"Here's your coffee, miss."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1J9NXsOEq
"Oh. Right, sorry." The waiter smiled.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy44hWsltvw
Warm scent tingled my senses.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxXP3i0ydX
Attraction.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE2YCLKfBt
I took a sip from my cup. Great, even the coffee is cold.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfobJyKjDm5
Usually, I'm able to control my ability from surfacing, but with the blood moon drawing near, my senses are somewhat heightened.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeE74B3rm3
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHKaLZ7JGl
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLB3wIhXrv
Unable to breathe, I grabbed my bag, put some paper bills on the table and went my way.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj7t0G9aCc
The streets are so quiet. One would think mortals aren't overwhelming.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DSromF3pO
I take a look at my back, making sure I wasn't followed.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPeWkVxAg3
I'm on the run.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6tm5xuLbJ
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PgCotZoMq
The fallen. The descent. Night creatures, as we now call them.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzdaFEZJVg
However, I'm somewhat in between. An abomination, if you ask them. Cursed, and according to the High Souls, I must be annihilated.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IfdbrxuwU
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4BPx5MjIy
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcgmgcN5lQ
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwykP2bOQC
Before I proceed, I whispered a protective spell to hide me from mortal eyes. Just in case things don't go as planned.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QKqoak8ge
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lJChG96Gi
The brightness caused me to close my eyes abruptly as dark mist surrounded the alley.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOMgL5kH2I
Cold air filled my lungs, and the brightness vanished. I opened my eyes only to find myself floating in the abyss.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA6fL4JTqe
I'm inside the mirror, I thought.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2mZVD2UAn
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAccAeWHrlK
My eyes squinted as I adjusted from the sudden change. I feel the earth on my feet. Birds chirping. Waves crashing the sea.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQfDvMSX6W
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6o0DWFLRw
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx6bjmSZqo
I remember my mother's hanging garden in our backyard. Father's hand-crafted vintas. My heart swelled at the memory.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo37sBnZI9M
I took two steps, and the world shook beneath my feet.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZTcOy6tXe
"No no no! Not yet!" But the mirror does not listen to its intruder.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhd0apqeIx
My mind is swirling. The ground gave away, and I'm falling, my arms flailing as I fell.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFk0wlazTK
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlKiFoGLQB
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSigN4FpPWS
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.
