 The mirror sat in the back of a dusty old antique store. Thea walked passed it several times , before coming to a stop in front of it. She examined it carefully while she looked for a price tag. There wasn't one. She looked around for the attendant of the store. 
  " Hello?" She called.
   "Yes? Do you need help with something?" A man asked as he came from the back room.
  "Uh. Yeah. I would like to know how much this mirror costs." She told him as she pointed to the mirror. The man looked at the mirror with confusion.
  I've never seen this mirror before," he told her with a shake of his head. 
  " How much would you take for it?" She asked him. 
   " Nothing. Just go ahead and take it. It doesn't look like it's worth much." The man replied.
  " Are you sure?" Thea asked.
  " Yeah." 
  So, Thea took the mirror home with her. Not knowing that an evil wizard had been trapped inside of it for crimes untold of. And he was just waiting for someone to let him out. 
    Later that night, Thea was jarred awake. She sat bolt up right in her bed, blinking. She didn't know what had woke her up. She got out of bed and walked toward the front room where she had left the mirror. 
 A noise sounded from the direction she was walking.
  She hurried her footsteps to see what to was. When she made it to the front room, she stopped in her tracks. The mirror was glowing a bright red color and sparks where shooting off of it.
   " W-what?" She stammered out.
  She reached out her hand and layed it on the face of the mirror. She felt static electricity run through her hand and up her arm. There was a mighty bright flash of red light, as Thea fell backwards. The next thing she new, a man stood before her. He was dressed in an old time wizard robe. She scrambled backwards. 
  "Thank you for releasing me from my prison." He spoke to her.
 " W-who a-are you?" She asked. 
" Never mind that. You won't live long enough for that to be important. " He answered.
 Thea's heart leaped. What did he mean by that? Was he going to kill her? Well, if he was she wasn't going to make it easy for him.
  Thea got up and ran. She made it as far as the hall before he caught her. 
" Where do you think your going?"
  She kneed him in the privets, and his grip on her loosened. 
 She made a run for it again. With a simple wave of his hand, Thea was frozen in place.
  " Try that again and I'll turn you inside out." He growled at her.
 " Please don't kill me." Thea whispered. 
 " Kill the one to release me from my prison? No. I'm not going to kill you yet. You would have to have a  incredible amount of power to release me." 
 " W-what?" 
  "Power I'm going to need if I'm going to get my revenge against thoughs who stuck me in that blasted mirror. "
