Chapter 7: Mirror girl
Pov Ebony ( hotel service)
As always in the morning at the hotel I push the cart with the morning breakfast for guests I am about to enter the elevator but I am stopped by the voice of the manager shouting my name.
"Ebony! "
'Did I do something wrong? '
Panicked, I turn to the manager who is holding a plate of still steaming tuna in her hand .
"What's wrong? "
I ask and in response the manager says.
" Ebony is the cart to room three on the second floor?"
At the manager's question I nod in confirmation.
" Then this plate ".
The manager says lifting the lid and putting the plate inside.
" You can go now".
I nod to the manager and push the cart to the elevator. Through the closing door in the elevator I see the manager smiling at me and saying.
" And don't stress you are doing great".
With this praise with a smile I continue my journey towards my room. Along the way I meet my co-workers as they do their morning chores. Stopping at the door I knock twice and say.
" Good morning I brought breakfast".
I hear a light hum in the room followed by a female voice.
" I'm coming".
I smile professionally while waiting with the cart. However, my smile turns into a full blush seeing the occupant of the room. Beautiful white hair, cute black wolf ears and a white tail. However, those eyes of silver in which the bright blue of that wildness that makes them so strange, beautiful and repulsive at the same time.
The white-haired girl herself is barely dressed she is wearing black tight pants, a bandage wrapped around her breasts and a white unbuttoned shirt revealing her pale belly, white skin having a few scars and all this accentuated by her feminine figure gives her the appearance of a beautiful and wild girl.
With my face flushed, I look into the girl's face. A calm smile completely at odds with her eyes from which you can't tell what she is thinking makes it clear that something is wrong with her. The striking scar on her face makes me forget why I came.
" As with breakfast, come in."
Says the white-haired woman slowly buttoning her shirt. Hearing her voice I snap out of my thoughts wanting to leave as soon as possible due to embarrassment, I bring the cart inside . Inside the room there is a faint smell of smoke combined with another strange smell I don't recognize.
' Nothing prohibits smoking in the room so there is nothing I can do .
At the open window in the room sits another beautiful black-haired girl with a bow on her head sitting on the windowsill with a lit cigarette in her mouth reading a book. Her calm face focused on the book gives her the appearance of a quiet and solitary beauty .
"Good morning "
I greet the other resident and, leaving the cart, quickly turn to leave.
" Is it possible to change the bedding while we are away? "
Asks the black-haired woman all the time looking at the pages of her book. Turning around I nod in confirmation and leave the room.

Fastening the last button I hear the sound of the door closing I walk towards the food cart pulling down the lid I hear Blake put down her book and put out her cigarette. I take my meat and sit down on the damp bed.
"What a mess "
Sighs Blake sitting down on the ground.
" It's not so bad "
I reply inhaling the air and touching the wet bed . Blake looks at me before she starts her breakfast.
" You were the one who wanted to move from the " uncomfortable tub " to the " comfortable bed ""
I say simply not wanting to be blamed for something I did at her own instruction .
Blake sighs finishing her meal and gets up from the floor.
"Lappy I'll take two cigarettes ".
Blake says walking towards the dresser on which lies an open pack of my cigarettes.
" You said smoking is not healthy and yet you have already smoked one ".
I say this to tease her. However, accustomed Blake does not react and takes out the cigarettes. Walking towards the exit she puts on her jacket and her wepon . Being at the door she turns and looks at me.
" Your new scroll is lying on the dresser next to some Lien, activate it ".
" And if you are going to leave I beg you not to kill anyone if you don't have to ".
'Yes yes big bad me '
With food in my mouth I nod to her. With a sigh Blake leaves the room. Finishing my food I get up from the bed and walk towards the bathroom. Walking over to the sink I pull out my toothbrush and I brush my teeth.
" Blake has changed she has lost her old courage she is not sure what to do ".
" She is afraid of her own identity and past ".
" She is not sure of the future ".
Listening to the voice in the bathroom, I spit the toothpaste out of my mouth and look in the mirror. I see my reflection talking to me.
" It's totally like she doesn't want to believe the truth that white fang is bad ".
" She doesn't trust anyone after what happened with Adam ".
" She doesn't even trust us "
My reflection says with a smile when I look at it.
" She blames Adam however she may start blaming us or herself ".
" However, there is a way to protect her let's destroy the white fang and kill Adam"
Says my reflection with a wide smile on his face.
' Blake asked me not to kill anyone.
"She can talk she knows what we are and yet she loves us ".
Finishing this sentence, my reflection and I turn toward the open bathroom door where a terrified girl from the room service is standing.
' She has brought breakfast'
Rinsing my mouth of foam with water, I look in the mirror one last time. My reflection with a smile says.
" We will finish it some other time".
Walking away from the sink I walk towards the shaking girl. Seeing me even though she is taller she is unable to look down into my eyes.
'Didn't she run away? '
Her reaction is funny enough to make me giggle. I hear the girl swallow her saliva.
"I'm sorry I thought no one was there I knocked and no one answered so I used the employee key," she says.
" I came to change the bedding "
Says the girl stammering and looking away. I look at the cart behind her in which there are pillows and sheets.
'So dedicated to work '
"What's your name? "
I ask her to which she replies.
"Ebony "
I can hear her heartbeat so I know she is not lying.
"Ebony you won't tell anyone about what you heard not even the girl I live with."
'Not that Blake doesn't know '.
I say calmly with a smile to which the girl nods. I turn around and pick up a new scroll along with some Lien putting them in my pocket, I put on my shoes. I pick up a pack of cigarettes putting them in my pocket and walk out of the room leaving the terrified girl behind .
