The lost interview

The meeting chapter 1

"Let's start"

"My name is Goldy..."
"I don't remember my last name...let's just say it's marigold"

"Goldy?"

"That's your real name?"

"No sir but it's the name I went by when I turned"

"Strange but continue"

"It was years ago I was only 16"

New Orleans 1910

I heard my mother yelling at my sister I walked through the house following the sound

"Momma I like him you can't get mad at me for that"

"Yes I can when he's aking you stupid in the head"

They were in the kitchen fighting it was constantly like that Lilith fell for any man who gave her attention

Momma wanted her to stop or find better men to go with I didn't care much as long as my sister was safe I was fine with it

I heard someone knocking Lilith smiled running to answer the door I followed behind her momma still yelling at her

the door open

there stood a boy my age he was tall and had long hair tied back his eyes were green like emeralds he was tanner than me

Her smile fell when she saw him she wasn't looking for him
My mother stepped in front of her inviting him in

"Momma who is that?"

He smiled wide he had sharp canines similar to animal fangs

"I'm leaving my dates here"

Momma know she wasn't gonna get through to her

"Come back before midnight would ya"

"Yes ma'am"

I watched as my sister left in a car of a random man who looked a little to old for her I shut the door turning to my mother

"This is Osiris I asked him to be here since he just moved you can show him around"

"Nice to meet you"

He had an accent similar to mines he was a charmer real pretty

"So that was the first time you saw him standing in your home"

"Yes it was he had my mother fooled with his charm to anyone he was a kind boy"

I nodded at my mother agreeing to show him around his smile didn't fade we left walking through the city

As usual, there were many people around partying or doing other things

I showed him many different places I thought he would like

Strangely we became friends
We had fun I enjoyed every second I spent with him we talked about anything

but something was always nagging at me

he was like an old friend
He told me about his family the stories he told sounded like fairy tales

then one day it changed

I noticed the window as we passed a store his reflection wasn't normal

I saw myself he was a shadow behind me all you could see was his silhouette

I stopped walking
watched him turn towards the glass his eyes were the only thing I could see they were glowing like green fire

His silhouette had horns sticking up from his head he looked like a demon

I noticed we were alone no one was around

"Are you scared?"

Who in their right mind tells someone that

why was his reflection like that what was he I had so many questions

I felt his hands guiding me away from the window he was laughing I was lost

"I later learned to live with our strange friendship I avoid looking at him through reflection scared of what I would see staring back at me"

"I still loved him no matter what but he scared me the same"
