When Will My Reflection Show Who I Am Inside Novels & Stories

Suddenly my reflection smiled as I gasped backing up for a second. " Why are you surprised? " My reflection spoke to me as my body kept shivering. I lost my sanity. " I told you, you are me, and I are you. " My reflection laughed loudly hugging themselves as I held my hair in response. " I, what, are you! " I couldn't speak, I know what I'm already but I couldn't believe it. I will never accept it. " You look cool, Kelly, with me by your side, we will show this world the ruthless queen they deserve. "

I answered quickly as he sat down with the mirror in his hand, I moved closer immediately closing their little space between as I watched him caress the frame of the mirror "Is that part of the process of making it work?" I asked excitedly moving closer even when I was literally touching his bare skin. "No, it's not," he chuckled there’s no process, I’m just admiring its beauty," he added looking down at me and I lifted my head up feeling his gaze on me but couldn't look for long because I was too close to him to the point where his lips were just in my face when I looked over my shoulder to see him "the mirror has the power to show the past and the present perfectly. It is called the mirror

The one that had started everything. Ava took a deep breath. “Here goes nothing.” ⸻ The mirror was intact, shimmering faintly in the fading light. Its surface rippled as if it were water. Ava’s reflection stared back at her — or did it? There was something different this time. The reflection’s eyes were older, harder, and full of knowledge she didn’t yet possess. Ava swallowed. “Who… who are you?” The reflection smiled faintly. “I’m you. And I’m everything you could become if you fail the loop.”

It was still to come. Yusuf stopped behind her, so close that the warmth of his body seemed to caress her back, even though no touch had yet happened. "The mirror is cruel, Lauren." His voice whispered near her nape. "It shows everything. Even what you try to hide from yourself." She swallowed dryly. "But it is also fair," he continued. "Because it reflects, but it does not judge." A shiver ran from her heels to her nape. "Today, you will see yourself as I see you," he said. "And you will feel. Not with your skin. With everything."

The mirror across the room caught my reflection — pale, trembling, streaked with mud and dried blood. I looked like a queen carved out of a battlefield. My reflection blinked a second slower than I did. That made my stomach twist. “Stop it,” I whispered to myself. But the reflection didn’t. She tilted her head, slow, deliberate — the way Liora had. I took a step closer, my heart pounding. “You’re not real.” The reflection smiled. Not kindly. “You think she’s gone?” The voice wasn’t in the room. It was inside me.

Raw, unfiltered power. And as I caught my reflection in the dark glass of the office window—seeing my silhouette framed by the seat of a king—a dangerous thought took root. Maybe I can do this better than Axel. Better than Vincent. Better than Carlo. Maybe I could actually change the system from the inside out. But as I stared at the hard, unfamiliar lines of my own face in the glass, a terrifying question whispered back from the dark. Would I even recognize myself when the six months were over?

But the way he said it, quietly, gently, like a promise he didn’t believe, told me the truth he wouldn’t admit. He was afraid. And maybe he was right to be. I rose slowly, feeling the air shiver around me, the faint crackle of energy trailing from my fingertips. The shadows on the walls leaned in closer, like they were listening. “I need time,” I said. “To think. To… remember who I am.” He didn’t stop me when I walked out. The forest outside was waiting, cold and ancient. I followed the path to the sacred spring, where the moonlight rippled over the water like silver glass. I knelt by the edge, staring at my reflection, my eyes glowed faintly, threads of gold swirling like smoke.

Still, I felt a chill run down my spine as Elias finally picked it up and opened it. Inside was a single sheet. In handwriting that looked eerily like mine, it read: “You can replace the mirror, but not the reflection”. I felt sick. "What does that mean?" Elias’ jaw was set. "It means she wants you to doubt yourself. To believe there’s another version of you that could take your place." I swallowed hard. "And is there?" "No," he said immediately, with confidence that calmed something in me. But the questions had already been planted.

Which brought me to my current problem. I leaned closer to the mirror, examining my reflection with a critical eye. "I've already exposed so much of myself to him," I whispered to my reflection. "My personality. My sense of humor. The way I think. If he gets really close to Sexy Red now, won't he start putting the pieces together?"

“I didn’t expect you to be the killer. It wasn’t enough that you killed your parents-in-law. Why did you have to kill my mother too?” I looked at the three of them. They all had the same reaction. I froze for a moment. How was that possible? A mirror was just a mirror. It showed whoever stood in front of it. How could it show my face no matter who looked into it? But their grief did not look fake. What was so strange about that mirror? How could it make my wife, my trainee, and my neighbor all believe I was the killer? “I didn’t kill your mother. It wasn’t me.”
