Chapter Text
It was one year after her failed gifting ceremony and Mirabel was crying in her room. When she finally looked up, there was a door that wasn’t supposed to be there. She hopped off her bed and walked over, tentatively reaching out and placing her hand on the doorknob. It didn’t glow, but it also didn’t disappear. Mirabel opened it and walked through.

Mirabel was missing for a week and a half.

When she got back, she became obsessed with drawing what looked like meaningless scribbles to everyone else. They all brushed it off, she was six, after all. But little did they know that Mirabel was trying to map out the hallways she had been trapped in.

Not even three days later she disappeared once more. This time she wouldn’t come back for seven (?) years.
