There is a living misconception that people have about ghosts. They think that they're  these hidden entities that appear as translucent shades. The true reality is a ghost is nothing more than an imprint left in your mind. Certain things trigger them and once a ghost was triggered, the subject cannot stop the image that will flood into their mind. Psychologists got it wrong with their need brand such things as trauma or PTSD. Magic had the answer but in this moment Frederick was in no place to explain it.<br/><br/><br/>How she was responding to the situation was different, the fact that instead of breaking the cuffs she channeled her mind’s eye more aggressively was different. With the loud thud Frederick's eyes went wide and he felt a familiar chill. Within an instant his mind was propelled back within the flow of time.<br/><br/><br/>Before him was a young Tatiana, she looked the way she looked when he first took her under his wing. Frederick put her through an initial trial and the scene replayed like old footage before his eyes. She was defiant like Alice, when Frederick had he try to stop a flame as it slowly approached she accomplished the task. It wasn’t by controlling the fire by any means, no she stopped the flow of time around the fire completely.<br/><br/><br/>Alice managed to shift a small current of momentum, someone first learning to reality bruise would find a feat incredibly difficult. In that moment she revealed herself as a true contender, someone who will one day surpass him. A few seconds passed after she spoke, and as the film faded he looked back to his rebellious captive.<br/><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4dffff">“Well I hate to burst your bubble Alice but I lost the keys to the handcuffs. Just like how you redirected that knife you’re going to need to close your eyes, feel passed the metal and unlatch the handcuffs. If you can do that, you can leave, we will never talk again and I will not physically stop you from walking out of that door.” </span><br/><br/><br/>That was of course a partially true statement, Frederick enchanted that door to create an endless loop. The moment she steps across the Threshold she enters back into the room.<br/><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4dffff">“The sooner you bruise reality again the sooner you get to leave,” </span>he said as he moved to face her, his hands shoved in his pockets.
