middle of the room where, once bare, now stood a mirror, almost as tall as the ceiling and held up by two strong stone pillars.

 

"Yin? Where did that come from..."Bella, stepping up to Yin's side, asked her friend with a shakey voice.

 

"Come on Yin, let's go." Marcus said to Yin, his voice mimicking his sister's.

 

"Just wait a minute guys," Yin being his curious self, began to walk towards the mirror. "Check it out." He sent a quick look to his friends. "There's something in the mirror." He stopped in front of it and just stood there, starring.

 

Bella and Marcus walked up to the mirror and to Yin's side, and looked at the mirror. Both gasped at what they saw. Instead of seeing what would of been their reflections, they saw a grassy feild, filled with flowers and surrounded by a forest of trees. Yet, above the tree line, they saw smoke billowing up towards the sky, like a dark scar.

 

"H-" Marcus began, studdering once more. "How is this possible? Isn't i- it a mirror, or some sort of weird TV?" Marcus could never accept the unknown, mystical or not.

 

"I don't know. But, it looks familiar to me. Like I have seen it before, or I have been there." Yin replied to Marcus with a voice that sounded far away. As he held his hand up the mirror, he touched it, and instead of his hand hitting the solid surface a mirror should have, his hand went through the glass, sending ripples through the mirror like water. Yin pulled his hand back and way from the surface, letting it settle once more. "Yea, Marcus..." He sent a glance to his friend, "I don't think it's a TV."

 

Bella took a step forward, she glanced at her scared brother who just stood there speechless, starring at Yin. "Y-Yin, is your hand alright?"

 

Just as Yin was about to answer her, there was a loud thump near the doorway. Marcus turned towards the thump and before he could take a step, a crazed animal lept in front of the trio, still halfway up the stairs. It looked feline. Yet, its eyes were glowing red and tusks jutted out from the side of its mouth. It lept the rest of the way down the steps and began to walk slowing toward Yin and his friends, growling an almost earth shattering growl.

 

Bella screamed and Marcus held a look a pure terror, a scream held taught with in his partially opened lips. Yin, on the other hand, was having a serious case of daja-vu as the three were forced to slowly walk back, their backs getting closer and closer to the mirror.

 

Bella, backing up too fast, tripped and began to fall backwards, and into the mirror. She began to fall head first, straight through the mirror's surface, just as Yin's hand. Marcus caught her hand and tried to pull her out but lost his footing and began to fall with her. Yin, watching this in slow motion, his eyes wide, reached out for Marcus' foot. Grabbing his foot, Yin was still inable to pull him and his sister out, and thus was launched through the mirror along with them.

 

As they fell, it looked as if they were floating in a tunnel of sorts. Different colors flying all around them in a dizzying pattern. They all looked back at the mirror they had fallen through just in time to see that feline monster lunge after them. They watched as it got closer and closer, just before the creature jumped towards them, and into the mirror, it shattered. Sending pieces of the mirror flying through the basement and closing the tunnel behind them.

 

"Well, no where to go but forward I guess." Yin said as they began to float closer and closer to the portal that held the still image of the grassy field. "Guess we'll find out what's on the other side soon enough." This last part was almost a whisper.

 

As Yin, Marcus, and Bella reached the end of the tunnel, they slowed down and went through the portal. Yet, just was they were going through it, everything turned a blinding white.

Enter The Heros

 

The bright white light blinded the three as they felt that falling sensation you feel when dream of falling they were hand still holding onto eachother, only when Yin tried oneping his eyes could he see that it wasnt a sensation they were turely falling.

 

"Oh shit!" yin yelled out and took his hand from Marcus' leg and shieled his face the best he could.

 

"what?" Both Marcus and Bella asked at the same time, they both opened their eyes and saw the same thing that yin saw impending doom.

 

Marcus and Bella let go of eachother and begun to scream holding their arms over their faces to try and protect themsevles, Yin begun to feel a strange surge of energy and screamed as loud as he could his scream sent out a strange pink energy pulseing from his mouth the waves hit the ground and bounced back up hitting the three freinds the waves seemed to slow their fall and they landed alot softer then they thought they would once on the ground Marcus and Bella both looked to Yin with looks of surprise they saw the energy that saved their lives as the three stood up Bella was the frist to speak and break the silence.

