Shattered

Chapter Four

    Chase woke up with a start clutching his chest. He took a second to breathe and adjust to his new surroundings. He sighed as he laid back down on the cot and covered his face with his arms.

'Is it so hard to ask to have one good day Hyde?'  He removed his arms as he heard something moving about the nurse's office.

"Quite the nasty fall you had there." The nurse stepped around to the front of Chase's cot as she picked up her clipboard. She looked about in her mid 30's and was wearing a pink heart dress and a doctor's mask. Chase tensed up at her arrival and tried to calm down as she hummed and went off to meddle with some things in her desk.

*'Dude, I'm getting a bad feeling about that nurse.'* Chase ignored Hyde as he began to move off the cot.

"Y-yeah. Someone must have pushed me into the locker, I'm sure I'll be fine." Chase gave a small smile as he leaned over to find his backpack.

The nurse gave a hidden grin as she moved over to Chase.

"You should be more careful then, you never know when an injury like this could ruin your life." She pulled back the mask and revealed an eerie grin.

Chase's eyes grew wide at the sight of her smile. "N-no. it can't b-"

"Nox." The nurse's eyes narrowed as she spoke the word and took a step away from Chase, her smile never faltering.

Chase's eyes grew wide at the sound of the word and felt that burning sensation. The fire within him trying to fill his insides until he had no choice but letting it out. He sprung off the bed and wet over to the sinks to try to splash some water on his face. He gave one look in the mirror before everything turned red and he felt Hyde take over.

Hyde took one look in the mirror and saw the nurse behind him as she transformed into her original form. Long pink and purple hair covered part of her face while she donned a black and white dress with spiked heels. She placed her hands on her hips as Hyde turned to face her.

"Miss me?"

*"Hardly."* It was now Hyde's turn to ignore Chase as he strode over to her and slammed his fist in the wall next to her head; she barely flinched.

"What do you want witch?" Hyde's voice gave away that he was in no mood to play around. Mira simply moved his hand from the wall like it was a fly.

"Now now boys, is that anyway to treat an old friend?"

"You're hardly an acquaintance. Now, what. Do. You. Want?" Hyde got closer to Mira with every word as his eyes burned a darker red showing his anger getting stronger.

"So impatient." Mira turned into a mist and appeared behind the boys on the cot as she raised her hands revealing chains around them. "I want out of the mirror realm."

*"Like we can do that."* Hyde smiled a cocky smile as he leaned against the wall. "Sorry queeny, no can do. Chase and I made sure of that when we destroyed the lab."

"My crown you imbeciles. It's still there." Mira grew impatient with them. Her body seemed to grow dimmer and she grew serious. "Here's my deal boys bring me my crown and I won't destroy what's let of your life."

*"No deal."* "No deal." Hyde was taken a back at how he and Chase had come to an agreement; let alone at the same time. Mira huffed as she walked closer to them.

"Then let me sweeten the deal. I'll bring back the one thing that made your pathetic life bearable."

Hyde raised an eyebrow in curiosity. *"No, she can't mean-"*

"I'll bring back Frankie."
