"Here's your coffee, miss."
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLiKYlsipW
"Oh. Right, sorry." The waiter smiled.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwIY1t9Tb2
Warm scent tingled my senses.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6in2ClJdyY
Attraction.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwecMmiGle
I took a sip from my cup. Great, even the coffee is cold.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bprrEPOMF
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDi8UjrhuA
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJW7rzUUVZ
Unable to breathe, I grabbed my bag, put some paper bills on the table and went my way.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1JLHQFK0g
The streets are so quiet. One would think mortals aren't overwhelming.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SA1G2u50T
I take a look at my back, making sure I wasn't followed.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhevgeEayXV
I'm on the run.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1PeRHUbzv
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyisR6DyNP0
The fallen. The descent. Night creatures, as we now call them.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLcnlpXFYP
However, I'm somewhat in between. An abomination, if you ask them. Cursed, and according to the High Souls, I must be annihilated.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qOgZI96Bz
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErg2LFd4UA
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Ia2kv5ly
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaKa5BlhKd
Before I proceed, I whispered a protective spell to hide me from mortal eyes. Just in case things don't go as planned.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8hOaJl9fm
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR7ow2Kl82
The brightness caused me to close my eyes abruptly as dark mist surrounded the alley.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWggmotD8Q
Cold air filled my lungs, and the brightness vanished. I opened my eyes only to find myself floating in the abyss.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpxB02IlnG
I'm inside the mirror, I thought.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF9lFL3LL1
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUYdETqxeA
My eyes squinted as I adjusted from the sudden change. I feel the earth on my feet. Birds chirping. Waves crashing the sea.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pHdE0f6PM
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywhaf7LLeX
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9l894iE1V
I remember my mother's hanging garden in our backyard. Father's hand-crafted vintas. My heart swelled at the memory.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXC3nYr6FY
I took two steps, and the world shook beneath my feet.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2HMZum5He
"No no no! Not yet!" But the mirror does not listen to its intruder.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ds16QLQJQ
My mind is swirling. The ground gave away, and I'm falling, my arms flailing as I fell.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZrLun0UuV
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaGxtKY5ed
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.
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnByPA2FJFM
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.
