LWHAYC The Devil Within part 7

Chapter 7: We’re in Osaka

In the morning after a long night of talking, Nyle have been talking with Henry and Yandere-Chan to convince them that Mildred, was not the real Mildred, and saying that it was Absinthe in Mildred’s body.

“Now listen, you guys got nothing to worry about.” said Nyle.

“What the hell do you mean we got nothing to worry about?” asked Henry in aggravation, “She’s got your new sister; she’s whacked out, some sort of new person or something! And she’s got a flare gun! What are we supposed to do? In fact better yet, what are we supposed to do? We gotta worry about it!”

“Look, I was talking with the real Mildred.”

“Real Mildred?” asked Yandere-Chan, “The real Mildred is the one that called herself Absinthe.”

“No, I was actually talking to the real Mildred in the mirror a few days prior.” said Nyle, “saying not to worry. What she said is what she said so I have to let this happen in order to get Bertha back, and get her back.”

“You have been talking to a mirror?”

“I don’t understand why Absinthe did this to her before, but since she told me Absinthe made her into a bad cat because Absinthe possessed Mildred’s body, and I was talking to Mildred through a different mirror. Her soul is in the mirror she was trapped in, but I’m not sure if the mirror Absinthe has, will work or not.”

“Well if Mildred’s soul is in the mirror then why didn’t you get her out?”

“Well I’ve been talking with the science club leader Kaga and told me to let this happen too.”

“Kaga, you mean that whack job that always knows science nonstop?”

“And he also knows demonized like spells like magic or something. It sounds weird but it’ll work.”

“Well whatever it is, it’s gone too far.” said Henry.

“That’s what I thought,” said Nyle, “and it has been continuing way before me and Absinthe even met.”

“Then when did it happened?”

“Eight years ago.”

“Eight years ago?”

“And we have to do something about it.”

“So you talked to Kaga and he’s saying to let it play out? It’s easy to let things play out but she doesn’t let this happen to her like what happen yesterday. Mildred meeting some sort of demon like what you said. Didn’t had her sister with her. Didn’t had her at gunpoint!”

“Yeah I know but real Mildred said to just let it happen.”

“Yeah and real Mildred in the mirror can just sit back and tell you all of this s**t! But we’re sitting here trying to figure out where the hell they are! Hell they might be at like in northern Japan by now!”

--------------------------

At a Japanese Gas Station, Absinthe carries a bag with some candy bars, one that’s filled with caramel, one that’s nougat, and one that’s a fudge brownie flavor; she gets in her car on a hurry and opens up the bag, grabs the caramel bar, and opens it up and takes a bite off of it.

“Okay, nothing to worry about,” said Absinthe, “just need to get ready for the-...” she swallows and looks at the back seats knowing that Bertha’s behind her; she thinks that if she wants her alive first then she’s gotta have to give her something to eat, “...f**k.” she comes over to the back seat, “Yo girl!” she shouted to Bertha; she hears Bertha muffling in there.

Absinthe opens the seat to the trunk revealing Bertha still tied up and yelling and muffling over her mouth being taped.

Bertha muffles as loud as she can to attract help.

“Yo shut up we’re gonna go on a trip,” said Absinthe, “well you’re coming with me so you’re coming with me,” she then grabs a fudge brownie flavored candy bar and throws it to Bertha, “there you go.”

Bertha muffled louder wanting to get out.

“Yo shut up for god sakes,” Absinthe tries to quiet her but Bertha’s muffles try and get louder, “you shut u- I get it, I get it, I get it you need to eat that hold on.” She takes the tape off of Bertha’s mouth.

“HELP! HELP!!!!” yelled Bertha.

Absinthe closes the back seat quickly to prevent anyone from hearing the little kitten and goes back to the driver's seat and starts up the car.

