The Murderous Mirror Pt.23
Annabelle

Sjhrcf - Annabelle stepped on the recently moved bed that she put under the vent. She was half in when she looked back toward her mother and noticed her blue shimmering veins. Then there were blaring red sirens screaming in her ears. She had to move faster. She took a quick look back towards her mother again. She was flopping like a fish out of water. She kept moving but could her people's booted feet slamming down on the floor ever so closer coming toward the non-existent door. She had to move faster.




Ben

11:45 am - Ben took a left turn into the hospital almost hitting the curb. Luna was in the passenger seat moving her knee up and down anxiously. He was nervous too but he felt he needed to be strong for her. Never had he felt this way even for her. They had known each other for several years yet he's only felt this way about her now. What changed? But then he noticed a car, vaguely recognizable, yet he knew it for some reason. It was a black station wagon. The windows were darker than what he thought would have been legal.

11:55 am - They walked to the room discussing what they were going to say to Annabelle or whoever was in her body once they got there. But when they got to the room it wasn’t just her. There was a lady that wore all black that Ben assumed was her mother. Now the car made sense. It was her mom. The Stepdad also stood there in a white doctors jacket checking the vitals machine sitting next to the bed that “it” was still lying in. They stood outside of the room for several minutes overhearing their conversation. While standing there they overheard the step dad talking about how she could leave and how she was well enough to go home. But they all knew that Annabelle's mom was not even in the contacts for the person to be called if she was free to leave. Also if it was Annabelle even though sometimes she hated her dad she wouldn’t want to go to her mom’s after getting hurt. And neither Ben nor Luna saw Annabelle's dad in the room. They discussed for a couple seconds more before Ben entered the room to ask them, Where Annabelle's dad is?





Annabelle

Lakdfe - Annabelle kept hearing stomps and sirens below her. She kept moving faster, and faster, and faster. She took a left turn then a right and then went straight for several seconds but it felt like hours with the sirens screaming in her ear. Then she arrived at a vent. The room below was black reminiscent with a red tint illuminating the room. Then she lurched over the vent to take a closer inspection of the room below. Creak. Crunch. Her ankle was like a week old Apple. Squishy and bruised. But no blood at least not yet. She saw her own face. Dirty and dusty. Then she was on the floor on top of her reflection staring into her bloodshot eyes. Then it changed, it was no longer her but her mother, with a person that seemed to be her, it looked like her how could it not be. There was also a man whom she didn't know, she's never seen him before but he was in a white lab coat. There were also two black shadows on the wall behind the bed, they looked recognisable, but she couldn't remember, was she forgetting. They must have been…, she couldn't remember, it was on the tip of her tongue about to fall out. But after all it was only just a shadow.
