I’m Talking to the Girl In The Mirror
I woke up on the floor and sat up quickly, and stopped to get some air.
"What was that? Wha-what happened?"
Agatha got up from the ground, and looked at me.
Agatha: I'm sorry Wanda, hun.
Agatha extended her arms and suddenly, I was suspended up in the air, arms and legs paralyzed.
Agatha: If only I knew sooner... it all makes sense now.
"What are you talking about?"
Agatha: Why didn't you tell me Wanda?
"Tell you what?"
Agatha conjured a book.
Agatha: Chaos Magic, the most dangerous and rare type of magic. A really rare type of magic Wanda. So rare and powerful it can cause damage not just in a universal scale... but also multiversal.
"What does this have to do with me?"
It was there that it hit me... the magic I used. The one I used to defeat the Scarlet Witch... it was Chaos Magic.
"No."
Agatha: I'm afraid yes.
"There has to be a mistake."
Agatha: I tracked Chaos Magic energy around your area earlier tonight to where I found YOU... and your brother. Chaos Magic that hasn't been detected on this earth since... well... you know when.
?: LET ME OUT NOW!
"What are you gonna do to me?"
Agatha: Power with that much level of destruction... in the wrong hands could lead to... chaos. Pun intended.
"Please... don't hurt me... don't."
Agatha: I'm sorry Wanda darling, Pietro will be taken care off.
Agatha extended both her arms and started muttering a spell. Suddenly, red Chaos Magic started to drain from me and get absorbed by Agatha. As each second passed, my body felt weaker and weaker until suddenly, I felt a big mass of magic on one hand. I concentrated all the magic in me left to that hand, and I shot a ball of Chaos Magic at Agatha, sending her across the room.
I dropped to the floor, and immediately ran out of the room. Agatha got up.
Agatha: Oh no you don't.
Agatha conjured up a spell on pounded her hand on the ground, sending a shockwave of Dark Magic to the house.

I didn't stop running. I ran up the stairs finding the room with Pietro, but the hallways seemed to be bigger... and longer.
?: YOU CAN'T DO THIS ALONE, LET ME OUT WANDA!
I continued running until I reached a room. I had a feeling this was Pietro's room, or the one we left him in, and I entered.
I entered the room and suddenly, I was back at the orphanage. I looked and saw a little boy laying on the bed, back turned on me.
I was in Pietro's room.
Pietro: Wanda... is that you?
I sighed, relieved. It was all a nightmare.
"Yes, it is me."
I walked to Pietro, past my dolls which Pietro and I would play with some times. Past the books and to Pietro.
Pietro: What's wrong Wanda? Another nightmare?
"Yes. It was just a nightmare, don't worry."
Suddenly, Pietro turned to reveal his face, zombified and decayed.
Pietro: WANDA!
I screamed as I backed off and fell off the bed. I turned my head to see as the dolls slowly turned their heads to face me as Pietro suddenly jumped to the floor, eyes glowing purple.
Pietro: Don't worry Wanda, it'll all be over soon.
Pietro suddenly cast Dark Magic at me, and as I covered my face with my hands, I casted a shield.
I slowly opened my eyes to see as Pietro, full of dark magic, continued casting magic onto the shield, which was starting to break.
?: Wanda... over here!
I looked at the shield and saw a face, faded within the Chaos Magic.
"Who are you? Why am I hearing your voice in my head?"
Lia: Lia. Call me Lia. I'm gonna need you to break the shield on three... then follow the sign.
"WHAT SIGN?"
Lia: And... NOW!
I broke the shield, and it sent a shockwave that sent Pietro flying back till he hit the wall. I apologized to Pietro quickly as I got up and ran out.
As I ran to the hallway, I saw a small flame of Chaos Magic floating, and I followed it. I followed it into a room and I locked myself in it.
Lia: Wanda.
I turned and saw there was only one thing in the room: a mirror.
I looked at the mirror but I didn't see my reflection. I saw someone who looked like me but... older.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, someone started pounding the door.
Lia: We don't have time. Listen... I need you to let me out.
"HOW?"
Lia: I'll teach you the spell... just listen repeat after me.
"Ok."
I watched as the girl in the mirror bit her thumb, and used to blood to draw something that looked like an ancient rune on her palm.
Lia: Draw this... on the mirror and your palm. With blood.
I bit my thumb, blood started bleeding out. I drew it on my palm and on the mirror.
Lia: Repeat after me.
Purple magic started to penetrate the door, Agatha was coming.
Lia: usuario magicae-
"usuario magicae"
Lia: lator chaos-
"cum carne et sanguine meo..."
Lia: TE REQUIRO-
The door gets blown down.
"TE REQUIRO- AAH!"
I was pulled back to Agatha, whose fingers now blackened due to all the Dark Magic, started choking me.
Agatha: I didn't want to do this the hard way.
Lia: relinque corpus istud.
I smiled at Agatha, before whispering...
"relinque corpus... istud."
Suddenly, the rune started to glow red.
Agatha: What did you do? WHO WERE YOU TALKING TO?
"Me? I'm talking to the girl in the mirror."
I punched Agatha with my other hand. The rune on the mirror started to glow red as well. The Witch put her hand on the rune.
Lia: PUT YOUR HAND ON IT!
I ran and pressed my hand on the mirror.
Agatha: WANDA NO!
Suddenly, the mirror broke and shards of glass flew around the room. I ducked for cover and when I looked, I saw Lia, now out, now in front of me.
Lia: Thank you.
Suddenly, Lia blocked a shot of purple magic thrown at us. She turned to Agatha.
Lia: You were gonna kill a kid?
Lia sighed, then raised her arms. Suddenly, Agatha's eyes turned black, and she dropped to the floor.
Lia: Don't worry, she'll be alright.
The woman helped me up.
Lia: You alright?
"Yeah. I'm Wanda."
Lia: Yeah, I know. Nice to finally meet you Wanda.