“Okay, better get going,” said Absinthe, still she hears Bertha screaming in the trunk, “Shut your mouth! Eat your f**king breakfast alright?!” She eats the rest of her caramel bar quickly and starts up the car, “Okay, time for me to go to Osaka.” Then she hears kicking from the back, “Don’t you dare start kicking! I just got this car alright?!”

“Help!!!” yelled Bertha in the trunk.

Absinthe drove off on her way to the city of Osaka city of Japan.

“Something’s gotta give...Something’s really gotta give.”

--------------------------

At Osaka city, Japan in a parking building, Absinthe founds a parking space just right enough to fit in; she parked it where the view is beautiful.

She gets out of the car and looks around and see that the city looks pretty beautiful, even though it’s a sunset.

“Awesome, alright better leave my stuff in here though,” said Absinthe, “and I never thought this was gonna be a bad time,” then she hears Bertha screaming in trunk from the car again; she comes inside the car, “shut up already!”

“Help!” yelled Bertha in the trunk.

“Can you shut up?! You might wanna save your breath from all of your screaming because you’re not gonna be leaving this! I’m gonna go have some gamble though!” Absinthe turns to her mirror, “hey Mildred,” she moves the bag of money aside and picks up the mirror, “say real Mildred, can you hear your real sister yelling? I know you might not be in there, but you see that yen right next to you? Yeah I’m gonna use that for the casino, I might win or lose it all but who cares? I sure don’t.”

“Help!”

“Shut up screaming this is a public place,” Absinthe turns the car off and turns to Bertha back there, “Oh and just so you know, we’re in Osaka right now. It’s a safe place with friendly people! Don’t yell too loud because there’s no one else around, probably like two cars or something! We’re at a parking garage!...” Then she hears Bertha crying in there, “Look I don’t like this more than you do so can we just deal with it?!”

“Mildred please let me out!”

“Can you just shut your f**king mouth?! You’re starting to make me feel bad alright?!”

Then Absinthe gets out of her car with her bag of money and goes to a hotel to check in, but then pauses for a minute looking at the car even though Bertha’s in there. But decides to ignore it.

“Ugh, she’ll be alright.” Absinthe said as she proceed to walk forward.

--------------------------

At a luxury hotel room, it shows two queen sized beds, a table with a lamp for lighting and a remote, a seventy-two inch flat screen tv standing on top of a big dresser, a mini fridge, a desk with also a lamp for either reading or writing, a menu book, and there’s also a luxury bathroom. But wait, what is complete for a bathroom without a mirror? In fact, there are three, one outside the bathroom, and two inside the bathroom, one big, and one small for makeup, there’s even a rectangular bathtub/hot tub, and a shower head, even a shower curtain with flower patterns, and a sink with golden knobs with a C and H label.

Absinthe comes inside the room with her room key and sees that she did not order a queen sweet.

“Ugh, seriously?” complained Absinthe, “I seriously ordered a king sweet!” she turns on the lamp to light up the room, and see that it doesn’t look that bad in here, “Hmm, even if I didn’t order a queen sweet it does not look that bad actually.”

She looks around and see that it might just work, even though she got just enough yen for the night; she then looks that there’s a body mirror.

“Ahh a body mirror huh? Amazing,” Absinthe comes in front of the body mirror, “hey Mildred, what’s up girl? Even though I can’t see you!”

Absinthe comes to the bathroom and turns on the light, and looks around that there’s not just one, but two mirrors.

“Well what is complete without a f**king bathroom mirror?! Guess if there’s a f**king time when you want to talk with me Mildred...You gotta do it tonight you b**ch huh? You’ve been talking with Nyle all night long what’s that all about?”

She leaves the bathroom back to the bedroom, sits down on one of the queen size beds, and turns on the lamp right next to her.

“But this feels nice. Got all of my yen so I can use some for some gambling, and thank god I booked a room though. Hell no I ain’t sleeping in a car all night with that little brat yelling all night…” She then tries to think that, is she just gonna be in Mildred’s body forever? “Welp I’m still in Mildred’s bod, but at least I still look cute so I don’t have to let people see my dark side.”

