Reflections Of Angels

Dark Reflection

She was in the Caves of Reflections, but like she'd never seen it before; a version created from dark shapes and shadows, a dark reflection of itself. Where the crystalline walls usually emitted a soft silvery glow, angry red veins pulsed within the stones. Something had seeped into the very rocks here, spreading like venom through the blood.

The air was filled with whispers- strange voices she couldn't still couldn't make out that compelled her to stay and watch and listen.

Before her lay the wall of clay, painted with symbols and scenes in earthy reddish paint. It seemed even more jarring and unnatural in its existence now; the rough man-made structure contrasting with the natural formed elegance around it. In the base of the wall, she could see a crack; a broad segment of wall that had come away, presumably in the cave-ins that had trapped them all in. A strange, ghostly light poured out through the gap, bright in the darkness of the cavern.

Padding softly forwards on bare feet, she approached the wall and crouched down to peer in through the crack.

Something was looking back. A pair of red eyes stared at her from the other side.

"I see you, Little One."

The voice grated inside her head, sending electric chills down her spine. Fearful, she jolted back, scurrying away in a panic, desperate to escape.

With a loud sound of splintering stone, the crack in the wall began to spread; running diagonally up the wall, the clay beginning to split apart; a little at first, then more and faster, as something threatened to emerge from the other side.
Unearthly lights danced through the cracks, like a storm contained in a box- and then lightening cracked and the clay went clear as glass; and behind it, enshrouded in fog, a great silhouette pushed against it-

In Nyx's bedroom in Rachel's house, Alysha awoke with a bloodcurdling scream.

Twist ending, huh? Let me know what you think in the comments! XD Also, I feel like this song has a very 'dreamlike' quality to it, and may be including it quite a bit more
