-Hey guys, i think that my image in the mirror moved, and i wasn´t moving, what do you think that that could mean?
Esteban had used his talisman but they were stuck in that room...
Abigail yelled:
"What did you day?! Have the reflections moved?!"
She moved behind Bruce, trembling as a tree leaf.
"I don't like this room. We must go away from here, please!"
Whoa..really? asked Esteban still with the light on his hand looking at the mirrors..if it was like that..
Esteban cock a brown and extend the hand so the reflection in the mirror did the same and touched the bell...with a smile he slapped the reflection of the bell like he would do if he could touch the golden metal.
We should... We should keep moving, guys. I mean, if our reflections move and we don't, maybe it's the Shadows again! - said Bruce after Abigail stood behind him. He wasn't a coward, but he was intelligent enough to know that, if the Shadows were rounding the place, the kids were'nt able to do much...
What do you think the bells are doing there? Maybe the bats use them for... something...?
The Esteban's reflection moved as the boy did, as every mirror does; but the bells were so hight on the ceiling that it couldn't touch them.
Uh?..Esteban look a bit dissapointed of not being capable of touching the bells but the mirrors and that make him raise a brow again.
Wait if the mirrors in the mirror...odd expression smiled mentally moved does the real mirrors moved too...if we move the mirrors and reflect the light into the big one perhaps we could send the light into the bells and make it sound or something...
"I won't touch them" the girl said.
She were afraid of the mirrors, and the weird imagenes you could see on them.
You couldn't say if it was real or not, but you believed that your reflection moved whyle you were still.
- Girl, don't be afraid of the mirrors - said Nick to Abigail - they don't bite!
Then he stared at Esteban when he began making faces as he thought aloud - do you want the bells to move? then just wait and see, I'll wake up the bats - Nicholas introduced a pair of fingers in his mouth and tried to whistle loudly. Unfortunately for him the result was less impressive than he had thought, and just a soft "weeeeeee" came out of his mouth.
- Wait, I'll do it better now - and he prepared himself to blow really strongly.
I thought for a moment. If the mirrors were there, it was for some reason. Maybe they were distracting us from other things. Or maybe not. I made different moves in front of one of them, to see if it happened the same to me as it did to Tommy. Then I wondered myself...
-Hey... Ummm... Bruce... Do you think you can use your flute here? As you used it before in that place with so many huge bells...
Well, that's a good idea, Henry. I'll give it a try. - and then Bruce took the flute off his bag, and then placed his fingers around it, so as to make some music with it. After that, he began to blow into it.
Bruce smiled at Henry. He stopped to try to move the mirrors while Nick were whistling trying to kick out the bats which had already gone away.
The flute sang with some beautiful music, the music of ancient worlds and lost loves. The wind answered, getting stronger and stronger.
The children fell down beacuse of the wind, the mirrors shook and the bells moved into the hurricane.
When the wind stopped, the bells went on moving, singing as a chorus. And, suddenly, the mirrors began to crack and, with a sound like a thunder, they fell down.
At that moment all of you could see a little door at the end of the cave.
You could throw some stones to the bells too.
- Do you see? It worked! Ha! I knew it, no one whistle better than me! - Nicholas was exultant, and although he was wrong, it seemed the other children wouldn't say anything because it was the first time they saw Nick so happy and a little less bully - lets go pals!
Whoa, did you heard that? "pals", I'm as surprised as anyone that would know Nick could be.
Whoooaaaa.....whispered Esteban with clenched teeth for the incoming hurricane around him adding to it the music and the thunderous whistle of Nick and the result was noisy to say the last.
However the result are not up for debate; they have open a new door for all of them to travel and that was after all; the idea behind all this odissey.
Awesome work guys smiled Esteban still shooking his head from the noise lets go to the next place already.