She then grabs her bag and dumps out all of her yen, making it rain on the bed.

“And besides, I got money! Okay how much should I put in for the casino?” She grabs some and counts up. So she has 5,000,000 yen, and she’d grabbed 500,000 yen. So she’ll use the 500,000 yen for gambling, and save the rest for later, “yeah looks enough right there for some gambling, save the rest for later. I did used some money for gas but that was from Mildred’s wallet.”

She looks at the mini fridge, and thinking that she is missing something though, and that is, alcohol.

“Oh yeah, I better get some booze though.” Absinthe then grabbed at least 75,000 yen, grabs her room key, and goes out of her room to get some booze.

An hour and a half later…

Absinthe comes back in with a bag full of several bottles of beer and one glass bottle of vodka; she puts the bag down, put the beer and the vodka in the mini fridge, but leaving one out for herself.

She opens it up and takes a sip of it.

“Ah, well that is worth the price of ignition.” said Absinthe. She closes the fridge and goes to her seat on the desk, and sees that there’s a room service menu.

“Huh, let’s see what I can get.” She looks through the menu and see that there’s lots of choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, even deserts, “let’s see what I can have I mean, there’s also the boys I ca-” Absinthe paused and puts down the menu for a second and realized that she’s in love with Henry, “I forgot...The boy...the hedgehog I held at gunpoint...Woah, completely forgot about that.”

She takes a drink of her beer and puts it down on the desk.

“Well...At least he’ll be fine I guess…” Absinthe then looks at the mirror right next to her bed, forgot there’s a mirror right there, “Say you wanna come out here and fight me? If you want then be my guest.” She takes another sip of beer from her beer bottle.

Absinthe goes back to the desk and looks at the room service menu again since she didn’t see the whole thing. Not that there are just food for any kind, there’s also more that are for adults too.

“Hmm, strawberry lemon pie? Mike Tyson’s punch?...Those two might sound good...Huh I wonder if that brat is here...Oh yeah I forgot she’s still in the car, hahaha. If only someone who relates to me, then I would say I just hate her so badly, no one would f**king know...Might as well slam this beer down.”

She then downs the rest of the bottle of her beer and finished it up fast; she throws it away in the trashcan. She brought up a cold glass bottle of vodka from the mini fridge and opened it up with a cat claw and takes a sip of it. To her it tastes a little strange.

“Wooh, that tasted like s**t man,” said Absinthe, “welp might as well get a cold beer out and leave the vodka in here for later, because it’s time for me to win some more mucho dineros!”

She then grabs another beer from the mini fridge, grabs her room key, grabs 500,000 yen, and walks out of her room on her way to the casino for some more money.

--------------------------

At a big casino area, Absinthe sits on a stool right next to a slot machine; she puts in 8,000 yen inside the slot machine for some credits.

After a few minutes, she kept pressing a button and got lucky a bunch of times. Kept on getting 777 at several turns and gets 100 free games. Now after a final spin she got a jackpot of 1,000,000 yen.

“Woohoo, got a 1 million yen baby.” said Absinthe, “This is awesome, well if I had a boyfriend then it would be cooler...Huh, maybe I should play some table games. I know that I’m suppose to have an ID but I do have Mildred’s so that’ll work.”

She gets off the seat with a ticket in her pocket for later; she looked at the sign saying roulette and it looks amazing, just a spinning wheel of red and black something like that.

“Better get my luck one.”

Absinthe comes over to the table ready to play some roulette.

--------------------------

Back at the hotel room, Absinthe comes in upset and pissed off as she gets on the bed and bangs a fist on her pillow.

“God dammit! Ah just all of that f**king money ugh!” yelled Absinthe. Then she calms herself down as she grabs the vodka bottle and takes a sip of it to calm her mind off.

