She was running and running but she couldn’t get away! Oh no! They’re gaining on me, she thought while she willed her legs to go faster, but they refused. How was she supposed to get away? She silently cursed her legs as they refused again. “Onca!” she shouted the freeze spell at the top of her lungs while wishing she was somewhere, anywhere else. The spell just seemed to bounce off of the creatures, black, hideous creatures that chased her through the night. Like always right before it got her she awoke screaming and crying. That nightmare that always chased her through the night was gone, away forever or was it. Konya had defeated the creature that chased her through her dreams in the night. Even though she had always tried to forget it, the creature in the dark had come back; she could feel it in her bones and through her magic. She, like always, awoke with a start and lathered in sweat like a horse that has went for a ten mile gallop, and like always her grandma came running in the room as fast as her cane would let her. “Are you alright sweetie?” her grandma asked her voice filled with concern,” you look paler than other times when you have those awful nightmares. Are you sure you’re ok?” Konya got up from bed without even looking at her grandma, and she went to the bathroom with her grandma following her close behind. She looked straight into the mirror, and like always and usually, she couldn’t even see her own reflection. That was normal, but that was the only thing that she had kept from her grandma. ”Honey is there something you should tell me?” Konya had always lived with her grandma after her mom had died from giving birth. Konya had never even seen her mom, because her mom had died instantly. Konya had never forgiven her dad for running off on her mom right when he had found out her mom was pregnant with Konya. Her grandmother was sensing the anger rising in Konya, stepped back and away from her, at the exact moment the mirror burst into a million pieces and back again.” Honey, you have to learn to control this anger towards everybody.” With that Konya looked towards her and opened her fist, and about a million pieces of glass fibers fell out. Then she blacked out never to remember those last few moments with the mirror, but to remember everything else, like always. The next day Konya looked in the mirror to fix her hair, and then she remembered that she couldn’t see her reflection. Thanks to the creature in the dark she couldn’t see her reflection. When she looked into the eyes of the creature in the dark, they burned her forever, and now she really can’t see how her reflection looked. The only way to be able for her to ever see her reflection again was for the creature in the dark to be alive again. But she looked anyway, only to discover that she could, in fact, see her reflection again. Oh no, the creature in the dark is indeed back. To think I just thought that my magic was mistaken, she thought miserably. I was so wrong. Oh well, I’ll get it sorted out later, right now I better get to breakfast if I want any. How was she supposed to know that there wasn’t going to be a later?
Her grandma was already downstairs with the oven on and the smell of food drifting silently upstairs to Konya’s room. But, something was wrong, Konya could tell because her grandmother had her disappointed face on. Oh great, what’d I do now? This can’t be good because grams is tapping her foot like I kept something from her… oh no, how did she find out?”Honey, is there something you should tell me?” from the way that she was talking Konya knew that she knew about the mirror.
