She stood frozen as her reflection pulled itself from the mirror, her own bloodstained paws emerging from the glass. There was a feral look in her reflection's eyes. Like a cornered animal. Blood drizzled down her heaving chest from a fresh wound. Her body was hunched with the weight of what she had just done.  Â
For a moment, they stared at each other, almost as if it were still a reflection, though one look could reveal that was not the case. Blood dripped from the mirror Princess' muzzle.
A fearful whining emerged from the reflection's throat before erupting into a screech as she lunged for the real Princess. Flailing claws connected with Princess' shoulder, knocking her out of her shock. She cried out, staggering backwards. She brought a paw up to her shoulder, seeming almost confused as she pulled it back to see blood staining her paw.Â
Another frenzied swipe whistled past her ear, and Princess moved instinctively, lunging to pin her reflection.
The reflection let out a garbled cry, barely managing to form words, "I DON'T WANNA DIE!"
Princess' breathing quickened as she stared into her own terrified eyes. She had seen eyes like them before. So full of fear and desperation. She had watched the light fade from them after she finished her job. But now she was confronted with her own eyes...and she found she didn't know what to do next.
Wanted to make some art for Princess' latest post >:D
I've always been a sucker for trail cam horror type stuff...glowing eyes in the darkness. I had already described Princess' reflection as a cornered animal in the post, and I thought it would be cool to really embrace that animalistic-ness by making her eyes glow like they do when you flash a light towards an animal in the dark.Â
Also! Just wanted to share the original sketch for this, since I still quite like it, even though it was just done on my phone with my finger pfff I wanted to make a cleaned up version for the actual post, but the messiness of the original sketch is just kinda a neat vibe.
