Mirror , Mirror on the wall

My Discovery

"Don't turn around " I tell myself as I sneak a glance at the mirror in front of me. "It's not real " I say trying to reassure myself looking back at the mirror . The woman I see in the mirror is standing right behind me and she looks like my ... mother .

But that's impossible, my mother passed away 10 years ago when I was a mere little 6 year old girl. My one wish is to spend just one more day with her and ask her why she had to leave me so soon, but I know no one can come back from the dead not even my special mother . I look back at the mirror and all I see now is my reflection and my brown puppy dog eyes filled with misery and sorrow , then I check the time on my phone and realize I only have 5 minutes go get to school.

So I quickly tie my hair up in a ponytail and decide to figure out why my mother was in the mirror when I get back from school. How I got the mirror is actually a good question I'm sure all of you are asking , well just before my mother died on my 5th birthday my mother gave me a mirror and she told me ' this isn't just an ordinary mirror and you must always cherish it and be careful with it cause I means so much to me ' so I have always take care of it .

Oh how rude of me , I forgot to introduce myself my name is Abigail Powell and I'm in Year 10 at high school . I also live with my dad and my two brothers who are both younger than me .    
So anyway I walk to school because it's a block away and on the way I meet up with my best friend Rachel Johnson she is the same age as me and we have been best friends she we were 7 years old . And she was there for my mothers funeral which helped me heaps , now about Rachel she is definitely the prettiest girl in Year 10 and  she is really popular but she has never once forgotten about me and she is always trying to invite me to things with her other friends but she is always telling me that we will always be best friends and we tell each other everything .

So on our way to school today I tell her about how I saw my mothers reflection in the mirror and she tells me I was probably thinking about her so much I was hallucinating that she was actually there but she wasn't . Now the one thing I most like about Rachel is her honesty she is always saying what she is thinking and right now that is what I really needed.

But the worst thing is me and Rachel are in different classes so I only get to speak to her during lunch break but we are never alone so I have to wait till I get home to tell her everything. So all day I am trying to figure out a solution of why I saw my mother in the mirror and suddenly it comes to me , just before my mother passed away she told me if I ever needed any help or I was doubting myself I should talk to the school librarian and ask her for a book and say " My mother Chelsea Powell told me ask you for a book with all the answers" so at lunch that's exactly what I did and I even dragged Rachel along with me .

So I asked the librarian for a book with all the answers and she lead me to a corner in the library that was old and dusty and she picked out a book called ' Magic and The Answers' and she gave me the book and told me if I needed anything specific to just ask the book for a name or an object and it would turn to the page and I would get my answer so that's what I did .

First , I asked for the name 'Chelsea Powell' and it turned I page 768 and there in this book was a photo of my mother in a school uniform that I didn't recognize and apparently she went to a school in England to study magic and she was friends with my father and later in life they got married .

Next I asked for a mirror that showed reflections that weren't your own and it came up with a mirror like mine but it was larger and at the top of the mirror was a bunch of writing in Latin which I didn't understand and I was about to start reading about it then the bell rang for the end of lunch and so I went up to the librarian "Can I borrow this book " I asked and she yelled at me and said " This book is strictly off limits and I don't know how you found it but it is forbidden to students and you are never allowed in this library again so I just stormed out of there while Rachel stayed back and apologized for my rude behavior. My rude behavior the librarian is the one who yelled at me for nothing....
