The Death Wish

Protectors

 On the inside, I was screaming. It seemed as if I was frozen in time and their was no way to fast forward. Blood pumped through my ears loudly. This... This thing was what came out of the mirror... Huddling against the cabinets under the sink I stuttered, " Y- You... Wha- What are you doing here? You- Your not.. real..."

Reflection tilted her head curiously, staring blankly in my direction before grinning slowly, revealing her bloodied daggers, " Not real?" She was in front of my petrified face in a second as I shrieked, covering my face, " Oh dear.. Have I frightened you? You poor thing," she spat. Her thin scarred hand dug into my jaw as she tilted my head to the side and whispered darkly, " Just because you can't see us doesn't mean we don't exist. Just because you fear me... Just because you fear does not give you the leniency to become ignorant." The beast tightened her grip, blood dripped from my skin, trailing on to her fingers and wrist.

The other Reflection took the other by the wrist tightly, " Calm yourself Ferus, hurting our host will do you no good." My mind was fogged with questions, her name was Ferus? It didn't sound American, Latin possably? Ferus whipped her gaze fiercely upon Reflection, her eyes formed into slits.

" Amo, you have no right-"

" I have every right as a protector, now release your grip, Nocturna Suppressio," Amo calmly sighed before tightening her own firm grip on Ferus' wrist. She stared intently and the girl who's face was twisted with rage, disappeared into a cocky grin.

Ferus' leaned in mockingly towards Amo, whispering behind a fit of giggles, " And what are you going to do if I don't Patronus?" Her stormy eyes full of deception and evil, a long snake tongue slipped between her curled lips. Stiffling a gasp and shrinking back against the sinks cubard in vain, Ferus pulled me closer to her as the long red tongue trailed down my arched neck. It was hot and I could feel the saliva dripping from it as slivered across my jaw and towards my closed mouth. My mind felt fuzzy, I could feel Ferus shifting her naked body onto mine before she whispered, " Relish in your temptations..." It felt like I was walking on clouds as her tongue whipped around inside my mouth. Ferus' snake- like tongue was hot against my own as we shifted our weights against each others, her claws dipped into my shoulders, causing me to stifle a covered scream.

Before I could detach myself from the girl, she was somehow lifted off of me. As her long tongue slipped from my mouth and her claws retracted, I felt like I was finally able to breath, my muscles felt sore and my throat burned. It burned intensely as loud clattering echoed threw my ears. My eyes flew open, time seemed to catch up.

Amo was standing in front of me silver and gold blocking me from looking at her. Ferus was crouching a couple feet away from her, near the hallway, teeth barred and hisses escaping from her throat, " Did I not tell you, Nocturna Suppressio, to release? As a protector I have a right, I have a right to defend the host. And defend I shall. No matter If I have to protect her from her less appealing protector." Amo looked down gravely at the snarling figure, eyes twinkling with defiance and satisfaction.

Ferus' stormy eyes widened with innocence, her head tilting to the side, " Amo, would you really hurt me? You know I can't control what I am... Please, I won't hurt her, trust me, " she whispered seductively reaching for her wrist slowly. " Your the only one I desire Amo. I love you." Her seductive voice liquefied throughout the room like an infection, causing my chest to flutter with unease. I could feel my nails dig into my palms, trying to calm myself as my eyes darted to Amo then Ferus. Amo's face softened and her eyes glittered with question, she didn't remove Ferus' light and persistent grip.

" You can't expect me to believe your words my dear Ferus... Don't play me, you are incapable of such feelings. I must protect our host, even if it's from the likes from a beast such as yourself, " Amo stared down at the pale bloody reflection of Rain and herself. Raising her arm swiftly towards Ferus, Amo's tattoos glittered and pulsed with light, almost breathing. Her glowing marks seemed to poor down her cheekbone, dripping down to her arm. It flowed down to her fingertips like water to the shoreline, pulsing it's way down magnificently. Falling from her fingertips like a depressing rain, it solidified with the touch of the kitchen tile. To me, it was a horrifyingly beautiful sight as I held my breath in awe. The silver spread outward from her fingertips as if a striking snake. A horrifyingly beautiful poison it did seem to be as it swirled from Amo's outstretched hand. Like a quickly freezing body the silver stiffened and glowed brightly. Averting my tear-brimmed eyes from the horrible light, my ears were filled with a blood-curdling scream. I covered my ears but, the screams could still be heard through the cracks of my fingers.

Behind my closed eyes, I could sense that the light receded as the painful wails subsided into nothingness. With shaking hands, I peeled my hands away from my pounding ears slowly. I could feel my heart beat rapidly inside my chest as my eyes darted quickly around the scene but, there was nothing to see. Amo was gone and so was Ferus. Nothing from what had just happened remained. Where are they? I could feel my chest rise with anxiety as my spine shivered violently. Was it all in my head? What's happening to me?
