Chapter 4 (Into The Looking Glass)

As he staired looking into the eyes of the ghost his grip tightened on the camera obscura. The ghost was of him. It was a mirror image him. Lester reached out to touch the ghost but a peace of glass was in the way. He also noticed when he moved the reflection didn't. He then looked closer at the details and saw that the boy was at the end of the hallway and all along Lester was looking in to a looking glass. on the other side was another reality the ran parallel to this one. A world were he was dead. He then noticed a girl walk up to the boy on the other side. The both then looked at him and he looked back. They raised there arms pointing behind him. Lester knew that they were pointing at something behind him. He could feel it. Even before they pointed he didn't feel alone. He then felt an icey hand and he jerked turning at the same time. It was Latona though behind her was a wall. They had no whay out. Lester didn't care all he wanted to do at the moment was be with his sister.

"Promise me will be together."demanded Latona

"What?"questioned Lester

"Promise me!" shouted Latona tears falling down her cheaks.

"I promise. Now lets go we have to find a way out of here."said Lester standing up.

Latona did the same and grabbed his hand. Lester walked up to the wall from which his sister came from and found it to be solid. He turned to examine the peace of glass that acted as a large looking glass. It to was solid. Lester then looked to his left. There he saw a door that was cracked open. He looked to see his sister but she was gone.

What the hell? How and why does she keep disapparing.

Lester walked into the room and it was nearly empty. In the center was a table and he saw his sister strapped to it. The out from the walls came two men. Each one of them wore only undergaments and soon the were on top of her.

"HELP! Lester please!" cried Latona as they tore at her cloths.

Lester raised the camera obscura up and snapped at shot. The ghosts fanished along with the chains that bouned Latona. They looked around as a familer femanine voice resounded in the air.

This happened to me. Only i was not saved. They doomed us to hell. Now now you must go into the looking glass. See what are fate is. You must die.

The voice cent shivers down Lester and Latonas spine. They ran out of the room and looked at the peace of glass. This time is could hardly magnify anything. It was cracked and splintered and looked as though it would shatter and fall to the ground at any minute. Lester felt as though they shouldn't walk through it, but what choice did he have. There entrence to this area is gone and that room they left was a dead end. Lester let go of Latona and walked up to the glass. When he did he flet a ripple of air go around him and found himself on the other side. He had some how crossed over. He had whent into the looking glass. He looked back and reached out for Latona as she too pased through it nd ended up on the other side. She grabbed his hand and they started to walk down the hallway. They found themselves in the dineing area, or what use to be the dineing area. It was now smashed and broken. They climbed over the wreakage and head to what looked like a hallway. When they reache it they found that it lead outside and that they finaly found there way out. Latona squeezed tighter on his hand as when they soon reached the outside saw an other worldly sight.

The past was being plaied before there eyes and the deaths of hundereds were flashinf before them within seconds. It showed all twins and all they could hear was that they were vergin sacrafices. Latona covered her face by bearying it in Lesters chest. She couldn't watch anymore. Then the vision flashed showing a tear in the cycle. It showed the two twins that resembled Him and his sister. They were the next sacrafice, and they ended up being the last. Once again Lester couldn't help but feel as though he was stairing into the pits of hell. Then as the two mirror images fell Lester closed his eyes. When he opened them he found himself alone again and at the gate to the town holding the camera to his chest.

You are not ready to face are hell. Not yet. The garden is your next destination. Just follow the crimson butterflies.

The voice fell from out of nowhere and a crimson butterfly apeared in front of Lester. What else could he do. He couldn't leave his sister.
