Chapter 17: Sandra's Bathroom Mirror Is Sick

Sandra has been through a lot. While leaving through her bathroom mirror, the two sister witches were playing with a Ouija game board in Sandra's bathroom at her home in Supernaturalville. They had communicated with the ghost boy locked inside Sandra's mirror and brought her out of the cruel world somewhere at the Better Place. 

The annoying little ghost boy pushed and pulled hold of Sandra through her haunted bathroom mirror. The sister witches watched and laughed as they couldn't be happier seeing Sandra back where she belongs. 

"I told you sister she would get through to us if we communicated with the dead!" said Gene, as they watched Sandra fly across the side of the closed bathroom door with a hard thud. They turned their attention back to the ghost boy in the mirror who seemed not in a good mood about calling about him to control Sandra.

"We will make sure you are rewarded for our instructions," Cookie the other witch said. Sandra slowly started waking up beside the bathroom door. Where she was dizzy and felt light headed. The two sister witches went over to comfort Sandra, who was very woozy.

"Dear, you need to help us communicate with your dead friend to let out the ghosts in the mirror beyond hiding in the Better Place, okay?" Gene told Sandra. Who was still dizzy and was out of breath.

Finally, Sandra opened her eyes and stared at the ugly, green-faced sister witches with wide-eyed and fear she could no longer handle by herself. She opened her mouth and screamed at the two sister witches.

"You two aren't supposed to be here!" Sandra screamed, finally finding her voice. "This is my house! I don't have a connection with any dead person pretending to be my friend. There is no world where ghosts want to be alive again," Sandra explained, breathing heavily and trying to keep from shivering with fear and anxiety out of control.

While arguing with the two sister witches, they continued fighting over who gets to use the Ouija game board, first. Unexpectedly, Sandra angrily snatched the game board out of their reach. And tossed it down the toilet. Even though it got stuck, Sandra tried flushing it down her toilet. Only getting it clogged up and getting the game board ruined.

"Now the magic is gone, Sandra!" cried Gene, who couldn't believe Sandra just destroyed their only way of communication with the living dead. "Was that necessary?" Gene asked. She walked over to the toilet and tried to get the soaking wet game board out of it. Before Sandra caused the game board to clog up the pipes.

"We know you don't believe in the supernatural occult of the undead living," Cookie said. She grabbed a red bath towel off the rack next to Sandra's shower. She helped Gene dry off the wet Ouijua game board. "You must beware of this ghost boy you see in your bathroom mirror who wants to prove you he's real. And wants to be your prince and partner. But he doesn't know he's upsetting the undead living world from putting them to rest," Cookie said. She put the red bath towel back on the towel rack, beside Sandra's shower and dried off her hands with it.

"You must believe us when we say, you don't belong with the ghost boy living with you in your bathroom mirror, Sandra!" Gene explained. Taking hold of the Ouija game board, she handed it to her sister. "He wants to make you undead and make him your princess," Gene said. 

Suddenly, the bathroom lights started flickering on and off. "You guys got to get out of here," Sandra insisted. "Before my folks discover I had company over who aren't really my friends," she said.

Laughing, Gene and Cookie gathered around the Ouija game board on the floor of Sandra's bathroom. They both had their hands on the pointer of the game board. Sandra watched with fascination as the pointer on their hands was moving quickly all over the letter on the board! It was going too fast for them to pay any attention to! 

Then, Sandra's bathroom door swung open! Turning on the lights, Sandra's parents appeared before them. They ducked and gasped with fright as the pointer on the Ouija game board flew past Mr. and Mrs. Starbright's heads! It shattered a vase in the hall.

"What is the meaning of this?" Mr. Starbright asked, holding his wife's hand and getting furious over Sandra's company who was invited over without their permission. Before the two witches could introduce themselves, they turned to Sandra's mirror. Hearing the ghost of the young boy turned his attention to make himself believable to their interests.

"Freddy!" Sandra said, recognized the ghost boy in her bathroom mirror. He looked pale and more worried than usual. "You have to take me away from my family!" Sandra insisted, pressing her face against the cold, glass window of her mirror. "They don't believe me about you and our love will grow strong everyday," Sandra promised.

"Soon, my love of my life," Freddy the ghost boy in Sandra's bathroom mirror, said. "First, you must know there are dark and evil forces happening in the Better Place. Where you might feel welcomed or accepted into my world beyond this prison you call your bathroom," Freddy said. Then, he disappeared again from the mirror. 

Sandra gasped and screamed. She pounded her fists angrily on the bathroom wall, beside the mirror. Now, only she could see her reflection staring back at her in a wild expression. Her parents in the background looked embarrassed at her daughter, acting inappropriately. 

"Why does he keep disappearing?" Sandra turned around and asked the two sister witches, who were busy ignoring what was happening. They gathered around the Ouija game board and they had retrieved the pointer game piece from out in the wall, where it went crazy at everybody. 

"Sweetheart," Mrs. Starbright chimed in. "You experienced a hallucination," she explained, walking over to comfort her daughter. "There's nobody living in your bathroom mirror. It's all just trick of your imagination, that's all," Mrs. Starbright continued.

Sandra couldn't believe her parents would disapprove of her imaginary friend living inside of her own bathroom mirror. But he only seems to visit Sandra when something is important happening where he is coming from.

"According to the spirits in the Ouija game board," Gene began explaining. "There is a Ghost Howler stalking the Better Place. Where your ghost friend is hanging out at night. It seems a dangerous connection to communicate with the living dead. Because the Ghost Howler doesn't want Freddy, you or anybody to be at peace with themselves," Gene said.

Turning her attention to the two sister witches, who were still playing the Ouija board, wanted them to tell Sandra more about this hideous Ghost Howler ruining everybody's lives. "What can we do to make this Ghost Howler creature go away? And never bother anybody ever again?" Sandra asked both of the witches.

"Not impossible to do so, Miss Starbright!" exclaimed Cookie, who was busy controlling the pointer over the game board. "You mustn't disturb the deadly Ghost Howler. It only makes itself believable to somebody who isn't real. And has a close relationship with somebody who knows how to be alive with the person again," Cookie said. 

"Sandra, darling," Mr. Starbright interrupted them. "But I don't think your Mom and I gave you permission to have a slumber party tonight," he said, with a worried expression. Mr. Starbright kept watching the witches as they played with the pointer on the game board, moving around the game board in a fast non-stop paced motion.

Sandra turned back to look at her bathroom mirror. "Please come back," Sandra cried. "Freddy watch out for yourselves," she told, mostly herself outloud.

Suddenly, Mrs. Starbright laughed nervously. "Sandra, I think you are sick. Should we take you to visit Dr. Freedom soon?" she wondered.

"But you don't understand!" Sandra tried explaining to her worried parents. "I'm not imagining this boy who lives in my bathroom mirror! He only lets me come to him when nobody is around!" Sandra said, not taking her eyes off her fearstricken looks in her bathroom mirror.

Mr. Starbright walks over to comfort his daughter. He slowly opens the bathroom cabinet, and reveals a spot where Sandra keeps her bathroom necessities. And her medications in a medical bottle with a label of her medicines she's supposed to be taking every night.

Shaking, Sandra drops her pills in her hand. And watches them go down the drain. "I'm not sick! I believe a boy in my bathroom mirror wants me to be his princess. Why can't you help me get him to believe you all?" Sandra asked, impatiently. 

Before they could do anything to protect themselves, Freddy appeared in the mirror! And he was screaming to be released out of the bathroom mirror! She had to run away from him!
