Yeah, this is the follow-up fanfiction to Mirror People. Originally, I was going to make a series of fanfictions, each telling a story about Sam and the Barrets, but I decided to put them all into one, big fanfiction. Keep in mind, these stories will vary from one-shots to an entire arc.

With that said, let's continue.

A Visit to Mirror Isabella

"Mirror Isabella Crystal, there's someone who wants to see you."

Mirror Isabella, or Bella as she liked to be known as, groaned a bit. Ever since she had been sent to the psychiatric hospital to cure her of her mental disorders, she had received an endless tirade of visits from all of her friends, and even a few people she didn't even know. Mostly, her visitors were Ophelia and Pandora, coming to check up on her.

This time, however, she knew it wasn't them. The doctor would've referred to them by name if it was. So, Mirror Isabella felt a pang of nervousness as she wondered who had come this time. A lot of the time, her visitors weren't very friendly.

Mirror Isabella sat on her bed, awaiting to see who had come. Slowly, the door in front of her creaked open, and a girl walked in. She had messy brown hair, and she was wearing a red shirt and a black skirt. Mirror Isabella recognized her instantly.

"Hey, you're Brenda Collins, that kid who hangs out with my sister," She said.

"Hey," Brenda greeted, and Mirror Isabella could tell she was nervous about seeing her. She was rather unnerved by the fact that neither of Brenda's parents had bothered to accompany her on her visit.

"I, uh, last week was a big day for everybody," Brenda said. Mirror Isabella instantly remembered what had happened last week.

The night she took everyone in Crystal City and imprisoned them in her magical mirror. Looking back on it, Mirror Isabella wasn't surprised that was what Brenda wanted to talk about. After all, it seemed all of her visits revolved around that night.

"You struck me with a lightning bolt," Brenda pointed out. "I almost died."

"Yeah, I'm sorry," Mirror Isabella apologized in an insincere tone. She still wasn't familiar with Brenda, so she couldn't empathize with her properly. She turned her head so she wouldn't have to face the girl.

"I still have the scars," Brenda revealed and unexpectedly pulled of her shirt a bit. Mirror Isabella briefly turned her head in Brenda's direction, and she almost cringed when she saw the lightning pattern that now adorned Brenda's stomach.

"I'm faring better than most lightning strike victims, though," Brenda reassured. "It's surprising."

"Why are you here?" Mirror Isabella asked, annoyed by Brenda's presence.

"I wanted to ask you something," Brenda said. Before Mirror Isabella could respond, Brenda asked, "How come you're so overbearing?"

Mirror Isabella's eyes shifted and slightly darkened upon hearing that. She didn't like to think of herself as overbearing, but at the same time, she was wondering how Brenda came to that conclusion.

"Izzy told me everything," Brenda said as if she was reading Mirror Isabella's mind. "Yeah, she told me about Amanda, and what you'd do if you got mad-"

"It's tough being me, okay," Mirror Isabella interrupted, now frustrated. "I was orphaned only a few months after Sam was born, and I had to fend for him. We got taken to the orphanage, and Sam was showing Amanda around, and do you know what would've happened if other people found out. Not just the other orphans, but adults. Authorities."

"Well, they all know, now," Brenda said. "And let me tell you, things are going a lot better than you would've thought. Sam actually has a home, now."

"Yeah, I guess the Mirror Dimension wasn't good enough for him," Mirror Isabella whispered, but Brenda heard her.

"Don't say that," Brenda said. "Sam appreciates you, and I know it."

Before another word could be said, the doctor walked in. "Brenda Collins, you're time is up," He said. "You may leave, now."

Brenda sighed, and she gave another glance at Mirror Isabella before exiting the room. Mirror Isabella watched her leave, feeling as if she'd won the argument, even though Brenda had gotten to last word.

That made her happy. She was the winner of this one.

"Mirror Isabella."

Oh gosh, Mirror Isabella thought as she recognized that voice. Oh please, let it not be him. It's only been one day since Brenda was here, why did it have to be HIM?

Slowly, Mirror Isabella got off her bed. Sure enough, there was David Barret, the characteristic frown on his face. His arms were folded in a disapproving manner, and he had the facial trademarks of disappointment.

