Witches and Wedding Bells
"Sola-Soalce; Sola-Solet, report to here; the HOUR is SET...!" The sun began to set over Witchhelm. It was the most sinister day of the year in the realm of witches and warlocks and the gathering hour had come. In a barren, unwooded area, a scraggly haired witch and balding warlock, both hidden beneath hooded robes, materialized from out of the darkness and stood around a tiny circle of stones. There were also two much younger witches, identical and red-haired. They both stood at a distance away, bored by the opening ceremony and choosing to gaze off into the distance for even more important arrivals.

I walked by the mirror and noticed something freaky about it. I became intimidated by it. I had to step back from it. Something just wasn't right. My stomach grew shaky, so I hid behind the room divider in my bedroom. That way the mirror was not able to see me, but I could keep an eye on it.
