Lifeless

Looking Glass

the next morning after I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I was in my room until breakfast, when. Lilith walked in with my breakfast on a tray and something else. Placing my breakfast tray down on my night side table, she then held on this hand mirror to me.

"This is the looking Glass, tell it what you want to see and  it'll show you whatever you want." taking the glass from her hand and placing it next to me, I looked back up at her curiously.

"Is there only one of these glasses here? "

"No, there are three of these, one is in the master's room and the other is in his office" she replied slowly.

This made me go back to yesterday evening, how he said he sees everything. If Lilith knew he had these, he could have been watching whenever he wanted to... So the question is how long has been been watching me?

"You can keep this for a little while but I've got to put this back in its original place by the end of the day" she continued before leaving me alone with the mirror and my thoughts.

Looking down at the mirror, I admired it for a second, it was a hand mirror framed with gold trimming and a gold handle. Mirror was clear and showed my reflection, every single detail even to the point that saw things on my face I've never noticed before.

"Show me... Leonardo"

A windpool of colour swirled over the mirror, clouding the reflection and within seconds I saw Leo pacing in a room I have never seen before, so most likely it was his office. Wearing dark jeans and a black short muscle shirt that outline his chest nicely, and he wore a bluetooth.

I never understood him, he was young (Well he looked young) ... Gorgeous, successful and so modern, but yet I didn't understand why he decided to treat everything in his house so vintage and 19th century. His servants and maids call him master, he's usually in a suit or in silks and he refers to words like chamber and refer to me by my last name.

"Just get the job done Kevin or else I'm coming onto the site, and you wouldn't want me to come on site.... Good, glad you see it my way, good bye" hanging up the call he took off the ear piece and threw it onto the desk before mumbling to himself.

"I'll give her the days, as much time as she needs... But as long as she doesn't respond, she stays with me." he walked over to the full body mirror in his room, looking at it first, looking at himself. "Show me the girl, show me Camille" the same whirlpool began casing his picture to disappear and that's when I realized I needed to act fast, sliding the mirror under my blanket I picked up the book that was on my bed and snatched the glass off my breakfast tray. Hoping he saw me sitting and drinking instead of spying on him. With the blanket half way over the mirror I peaked down to see him staring at the mirror, at me. Through the mirror I saw me, sitting down looking at what seemed to be my book however that wasn't the case.

"She's just... So beautiful, I don't understand why that bastard would do that to her, he left me with no choice but to take her away" touch the screen zooming a bit at my bed, he smiled. "Disappear" dragging his hand across the screen, I disappeared and his reflection was later returned. 

I sat there in shock, what did he mean about Aaron? What was wrong? What did Aaron do in order for me to be taken away?

I was so lost in the dark... Nothing made sense. Hopping up from the bed, I opened my closet and threw on a light blue strapless sun dress and heels, then grabbed the black hooded cape and slipped it on over it. Looking into my mirror, I gently did my makeup with light foundation, red lipstick, my eye brows and eye liner.

Taking up a brush, I stroked my hair before hearing a knock at the door.

"come in"

Lilith then walked in with a piece of paper in her hand. She closed the door behind her before walking over to me.

"Here," placing the page and a key ring down on the table. "Here's the plan, first you pack your bags and i'll go distract him. Temp the master with my blood. Then you take the mirror and your stuff with you, use the mirror to get back to the town. These keys is one to the house and one to one of the cars. Or you could always take a horse from the ranch if you really wanna get away quietly. The mirror will act as your guide, just ask it for a path back.yo the city and it'll take you there."

"Like a GPS?"

"Exactly" from that moment, I braided my hair into one and pulled together a get away bag with a coat, pants, a shirt, sneakers, make up and two books. Lilith helped me around the room, cleaning up everything else. I stopped back at my desk and pulled a piece of paper from the drawer with a pen and wrote a note.

Leo, thank you for letting me be a guest in your home. I do appreciate everything you've done for me and how much you've protected me from things I was unaware of. Anywho I have to leave, to go and reconnect with my family, friends and love. You're a great guy and you're amazing but I've got to go now.
Xoxo Camille

"Alright, get out of here. I'm gonna go distract him."

Grabbing the bag, throwing it over my shoulder and the mirror in my hand, I gave Lilith a long hug.

"Thank you for everything"

"No problem love, anything for you" with that, she left the room and I looked down at the mirror ten minutes later.

"Show me Lilith"

The reflection turned to Lilith in Leo's room with the door closed. Leaving the room, I slid down the rail of the stairs and went through the maid/servants quarters in order to leave through the back of the door to where the ranch was. Looking down at the mirror, I saw something that struck a nerve with me. Lilith was half naked laying across Leo's bed, while Leo stood there leaning against the wall staring over her as if she were a piece of meat. He licked his lips as he moved over to her, hopping onto her and grabbing her arms, pinning them over her head. She bit he bottom lip and turned her head almost blushing and he brought his lips down to her neck.

"Take me Leo, by fangs... Take as much as you want" I raised an eyebrow as I walked over to the ranch and finding a horse to take. Now distracted, I stood by the house and continued to watch.

This didn't look like the self proclaimed sacrifice she tried to make it sound like... But an attempt at seduction, as if she really wanted him and wanted me gone to do her business. I watched as his hands brushed down her body from her wrists to her hips, she moaned and gripped the sheets with a reluctant smile on her face like.... Like she knew I was watching. I stood there in shock, with my eyes widened and my heart slightly feeling ache, I shook the thought from my head and tucked the mirror into my bag before putting reigns onto the house and led it out to the field behind the house. Climbing on, I pulled the mirror out and watched as the foreplay continued. It hurt a bit, I felt jealous, intimidated and uncontrollably pissed. I was unsure why but I felt it and that's something I couldn't live with. Did he even know I was gone? Did he even care? I dragged my hand across the screen

"Show me a path back into the city"

The screen then went black before fading back in showing me a route to get back home from the middle of nowhere.

"he can kiss my ass now" lashing the horse with the reigns, he nayed and ran off in the direction I needed him to go. With one hand holding the reigns and the other holding the mirror it went off. Gone and running into the mid day. Hoping never to return again.
