... escaping the talons of her occultist upbringing, that curiosity got the better of her. Her roommate was Cassandra, a mix of Asian and Caucasian, and as intelligent as she was beautiful. They bonded quickly, both feeling as if they were outcasts, albeit for very different reasons. Cassandra and Freya talked about everything, Freya’s splintered psyche being the only exception.
Freya eventually felt compelled to visit an occult shop and buy some candles and a large, ornate divination mirror. One fall evening, the wind moaning through the windows, she lit a single candle and placed it between her meditating self and the gateway of a mirror, determined to prove to herself that the bittersweet journey through possible realities was nothing more than a pleasant dream woven around a nightmare, brought on by illicit drugs and her wanton sexuality.

The candle cast an ethereal, spectral glow around her body, softening the edges and adding a mystical allure to her already incredibly sexy body. In harsh lighting, she looked mysterious, sexy, and hot; awash in the dim illumination of the candlelight; she looked like a dark, angelic demoness.
Her fiery hair, long and flowing, had that tousled, just-fucked look about it. Freya’s eyes shone from her face like steely beacons, mesmerizing and sultry. The eighteen-year-old’s breasts, high, plump, and pert, were, perhaps, a bit on the small side but perfectly formed; her nipples stood out, tilting slightly upward, sitting atop puffy areolas. An enviable hourglass figure curved down and out into full, lush hips, and her cleanly-shaven mound puffed out, causing gasps and horny reactions when viewed from behind. That is, if her voyeurs ...
