Chapter 1
She jolted upright, eyes wide and wild. Her gaze swept frantically over her dark bedroom as she tried to get her gasping breath under control. 'Only a dream,' Lillith thought to herself. Her loose black curls stuck to the back of her neck, and she was drenched in a cold sweat. She kicked off the sheets, and got out of her bed. A little wobbly on her feet she made it to the bathroom. Lillith shut the door, and turned on the light. Her smooth pale face, reflected in the bathroom mirror, was shiny and her bangs plastered to her forehead. With a shaky hand she turned on the faucet. She cupped her hands under the water, and splashed her face, and ran her wet hands over the back of her neck, moving her long, wavy curtain of hair to the side. The cool water felt nice on her clammy skin. Lillith grabbed a towel off the nearby rack, and wiped her face dry. She looked back into the mirror, and swept her bangs back behind her ear. Ordinary. That's what she thought of herself. Nothing special about her grey blue eyes, or other features. She was average height, average body for a 15 year old.
Her breathing had gone back to normal, and the blood was no longer pounding in her ears. As she reached out to turn the sink off she noticed something strange. The bathroom mirror had begun to fog up. 'What the...' she thought. She hadn't had the hot water running, so what's with the fog? She reached up to touch to mirror, and found heat resonating off. "What in the world?" she said to her self quietly as she put her hand on the now very hazy surface. Her eyes went wide, and her breathing picked up again. Her hand had not touched the glass, it had gone straight through it. She tried to pull her hand out of the mirror but it would not give it up. There was a sudden grip, like gravity, on her hand that pulled her arm into the glass, and slowly she was being sucked through the fog. 'Why am I not screaming?' she thought as the mirror consumed her whole arm. 'Damn, I'm not gonna get out of this,' she realized, 'Well if there's no going back, better go forward.' She stopped resisting the pull, and let the gravity take her into what was a mirror.
