Mimic

Sorrows

Lila normally was a calm person, but when Astrid called her about Celestia well she kinda freaked. Lila didn't know why she called Lila her only guess was since she was neighbors with Rosa she could contact her easily. This brought her to where they were now. " Thank you both for coming. I didn't know who else could help her." Astrid frowned. " Why us?" Lila asked.
" Personal connections. Rosa is close to Fuschia and you're here for Celestia. " Astrid stated and Lila gave her a surprised look. " Why can't Katrina do it they are a lot closer then I am with anyone except Valeriya though she hasn't been talking to me much." Lila frowned. " If Katrina went in she'd get pulled into Celestia's memories. They're too close." Astrid explained. " So how are we going to bring them back?" Rosa asked. " Easy I'm sending you into their minds." Astrid said. " What do we do once we are in?" Lila asked. " Bring them back to reality now good luck." Astrid told them she placed her hand on Lila's temple and Celestia's. She found herself in a laboratory where there was a brown haired girl strapped to a table and she could see Celestia watching. " This is just your past Celestia let us leave." Lila told her walking over to her friend. " Lila?" Celestia asked her voice cracked slightly. " I'm here. Don't force yourself to relive this." Lila soothed as doctors rushed in and the young girl started screaming. " I can't leave her to suffer this alone." Celestia refused stubbornly. " It doesn't matter now, it won't change anything." Lila stated a little annoyed. " It will for Fuschia!" Celestia glared angrily and Lila realized that the young girl she had originally thought was Celestia was actually Fuschia. The girl's hair was slowly turning purple as she screamed. " She's got Rosa now Celestia please I can't watch this again." Lila basically begged. " Again?" Celestia looked at her confused. Lila was going to answer when they dragged in a younger version of herself her short black hair was completely matted. " Put me back!" Lila screamed with no success as she tried to return to her sister.
" Shut up!" The guard announced slapping her hard on the face. 
" Please let us leave." Lila whispered softly and Celestia gave one last look before grabbing Lila's hand pulling them out of Fuschia's mind. " What was that?" Celestia asked her voice was filled with worry directed towards her. " When I was eight and Samantha was seven we were kidnapped by Toxic Waste. While we were there they were cloning Samantha making her look slightly different, but something went wrong and well Astrid managed to help us get out." Lila answered. Astrid gave her a confused look before her phone started ringing. " Hello?" She answered. " Mimic's my clone, she's here and trying to kill me!" Samantha cried from the line. " Right we'll be there soon hold on. Celestia can you teleport me to my house?" Lila asked. Celestia nodded and Astrid grabbed her hand as Celestia teleported her in front of the white mansion. Samantha was fighting the blonde haired woman a bleeding form lay on the ground her blond hair scattered around her. Mimic looked towards them with a scowl before disapering.
" Alyssia." Samantha cried as she knelt over the figure. They ran over and Astrid placed a hand on her wound, but Alyssia shook her head.
"I've been poisoned Astrid there's no way you can heal this. Besides I've served my time though tell my Rose I love her." Alyssia smiled weakly before her eyes glazed over. Lila let out a sob not believing she just watched someone die. " This is all my fault." Samantha whispered her eyes were filled with tears. " Samantha you tried-" Astrid started, but Samantha cut her off. " Mimic is my fault and I'm going after her." Samantha glared before she too dissapered. " What are we going to tell Rosa."Lila cried her voice completely muffled as sobbs racked her body. " The truth now come on we have to bury her before somebody sees and it goes on the news." Astrid stated picking up Alyssia's body and walking over to the Matthews home. Astrid took her outside as Lila stood there too shocked to say anything. " Thank you." Celestia said hoarsely and Lila gave her a weird look. " For what." Lila asked tears still streamed down her face even though she didn't know Alyssia all that well. " Bringing me out of Fuschia's mind. Your sister will be alright she's a smart girl." Celestia assured her. " No she won't." Lila stated. " When Samantha gets like this she doesn't think and Mimic isn't human. She was made to kill gifted and more specifically to kill Samantha." Celestia looked at her a moment before a look of realization came upon her face. " The clone." Celestia put together. " I don't know how Samantha knew, but if I can count on something it's that if Samantha finds Mimic alone she'll be dead." Lila whispered her voice hitched when she said Samantha's name. Lila walked to her house immeditley calling Valeriya the only one she was really close with.
" Hello?" Valeriya's soft voice asked.
"Samantha's gone." Lila sobbed. " I'll be right there." Valeriya promised and 30 seconds later Valeriya had appeared in her bedroom. " Come here." Valeriya told her gently as Lila flung herself into Valeriya's arms. Her mom was gone on a movie project so she was home alone. She cried into Valeriya's shoulder as the Russian teen whispered soothing words in her native tongue. Finally after an hour or so Lila was finally able to tell Valeriya what happened without completely breaking down. " Do you want me to stay?" Valeriya asked softly her eyes were moist, but Alyssia was a stranger to Valeriya. " Please." Lila said her voice cracking with emotion. " I'm going to go tell my parents I'll be right back." Valeriya promised rushing out of the room. Lila just sat in her room only one thing going on her head. That it was her fault.
