Through The Mirror

Chapter 29

     The day starts out pretty great. I wake up after several hours of sleep. No Mr. Dee knocking on my door, shaking me awake, yelling for me to get up. Just a normal morning, it was pretty nice. I doubt I'll get more mornings like this. I'll soon have so much work that I'll probably barely function. I feel like staying here forever but I know that I'll never get anything done. I get out of bed and take my time getting ready. I actually don't look that dead today.
     I make a normal black coffee and head out the door. I feel like visiting Emsly. I haven't seen her since the day she decided to become a demon. I've just been too caught up to visit her. I feel bad about it, because I am the reason she decided to come. She looked up to me. I have to prove that she actually has something to look up to. I will succeed in this revolution. Then just maybe she'll have a reason to have me as her idol.
     It took me a bit, but I finally found where she lived. It took me about half an hour of asking around to figure it out. I knock on the front door and nobody answers for a few minutes. I guess no one is home, I turn around and start walking away. Then the door opens. "Amara? Is that you?" I turn around and see the monster that I created. "Yeah, it's me." I say and she motions me to come inside. She has dark circles under her eyes as if she hadn't slept for days and her walking strides were so slow and sluggish. Emsly led me to the living room couch and sat along next to me.

"So how have you been Emsly?"
"I will be okay, it's just been a hard transition."
"Oh I'm sorry. Is there anything I could do to help?"
"No, no. It's fine, really. The hard work I do now will pay off."
"Yeah I guess so."
"You're doing great works that will eventually pay off, am I right?"
"Yeah. It's not just for me though. I'm doing this for all of the demons."
"Well you should probably get to work." Emsly let out a small laugh.
"Yeah. It was nice talking. I'll see you another time."

     I make my way to the church and sit in one of the middle pews. They never lock the doors, but no one is here because the lights are out. I get up and walk towards the podium. A candle light shows up looking at the mirror. I turn around and see Mr. Dee walking my way. "Sorry if I frightened you, I just saw you walk in." Mr. Dee said. "No, you didn't frighten me."  We take a seat in the first pew and he looks up at me.

"How would you feel if you started your first speech back on Earth tomorrow?"
"Sounds interesting. Where exactly were you thinking?"
"I was thinking you should pay a visit to your hometown, not just visiting your family."
"Seems smart, I'll do it."

     I walk out the doors right after. I usually feel pretty safe walking home in the dark, but tonight is different. Something is following me from in the distance. I turn around to see a dark figure. It was there one second, but then disappeared. I turned around to see it staring in my face. A rag was held over my mouth and then I fainted. I was dragged away not knowing what's happening in my surroundings.
