Chapter Twenty-Six: Reflections
"What did you do?" shreiked Maria. "What did you do to me?"
The smoke was beginning to settle, and Emmy finally got a glimpse of the real Maria. What she saw was upsetting, to say the least. What was once a beautiful girl, fresh and vibrant, now appeared aged well beyond her years. But it was more than that. Emmy's spell had uncovered what Bella had been doing to Maria all this time. She was killing her slowly, toying with the DiPotere line for her own amusement.
But now, Emmy had Maria to deal with, and clearly she had no idea the curse she was under. Hatred for Miss Emmy burned through her eyes, sunken and lifeless though they appeared. Anger clouded her sickly looking face as she seethed. "I knew you wouldn't resist my trick, Miss Emmy. I knew you would come, and now you will die."
"That is enough," commanded Emmy. Her voice grew low and deep, and filled the room with sound. All around her the air began to smoke and swirl as lightning cracked overhead. Maria grew still.
"Look into my eyes," said Emmy. "Look into my eyes and see what you've become."
Maria did as instructed. Emmy's eyes grew wide and dark, and became reflecting pools filled with Maria's image. Maria felt as if her heart would break. Who was this creature she saw? This sad and weakened monster? Surely it was a trick.
But she knew it was not. For the first time in a long time, Maria saw the truth.
