Mirror Mirror
Player: Liath BDH
Character: McRieve Rosetta
Prompt: Mirror Mirror...
Prompt Response:
5 more minutes..just need 5 more minutes. Rosetta mumbled to herself still half asleep. Her muscles hurt and her head throbbed. Just what the hell did she do last night? The girl sat up on her bed and frowned as she tried to remember her last night...but nothing came. She remembered getting up and leaving for work, she remembered running around the bakery finishing this order or that one, and then...nothing. She couldn't remember a single thing. Slightly confused and with a great deal of effort she managed to get up the bed and decided to go for a cup of coffee. Yea, that was all she needed. Still half asleep she walked trough her open door and down the stairs. It felt like each step took a great deal of effort from her...perhaps she was going down with a cold? rose made a mental note of making an appointment with a healer.
With her eyelids still closed she walked all the way from the stairs to the kitchen, she could move around her own house blindfolded. The house was quite so that must meant Mikaila had already gone to work....how long has she slept over? with a yawn she reached to the cupboard doors and...nothing. It took her a few second to realize what was going on, but once she did she got wide awake. She tried opening the door for a second time,, then a third, forth and fifth but all ended the same: she couldn't open the doors, she could grasp the handle but it was as if they were locked, she couldn't move then one inch. The girl cocked an eyebrow and instead moved towards the fridge, perhaps the cupboard doors had stuck? Still confused Rosetta tried to open the fridge....and couldn't. "Now this is weird..." she muttered for herself as she went all over the house trying to open windows and doors, all with the same end: she couldnt move them an inch.
Finally she sat on the couch by the fireplace and tried to think, after a while she just snickered under her breath. Mikaila had surely decided to play a prank for sleeping over, with a sigh of relief she stood up and walked towards the front door ,surely an unlocking spell woudl be more than enough to open it. Rosetta stood in front of the door holding the knob for a few seconds, tried to focus her Reiki in her hands....and realized that nothing was happening. Now THIS was something she had to worry about..what the hell was happening to her Reiki? Why couldn't she build it up? She started to pace nervously around the sitting room until she caught something moving out of the corner of her eye, she quickly turned around just to find herself staring at... a mirror? she shook her head and took a step back, no...there wasnt any mirrors in this part of the house, but the that meant somebody identical to her was standing just right there, no more than a few steps away. But that just couldn't be...could it?
The rest of the day passed away before she could even notice and she was still where she begun, with out a single idea of what was going on or what to do about it. Rosetta has spent the whole day following her clone like a shadow, the other one had spent the whole day at home lurking around the house with a huge grin of satisfaction that ticked off Rosetta for some reason. Two more days passed by and Rosetta found herself growing more tired as the hours passed and she wasn't the only one; she noticed that her clonedidnt look so good either, there were dark circle under its eyes looked and it looked almost as tired as Rosetta herself felt. As the days passed Rosetta started to feel something...weird, she felt like she should just give up and lay down to rest, she felt so tired and everythign hurt...but deep inside there was somethign that kept her going, just what that was didn't strike in until the night of the 4th day.
it was close to midnight when the front door opened with a loud bang. A freckled girl with bright pink hair and eyes strode in with a huge grin in her lips. Mikaila, her sister, has just arrived home from her training camp. It was as if a jolt of lighting just hit her: she couldn't let that thing to get near to her sister..she couldn't let it do the same to Lala.
She looked in terror as the other Rosetta approached her sister, she saw her clone smile a she herself often did to Lala, but that smile seemed wrong, like it didn't belong there. Rosetta started to walk around her younger sister, calling for her, screaming to her to get away from the other one, but apparently she couldn't hear her. She was only a shadow and there was nothing she could do. But then, it was as if somethign lit up inside of her: she HAD to do something..she couldn't leave her sister alone, Mikaila needed her and she was not going to let anyone take her sister away from her, not even this clone of her. She had promised never to leave her sister alone and that was a promise she was going to keep. With all the strength she had left Rosetta tried to build up her Reiki once more, something she hadn't tried since the first day, and directed it to her clone.
When remembering what happened that night Rose always found herself having trouble to explain what happened next. it was as if something broke, like a glass shattering to pieces. Suddenly she felt heavier and more...corporeal. When she opened her eyes she found herself laying on the floor with a killer migraine, nausea and her muscles felt like they were burning and if that wasn't enough her little sister was kneeling over her, pale and scared. Yea...some frigging 'cold" this was.
