Mirror Kingdom

-How are you feeling?

-I don't understand how i got here in the first place...- Cassey was trying to breath normal, just to cope with all what's happening.

-You said something about a lady? What was her name.... uhm...

-Mrs. Cleveland, she was the one who sent me here.

-How did she do that?

-Honestly, i thought she was crazy.

-Wait, let's start with the basics now shall we?- Ruby sat on the edge of the bed.- what happened when we disapeared?

-Well,- Cassey closed her eyes to remember what excactly happened,- basically the shopping mall cannot be sued. Even if it's their fault, that you went missing. They had some sort of footage from the changing rooms, and i saw a peek of it.

Devina went to pour some juice, when a knock on the door stopped her.

-Yes?

-It's Rose, may i come in?

-Yes, Rose, the doors are always opened.

She came in with a tray.

-I thought you may like something warm,- she watched Cassey closely when she walked out. Devina noticed that, but didn't say anything.

-And after?- Ruby asked.

-At the police station grandma and grandpa came and we went home. God, im so dumb!

-Don't say that. We two have something to tell you.

-Yeah, loads! What the heck is this place, who the heck are the „princes and kings", it's like what the actual fuck!?

Devina wanted to laugh, she hadn't even been in the kingdom for such a long time, but she knew most of the stuff, what was going on.

-OK, this is Mirror Kingdom.

-I get that, i saw,- Cassey made a joke, when Ruby and Devina made their facial expressions we-don't-quite-follow, she explained,- the mirrors in that hall, and in other halls, they have like billions of them.

-Yeah, i haven't thought about it, must be the reason why.

-Nathan is the prince,- Devina handed both a cup of the steaming liquid, which she was sure, she won't drink, and let Ruby tell Cassey everything.

-And then there is Demos, who is the king, - Ruby said.

-So, you like him,- Cassey asked,- i mean, like like him.

-No, he's a good friend.

-A friend, and that's it?

-Yep.

-And Nat? What's with him?- Cassey asked, she was more interested in Nathan, cause he was a fine peace of meat, as far as she was concerned.

-He was looking for a wife, and that's why we got here in the first place.

-Believe it or not, Devina will be his wife.

-Oh, my god! Im so happy for you, he is handsome and sure irresistable.

-I guess,- Devina smiled.

-And you just have to marry him, not knowing who he is and all?

-Well he said, we will have more talks, just to know each other a bit more.

-You may seem this is simple, but it isn't,- Ruby was serious.

-Whatcha mean?

-I hit your hand, remember? They have some kind of curse.

-It's never simple, every sexy guy has to have a dark past, now, right? What type of curse?

-They can never touch a woman, without burning them.

-Now, that's messed up.

-Tell me about it.

-But apparently all is gone, when the true loves kiss happen, and as for that, yesterday...

- ..We had a ball and we kissed for the first time, and it was the true loves kiss.

-So, it means, his curse is broken?

-Im not sure. It should be. I have to ask,- Devina made herself remember to ask Nathan that.

-I missed all the fun,- Cassey laughed,- and how do we get back?

-We don't.

-Uhm, what?

-There is no way to get back, the Wizard said, that mirror chose us.

-That's some bullshit.

-It isn't. We are stuck here, and it seems to be forever.
