Daniel paced around his study when he hears a knock. He rushes to the front door and opens the door to see Ted barely sweating, carrying Mia in his arms.

"What, did you stop to grab a beer?"

"I see where Mia got her knack for sarcasm."

"That's what happens when you make me watch her. Now get in so I can start fixing the barrier."

Ted nods and heads to the study without any help from Daniel. Once he was in the study, Ted lays Mia on the sofa and brushes away the hair from her face.

Daniel places a hand on Ted's shoulder "Don't worry ol' chap. She's going to be fine."

"I hope so."

"I don't know how long this will take but you better get yourself comfortable."

Daniel took a seat by the head of the sofa and places his hand on Mia's head. "We'll fix you up in no time Amelia."

Mia slowly opened her eyes moaning a little at the sudden brightness. She sits up and takes a look around; whiteness surrounding her that seems to go on forever.

"What is this place?"

"Your mind or is it my mind? Our mind?"

Mia whips her head around "Who said that?"

"I did."

Mia turns her head back to see an exact version of her with the only difference between the two were their eyes; one pair showed brightness and love while the other showed coldness and danger. She stands up and walks closer to the double. Lifting her hand she tries to touch the double's hand but something blocked them, like a very thin glass stood between them.

"It's just a mirror" Mia concludes.

"You'd like that wouldn't you?"

Mia jumps back in shock "Who or what the hell are you?"

"I'm you or rather the one the Shadows created. You can call me Labiwa to keep this simple."

"What?"

"You've never noticed?" Mia didn't respond "Wow. Anyway, whenever we fought in the Cage I was the one in control and we were so close to joining the League of Shadows. When I was about to kill Jade, you just had to take control and stop the fight didn't you. Why couldn't you just let me finish her off?"

"I couldn't kill someone just to be some damn assassin."

"But that wasn't the real reason. The only reason why you killed was to save our brothers and sister but since you stopped me from doing so, they were killed because of you."

Mia shakes her head "No, they're still alive. I've seen the boys and I know in my heart that Ana is alive."

"You're such a naïve little twit. Believe in whatever you want but if you ever want to know the truth, just come find me."

Before Mia could speak, the glass starts to darken cutting off their interaction. Mia was stunned while Labiwa just smirked.

"You can't always be there to protect her Danny boy. One day I'll be free and you won't be able to stop me."

Daniel appears behind Mia "Then I guess I'll have to make sure that day never comes. Mia step away from her."

"Danny? What's going on?"

"Mia darling please listen to me. Get away from her."

"Not until you tell me the truth."

"Yeah Danny boy, tell her why there's this glass between us."

"Mia I promise to tell you everything but please for all that is good in the world walk away from her" Daniel pleads.

Mia looked from Labiwa to Daniel actually debating on who she should listen to.

"Come on Mia. Why should you listen to him? He didn't experience what we've been through and doesn't know our pain. Stay here with me, I'm the only one who's been with you the entire time" Labiwa whispers.

"Shut your mouth you bloody snake! Mia don't listen to her, she just wants to take control of your body and harm everyone in your life. I'm begging you please come with me, everyone needs you to come back."

Mia looks at Daniel again to see unshed tears, love and friendship while looking at Labiwa again she saw a spark of evil behind them. She took a step back from Labiwa and walks to Daniel's side. Labiwa laughs as the glass continues to darken and before it completely went black, she made a chilling comment.

"This won't be the last time you'll see me. I'll be back when the time is right."

The glass turned black as tar completely blocking Mia's view of Labiwa and vice versa. She looks at Daniel to see relief on his face and a smile too.

Daniel holds out his hand "Let's go home Mia."

"Danny, I don't want to know the truth about her" Mia takes his hand.

"And you won't unless you ask me about her" Mia nods "Now come on, ol' Teddy Bear is waiting for you."

"Ok Danny" Mia lightly chuckles.

Ted had been waiting for Daniel to get Mia back for the past six days. "Come on Daniel." Soon he hears a soft moan and turns to see Mia stirring and Daniel looking worse for wear. He walks over to the duo with relief on his face.

"Hey Kid, you gave us quite a scare" Ted smiles.

"I didn't mean to Uncle Ted."

"I know you didn't. Now go head up stairs and take a well deserved hot bath."

"You got it."

Mia slowly got up and made her way out of the study. When the door closed, the atmosphere became more tense. Daniel leans back in his chair, exhausted from the ordeal and Ted was worried.

"Why did you take so long to fix the barrier?"

Daniel took shallow breathes "She saw and talked to her."

Ted paled "What did she say to her?"

"I don't know. I couldn't get there in time to intervene."

"How did Mia handle it?"

"I think she was ok but when that killer was whispering in her ear, Mia hesitated between coming with me or staying with her. Ted, we were this close to losing her and if she had stayed behind then everyone would be dead."

"We have to keep Mia away from Labiwa, for her sake."

"And we will. Now go take care of our girl ya bloody Yank."

"So bossy" Ted opened the door "Sloppy Joe and whiskey?"

"Do you have to ask?"

Ted shakes his head muttering "Damn Brit" and left the study.

Daniel sighs heavily and rubs his tired face. "That was too close. Labiwa was stronger this time and I pray that she's not stronger the next time around."
