Later that day when Mick went out again I sat on my bed reading my baby books. I had read most of them and it didn't take long till I began to feel bored. I felt like I was well enough prepared by now for the birth and the baby, as well as anyone can for such a big thing, I guess. So I put down my book and floated towards the window to look out. I sat in the windowsill and stared down into the Butterfly Garden. How I missed going there and watching the butterflies twirling around over my head. Above the castle students were practicing their flying and sitting on clouds. They were tumbling around, tripping over each other and landing on clouds. They were laughing and rolling around. I remembered the feeling of freedom from my first year, that feeling when I just learned how to master the basics to flying. I thought about Abhik and how he had always been such a wonderful friend to me. I missed surfing on clouds with him and I wondered if I would ever feel that kind of freedom again?

The thought made me pull away from the window towards my dresser. I opened the drawer and took out the mirror I had gotten from Mick on our wedding day. I looked in it and couldn't believe what I saw. Mick was right, I thought with a gasp. I looked horrible. Like I was completely worn out. I reached up and touched my cheeks. I didn't understand this at all. I had been told that our bodies and appearances didn't change. How come mine did? Was it because of the pregnancy? My cheeks were sunken, my eyes were reddish and I looked exhausted. Maybe it had been too much after all? Maybe I had taken on too much?

"Are you there?" I whispered as to see if I could get my reflection to talk to me again. I felt bad about myself. I hated that I was looking like this, I hated that I was such an emotional mess. I had been so unstable lately, I thought. I couldn't get my thoughts straightened out properly. It was all just in there, one big chaos and confusion. I had no idea if I trusted Mick enough to stay with him, or if I even had the courage to leave? Would he ever leave me alone if I did? I knew he'd pursue me persistently. I knew he wouldn't let me go easily. Did I want the fight? Was it worth it? And what if I stayed? Would I just get the life that Abhik's sister had? Would I be able to live with a man that constantly wanted to know where I was and who I was with? Would he be able to control his anger and jealousy?

"I'm here," sang the voice from the mirror.

I smiled. There was something so alluring about talking to myself in this way that I truly enjoyed. It was like talking to your own conscience.
