°•~i will disown you as my reflection~•°
''How come I am in this closet? '' Fera asked herself after finding that she was in a luxurious closet which she didn't even dream about.
"Help! Is somebody there?" Fera stated shouting to see if someone could help her.
''Oh shut up or you will make my eardrums jump out of my ears. '' someone suddenly spoke.
Fera began to look for the owner of the voice but she didn't find anyone besides her in the closet. Then she took a look again in the mirror only to open her mouth widely. Oh my god! My Reflection speaks. She thought to herself.
''Will you close your mouth because even though we don't have any fly in our house but you're surely looking like a stray dog. '' her reflection spoke again causing her to close her mouth because of her nasty comment.
''I will not look like a stray dog even if I become homeless. So take your words back before I get pissed off. ''Fera boldly stated.
''Besides, reflection doesn't do anything on their own so you better shut up before I disown you as my reflection.''
Fera was never a rude person but this reflection of her was pissing her up and finding herself in an unknown 's closet was so much to take in.
''How can you disown me as your reflection when I'm not your reflection in the first place. You are not my reflection either. I think you are someone who look like me, maybe a long-lost twin or something.''Mabel spoke first in a warning tone then changed to normal.
''But that cannot happen, considering the fact that I already have a twin brother, so you must be my doppelganger.'' Mabel then continued.
''Wow! You sound like a lawyer or something. Anyways, I think you are correct. But still I don't get the mirror thing. '' Fera told her.
''I think this mirror thing will make sense when we'll ask the one who have put the mirror here. ''
Mabel is a highly practical person and she always remains calm in any situation unlike Fera who starts to freak out.
''I don't know who have put the mirror here but I think Jessica can definitely tell us about it so you have to leave that room and find Jessica in the library. '' Fera replied.
''And you should get out of my room and bring Janet here because she is the one who have put the mirror here. '' After that Mabel gestured her to leave and she also left that gloomy room to find Jessica .
Mabel looked around the whole library before bumping into a women who she was supposed to find. After reading her name written on her batch, she quickly held her hand and practically dragged her to the mirror without telling her anything. While at the other side, Fera had asked a maid who happened to bring Janet to her and now was waiting in front of the mirror with Janet.
''Am I supposed to know why you called me here? '' Janet asked.
''Yes, of course. I am actually going to tell you something that you will not believe. And that is I am actually not what you are thinking I am. I am actually Fera Greece who came from that mirror. ''
Fera knew that Janet was definitely not going to believe it but there was nothing she could do now because the mirror also have become blank.
''Then, I suppose that you came from a parallel universe where your country is a Democratic nation. And the nation's daughter has gone to your world. '' Janet spoke, suprising Fera that she knew what they don't.
''I think you know a lot. Would you mind telling me why I am here, who is the nation's daughter and why this mirror have gone back to normal? '' Fera asked.
''Yes I will. So here is how it goes, you both are a descendant of two gemini twin witches. The nation's daughter is Mabel Clark who also happens to be your doppelganger. She is given the title of nation's daughter because she is the daughter of a minister and that mirror was made by your ancestors. It has gone back to normal because you cannot always sit here and chat with Mabel. '' Janet answered her but more questions stirred up in her mind.
''Hi, I am Jessica Coulter, the librarian of the love life library. I suppose the doppelganger switch has happened that's why you came from Aétria and Fera is in your body. '' Jessica spoke suprising Mabel but she didn't show it on her face.
''So you definitely know many thing as I thought. Then tell me where I am and how I got here. '' Mabel demanded.
''You seem like a person with authority, judging from your tone. Well, you see there is a universe other than yours. It is called parallel universe where you are right now. '' Jessica told her, suprising even more.
Parallel universe have always been existed. But the doppelgangers didn't. It was started when two gemini twin witches, Petunia and Aétria opened a portal to the parallel world to travel there in the early 4th century BC. There, they both performed many great spells that helped them discover more things about that universe.
After spending a lot of time, Petunia was ready to leave but Aétria had different plans. She fell in love with a man who also happened to be a leader of a huge group. She settled with that man and Petunia left the parallel world.
Years passed by since Petunia left and Aétria married that man. During this time Petunia also married a man and both the twin sister had a child. But then Aétria started missing Petunia so she decided to create a small hand mirror through which she can see and talk to Petunia.
Both the twin started talking to each other through the mirror and Aétria also told Petunia how she became the queen of their country which also happened to be named after Aétria because of the things that she did for everyone using her magic. But the happiness didn't last any longer when Aétria' s child was infected with an unknown disease.
She called Petunia for help because Petunia was better in healing spells than her but Petunia refused to come as she didn't tell her husband about her being a witch so she couldn't leave her family.
This caused Aétria to do the unthinkable. She told her sister to switch up souls with her as they are twins with the same zodiac sign and so they did. They both thought of an alternative way to the door and created a mirror which they named the ianua mirror.
