He looked up at Lilac expectantly until she laid down in bed. He curled up next to her with a little huff. She covered both of them with a blanket and pet his little f...

I looked into the big mirror on my stark white wall. My room was like a cubicle cell, like a prison. Completely clean, no imperfections. It was suffocating.

The mirror that took up half the wall made it seem a little bigger than it was, but I hated it. Because I knew what it was really there for.

“I know you’re watching me.” The girl on the other side with two brown braids steps back. Funny, she didn’t expect me to see her, did she? “I know you’ve been following me, but here’s the thing, whenever you try to chase me, I just get further and further away, so why don’t you just give up?”

She doesn’t struggle against the binds. Instead, her body is loose and relaxed. Like this was a normal Tuesday for her. That only serves to boil Pippa’s blood even more.

“I know you’re watching me, Beacon,” Ink Spill states, looking in Pippa’s direction. Even though, she k...

“I know you're watching me.”

I tell the mirror.

No response.

“I know who you are!”
