Serenity was gone.

Where did she and Doctor Serantro go? I am sure I wasn't away for that long, and it didn't seem to be the case....but I did not factor in that the other world runs on a different time than our world. This wasn't suppose to happen, I should have been there. I could of defended her, or at least put up a great fight! Mom and dad would be so disappointed right now because, I failed. What kind of a big sister am I?

I was mortified of what I was experiencing, but I need to check to see if, perhaps our doctor hid themselves or my sister somewhere else in our house. I could barely move, the blood was so intoxicating, but I needed to find my inner strength, to try and find my sister.

Little by little I went into ever room, looked over every nook and cranny, and even the secret little hideaways we used when we were younger. Yet, there was no sign of either of them. I panicked and called my doctors personal cell, perhaps if ai am lucky he would pick up.

I waited a few rings, hoping he would be on the other line, but no answer.

I searched outside the house and in the yard, but they were nowhere in sight.

Shit.

I let my sister slip right from my hands; I was suppose to keep her safe. Fuck me. I needed to keep her protected and now she's gone. Who could have done this, why take my sister! I wonder if the guy who kept invading my mind is the one to blame. It seems like the only logical explication.

I became light headed and fell to my knees.What the fuck is going on?

Then a thought struck me, it could possibly be the guy invading my head but what if it was the killer who murdered our parents.Perhaps they want to kill us too? I mean it would make a lot of sense, but no. No, I can't. No, I will not think that the one who took her was the killer. I think he would have waited for me and end us right there and then.

Then the smell of the blood, started to linger to downstairs and I collapsed onto the side of our barstools in our kitchen. I stood up after a few minutes; I need to try to keep it together, but my body is starting to break down.

A very peculiar feeling started to stir in the pit of my stomach and I only felt like this twice in my life. The time I had beat up this kid, for picking on my sister and watching him fall onto a metal playground bar and cracked open his head. You could just imagine the blood everywhere and his deafening scream. Then just recently, when I found my teacher and his blood all smothered over his car.

I hate thinking back to those times. I wish I did not have hemophobia, but my parents always told me that my great grandmother had the same fear and that I must have inherited the same fear.

I couldn't get the smell of the blood out of my nose and and out of nowhere there was another trace of blood lingering from another part of the house. I tried to trace it, but I couldn't pin point the exact location. I was bothered because, there was blood from my sister's room, but why was there another scent coming from somewhere else in the house?

I scurry into the bathroom and lock myself in. I broke down into tears, while I laid on the floor in the fettle position. I wish my parents were here and ai wish everything would go back to normal and that both me and my sister were in school and just living our day to day lives.

All of a sudden my head spun around and my eyes became very sensitive to the bathroom's light. What the hell is going on with me, and why is everything starting to spin.

All of a sudden I hear Elliot's voice call to me,

"Crystal, Crystal, get up and whatever you do, try to control it and under no circumstance do not fall asleep!"

It was Elliot's voice and I was so relieved, but I couldn't stand up straight, my heart was beating faster than usual.

"Crystal, listen to me, if you fall asleep they will find you too. Please get up and go through the mirror!"

Who will find me? Who are "they." what is happening to me.

I can't move. My body feels so heavy. Why can't he just come through the mirror and carry me. Carry me like a princess up the stairs. I can just see it now, I am wearing an elegant red dress flowing down to the floor, and Elliot carrying me and showing me off to the world. Oh I wish I could be that version of me.

I laid there on the floor trying to gain energy, it was extremely difficult and I could feel my insides working overtime. It was like shooting pain throughout my body, every limb felt like bricks, the pain was truly agonizing.

Slowly, I get up and sluggishly reached up to the sink and I saw that my senses were becoming heightened. Then my body began changing, what I mean by changing, literally, more hair growth everywhere. My nails became longer and more sharper; elegant though, and my ears, they grew pointy.

"What is happening to me? I-I don't understand! Elliot, please help me!" I panicked.

"Crystal do no panic, the more you panic the faster you'll transform." Elliot called out.

Humph. Transform?

"What do you mean I'll transform? What is this, I don't get it!? What am I transforming into? I asked, still panicking and could barely open my eyes, but enough to see what was coming of me.

My face began turning into an animal; I was turning into a fucking animal! What the actual fuck. This has never happened to me before.

"There's not much time; I can't explain to you Crystal. You just have to trust me on this one and go through the fucking mirrior." Elliot pleaded.

Is he for real yelling at me? I am turning into a fucking animal!

"Trust you? I wouldn't be in this mess, if it weren't for you! I wish I never met you. Now, I have lost my sister and family friend, Doctor Serantro. Not to mention, what's happening to me right now. I don't know how I can trust you."

It's true, he's basically a stranger.

I continued to exhaust my voice, but I had to say this to him,

"You came into my life and this is where it got me. So, no, I can't trust you. I just wanted to be a normal girl and I was almost 18 and graduated. Once finished school, I would of continued to look after my sister while she went to school as she would only have 2 years left. As well as tracking down the last whereabouts of my mother and father. I have had many detectives on the case and I wouldn't stop until I found out what happened to them."

Elliot sighed, I know he meant well, but I could tell he was frustrated with me.

"All of your answers will be answered once you are with me Crystal. Please just do as your told right now. Time is at its essence, and you have no more time to waste."

I was beefed, but this pain was nothing I have ever encountered before.

I faced the mirror and looked at myself. My eyes were blood shot red, no longer ice-blue and brown. My smile fading and everything that meant so much to me slipped through my fingers like sand.

"Crystal, I am sorry you cannot trust me, I can't force you too, but for right now, for fuck sakes could you just listen to me and go through the mirror. I will explain everything to you once you cross over here, but the more you resist the more worse you'll become, plus you'll be captured if you stay there. Please Crystal. If you transform, they will be able to locate you. So, hurry the fuck up and cross though the god-damn mirror. "

Just as I headed into the mirror, I felt my body fully transform. It was like nothing I have ever felt in my entire life; it hurt like a bitch. Like fire burning your skin, until it was completely off and a sensation of unbearable pain coursing through your veins.

It was horrifying and I could feel the endless falling, even if it felt like I was forever falling, only a minute passed and I felt something warm. Elliot must have caught me and wrapped me up in a blanket I presume, and I fell unconscious.
