Izzy and Brenda strolled down the sidewalk. Brenda was dressed in her regular clothing while Izzy was wearing a black jacket. It was raining, and Izzy was holding an umbrella to cover herself, leaving Brenda out in the rain.

"You think I'm going to get praise for calling the police that rescued Janet?" Brenda asked, spreading her arms out like a bird.

"The police rescued Janet?" Izzy asked, shrugging. "Brenda, you know it wasn't the police that extricated her from that dog. It was someone else."

"Well, who could it have been?" Brenda asked. "How should I know?" Izzy asked, pulling the umbrella closer over her head. "When I arrived there, they just explained that they discovered an unconscious Janet, the deceased dog, and some child who's name hasn't been revealed yet."

"Yeah, why were you out from your house?" Brenda asked. "Um, I wanted to pick up a Hershey bar," Izzy replied. Brenda splashed into a mud puddle, splashing some mud onto Izzy's jeans.

"Brenda, cut that out," Izzy demanded. Suddenly, a car drove by, splashing the whole puddle on both girls. "My jacket!" Izzy shouted as Brenda blew a raspberry at the drivers of the car.

Inside the car, David hugged himself, shivering nervously. During the drive to find Janet, they had received a call explaining what had happened. It had deeply troubled the family.

"Hey, there's the hospital Janet's at," Felix said, pointing at the massive hospital. The car stopped at the sidewalk and the three got out. Izzy and Brenda happened to walk past.

"What are you too doing here?" David asked, irritated.

"Relax, kid, we're just visiting your hospitalized sister," Izzy said. Before David could respond, the two scurried into the hospital. The three then noticed a bunch of other kids and adults entering the hospital as well.

"Yeesh, has my sister getting attacked by a dog really become so famous?" David pondered to himself as he and his parents pushed past the crowd and entered the house.

…..

"Would you like some hot chocolate, Ms. Barret?" A young girl asked Janet, who was lying in bed. She was the nurse's assistant, and had strawberry hair and henna-coloured eyes.

"Yes, I'd like that a lot," Janet nodded. The girl left.

Watching from behind a corner, Sam sighed, exasperated. He had been called to the hospital to be questioned, having been the nearest at the alley during Janet's attack from the Doberman, and he was being allowed to roam the hospital for a few minutes, but forbidden from leaving until his questioning was over.

"How did I get myself into this mess?" He asked himself repeatedly.

At that moment, the door burst open and several kids poured into the room, passing by Sam. Izzy and Brenda were the first to arrive, and Brenda glanced at Sam for a bit before ignoring him. Sam sighed with relief until David appeared.

"There you were," He said. "Where were you? Are you the reason why Janet left? Why did you leave when you were still injured from the truck?"

Sam rolled his eyes. "It is no concern of mine where I was during the time Janet was attacked by that rabid Doberman," He claimed.

"Wait, how do you know she was attacked by a Doberman?" David asked. Sam gulped and then took off before David could say another word.

"That's odd," David said before shrugging and turning to his sister, who was being crowded around by the other children.

"Hey, move over!" David shouted, shoving his way past the other kids. "Get out of here! I'm her brother so I get to talk to her!"

The other kids backed away as David took a seat next to Janet. "So, little sister, I see you have a new arm cast," He said, motioning to the pink cast on her right arm.

"Yeah, I broke my arm real good," Janet said, surprisingly cheerful after having been bitten by a rabid dog, breaking her arm, and being hospitalized.

"Would any of you like to write your signatures on it?" Janet asked the other kids. Izzy shrugged and took out a blue pen, scribbling her name on the cast in cursive. Brenda followed, taking out a pencil and writing her first name down.

As the other kids followed, David asked, "So, Janet, what were you doing out in the city alone?"

"Sam left while you were fighting with the Collins, so I followed him because he would probably get hurt," Janet explained. "Then I went into a dark alley, and met a mean dog that bit me and broke my arm, which is my it's in a cast."

"Well, how did you live?" David asked. "I was told it was a Doberman, and those things are very deadly."

"Sam saved me," Janet said. The other kids stopped writing on Janet's cast. Izzy stared at Janet, confused.

"Who's Sam?" Brenda asked after a while. "None of your freaking business!" David shouted, startling her. He then turned back to Janet and asked, "How did he do that?"

"His hand turned into a blade, and he ran the dog through," Janet explained. A boy sipping on a juice box spit out the drink. Brenda's jaw hit the floor. Izzy raised her eyebrow and rubbed her forehead as she struggled to comprehend what had been said.

"Um, do you think that rabies virus hasn't already messed with her brain?" Brenda asked.

