Narcissa lay panting in her bed. Her sheets had kicked off down by her feet, half draped down the side of the bed and onto the floor. In one hand her phone, glowing brightly in the darkness of the bedroom. In the other was her favorite glass dildo, the one with the smaller nubs that felt so incredible when she was thrusting away inside her cunt. It was slick with cum now, slowly drying in the humid air, its work done for now.
She sighed and pressed the button on the side of the phone and the porn she had been streaming, some self-suck compilation or other, blinked out of existence. It took her eyes a few moments to adjust, but the with moon so bright outside her window she didn't have to wait long to see the room in shadowy relief. The soft silvery light streamed in through the window beside her bed, casting deep shadows where there wasn't a reflective surface to be met.
With a small grunt of effort, Narcissa sat up in bed, swinging her feet off the side. She needed to piss terribly, and the dildo could use a good scrub. So off she went to the hall, passing the full mirror that stood beside her door, and further beyond to the bathroom. She squinted in the bright light when she flicked the power switch, swearing under her breath. Turning the water on
hot
she rinsed off the glass dildo and gave it a good spraying down with her sex toy cleaner. Leaving it on the bathroom sink to dry she next sat on the toilet and was in the middle of relieving herself when she heard a dull thump come from the direction of her bedroom.
Alone in her apartment, as far as she knew, a lump of fear jumped into her throat and she cut off midstream, ignoring the insistent pressure from her bladder to finish. She picked up a bottle of spray cleaner from beside the toilet, intent on at least blinding whatever it was that made the noise in her hallway. As quietly as she could, she stood and crept to the bathroom door, trying her best to peek out without being seen by any prying eyes.
When she was sure the coast was clear she shut off the bathroom light and waited a few moments until her eyes had adjusted to the dark of the nighttime apartment again and she carefully stepped into the hallway, only to be met with the groan of the floorboard under her foot. She did her best not to yelp and pressed close to the wall, waiting, willing whoever was there to show themselves. But no one came. When her heart calmed down, she took a more careful step, then another, and another, until she was back at her bedroom where it had sounded like the noise had come from.
Narcissa steeled herself and spun quickly into the doorway of her bedroom, spray bottle raised at eye level, ready to do its job. But there was nothing out of the ordinary, no shadow figures waiting to pounce, no vampires perched on windowsills, nothing. Well, almost nothing. On the floor, atop the pile of her sheets, was her phone. It seemed to have fallen off the edge of the bed, another victim of gravity.
"About gave me a damn heart attack," Narcissa said, admonishing the phone. She picked it up and it blinked to life, temporarily blinding her. That's when another thump came, this time behind her.
"Shit!" she swore, spinning on her heel. Her heart felt like it was going to explode as she saw a dark figure staring back at her, hand raised to attack. It wasn't until her vision cleared that she realized she was looking in her mirror, phone glowing in the one hand, spray bottle raised in the other.
"I'm jumpy tonight," she mumbled to herself. She turned her flashlight on and scanned the floor for what could have fallen. The light played across the floor, but nothing seemed amiss. It wasn't until it moved over the mirror that she noticed something was off about the glass.
She couldn't quite place what it was, the strange sensation it gave her to look on the mirror. The way the light moved seemed wrong, like it was on a delay, and it wasn't casting a reflection back toward her like it should. It seemed for anything to be lighting the room on the other side of the mirror. Frowning, Narcissa stepped forward, hand out, and traced a finger down the mirrorglass. A ripple formed where she touched it, spreading from the point of impact, shimmering across the face of the mirror more like water than anything solid. Astonished, she pushed her finger in further, then her hand, her wrist, her arm, and then she fell forward and through the mirror and tumbled to the floor of her room, but backwards.
She landed with a thump that seemed to echo oddly in the room, not at all muffled by the rug that she fell upon. She sat up and looked around, finding it hard to focus on any one part of the room. There was her bed, on the wrong wall. There was her dresser, her flashlight still glowing on the back of her phone, but now spreading rainbow light, like a prism, across the ceiling and walls.
