What exactly happen to them?

LANCE

I tentatively take three steps back. Away from her. Away from all this.

"Lance?"

"You...what are you?"

She laugh as if I'm having crazy talks again. Which, last time I check, has been pretty frequent whenever I'm around her.

"What do you mean 'what are you?' I'm me. Meira, your girlfriend." She take a step forward and make a move to grab my shoulder.

I slid my eyes back to the mirror. Her image is still withered and nasty looking. Along her smile, she looks like a rotten tree woman with trunk skin and maggots crawling at every hole in her face.

I think back to the conversations I've been hearing between a girl and a man. They talk about me, falling in a trap. About a Faery they call 'Temptress'.

I don't exactly know what's that...But judging by the name, I can guess, they're good at charming men. Like siren. They appear to look really pretty and seductive to lure victims...especially men and then, I gulped. They'll eat them.
