Friend or Foe?

As her mid-length, wavy brown hair flew with the wind, Vivian stood upon a world like no other. Walking around in curiosity, Vivian found a building that seemed abandoned. She walked in and walked through hallways. There were 4 floors, on the first floor she found a bunker.

She found a mirror in there, but what was looking back at her...

"AHHHHH!!" Vivian screamed, as she saw her completely black eyes and Xs for pupils. "WHAT THE HELL?!". She noticed her wings and horns. Vivian began to cry. She was filled with fear at the sight of her reflection. Tears streaming down her face. After a few minutes of non stop crying, Vivian wiped her tears with the sleeve of her red, zip up jacket and calmed down a little. She left the bunker in search for more people, but with the way she looked, she wondered if she should call the others "people".

While walking, Vivian found a woods. She explored further and found a wooden shack. Still, no one in sight. The inside of the shack was trashed, with papers all over the place and the bed not even being a bed, just the frame. Vivian decided to stay for a while but didn't stay long before leaving. Vivian decided to explore beyond the gray and green woods.

Beyond the woods, was, a castle? It was small and not like the ones you'd see in movies. "A square keep?" Vivian said, walking towards it. While walking towards the cracked castle, Vivian heard leaves crunching. "Someone else is here?!" She thought. The crunching grew closer. Feeling on edge and paranoid, Vivian hid behind a nearby boulder.

Who walked out was a lady, maybe in her 20s, with short, dark blue hair and a gray sweater. Her eyes as black as Vivians, except, her pupils were normal. They were the color of a pinkish beige. The lady seemed confused just as Vivian was.

" Huh?"  Vivian saw the the lady's confusion and fright written on her face, so with caution, she walked toward her. The lady jumped at the sight of Vivian, this is when Vivian realized, the woman had wings just like Vivian. Black, angel wings, except they were smaller, and kind of useless. "Eh! Wha- what are you?!" The lady yelled. "Had she not seen herself yet? We look identical." Vivian thought but then soon responded. "I don't know...".
