Chapter 1

The lesson

Talia's POV

"I have no time for magical bullshit, I got, you know, actual adult things to do." I watched Puck set up the mirror.

"You know you need magic practice, kiddo." He smiled, but I felt the pain in his eyes.

"There's a thunder storm outside." I waved my hand to the window as it thundered.

"It'll take more than that to fuck shit up. Ok, repeat after me, Mirror to mirror now connect, let my call be heeded. Sliver and glass used to reflect, a clear way to safety what's needed!" He chanted. The mirror turned into a portal for a minute until he cut off the magic. "Your turn."

I frowned.

Talia's POV

"Mirror travel is easy once you get the hang of it, but sometimes you need a spell when things get sticky." Puck set up the mirror.

"Dad, it's really stormy outside." I looked to the window as it thundered.

"It'll take more than that to fuck shit up. Ok, repeat after me, Mirror to mirror now connect, let my call be heeded. Sliver and glass used to reflect, a clear way to safety what's needed!" He chanted. The mirror turned into a portal for a minute until he cut off the magic. "Your turn."

I frowned.

Talia's POV End

Third Person

"Mirror to mirror now connect, let my call be heeded. Sliver and glass used to reflect, a clear way to safety what's needed!" Talia chanted and her magic made a portal in the full length mirror. Then she walked through it. As she did, she heard a loud boom. The magic carried her to her destination, but she felt another presence with her. She looked and saw another her. There was almost no difference except her eyes and the scars.

She fell out of Elisa's bathroom mirror. "Ow."
