"Here's your coffee, miss."
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3tODl1xf8
"Oh. Right, sorry." The waiter smiled.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DG7cCvpFs
Warm scent tingled my senses.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaLQjgx2S5
Attraction.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uzPB95pKn
I took a sip from my cup. Great, even the coffee is cold.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxMaMTtEAM
Usually, I'm able to control my ability from surfacing, but with the blood moon drawing near, my senses are somewhat heightened.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5YkxciKq8
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVCUaK2VfA
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLm1DtU9Ki
Unable to breathe, I grabbed my bag, put some paper bills on the table and went my way.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjmLogcPvI
The streets are so quiet. One would think mortals aren't overwhelming.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKwDRngT37
I take a look at my back, making sure I wasn't followed.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvJOAY7Iwn
I'm on the run.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYqJzzZy7y
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrslHGCiqbp
The fallen. The descent. Night creatures, as we now call them.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohNFCIHNdG
However, I'm somewhat in between. An abomination, if you ask them. Cursed, and according to the High Souls, I must be annihilated.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVltOly7qw4
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZrTrdBQrr
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3GxLyIGfk
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLv0MmukOX
Before I proceed, I whispered a protective spell to hide me from mortal eyes. Just in case things don't go as planned.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMd66cSCM3
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTyggBPJkz
The brightness caused me to close my eyes abruptly as dark mist surrounded the alley.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcPy7I6hlt
Cold air filled my lungs, and the brightness vanished. I opened my eyes only to find myself floating in the abyss.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC0XnRIk3q
I'm inside the mirror, I thought.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmcAX7sVKF
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdsb6Ziy4D
My eyes squinted as I adjusted from the sudden change. I feel the earth on my feet. Birds chirping. Waves crashing the sea.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S4MBLc2gL
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYsLgUbJwj
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWufUi6dVT
I remember my mother's hanging garden in our backyard. Father's hand-crafted vintas. My heart swelled at the memory.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ000o1Y3wuK
I took two steps, and the world shook beneath my feet.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ZIe9kWdN
"No no no! Not yet!" But the mirror does not listen to its intruder.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFYdcpnWXy
My mind is swirling. The ground gave away, and I'm falling, my arms flailing as I fell.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRf9nGCs4G
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRsGwiaxH2
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93hhRcxAfy
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.
