//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Regret // Story: Dangerous Reflections // by FandomPlays1234 //------------------------------// Twilight paced up and down while she waited for Princess Luna to arrive. It's been five days since she bought that wretched mirror at the yard sale and now she regretted it. Ever since the mirror entered her household, she had constantly seen her reflection change in the mirrors around her house. But none of them were as bad as the one she saw last night. "Oh come on please hurry," mumbled Twilight. "So NOW you believe that mirror is cursed?" asked Spike. "Yes and I'm sorry I doubted you Spike," groaned Twilight. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Twilight ran to get it. She opened the door to find Princess Luna standing there. "Hello Twilight Sparkle," said Luna. "Princess Luna!" Twilight gave the alicorn a big hug close to tears. "Twilight is something wrong?" Luna asked concerned. "Luna I've made a terrible mistake and now I don't know how to fix it," sobbed Twilight. "What is it what happened?" asked Luna concerned. "I would tell you but I don't think you would believe me," Twilight sniffled. "There's no need to hide anything, now tell me what's going on," Luna said calmly. Twilight let Luna in as she explained to her about the mirror she bought at the yard sale and how things had been going terribly wrong ever since it entered the library. Luna nodded,"So you believe this cursed mirror is tormenting you through different reflections," said Luna. "Yes, so far all of them were bad, but none of them were as worse as last nights," said Twilight. "What did you see in your reflection last night?" Luna asked. "Well it all started when I was brushing me teeth as usual, I was rinsing out my mouth from the toothpaste and when I looked up I saw it," said Twilight. "Saw what?" asked Luna. "It was me but at the same time it wasn't, it had my face, body, and mane but instead it was black with red eyes and a really creepy smile," Twilight began to sob again. "I don't know what it was but it looked like it was holding a knife or something," "What happened next?" asked Luna. "The bathroom door just slammed shut and I couldn't get out, then the lights began to flicker and a creepy laugh filled the bathroom," At this point Twilight covered her face with her hooves and continued to sob,"The next thing I know the mirror was covered with bloody hoof prints, and the sink and tub was filled with more blood," "But the worst thing out of all that was the message on the mirror written in blood," "What did it say?" asked Luna. Twilight sniffled as she tried to collect her composure,"You Owe Me your Soul," The entire room went silent just as Twilight recited the message. Even Luna seemed to be freaked out by what Twilight said. "You Owe Me your Soul," Luna repeated. "Luna I'm scared I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight without having that one image in my head haunt me," Twilight sobbed. "Don't worry Twilight," said Luna stroking her mane. "What do I do?" asked Twilight. "I don't know but no matter what happens, I'll make sure that nopony tries to hurt you," said Luna hugging Twilight. "So what now?" asked Spike walking up to Luna. "I have to tell my sister about what's going on," said Luna. "In the meantime I suggest you stay away from all mirrors," "What about Twilight," asked Spike. "I'm planning to take her back to the castle, see if that changes anything," answered Luna. "Then I'm coming too," said Spike. Luna shook her head in disagreement. "It's too risky I'll need you to stay over at somepony's while I help Twilight deal with this mirror situation," Spike, feeling defeated, wanted to argue but he knew that Luna was only doing this to protect him. "Alright," said Spike. "Let's go Twilight," said Luna walking out of the library with Twilight by her side. Spike quickly ran upstairs to prepare to head over to the dragon lands. Luna had the guards at the castle arrange a room without mirrors for Twilight when they arrived. "You should be fine here," said Luna showing Twilight her room. "Thanks Luna I really appreciate it," said Twilight. "I'll call you for dinner, in the meantime try to get some rest while you can alright?" said Luna. "Yeah I'll be sure to do that," said Twilight. Luna nodded as she closed the door to let Twilight have some time to herself. Twilight walked over and jumped on the bed placing a hoof over her eyes. "What Twilight?" asked Celestia. "Yeah recently she's been having troubles with mirrors apparently," answered Luna. "What kind of troubles?" asked Celestia concerned. "Something having to do with a cursed mirror or something," said Luna. "A Cursed Mirror?" asked Celestia. Luna explained the whole story to her sister and the reason why Twilight was in the castle. "I see, and you're planning to keep Twilight here until this whole thing blows off?" asked Celestia. "Yeah, and I plan to keep Twilight from coming into close contact with any mirrors," answered Luna. "But what about Spike?" asked Celestia. "I told him to stay at somepony's house while he waits for this whole thing to pass by," answered Luna. Celestia nodded and scratched her chine with her hoof. If what Luna is saying is true then they needed to find out who was after Twilight and why. "Alright, but I won't let you do this on your own dear sister," said Celestia. "Celestia please you must understand, whoever is after Twilight will most likely strike at night or in the dark at the very least," said Luna. "Even so you can't do this alone, you'll be better off protecting Twilight with my help," said Celestia. "Celestia," Luna mumbled looking a little upset. "Please Luna let me help, I'm worried about Twilight too," said Celestia. Luna stayed silent for a while before answering,"Alright but I hate to say that you probably won't be able to do much for her," "Thank you Luna," said Celestia.
