"Look."Skylar said after she had punched his elbow.
She looked and was confused as she looked back at him then asked,"What's the mirror for?"
He smiled then said,"The wicked stepmother."
"Ha, ha, really funny but seriously, what am I supposed to do with it?"She asked.
He walked closer as his wings folded, then said,"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the loveliest of them all?"
As a voice spoke, the image in the mirror changed, to show Princess.
"Really? Is this some kind of joke?"
"No, I see exactly what I asked."
"So Princess is the loveliest of all the maidens to you? Then why don't you fly into the sunset with her already?"
"What?"He said then laughed and said,"I don't see princess at all, I see you."
She frowned and looked again then he stood behind her and said,"It only shows you what you believe is true, and I believe you are the most beautiful, amazing, powerful and most of all, lovely maiden there is."
She smiled at him as he told her to look again, so she did, but it was still Princess, then a tear fell down her cheek.
She ran away but Skylar followed after her and asked what was wrong then she said,"I can't see it, all I see is Princess because I am not right for you, you are a far better person than I am and you deserve someone better, like her, please, don't do this to yourself."
He smiled at her then stretched his arm for her to take it, then led her back to the mirror then said,"Try again...for me."
She looked into it for a few seconds then it rippled and changed, into herself.
She smiled at him as he asked,"Do you see her?"
"Yes, I do...thank you."She said, with tears welling up.
"Anytime."
They got back to the school, a few minutes into the next period, then Skylar smiled at her as she reversed time so they came right on time.
He then kissed her on the nose and left, and so did she.
A person with a red coloured hood looked at the two of them as they left, then left as well...

"Forbidden attack!"
All the students got into their positions, except for one, who actually cried when he saw the creatures get imprisoned, Portia herself didn't like this activity, but partook in it because of what Forbiddens ate for breakfast, anything and everything.
Forbiddens were one of the most dangerous, unpredictable and complexly simple creatures of them all, they existed of nothing, a void which was hungry for energy, and faded away with every passing second, there were a few ways to deal with them and as said, few.
Since they were so difficult to get rid of, the number of casualties with even powerful Symbiotes on encounters with them was great.
That boy who felt awfully emotional for them was Bane, his family had a certain affinity for Forbiddens which didn't mean they always bonded with them alone, or bonded with them at all...or were safe from them, but, being so close to the creatures which had no intention of causing any harm as they had no intellect, he felt for them.
Portia looked as the teachers tried to restrain the almost undetectable creatures, then got an idea, voids.
She could simply make a small black hole as that was all she could manage, to swallow them up one by one, then teleport it somewhere safe but densely packed with energy, then break the singularity, that way, they remained unharmed and harmed no one.
After making everyone aware of this plan, she brought her hands together, Manfred had only told her it was possible for her to use her void crystal to make a black hole as it was one, by increasing the space between the atoms in a spherical area, pushing them apart and some together, till they were compacted enough to do the job, but he said she'd need a whole lot of matter to do that and she wasn't sure how much.
She tried compressing the air around her hands but past a certain point, it turned liquid and didn't want to compress anymore, this took more than six minutes and everyone was losing hope in her.
She then, at that moment, asked Manfred,"Why the heck isn't it working?!"
"Oh because you aren't strong enough yet, besides, when I said a lot of matter, I meant a lot, as in a whole planet for an atom sized one."He said in a carefree manner.
"What?! Then what on earth am I supposed to use that skill for?!"
"Irono, fighting a newly hatched forbidden by using a Seith sized planet no one cares about?"
She didn't know why she kept seeking information from that idiot.
She just gave up and tried teleporting them away but the problem was, they were nothingness, they acted like fluids and trying to teleport them was like trying to hold water in your hands, it poured out and instead of getting injured, divided safely for itself, but leaving a mess on the kitchen floor that you had to clean before slipping on.
She then opened a massive portal above all of them and slammed it to the floor, swallowing a big chunk of it.
Everyone looked at her, still wondering what that symbiote of her's was.
After everyone was back in class, Portia went to sit down and a floor beneath her's, a black hair like filament, flew in through the window of the classroom and into the ear of one of the students, then immediately, he heard voices in his head as his eyes turned ice blue, then he stood up and left and a young man looked at him, confused and suspicious.
The person, being one of Kofi's minions, walked up the stairs, lining the railing and the wall as ice creeped up and covered the stairs with snow.
He removed his hand from the wall and swiped his other over the railing as ice advanced forward, even over the bend, where it formed a dagger like projection which he broke off, then pierced into the railing above, immediately covering the entire place in frigid, white ice.
He got to the top and slowly walked and with one swipe of his right arm, froze everyone on that half of the hallway solid.
Then he slowly opened the classroom door and saw his target; Portia.
"Bring her to me, alive..."The voice said.
Then he spread his arms as ice creeped at light speed and covered the entire room, blocking all the exits...
