Haunting Adeline Mirror Chapter Novels & Stories

Crash! Adeline flinched as the sound of shattering glass echoed from the other wing of the house. The sudden commotion pulled her from her seat; a storm was brewing, and she could already guess the source. In the hallway, a scene of domestic tyranny unfolded. Eleanor stood over one of the maids, her face contorted with a rage that aged her beyond her years. At her feet lay a mangled designer dress and a shattered glass, the floor a hazardous mosaic of liquid and shards.

Dad added, "She's right. Don't hold back. Tell us what you want. You don't need to save money for us. Adeline sends us money every month, so we're doing fine." Clara snuggled closer to my mother and smiled. "You two are the best! I love you so much!" She glanced at her phone and frowned. "But we'll have to wait a while. The food I ordered still isn't here. It's already late!" Just as she dialed the delivery number, my phone rang. They all turned toward the sound, and our eyes met. I stood frozen in shock. Clara suddenly hid behind my mother, her voice shaking. "Adeline, why are you hiding in the alley? Are you following me? Please don't hurt me again. I'm scared!"

The Blood Mirror let out a piercing hum. The entire catacomb trembled. Cracks spiderwebbed across the ancient stone pillars. The candles flickered wildly, casting eerie shadows. "Impossible..." The elder backed away, shaking. "The mirror is moving on its own? This breaks all the ancient laws..." But the mirror was beyond anyone's control now. It ruthlessly drained my very last drops of blood. The crimson light was blinding. I could feel the last bit of warmth leaving my body, but at the same time, a twisted sense of satisfaction washed over me.

He didn't move till she got to him. With raw determination, she raised it to his neck and brought it down to jam into his vein when Poe came in. She jumped forward immediately, kicking Adeline away. Adeline staggered back. The broken mirror fell from her. "What the fuck were you doing? No one survives a stab on the neck with a damn broken mirror!" Poe glared. Adeline started calming with heavy breaths, coming back to her senses. Honestly, two minutes ago, she had no idea what was happening to her.

Out of curiosity, I turned to the small mirror near the door. At first, I saw myself with wet hair, wide scared eyes, and a pale face. The light blinked so fast again. And for a second, someone stood behind me in the mirror, not in the room. Only in the mirror, and watching me. Dark suit, blood rolling down his face, grey eyes. “Adrian Vale.” I screamed and spun around, but no one was there, an empty room. I looked back at the mirror, and he was still there. I was so terrified.

"You smell like him." My heart stopped. The hounds are coming. I looked past Kael, past Ronan's brooding glare, past Zephyr's calculating silence—and I saw the shattered mirror. In the reflection, just for a split second, a pair of molten gold eyes blinked back at me from the darkness. I wasn't crazy. And my life was about to change forever. END OF CHAPTER 2

he muttered. “Your book fell. I put it back on the shelf. Go get it and stop bothering me,” he said, closing his eyes. Adeline’s cheeks burned with embarrassment. She fetched her book, sat on the bed, leaned back, and resumed reading. Her eyes grew heavier and heavier. She finally set the book on the bedside table, pulled up the blanket, and closed her eyes. ***

The bell rang, almost deafening Anne's ears as she made her way to the restroom. She then carefully closed the door behind her. When her gaze wandered around, catching her reflection in the mirror, her eyebrows instantly crossed. Standing in front of her was a teen in her neat uniform, perky and beautiful. But the figure had been deformed with the frown visible in her face. Yet she doesn't see it that way, only deeming herself as ugly and attention-unworthy.

she asked Haneul as a vague image of her as a young girl playing with a firefly that suddenly did not look like one. Haneul smirked at the question, knowing exactly what she was thinking. "No, Alice, a faerie, is not small. Pixies are small. You might have met one." Tina shook her head, "I had a feeling." she mumbled, "Who's Veronica, then?" "Veronica is a Mirror." "What?!" Tina stood up in surprise. "Calm down. She's on our side." Haneul assured her. "You're kidding me, right?" Tina could not believe him. How could a Mirror be on their side? Didn't he remember what they just went through dealing with Monique?

Nicole had successfully captured every movement, gesture and conversation. Vincent and Myra in the courtyard exactly as I had presumed. Then, I saw the masked lady and how Myra presented the scarf to her with joy. I knew from the build she was Adeline, and her covered body did nothing to deceive me. I watched as she tried to retrain and control her responses, imperceptible to everyone but me.
