"Here's your coffee, miss."
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBaLeWxhvz
"Oh. Right, sorry." The waiter smiled.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ15qrMbD0
Warm scent tingled my senses.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnigsYW3NXC
Attraction.

I took a sip from my cup. Great, even the coffee is cold.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd9dMG6w9T
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr6gZxyPnY
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaUQMnOlRb
Unable to breathe, I grabbed my bag, put some paper bills on the table and went my way.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws4VZVjX4b
The streets are so quiet. One would think mortals aren't overwhelming.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2YODzbcK7
I take a look at my back, making sure I wasn't followed.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQsHwAE07g
I'm on the run.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3hpZL3SWy
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy5vsBzgLN
The fallen. The descent. Night creatures, as we now call them.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pYdG3nQyI
However, I'm somewhat in between. An abomination, if you ask them. Cursed, and according to the High Souls, I must be annihilated.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS3CKVRJjh
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0q1Eq7h08
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzfuUAPi89
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM2VqaYurI
Before I proceed, I whispered a protective spell to hide me from mortal eyes. Just in case things don't go as planned.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0RhIu1j1I
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7afs7FiEAh
The brightness caused me to close my eyes abruptly as dark mist surrounded the alley.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZRjovCx7u
Cold air filled my lungs, and the brightness vanished. I opened my eyes only to find myself floating in the abyss.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrFQ5vzmuu
I'm inside the mirror, I thought.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7IfvEiwWB
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyruDQVZRHV
My eyes squinted as I adjusted from the sudden change. I feel the earth on my feet. Birds chirping. Waves crashing the sea.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW4qpJjjfA
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMtWzQddmS
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz8Bm17YAa
I remember my mother's hanging garden in our backyard. Father's hand-crafted vintas. My heart swelled at the memory.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoyoaDh9RE
I took two steps, and the world shook beneath my feet.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xwWKA4QU2
"No no no! Not yet!" But the mirror does not listen to its intruder.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh24EkDbgAx
My mind is swirling. The ground gave away, and I'm falling, my arms flailing as I fell.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1xwuuijei
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdYBN4EvuQ
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOt8ztbPnX
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.
