Ch.12: Figure Me Out

(Figure Me Out by: The Summer Set)

Previously...

The mirror actually reacted and two crystal hands came out. I stepped back only for it to lend me its hand...

Now...

I was frozen for a moment and it insisted for me to take its hand. I reached out to it and it shook my hand.

"Glad to see you accepted your power, now lets not waste time as it ticks by the hour." The voice said

It let go of my hand and I looked at the mirror.

"You seek an answer you know at heart, but to figure it out you need a start." The voice said

"Is it that my power can only rhyme?" I asked

"You speak in sarcasm, but know this, I am your only weakness." It warned

"Sorry! I'm just...I lost a lot today okay!" I replied

I crossed my arms and the mirror chuckled.

"Ah yes, the bond you had made, was cut to a delay! Making you at a lost for what was supposed to cost." The mirror said

"You're very confusing." I said not understanding

"It means, what you lost isn't what costs you! Having your family mysteriously gone, made you find what is really in vain." It said

"Find what is really in vain?" I asked

"Yes." It replied

I thought about it and then it hit me.

"Thinking about revenge will just be in vain." I said

"Correct." The mirror said

"So, what? I just live on with knowing that bastard got what he wanted!" I asked

"What he wants is what he has yet not found. Making it a failed victory of shame." The mirror said

I understood what it meant.

"He wanted me!" I said in realization," thats why he went after my family! To make me come out and find him so he can get me!"

"Who is the fool now for understanding my rhymes." The mirror said

It pointed its fingers at me and I grumbled at it.

"Your actually very childish." I replied

"You do know you are speaking to the one who understands you most?" It asked
