The Dark Psychic

The front of the building held a posted guide map to the featured businesses within the building, but this location Audrey and James was given wasn’t marked. They searched room after room on every floor, not finding the entrance they were searching for as they were invited to the local psychic. They ascended to the top floor, while marching down the hallway Audrey could smell something burning on the other end.

Traveling along down the long straight corridor, a dim light was radiating from the last doorway on the left. The light seemed it was fading in and out slightly, but never quite fully fading out. James sighed and rolled his eyes, just finally relieved to find someone within the building to talk with as he wasn’t even quite sure how to return to the entrance to get them out of this creepy place.

As they neared the doorway that incapsulated the glowing light, the couple noticed the doorway was covered in vines of plants. Specifically Audrey noticed there was a chain of pearls hoisted by a basket from the ceiling. Its stems and leaves draped over the side of the basket nestled in the top left of the doorway, across the top and down the right side.

There was a small amount of smoke that rushed out from the doorway near the floor, and before walking in Audrey followed the chain of smoke to see the source. As she did this, the full room they were about to walk into finally came into view. She saw a table paced directly in the center of the room, and a lit incense stick was standing in the center of the table. Audrey watched as the smoke billowed straight up to the ceiling from the burning part of the stick, and it seemed to dissipate into the atmosphere of the room. Although it seemed like many sticks had been burned, as the whole room’s floor was clouded with too much smoke for one incense.

The couple agreed in entering the room, and they heard a flicker from a lighter from across the room as James stepped inside. In the gloomy dark corner, the spark of the lighter would illuminate a figure leaning against the wall. A woman emerged from the darkness with a freshly lit joint, blowing the smoke directly into the couples’ faces. As this mysterious woman did this, all of the smoke finally made sense to Audrey as she felt like there had to have been another source for all of the smoke.

As the woman emerged, James focused on the attractive features. She was wearing a black laced dress, compared to a wedding dress and mage robe combined. He watched as the woman moved around and the fabric hugged her body in different places, and while the woman slowly circled them all James could think about was getting to know the woman more. James was instanced, and Audrey broke free after noticing something off about the woman.

Audrey also noticed the dress, but enjoyed the fact the wrist was attached to the excess fabric of the lower part of the dress making a webbed looking pattern. Focusing on this dress Audrey noticed something off about the dress, it seemed to be radiating heat or her vision was just super blurry. The woman signaled for the couple to sit across her as she sat at the centered table, her hand gesturing the chairs across while the other rests inside of a bag on her lap.

After they sit, the woman pulled out a basket and tossed tiny trinkets into the basket and studies them intensely afterwards. James attempted to interrupt and ask what she was doing or even what was going on, but the woman had hushed him by the wave of her hand. He looked at Audrey and opened his mouth, but nothing came out. James could barley have make any noise by attempting to gasp, and this is when Audrey snapped out and felt like it was time to leave.

She looked to the left of the table where a mirror was displayed on the wall. In the mirror she could see the front door perfectly, but the woman had noticed Audrey’s wandering gaze before she could determine if the door was locked or not. The dark mystical woman slammed her fists onto the table, yelling at the couple for “wasting her time with games”, then standing to dissipate back into the dark corner of the room.
