Dark forest mirror

Chapter one

In a small town where everyone knew everyone a small family was moving to a large house on the outskirts of town. Two little girls were running around dodging all the movers. The brunette was running ahead of the younger girl, the girl had unruly shoulder length hair with bright brown eyes. She was about eight years old as her younger sister has curly short brown hair with big blue eyes. She kept on tripping on her dress up princess dress. The girls finally made it in their house running up their stair case into a large bedroom that had great view of the forest behind the house.

"I want this room!" The little brunette exclaimed.

"But...I wanted this room..." The little blond pouted.

"Hey Dawn look at the room next to mine that one looks soo cool!" The brunette exclaimed running to the other room.

"Oh..,really?" Dawn walked into the room which was about the same size. But it had a big walk-in closet. Her eyes grew as big as saucers. "I want this one Marianne!"

"Look Dawn your boxes are in here." Marianne pointed at the few boxes in there.

"I'm going to unpack now!" Dawn exclaimed starting to open boxes. Marianne stepped out of room bumping into her father and the movers. They were carrying a large heavy item that had a sheet over.

"Where do you want this at sir?" One of the movers grunted. Her father pointed to Marianne's room.

"Ohhh what is it..what are you putting in my room daddy?" Marianne asked fallowing them into her room. They placed the item next to the window. The movers pulled the cover off and reviled a old wooden full body mirror. It had gravings of old vines and small pink purple flowers.

"Well my princess what do you think? Your very own mirror." Her dad ruffled her hair as she stared at it.

"Thank you daddy i love it thank you." She beamed as she ran her fingers ran over the wood. The adults left the room and closed the door as she turned around to start unpacking. She heard a noise like someone had snorted or mad a keh noise. Turning around slowly she didn't see anyone, then she turned back around to the box then she heard what seemed like a boys voice.

"Ugg not another snobby princess." The voice said. Spinning around eyes widen in fear there still wasn't anyone there. She scanned the room her eyes settled on the full length mirror. Getting up slowly she walked over mirror.

"H..hello? Someone there?" She called out. She reached over and grabbed her big plastic red bat ready to pummel someone. "Come out i know you're here." She turned to the side looking under her bed then something moved from the corner of her eye, pulling the bat back about to strike she spun on her heel to come face to face with a teen boy standing in her mirror. He stood about half the length of the mirror. He had big shoulder the made his head look smaller, his face was skinny his eyes were bright blue his nose was pointy like a witch's nose. His body was off portioned skinny body big shoulders it seemed like he would have fallen over if it wasn't for the old staff he was leaning against the was a foot or two taller then him.

"Ahhhhh! Marianne exclaimed hitting the mirror with a 'poyng' repeatedly and fell onto her butt. The boy grabbed his head expecting to get hit but nothing happened.

"Wait...you can actually see me?" The boy asked eyes widen.

"D..d...d..daddy..."

"No..no don't shhh."

"DADDY!" Marianne screamed. Making the boy grab his head in pain. The door slammed open her dad panting heavily. "Daddy there's a boy in my mirror!" Her dad gave her a weird look then looked at the mirror. There wasn't a boy there but when she looked there was a boy standing there eyes widen looking back at her then back at her dad.

"There is nothing there Marianne, your just imagining it." He walked back out closing the door. Marianne glared back at the boy.

"How is it my dad couldn't see you but I can't." She said standing up putting her hands on her hips.

"How would i know I've been in the dark for as long as i can remember this is the first time i have seen this world."

Marianne walked up to the mirror trying to look around him. She could see a few lights and a bed behind him. He looked down at her then looked at her room. It looked like he hasn't seen the sun in months.

"M..my name is Marianne...what's your name?" She asked stepping back putting the bat down.

"My name is The Bog King." He pounded his chest with one hand.

"Bog? King? You look young to be a King? How old are you?"

"I'm eighteen, i just got kinged today, and you? You look pretty young for a princess." He looked her over.

"I'm eight, and I'm not a real princess thats just what my dad calls my sister and i." She put her arms behind her back blushing lightly. She turned her head away hearing her father call her down for dinner. "Oh thats my dad i have to go." She turned around walking to the door. She turned around seeing him look kinda sad. "Don't worry i will be back." She smiled as she saw him smile lightly. A hour or two went past and she returned rubbing her tummy with a very satisfied smile on her face.

"Was supper good?" Teen Bog asked.

"Yes it was good we had pizza...mmmm."

"Pizza?"

"Yes pizza don't you have pizza in your world?" Marianne asked grabbing her night gown hiding behind a box to change then came back. Bog shook his head slightly. "Its very yummy. Hey Bog?"

"Hmm?" He looked at her as she snuggled in her bed.

"I...know we just met...but can you make sure no bad guys get me?" She asked eyeing the closet. Bog smiled and shook his head.

"Yes...i will protect you, my princess." Getting comfortable himself leaning against a wall.

"I told you before...'yawn' i am not a princess...goodnight Bog..." Marianne fell asleep.

"Goodnight...Marianne."

Years passed and this went on she would come home and tell Bog about her day and they would talk hours on end. But good things do come to a end. Marianne had grown up to a teenager and she could not see Bog anymore. No matter what Bog did, she couldn't see and or hear him. He just watched over her like he always did. Then the big thing happened. Marianne found herself a boyfriend. Bog knew something was off about this. He growled low raking his long nails on mirror. This caught the attention of boyfriend name Roland.

"What was that?" Roland stood up walking up to the mirror.

"Probably a branch scraping against the house." Marianne said. Oh yeah and this branch growls more as Roland walked closer eyeing himself twirling his hair in his fingers.

"So Marianne...buttercup..."he turned around going onto one knee proposing to her. She screamed and said yes.

"Bogs eyes looked hurt as he put his hand on the window dragging it down and walked away never to come back to the mirror again.

Years at passed again Bog kept looking at that mirror then looked away knowing he couldn't do anything. Then he heard a woman's voice. A angry voice at that. He got up and walked to the mirror seeing there was boxes again.

'Not a new family no...were did Marianne go?' He thought to himself. Then his eyes widened. There stood Marianne all grownup, she had the same unruly hair and everything. She was just much older and she was yelling into her cellphone.

"I don't care Roland you cheated on me ON MY WEDDING day and you think i should seriously forgive you? Think again!" She clicked that phone shut. Huffing and huffing she threw her phone on her bed tears streaming down her cheeks. "I...i was such a fool...to fall in love with that son of a-"

"Woh woh woh...calm down Marianne." Bog called out holding his hand out i front of him. Marianne stilled then slowly turned around looking at the mirror with him standing there.

"Wait...you can see me?"
