"She what?!"

Sam's pupils shrunk a bit and he started trembling. He was used to Mirror Isabella getting angry at him, but at that point, for some reason, he felt much for fearful. However, he realized trying to sugar-coat things to her would enrage her even more, so he had to be straightforward.

"Brenda Collins came over for dinner or something, and she found out I was with them, and I ran away with Janet, but she caught up with us and she took a picture of Mirror Samson in the river," Sam reluctantly explained and then shut his eyes, awaiting whatever Mirror Isabella was going to do to him in response.

After a few moments passed and he noticed that no blow had come, Sam slowly opened his eyes to see Mirror Isabella staring off into space. For a few moments, Sam saw her eyes darken. And not figuratively, her eyes literally went black for a few moments before returning to its regular shade.

Mirror Isabella turned to Sam with a mixture of horror and idealization on her face. Sam didn't like that look; every time Mirror Isabella had that look on her face it meant she was planning something, something which he usually wouldn't like.

"Oh dear, Brenda found out our secret!" Mirror Isabella cried, placing her hands over her eyes. "That means she'll tell others our secret, and everyone will want to try and capture you!"

"I know, but what are we going to do?" Sam asked nervously.

"We should leave, right now!" Mirror Isabella abruptly suggested. "Well get Bella and Mirror Samson and go over to Pandora's place to stay."

Sam's face went blank. Had it been a week ago, before he had met Janet and David, he would of instantly agreed to this. Not only was Mirror Isabella his older sister, but nearly everyone who knew him thought he was a hobo and a freak, and he knew very well what would happen if Brenda told anyone his secret. So what was the point of staying?

But, alas, it wasn't a week ago. By now, he had not only met Janet, who had quickly accepted him and his abilities, but had also formed a friendship with him. And now Sam felt that he couldn't leave her.

"Uh, I'm sorry Mirror Isabella, we can't go," Sam quickly stated. The expression on Mirror Isabella's face changed. Previously she wore a look of anticipated glee, awaiting Sam's answer, but now she looked dumbstruck and confused.

"What, do you mean, we can't go?" Mirror Isabella asked. "Pandora would gladly let us stay with her family. And nobody likes you in that dumb city anyways, why stay?"

Sam shifted his eyes nervously. "It's just, things have been a little better for me these last few days," Sam explained. The moment he said those words he realized he should of rephrased them better.

Mirror Isabella narrowed her eyes at Sam and glared down at him, burrowing into his soul. "Oh, things have been better for you these last few days, you say?" She hissed at him. "After all, your worst enemy has just found out your secret, and could expose it to the whole city. Things have become a whole lot better!"

"It's not that, it's just..." Sam didn't know how to explain things to his sister without vexing her even more, so he stopped talking to await Mirror Isabella's response.

Mirror Isabella's eyes widened as realization dawned upon her. "Oh, I see," She said angrily. "You've stayed with that Barret family and now you like them better than your real family!"

"No, that's not it!" Sam shouted but he realized Mirror Isabella wasn't listening.

"You've become friends with that precious little girl and you don't want to part with her!" Mirror Isabella accused. "And you'll put your brother and sisters in danger just to stay with her!"

"No, I don't want to put you in danger!" Sam argued back. Mirror Isabella gripped his shoulders and began shaking him.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Mirror Isabella asked. "Come with us, and we can forget that Brenda found out about your powers!"

Sam gritted his teeth in pain and fear. Mirror Isabella's nails were beginning to needle into his skin. Her bright blue eyes now looked cold and apathetic as she stared into his own eyes.

"Why would you need to stay in the city?" She asked. "Everything you need is with ME and your siblings!"

"I know but-" Sam started but was cut off.

"You're a mirror person, Samson Crystal, and you belong in the Mirror Dimension!" Mirror Isabella shouted, squeezing Sam's arms.

"Stop it!" Sam shouted, freeing himself from Mirror Isabella's grasp. Before she could say anything more, he flew off away from Mirror Isabella's house. He didn't know where he was going, he just had to get away from her.

Mirror Isabella remained at her house, staring at Sam as he slowly disappeared from view.

"I told you his friendship with that girl would lead to trouble."

Mirror Isabella grimaced. The voice was back. But this time, she didn't feel like fighting it off. Her eyes went black again, but this time, they didn't revert back to her regular color.

David ran off through the forest towards the mirror. Since leaving Brenda, he had taken off to find his sister and Sam and see if they were okay.

He had only been led to the mirror once, but he had already pinpointed its location. Soon enough, he found it lying next to the tree.

Pushing the branches off the mirror, David dove inside the mirror and landed in the Mirror dimension. Getting to his feet, he looked around, trying to find any sign of where Janet or Sam had ran off to.

"Janet? Sam?" He shouted. When he received no answer, he pushed open the door leading to the hallway and ran through it. The hallway seemed bigger now, and David noticed a few pathways he hadn't seen on his first visit.

"Where are you, Janet?!" David shouted again, but received no answer once more. He pushed open one door, and found himself in a large room with a stage. He noticed some black and blue balloons floating around, along with some ribbons.

"Looks like somebody's holding a party soon," David commented. However, he found no trace of Janet there so he lost interest and was about to leave when he heard a rustling sound.

"Janet?" He whispered hopefully. Turning back, he re-entered the room to find the source of the sound. He soon found himself standing in front of a pile of boxes. The rustling sound grew louder and the boxes started shaking.

"Um…" David said and began to back off, realizing whatever was behind the boxes wasn't Janet.

However, he wasn't quick enough.

The boxes were smashes away and two small woodpeckers zoomed out towards David. One second before the birds collided with him, David noticed that while one woodpecker looked normal, the other was a blue counterpart to it.

David screamed in shock as the two woodpeckers tackled him to the ground with shocking strength. David was slammed onto his back and the two woodpeckers began pecking at his skin and ripping his clothing.

"No, stop!" David shouted, but the woodpeckers continued pecking and ripping at him. Occasionally, one of the birds would pick him up and toss him a few feet with his beak.

David soon found himself on his stomach as the woodpeckers began dragging him around. However, before the birds could continue their assault, a blue beam was fired out at the birds, accompanied by a familiar voice shouting, "Get away from him, you stupid birds!"

Instantly, the birds flew off and vanished, leaving a bruised and cut David on the floor. "Worst day ever," He groaned. He then got up and looked around to see who had rescued him. His eyes soon landed on his saviour.

David's eyes widened in shock as he found himself staring face-to-face with Samson's reflection, who was similarly baffled.

"Well, this day just got a whole more awkward," Mirror Samson muttered.