“Well, that was a failure off the bat...still got the ticket but lost 400,000 yen down the drain….And I can’t believe it hit green, and only got half of it...But then got that down the drain as well!”

Absinthe turns around forward towards the mirror behind her.

“Welp cheers Mildred my girl. That’s 500,000 yen down. You know…” she takes a sip of vodka, “the money I have, still got a lot left but I wasted a portion of it!”

She then turns to the desk and sits on the chair with the vodka bottle on her hand; she thought she was gonna win, but also feels nothing but torture as she was trying to get Bertha away from her happy world to the dark side, but instead feels like pain even before her.

“If only I can just get out of this world and be free, but I wanted people to accept me but then people just thought me as some sort of dumbass ugly cat. That’s what I am on the inside, but on the outside have to hide in Mildred’s body in order to keep my true form hidden!...”

Absinthe then opens the curtain and looks through the window, seeing the night view, nothing but darkness no matter where she’s at, no matter what she feels; she just can’t escape. But like always, have to deal with Bertha. She looks at the parking garage next door to the hotel.

“Hmph...If she wants to see Mildred, then guess what little brat...That ain’t happening…”

Looks like she’s got a plan to do, even if the others find Bertha she has an idea, so no one will ever see Mildred once and for all.

--------------------------

At the parking garage, Absinthe comes over to her car to the back of her trunk; she opens up the trunk to reveal Bertha which she’s still scared of her.

“Mildred, please let me out!” said Bertha in fear, “I wanna go back home!”

“Yeah well calm down girl,” said Absinthe, “we’re in a public place right now, and you’re gonna be fine.”

“No let me out of here! Please sister! Please!”

“Just hear me out. Now here’s what’s gonna happen, people are gonna find you in here. They’re gonna find you cuz I’m gonna do something that I’ve never done before that I think the world would be a better place.”

“No! No! Let me out now!! Get me out of here please!”

“Yeah well goodbye for good.” Absinthe closes the trunk from the car.

The scene cuts to inside the trunk where the tearful Bertha is stuck and still tied up wanting to escape from her sister, but also want her to take her back home; she looks around but then feels a handle, maybe there’s something sharp that can cut the rope off of her wrists.

So she reaches it as far as she can to grab it, then finally got to it as she touched it; she drags it closer and gripped it, and moves the knife closer to the rope to cut herself out of the mess.

The scene cuts back outside where Absinthe is on the edge where she’s about to go; she stands on the ledge and spreads her arms getting ready, but then hears Bertha from behind her.

Absinthe then turns around in pure disappointment and anger as she looked at Bertha not far but a few inches away from her.

“Ah great! You’re out again?!” yelled Absinthe, “wait, is that my dagger?!” she noticed that Bertha is holding her dagger, “Well looks like we got an escaping kitty here! How did you get out of there?!”

“Please Mildred,” said Bertha in desperate, “please take me home. I wanna go back with Layla and Nyle.”

“How the hell did you get out of there?! In fact better yet. Why did you have my knife?!”

“Doesn’t matter, I just wanna go home.”

“Why do you have my knife?!”

“I need it for protection.”

“I’m not gonna hurt you yet, that’s for later! I’m gonna do that later!”

“Your not suppose to be mean Mildred. You're my sister. You’re still my sister.”

“Okay seriously? What part of “my name’s Absinthe,” did you not understand? Did you get the f**king memmo? After all of those years, how come you haven’t figured out who I am?”

“You’re my sister Mildred.”

“Hey, I’m not your sister! I’m not your sister!”

“Yes you are.”

“No I’m not! Listen you dumbass brat! You are the one that decide to be with me long time ago before you came to Buraza Town for some odd reason!”

“Tinana abandoned both of us.”

“I have no idea who Tinana is either! I’m not even crazy, I mean I had few to drink and you are just being stupid right now!”

“Let me go home. You don’t have to see me anymore.” Bertha said as she feels a little more scared and hurt, and backs away a little further.

