Elysium

Sal 21

I had no idea where Leo went, and honestly, I didn't really want to know. I needed to find Sal's mirror before he got to it. I could hear frustrated yelling and furniture being thrown apart throughout the house. He was definitely looking for them. I sigh and rub my eyes, doubting if Sal's mirror was even in the library anymore. Lucius probably said that just to trick me, right? I mean I was in the library often and I had never seen it in there since that hidden room closed up. I wonder if he'll ever be able to rest now that he was free of me, I guess mirrors alone weren't going to be enough to save my loved ones. I make my way to the library to see the bookshelves knocked over, books scattered across the room, a complete disaster. He had already been here. I walk over the fallen shelves, to see the mirror at the end of the room, patiently waiting for me. White stoned and lovely, Sal's name was engraved into it. I gasp, Lucius had been honest after all. I wonder how Leo had not been able to find it, the mirror was right in front of my eyes. I face it, Sal stares back at me hesitantly.

"Are you sure?"

He says in a quiet whisper.

"Always."

I reply, just as soft.

"Reficul-"

The demon's foul voice growls from the entrance of the room.

"Don't you dare enter that mirror."

"Just you try and stop me."

I turn around and walk into Sal's mirror.

In the distance an explosion of sorts could be heard, erupting from the desolated Library.

You barely made it- God chuckles into my ear. A second less and the mirror would've been swallowed up in flames. I sigh and roll my eyes.

"Show me him, please."

You've grown impatient, it seems your true nature is slowly starting to return to you. Suddenly I was sitting on train tracks, staring at the sky. You tried killing yourself in so many gruesome ways, today you decided that getting hit by a train was the best option.

"Why would you do that to yourself, Miss Reficul?"

Lucius stared in horror at the beautiful demon, her hair blowing in the wind.

"I won't actually die, I just like trying." She smiled, still carrying a heavy sadness.

"But I'm here now, can't we just be together?" Reficul stared at the boy in awe, her eyes quickly turned bitter with regret.

"I need two souls in order for the spell to work."

"The one that makes you forget who you are?"

She nods, a smile on her face. Lucius didn't want to admit it, but he was actually excited for you to become his. He really adored you and believed that he truly could make you happy. In all honesty you were feeling much better with him by your side, you were no longer alone and you had grown attached to him. Reficul danced gracefully onto the tracks, her long hair blowing elegantly.

"Watch this!"

She winks, a train was coming by, it honked desperately for her to get out of the way. Lucius stared in horror, wishing she'd stop this sick game of hers.

"NO!"

Another young boy around Lucius' age leaped into Reficul, tackling her off the tracks. Lucius and Reficul both stared at him in shock.

"Are you stupid? You could've gotten yourself killed!"

The demon snarled at the boy.

"Me? You were the one trying to kill yourself!"