"What are you doing here, David?" Mirror Isabella asked with a groan. "Don't you have better things to do?"

"I need a word with you," David said adamantly. Mirror Isabella noticed that David wasn't with his parents, and she secretly wondered what absentminded parents these kids have to not accompany their children while visiting mental patients.

"Look, if this is about last week, I'm sorry about that," Mirror Isabella promised, hoping that would get David to leave.

"Oh, you're sorry?" David asked in an unforgiving tone. "You sound like you took the last donut from the police office, rather than having STOLEN a whole freaking city!"

"Well, how else am I supposed to apologize?" Mirror Isabella asked frantically. "This isn't as easy as you'd think."

David's eyes lightened in sorrow. "Last week...was the worst day of my life," He confessed. "I thought I was going to lose everyone I loved. My parents, my sister..."

"Well, it didn't happen, okay," Mirror Isabella reminded. "I freed the city, remember?"

"Yeah, and Brenda got electrocuted and Sam has a permanent scar," David retorted. "I hope you're happy with yourself, because I'm not."

Mirror Isabella grimaced.

"You're next scheduled visit is in a few more days," David said. "You'd better have your act cleaned up by then."

He turned to exit the room, but paused and added, "Isabella says she's coming to see you tomorrow."

Mirror Isabella shut her eyes, horrified at how that visit would go, and heard the door slam in front of her, signaling that David had left.

Turns out David hadn't been lying. The very next morning, Isabella Crystal was admitted into the hospital to visit her reflection.

Mirror Isabella groaned inwardly when she saw her counterpart enter the room. Isabella's face was blank when she arrived, so Mirror Isabella had trouble figuring out what emotion she was feeling.

"The doctor says you're doing better," Isabella said, concealing her troubled emotions. Mirror Isabella didn't bother responding to her.

"So, I think you'll be happy to hear that me and Sam are doing great since we've been adopted by the Barrets," Isabella said. "I mean, it's weird. I used to hate that family, especially David, but now we're officially integrated into them. Isn't it great?"

Mirror Isabella sighed. She had no idea how to feel about her siblings getting adopted by a "normal" family. She would've preferred if they were adopted by other Mirror People. That would've been fine with her.

"Anyways, I need to speak to you," Isabella said. "It's about the orphanage."

"It was two years ago, Isabella!" Mirror Isabella snapped. "Two years ago! Time has passed, and our time at the orphanage is in the past."

"You made sure of that, considering you burnt the whole building to the ground!" Isabella pointed out. "Did you know that Sam was in that orphanage when you set it on fire. So was Amanda, and Brenda. They told me!"

Mirror Isabella's eyes widened when she realized how close she had been to killing Sam and Amanda, two people who had played apart in her reformation. She could only imagine what've happened if they had died."

"Do you know the word that went out when you were sent here?" Isabella asked, working herself up to a rage. "Everyone was spreading the word that you were some psycho who tried to destroy a whole city!"

"I know, I know," Mirror Isabella said in a pleading tone. "Losing Sam is the last thing I want."

"Well what nearly happened when he got knocked into the tar pit," Isabella pointed out.

"Don't you remember, I didn't do that," Mirror Isabella snapped, narrowing her eyes. "That was my wolves."

"Working under your instructions," Isabella said. "Mirror Isabella, if you want anyone to truly forgive and forget, you need to prove that you're capable of doing that yourself."

"Let's face it," Mirror Isabella said. "Nobody's going to forget what I did."

Isabella turned to the door and opened it. "Yeah, we both know that," She said. With that, she left.

Mirror Isabella had mixed feelings when Janet arrived on her visit. She knew it was going to happen eventually, what with everyone else visiting her, but she wasn't sure how she'd respond when she actually came.

"Mirror Isabella?" Janet said as she entered the room. Unlike her previous three visitors, Janet had brought her parents along to supervise her. They stood outside the door, along with the doctor, waiting to see how things went.

Janet twiddled her fingers, looking just as confused as Mirror Isabella. Her bright blue eyes held a pang of uncertainty and anxiety, and her head was drooped and staring at the floor.

"Isabella suggested that I come see you," Janet admitted, and Mirror Isabella silently wondered how that conversation had went. "She requested that she come with me, but I felt she could stay home."

