He grimaced then smirked.

He silently shifted back into the terror I've been fighting for ages.

He waved his hand and there they were. Three magical cages in a bright neon green. My friends were capsuled in two, and... The mirror...

"Oh, I can tell reality from fake becuase I, have stayed in this lowly depth of a home for years! I rotted down here for the longest time!!!"

"Talk!" I demanded. My sword materializing.

"I will. Sis. Just give me your amulet and I'll set your friends and the mirror free for you. Ah, you loved betting and trickery as a sibling. Especially your hilarious jokes and pranks." He sighed. Obviously reminiscing. "Sadly, this is an important one you have to deal with wisely..."

I breathed in and exhaled out. Keeping the amulet out of sight. It wasn't as easy thing to do however. I don't know what Flaubert is fully capable of.

Don't do it Heather!!! This is terrible!!! Just leave!!! Don't be a hero with your life!!!

This voice was familiar. Not the evil one that tortures me with the weight of killing somebody. It was... Pitchy... Screeched... It was Pepper...

I took my amulet of my neck. My sword de-materialized in an instant.

Pepper, Sam and the mirror were released.

I slowly gave Flaubert the amulet and he smiled.

"Thank you dear sister..." He smiled maniacally.

I limped towards Sam and Pepper and picked up the mirror.

"Sam, let's go back..." I said.

He nodded and we were teleported back to Snoeshore.

"Why do these things always happen to me?..." I grumbled falling on their couch.

"Oh... It's just... Natural isn't it?..." Pepper said slowly going into the kitchen.

And then I laughed... I wouldn't stop. I went delirious. Probably

Sam looked at me like I was insane... Which I probably was...

"How are you laughing?!" Sam asked outraged. "I mean, geez kid! You just lost your only protection and you won't even allow me to protect you!!!"

Instant silence.

I turned my smile down to the minimum and walked over to Sam and put my hand on his shoulder... I mean, the understanding way.

"Heh, I didn't lose it." I smiled. I materialized my sword in my hand.

Sam looked like he was going to lose it. I pulled my real amulet right out of my neck under my shirt collar.

"It's right here..." I smiled smugly now.

"How?... What did you give him?!" He smiled.

"Oh... Ummm... I'm sorry Pep. I had to give him your communication amulet... Heh. Sorry."

She emerged from the kitchen wearing her apron and frowning. Her frown though, instantly turned into a smile. "It's ok! In fact, It's perfect!!!"

"You pranked the guy?!" He shouted laughing.

"Yep!"

I looked at the mirror I left on the couch. I instantly became silent. I levitated the mirror over to me.

"Would ya... Well... Uh... Well... Welp... I mean... *sigh* Like me to leave you alone Heat?..." Sam asked stuttering a little.

"I told you not to call-"
