AlecReyes19: Well, Amanda's injury did happen two years ago. Plenty of time for her to recover.
A-Plus Cassiopeia: It means Mirror Isabella has two distinct personalities that control her at different times. There were hints to this before, like when she would appear to talk to herself or when her eyes went dark.
BookMast3r: Yep, you were right about Amanda. And yeah, you could say it's like Gollum, just not as severe.
And now, for anyone who couldn't guess where Amanda was in Chapter 10, I'll just reveal it here: She was the nurse's assistant.
"What do you mean Mirror Isabella has a split-personality?" David asked, growing more horrified as he began to fully comprehend what was happening.
"She developed it sometime after we moved out of the orphanage," Isabella explained, and streaks of tears began to stream down her face. "I think the pain and guilt she got from killing Amanda got to her, and the stress was too much..."
Under normal circumstances, David would have scoffed at the idea that Mirror Isabella would actually feel guilt from hurting anyone. But right now, things were gravely serious.
"When Mirror Isabella's other personality takes over, she becomes more violent and impulsive," Isabella continued. "Her eyes turn pitch black whenever it happens."
David began to pale as he remembered when he'd gotten into that fight with Mirror Isabella when she hurt Janet. He now realized that he'd been clashing with her other, more dangerous personality.
Before Isabella could continue, there was a bright flash from out the window. "What the-!" Isabella shouted as she and David hurried to the window to see what was happening.
Outside, the two saw what looked like a blue wave engulfing half the city, being omitted by a bright beam in the forest. The beam was covering more of the city every second.
"What is that?!" David shouted, his voice rising unnaturally high in his panic.
"Oh no," Isabella whispered, clutching her head. "It's Mirror Isabella. Her other personality must've taken over!"
Isabella began to stumble around the room, clutching her head in pain. Initially, David didn't take notice as he was too busy watching the whole city be engulfed by the beam. However, when he saw blew sparks begin to fly behind him, that was when he spun around to see what was happening to Isabella.
Isabella was thrashing around on the ground in agony, screaming in pain. A few blue sparks were flying from her body, and David sprang away in surprise. Two bright beams shot out of Isabella's eyes, followed by a large beam shooting from her mouth. Throughout all of this, David crammed himself into the corner of the room, genuinely terrified.
Then, Isabella's body began to transform into a light blue, followed by her hair, which turned blue and became longer. A blue light omitted from her body, and Isabella got to her feet, her head hanging low.
When she raised her head, David found himself faced with the piercing blue eyes of Mirror Isabella.
David opened his mouth and took in gasping breaths, silently screaming. His eyes were as wide as they could be, and he was backing himself up like a cornered rat. Mirror Isabella was now floating in the air, and her eyes went dark, and David felt like his blood had turned to ice.
"You...this is all your fault, and your sister, too," Mirror Isabella sneered, and David knew instantly that it was her other personality that was currently in control.
David was terrified, but he finally found his voice, and he shot back. "It wasn't me who doomed this city, it was you!" He accused, even in the face of growing danger. "You're going to destroy an entire city because you can't let your little brother go?!"
"Samson doesn't belong with you!" Evil-Mirror Isabella shot back, sparks flying out of her body more rapidly. "The longer he stays with you and your family, the more you'll turn him against me! I'm getting rid of you so you don't take him from me!"
"You don't need my help to turn Sam against you!" David screamed in anger. "You've done all of that yourself!"
"Shut up!" Evil-Mirror Isabella cried out, her eyes glowing in anger. "Just SHUT UP!"
David suddenly regained his fear as he saw that Evil-Mirror Isabella's glowing eyes were trained on him, and they were glowing brighter. Realizing what was about to happen, David took off towards the door and scrambled to open it. Before he could race through it, Evil-Mirror Isabella fired her eye lasers at him. David ducked to avoid the lasers and they blasted the door apart. Instantly, David raced out the door and through the hallway.
As David ran down the hallway, he turned his head around to see Evil-Mirror Isabella float into the hallway and stare at him for a moment. David began to run even faster as he saw Evil-Mirror Isabella open her mouth, and a blew flame omitted in it. Immediately, a blast of fire was breathed out of Evil-Mirror Isabella's mouth and raced towards David, who ripped the door open and raced through it before slamming it shut. Before he could resume running down the stairs, the door was blasted apart, sending David flying down the stairs and onto the floor below.
Groaning in pain, David got to his feet, and he could feel blood oozing from his knee. In spite of the pain resonating from his leg, David hobbled down the stairs as he felt the blue flames begin to burn through the walls of the orphanage.
"What's happening?!" Brenda cried out in terror as the building caught fire in seconds. The three were surrounded by massive blue flames as they spread through the hallways.
"Look out!" Sam cried as he tackled Brenda and Amanda to save them from being crushed by falling debris. The orphanage had been around for decades, and its old age was finally catching up to it as a result of the fire.
"This building won't hold up for long!" Amanda cried out as the building was being engulfed by flames. Brenda looked around the room in a panic, trying to find some exit, and her eyes landed on an open window.
"There, the window!" Brenda shouted to alert Sam and Amanda. the window was being blocked by a wall of fire, but it was their only viable escape exit. Without hesitation, Sam picked up Brenda and Amanda and carried them towards the window and dove through it before the flames overtook them.
The three crashed onto the ground outside, where a crowd had gathered around the flaming building.
Scrambling to his feet, Sam shouted out, "David? Isabella?!"
"Who's Isabella?" Brenda asked as she struggled to get to her feet. Before Amanda or Sam could answer her, a nearby window was smashed open, followed by David diving out of it. The crowd gasped in shock as David went plummeting downwards.
"Oh my gosh!" Sam shouted as he jumped up and caught David before he fell. Floating onto the ground, Sam laid David onto the ground. Part if his jacket was on fire, his knee was bleeding, and he had a few scrapes, but he was otherwise okay.
"Where's Isabella?" Sam asked, concerned.
"She transformed into Mirror Isabella," David mumbled out, dazed from his lucky escape. "She's still in the building."
At that moment, Janet and Ballard raced through the crowd and stopped in front of Sam and David. As Janet got off of Ballard, she looked up and saw the burning building.
Putting her hands on her hips, Janet said, "Okay, what did I miss?"
Suddenly, a window was blown open and Mirror Isabella went flying out of the orphanage, her eyes ablaze with rage. The crowd all looked up at her and immediately, everyone scattered and raced for safety.
David got to his feet, saw Mirror Isabella hovering towards them, and then turned to Janet to answer her question.
"Little sister, you haven't missed anything."