Mirror Isabella snorted in response.

"Don't look unimpressed, you have no idea how much I didn't want to see you," Janet said, and Mirror Isabella saw an unfamiliar look on anger in Janet's eyes. Though she tried to look dignified, Mirror Isabella was a little wary, as she'd never seen Janet look so enraged.

"Look, I know you and everybody else are still pretty mad at me, but I've told everyone else before, that I'm-"

"Sorry? Is that it?" Janet asked, and Mirror Isabella thought her expression made her look unnervingly like David.

"You took away my home, my parents, and you hurt so many people last week!" Janet said, pointing a finger at her. Mirror Isabella thought it odd that this same girl had consoled her about her parents death several days ago, and now she was so angry at her.

"Don't think I forgot what you did just because I tried to make you feel better about your parents," Janet said. "Also, you hurt Brenda, and Sam."

"I know that!" Mirror Isabella said, raising her voice slightly. "Everyone else has been talking about it, even the other mental patients."

"As they should," Janet said. "You're coming to visit us soon, so you better be on your best behavior when you arrive. Until then, I'll be waiting to see."

Mirror Isabella simply flopped back onto the bed, tired of looking at Janet. All she heard were footsteps heading out of the room, followed by the door closing.

Mirror Isabella knew she had to get some sleep. Because, based on how these visits were going, a certain boy with a blue streak in his hair was bound to show up sooner or later.

"Bella?"

Mirror Isabella's calculations had been correct. Samson "Sam" Crystal had shown up the day after Janet.

"Janet suggested I come see you," He said. Mirror Isabella turned to face Sam. His hair had grow a little bit longer, and his eyes looked bigger now. He wore the same confused expression Janet had the day before.

"I don't know what to say," He admitted. "Those days at the Barrets house, before the whole mirror incident, were so conflicting. I truly felt at home with them."

"Yeah, 'cause the Mirror Dimension wasn't good enough for you, is that it?" Mirror Isabella said, now a little angered.

"I will not be made the guilty party here, Bella," Sam said sternly, shocking Mirror Isabella. "You were the one who chose to overreact and imprison the whole city!"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry," Mirror Isabella said, turning to stare at the wall.

"How come you were the last person of those five to come see me?" She asked, confused.

"Because I didn't know how I would face you," Sam admitted. "Every fiber in my body was telling me to despise you, but I've spent my whole life with you. I don't know what to think."

Mirror Isabella tensed up, and she kept herself from responding.

"All my life, I thought I was alone," Sam admitted. "Amanda was my only condolence, and you took her away. Sure, she survived, but we were separated for two years. Then, Janet came, and I actually felt like I could be accepted once more. Then you tried to separate the two of us. What is the matter with you?"

Once more, Mirror Isabella didn't respond.

"Do you just think that you have the right to control my life?" He asked, on the verge of shouting. "Do you think a simply 'sorry' will make everything better? Because apparently, that's what you told the other people who visited you."

"Well what else am I supposed to say?" Mirror Isabella asked. "Am I supposed to grovel at your feet, begging for forgiveness. I'm no slave, Samson Crystal!"

"I know that!" Sam said. "But, Mirror Isabella, that night, everybody could've died. I could've died. When I fell into that tar pit, I truly thought I was done for, and I could only imagine what you would've done next."

Mirror Isabella tried to cancel out how she would've responded if Sam truly had died. She knew that if he actually had drowned in the pit, her reaction would've been something she'd regret later.

"If I could, I'd have dived into that pit and saved you myself," She tried, to offer some condolence.

"Yeah, maybe you would've," Sam said. He looked around his shoulder, then added, "I'm overstaying my welcome here. Soon, the doctor will tell me to leave. I better get going."

"Yeah, bye Sam," Mirror Isabella said as she lay down on the bed and shut her eyes. Sam watched her sleep, and he turned around and left the room.

Mirror Isabella opened her eyes and watched as Sam left. As she did, she contemplated how big a role she had played in everybody's lives, the night she imprisoned the whole city.

"Mirror Isabella, you have another visitor."

Mirror Isabella sighed, but this time she was prepared. She wondered who'd come to see her this time.

Tell me which visit was your favorite :)
