The Void Mirror (Chapter Three)

I am on my way to work, and i am driving along the dirt road i take everyday to get there, when almost hit an overly attractive girl in a Red flannel, at first glance grabbed my hearts attention as if i just drank a potent love potion in all strangeness she has a pet tiger and a snake tattoo, i am struck with confusion and desperation, to talk to this girl, so i get out of the car, she just kindly looks and keeps walking into the woods, and without hesitation i blindly follow. It is meg minus the tiger and snake tattoo. I always called her tiger eyes. Its definitely no coincidence. the forest is beautiful, bright and alive, The trees are thick and full of leaves and the ground is perfectly brown from last years dead leaves. The sun is shining through the tree's giving everything a surreal glowing effect.

it is adding to the complex situation i am in, she keeps walking and she is so far out of reach, but keeping a slow and steady pace as if its just a routine walk as is my old routine to get to work, she keeps touching the trees with her lush delicate fingertips, i start to run faster but no matter how fast i run I seem to end up even further behind.

I end up tripping over myself due to fatique and once I get up the forest turned hollow, and dead, no sound, no life, all the trees are bare and dead, the fog is so sick I can barly see but i somehow am still able to see the girl with a snake tattoo and pet tiger in the distance, so i am somehow unfased by the sudden change in enviroment and just keep walking...the forest is getting really thick and I am now brushing away dead branches to keep moving, and in frustration i start just pushing through the twigs and i fall to the ground due to the applyed pressure of my body weight, but i land in a field, a meadow of some sort, its even more beautiful than the forest used to be, It is now night time and every star in the universe looks visible from this meadow. Meg with the pet tiger is close, but she is opening a strange old-fashoned wooden door attached to nothing, and she suddenly disappears.

This is the same meadow Meg wanted me to go with her with on Saturday. No doubt about it I have been here. Minus the door everything looks exactly the same. I say If i wasn't dreaming I would believe I am here.

at this time, i have come way to far to try and go back and get to work on time. so i aproach the door, and open it. and close it behind me. i am now standing on thin air, the world and clouds beneath my feet, i am somehow not fased by the fact that I am floating thousands of feet in the air, the Meg with the snake tattoo is in talking distance, but I say nothing. I am just gazing blindly into her eyes that match the beauty and nature of her pet tiger, she is the beautifulest girl i have ever seen. I hit me now that I am really attracted to Meg. Why didn't I see ir before? I dont even try to say anything, i am just in a state of parlysis.

Meg finally speaks after a few minutes of silence, "its good of you to meet me here, come closer you got to see something"

I dont even respond I just walk closer twords her, and a giant silver mirror appears and at first site it isnt showing either of our reflection.

she replys "look closer. Truth will reveal"

I go twords it and i extend my arm twords the mirror, i can see my reflection, but not Megs. I have a differant outfit and expression on my face, the mirror of myself intentions look bad, suddenly the mirror shatters and falls twords the earth through our feet. and behind the shattering mirror is myself. but the myself that was shown in the mirror.

the girl simply says "this is who i want you to meet"

then she disapears into thin air, just vanishes like a ghost,
i start to panic and look around me, all i see is clouds and the world beneath my feet, I try to scream but no sound comes out.
I am standing face to face with a version of myself.

The mirrored me grabs me by my shirt and looks deep into my eyes, staring into my soul.
and sternly and aggressivly says, "all is lost, you've got nothing more to fear, than me. its drapped across your tangled flesh and bones, your taste is all i know. You're heart is breaking mine to peices."

I am able to free myself form his grip. I am terrified as I look and notice I have no where to run, i am affraid to step because i am afraid to fall to the earth.

The mirror of myself, apears instintly behind me and screams, "WAKE UP! ALL YOU HAVE TO FEAR NOW IS MYSELF! ...I AM THE VOID"
His voice knocks me on my back witch is still floating in thin air.

the weather changes and matches his tone of voice as if it was the thunder screaming his words.
rain, lightning and wind start swirling around and striking in every place and every direction, some bolts are even going through me. the storm is being generated from my mirror self, as if they are coming from his finger tips.

he pushes me and I fall through the clouds and i am heading straight for the earth, I am free falling twords the earth with nothing to cath my fall, I am figuring I am dead. this is my last breath. but inches before I hit the ground i close my eyes and fall into myself, into another reality as if it was just a bad dream.

I feel nothing, and I cannot move, my vision is blurry, and it slowly clears, i realize i am on the floor of my living room, The place where I watched Jake die in my arms. I am holding him, I now am able to see what was haunting him. It was himself. witch appeared to just walk out of a mirror. I see what he was screaming from. I see how he got those marks. The mirror of Jake is ripping his flesh away with his fingertips. There is no logical explanation to how he is able to dig with his hands into another mans flesh. The mirror of Jake presses his finger twords Jake's heart and it pierces his shirt, skin and its obvious it has punctured his heart. This is horror Jake had to partake in before he died. It is far more worse than what I was left dealing with, after the event. But I am seeing something I missed that day, It looks as if a ghostly version of Jake climbs from his body and disappears into the mirror. Leaving his limp lifeless body.

I am stunned, unable to move or feel anything. I just have no choice to witness what I am seeing. A reoccurring event I wish I could just disregard from memory.

I wake up screaming. I can't really recall what has happened. If its true or not. But one thing is for sure I am seeing PTSD visions.

But, I can't help to think Jake isn't dead.... He is somehow trapped in the other dimension. Witch I am starting to guess is a mirror of reality, But I am going to guess from what I experienced from FYR. there is now physical laws of motion. Everything logical, and realistic is thrown out the window. like a dream world. I think I am starting To understand why Evan sent me that voicemail. I am the only one who maybe be able to bring
Him and Jake back.
