(A/N:HI all, I hope you enjoy this. Please tell me whether I should
continue or not. This will have to do with Ella enchanted, I swear. Just
not much. So I don't need a disclaimer yet. Also her name is pronounced
fairly simply. Mel o(as in mow) dee uh

They say I'm pretty for a human. I wouldn't know. I haven't seen my reflection in years, and even then it was never a long look. I have seen a portrait, but who knows how true that is. I know how abnormal it sounds, what 14 year old girl doesn't look adoringly at her reflection every 5 seconds? Well, me, basically, but not by choice. Not that my family can't afford a mirror or something. I mean. I am rich as hell.
When I was little, who knows how young, my parents started noticing something funny. Whenever I looked into a mirror, or a pond, or even saw my reflection in my bath water bad things would happen. The first time I realized something was going on was when I was four and I wanted to go swimming in the pond near our house. It's called black pond, because light never seems to shine on it. It isn't far into our section of the forest, so the perpetual darkness is kind of odd. Anyway, I snuck out to the pond with my 5 year old friend Kani, the baker's son. When I saw my reflection in the still waters two things happened. First I tripped and fell, banging my head on a rock and blacking my eye. What was worse was what happened to Kani. He was a good swimmer for a 5 year old, but when he fell in that pond he never came out. There wasn't even a struggle, not a ripple I could see, the water just opened up and took him in. I didn't even try to save him, and it was a horrible thing for me to go tell our baker. I haven't been to black pond since.
That is just one story, but every time I have glimpsed my reflection on any surface, the consequences have been dire. Unfortunately they have usually hurt other people, rather than hurting me. That is what I can't handle, other people being hurt because of me. But it happens a lot, although not usually as serious as Kani. I have grown used to it, and I have learned to avoid reflections very well. I don't know why I am like this, only that I am. No matter the people I have asked, no person knows a cure or even a cause, but I will keep trying. I want a life. I want my life.
