This choice: noticed a mysterious glow coming from a room. • Go Back...Chapter #4noticed a mysterious glow coming from a room. by: Fenrir   Mick suddenly noticed a mysterious glow coming from a room. As he maneuvered his way through the worn corridors of the abandoned house, he made his way into said room. The room was mostly rounded with a bed of tattered sheets in the corner, worn curtains and some kind of desk of unknown purpose. In the room, there also was a rack containing a long tattered dress and whatever was causing the glow, but a piece of cloth was covering it.
Mick removed the cloth and noticed it was hiding a mirror, though it was covering with dust. Mick wiped off the dust and the mirror was giving off a distinct glow, nothing blinding, but almost as if emanating an aura of some kind. Looking into the mirror, Mick saw a distorted version of the room, as if looking at it through one of those funky mirrors in a fun house room. The most curious thing about it however was that he could not see his own reflection in the mirror, instead he saw a woman, dressed in a long dress, much like the one that was hanging to the side, just in better shape and it was almost as if she could see him too.
The woman inside the mirror looked back with a cold gaze although the distortion made it difficult to distinguish exactly what she looked like. As if a lion spotting prey, the woman flashed a wicked grin and an unsettling laugh echoed through the room. Mick felt a cold shiver running through his body as his vision started to go blurry.
Mick saw a blur of the woman move closer and closer to the mirror as he felt his spirit slowly being yanked out of his body. Mick had a proper out of body experience as his spirit was fully released and was being pulled towards the mirror. Mick looked to his side and to his horror, as his spirit was leaving his body, the woman's body was leaving the mirror and with a wicked grin, her specter entered Mick's body.
His vision becoming clear again, Mick felt quite weird. As he looked around, he found himself in a mirrored and distorted version of the room. He looked down at himself and he seemed normal, though he did have a slightly spectral appearance to him now. But the real shock came when he looked into the mirror. The other side was now completely clear, but even more than that, he saw his own body, only it was definitely not his reflection, it was moving completely on it's own.
"Oh finally, I'm free from that damned prison." His body spoke as it looked him dead in the eyes. "Oh dear, you must be utterly confused right now aren't you?" It spoke in a demeaning tone.
"What is happening?" Mick said panicking.
"Oh nothing special, I was trapped in that damn mirror for what feels like an eternity, but you just gave me the perfect way to escape." Mick's body explained.
"You are the woman I saw, you took my body. Who are you?" Mick asked feeling terrified.
"My name is Cassandra and I am a witch, this used to be my home but one of my experiments destroyed my body and imprisoned my in that damn relic." Mick's body spoke again.
"So you swapped places with me, leaving me here while you take my body?" Mick asked.
"Now you're catching on." Cassandra winked. "Although I have to say, I dreaded the thought of taking a man's body, but yours will do for now." She continued as she inspected her new body, not particularly impressed.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
