Mirror of Sin:

The sun was long since set and you, my love, were already in your bedroom. You gazed at your beautiful self in the large looking-glass in your room. Silver snakes adorned the long, shimmering glass. You admired yourself in the mirror, your favorite one the one you came to every night.

Your obsession.

Your love.

Don't you see? I ignored it best I could. But I gave in to the consuming anger eventually. Of course you ignored me, precious. It was to be expected. And I wanted to make myself known to you.

I snuck into your room then. The moonlight showing me my path and the cold metal in my hand reminding me of my task. You didn't even notice when I walked up to you, directly behind you, you were so captivated by your reflection. Did you see what I saw?

I raised my arm, letting the blade sparkle ominously in the pale light. You just kept staring ahead, like you were looking into another world. You didn't even look at me until the dagger was well embedded into your back. I turned it once, twice and without a single word you fell forward, into the ever consuming mirror. Your soul was lying on the floor now, in sharp pieces, drowning in a pool of blood.

I laughed at my success and sat next to your dying body. I took you in my arms and tore my dagger from your heart. You were still barely breathing, slow and raspy, dying. I slipped a larger bit of the shattered mirror into my hand and put it against your pretty neck, applying just enough pressure to make you bleed, but not kill you, not yet.

"Good night, my beautiful Narcissus." I whispered and slid your obsession over your throat, humming. Your pretty blood was pouring out then, fast at first and then slow. Red was your color then. You were dead, very dead and I smiled to myself, knowing you had finally noticed me.

--Author's Notes--Okay, I know, it was really freaking short. I was surprised. My friend who read it said I should write some more, but I'm not really sure what to do, like where to make it longer...so if anyone could R&R and tell me what I could do to make it better, I would REEEEEAAAALLLY appreciate it. Thanks
