The light thud of footsteps made Molly's heart skip in her chest. A shadow passed outside the door. "Anna?" she asked. She recognized the light breathing and the shuffle of her sisters feet. The figure moved slowly away. Molly stepped carefully out of her bed, keeping her head down as she passed the small round mirror hanging on her wall. Curiosity filled her as she passed the mirror, but her fear kept her from looking into it to see what was there.
She stepped out into the dark hallway and walked quickly , but quietly down the staircase to the main floor. After rounding the corner she opened the door that led to the basement. "Anna?"
Anna must have gone downstairs, she had to stop her. Each stair creaked underneath her footsteps. The air getting thicker and thicker like stealing the air from her lungs while she descended into the darkness. "Anna?" she whispered. She heard nothing but her own feet shaking. She reached the bottom and stretched her fingers up to pull on the light switch that connected to the lamp hanging on the ceiling. She saw nothing but the dark mirror covered with a white sheet. Her fingers shook and dripped with sweat; she would find her sister no matter what.
Molly pulled the big white sheet from the mirror and looked at the image of her twin. Her twin smiled back at her before cocking her head sideways. Their relationship had changed then. Her sister was gone into the mirror. Molly reached out to touch the mirror, then pulled back in utter horror. Her mind started to recall what she was doing. She was back downstairs in front of the mirror. She tried to move but her legs wouldn't allow it. Her twin leaned forward. Her face distorted into an evil sneer. She tried to scream but she could hear nothing coming out of her throat. She tried to turn and run but stumbled backward from hitting a wall. Not a wall but the mirror. She screamed soundlessly and pounded on the invisible surface as she watched the creature with her face smiling back from the other side. She looked behind her and saw nothing. Just blackness. Molly turned back to Anna and she just smiled back at her and reached up and turned off the light as she walked back up the stairs.
