"Mom I'm home!" I shout when I close the door of our house.

It is a one story brick townhouse with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Ever since I can remember I have lived in this house with my Mom and Dad.

"Hi sweet heart me and your father were just about to go out for a date." Mom says as her sticks her head out of the bathroom.

Her hair is the same raven black as mine but that is where the similarities end she has light brown skin and green eyes. I take after my dad with his pale skin brown eyes and freckles.

"Almost ready sugar plumb we have reservations at 6:30" My dad says walking down the hall in a dress shirt and slacks "Oh Hi sweetie how was your day?"

"Fine dad I got my school pictures today." I say with a smile.

"Oh that's grate sweetheart!" My mom says.

I hand her my pictures and give her a kiss on the cheek.

I walk to my room and say "Bye mom bye dad have a nice night."

I close the door and set down my bag next to my bed. I flop on to the bed and instantly fall asleep.

*********

I wake up to my alarm clock's screaming voice in my ear. I sit up in bed and look around my room The midnight blue walls are just as comforting as the black mass that is my bed. I brush out my hair and grab the first thing I see in my closet. I quietly walk down the hall, grab a banana from the kitchen then head off to school. My mom won't be headed to work for a couple more hours so I don't bother saying buy.

I pull up to school and head into first period and start my boring day at school.

I'm listening to Mr.Casimir drone on about american History when an announcement comes over the intercom.

Will Ms.Jadwiga Please report to the front office.

I feel every head turn to me when I stand and cross to the door. I walk towards the front office and wonder what this could be for. I didn't do anything wrong probably just some question for me. When I walk into the office I stop at the sympathy looks I am getting from everyone. Then I realize one of the eyes looking at me are the eyes of a police officer.

"What's wrong what happened?" I ask starting to worry more and more as the police officer makes her way over to me.

"Ms.Jadwiga There has been an car accident," She says her voice soft and sincere "I'm sorry but your mother is dead."

My heart stops beating then my mom's dead that can't be true there must've been a mistake I open my mouth to tell her that. I stop dead in my tracks her eyes are not lying my mom is dead. Oh my God my mom is dead!

I turn and run out of the office and sprint to my car ignoring the police calling after me. My sight is beary from tears I need my comforting dance room now. I have so many memories of mom there teaching me how to dance and just laughing. I start to cry harder as I drive to Pixy Dancers. I pull into a parking spot and turn off my car still balling. I run past marlene who tries to ask what's wrong. I run straight into my special room close the door then crumble against the mirror. I just cry and cry and cry.

I have no idea how long I had been crying when I feel a silky soft hand on my shoulder. Blake must be here. He crouches next to me I crumble against his chest he just holds me and stroked my hair. When I stop crying I'm pretty sure it's only because I am dehidraighted. I lean away from Blake to say thank you. I look up at his face and stop. The face I am staring up at is not Blake somehow it's Destin.

"How.... How?" I say unable to finish my sentence.

"I sow you thought the mirror the gateway to my realm and I could not stand see in you so sad," Destin says is a silky british accent "I'm so sorry about your mother I remember when she was first teaching you how to dance. She loved you with everything in her and you loved her the same."

"I'm sorry but staying in this realm too long is not safe for me I have to go back." Destin says.

"No! please don't leave you being here helps." I say.

Wow do I sound cheesy I can't believe I just said that.

"You can come with me if you wish." Destin says.

I don't know what made me but I nod. Destin stands and holds out his hand to me. I grasp his hand depending on his strength for support. He lifts his other hand and waves it in front of the mirror. I gasp as a world filled with glistening colors appears behind the glass.

Destin steps forward straight through the mirror taking my hand with him. It feels like icey cold slime sliding over my skin I shiver. I am still going to folow Destin but now I am a little bit more sceptical of Destin's intechions. I start to walk through and then here the door open.

"L I came as soon as I heard. I am so...... What the Hell!" I here Blake say behind me.

I am already though the mirror when Blake grabs my other hand. The portal is starting to close when Blake is pulled the rest of the way though. I try to tell him to go back but the portal is already closed.
