(A/N: I'm really sorry this came late =()

"Please... please, don't do this to me..." Cleo begged, her hands pressed against the glass of the mirror that separated her from the living world.

Octavia held the chair tighter, her breathing heavy from the fear coursing through her veins.

"I don't want- I don't- Please, get out...!" The girl's green eyes widened with pleading and terror.

Cleo slammed her hands against the mirror, a sob escaping her cracked and bleeding lips. "You can't do this! You'll trap me here forever if you do!"

Octavia was the only person who could see her- who could hear the poor soul trapped within the mirror world. She couldn't be left here, she needed to escape.

But Octavia couldn't listen. She was in disbelief from the minute she met Cleo, the ghost girl that claimed her parents had killed her. That had roamed the mirrors of the Shylock Manor since before she was more.

Her parents could never do something like that, could they?

But looking at Cleo, so terrified and broken, there was no denying she spoke the truth.

Octavia didn't want the truth, though. She wanted her life back. She wanted to perception the her world was perfect and no one in her family could commit such a crime.

The Shylock girl wanted to break the mirror Cleo spoke to her from. Even if she knew that refusing to help her would doom Cleo to the mirror world for linger. Possibly forever.

Cleo's stomach formed into a pit as she realized Octavia wouldn't back down. She lifted the chair slightly, ready to shatter the glass of the mirror and rid herself of this spector.

"Please..." Cleo's voice broke with grief. "Via, please stop..."

Octavia's body froze, staring at her. She couldn't do it.
