Miranda awoke with a jolt. Beads of sweat clung to her scalp , her breathing erratic as she fought to calm her racing heart. Her mind raced , her thoughts scattered .
A whirlpool of images rapidly flashed before her eyes . It's vibrant colours clashing with one another as they fought to grasp her attention. Overwhelmed , Miranda closed her eyes . Trying once more to collect her shambled thoughts .
She vaguely recalled , awakening in a meadow . 'Somnium' she murmured with a smile , as she remebered the way in which the sun caressed her face and the delicious scents that wrapped around her .
She remebered seeing a woman of exquisite grace . Her face bearing a beauty that would shame the angels. She probed her mind , trying to locate the name of the angelic woman , but to no avail , she was met with yet another blank wall.
Miranda felt utterly and completely hopeless. Tears of frustration stung her eyes , threatening to fall ,but being a fighter , she bravely swallowed them down.
Her gaze roamed her bedroom ,before settling on the mirror that hung in the far corner . She gazed intently at the sheet of glass that hung on the wall.
A medium sized woman stared back at her. Locks of fire clung to her scalp , while eyes overflowing with infinite uncertainty and sorrow , peered at her.
She advanced towards the mirror , reaching out a tentative hand ,as she traced its smooth ,glassy surface . The woman in the mirror , mirroring her every action .
Miranda continued to intently stare at the mirror. Her gaze locked on her reflection ...when all of sudden ... her reflection began to vanish and In its place stood another soul .
Miranda gasped as she stared into the eyes of another angelic beauty . The stranger gazed back . Her ocean blue eyes flooding with happiness. She donned a blood red gown that fit her like a glove, while accentuating her slender curves.
Miranda felt need to cover herself as she stood before this angelic beauty in a simple trackpants and thank top.
The strage woman moved . Her sleek dess complying as it flowed down her body like water. She opened her mouth and spoke ...but her words remained within the impenetrable glass . The woman tried again but her words were unable to be heard.
"I can't hear you ." Miranda shouted . Despersately swaying her arms in an attempt to convey her message .
The woman just smiled before nodding in understanding . She looked at Miranda tapping her head before pointing to her ears.
"Huh?" Miranda asked . Her brows knitting together in confusion .
"What are you trying to ........." Miranda failed to complete her sentence when she felt someone invade her mind .
'Use the key'
Miranda shook her head. Was she hearing voices now ?
'Use the key ' The voice in her head was urgent now and more persistent .
Miranda questioningly at the woman . No! It can't be ........could it ?
The woman smiled reassuringly , nodding her head . Mirandas eyes widened .
It was the woman !
'Use the key ' the voice repeated.
"I have no key . " shouted Miranda .
The woman in the mirror gestured to her neck , frantically grabbing it. Mirandas eyebrows knitted in confusion . What on earth could she be referring to ?
Finally the answer dawned on her.
"My necklace !"she breathed, her eyes widening in realisation.
The woman smiled encouragingly. Relief evident on her face as she gestured to a small dent along the face of the wall.
Miranda neared the dent. No . Not a dent , but rather a keyhole with quute a peculiar shape . How odd. It looked just like .....oh! Her necklace. Her necklace was the key to unlocking the mirror .
Miranda breathed out a gasp of surprise as she crouched down , preparing to unlock the mirror. Her heart beat in excitement , blood thrumming through her ears as she imagined the possibilities that lay behind that door.
Slowly , cautiously ..she placed the neckalce in the keyhole and waited with bated breath .
It fit perfectly !
The sound of groaning wood and the mechanical Turing of wheels and cogs filled the room . The edges of the mirror vibrated , it's crevices glowing as the mirror sprang open , like a door , revealing a dark , narrow pathway .
Miranda took a deep breath , trying to muster her courage as she hesitantly stepped over the threshold and ventured into the unknown.
