Somewhere deep in the dark depths of a shattered mirror She sits and ponders her life away. But she isn't alone her daughter is with her in a death like sleep that will never end, or will it? Around her neck a large amethyst pendant imbued with the remnants of her once powerful magic hangs loosely.

"But, if I use it on her I'll never get out of here." Ran through her tired old mind.

She stared at her limp lifeless daughter and remorse filled her icy veins for the first time in her life. "I can't do this to her I know HE wouldn't" Flashes of memories long since past danced around in her subconscious. Her eye's stung but she held in her feelings just like she had the day she lost her everything.

But now wasn't the time to reminisce about her wasted life this she knew. The pendant glowed brightly when she ripped it from her neck but died down when she tied it around her daughter's cold neck. Stepping back, hoping upon hope that it would do anything.

After, about twenty minutes her shoulders drooped and her heart shattered again. "Why didn't it work?" Kicking her chain's up she turned around more angry than saddened. Slamming her fists into the already shattered glass blood trickled down her hands.

Still hammering away at the unbreakable mirror she didn't pay attention to the blood pooling around her daughter. It seeped into the amethyst pendant causing it to glow twice as brightly as before. She slid to the ground exhausted and in pain. "Why!?" A single tear dropped from her caved in face it danced along the floor splitting into to two and crawling up her daughter's face.

The tears seeped into her eyes and in a flash of purple light, life was brought back to her body. "M-mother." She croaked while clawing at her throat.

"My baby?" The once powerful sorceress crawled to her child a mess of emotions but most of all weakness. "Where a-are we?" She cradled her child like she had done so many moons ago. Reality soon crept back into her subconscious.

"You have to go, now!" She scrambled to her feet lifting her daughter up on her gelatinous limbs. "What! W-why?"

"Don't ask questions just go! Find Raven she'll explain everything!" Pushing her daughter out the mirrors empty void she wished she could join her but knew she'd never see her daughter again. "Beware the headmaster."

Her mother's voice floated away as large eerie trees sprouted up all around her, the air grew still, even without a drop in temperature a shiver run up her spine.

"Where am I?" She didn't dare say the words aloud fearing whatever had its eyes trained on her would pounce at that very moment. Just like a big cat stalking its prey the creature followed her as she aimlessly stumbled around.

A twig snapped behind she took off in a sprint. Every portion of her body flopped around as she jumped over fallen branches.

She looked back, bad choice.

She landed face first into the mud and muck of the forest. Footsteps inched closer and closer her heartbeat was so loud she was certain everything in the forest could hear it.

"Goodbye mother." She thought when a strong hand turned her over.
