He can feel my distraught.
Smell my fear.
See my anxiety.
Realize how much I yearn for life.
“After all the betrayal, Little Viper, do you dare trust me one last time?”
I can’t fight the hold within me any longer. The power that has thrashed and screamed in captivity, unable to be kept at bay in the presence of an equal.
A counterpart.
“I trust you,” I say what’s in my heart, even as my vision begins to be consumed by darkness.
I smell the scent of blood, feeling the thick liquid begin to replace my tears and run down my cheeks. Prickling frost rushes through my body, which is on fire with sensational energy. I’m but a catalyst, taken over by the hidden secret only this man has managed to claim as his own.
“Then let us dance to this chilling serenade, my Gilded Merger.”
He’s my Shadow.
I’m his Viper.
Together.
We dance to the serenade of death.

ENCHANTED MALEVOLENCE
~OPHELIA~
“Miss Ophelia Minerva Guinevere.”
I knew from the moment my eyes met those dusk-colored voids that I’d despise this man. My gut was screaming that our temperament for one another’s existence wasn’t written in the stars. Not in the slightest.
We were destined to collide.
Only to never mesh and blend.
This man is meant to be nothing but a plague.

I actually have to portray emotion here. Fun.
Stepping forward is all it takes to have the congregation of chosen students’ eyes on me.
I’m completely relaxed, standing at 5’6”, which is considered “short” in these realms of dark magic and all things wizardly. Either way, my head is tilted upward with determination and pride as I stare at the professor, whose scowl should be similar to how I feel about his presence.
My inner magic is seething at the sight of him.
This is usually why so many gifted beings like us fall for their intrusive thoughts. We react before we think, and voilà.
You’re dead in a heartbeat.
A shame that I can’t ignite the same wrath in return.
