"Now, would you please explain what was that?" Bill asked me.

"Am. . . what's this?" I asked him.

"Oh, the shack? It's our new home!" he told me.

"Really? That's so big! How much did you pay for it?" I asked him.

"That's not important." he said.

"Well that's not true." I mumbled.

"C'mon, let's go inside and see it!" he told me.

We both went inside, I was impressed by how many rooms it had.

"We're going to fill every single of this rooms." he told me.

"I wonder how." I mumbled.

"First, let's find a room us!" he exclaimed.

"Same room or separate ones?" I asked.

"I was thinking in the same room, but if you want separate ones we can find two different rooms." he said.

"No, let's stay in the same room." I said.

Don't let him know about the mirror.

He's my brother, he won't do any harm.

Okay! I won't tell him! Please stop..

Thanks, and sorry.

It's. . .okay. . . Still, I need answers.

I'll give you answers once we meet personally.

When will that happen?

No response.

"Will? Are you okay?" Bill asked me.

"Huh? Yeah, I just daydreamed for a moment." I said.

"Daydreaming? Of what?" he asked me.

"Imagine if we had powers and could change this whole world. . ." I said.

"That would be like an incredible fantasy dream!" he told me, "Maybe we could make a reality where we could be loved." he suggested.

"And make the ones that harmed us suffer." I thought to myself.

"But that sounds like nothing but a dream." Bill said.

"Yeah, you're right." I replied.

We went to find a room for the two of us, the biggest room sounded like a great option. "Let's put a bed here and the other one here!" Bill said.

"Sounds good to me, I want to stay away from the window." I told him.

"Great! I got the best view." he told me.

Sometimes I wonder how are we twin brothers, we are so different. He is confident, brave, strong, handsome, cool. And I'm timid, a coward, weak, not that good looking and quiet.

That doesn't sound like the truth, William.

I'm glad you appeared.

Oh, are you? That's a surprise.

Tell me, how can I find you?

You just need to do one thing to find me.

What is it?

Close your eyes, relax your mind, walk through the fog, don't look back, open the door.

Wait, fog? Door? What door are you talking about?

Hello?

Please answer me!

Ugh. . .

"Earth to Will." my brother called me again.

"Huh?" I mumbled.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked me.

"Uh. . . yeah, I just. . . nevermind, I'm fine. Do you need any help?" I asked.

"Nah, let's put our sleeping bags on the floor." he said.

"Okay" I replied.

We put our sleeping bags on the ground together with some decoration.

"I'm going to the market, want something?" Bill asked me.

"For you to not pick a fight. . ." I told him.

"Says the one who got chased by an old man." he told me.

"I didn't pick a fight with him! I just defended myself." I replied.

"So you did attack him!" he said, surprised.

"Maybe. . ." I replied.

"That's my little bro! I'm proud of you!" Bill said.

"Is that really something to be proud of?" I asked.

"You stood up for yourself!" Bill said.

"And ran like a coward after." I mumbled.

"Well, he seemed to be strong, you did what you thought was right to do." Bill told me.

"I guess. . ." I said.

"Now you reminded me, why was that man so mad at you?" he asked.

"Can you buy orange soda?" I asked him.

He gave me a stare, noticing I was dodging the question, he sighed, I hope he decided to ignore it. Sure, I'll bring us some soda." he said.

I'm really sorry, brother, but. . . I can't tell you about the mirror, I trust you, but for some reason the voice doesn't.

Also, the echoes hurt a lot, I wish they'd never repeat!

Can't promise anything.

Do you hate me?

I can't hate who I just met, besides, you just saved me.

Saved you? How? By not giving Fiddleford the mirror?

Yes.

How exactly that saved you?

It's complicated, for now I need you to trust me.
