After school, Mirage rushes home and slams the door shut. Maybe that was a daydream? Well, she was glad there was a substitute for the nurse that day. Made it easy to fake sick. She rushes upstairs and flops onto her bed. “Mroww?” Her cat, Hope, jumps onto Mirage’s belly. Mirage absentmindedly scratches her ears. Suddenly, the cat starts hovering. Mirage takes a deep breath. Okay.... not a dream. Mirage gently grabs the cat and holds Hope close. How will she defeat the so said ‘darkness’? Mirage wrenches out of bed. Her heart was beating quickly. Looking around her room, she could tell by the light that it was most likely the crack of dawn. Fourteen times...... fourteen times she has had that nightmare... Mirage rolls out of bed. She needed to know what it meant! Was it just a nightmare, or was it telling her something? Something like... the future? She shudders at the thought. That would be one bleak, terrible future. Mirage shuts her eyes. Maybe the voice would come back? She had a few questions... *Hello, child* Mirage picks up her head from over her work. It a few hours later at school. Nothing strange had happened, until now. "Seriously?! It's been five freaking hours!." Kids around Mirage give her weird looks. Mirage bites her lip, realizing she had spoken out loud. She grabs a pass to the bathroom, to the one that was NOT damaged. "Okay...... now we can talk..... what exactly is the prophecy?" *....... I can't tell you* Mirage snorts. "So you can't tell me who you are, or the exact words of the prophecy? Need I remind you that you are in my head? I bet I could snuff you out." *You couldn't, my entire physical form is not inside of you. This is just a tiny fraction of my true form* “OH OHMIGOD I DEMAND ANSWERS!!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! NOW!!” Mirage screeches, losing it. She trembles violently, her hair floating, her eyes glowing white. *I can’t give you what you think you seek, but I will give you guidence to what your heart seeks* “Cheesey much?” Mirage mutters, calming down. “Fine, give me this “guidence”.” *Listen closely.....* Mirage stares at the only home she had ever known with sadness. It was time to leave. Shouldering her satchel, she turns, starting on the road. Starting on her path, her journey, her quest.
