We met the QueenA Chapter by . "What the hell is that?" I asked, not realizing it was a dead soul. I ran to my sibling's
who were laughing at some kind of awkward photo. "We've got to go
into the mirror" I told them in an urgent voice. They both looked at me in
a strange but understandable look. "Why?" Zack
finally asked, still looking at me in that strange way. I didn't answer instead
I opened the book on the page I was reading before and handed them the book.
They both read it carefully and Susan had murmured a few times and then looked
up at me. "You're right we
have to go into that mirror" she confirmed taking the book from Zack. "I don't know it
might be scary in there and we might get lost" feared Zack standing up. I
looked at Susan strangely. "You don't want
to go on an adventure? I don't think I know you any more" she laughed and
looked at him. "And anyway we
will be there" I spoke trying to calm him down. He stood up on the chair. "You're right
I'm being stupid. Now are we going there or not?!" he announced in a funny
British accent. We both laughed but it wasn't for long. The book in Susan's
hands was shaking. And after a minute or two the book opened. "Don't look at
me. I didn't do anything!" she added when both of us looked at her thinking
it was one of her tricks. Susan dropped the book
for she couldn't bear it any longer. The old and dusty book passed through all
the pages and then slammed with a big noise. Zack was petrified next to the
tunnel door. It opened again but now a ghost came out making some ripped out
pages fly out. It was the kind that you would see in movies but much scarier. "What the hell
is that?" I asked, not realizing it was a dead soul. "I am Queen
Blanche the Horrible!" she shouted in a scary deep tone for a song
actually for me it was more of a slow Halloween rap. I had seen a photo of
her somewhere and then I saw the book on the floor. I picked it up and went
through the pages till I saw the painting. She was from the unknown land! I started to feel the
fear all over me. My siblings looked at me and knew the Queen was up to no
good. "You three
children shall save my daughter, Keira, from that wretched mirror. If not your
family shall be cursed with black magic!" she exclaimed and disappeared.
We all nodded our heads. We knew she wasn't there but we felt like we were
being watched. "Come on!"
shouted Zack from the other side of the tunnel. We ran through the passageway
and ended up in my room. Zack was sitting on my bed looking at the mirror. "Let's go!"
said Susan who was getting impatient. "Wait!" I
grabbed her hand "Don't you remember the legend?" They nodded their
heads and waited for me to talk. "The princess
wanted to destroy London and if we bring her out she'll probably still be waiting
for that moment" I explained them. "So you suggest
that we should let that 'Queen' curse our family?" Susan asked looking at
me as if saying 'don't you even think about it'. "No! I mean that
we should convince her that revenge isn't the only way to solve the
problem" I spoke as if I were at a family reunion. "That sounds
much better!" confirmed Zack and saw Susan touch the mirror and disappear. "Susan!" I
ran to the mirror and was pushed me Zack into the glassy surface.
I felt strange, like
if I was walking on glass and to my surprise, I was. I looked around and then
Zack fell on me. "Sorry!" he
told me whilst getting of me. "It's OK" I
apologized and Zack helped me up. We both looked around we were surrounded by
mirrors everywhere. "Hey! Come
here!" called Susan from a corner. We both ran saying 'Ouch!' every now
and then. When we arrived we saw a crystal door. "Really?!
Everything has to be made out of glass in here?" Zack complained knocking
on the door. "What do you
expect? You're in a mirror!" I told him grabbing his hand so that he would
stop banging the door. His fingers were already bleeding from the sharp crystal
and diamond. Susan didn't like silence and so she broke it. "I think that
whatever is behind this door will help us find Keira" she thought while
knocking on the door as Zack had done but nothing happened. "You'd better
stop, your fingers will start bleeding" I advised her giving her a tissue
to wipe the blood off. "How do you get through
this?" Zack asked while hitting the door again. "Look there's a
number on top" I pointed out and they both looked up. "Yeah, I can see
it I think it is 1890" Susan mouthed and then looked at the book. "The year the
princess got cursed 1875! Come lift Zack up, he's the lightest!" I
remembered and lifted Zack up. He put the year '1875' and I put him down again.
The door made a few noises and started opening very slowly. © 2012 .Author's Note
