I keep running, putting one foot in front of the other, not daring to look back to see the hurt on his face. I know what I am doing is cowardish, and selfish but compared to who I use to be just three short months ago, I am giving myself some credit for what I have been through. I just wish he could understand. I wish I could go back and take him with me, but if I turn around now, I will never be able to get out. I clench onto the mirror with all I have got, scared I could lose it. My only way out of this twisted land, or should I say the ONLY way out. I keep pressing forward, determined to get to the little clearing on the hill so I can leave. To go back to normal. A life without fairies, dwarfs, dragons, mermaids, and all the princesses/princes that everyone knows, or thought they knew. Everything changed in what seemed like a split second, the world started to turn black as I yell out the only name that seemed to matter most to me, even though I never knew it, was Cam.
