"Awe look, its baby Joshieee" I said in a high pitched voice. Josh came over to me and looked down at the picture book "man was I a babe back than or what" I rolled my eyes at his cockiness. "Dude come on you were like four in this picture" he scuffed "please I was blessed with natural good looks…Something you're clearly lacking" I rolled my eyes at him "ass hole" I mumbled to myself as I placed the book on top of the box next to me.
I stood up and walked across the attic floor where our youngest sister Wendi sat playing with her dolls. "Look bearawly it's you" she said holding up one of her dolls. I laughed at how she pronounced my name.
"Dude guys so I was watching Fairy Tail and like omg Grey is so freakin hot! I totally ship him with me" We all turned around to see our other sister Nora or as we all call her Nerdy Nora coming up the stairs ranting about how sexy this anime character is. "You're wasting your time watching these stupid shows Nora shouldn't you be preparing for your History test on Monday?" Josh said flipping through a book. "I got time it's only an hour past noon."
"Oh leave her alone Josh we don't call her Nerdy Nora for no reason." I said matterafactly as I walked over to a long length mirror that Joshua stood by "move over rover" I said booty bumping him "No." he said pushing me to the side causing me to fall on top of a box "HEY! Come on let me take a selfie!" I stood back next to him fixing my hair. "It's just-" I stopped all of a sudden as I saw the glass in the mirror…move?
"D-did you see that josh the mirror i-it moved the glass moved?!"
"What?! nuh-huh" Nora said in disbelief as she came over to me.
"child where are your glasses?" Josh said behind us.
"I'm not being delusional Joshua, I saw it with my own eyes LOOK!" I pointed as the mirror once again rippled.
"Oh my jellyfish the mirror moved!" Nora yelled Josh quickly slapped a hand over her mouth
"shut it Nora if mom hears us she'll think we've lost our heads"
"Moms not home stupid." Nora shot back "she went somewhere I think the store or something I don't know."
I folded my arms over my chest in a sassy matter "well what do you say for yourself" I waited for his apologies to come or at least something. But of course being the eldest of us all his stubbornness got in the way once again. "Not now Beverly." I throw my hands up in the air in defeat. "Whoa look!" I turn back to see Josh press his hand go into the glass. He pulled it out and examined it. "EHHH!" Nora squealed causing us to jump in surprise. "What if this is like one of those portals to another dimension!? OMG! What if I get to meet Kaname from Vampire Knight!?" She said with a twinkle in her eye.
I sweat drop "I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon Nora, this could be all an illusion."
She rolled her eyes "ya whatever Beverly" she said in a annoyed tone.
"She's right you know Nora your stupid animes aren't real and you need to realize that." Josh said looking at her.
"Anime is not stupid you're the stupid one! You have no right to call something I enjoy doing stupid!" she shot back in anger.
"You and your ridiculous anime fantasies have to come to an end." Joshua yelled "All you do is waist time up in your room and watched those annoying shows every day. Gosh, get a life Nora." He started to get aggressive with her and pushed her into the mirror.
"NORA!" I yelled running up to the mirror "WHAT THE FUCK JOSHUA!" I pushed him into a box. As if to make the situation any worse Wendi started to cry. "I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to!" He stuttered I could of sworn he was about to cry
"She could be dead for all we know! You really need to know how to be less aggressive when it comes to these things Joshua good Lord!" I I tug on my hair and look in the mirror.
"We need to go after her Josh. We need to go in there and get her." I started to pace around the small room. "God knows what's happening to her right now!" I walk over to Wendi and pick her up along with her doll.
I walk back up to the mirror "well… It's now or never" I said I look over to Josh "you first." He nods and slowly approaches the mirror.
He moves in slowly
First his left hand
Then his other
Now half his body is in
And with one last glace towards me he disappears into the mirror.
I let out a shaky breath doing the same.
Bright lights flash before my eyes before it goes dim.
Monday 09-19-1887 10:15pm
I look down at Wendi who has her face buried deep in my neck. I look around to see houses around me and street lamps with what looks like fire inside of them. How strange I thought I looked up at the night sky. Wasn't it day light just a minute ago? I wonder as I look at the dazzling stars.
"BEVERLY GET OUT OF THE WAY!" I look behind me to see a horse running towards me. Joshua tackles me to the side of the cobble road as the carriage flies by. Wait a carriage! "Tell me that wasn't what I thought it was" Josh said catching his breath I look down Wendi laying under me with wide eyes
"are you okay" I ask her pulling her up into my lap a few scratches on her arm maybe a few bruises in the morning but nothing serious.
