Y/N walked through the castle. Tonight was ... quiet. Much to quiet. The servants were silent. Their footsteps didn't even make a sound as they tapped against the marble floors.

An oddity in itself.

They didn't acknowledge her presence.

That was also odd. The servants of the castle loved her. They always greeted her or asked if she was doing well.

She wandered down the halls towards the throne room. " I'm coming in! Why is everyone so gloomy tonight?" She asked, pushing open the doors. But, of course, it was also empty. She stopped in her tracks. Six thrones, all empty. She only expected her own to be empty.

The queen and her best friend were gone. Her husband was also gone. His snarky comments echoed quietly in her mind. Telling her she was late enough and rolling his eyes playfully.

To their immediate right, the third crowned prince was gone, and so was his adorable companion and soon to be engaged lover. Their playful banter was just void of the room, and that reached tothrought the castle. Even parts of the kingdom.

To the queen and kings immediately left, Y/N's husband was missing. His sparky, smart-ass comments and sharp eyes and wisdom were missing. Though he came off as an asshole, he truly wasn't. He just wasn't used to being loved in return. Odd for a former king. He had stepped down to give his second brother reign. He was the second crowned prince. Her place was beside him. I love him and spread kindness and love to everyone else as well.

These elements made up their kingdom, and without them, it felt as if she were in an echo of what the castle should be. Alone.

But why?

Where were they?

" You shouldn't be awake, little one. " A ragged voice crept through the silence, breaking it entirely. " Howww, have you managed to wake?" He asked.

She turned to look around the room and gasped hearing it. Not even her own feet make a sound. " Who is there? "

" Not important. I asked you a question."

" I refuse to answer it. " Shencrossed her arms over her chest. " Now it with it! As a crowned ruler of this kingdom, I demand you answer me. Why are you in our home?"

The voice cackled, and it echoed through the kingdom. " Because a promise broken is worth the lives of everyone in this kingdom. " It sounded hurt and angry now. " But. I am curious. How have you managed to escape? Everyone is filed away neatly in their own little mirrors. Yet here you are, a shattered doll from a broken dream. " It gritted.

" I can not answer your question. I don't know how I am here. Just that I am. " She spoke carefully. Y/N was known through the kingdom for her abilities. She was a witch like creature herself. They called her a mimic. If she could figure out this creatures ability, she could also take it and use it against it. However, she had no clue what it was.

" Ahh, bidding time? Trying to figure out what I am?" It laughed. " You look small and weak. A timid creature you are. The queen, oh, she was formidable. Hurt me quite a bit before I snagged her. " Shadows in the mirror began to move around and take form.

" The King was very angry. He's cracked his mirror several times, trying to escape. " It chuckled. " It won't do him any good. I will just craft him a stronger mirror. The onenyou sit beside as well. " It spat in her direction. Literally.

" The other two, they were easy and cute. So I put them in the same mirror together. Everyone else is on their own. The whole kingdom. " It stopped and took the form of Y/N herself. " I suppose you can guess what I am now?" She asked withna wicked grin. Her eyes glowed red, and cracks of red went through her skin.
