Chapter 9 - The mirror

'Activate spirit vision' I mumbled with Anya in mind. I felt like my consciousness was being sucked into a whirlpool and when my visions cleared up, I saw Anya in a what seemed to be a bar. Sitting in front of the counter, and taking a sip from the beer can she held in her left hand.

She then stood up and walked out of the bar, walking towards an alleyway across the street. She headed into the alleyway and suddenly stopped, turning around slowly to face the two men that had been tailing her since she left bar. Their eyes were filled with lust and desire.

She walked up to them with a cute puppy eye while biting down at her lower lips seductively, and when the men saw this, they all froze on the spot and fell on their knees. She then pulled out a dagger from behind her waist, and started to carve something on one of the men's forehead.

*Crack*

I heard the sound of shattering glass which was followed by the feeling of being sucked into a whirlpool. And when my vision cleared up, I was sprawled on the floor.

I didn't bother standing up or moving, I just laid there as the scary scene kept on replaying in my head.

'Was that the same spell she tried on me? If it wasn't for my level being higher than her's, what would she have done with me?'. Remembering the last scene, i felt a chill run down my spine.

*Sobs*

Suddenly, I began to hear sobs of what sounded like a little girl coming from a direction. I sat up vigilantly while squinting eyes in the direction of the sound.

I pulled out the revolver from my pants side pocket while slowly getting to my feet, I was about to go check if it was really a little girl when suddenly, I felt like time had been set to ×2.

I saw myself trace the sound to a large mirror which was floating amid air reflecting a faceless boy who had white trimmed hair... My faceless reflection...

*Crack*

I was still standing where I was, about trace the sound.

"Nope..." I muttered, and ran in the opposite direction of the sound, with a speed that would've shocked 'Barry Allen'. Whoever was behind that mirror... Was definitely a player.

Seems like I'm the only player with trashy skills.

I didn't know for how long I've been running for, but I could see the sun rising already. I was panting wildly with my hands on my thighs supporting my upper body, and my clothes hugging me tightly due to sweat.

'Thats enough experience for the night' I muttered to myself. I was both physically and mentally exhausted, I needed a safe place to rest, like a motel, but I had no cash on me. At the thought of cash I remembered I had two leather pouch, which I got from the lanky man and the bulky man.

I quickly fished them out and emptied their contents to the floor. Their were six index fingers on floor which came from the pouch I got from the lanky man and seven black coins with four white ones which came from came from the pouch I took from the bulky guy.

I stared at the index fingers for a while before picking up the coins and walking away. 'He really was a serial killer... With souvenirs from his previous victims.'

Maybe due to my enhanced luck, I found a motel in no time. I walked into it and dragged myself to the counter. The receptionist who was a young girl beamed a pretty smile at me with a raised brow, indicating me to place my order.

"How much is for a night?" I asked with a nonchalant smile, making the girl's smile to freeze on her face.

"I'm sorry sir, we don't offer such services here" she said with a stiff smile with the look of disgust in her eyes.

'Maybe because I was too dirty and sweaty' I thought

"Seriously!?... So why does the sign outside reads 'motel', when you guys don't offer rooms here" I asked in surprise.

"Huh?... Were you asking for a room?" She asked in surprise too. "Of course!!... What else would I be asking for!!?" I exclaimed in confusion.

I was too tired to understand what was going on.

The girl who now had a naughty smile with an awkward expression on her face said "one bells sir". I pulled out a black and a white coin, for her to point out the one that was a 'bells', and she confusingly pointed at the black one.

Probably wondering why I didn't know the simple currency.

I dropped the black coin on the counter and she gave a key with a tag '7' on it. I made my way up the stairs in search of the room with the tag '7' on it, and quickly making my way in, I laid on the bed and dozed off.
