The Night's Reflection: A Haunting Reunion

The moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the small town of Eldridge. The air was thick with anticipation, as the wedding of Emily and her sister, Lily, was to take place that night. Emily had returned to her hometown after years of living abroad, a decision she had made only a few days prior. She had felt a strange pull, an inexplicable need to be there, as if her life was about to change in ways she couldn't yet comprehend.

As the guests began to arrive, Emily wandered through the old, creaky house that had once been her childhood home. The walls seemed to whisper secrets, and the air was thick with the scent of decay. She found herself drawn to the attic, a place she had always avoided as a child. The door creaked open, and she stepped inside, her heart pounding in her chest.

The attic was a labyrinth of old furniture and forgotten memories. Emily wandered through the room, her eyes scanning the shadows. Suddenly, she heard a faint whisper, barely audible over the distant laughter of the wedding guests. It was a voice, calling her name, but it was not a voice she recognized.

"Emily," the voice echoed, "you must come."

She turned, searching the darkness for the source of the voice, but saw nothing. She felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart raced. She moved closer to the source, her footsteps echoing in the silence. The voice grew louder, more insistent.

"Emily, you must come now!"

She reached the end of the attic, where a dusty mirror stood against the wall. She approached it, her reflection staring back at her. But as she looked into the mirror, something strange happened. The reflection was not her own, but that of a woman she had never seen before. Her eyes were wide with fear, and her hair was disheveled.

"Who are you?" Emily demanded, her voice trembling.

The woman in the mirror did not respond. Instead, she began to move, her arms stretching out towards Emily. The reflection's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth, as if to scream. But before the sound could escape, the mirror shattered, and the woman in the reflection vanished.

Emily's heart pounded as she turned to leave the attic. She had to get out of there, but as she descended the stairs, she felt a strange sensation, as if she were being pulled back up. She looked down, and saw the mirror lying in pieces at the bottom of the stairs, its reflection still visible, though faint.

The wedding was in full swing when Emily finally made it back down. She excused herself, claiming she needed some air, and stepped outside. The night was still, and the stars twinkled in the sky. She felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had been here before, in this very place.

As she stood there, gazing up at the stars, she heard a voice again, this time clearer than before. "Emily, you must come with me."

She turned, but saw no one. The voice was coming from the direction of the old house, the one that had once belonged to her grandmother. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to follow the voice. She walked towards the house, her heart pounding with fear and curiosity.

The door to the house was slightly ajar, and she pushed it open. The interior was dark, but she could see enough to make out the outline of furniture. She moved cautiously through the house, her footsteps echoing in the silence. The voice grew louder, more insistent.

"Emily, you must come with me!"

She reached the living room, where a large, ornate mirror stood against the wall. She approached it, her heart pounding in her chest. As she looked into the mirror, she saw her reflection, but this time, it was not her own. It was the woman from the attic, the one who had called her name.

The wedding was over, and the guests had left. Emily stood alone in the town square, looking up at the stars. She felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had been here before, in this very place.
