As Cassie fell into the mirror of rooms, landing on a bed that was in the middle of the room. The full room was covered in mirrors some tall and some short. Some were like the fun house mirrors but others had cracks or scratched up. Like some creature was trying to escape. Cassie got up from the bed and looked around as she was surrendered by mirrors and even seen some seem to have a glow when she looked at them. It was scary but she felt like there were all eyes on her. Cassie looks around as she hears a low melody being played and notices it was coming from a mirror. But the reflection was her all disfigured, playing an instrument. She begins to panic and falls backwards towards another mirror. She heard growls and looks behind her seeing her with fangs in her mouth and ears on her head. Cassie gulps as the reflection turns into a monster and screams. She gets up and runs away from that mirror but stops as she sees another reflection but it's herself. She sighs in relief as she notices her friends but it was a different version of them. Her eyes widen when she sees a knife in their hands and they attack her. Cassie was frozen with fear as she watch herself get stabbed. She felt tears in her eyes as she seen that and wishes she wasn't in this room.
Cassie had decided to try and sleep but hearing screams and scratching in the room was very disturbing and hard to sleep. Spook had watched her in his office feeling a bit bad but chuckling as the sounds were too creepy and very distracting. He kept an eye on her just to see if she will be alright but closes his eyes and falls asleep to the sounds of soft humming. Cassie softly hums to herself to calm down and couldn't wait til morning. She ends up falling asleep after the screaming had stop but the scratching was softly disappearing. Cassie thought she was dreaming since she was isolated from her friends and felt so alone she seen herself.
"You know you're always a pussy. You see yourself protecting others but you can't protect yourself! What are you going to do if you find love?" Cassie growls as this was negativity towards herself and she says with an evil grin, "Then I'll kill the monsters in my head and see how life goes after. You're not real! You're a fucking thought that is negative towards me!" Her true side smiles and turns into Ren. Cassie gulps as she sees Ren and asks, "What is this? Are you trying to make me hate my friends!" Seeing Rens face and a smile that was crooked with fangs. He says softly, "You're dreaming! Wake up Cassie! You go insane, we can't save you! Get up!" Cassie wakes up from the dream and sits up as she looks around. She sighs softly hoping it was over but she was still in the room but heard silence. Cassie looks up as there were eyes glowing bright yellow. There was a voice from the Shadow figure coming from the mirror, "You've survived this long. Go back to sleep. I'll protect you from the others. Trust me hun, you'll thank me later. Sleep."
Cassie gulps slightly as she lays back down and stares at the ceiling. A slight humming came from the figure and it made her eyes get heavy, as she felt sleepy. She falls asleep but after awhile gets woken up by a mirror being broken. She looks around seeing a figure appear from the mirror. Cassie gulps as asks, "Who are you? Why did you break the mirror? You're the shadow aren't you? Don't kill me." The figure spoke with gently words and tells her, "Relax my dear. I'm not really a shadow and I broke a door window not a mirror. Do you realize it's morning? You slept the whole night just having a few nightmares and crying your eyes out." Cassie tilts her head as a light turns on and it was Lou smiling. Cassie gets up and hugs him tightly as she was so scared and says softly, "I can't believe I made it. How did you know I had nightmares?" Lou smiles as he hugs her back and says softly, "We all kinda stayed up and heard muffled screams and Echo was to find the room without getting caught. I went to the door myself. I stayed up til the sun came out. Everything is okay." Cassie smiles and nods as she hears his soft words. Spook had appeared by the doorway and smiles as he says, "Ahh! You are awake. I'm so proud of you to survive. Now cute moments are over, get out before I lock you both in here. Lou let's go of Cassie and walks out of the room with Cassie following behind. Spook smiles and grabs Cassie lifting her off the ground. He pulls her closer to him and says in a harsh tone, "Since your survived, tonight, you pick someone new to be my next victim. You impressed me by sleeping through the night but next time you won't be so lucky. Be a good girl and pick someone for tonight."
Cassie was shocked and gulps as he gave her that compliment as a threat. She couldn't think anyone on the spot but just says randomly, "I don't think that's a good idea. They could kill me if I picked them." Spook laughs and helds his grip on her tightly and says, "Lou will be my victim then. You will learn to never trust your friends here. If you disagree then I'll make sure you'll be here forever." Lou looks at him and glares saying, "I'm your next victim for the mirror room? You better eat your words next time you ask us to pick someone else from our friendship."
Spook glares and snaps fingers as a mirror appears in front of Lou and drops Cassie in the magical mirror. He says softly, "She'll have to wait to be saved. Cassie, you're too good to be saved. I'll keep you awhile." Lou shouts, "Cassie! Cassie! Cassie?!" Cassie actually screamed to where she woke up again from a nightmare and Spook was standing in the door way waking her up. She gets off the bed and looks up seeing him. She backs up a bit until he says softly, "Good morning. You look like you seen a ghost. You ignored my first alarm so I called your name."
She sighs softly and says, "Yeah I'm fine. I- I swear I had a dream Lou came in and you trapped me in a mirror and I was stuck forever. You were going to have me pick who was next and I thought I was going to die."
Spook raises his eyebrows and says softly, "Hun that was your first night. I wouldn't ever ask you to pick someone else. That's my choice. You must be so scared from those mirrors. Come on hun, let's go to the meeting hall. Your friends were a bit worried." Cassie nods as he leads her to the meeting hall. Ren smiles seeing her and Echo gets up and hugs her tightly as she says, "Thank God, you're okay. Did you have any trouble." Cassie hugs back and just says, "Just had scary dreams. I'll be fine." Spook smiles as he says, "Today you all will be eating breakfast then later I have a challenge for all of you. I'll leave you alone for now but later, I'll be seeing you all." He disappears and sighs softly as he sits in his office thinking. They were all shocked about him being so nice this morning, maybe because there was something going on today that was for a surprise. They will soon realize some days he will be smiling because of what day it is. They will soon realize today was a new start and was a celebration of his reality world! They will soon learn how times are tough but other days are harder than others.