“Oh really, why do you decide to care about me? After all of the stuff I did to you in the past?”

“You’re still my sister Mildred.”

“After all the s**t I pulled on, there’s no way back for me!”

“...We can figure things out.”

“Oh we can figure things out?! You still think I’m Mildred and I’m not her at all!”

“I think you’re still nice in there.”

“What the f**k are you even saying?! In fact, why can’t you kill me then?!”

“Because I don’t want to do that, you’re still my sister. Please just take me home, I don’t wanna be hurt by you anymore. I don’t want to be hurt.” Bertha said as she poured her heart out.

Absinthe then just doesn’t want to hear Bertha’s crying anymore, so has to think of something to make her stop.

“Alright fine fine! You wanna go home so bad?! Then fine! You can go home!...Just gimme that f**king knife you have in your hand, there’s a bike in the backseat you can ride!”

“But what if-”

“No, you gimme that damn knife, I swear no one is gonna hurt ya on the way to Buraza Town! So you gimme the knife and you can go home!...There’s a bike in the backseat, you take it and leave!”

“I still loved you though.”

“If you do so much then you leave me be then!” Absinthe then pulls out a map out of her pocket and shows a full map of Japan from Osaka to Buraza Town, “See, there’s even a map I can give to you, and you can go back to your goody goody two shoes home! Your new happy family!”

Bertha looks at the map, but has no choice, but to trust her. Since she doesn’t know the directions to Buraza Town anyway.

“You...You promise?...If I give you the knife?”

“And you can be free. If you give me that knife alright?”

Bertha walks over to Absinthe and gives her the knife, then Absinthe grabs it right out of her hands.

“Now, can I have the map please?”

Absinthe points the knife at Bertha.

“No…”

“Is, there even a bi-”

“No there isn’t, lied to ya.” Absinthe looks at her in anger while Bertha looks at her in fear, “You’re coming with me...you think you’re caring so much? Huh?”

“Mildred please.”

“You wanna talk to Mildred?”

“I do want to.”

“Well guess what, I know where she’s at, so I’m gonna take you to her; I know one place she’s a you understand? Yeah, I’m gonna take you to the real Mildred.” Absinthe looks at Bertha seeing that she’s quivering in fear, “Hey you stop being so scared...But listen, I don’t like you.”

“Please don’t say that to me.”

“You’re not my sister.”

“I am your sister Mildred.”

“I’m not Mildred, and I’m not your sister, so I don’t give a s**t. So you’re gonna walk with me to the casino and hotel. If you even think you’re gonna ask for help? We’re in Osaka you little brat. So if you think you’re gonna do anything? Then I’ll shove this knife right into ya!”

That threatened Bertha pretty much and doesn’t want to even get close to the knife.

“Mildred please don’t hurt me.”

“You get close to this knife now! Get close to it!”

Bertha then gets close to the knife like what Absinthe said and never felt so afraid in her life.

“Please, I don’t want to be hurt.”

“You don’t have to if you do what I say, like that frown of yours. Put that to the side and put one a smile, come on just a little smile. Don’t make me snap your neck. Just put on a smile, just smile alright?”

“I-I’m trying.”

“Yeah whatever, but you stay ahead of me though, but you better stay close.” Absinthe then stay close behind Bertha, holding a knife close to the back of her neck, but wonders how she got out, “but before we go inside? How did you get out?”

“I-I found your knife an cut the rope off of my hands and-”

“Alright you shut your little mouth, you do that s**t again? You’re dead. You start to think you’re gonna escape? The other one got out once, but you? That’s two twice now, you understand me?”

“Mhm.”

“Good, now we’re gonna be walking to the hotel, but hey...you stay close to the knife alright?”

Bertha didn’t say another words since she’s afraid she’s gonna be getting Absinthe more aggravated again.

“Yeah you can’t even say a word,” said Absinthe as she walked Bertha to the hotel, “we’re gonna be talking to the real Mildred. We’re gonna see her.”

