Chapter 12
“Oh my god, thank you.”
Nikki stopped when she heard a voice. She doesn’t know where it coming from because she’s the only one here at the clinic and nothing else. Nikki looked everywhere to clinic and finding the voice a man.
“It’s a long decade and now I’m free.”
Slowly, Nicki's eyes widened, she looked in one direction and knew there was a voice coming out. Gradually the clothes she saw were colored, she could see the feet, hands and arms until she could see the whole man in front. She couldn't help but notice that someone was in front of her. He wore the same London costume as you saw in the mirror before she lost consciousness.
But she could already see his face clearly. White, smooth face, sharp nose, thick eyebrows just right on the face, curly hair, fine-tuned, red lips and sleepy eyes. The young man fixed his dress, “and you’re the one who release from the curse,” the young man said to her.
“AHHHHH!” Nikki screamed while going out from the clinic.
She almost stumbled just to get out and get away. She even had a headache and a back pain from falling to the floor. It doesn’t matter just to leave the nightmare. It was late at night and the party was over. Even if she wanted to ask for help she knew no one would hear her at that time.
She was close to the dorm where there were two trees about four meters each and in the middle were huge pots with poinsettia. There are a few benches there. She knew she was close when she could feel her feet slowly sinking down the paved road.
She was startled by the sight of the feet until the ground closed and became stiff again. She tries to leave even though she knows she doesn't know how. It was dark on that side but at the same time the young man appeared before her and the lighting of the hanging circles on the trees was decorated. Nicki felt like the Christmas light had come early. She was amazed at the illumination, but she was more and more afraid of what she was facing now.
“Why did you ran?” The young man asked her.
“A….Me, you’re talking to me?” Nikki didn’t believe this is happening to her.
The young man’s eyes widened and looked to any direction before looking at her again, “you can see that I can’t?”
“Wh…what?” Nikki didn’t understand the young man, “who are you? You did this to me? Where you came from?”
The young man stood up straight and faking coughed before he talks, “I am the only one prince Dominic of Waterline Kingdom, yes I am the one who did that and I coming from the mirror.”
“Mirror?” Another question Nikki asked to the young man.
“Yes to the mirror, because….”
“Wait! Wait a minute. It looks like you will tell a long story why not release me here.”
“How did you know that I will tell a long story? Are you same with me?”
“Faster please,” Nikki said. She glanced at her feet and what could be happen. Her feet just lifted up, and she didn't feel anything or hurt at all.
“Are you alright?” Dominic asked.
“Yes, I’m fine.” And then Nikki ran inside the dormitory. She didn't stop and she wanted to escape that young man that I might have done to something to her. But when Nicki entered her room she saw Dominic lying on her bed. She would come out again when the door to the bedroom closed. She tried to open it but she couldn't, so she faced the young man again.
“Why did you ran again? I didn’t do something bad towards you and perhaps I wanted to say thank you,” Dominic said.
“Because this doesn’t normal like being appeared anytime and anywhere in front of me and then you will said you came from the mirror. You look like you join to the magic show or swords play. And then…wait, what did you say, you will thank me for what?”
Dominic sat down to her bed, “is more not normal a lady like you wearing a pants.”
Nikki stopped and looked down to her pants.
“Are you a man or something?”
She was surprised the way Dominic asked her.
“Okay, fine I will start telling you my story it because I’m decade being prison inside the mirror. May parents and my siblings jailed me there because I’m prodigal son.”
“And then?”
“They throw me to the wasteland far from them. Someone picked me and wishfully think someone might help me but that didn’t happened. Queen Veronica used me to her selfish plan.”
“And who is Queen Veronica?”
“She is the mistress and fake mother of Snow White and I’m the mirror. She didn’t touched me because if she do that I’m might free and the curse was break. You touched the mirror that’s why I’m free.”
Nikki didn’t believe to his story, “Snow White and Mirror?”
Dominic shrugged his shoulder, “who is the beautiful of them all?” The young man imitate some woman voice but he failed, “you are the beautiful of them all my queen.”
She remembered everything and until she remembered her favorite fairy tale story, “you are the one who’s talking to mirror?”
“Exactly.”
“But how did the mirror came here?”
“I know I’m still here in Waterline but I realized when I came out I’m not in the Waterline anymore and I think this is not Waterline.”
“Yes,” Nikki still confused everything. “this is not the Waterline you’ve said because this is West University and this is a school.”
