The Mirrors
Prologue: Beliefs
"I don't believe it." She set the mirror down and traced the brass embroidering.
"Annette, you've got to believe me. I have never lied to you, ever." He knew it had been a mistake to tell her. Annette was too set in her beliefs, intractable as a bull.
She turned around before replying. "I know, which is why I'm so baffled as to why you could ever ask such a thing. What you're asking me to believe is more than I could ever comprehend." She was now looking him dead in the eye.
"You're absolutely right. It's just another one of my crazy dreams. I don't really believe it, I'm just so in love with you." He walked over to her and stroked her long, ebony hair.
"Don't touch me, you liar." She smacked his hand back. "Now you're starting to make me not believe in you."
He wanted to make her believe that he wasn't convinced, but he did believe it was true. No, he knew it was true. "There are many things that we don't agree on and it has never caused a problem before. We've never even fought, why start now?"
"I don't know you anymore, just leave me alone. I need to think about whether or not I want to marry a madcap" With that she rushed from the room, car keys in hand.
"Annette, come back! You can't drive in this weather!" Now she was acting like the crazy.
"Don't you dare follow me." She slammed the car door behind her.
"I can't believe this." He muttered under his breath and climbed into the back seat before she could drive off.
"Annette, speak to me. You can't get rid of me now, tell me what you're thinking."
"Weren't you the one who said the weather conditions were bad? Why do you speak to me while I'm driving?" She spoke to him as if she was a cab driver driving an insatiable customer. He said nothing in reply.
The lightened cracked and even more rain began to pour. He had no idea where she would go. As long it wasn't the path to the church, she could manage. With all the sharp bends and up hills, an accident was bound to happen. She took a turn on the back street and he knew exactly where she was headed.
"This is a hard road to drive even in the daylight. Annette, don't do this, you'll get us both killed!" As if on cue, she lost control of the car. The vehicle hit a nearby tree. With a silent boom, it went up in flames.

D-n-L is back with a new story! And my own soda, lol, J/K. It's been a while since I've even THOUGHT about writing. My other story wasn't going where I wanted it to. It sounded so much better in my head, but when I started typing, it was just blah. I also noticed my writing skills are better when I write in the third person rather than the first. So let's hope this story works out. And before I start to receive multiple e-mails about it like in Charade, this IS a Jin/Xiao story. Take care and be sure to review!
