Reflections of Mist

Explanation

Nyx settled herself by Maddie​. "Right. Uh... Give me a sec. Right."

The others had moved a short distance off, giving them space.
Alysha was hissing directions at the others, hissing being the key word as it sounded little more than an inaudible buzz from Maddie and Nyx's alcove.

Voice dry and husky, Maddie spoke through chapped lips, eyes looking at  A Nyx scarily unfocused.
"Iknow some of it already. It just doesn't make sense."

"Oh." Nyx nibbled her lip nervously. "Right. I'm guessing someone told you."

"I'm not stupid. I do notice things, you know." Maddie's deadpan voice was making Nyx anxious.
Obviously, she wasn't happy, although her exact emotions were disguised.

"What... Kind of stuff have you noticed?" Nyx ventured tentatively.

"You. And him. Something's between you. He acts like he knows you. And you reciprocate."

Nyx scratched the back of her head nervously, turning her face away as so not to meet Maddie's eyes.
"Oh."
Shit, this was difficult.

"Um... And don't freak out... We kind of... Know each other. Don't freak out!" Maddie had opened her mouth to speak, anger and hurt in her eyes, but Nyx cut her across, holding up her hands like she was trying to sooth a scared animal.
"There's an explanation, I didn't just invite him to lunch on a whim or anything.
See, it started the last time we were here. Remember how Lilith separated me from you guys?
Well, somehow, she triggered my powers... Or possibly Alysha's powers, I'm confused on that one myself... And it somehow... Basically, he's his own reflection. He has his memories, looks like him although I'm pretty convinced he's a mirror image version just because of how weird it feels looking at him, I didn't mean to do it, total accident, don't report me to the Clave. Please. Or at least give me a headstart.
Anyway, he basically sought me out, I felt kind of responsible, he felt hella guilty, and... Stuff happened.
Now we're here."

Maddie raised an eyebrow. "You skimmed over a lot of stuff."

"I'm sorry, I don't own a play-by-play film of the previous month's. If I did,you could have it."

Maddie laughed, shaking her head. Then went serious. "I'm not kidding though, you do know how dangerous he is, right? Seriously, you have to be careful. More careful."

Sorry for not updating yesterday, I was in London.
I always intend to let you know the day prior if I can't update the next day, but often don't remember till last minute.
So if I don't update and you don't know why, assume I'm on some long day out.
Usually, I put a brief last minute message on my noticeboard saying if I can't update because I'm out for the day, so you could always check there to confirm.
