solina was getting worried.more people were disapearing,and the people that saw their attackers-all three of them- ended up in the loony bin. because what they reported, was impossible,shadows unnatached to anything or anyone.this time when she woke up she knew it was real. ironically her clock said it was exactly 12:00.in het mirror, the twin was there once more. she coaxed solina forward.she knew exactly what to do. as she reached up she knew her eyes were turning black.the glass rippled like water and solina leaped back in surprise.the twin disappeared, but she didnt wake up.
school seemed normal, until about fifteen minutes into first period social studies. an electronic voice came over the speakers"mrs. cray" it said"please send solina carr to the front office for dismissal"solina was shocked and slightly suspicious"yes ma'am" said mrs. cray, motioning for solina to pack up and head down to the office. when she reached the office two figures clothed in white waited.hoods covered their faces, but solina saw silver hair flowing out of one so she assumed it was a woman."come with us"said a silvery voice.she knew it was wrong and probably dangerous,but solina felt a certain tug, pulling her toward the strange people.she nodded cautiously and followed.they led her to a small car with dark tinted windows. she hesitated only a second before climbing into the back seat.the drive was quiet except for the whispered conversations between the white clothed figures.as they headed toward a tent in the woods a short way off, she started to get worried.the car pulled up beside the tent and the strangers got out.they took the hoods off and walked to a small clearing behind the tent, assuming shed follow."alright,where to begin?"said the woman"well, my name is solstice this is aero."solina nodded slowly"my names-" she was interupted by the stonefaced man, aero"solina, we know" "how do you-?"once again she was interupted"we have our ways" said solstice mysteriously. if she looked closely, solina could just see the outline of a swirling dragon on the strangers faces.wierd."look, i dont know whats going on,but if you dont tell me right now, i am so outta here."they exchanged an amused look, ticking her off even more."okay, long story short, weve been waiting for you.we know what you can do"she wasnt taken in "which would be?" she acted completely ignorant. at that exact moment snow started to fall, and whip around her like a blizzard."satisfied?"asked an irksome solstice."well... okay why can i do.. whatever i can do?"heck, she didnt even know what she could do!"how about you give us the what and well tell you the how"said aero in that annoying monotone" well its sorta like... and i just kinda touch the mirror...oh what the hell?!this is crazy!i see this person in the mirrors that looks just like me but also.. not like me.its like theres another world behind them."the twins exchanged a knowing look that automatically told her somtheing was up.""nononononononNO!you can not tell me there is another world behind a small square reflective surface!ooooooooh!okokokokokok, why are you even talking to me,huh? why am i here?" solina was aware of the fact that she was bordering on hysterical,but she needed answers."well,

solina carr woke up panting,her dream had felt so real.in it she had gotten out of bed and walked tothe mirror beside her dresser.there was a person in the mirror,a girl!the girl looked just like solina, but also...not .she had black hair and brown eyes,completely opposite from solinas blonde tresses and ocean blue eyes,but the girl was pale like solina and her face was the exact shape and size as hers. they were the exact same height though the black haired beuty in the mirror was curvier(and solina thought prettier)there was also an expression on her face a glint in her eyes that made solina uneasy when she thought about it. she had walked forward and her arm rose as if of its own accord.solina touched the the reflection,her eyes turning pitch black,and the surface rippled like water.she shook it off and put on a yellow t-shirt and jeans.she brushed her hair ,which hung shyly around her face nearly cocieling her eyes.solina grabbed a granola bar and hurried to the bus stop just in time to climb abourd. she sat in her usual seat by one of the windows and watched the scenary as it sped by.at kaine high alabama she only had one friend whom she met as she got off the bus. her name was allisa pierce, she was dark skinned with braded beaded hair and burgandy glasses framing her wide brown eyes.they chatted until the bell rang and mrs walsh started droning on about similes and metaphors. the normalcy lasted until around noon while solina was rushing to gym class.she knew she ought to hurry but couldnt help stopping. the opposite-twin was in the mirror on the wall beside the bathrooms.solina squeezed her eyes shut and when she opened them the girl was gone.just a dreamshe told herself it was only a dream.when she got home she heard her parents talking while she paused at the top of the stairs leading to her room."-know whats happening!"her dad was saying "an entire platoon lost in the woods!we found the camp,no signs of a struggle no bodies just poof..gone!" solina had a sinking feeling that the girl in the mirrors and the disappearing troops were connected somehow.like some horrible event was approaching,and no one would be able to stop it.