So they both walk together.  Absinthe on the back, and Bertha on the front, close together so that Bertha doesn’t even run away. And Absinthe will know that when Bertha’s even gonna run, then she has the knife close up to her back.

--------------------------

Back at the hotel room, Absinthe opens the door and throws Bertha on the floor and closes the door quick.

“Seriously?! You can’t even smile?!” asked Absinthe in fury.

“I-I tried Mildred.” said Bertha in fear.

“Yeah right! Get in the bathroom!” She pushes Bertha in the bathroom and sets her front of the mirror, “Now you better shut up! Look in the mirror!”

Bertha then looks in the mirror but she’s still in fear.

“Please don’t do this to me Mildred.”

“I’m not Mildred!” Absinthe then comes in then looks in the mirror, but Mildred didn’t appeared in the mirror, “Mildred where are you?!...Come out! Mildred! GET THE HELL OUT OF THIE MIRROR!!”

“..Mildred you’re crazy.”

“Where the hell has she been after all of this s**t?!” Absinthe then pulls the knife back out to Bertha’s neck, “...I will do it Mildred...You know I will.”

“No please Mildred.”

Absinthe turns to Bertha.

“Get close to the knife now!”

“Please don’t hurt me.”

“Get close to it.”

Bertha then get’s close to the knife as what Absinthe said, still afraid and some tears come out of her eyes.

“Please…” Bertha whimpered.

Absinthe then turns to the mirror.

“I will do it to your little sister Mildred. I will do this, if you don’t come through this MIRROR!!”

“...Mildred, please don’t do this to me…”

Absinthe all of a sudden, dropped the knife as she leaned on the sink, looks like she doesn’t want to harm her like that...yet. Then hears the bathroom door closing, looked like Bertha got out.

Absinthe gets back up and looks in the mirror.

“Ahh Mildred…”

The scene cuts to the room where the queen size beds are, and Bertha is sitting on the other bed, looking around trying to find something to call either Layla, Henry, or any other person for help. Then she spotted a phone hanging right next to the desk, so she picks it up and dials a number.

Absinthe comes out of the mirror and saw that Bertha is trying to call for help.

“Hey get off that phone!” demanding Absinthe as she runs to Bertha with a knife up close to the top of her forehead, “Now hang it up!”

Bertha then hangs up the phone gently on the rack.

“I’m sorry Mildred, I’m really sorry.”

“No you’re not! You're trying to call help is that what it is?!”

“Please don’t do this to me.”

“I don’t give a s**t about you.”

Bertha then tears as she looks at Absinthe in pure fear; she then covers her eyes as she tries to hold her tears back, but were flooding out.

“Please don’t do this to me sister! I don’t wanna die! I just wanna go home!”

Absinthe then backs up the knife and sits on her bed and does nothing but hold her head in confusion.

“He- Hey!” She sees Bertha trying to pick up the phone, but she knows that’s not gonna happen, “don’t pick up that phone...I’m watching you. Don’t you dare pick up that phone, what the hell did I just told you?”

Bertha then goes on the other queen size bed and sits there watching Absinthe still in fear, but doesn’t wanna get to close.

Absinthe then grabs the bottle of vodka and takes a sip of it.

“Drink this s**t.” Absinthe said to Bertha.

“I don’t want that stuff.” said Bertha.

“...Drink this s**t!” Absinthe demanded as she got up and gets close to Bertha’s face.

“I don’t want to drink that...It looks like it’s for an adult…”

“Oh does it look like I care? Does it look like I want this? Drink it.”

Bertha then takes the bottle.

“Do I have to?”

“Just put your mouth on it, take a sip, and put it down.”

Bertha then puts her mouth around it and takes a sip of it, and once she took a sip she doesn’t seem to like it at all; she then puts it on the table right next to her.

“It tasted bad.”

“You think?” Absinthe then grabs it off the table and takes another sip of vodka, and puts it back on the table.

