Story 2: The Mirror

Rosabelle was walking around the palace one day, looking for some adventure. Since she was never allowed to leave the palace, Rosabelle just went to the library but even one could get bored of books As she wandered around the palace, she saw a door that no one was allowed to go through because of reasons unknown. Rosabelle went to it and turned the doorknob slowly. Surprisingly, the door was unlocked. Behind the door, there was a tall, silver framed mirror with a gold rose and vine pattern on its edges. Rosabelle creeped up to the mirror slowly, uncertain of what to expect. She first saw a reflection of herself, then the image switched to a scene. Snow was falling gently onto the ground; an infinity of white stretched out to the horizon. A lone wolf with a dark coat howled in the silence of winter; its howl ringing in the air. Rosabelle felt sorry for the wolf and wanted to comfort it. She began to reach out toward the wolf, but the scene changed. The mirror now show the inside of an ocean, deep blue stretching endlessly. A silver necklace was sinking slowly, gleaming in the sunlight in the ocean. The charm at the center was a small diamond prism. The necklace soon sank into the infinite darkness of the ocean. The scene then switched to a garden of blood red roses in full bloom. When Rosabelle looked closer, she saw one pure white rose in the center of the garden. The white rose began to slowly turn black, then turned back to white again. A reflection of herself was now shown in the mirror, but it did not copy her movements. The reflection extended its hand to Rosabelle, as if inviting her to come into the mirror. Hesitantly, Rosabelle grabbed the reflection's hand. The reflection pulled her into the mirror slowly. Just before Rosabelle went through the mirror, she thought to herself "Well, this isn't quite the adventure I was expecting but it's better than nothing". Rosabelle entered the mirror, unsure what to expect on the other side.
