Splintered- Alyssa & Morpheus

Chapter 2

Okay, I just want to mention that fangirls have Asperger Syndrome. We are obsessed by a subject and it brings us joy. We create an encyclopedia of knowledge around that subject. It interferes with school work, social relationships, and other aspects of daily life.

I emerged back in my own room. The shattered glass was still all over the floor from my broken mirror, and every piece of clothing I owned seemed to be strewn on the floor. Why hadn't Lilli- oh. Of course. Right. Human world, no magical servants. I sighed and began sweeping up the shards of glass.

After ten minutes or an hour of cleaning my room, the phone rang. I grinned, grateful for the distraction.

"Hello?"

"Uh... Hey Alyssa! It's Jeb."

"Hi Jeb!"

"You're finally back?"

"Yeah."

"Can you come to the gardens?"

"Of course! Meet you there in ten."

"See you then. Bye."

"Bye." I ran downstairs, yanked on my combat boots, and reached for the door before pausing. I dashed to the mirror. Tiara off. Hair combed. Dress laced up tighter. Fishnet stockings adjusted. Dark red lipstick on. Mascara. Satisfied that I was ready, I went back to the door and started walking towards the gardens.

"Hey Alyssa."

"Jeb!" I ran towards and hugged him. Jeb kissed me. I giggled softly and held him tighter. This should feel so right. Butterflies. I should feel like flying. I hadn't seen my boyfriend in weeks. But I felt... regret, almost. My stomach felt empty. And how could I feel like flying when my wings were trapped? I must just... not be used to the human realm. Yes, of course that was it. In a few hours, or days, or something, I would feel exhilarated just to be near Jeb again, like I always used to.  So... why was something so wrong? Why did I feel better when it was... Morpheus?
