The Mirror

There's a corridor in the school basement that has been left untouched by teachers for several decades. There is a mirror that reaches the roof of the basement. That's all that we know of for now. Some people say you must stare at the mirror for several seconds before something happens, while others say you must turn the lights off for something to happen. My friend and I had to stay at the school because we were picking up chairs because we had a concert. Half of the chairs go into the band classroom and the other half stays in the gym. Since my friend and I were freshmen, the older kids forced us to put the chairs in the classroom. It was annoying taking the chairs into the classroom because it was pitch black and the lights didn't work. After several minutes of putting away chairs, we were finally done and we could head home. My friend named Tim stopped me and pointed at the basement, it wasn't locked at night since students usually aren't in the school during the night time. I thought for a moment and in the end we were walking down the dark basement. When we reached the corridor, I turned the lights on to see if it worked, no luck. We walked down the corridor and looked around at the empty rooms. We kept walking until we reached the end. I turned the light on my phone and there it was, the mirror. I stood there in awed when Tim yanked my phone out of my hands and took a picture with the flash on. I tried getting my phone back, but he kept taking pictures with the flash on. When I managed to yank it back, Tim pointed at the mirror. I turned to see that our reflections were gone, except for the corridors reflection. I was shocked and I put my arm on the glass, but I fell through. The mirror wasn't there, it was another corridor that looked like our school. I got up and Tim followed me as we walked upstairs. The moment the door opened the smell of rotting flesh burned my nose and I gagged. We walked out to see the hallways covered in blood, only it was fresh blood because it was still dripping from the ceilings. On the floor laid limbs of animal and human remains. We walked cautiously as we walked around the body parts. As I reached for the door that lead outside the school I heard Tim scream and quickly turned around. Had was on the floor kicking and screaming as one of the arms was holding onto his leg.

" Th-there's.....N-no......esca...ping........."

We turned to see the head of a boy grinning as he kept saying,

"Jo.....in.....us........sta.....y....w..i....th.....u.....s.....Be........on...e....of.....us......"

I ran and yanked the arm off his leg and pulled him up as we ran to the basement. The hallway was now full of laughter and screams of a kids, while the animals made growling noises. I grabbed the door that lead to the basement, but it was stuck. Tim and I pulled on the door as the dismembered body's began to pull themselves together. Tim was kicking the door open as I watched the body parts beginning to melt and fuse together to form a monster. The heads of every creature had melted together which left a disturbing figure grinning at us. I began to kick the door open as the creature began to walk then run at us as it screamed,

"ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!"

The door gave in and we ran to through the corridor as the thing rolled down the stairs after us. I was ahead and Tim was behind me. I ran to reach the other corridor, but I smacked onto an invisible wall and fell back. I realized that I needed to use the flash now, so I took out my phone and tried to take a picture. The moment the first flash went on, I saw the creature grab Tim and yank him towards him.

"TIM!!!!!!"

I tried to grab him, but it took him. It put its mouth on Tim's arm and tore it off. I screamed as I watched so helplessly my friend getting killed. Before anything else could happen, Tim cried to me his final words,

" SAVE YOURSELF!!!!!"

I did as I was told and clicked the button and as the flash lit the room once more, the image of Tim getting his head ripped off was the last thing I saw. I don't know what happened after that because I awoke on the floor gasping for air and looked around.

"Tim?"

I looked around the room to find myself alone in the dark corridor. I stood up and looked at the mirror. I shined my light on it to see the creature behind me. I turned around to see nothing there. I faced the mirror again to see another thing appearing on the mirror, it was my reflection covered in blood smirking at me and in one of his hands was Tim's head and on the mirror it read,

"ONE OF US!"
