"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes" ~Charles Spurgeon

       We heaved ourselves up from the table and walked over to where Harry disappeared from. He was right, at the end of the hallway was a full blown mirror. Harry was kneeling down in front of it, peering into it. We walked over to it, I looked at everyone looking at their reflections.
       "God, is that how I look?" Tobi needle.
       "I've forgotten what I've looked like-no. Scratch that, the memory of myself been wiped from my memory" Simon correct himself. I turned to look at myself in the mirror. HOLY MOLY.
       "IM SHORT!" I exclaimed in a childish manner. All eyes were on he as I threw my small tan hands onto the mirror. They laughed at me.
       "You are small" JJ laughed. I threw my head back to look at him, no, I'm not exaggerating. He literally had to look down at me..
       "Oh nooo! Where did Vik gooo?" Harry horsed around. He stretched out his words as everyone caught onto his little joke and played along.
       "oH, nO?! wHeRe DiD vIk GoOo?!" I mocked.
       "I can't find him" Ethan put his arm onto Tobi's shoulder to rest as the looked at one another.
       "Vik! Vik come out here right now!" Tobi snickers as he put his hands into microphone mode. His words carried threw out the house.
       "Hahaha" I sarcastically spoke as I walked back to the kitchen. Something about that whole scenario felt nostalgic, the teasing felt real.. I walked over to the table and their sat a candle. It wasn't used. I picked it up and inspected it.
"Happy birthday tooo youuu~" the family sang. The child sitting their was myself, the birthday candle said sixteen.
       "Vik?" Tobi shook me from my flashback. What could this mean? What that person actually me and was it trying to show me my age. "VIK!" Harry shrieked.
       "Sixteen.." I mumbled.
       "Oh god, we lost him. He's the first one down" JJ deride.
       "Don't joke about that!" Harry hit his arm shocked.
       "That didn't hurt" the taller male looked down at Harry.
       "Guys, touch this candle" I shoved the candle into Simons hands.
       "Why fo-" Simons words were cut off as he looked into the distance. He suddenly dropped the candle and looked at me. "What the hell was that?! What did you do to me?"
       "I don't know what your implying, but what did you see!" I disregarded his original question and asked him one of my own.
       "Myself sitting at a table. It looked like I was seventeen, well, that's how much candles I've counted" he sat down at the table and ran his slender fingers threw his blond hair.
       "I've got it! That candle shows you your age, mine was sixteen!" I put the puzzle piece together and found out what it meant.
       "Ooou! My tur-" JJ picked up the candle from the ground, it seams like he didn't finish his original sentence....
       "What's going on?" Ethan asked as he slithered into the scene.
       "It looks like viks figures out how to reveal our ages. Like how I'm seventeen and he's sixteen"
       "SEVENTEEN!" JJ yelled.
       "Holy-" Tobi hushed himself "what was that?!"
       "I FIGURED OUT THAT IM SEVENTEEN!" He shouted of joy. "HERE, TRY IT!"
       "Uhh, JJ, your shouting-" Josh told him as JJ successfully shove the candle into his pale hands.
       "WHAT?! Oh" JJ quieted down. We all waited for Josh's answer. In the mean time, we sat down at the table, passing around the candle. That Josh, Ethan, JJ, Tobi and Simon were all seventeen, while me and Harry were left in the age of sixteen.
       "What could this mean? I mean like, why when we touched the candle, we were shown that certain memory?" Harry made himself more clear. We sat at the table, not saying a word.
       "Maybe...when we do something certain..it would trigger a past memory.." I explained slowly. The nodded their heads to my statement.
       "Well, lets go look for more things" JJ pushes himself off from the chair. Simon caught onto his wrist before the male could run off anywhere.
       "Don't do that, you could seriously injure yourself in this mysterious house!" Simon warns as he pulled JJ back down onto the chairs.
       "The voice did say that their were traps setup here" Josh reminded us. "I'm hungry, is their anything in the fridge or is the mysterious person gunna starve us out?" Josh asked.
       "Please stop joking about that!" Harry wined like a child. I chuckled at the Youngers actions.
