"Lucifer?"
–Huff... Huff–
Every breath I draw is ragged. And then an audible gasp echoes the moment I utter the name 'Lucifer'.
I turn my neck— gaze focusing at the direction of the gasp. And I see that it's Jennette— she's sitting on her bed. Momentarily frozen in shock as she holds the polish brush she was using to polish her toenails.
Her reaction says it all— her visible quivers, her widened eyes, and her trembling trembling hands that she slowly covers her mouth with..
I squint my eyes, zooming in on her. And for a brief second, the two green rings revolving around her... glitch. They turn black, just for a blink. And then they turn back.
What the hell is that? Wait a minute... No one else can see these rings. I've never told anyone, and I have never even questioned it much until now, I just accepted it as another mysterious gift in this world. But this... This isn't normal. Rings don't change color, they... I've never seen them do.