"Dude I think we traveled back in time just like Nora said we might do." I nod my head slowly taking in my surrounding than it dawned on me
Wait where is Nora?
"AHHH!" both me Josh turn to each other "Nora!" we say in unison. We get up to our feet I hold Wendi on my waist tightly as we run towards the well-known scream.
We stop in front of an alley way to see Nora and three other thugs trying to corner her. We hide behind a few crates "shit!" Joshua silently curses "what are we going to do?" I place Wendi down on the ground "be very quiet okay?" I whisper to her sweetly she puts her finger to her lip and shushes me. I smile and turned back to josh.
"We need to save her." He gave me a knowingly look "nooo really?" I rolled my eyes. I look around and find a small stone sitting not too far away from us "I have an idea." I said as I reach for the rock next I stand up and move away from our hiding stop.
"HEY IDIOTS!" I yell throwing the rock at one of their heads. They all turn Nora looks at me with fear and relief. "Bravo Beverly now they're going to kill all four of us." Josh hisses next to me. I gulp has reality hits me hard in the face "aye guys look at this pretty little thing." Thug one says as he walk towards me. "Don't worry little girly we won't hurt you we only want to show you a good time." All of them laughed as I back away in fear.
I look over towards Nora as she creped behind one of them and bashed him on the head with a wooden plank. I gasp covering my mouth as he falls to the floor. The other two turn around
"You little bitch."
"Run Nora!" I yell with her small body size and quick speed Nora slips past them and stands next to me. "Awe look the little one is scared." He forms his hands into fits "I think it's time to teach 'em some respect. Aye Ernie?"
"Joshua…?" I said grabbing Nora's hand and backing away from the alley. I look over to see him pick up Wendi. "Where ya goin' love? We aint done with you yet"
Suddenly I feel hands gripping my throat "Beverly!" Nora cry's as I was lifted off the ground "you bastard" I spit in his face bad idea. His grip tightened around me "you're going to pay for that." He says throwing me hard onto the ground.
I groan in pain as I roll over onto my back. "Is that all you got" I said standing up using the crates for support. I clutch my side as I looked up to him. I could feel his anger radiating off of him. He charges at me this time I was prepared. I side kicked him in the chest making him tumble back.
"I could use some help here guys!" I called out as the one called Ernie stampers back at me with thug number one at his side.
"The girl has moves Jim." He says rubbing his chest. "Let's show her what we can do aye?"
Jim comes at me with fists in the air ready to strike. I quickly grab a crate and shield myself with it as his punch breaks the wood causing splinters to fly around us. Jim got close to my face his ragged breath was filled with fury and hatred. "Ahgah!" I turn to see Ernie grabbing Nora by the hair and fling her into a boy and a tall man.
"Young master!"
"Nora"
We both yelled
"Not so fast princess I'm not done with you yet." He grabbed me and once again throws me far into the alley way causing me to hit my head on the alley wall.
"Beverley!" Josh cried as he ran towards my falling on his knees. "Are you okay?" his hand went behind my head "Your bleeding!" he said pulling his hand away. "I'm so sorry this is all of my fault Bev. I shouldn't have pushed Nora into the mirror. I'm so so sorry Beverley." I look at him as tears fall down his face. "Hey we're family. It's as much your fault as it is mine and Nora's. Curiosity got the best of us." I place a shaky hand on his wet cheek.
"Awe how sweet." Jim said as he walked towards us with a metal pipe in one hand "Now I can kill two birds with one stone." Josh covered me protecting me with his body I shook in fear squeezing my eyes shut wait for the pain to come.
Instead we hear snap followed by a thud we both look up to see the tall man in black from earlier my eyes trailed down by his feet where Jim laid dead.
"What is this mirror you speak about?" I glance over to the small boy who stood next to Nora. Relief flooded me as I saw her holding Wendi's hand.
Joshua stood up reaching down to lift me up. "Ahgah!" I screamed as I fell back up against the wall clutching my side. "Young master your carriage is here." I looked at the tall man curious to who he is. "Sebastian, please help them inside the carriage the girl needs medical attention."
I look over to tall man named Sebastian as he walked over to me. I clutched onto Josh in fear. "Don't be afraid Miss I'm not going to hurt you. I am only trying to help." Josh lets me go into the strangers arms "It'll be okay Beverly I'm right behind you." Sebastian picked me up causing me to groan in pain "It hurts." I whimper "I know miss." He says walking me up to the vehicle and laying me down on the velvet cushions. The carriage starts to move as my eyes become heavy from tonight's events.
Knowing my siblings are safe for now I let my body shut down into a deep needed sleep.
