We left shortly after what happened. My parents seemed shock at what my grandmother had given me. They were talking quietly to themselves when it looked like i was listening to my ipod. my mother whispered, "Why did mother give John the mirror instead of us. What ould a simple 15 year old boy do with it." my farther replied, "Maybe she thought that he would keep it in the family or take better care of it." I just turned back to my music when they started talking how rude Aunt Luna acted.
when we got home, i just went straight to my room and layed down. I woke with my bed dripping with sweat. was this cause of what happened in my dream. the dream was almost the same as last time, but the mirror was in it this time. there was also something in the mirror that shouldnt be there. My grandmother was in ther mirror! she was shouting at the woman in the rocking chair "let me out, you demon!" my grandmothere yelled. the woman in the chair said, "Now Sally, you have been a bad girl and need to be taught a lesson." Sally just gave a loud scream. the woman in the chair turned around to look at me. "uuhh!" i yelled. the woman was my grandmother too. She said to me, "John it is me your grandmother. don't worry, I'm not the one you should be scared of. Sally had it coming to her."
About a week later, after that dream again I got out of bed and went down to the kitchen. My mother just finished cooking her famous buttermilk pancakes. I got a glass of milk then sat at the table. "mom?" I said in a calm voice, "Did soimething weird happen to grandma before i was born?" She looked at me with shock. She said in a low voice,"what do you mean?"
I replied, "Like, was she different ever before in her life?"
mother said, "well, back when i was a little girl your grandmother was a witch. About a year after my farther died, she became worse. She would always treat your aunt luna and I so terribly. Then when my granmother died, your great grandmother. Grandma inheratted the mirror. After a month, she started actinh like someone was coming to get her. She always watched her back and locked her bedroom door when she went to sleep." She took a deep long breath, " Then one day she had the mirror on the floor and a hammer in her hand. She was screaming at it saying, "you will never switch with me you demon!"" "I was so scared that I called the neighbors and they stopped her. They took me and my sister to their house for the night. Then the next morning your aunt and i went back to our. I will never forget what she did. she was standing at the door with a huge smile on her face. She came to us and gave us the biggest hug she had in years. she said, "I am so sorry my children for acting the way I have for years. I promise that i will be the best mother to you and your children from now on."
I stayed quiet for a moment then said calmly, "wow,I can never see grandmother acting that way. Thanks mom for telling me this story." just gave her beautiful smile just like grandma did.
Ater lunch we all left the house and started to take the long drive to my grandmothers house to pick... the mirror.
