"I was left with my own shadow, laughing." - Zafina Caetit

Zafina's P O V

It was a boring day for my Genie. She took off those doll shoes she made, flew to her room and went back inside her home, weeping and dropping a hundred drops that she'd almost ran out. Lights in her room were shut, her master left her alone like this, especially in the dark. 

She reminded me of someone, someone I usually admired, someone I usually beautify and boast of. She reminded me of her beauty, passion, looks and the confidence---And that's me. Zafina Caetit. SHe cried soft, soft that I might give her my shoulder to cry on, and now I saw the through backround of Violet, her bitterness and blameness for herself. In fact, I actually blamed her master for everything. She was just an innocent person with a sweet heart, and she was just a single Genie who was wanting for someone in Valentine's, just like me with my master. She cried so hard as if it was her last day in here, and I was about to abduct her, but Olivia once told me to relax. It will take almost a year to abduct a Genie, since they were not that easy to be tempted, I was. So the only thing to succeed is to wait, but I was not much of a patient sort. This was the perfect time to tempt Violet, to dress like more of a flirt and flatter around. Those were one of my techniques on Drei. But right now, instead of comforting her and let her release me from the mirror, I think I'd prefer to watch her likes this, seeing my true image on my first day in the afterlife. Now I've realized the reason why Natasha vanished me into and like this, and the first time I believed her reasons that this was "The good thing" for me. I led a sigh and closed my eyes, leading an accident tear-drop from my eye, and for the first time it wasn't a blood.

But this sympathy isn't working out. How am I supposed to succeed in this mission if I don't cooperate and spend my entire night watching an angel to cry? And first of all, she was my enemy. And always will. was supposed to be the one being pathetic at myself, since I was tempted by a stupid Genie, not knowing she was pushing me to die, and away from this place, and now here  I am. Back in the place where I musn't be, stucked inside the mirror and waiting for my Genie to release me.

At first, I decided to wait for her dry those tears. But it looks like she'll never stop. I knocked from the mirror loudly that she might hear me all the way through the lamp, and then she did. I knocked on twice to speed her up, her tears were still dropping, she went out from the lamp and turned on the light, gasped as she sees me in the mirror, crying as ever be; as if I was looking for help. I thought she was about to vanished and kill me away from this place, because she already knew that I made the black magic. But instead she stared at me.

"Zafina?" She asked.

The teardrop was successful. I used it to sympathize me in Violet's eyes. I led another drop, followed by the another, making a fake race, but the first one was real.

I nodded.

"Wait," She gave me an "I don't get it" look. She took some steps backwards, like the one when she was about to kiss Dylan. I led more drops to prove that I was innocent and so out of the prime suspect with the kiss thingy. Few minutes later she started to dry her tears and got annoyed of this drama scene. That was the time I stopped.

"Don't give me those tears." She ordered.

"But Vi, I---"

"What are you doing here?" She asked impatiently and my first word.

"I-I wanted to see you."

"Don't tell me you do. Haven't you seen me the night you ordered the black magic for me to kiss Dylan? You almost killed me, Zaf! And now you're here? Get out of here before I smashed this mirror into pieces."
