I don't know how long I sat there. I think I fell asleep crying. I heard someone clear their throat and I looked up. Jin was standing in the doorway. I tried to get up but he bade me to sit back down. I wanted to embrace him, tell him what they told me. I wanted to tell him everything. Jin sat down next to me and held me to him. He spoke to me softly asking me what happened. After I told him, he just looked at me and started to get up. My cheeks felt stiff from the tears that stained them. He pulled me to my feet.
"Come on, it's time for bed." He let go of me and walked out of the room. Just as he did, he turned back and looked at me, I stood at the mirror. "Coming, Mother?"
"Yeah, give me a minute." Jin walked out and didn't look back. Darkness enveloped me once again.
I watched as the eyes of my reflection changed from green to gold. The wolf appeared behind her. I was afraid to look back, afraid It wouldn't be there or I wouldn't see It. I kept staring at my reflection in the mirror. Suddenly I flew backward and against the wall. I sat there gathering my strength but I couldn't find any. It laughed at me. I knew that It was controlling me. My head hit the other wall. I was in the corner, the opposite one I was at before.
Jin ran into the room and over to me. I was weak. "Jin," I whispered. "Help me." He reached out his hand and I moved my arm to grab it but my hand flew up and slapped the side of his face. "It wasn't me."
"I know." Jin picked me up and carried me out of the room. He held my hand and laid me in bed next to him. I guess he thought it was really bad.
"Jin? You love me don't you?" I asked trying to reassure myself.
"Yes and I will never leave you, doushitemo." He kissed my cheek.
No matter what…..