“...Mildred?...”

“What?...”

“If you look in the mirror...You don’t see yourself?”

“...Yeah...Sure...Why not?...”

“...You just don’t see yourself?...”

Absinthe then looks down to the floor and just doesn’t want to be hearing Bertha.

“Well what do you want me to do?...I just don’t know what I’m doing...I never thought of this one through this far in my life…”

“You don’t have to be a meanie Mildred...You’re probably just lost...Henry can help you…”

“Who’s that? The white hedgehog that hangs out with the grey eyed schoolgirl?”

“...Yeah, you can still be a nice person…”

“Not really...I messed enough stuff already...Just just, what do you want from me? What do you want me to do?”

“I want you to take me home,” Bertha then gets up from the queen bed and goes up on Absinthe’s bed, “I don’t want to be mad at. If there’s something that happened to you in the past then just don’t think about it anymore…”

“Well there’s stuff you can’t fix! There’s no way you can forget the stuff that happened badly in the past!”

“We can still try...You can just take me home...I just want to be with Layla and Nyle again...Just please take me home…”

Absinthe just sort of feels bad for Bertha, but still hates her nonetheless; she doesn’t want to take her home but has no choice, even if she wants to kill, Mildred’s ways aren’t letting her like she’s being controlled.

“...Alright...Fine.”

“Really...You’ll take me back to Buraza Town?”

“Yeah, whatever...There’s no way I ain’t gonna go back when I leave that town in the next several days when we get back but yeah...Look, I got...a queen sweet, it was suppose to be a king but instead they changed it or something... So you can sleep on that bed you were sitting on but if I can trust you t-”

“You can trust me sister...You can still trust me…”

“Okay...You better not use any tricks or else, cuz I got that dagger with me.”

“I’m tired...You can trust me.”

“And I’ll take you home…”

“...Okay.” Bertha then gets off of Absinthe’s bed and lays on her own bed of the queen sweet; she then looks that Absinthe is picking back up the vodka bottle, “But I don’t think you should drink that again…”

“...I will do this…” Absinthe takes a sip of vodka and puts it back on the table, “get to sleep alright?” She watches Bertha quickly drifting off to sleep in her own bed.

Then Absinthe just gets up off of her bed and goes to the bathroom looking at herself instead of Mildred in the mirror.

“...Hey Mildred...If there’s any time...You f**king broke a record.” said Absinthe, “...Just say something...I’ll be waiting.”

Not one response came through the mirror. Not even once Mildred has appeared.

Absinthe has no idea how she got Mildred to that mirror and doesn’t know how to get her to appear, but does have an idea. If Bertha wants to see her so badly, then it looks like she has to snap Bertha in the mirror she has in her car.

She runs out of the room for a little bit to get the mirror.

A few minutes later…

When Bertha’s still asleep, Absinthe got back inside very quietly but this time, has her new mirror with her; she then comes over to Bertha and woke her up within a single flick.

Bertha then woke up with a jerk, and turns around but then was held down; she looks at Absinthe in shock.

“Mildred? What are you doing?” Bertha said in fear.

“If you wanna see Mildred again, then you gotta have to do what I say!” said Absinthe as she got the mirror in front of Bertha, “you are gonna stare at this mirror, snap your fingers, and you’ll get transported in here!”

“What? No I don’t wanna do that.”

“Well you’re gonna have to!” Absinthe then grabs the dagger and brings it to her neck, “Now look at the mirror!”

Bertha then does what she says and looks at herself straight in the mirror, and snaps her fingers, and then a white glow suddenly happened in the mirror.

First the mirror froze her and scanned every last bit of her body, and then finally sucked her in the mirror as she yelled, “HELP!!!!!!” then her voice faded to a silent and the mirror turned to normal like Bertha was not even there.

Absinthe then lays the mirror right against the wall and goes inside her bed, and went off to sleep.

To be continued...
