"Here's your coffee, miss."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU6eYiKmYa
"Oh. Right, sorry." The waiter smiled.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpOScbUNVs
Warm scent tingled my senses.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFA0yfGXlI
Attraction.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy70RjYZyaN
I took a sip from my cup. Great, even the coffee is cold.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yCOYNx8Ha
Usually, I'm able to control my ability from surfacing, but with the blood moon drawing near, my senses are somewhat heightened.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDwG1OKqo5
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnmhSBSG5o
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmoYAYp25I
Unable to breathe, I grabbed my bag, put some paper bills on the table and went my way.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDNZXiYXxt
The streets are so quiet. One would think mortals aren't overwhelming.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JOIHWfD5Y
I take a look at my back, making sure I wasn't followed.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNvzBLhsJL
I'm on the run.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvqgOZKyxI
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYEe0d7Sfq
The fallen. The descent. Night creatures, as we now call them.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdLHQBkBpP
However, I'm somewhat in between. An abomination, if you ask them. Cursed, and according to the High Souls, I must be annihilated.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3OhXaqS61
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWl9lZi8cT
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr6ahk5bYj
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO32PtELie
Before I proceed, I whispered a protective spell to hide me from mortal eyes. Just in case things don't go as planned.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX4nXLrntj
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGYGNGNpez
The brightness caused me to close my eyes abruptly as dark mist surrounded the alley.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao3PqlAVYE
Cold air filled my lungs, and the brightness vanished. I opened my eyes only to find myself floating in the abyss.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuLgyijt4E
I'm inside the mirror, I thought.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZztO71PNk
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGH0q0Giwu
My eyes squinted as I adjusted from the sudden change. I feel the earth on my feet. Birds chirping. Waves crashing the sea.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSjfjQDu7L
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2pjojXXKi
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX1vxnXuob
I remember my mother's hanging garden in our backyard. Father's hand-crafted vintas. My heart swelled at the memory.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSFuiXuQ72
I took two steps, and the world shook beneath my feet.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLoCxzWXhO
"No no no! Not yet!" But the mirror does not listen to its intruder.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJOgNqO1Ol
My mind is swirling. The ground gave away, and I'm falling, my arms flailing as I fell.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAQEnbuJCv
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPH7RSvoy2
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdE1VjGkkU
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.
