Into The Shadow Realm | Rascal x fem reader story 2023

21| Mirror Mirror [Part II]

10 whole pages in the last two days!?!?! Where has all this motivation come from?

"I will go down and retrieve it." You say, and everyone's head spins to you.

"Well if you're sure," snarls Ulric.

"Remember not to look at your reflection!" Calls the troll, still obviously traumatised from the experience.

When they all disappear, it is Rascal's turn to speak.

"You do realise that I will have to be the one to teleport you?~"

"Yes, I assumed you would."

The joker sighs, then thinks out loud, "I guess there will be a lot of negative energy around, Brooha's invention might actually be useful."

"Let us go then, come on." Before thinking, you reach out to take Rascal's wrist, secretly enjoying how flustered this makes him as he pretends not to notice.

The jester looks you up and down, eyes narrowing as if carrying the remains from last night, but lets you hold his wrist. "But what about ~!?"

"Forget the dream alright? I got sleep and that is what matters."

But the fact remains that you have not forgotten how you turned last night, the thought and imagery haunts you.

Soon you land on a familiar sight. The school grounds, where the Glitter Force go to school.

Rascal summons ink, then swipes it on the page, beginning an unhappy ending. The students drop, surrounded in and emitting a deep purple energy.

"I will search for the mirror."

The joker giggles. "Enjoy!~"

You soar through the now empty school building, passing the occasional passed out student draining negative energy.

"Kelsey!" Comes a call. You recognise Glitter Breeze's voice just out some doors.

You turn to teleport onto the roof for a better view, and that is when your eyes snap onto the group. All the girls have run out a nearby door, then stop as the one with red hair, Glitter Sunny, sprints off in a frown into some nearby trees.

"Anyone could have made that mistake Kelsey!" Glitter Breeze calls.

Glitter Peace chimes in. "Yeah! Please come back!"

"I'm sure she didn't notice a thing!" Shouts Glitter Spring.

But the girl has run too far away to hear any of them. She runs into the nearby forest and the others stay at the door.

"She'll come back soon."

"I still think someone should go and comfort her."

"Sometimes it's better to let a person have time to think Emily."

"Guys," comes Glitter Peace, "the sky!

"The dark zone!"

"Oh no it's Rascal again!"

"We need to warn Kelsey!"

"I'll text her."

The voices all trail back inside as they rush to grab their compacts, whereas you soar towards the forest.

A glimpse of orange against the brown of the forest instantly points the girl out. Kelsey – or Glitter Sunny – has fortunately found the regenerated mirror, using one hand to pick it up from the ground, and the other to wipe recently fallen tears on her cheek.
