Haunted Mirror - Chapter 1
Short and skinny, Alice lacked the blue eyes that ran in the family. With hazel eyes and dark brown hair she didn't look much like her parents. She was the only child in her family and she felt like she was a vital role in her small household. Her parents, both with desk jobs, she found boring. Alice always wanted to have fun.
     "Allie! We are leaving, are you ready?" a woman screamed from the bottom floor of her house.
     "I'm almost done mom!" Allie answered, she was packing her essential things in her bag. Notebook, homework, three fairy books, and of course the lucky amulet her grandma had given her when she was younger. She was about to be dropped off at her grandmother's house for a couple of weeks since her parents were going on an important business trip.
     She really loved to spend time with her grandma. She would always be telling stories about her old creaky house. Allie, with the wide imagination she carried, believed all of them, she was just waiting for the minute that she could prove it to her parents. Her parents thought that this was just a stage and that in a couple of years she wouldn't believe in these any longer.
     Grandma would tell her stories about monsters, fairies, elves and fantasy, but these stories weren't her imagination. Allie was sure that there was something beyond her, something, at least one thing had to be true from all of those stories.
     It wasn't a long drive to her grandma's house and as soon as she got there she ran and greeted her grandmother. Allie ran into the house to drop off her belongings and her grandmother stayed outside speaking to her parents. Allie's room was on the second floor and when she looked out the window she saw her parents rushing to the car and leaving really quickly. Allie become very sad that they didn't wait for her to say goodbye like always. She dismissed the thought, they were probably late.
     When Allie started going down the stairs she found her grandmother. "Honey, I was about to go get you," she mumbled. "Story time?"
     "Yes!!" Allie ran with excitement to their usual spot.
     Allie took her seat on the couch were they always talked and her grandma quickly followed. She sat down and started her story telling.
     "Allie, this story is very special. I want you to listen very carefully," her grandmother said. It was a different tone, she didn't sound like she usually did when she was telling stories. "There is a mirror, a very special mirror. Do you want to know why it was so special?" her grandmother asked her.
     Allie nodded her head really quickly, she was anxious to know.
     "Very well, this mirror has magic inside of it, powerful magic. I went to see it one day and when I saw my reflection I panicked," her grandmother shivered and stopped speaking.
     "Are you okay grandma?"
