Chapter 3: Mirrors

I don't like mirrors, to many movies in regards to them. Too many scary stories involving them. Those two way mirrors scare me too. I only have two mirrors at him, one in the bathroom and one in the bedroom. I don't really look at it either, it's usually blocked and only the head and up can be seen. One of my nightmares involved it.

It was a lazy hot July evening, all the windows where open and the fan was on full blast. We had no central AC, this was an old home in the middle of the city. My mirror faces one of the windows. It was roughly 3am, I time I'm always awake that time. It's weird, no matter who's house I'm in or if I have nothing to do the next day, I wake up at 3am. I would be in deep sleep and my eyes would open at 3am. It was annoying, I usually sleep at midnight. The bedroom door was open and the demon cat was walking in and hour of the bedroom. He finally made up his mind and jumped in bed. He loved my feet, no idea why but he's always slept on which ever side I sleep on. I tried petting him with my foot but I couldn't move. Damn another one, another sleep paralysis. I just laid there look at the mirror, watching the reflection of my cat breathing in and out. It had felt like 15 minutes of me just lying there staring, when I see movement neat the window. I tried turning around but I was paralyzed. All I could do was look at the reflection.

It's weird, the bedroom is on the second floor. It could be just the tree branch from my neighbor, but it's not windy. That shadow was moving. I kept my eyes on the mirror. I could hear my boo breath in and out. It was quite, just the sound of random cars passing by off in the distance. I saw a hand, no it was a branch. It brushed up against the screen. Maybe a a rodent was running up and down that branch, that makes sense. But instead of moving up and down, it moves left to right. It looked like four long fingers waiving at me. I tried to look closer but my heart dropped when the face popped down like it was looking it. Something y'all enough to reach the second floor was looking in scanning the room. I dark, I thought, it can't see me. It kept scanning, his head was bobbing left to right and then forward in back. It was blind, it made the same head movements I make when trying to focus on things. It's eyes finally set on the cat, nestled in between my legs.

My cat just laid there motionless too, his breathing pattern almost matched my boos. I hear the things nails scratch the screen on the window. First just one deep swipe from the bottom to the top, it didn't brake anything. I then see it's mouth, it was trying to bite it off. It had rows like a shark and four protruding long ones like an alligator. It obviously had a snout, it couldn't bite the screen. The moon started showing through the clouds and I finally see it's face. It had a human skin tone, ears that flopped over like pig ears, it's snout wasn't that big but the look on its face showed it wasn't overly smart. The eyes deep big and black, it sparkled a little like you can see a universe in them. It looked like it's been crying, it's tears looked like dried blood. Every time it opened it's mouth, you can see strips of meat and fur in between its rows of teeth. It was getting frustrated, I seen it clench it's hand into a fist and he punched the screen. The screen dented but didn't break. The noise was loud, I don't know how the cat and my boo don't wake up to the noise. It got mad, it screamed in frustration. It was a mixture of a pig and human cry. You can hear a high squeal but then a random human word gurgling in the back of its throat. Saliva was flying out of its mouth and what looked like his breath. It's hot out, how can you see his breath like we where in 30 degree weather. It grunted and it's fingers felt all around the screen again. It nailed caught a corner that was dented in word so it caused a little hole. It's whole focus shifted to the hole, it sniffed around like a dog would. It smiled as he put one finger in the hole. My heart couldn't stop beating, it got louder and louder as that thing put another finger in the hole. It pushed the screen in as it placed his forth finger it. You hear the screeching of metal on metal as it folded the screen to the other side. I could feel my finger moving as that ring reached it. Our window is far from the bed, human arms can't touch the bed from that window. My heart sank as I hear another scratching sound near the window next to me. I couldn't see what was happening but I could hear it. Just like the one I see on the reflection, it also found a hole. I see it's claws reaching over towards my cat. It's fury arm full of dirt and grease brushes along side my boos leg. He moved a little and the arm stopped moving. I could see it's head thinking, wondering what was that movement. It pointed down one of the fingers like it was testing the waters. It touches me instead, it was cold and slimy. Slimy like snot on a kids nose. Cold like ice that has been sitting in a freezer for quite sometime. It kept poking my leg, probably because it was bouncy and not hairy like a cat. It lowered it's whole hand and it rubbed my leg, squeezing every so often. You could see the perplexed look on its face as it was processing on what it was touching. My cat then moved, it got up and made a circle counter clockwise. He stretched out and it's tail was wagging up and down slowly at the bottom of my foot. The things head shifted and it was watching the tail move up and down. At the same time I see a long cricket like arm reaching in from the window near me. It was bumping into things too, felt it's way around and it found the bed. I can see it feeling it's way up and it was not creepy looking. It was shaped like a human arm, ridiculously long but looked like a crickets arm at the same time. It tugged on the blanket and for a a second, nothing moved. No sound was made. The thing I saw in the mirror shifted it's eyes towards me, it grinned showing me every single tooth in the mouth. It looked like it was opening it's eyes like a reptile would. It's piercing eyes looked at me, it was awfully quite. Out of nowhere I see another head pop up behind it. Taller and scarier. It smiled too and for a brief second, nothing moved or made a sound. My boo and cat stopped breathing. I hear rustling next to my window and I hear breathing next to my head.

"Hello," I heard a it whisper almost like it was in my ear. Then everything moved, the bed shook like there was an earthquake, the cricket arm pulled on the blanket, the other arm pulled my leg, my boo moved like he was having a sezier, my cat jumped screaming, and the three heads screamed a piercing scream. I jolted up screaming my head off, sweating up a storm.

"Oh my god," my boo cried as he ran in from the game room, "What happened?!"

I was sitting in bed crying, I looked around and everyone was where it should be. The screens where fine and the bed was fine. I looked up at my boo and his eyes where that of the creature. Deep big and black, like the universe was in his eyes.
