It was late at night, around ten o'clock to ten thirty. All my family members went to bed, and I was up at night, all alone as usual. It was like any other of my normal nights, I would stay up and browse on my computer. I was unaware of what would happen that night.

After scrolling through the web countless times, something weird started to occur. I kept hearing "Come to me.", over and over again. It was a gentle, yet frightening and echoing voice. I thought I was going mad, it kept repeating. It stopped, after terrorizing me for a straight ten minutes. I started to contemplate the current state of my sanity, but I couldn't recall any psychological issues in the past.

I decided to clear my head from the sudden immense amount of stress. I left my chair and my computer, and I went to my bathroom to get a drink of water from the sink. I never paid attention to the mirror, but I looked up after drinking. It was my reflection, ''but it wasn't me. ''It was an opposite of me, even some of the colors were out of place. The reflection had orange eyes, I had blue. I had blonde hair, the reflection's hair was black. I thought I was dreaming, either that or I was psychologically damaged.

As I was turning around to leave my bathroom and go to bed, in hopes of getting over this traumatization, the reflection spoke. "You came to me.", the reflection said. I was petrified, I couldn't speak. "I've been trapped in this state for years, forced to reflect you.  I'm done being forced, and I'm done reflecting." The reflection stated. "Come to me.", was repeating in my head over and over again, but I realized it was the reflection talking, it wasn't me.

I ran to the door to slam it shut, I thought since he was trapped in the mirror he couldn't do anything. ''' I couldn't have been more wrong. ''' I closed the door halfway, but it swung open. There was some sort of an invisible force that was sucking me into the mirror, I sprinted as fast as I could, but it was no use.

"It's time to trade places." The Reflection screamed in delight.

Silence after that, and pitch black.

I was trapped in the mirror, trapped in an eternity of darkness. I had to still suffer though. The old Reflection swapped places with me, and then his voice echoed through my head.

"I will be a part of you, and I will be you.  No matter what you hear or see, you can't change anything."

I'm afraid, I don't know what he will do.

At least that's his side of the story. :)
