keeping together is progress;

working together is success.”

The two girls were expecting answers out of Nora.

But Nora had none. Nora could tell that they were waiting for a better answer. Not just her name. But that’s all she was able to tell them.

“Okay, Nora. What are you doing here? Are you in the mirror?”, the blonde one asked.

Again, relief washed over Nora, as she was able to open her mouth and speak, “I’m actually not sure what I am doing here. And am I in the mirror? What do you mean? How does it look out there for you guys?”

The blonde girl’s eyebrows knotted up in confusion. “Well from out here it looks like you were inside the actual mirror. What is it like in there?”, she questioned.

What was this? An interrogatory?

Nora felt this need to answer her question and she wasn’t sure why. Almost like if they were the master and Nora was the puppet. Like if Nora had to do whatever they told her to and answer whatever they wanted to be answered.

But Nora ignored the need, and instead of answering, she used her ability to speak at the moment to ask a question of her own.

“Before I keep answering your questions- I don’t even know who you guys are”.

The little one’s eyes lit up and she took the lead. “Oh, that’s right. Where are our manners? Well my name is Noelle and her name is Marie”, her brown curls bounced as she talked.

“Marie and Noelle”, Nora repeated. Just processing the names.

“Okay, now you answer my question. What do you see in there?”, the one called Marie asked Nora, again in that rude tone. Nora wasn’t sure she liked this Marie. She liked Noelle much better.

At first, Nora wanted to respond in the same rude tone or come up with some sassy comeback, but she realized that it wouldn’t be a smart idea. Nora needed help and if those two girls left her, she would probably never have another chance like this. So even if this Marie was rude, Nora would just have to kill her with kindness.

“Well, all I can see in here is a room. I’m inside a room but there’s no doors or windows. Or any way out”, Nora explained.

“So, it’s just a room without anything inside?”, Marie asked, confused.

“Well it has a chair- it’s very old looking but it’s actually pretty comfy. And there are pictures on the walls. But I don’t know of who. All of the faces in the pictures were scratched off”, Nora looked around making sure she didn’t miss anything.

“Oh, and a mirror, of course. Which is how I’m seeing you guys”, Nora finished, trying to sound as friendly as possible.

“So, to you, it looks like we are the ones in a mirror?”, Marie asked.

“Yes, to me it looks like you two are the ones in the mirror”

The two girls started muttering to themselves, leaving Nora out. Making her feel quite awkward. Nora wanted to ask what was out there and how they had gotten here.
