Snippet #1368430

"...99, 100." James opened his eyes, not surprised to find himself alone. "Ready or not, here I come," he murmured inenthusastically. Sighing heavily, the human stood up and headed out the door. The sooner he got this over with, the sooner he could get some sleep. Unfortunately, it didn't look like Chibi intended to make this easy for him. After the fifth empty room, he was tempted to just give up and start on the second half of his list. Pride was the only thing that kept him from doing so. There was no way in hell he was going to let a little girl beat him in a kid's game. Irrate but determined, he opened the next door... only to find someone behind it.

He jumped back with a yelp, heart pounding a mile a minute. The stranger did the same. Once he'd gotten ahold of himself, James recognized the other person's messy brown hair and steely blue eyes. Himself. Just a reflection. Annoyed though he was, curiosity won over as he stepped inside. Next to the mirror was another one, and another and another. An entire maze of reflective glass. "You've got to be kidding me." Still, he pressed on, knowing that if Chibi had to pick anywhere to hide, this would be the place. It was unnerving being around so many people, even if they were all just his own reflection.

After a short while, he was sufficiently lost and cursing himself for not leaving some kind of trail to follow back out. It was at that moment he spotted a flash of red hair and white lace against black out of the corner of his eye. With a smirk, James rushed towards it. "There you are you little-" WHAM! In the his eagerness to end this sadistic little game, he hadn't seen his own form in front of him until he'd run face first into yet another mirror. The teen fell to his knees, holding his likely-bleeding nose in pain. "Come on!!" His angry voice echoed off of the walls around him. "Where are you, you little freak!?"
