Mirrors Through Reality

Veivian walks home from school. She takes the long way through Quinnings Woods. With her hood up and her hands in her pockets. She's all alone in this world. No friends, not even family. She's just an orphan who lives with an old elderly lady who will probably die soon anyway. She never even knew her parents. It's winter break now. Not that school gave her any peace of mind anyway. The leaves crunch under her feet. She enjoys the sound they make. Her foot hits something hard. She almost trips. She looks down to see a medium sized mirror. It looks ancient, The sides are black with fancy patterns around it. And the mirror itself is black, she can't see herself inside it. She sees A kingdom it looks like with black burned trees. She reaches out to touch it. A blinding white light shines and she wakes up on the floor. Not in the woods. But what seems to be a palace. She looks down at the red carpeting beneath her. "What is this?" She wonders aloud. "Who are you?" She looks up to see a boy standing behind her who seems to be only a bit older than her. "I, I uh." She stammers. She knows her name but she's still in shock and she doesn't understand what is happening exactly. She stands a bit. Her legs wobbly. "Did you touch a mirror? A weird black looking one?" The boy asks her. She nods. This is VR 5678092. You've traveled away from your world. Just like me." She stares at the boy in shock. Is he joking?, she thinks. She pinches herself. It hurts. Her skin turns a little pink. "You're not dreaming. Or dead." The second option lays in the air heavily. "What's happening?" She asks wearily. "You are a chosen one. The mirror chose you. It brought you into a different reality. The same one as me." Vevivan stares at the boy. She's finally regained her balance and her head is stable again. "How do I get home?" she asks. "It's simple really girl, there's a mirror in each world you cross. You have to find the mirror that brought you out of your world and it should bring you back. But to warn you your chances are about 2% out of 100. You're as real here as you were in your world, you can age, be arrested, killed. You still have to survive. Not that every world does have people." She's not sure what to say so she says the most obvious, "My name isn't girl." He chuckles a little. This girl is amusing, he thinks to himself. "I know that's not your name. What is your name?" "You can just call me Vei." No ones ever been close enough with Veivian to call her a nickname. Maybe she can make a friend here. "Vei, my name is Nash. Not that you will be needing it. There's not much I can do for you here." "WAIT!" Vei calls out to him before she can stop it. "Vei, you shouldn't get attached, you should focus on getting hom-" Suddenly there's a loud banging on the big bronze doors of the palace. "VEI!" Before she can think she is dragged away by Nash. "WE HAVE TO GO!"