By then, the nurse had arrived. "No, we gave her the rabies shots immediately, so she should be okay," She announced. David sighed with relief before Janet's words entered his mind.

"Um, if you excuse me, I'm going somewhere," He said and scooted out of the room.

"Eh, good riddance," Brenda called out.

…..

"So, what exactly happened?" A police officer asked Sam in an empty room of the hospital.

"I told you, the dog was attacking Janet," Sam said. "We know about that," The officer replied. "You just didn't tell us what happened afterwards."

"Well, I rushed to defend her of course, but the dog went after me and…" Sam trailed off.

"And what?" A second officer asked.

"…And the dog died of the virus before he could bite me, just like that," Sam lied. "That does sound kind of believable, except for one thing, "The officer responded.

"And what would that be?" Sam asked. "The dog had a stab wound which is confirmed to be the most likely cause of its demise," The officer explained.

Sam gulped and told another lie. "Yeah, well, I was holding a glass of water at the time, and when the dog pounced, I dropped the glass and it shattered, and a shard pierced the dog and THEN it died of the virus," He said.

"The stab wound was way bigger than any shard of glass could cause," The officer said.

Sam bit his lower lip nervously. He was running out of explanations. He was just about to give up and explain what really happened when the door was kicked open to reveal David.

"I need to talk to this kid for a moment," David said, "But we're in the middle of an investigation," The officer said.

"You are investigating an eight year old boy?" David said. "Shame on you, piling him with questions and traumatizing him! How dare you! He's just a boy!"

The two officers raised their hands up in defence and backed out of the room slowly. The moment they were gone, David sat down on the chair of one of the officer's.

"T-thanks for saving me," Sam grumbled. "Oh, you're not out of here yet," David said. "You are going to explain how you killed that Doberman and why Janet said you turned your hand into blade.

Sam sighed. "She's delusional," He said simply. "She was suffering from the virus and her broken arm and saw what she wanted to see."

"Okay, then, so I guess you can explain how the dog died?" David said. "From the virus," Sam said confidently. "And what about the stab wound?" David asked. "A shard of glass," Sam answered.

"You weren't holding a shard of glass when you left the house," David said. "And from what Janet said, you stabbed the dog. But you couldn't just smash the glass without getting pricked yourself."

Sam groaned. "Okay, okay, I'll explain," He said. "Janet was attacked by the Doberman, and I came, and using my awesome strength, I punched that dog in the face, and it went flying into a window, crashed on the ground, and the glass shards from the window fell down and stabbed into the dog. There, done, end of story."

David inhaled deeply. "Wow, Sam, that was a very thought out and detailed explanation," He said before adding. "That was totally made-up."

The two boys glared at each other for a moment before Sam said, "You know what, I am not under investigation from the likes of you. I am out of here." With that, he got up and took off out of the room.

David snorted and left the room to follow him. However, down the hallway, he noticed Janet and the other kids watching something.

Sprinting down the hallway, he saw that a television screen was on a stand, with Fright Night playing on the screen.

"Hi, David," Janet said. "Brenda suggested we watch a horror movie to keep me awake."

"I still think we should of watched a G-rated picture," Izzy said, hiding under the covers. David rolled his eyes. Izzy had a fear of ghosts and monsters, a phobia he could not understand.

"Do you want to watch the movie?" Janet asked. David considered it, but heard talking coming from above. "Um, in a moment," He said and took off down the hallways. He recognized that voice. It was Sam's.

He hurried up the stairs. Sam was clearly talking to somebody, but he could not hear the other voice.

"Why did you do it?" He heard the other voice said. "You said it yourself that you didn't like her, why did you save her?"

David reached the top of the stairs and pressed his ear against the door. He noticed that the other voice sounded a lot like Sam.

"I don't know, I guess I just felt compelled to do it," He heard Sam say. He sounded guilty and depressed.

"Mirror Bella wouldn't like it, you know," He heard the other voice say. The voice sounded so much like Sam that David came to the conclusion that Sam was just talking to himself.

David didn't really have much decency to knock on the door, so he instead swung it open to see what was happening. And what he saw amazed him.

Sam was talking to his reflection on the wall. Except the reflection didn't look natural. It resembled Sam, but had light blue skin and glowing blue hair and eyes. The reflection was wearing a blue shirt with a star on it, contrasting Sam's black and blue clothing.

Then the reflection pointed past Sam and at David. Slowly, Sam turned around and his eyes met David's. The two stared at each other in shock.

"Oh, hi David," Sam mumbled. "I, um, didn't see you there."

"Oh my gosh," David whispered in disbelief. "My parents, they were…right. you're a…mirror person."
