Mr.Leo...
Mr. Leo is an old man who has both wealth and popularity.. He had a wife but she died in a car accident, and he has a daughter named Ella, but she lives in another country now.
Mr. Leo lived in a big mansion, with his servants only. He had a love for unique things and enjoyed going to public auctions, doing business deals and having huge parties.
After the auction where he bought the magical mirror, he decided to host a huge party in his big mansion, inviting everyone he knows.
He placed the magical mirror in the ball room and made all the arrangements for his big party.
**Meanwhile inside the mirror...
Clara was hiding in a big tree in the woods, so scared and sad.. She didn't understand why everything in this place is nothing like the real world.. That wasn't her family but rather evil shadows of them, looking like them, and speaking like them yet resemble them in nothing else.
She wanted to find a way to escape this world and return to her old life but no matter how hard she searched for the portal back home she couldn't find it..
As she was lost in thought, John hugged her saying " Clara are you okay, I was worried sick why did you run from me? "
"Leave me alone" Clara said taking few steps backward " you are a murderer I saw you killing that poor woman, you're not my real husband."
"what are you talking about, are you okay."
"why are you ignoring what've just said you Are a MURDERER."
"Mommy are you okay?" Sophie said, running towards Clara.
"You are not my daughter, there is something evil about you people STEP AWAY from me." Clara replied.
"Oo Cleraa be a lovely obedient girl and STOP shouting like that." The older version of Clara said.
"What's going on, that's not what you told me about this place, you lied this is hell."
"Oh honey you know nothing about hell, hahahahahaaaa." The old version of Clara said, then strange sounds were heard and suddenly the human shapes of John, Sophie, and Clara's older self changed to the most ugly creatures that one could ever see.
"What ON EARTH are youu." Clara cried
Clara didn't stick to find out, she ran as fast as she could to get away from them and as she was running she heard sounds of people and music, she kept running and running closer towards the origin of these sounds till she found a big door in the woods.
She opened it....
