"Here's your coffee, miss."
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNCu4usSav
"Oh. Right, sorry." The waiter smiled.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQjG8YFe7H
Warm scent tingled my senses.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniIRsQo1oS
Attraction.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EnAJQAz37
I took a sip from my cup. Great, even the coffee is cold.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9bog5CIve
Usually, I'm able to control my ability from surfacing, but with the blood moon drawing near, my senses are somewhat heightened.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5AUa1kFjT
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cNOnaVoUq
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3diqnrDdkX
Unable to breathe, I grabbed my bag, put some paper bills on the table and went my way.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakAjHnhd7s
The streets are so quiet. One would think mortals aren't overwhelming.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsFw5e1DFN
I take a look at my back, making sure I wasn't followed.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdoRc3cPuY
I'm on the run.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9LiXD4enV
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgO0I9SMRd
The fallen. The descent. Night creatures, as we now call them.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5nZN57a3E
However, I'm somewhat in between. An abomination, if you ask them. Cursed, and according to the High Souls, I must be annihilated.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb6P4ocmPS
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ge9K1NSKT
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wBUgKGlZX
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnW1BuxYNK
Before I proceed, I whispered a protective spell to hide me from mortal eyes. Just in case things don't go as planned.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxl5F1bauW
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgjxMnMW1X
The brightness caused me to close my eyes abruptly as dark mist surrounded the alley.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLWJjROdcp
Cold air filled my lungs, and the brightness vanished. I opened my eyes only to find myself floating in the abyss.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIc59YYBPM
I'm inside the mirror, I thought.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKcEj5unTp
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTJGBLn15C
My eyes squinted as I adjusted from the sudden change. I feel the earth on my feet. Birds chirping. Waves crashing the sea.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7sJBo2Zcu
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3QWzN8Avy
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuiCau84Ez
I remember my mother's hanging garden in our backyard. Father's hand-crafted vintas. My heart swelled at the memory.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGSE64Ppi
I took two steps, and the world shook beneath my feet.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy8vyJC6KM
"No no no! Not yet!" But the mirror does not listen to its intruder.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxarVdBZ9ad
My mind is swirling. The ground gave away, and I'm falling, my arms flailing as I fell.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtvLxPfest
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZuImyuy4c
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.
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh3FazFmOx
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.
