"Here's your coffee, miss."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrA2iAOhjg
"Oh. Right, sorry." The waiter smiled.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPsQkMGd65
Warm scent tingled my senses.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrY6CZk6Ri
Attraction.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlwhcGM6Qk
I took a sip from my cup. Great, even the coffee is cold.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqTLmOvmMF
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatXjwNnikA
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n4GgrgNSs
Unable to breathe, I grabbed my bag, put some paper bills on the table and went my way.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1MWDCAzUw
The streets are so quiet. One would think mortals aren't overwhelming.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruBPytIEpD
I take a look at my back, making sure I wasn't followed.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LuMNq9e1Q
I'm on the run.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25StRVV5zv
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bj0O0R8WU
The fallen. The descent. Night creatures, as we now call them.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4XeSpsFWx
However, I'm somewhat in between. An abomination, if you ask them. Cursed, and according to the High Souls, I must be annihilated.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7snHt2Q5aj
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMmjvxoFxA
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yg0XzV0i1
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLotyBi3zb
Before I proceed, I whispered a protective spell to hide me from mortal eyes. Just in case things don't go as planned.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJYet0y3SO
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3KiZub2UK
The brightness caused me to close my eyes abruptly as dark mist surrounded the alley.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38nH60Evsy
Cold air filled my lungs, and the brightness vanished. I opened my eyes only to find myself floating in the abyss.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQzwrhK4ba
I'm inside the mirror, I thought.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkptkV9P1av
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiidE5w78cj
My eyes squinted as I adjusted from the sudden change. I feel the earth on my feet. Birds chirping. Waves crashing the sea.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCPnhsTx29
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvqSEi0EtU
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nrbLr4oum
I remember my mother's hanging garden in our backyard. Father's hand-crafted vintas. My heart swelled at the memory.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhOxU9FGVd
I took two steps, and the world shook beneath my feet.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMGowQ7uHk
"No no no! Not yet!" But the mirror does not listen to its intruder.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ofj5AIa11
My mind is swirling. The ground gave away, and I'm falling, my arms flailing as I fell.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKzzxChJBy
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbseK7auUtT
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAihvMUkf4
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.
