Al Drin Hoshizora:...Eh.
I am a burglar: Who needs them?
I really hope this story gets some attention. It's not getting a lot of comments.
When Sam and Janet were going to sleep that night in the human realm, their mother Agatha asked, while tucking them in, "So, what did you do in the mirror realm today."
Sam shrugged. "Eh, a bit," He said, though he didn't offer any details. That was filled by Janet.
"Sam showed me water fairies," She explained to her mother. "They live in the water."
"Oh, never could've guessed," Agatha said, sarcasm blatant to Sam, but not Janet. "Was it fun?"
Janet's smile faltered. "Well, they came over to the ice pond," She recalled, a conflicted look on her face. "They didn't seem very happy that we were here. Humans, I mean. Especially the one named Cain."
"Oh, and who's that?" Agatha asked.
Sam answered that. "He's the leader of a clan of the water sprites nearby," He said. "Not all of them, but a lot. I mean, a lot. They don't bother us much, though."
"That's good," Agatha said, tucking them in.
"Doesn't really like humans that much," Sam mumbled. "He doesn't like that you adopted me and Isabella."
"Well, if he has a problem with that, he'll have to go through me," Agatha said as she kissed Sam and Janet on the forehead. "Now, have a good sleep. It's school tomorrow."
Agatha flicked off the lights and left the room in darkness. The only light was Sam's blue streak in his hair, and the moonlight outside the window.
Sam flew the covers over his and Janet's heads, and they both opened their eyes.
"Will Cain come back?" Janet asked, worried. "Will he fight the other fairies?"
"He won't pick a fight with the forest fairies," Sam reassured her. "He wouldn't win. Water fairies aren't as strong as forest fairies. We're the strongest fairies of all."
"Oh," Janet said, directing her eyes upwards. "That's awesome! You're so awesome!"
"Keep it down," Sam shushed her. "You don't want to wake David and Isabella up."
"Oh," Janet said, quieting down. "So, what do we do now?"
Sam sighed. "Look, for the next few days, you don't enter the mirror dimension unless another fairy is guiding you," Sam instructed her. "Same with David or any other human that visits. The water fairies may need some time to get used to this, so until then, don't go in there alone."
"Roger," Janet said, saluting Sam. The fairy boy rolled his eyes and then went to sleep.
Amanda wandered through the forest of the mirror dimension, Mirror Samson floating by her side. While most of the humans had left the mirror dimension after the water sprites had left, Amanda had remained.
"Amanda, why are we here?" Mirror Sam asked as he dodged a tree branch. "Your parents wanted you home like, a half-hour ago."
"I want to see the water sprites," Amanda said, snapping off a branch from a nearby tree. "I'd like to speak with them."
"They don't want to talk to humans," Mirror Sam reminded her. "Most of them don't even like talking with the other fairies. And from the looks of it, they still don't accept the new rules."
"Well, I've been in the mirror realm before," Amanda pointed out. "The fairies accepted me."
"Not the water fairies," Mirror Samson pointed out, then froze when the two heard rustling from around the woods nearby. It was only now that the two recognized the area. The woods were matted with water, the leaves were a light blue color, and there were rivers and lakes close together.
"We're in the water sprites territory now," Mirror Sam whispered, though Amanda already knew it was true.
The two heard the sound of footsteps on marshy ground, and they could barely make out dark shadows moving in the woods, trying to keep out of sight. When the two caught sight of a water sprite on land, it quickly vanished out of sight.
"Hello?" Amanda asked, trying to call out to the fairies. One large shadow started moving towards Amanda through the dark forest, but Mirror Samson stepped in its way.
"The human is with me," Mirror Sam said, blocking the mirror fairy. Quickly, the water sprite vanished out of view, and the two heard a splashing sound as it dove into the lake.
"Why are you here?" A voice whispered from the riverside.
"We just wanted to deliver a message," Mirror Sam said, shrugging. "Well, I did, the human just came along with me. It's from the forest fairies."
When he got no response, Mirror Sam said, "There are new rules here, and if you see a human, you may not harm him or her, or try and drive them out. This dimension belongs just as much to them as it does to us fairies now."
"The mirror dimension belongs to us," Came the harsh reply. "Humans have no place here." Amanda shrunk down behind Mirror Sam, who stood up tall.
"The other fairies accept it," Mirror Sam said firmly. At that, several heads emerged from the lake.
"We don't," one of the water fairies said. Mirror Samson glared at the water sprites.
"I don't care whether you accept it or not," Mirror Samson said, folding his arms. "Just stay out of trouble. You don't any problems with the other fairies, do you?"
"Leave us!" The water sprites all shouted, and they started moving towards the land.
Mirror Samson backed away. He knew that, individually, a water fairy couldn't take on a forest fairy such as himself. But with their huge numbers, and him being alone, he knew he had no power over them now.
"Let's go," Mirror Sam whispered to Amanda. Taking her hand, he led her away from the lake. The water sprites watched them leave, and they then dived back into the lake and vanished beneath the surface.
