Mirror

Glass and Blood

Heaven bend to take my hand
I've nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to these I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one wrong step one slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem away to be revealed

I screamed from the other side of the mirror. I was afraid, not only of being locked away but of the possibility that Yugi would take to this other me and never once look at the mirror. I thought about what would happen if I was left here. Would I simply rot and become nothing more than a spirit that was no better than the reflection.

My body was becoming cold, and I felt his mind drifting. I frantically grabbed at the glass window called the mirror in an effort to stay there, to stay where someone might see me. I cried out to anyone and was about to pound on the glass when I saw Yugi enter the bathroom and reach into the cupboard for a band-aid.

I screamed and pounded on the glass, praying to any god that would listen in hopes that Yugi at least heard me. I saw the eye on the Sennen puzzle glow and I saw Yugi turn to the mirror. I screamed louder and pounded harder on the glass. I was certain that Yugi could see him, and I didn't know how right I was.

Yugi reached for the glass and it shattered from my end. Glass flew at him, into my eyes, into his skin. I dove at the opening that was made. I felt myself passing from the mirror world and into the physical world. The glass that hit me pressed deeper into my skin and blood was pouring from my wounds.

I felt himself hit the floor and heard a frantic and crazed scream that could only have belonged to Yugi. (You can hear his mind snapping). I tried to move but couldn't. There was so much pain. I rolled his eyes and looked up at Yugi (as I said...you could hear his mind snap), who was looking at me with intense fear and confusion. Again, I tried to move.

"Yugi? Are you all right?"

I heard a voice that was clearly not my own, but could have been. I looked over and up to see the reflection, standing there with now a surprised look on his face. Knowing what had to happen now, I punched my fists into the floor and pushed myself up, slowly with blood and all.

"You..." I whispered, nearly falling. I was half way up, and couldn't afford to fall now.

"Ah yes...dear sweet 'real' Yami. Your suffering will end soon." The reflection said, eyes never leaving mine as I rose to my feet.

By Osiris...I was so bloody, and the glass was so deep that it would hurt more if I pulled the pieces out. I glared at the reflection with one eye, the other wouldn't open. It hurt to do so. I spat out a mouthful of blood before I could speak.

"No reflection...I...can defeat you...I won't be the mirror's slave." I said...it hurt to speak. The reflection laughed.

"You said that you would no longer be a slave, but if it is not to the mirror, then it will be to yourself. You see?" The reflection moved fast. In an instant, it was so close to me that I could feel it breathing. But that I did not feel.

I felt its fingers creep into one of my wounds and rip glass from it. I screamed in pain. My eyes caught sight of Yugi.

But I wasn't sure if he was alive or not.
