Jojen Reed One Shots

the girl in the water p2

I sat in my room pondering as I often did watching the marshwater from my rooms window, the flickers of the flames that lit the walkway to grey water, the orange light causing reflections on the water broken up only by the lizard lions who swam back and forth to the rocks. A few of them perched there resting on the rocks as they often did and I looked at their reflection as clear as day in a mirror of the world.

I was so confused about it all. How did I see her? How did I hear her? How did she blow me little kisses? In those moments she seemed as real to me as anyone else. I sighed and looked back at the lizard lions reflection and I saw not only the rocks. The trees. The lizard lions. But her. Perched on the rocks with them as I had seen her reflection before, perfect and sweet. I looked up to the rocks and nothing but in the water she was as clear and real as the lizard lions. 

She smiled at me and waved so I waved back, she blew me a sweet kiss so I blew her one back too. But she disappeared. I looked everywhere for her reflection but nothing so I came inside shutting my window. I went and ran myself a hot bath to try and take my mind if it once I was full I began to strip my clothes off and it was then I saw her. Her face reflected in my still bathwater as if she was leant on my tub she giggled at me and moved away as if moving back from the tub. I ignored it likely my mind playing tricks. So I climbed into the tub and began to wash myself for a while, but once I was done I stopped and let the water go still the only thing moving it slightly was my breaths and again I saw her reflection this time as if she was in the bath with me sat at the other end I grabbed at the reflection getting nothing but water and of course destroying her reflection 

"Jojen." She giggled "you can look but mustn't touch" she whispered 

"What are you?"

"A Specter. Trapped within the water's gaze" she's smiled 

"How is it… I can see you?"

"We shared a time in the water"

"We did?" I asked letting it go still again so again I could see her 

"Your fever. Don't you remember"

"When I was sick. I was so close to death… that when you died we were Spector's together weren't we. Only moment's apart but I survived"

"So I wait"

"You're waiting… for me?" 

"Ummm it's okay I don't mind waiting."

"So when I die… I'll go with you?"

"Umm hum" she nods 

"So until then your just stuck like this?"

"Yes but it's okay I rather like it" she smiled moving for a moment I was confused I lost her again but she appeared beside my own reflection as if cuddled up with me "I don't mind to wait." She smiled giving my cheek a little kiss and it was like I felt it like I felt her sweet little kiss as real as anything. "Come on or you'll get cold" she says one again her reflection disappearing I climbed out my bath and looked around for her again and I saw her reflection in my goblet of water beside my bed so I followed her reflection to my bed.
