Work Text:
Vanessa took a deep breath as she stared into the eyes reflecting in her mirror. She told herself that was her in the mirror. Vanessa. She was Vanessa. She was Vanessa, no one else. Not them, her.
Me, not us. She reminded herself for the hundredth time. She knew that. They would never be her. They were them, and she was her. She was Vanessa, not Vanny, not ‘The rabbit'. Vanessa.
She knew she had to be, but she couldn't help but feel like she wasn't staring at her reflection. She was staring at them. At that stupid rabbit! Oh, how she hated them. Hated, hated, hated!
She gripped the edge of the sink and looked down, away from the mirror. She took a deep breath and started to walk away. She had a job to do. She had to.
She had to.
