I walked into the next room, already dreading to think what I’d find. Since leaving the corridor, my emotions had definitely evened out, which was a good sign. Or a not so good one, if I thought about how much I’d let Hell actually affect me. I’d have said I was a strong person up until now. But after the events of the day, well, safe to say, I wasn’t quite so sure anymore.

To my surprise the room was empty, yet that didn’t stop me stubbing my toes on the door frame on my way in. Stupid thing. Who had door frames in Hell? What happened to open plan living and why hadn’t they heard of it? That would make my life so much less accident prone. Not to mention easier. Then I could just see where Chesca was and make my way to her. No winding through weird labyrinths of horrors, and certainly no fighting fucking snakes. I shivered. Eurgh, snakes.

Cursing to myself, I hobbled into the room, looking around it as I did. Well, this was...different. The glass were shiny, almost like a mirror, save for the fact I couldn’t see my reflection. Unless I’d turned into the wrong kind of vampire in the past thirty seconds, that seemed far from likely. Especially considering vampirism didn’t actually work like that from what I’d seen. It was hard to know for sure without interrogating one though, and I wasn’t about to jump up and down to volunteer myself. And not just because I couldn’t interact with vampires either. They, like all the other paranormal beings, weren’t able to see and interact with Reapers. It was a weird quirk in our magic they just didn’t seem to have. Or at least, I guessed it was. Vampires, and other paranormals, couldn’t see us at all. In fact, I could jump up and down in one of their faces, dancing and singing the anthem of a rival coven, tribe or pack, and they wouldn’t even notice. Not that I was inclined to ever do that. Nor was I planning to. Knowing my luck, I’d end up with the one paranormal that could sense us, and then I was well and truly screwed. And not in the good fun way I could get from Than.

Pushing my thoughts aside, I studied the room again. It wasn’t quite circular, which only added to the weirdness that was the mirror walls. But then, what was new there. In all likelihood, I was about to be faced with a hoard of angry spiders or something. The flesh-eating kind that only really existed in horror movies and Hell.

Yes. That would just about round out my day nicely.

A cracking sound from my left made me jump, and I spun around the face the direction it’d come from. There, in what appeared to be the centre of the room, was a tall stone basin. Huh, that hadn’t been there before. I took a step closer, intent on studying it and hoping that it would yield some kind of answers.
