Oliver sat in the car watching the trees fly by, the sound of 80s rock filled the 2002 Minivan the mom turned the music down handing Oliver her tablet.
“Do you want to talk? I'm sorry you have to go through this honey tell me your thoughts.” Oliver's mother spoke in a sweet voice
Oliver looked at his Mom slowly taking his tablet he turned on an app that spoke for him he typed it in
“I don't want to leave I'll miss my friends.” The tablet spoke Oliver looked at his Mom, she nodded and pat his head trying to reassure him
Then the car suddenly stopped jerking Oliver and his Mom.
Oliver's heart pounded when he saw a flash of bright light he thought he passed out, but he knew he didn't, there wasn't a crash so nothing happened.
Oliver's Mom whose name is Mary looked at her startled husband John, Oliver sat all the way up in the seat, a car had driven into their lane John honked his horn, he went to get out of the car but the car drove around then John gripes about it the entire way to the new house
They finally pulled up into the driveway
“Isn't it beautiful Ollie?” Mary smiled,
Oliver looked at the house it was slightly bigger than his old house he scrunched up his nose
Mary sighed and looked at John with pleading eyes
“It'll be better here John you'll see! New school plenty of woods got everything for adventure.”
He ruffled up his brown hair Oliver looked at his Dad.
Oliver has dark brown hair and green eyes with freckles
He got the brown hair from his Dad and the freckles from his Mom had red hair and freckles
Oliver shook his head and went inside he looked around the house
Then he went upstairs he looked through a few rooms
Oliver already had his room picked the moving truck came in.
Within a few hours they already had everything finished, Oliver went upstairs to his room and sat on his bed looking at his own reflection in the mirror
He laid on his back as he stared up at the ceiling
Oliver opened his mouth trying to make a noise he had a faint memory of him talking, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't speak.
No noise came out of his mouth only the sounds of cars driving by filled the emptiness in the room.
Then he heard it, the sound of glass shattering he sat up in panic he looked in a mirror that was broken in different pieces he got up and slowly walked up to the now shattered mirror,
He crouched down to pick up the glass but when he did the glass shards vanish,
Oliver looked up at the mirror, it was back in place as if nothing happened he slowly stood up and took a step back,
Oliver covered his ears as he heard a piercing scream as if someone was begging
“Please stop.” Oliver thought to himself, he looked up. The mirror shook violently he reached out to hold it still, but when he touched the glass the mirror glowed then he fell through.
