Hey, Ally here. We both really need to apologize for taking so long to post this. We started school, got caught up with homework, the finale of this show, and things like that.

Not to mention our school musical, Shakespeare Club, and SuperWhoLock.

Enough of that, on with the story:

Third Person

"Lost?" Claudia echoed. "Lost right into the Dark Vault?"

"That what that was?" Ally asked. She glanced over at Iris for second then back to Claudia.

"Why's it called the Dark Vault?" Iris said forcefully.

"'Cause that's where the really Serious Creepo artifacts go." Claudia answered.

"Like what?" Ally looked horridly frightened.

"Like Alice." Claudia said, trying to end the conversation.

"Alice? Is she maybe trapped in a big mirror? With really creepy designs on it?" Ally asked.

"Why?"

"I think she got out," whispered Ally.

Claudia did a quick sweep of the vicinity. Ally squeezed her eyes shut and wrapped her arms round her legs.

"She's gone." Claudia stated, pulling out the Farnsworth.

"Why do I have the distinct feeling that something really bad happened?" Artie's voice came from the machine.

"It generally does." Claudia said, biting her lip.

"Show. Me. The. Girls." Claudia did as he demanded, showing him Ally.

"Where's Iris?" he demanded.

"Trapped in the mirror." Ally felt all the hairs on her arms stand on end hearing that voice.

"Gotta go, Grumps!" the 20 year old techie quickly slammed the Farnsworth shut. She turned slowly, dreading what was behind her.

"Aww, there's no need to leave him out of the fun." Iris had a smirk on her face, an evil gleam in her eyes.

"What happened to you?" Ally asked tentatively.

"Something bad," she snarled in her direction. "And you," she turned to address Claudia, "You should learn from me, when people trap you, you should take the first opportunity you have to leave, to escape. But don't leave without exacting revenge on those who trapped you, you shouldn't make it quick. You shouldn't make it painless. No, torture them, let them know that you hate every fiber of their being. Let them know that, after this, the only light they'll ever see is in death. You must let them know that you, you, are in charge. Tell them that, make them know, make them feel what you felt." she pulled a knife from a sheath. "That's what I'm going to do."

"Why? Why are you like this? What happened to you to make you like this?'' Ally stood straight now, towering over Iris- Alice.

"It's not my fault! I didn't make myself like this! I didn't kill my mother, I didn't trap myself in a mirror!" Alice shouted back.

"So? So what? If everyone who had something bad happen to them acted like this, there would be no good in the world! You, it's you that doesn't get it. We trapped you for a reason, it's because you were like this. We didn't think it was possible for you to become worse. You're a child! You've done and seen things that no child ever should, and we're sorry. I'm sorry." Ally lamented.

"If you meant it, you'd leave me be!"

"Oh, but that's the thing, someone that you've bodysnatched hasn't once said yes, yes you can take my body and trap me in the mirror, have they?"

"No, but they don't need to."

"Yes! Yes, they do. That's why we keep on trapping you, you're so vengeful. You can't forgive anyone!" Ally's face was flushed red, she was furious.

"But that's the thi-" she was cut off sharply by the sight of her mirror. With a great flash of an iPhone, Iris had her body back, Alice was back in her mirror, and Claudia and Artie were out of breath.

"You, you, and you! You're in trouble!" his voice thundered once they'd gotten the curtain back on it.

Hey, that was really short, but it was there. Hope that was enough for you guys. We'll update again soon. (At least by end of February)