 

"Yin what was that pink stuff?" Bella asked with a curious tone in her voice not one of fear.

 

"I have no ideal but it just saved our lives so lets thank it" Yin said nervously laughing trying to look unfazed by all that had happened "but right now we need to figure out where that mirror thing has sent us and how to get back to where we came from"

 

"hey guys whats that?" Marcus now finally talking again pointed out to the smoke billowing into the sky just above the trees "i think..."

 

Just before Marcus could finish his sentence a loud screem could be heard from the smae dierction as the smoke, without warrning Yin begun to run to the source of the scream Marcus and bella looked at eachother and ran after their friend.

 

The three friends ran weaved through over two miles of forest untill they came aross a small town under attack by the very same creature that nearly killed them at the abbanded shack but here there were hundreds of them all over the place the towns people ran in all directions trying to get away but many were already dead or ingured Marcus and bella looked on in fear but Yin looked on in complete anger he felt the same energy building up inside him and this time he knew what to do.

 

Yin ran to a group of the creatures that was about to attack a family of four and he screamed a roar of rage the same pink energy pulsed from his mouth and sent the creatures flying back, the energy also hit the family but had no effect on them, they stood up thanked Yin and ran to safety, Yin looked back to Marcus and Bella in time to see them about to be attacked as well he ran to them and tried the shout again but this time nothing came out.

 

"Marcus! Bella! run!" yin yelled out and in response they turned and tried to get away but was blocked by a huge black and red spider with glowing red eyes.

 

"huh?" bella said with a curious tone as her eyes went compleatly black, she swung her arm up then down fast and smooth a black trail following her fingers when she did so all the black felines in frount of her and the big black spider behind her fell down in pain and tried to run away.

 

"Bella what was that?" Marcus asked her when her eyes went back to normal, she was about to ansewer when the spider got back up but the cats were still down.

 

The spider then lunged at Marcus its fangs open for the world to see just before it got to him Marcus's eyes went black and he shot his hands out in frount of him with black energy engulfing his hands just then multipul black magic circles appeared all around the spider and black hands shot from the circles and grabbed and tore the spider to bits as well as grabbed the cat things and pulled them into the black circles then they dissappeared.

The three friends with looks of surprise on their faces moved together but said nothing just listened to the screams around them stop as the creatures retreated back to the forest.

 

The surviving towns people all gathered around the three teens and cheered and screamed for their unknown heros they all got close enough to pat them on the back or shake their hands they diddnt stop them they were too confused to do more then stand there shakeing hands of the villagers they had helped.

 

"Grandfather!" Came the voice of a small boy from behind the mass of people, Yin, Marcus, and Bella all pushed them out of the way as they made their way to the crying boy who was on his knees next to a man with a hole in his gut.

 

Bella gasped as Marcus looked away in horror Yin looked at the scean as a sign he turned to his friends and looked them in the eyes and said "we must help these people use this power given too us to stop this from happening this is why we were sent here let us use the powers to rid this world of the black creatures that forced us here!"

 

Bella and Marcus looked at one another before nodding "ok we're with ya all the way Yin" Bella stated frimly.

"yeah lets give these things a beating they will never forget!" Marcus yelled excitely.

 

The three put thier hands out in frount of them one on top of the other then thrusted them up to the sky and somehow a blue energy beam shot from their hands into the sky then back down again to the man on the ground after a flash of light where the once layed he stood with no hole in his gut.

 

"Grandfather your alright!" the young boy yelled out happily.

 

"yes my boy i am and its thanks to these three young heros i am" the old man turned to the townspeople and spoke once again "this day is a day to rejoice we have three mighty heros to honor with the highest respect! let us have a feast! No! a party!"

 

The townspeople yellout their agreement and got to work setting up a party for their heros as the three friends just stood there in awe at the man who came back from deaths door.

 

The little boy ran up to yin and hugged him thight "thank you for saving my grandfather he's all i have left" the boy said crying a little as the old man walked up to the three.

 

"Mika careful with your emotions you dont want what happened last time to happen again do you?" the Old man said not harshly but kindly like a teacher would his student.

 

"yes grandfather im sorry" the boy dried off his tears and smiled
