[ WP ] You are a reverse vampire . You can only be seen in mirrors .

The smell hit my nose. Blood. I looked up and saw her swollen, gummy grin before anything else. I set my book down on my lap. `` Looks like someone had a nice meal.'' 
 
 She nodded her head slowly, red dripping down her chin and onto her white blouse. What a waste. Her arm arched back and she soon found her fingers tousling my hair. This is the way it had to be. She sat behind me, looking into the mirrored wall. If we were to turn around, we'd only see the reflection of our backs. We lived in a deranged funhouse. 
 
 Sometimes, we brought dinner home, only to watch them run in circles and squirm, unsure of where we really were as we hunted and taunted them. It was a silly game and I am no longer a child. In fact, sometimes I longed for the company of a human, if only to give me something to look at other than the poorly reduced reflections of my fellow nestmates. 
 
 Every single wall, ceiling, and floor was mirrored. It was the only way to see where and who anyone was. Every new vampire had to go through an adjustment period of finding all the different reflective surfaces in order to be able to go out and navigate the world. Some took to the invisibility with ease, and others... not so much. It was sort of like being a ghost and still being alive at the same time. 
 
 After our enlightening adjustment periods, most of us took to finding a mirrored nest to live in. It was much easier to live with your own kind than it was to live as a shadow among the living. 
 
 In the past few years, however, I found the lifestyle quite tiresome. It was no longer thrilling being on the other edge of the mirror. Some days I dreamt I was Alice in Through the Looking Glass. Some days I did n't dream at all. 
 
 She could be seen still staring at me through the mirror. I stood up, book collapsing onto the floor. I shook my head at her and walked out the door, never to return. I was tired of her never-ending gaze. I was tired of living in this twisted mirror maze.
