BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-
"UGH SHUT UP!" Cece groaned, slamming her alarm clock on the fuzzy pink floor, making it break into pieces. "Damn, not again..."
She collapsed onto the ground making her red hair sprawl out on the floor. She turned her head to the side, seeing a recent picture of her and Rocky. "That's weird...I never leave pictures of Rocky under my bed..." she picked up the torn picture. Her eyes widened. "Since when are Rocky's eyes are black?" She was right; Rocky's eyes were normally a happy brown, not a scary black. The picture Rocky's eyes turned a full demon-eye black, and it seemed like the picture was coming back to life. It snarled, and hissed, and reached out and jumped at Cece, making her scream and throw the picture at the ground.
Darkness covered the photo, eating the photo Cece and Rocky alive, then the paper disappeared in thick black smoke, leaving a pile of ash on the floor.
Silence was only heard, not even the small panting of the flustered pixie. "What...the hell was that?!" she said airily, a drop of sweat rolling down her face.
Flynn bursted into the room with a baseball bat. "What was the screaming about this time? Did you see another spider in your bed?"
Cece was still panting softly. "Sure..."
Flynn rolled his eyes and left the room, Cece quickly following.
"Rocky! You will NOT believe what I just saw this morning!"
"A spider in your bed again? Look Cece, maybe if you keep having food in your room you wouldn't have bugs in your-"
"No, Rocky, it's not Spiders. It's much scarier."
Rocky rolled her eyes, obviously not interested. "Whatever, Cece. Anyways, Ty said he saw this Ghost Tower across the city, and he said we should come." she said, grinning. The redhead squinted. "Ghost Tower? Why would you wanna go there? You hate ghosts." Again with the eye-rolling. "No, you're afraid of ghosts, you blame them for anything. Oh, let me guess? You saw a ghost in your room? Well, how about this. Get real, Cece. There's no such thing." Rocky said, walking away.
'No such thing? She doesn't even believe in sprites like me? She's right, it's kind of silly...especially if I was gonna tell her about what I just saw, but something is wrong with her. She isn't as innocent as before...' Cece thought, following Rocky to the washroom.
Rocky was washing her face in the tab, looking at herself in the mirror, applying her make-up.
Cece peeked her head through the door, making sure Rocky doesn't see her. She examined Rocky, she knew something was up and was willing to figure it out. Her eyes widened as she examined Rocky's heart. There was something surrounding it. Kind of like smoke. Her heart on fire? No, that could've not been it. It was black smoke...
'Just like the picture...' Cece thought. Something in her mind told her to get out of the washroom as fast as possible, but another part told her to stay and see what will happen...but maybe the smoke can spread. Think Logic. Smoke can spread in fire, so can this.
The pixie looked at the mirror, and so did Rocky with the same expression. Rocky touched the mirror, and darkness went over it, just like the photo.
Cece's sprite went on. Her eyes glew the magical sunset colours, and her eyelashes extended and curled. Flower designs went from her left eye to her left ear, and the ears went slightly pointy at the end. Cece's skin went slightly pale, as vines and roses went around her arms and legs. Her clothes faded away, and the vines went thicker, covering Cece's body up just enough. Wings sprouted from Cece's back, and she glided towards Rocky as the darkness spreaded through her fingertips.
Cece grabbed Rocky and threw her out of the washroom, Rocky's eyes widening at what she saw and screamed, running down the hallway. Cece sighed, floating back down on the ground, transforming into human when no one was looking.
She walked down the hallway, taking another peek. Everything was normal. 'What's in that heart of hers...?'
