enter into it.
He remained in silence all the time, his unfriendliness intimidated me.
For a moment I thought he would hurt me.
“ Are you going to stay outside?” he asked, after having crossed the doorstep.
I decided to go ahead, since I had come there. I should take that risk.
I thought of my mother and knew she was protecting me, somehow.
And that feeling encouraged me before I entered the house.
Inside it, there was nothing, just a huge room and a large mirror in the corner of the room; there were also dark curtains on the window.
Eros sat on the floor as if he were meditating, with his back to me. I remained standing and was motionless, just watching him.
“ Did you want to know where I live?” he asked, with a chilling voice. “So, here is my house.”
He remained with his back to me.
All I could do was to remain in silence. All the words fled from my mind. A huge rat ran into the wall and I scream out loud:
“ A rat! I want to walk away!”
My hands started to shake.
“Not before you see something!”
He said that and stood up quickly.
I didn ’t have time to get out of that house; he was quicker than I’d imagined, and my arms were stuck in his cold hands.
He glared at me , with a supernatural look in his face.
I had never seen somebody with such features.
His face was pale, with a strange look on it. He suddenly changed his expression.
His eyes were gray, around them there were rings. His lips were red and between them there was big and sharp teeth.
I was desperate and didn’t have energy to try to escape from his claws.
I closed my eyes , blocking my tears.
“Now you know what I am really.” He said and let my arms free. He flinched back.
I needed so much to open my eyes at that moment to stare at him.
His attitude made me understand what had just happened. He didn’t intend to hurt me. He just wanted to reveal what he was, as well as what I was about to be.
He approached the mirror.
“ Look at this mirror!” His voice sounded very confident.
I looked at the mirror and didn’t see his reflection; I had seen only the opposite wall.
He slightly touched his hand on the mirror's wooden frame and images were reflected through it.
That was an exhibition of my entire life. My mother appeared on those images, almost twenty years ago, in a nightclub that had been the night she’d met my father and generated me.
My birth …
Then the images showed me when I was seven, when I started dreaming of that strange man.
My adolescence…
The first day I met Eros in the classroom.
The mirror showed me how my brooch vanished from my purse.
Eros had planned everything. He had used his vampire powers to remove it out of my purse, only with the power of his mind.
When he lost his school ID inside the school library, this was done on purpose. That’s why I found it.
He did everything because there was a purpose behind his reaction. He wanted to be with me almost all the time.
Mirta ’s nose bled and Eros left the classroom because he couldn’t handle that smell of blood.
The last image shown in the mirror was the symbol of Neptune on the amulet and on Eros’ arm.
T hen, the mirror came back to normal.
“ All your life is resumed in this mirror”, he said and his voice suddenly became serious.
I was confused after having seen those images in the mirror.
They seemed so real… My life in a mirror… It all seemed to be like a dream, or, instead, a nightmare from which I wished to wake up.
“ I’m not here by accident.” he confessed while he approached me. His supernatural face didn’t scare me anymore.
Even though, I was attracted to him. That was so strange for me. I had desired a monster.
“ I came to get you and take you to your father.” he claimed, his voice was quiet.
I shivered , perplexed. I was speechless.
I should have asked him several things. Though, nothing came into my mind, just a grief after knowing the truth about my father and me.
