(A/N) Here is the prompt: After failing in her school life, she (Reina) discovers a legendary key that unlocks doors that open into a dark universe. This supernatural universe is a bad reflection of their real universe. The god of this dark universe is Gluttony, who tries to take over the real universe.

-------------------------------------------------

Reina was a bright girl with great potential, if only she put the effort in. She was lazy and never really cared for her grades so when she stopped passing she decided it was best to drop out. 

Last night Reina had some friends over for her 18th birthday, it was a night full of drinks, fun and laughter. This morning Reina was washing the dishes when something gold and sparkly caught her eye.

-------------------------------------------------

Reinas POV

My hands were red and itchy from scrubbing the pan so hard, stupid roast! I quickly dried the pan before shoving it in one of the messy kitchen cupboards. As I went to drain the sink I was blinded by something shiny, I took a step back and the shine disappeared.

Something was catching the light.

I walked over to the rusty sink and pulled the plug. As the soapy water drained an object was revealed, it was a sparkly gold key with a diamond shape at the end. 

What is this for?

I picked up the key and examined it. There was something engraved on the side but I couldn't read it due to bad kitchen lighting. I rushed towards my backdoor and slid it open before walking over to the grass in my backyard.

The engraving was easier to see now but I couldn't read it. It was in another language or something.

"In tenebris non reflectunt." I sounded out. "In tenebris non reflectunt." I said again.

Something flew into my eye causing it to water. 

"Stupid ass bugs!" I spat before letting out a huff and storming back inside. 

I still had the sparkly key in my hand as I walked over to the bathroom to look at my eye. I stared in the mirror my baby blue eyes were now red and puffy from the bug, well the left one anyway. My purple hair was all messy from last night and I had dark bags under my eyes due to lack of sleep.

I figured it was time for a nap but as I stared in the mirror I felt the urge to sound out the engraving again. 

"In tenebris non reflectunt." I chanted while looking in the mirror. All of a sudden I was falling and drowning in darkness. A rotten stench filled my nostrils and I swear the darkness was talking to me.

I heard soft mutters as I was falling, still falling. 

"The truth will be revealed!" 

"Don't lose your grip on reality!"

"There's nothing more natural than the supernatural!" 

The voices got louder and louder until all of a sudden it was silent.

-----------------------------------------

There was a blinding bright flash. When Reina could see again she realised she was still in her bathroom. Only this time everything seemed darker, her bathroom window revealed a dark grey sky and everything seemed colourless. 

Everything was cracking, mould filled the room and the mirror was rusted. The rotten smell was bothering her so she opened the drawer under her basin and pulled out her perfume. She sprayed it but instead of the normal fruity smell, the whole room started to smell ten times worse.
