"Here's your coffee, miss."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4LAJna9xE
"Oh. Right, sorry." The waiter smiled.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRZbA8xBLw
Warm scent tingled my senses.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7UilGEKkG
Attraction.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZMebak08o
I took a sip from my cup. Great, even the coffee is cold.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec8zFuFhsP
Usually, I'm able to control my ability from surfacing, but with the blood moon drawing near, my senses are somewhat heightened.

I shook my head for the nth time today. It helps refresh my mind a bit, somehow, to compose myself from sucking the essence out of everyone I stumble upon. It's barely 10 am, and I'm on my fourth coffee but my headache keeps getting worse.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUYbShtVs2
I could just stay home but then Andres would be there, and I have no time to deal with his emotions, which ironically, I'm dealing with a lot of those right now.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu0iriT78G
Unable to breathe, I grabbed my bag, put some paper bills on the table and went my way.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNALtK1apbU
The streets are so quiet. One would think mortals aren't overwhelming.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ejVsVZPs
I take a look at my back, making sure I wasn't followed.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHRXfhv1HV
I'm on the run.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB54QLkKAOe
For the past two centuries, my kind has been hunted down to extinction. I'm not even sure if I should be pleased that I wasn't one of the fallen.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjUIUHQEBt
The fallen. The descent. Night creatures, as we now call them.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JFsmv41RR
However, I'm somewhat in between. An abomination, if you ask them. Cursed, and according to the High Souls, I must be annihilated.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrPPEArTmq
Ten minutes of walking and I'm sure no one has followed me. I slid into an alley and took the mirror from my pouch.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHE6uepCEu
Occulu de Desiro. Mirror of desires. It’s a portal that leads you to your greatest wish. But to open it, you have to offer your deepest, darkest secret.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs26vccq0s
It’s a small circle mirror with intricate details of vines around the edges. There's a glamour on its surface to keep it hidden from mortal eyes.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwP5kjESK4
Before I proceed, I whispered a protective spell to hide me from mortal eyes. Just in case things don't go as planned.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKtE8uoleB
I held out the mirror, and with a shaky breath, I whispered my secret. "I am Sienna Nightfire, the last living descendant of the Esencea Bloodline." The mirror took my offer with a glowing light bursting from it.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIySONHfNn
The brightness caused me to close my eyes abruptly as dark mist surrounded the alley.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBvXHZMZJB
Cold air filled my lungs, and the brightness vanished. I opened my eyes only to find myself floating in the abyss.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufYOxCFw8E
I'm inside the mirror, I thought.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNFI5sx9uS
I looked around, and a dim light came from my left. Instantly, I found myself swimming towards it. The light became brighter as I got near, and then suddenly, it stopped.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkI3RmtfSF
My eyes squinted as I adjusted from the sudden change. I feel the earth on my feet. Birds chirping. Waves crashing the sea.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOySbfruyD
When I can finally see clearly where I am, I couldn't believe it. The mirror brought me to the place my heart long the most. My island.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61evhvPqSJ
Hidden from the sight of any creature who dare to find it. A house stood at the center of the mass. Old, and abandoned for 18 years. My parents' house.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy9bHOuecX
I remember my mother's hanging garden in our backyard. Father's hand-crafted vintas. My heart swelled at the memory.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGyhN5CLmH
I took two steps, and the world shook beneath my feet.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq06WPwQBW
"No no no! Not yet!" But the mirror does not listen to its intruder.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdYIn3FBUm
My mind is swirling. The ground gave away, and I'm falling, my arms flailing as I fell.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKbZgb7opt
This time, I couldn't fight back the sob. Two years of planning in stealing the most sacred item of the Faes, and I only get to have a minute to savor its worth.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBQDHc3AV0
A few seconds later I heard a thud. I'm back in the alley, the mist backing away inside the mirror, and I watch it break into pieces.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMySVSiilx
This is it, then. It'll only take about an hour for the magic to reach the Spiritus, and I'll be hunted to death; not that I'm not already. My life has always been a step away from death.