As they performed that huge spell, some ancient curses got released one of them leading to the existence of the doppelgangers. Their huge spell caused their future generations to have two gemini doppelgangers at the same time who can also communicate through the hand mirror and switch their souls through the ianua mirror.
This whole story of the doppelganger' s existence definitely cleared many confusion that Mabel and Fera had. Now, they know that Fera is the descendant of Petunia and Mabel is the descendant of Aétria.
But it still didn't explain how they both knew each other. That's why Both Fera and Mabel found them suspicious but they thought that it's better to find the missing piece by themselves rather than asking.
''So you are like my doppelganger cousin? '' Fera asked through the magical hand mirror.
''No, we are clearly not. I am roughly ten percent related to you, not any further, okay.'' Mabel said in a warning tone.
''Do you think they know each other? , I mean Jessica and Janet. Even their names starts from the same letter.'' Fera again asked Mabel about what she thinks.
It was only about an hour since they met but Fera started taking Mabel' s opinion as a fact, it could be because of Mabel' s aura and how she always contemplates before saying anything.
''Having the same first letter of their name doesn't mean they know each other but by seeing how uneasy they get whenever one even hears the name of the other is definitely a proof of having a past together.'' Mabel contemplated.
''I don't know how to get them to tell us about how they know each other." Fera sighed.
" But that isn't the only problem here. Ours is the biggest one of them." Fera said through gritted teeths.
"Alright, so from now on you are going to live as me and I am going to live as you untill we get switched back. '' Fera said, giving her a light smile.
''Also! I want you to keep this a secret from everyone except my twin brother Elijah Greece. So pick up my phone and call him because he will not believe you alone. ''
''Ok and I want you to call a number that is saved by the name 'the wonderland princess' and tell her to come. You have to tell her that you are not me but not anyone else.'' Mabel told her and she did so.
Now, Mabel was calling her doppelganger' s brother as she was told.
''Hello Elijah, this is your twin sister, Fera. '' Mabel started speaking trying to sound as normal as possible.
''Are you drunk?'' the first thing that Elijah said which confused Mabel.
''Excuse me? '' she asked.
''You don't speak so nicely to me when your sober but anyways, now tell me where are you now and why did you leave the wedding everyone is searching for you. '' he asked.
'She was marrying someone right now' Mabel thought.
''I am at the Love Life Library. Will you come here right now, I actually want to tell you something. '' she told him through the phone.
She heard a huge sigh of relief when she told him where she was. 'He must care about her a lot' she again thought.
''What does that virgin's library have that you left Bryan's wedding to go there. Anyways, I am happy as long as you 're not drunk because your ex is getting married. And don't worry I am coming there. '' he said and then hung up.
It had been thirty minutes since Mabel called Elijah. There was something going in her head that kept bugging her and she exactly knew what it was. But She still hoped it to not be true. Then she heard the sound of a car outside the library and by the next minute, Elijah Greece had entered in .
''There you are. Now get up we are going home.''
'Shit' she thought when she looked up to him only to find that he was indeed a doppelganger of Luke.
''I called you here to tell you something. I am not sure if you would believe me or not but I cannot deceive you. Elijah it would rather be a shocker but I am not your sister. I am Mabel Clark the doppelganger of Fera Greece. I am not from your world either. I came from a parallel universe where I live in the kingdom of Aétria. ''Mabel straightforwardly told him without any delay but Elijah just leaned forward and started to sniff her.
''Do you really come here to read books or is there a hidden bar. And why can't I smell boose from you? '' Elijah said. He was definitely not going to believe her so easily.
''Elijah, I am not drunk and I don't know if there is something like a hidden bar here or not. And if you don't believe me then you can ask Jessica. '' she said while looking extremely serious.
''Who is Jessica? '' he asked.
''The librarian, Jessica Coulter. '' she answered.
''I won't trust that woman. She might has hypnotised you to believe all this bullshit. '' he firmly stated.
''Then we will have to show you your sister through the hand mirror. '' Jessica spoke as she came with the hand mirror.
''Okay so now I am gonna call your sister through this mirror and then you will see it by your own eyes. '' Mabel said.
''Go ahead'' he said looking amused.
''Fera where are you? ''Mabel called her while holding the mirror in her hand.
Suddenly the mirror started forming an image and then Fera' s face came into the view.
''Hey! Mabel, did you call my brother and told him everything.'' Fera asked.
''Yes, I called him and told him everything but he is not believing me so we thought if you would yourself tell him then he might believe.'' Mabel replied.
''Where is he? Give the mirror to him.'' Fera said.
Mabel then handed the mirror over to Elijah who stood there shocked after watching what happened. They told him everything that they knew.
Then Mabel spoke, '' Fera I don't know if you would believe it but My twin brother Luke also happens to be Elijah's doppelganger. ''
''I actually knew it. Janet has shown me some pictures of people who are related to you to remember their name. I saw Luke. I also know that you don't quite get along with him but don't worry it will be fine." Fera told her.
''And there is also one thing that you need to know. Actually 'the wonderland princess' didn't pick up her phone." Fera told her with a slightly discomforted expression on her face.
