Al Drin Hoshizora: For a year.
I am a burglar:...She doesn't have wings.
Mirror Isabella soared over the valley, silently seething in rage at the judge's actions.
How dare the other fairies exile her from her home? And solely to compensate for causing the water fairies so much hardship. She scoffed to herself; the forest fairies didn't even like the water fairies; why should they care what happens to them?
As she looked down at the valley she was leaving, she felt a pang of fear as a wave of questions flooded her mind. What awaited her outside the only home she'd ever known? Danger? What were the other fairies like? How many forest fairies lived outside the valley?
She was broken out of her thoughts when she heard voices from below. Staring down, she could see multiple fairies in the valley all looking up at her.
"Look!" One fairy called out, pointing a finger at her. "It's that freak Mirror Isabella!"
"They finally got rid of her, huh?" Another fairy asked.
"About time," A third chimed in.
Mirror Isabella gritted her teeth, infuriated at the insults. Unexpectedly, several of the fairies started firing energy blasts at her out of spite. The young fairy suddenly found herself zipping through the air to avoid getting blasted out of the sky.
Mirror Isabella's face darkened, and she accelerated the speed of which she was flying. Suddenly, she actually wanted to get out of the valley; she knew now that her reputation, which had already been in shambles due to prior events, had now been utterly destroyed.
Perhaps she could build a new one outside the valley.
"Finally, she's gone!" David exclaimed to his siblings once they returned to their house in the human world. "About time we got rid of her. Screw that hospital; banishment is what we should have done to her when she first tried to destroy Crystal City!"
"Couldn't agree more!" Isabella declared, and she and David high-fived each other.
Sam watched the two, scratching the back of his head uncomfortably. "I don't know, you guys," He mumbled, shrugging his shoulders. "I mean, she was our sister and all. . ."
"Oh, come on, Sam," David said, turning to him with an exasperated look in his eyes. "I know you like Bella and all, but you got to face facts: she was a jerk."
"And evil," Janet added.
"Yeah, that too," David replied, folding his arms.
Sam frowned, hanging his head low. Janet, feeling empathy for her brother, rested a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Sam, it's only for a year," She consoled him. "Think about it. When we're David's age, she'll be allowed to come back-"
"-And continue ruining our lives," David both interrupted and finished Janet at the same time. Janet turned to face her brother, a flat look on her face.
"Not helping," She said bluntly.
"Hey, I try," David said, giving a half-hearted shrug.
Sam sighed. "I don't know," He said, rubbing his arm. "I mean, she's out there all alone. She's probably so scared and angry. Who knows what's happening to her?"
Mirror Isabella landed in front of a massive, dark forest, staring at it in mild satisfaction. This was a different forest, lying on the very outskirts of the valley she called home. The two were so close together that Mirror Isabella could actually see her home valley from a distance away.
Turning back in the direction she'd came from, Mirror Isabella shrugged to herself.
"They told me to leave the valley," She mumbled to herself. "But they didn't say how far."
At that moment, she formed a plan to herself. She would stay in this particular forest for a year until her exile had been abolished. It was close to the valley; at the very least, she could see what the other fairies were up to from there. And since they were so close anyways, perhaps this forest could still feel like home. It looked nearly identical to the valley, anyways.
Mirror Isabella grinned to herself. She'd make friends in this forest, and gain their trust. Then, she could send them to the valley to see what the other fairies were doing, so she wasn't completely unaware of their affairs. So when she returned, she wouldn't be caught so off-guard by how things had changed.
Mirror Isabella then frowned to herself as a new, depressing thought entered her mind: how much would things change when she returned. A year was a rather long time; heck, less than three years ago, she'd made a dent in the valley's history by nearly killing Amanda, the one human girl who'd been aware of the Mirror Dimension and its whereabouts. It had been so relatively recent, but it had permanently ingrained itself in the valley's history, even with the revelation that Amanda had never died.
So, when a year passed, how much would everyone have changed, with her not being there to do anything about it. Would she even recognize her siblings once she returned?
Mirror Isabella shook her head to clear her thoughts. She was being paranoid; her siblings were still her siblings, and they'd always be. She needn't concern herself with these matters; all that mattered now was making a new home in her unfamiliar surroundings.
Taking a deep breath, Mirror Isabella whispered, "This is it."
Then, after a moment's hesitation, she walked into the forest, and into an unknown future.
