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

Pumasok lang ako sa cubicle saglit para umihi, pagkalabas ko ay sumalubong sa akin ang reflection noong babae kanina. Napahinto siya sa paglalagay ng kung ano sa mukha nang maaninag ako katabi lang ng reflection niya. Inayos niya ang sarili at napatuwid ng tayo. Sa nakikita ko ay hindi pa siya tapos sa ginagawa pero nasa akin na ang atensyon.

"What does it do?" "It has the power to reveal your true self," he explained. "Not just your physical appearance, but the essence of who you are, including your wolf." My pulse thrummed with anticipation and nervousness. Could this mirror truly show me my wolf, the one I feared I might never find? My father stepped aside, allowing me to approach the mirror on my own. As I stood before it, I gazed into the reflective surface, not quite sure of what to expect. At first, my reflexion stared back at me, familiar yet tinged with uncertainty. But then, as if by magic, the image began to shift and change. The features of my face blurred and morphed, and suddenly, there she was - my wolf.

I said, my voice steady despite the unease creeping through me. The reflection laughed softly, the sound laced with mockery. “And what does that mean? Do you even understand? Or are you just parroting what you’ve been told?” “I’m here to confront myself,” I said firmly. “To accept every part of me, light and dark.” The reflection’s smirk widened. “Then let’s begin.” The mirror shimmered, and the reflection stepped out, becoming flesh and blood. She was identical to me, yet there was an undeniable power radiating from her - a confidence and ferocity I hadn’t yet claimed for myself. She circled me slowly, her eyes sharp and calculating.

She often came here after events, the one space where reflection multiplied until it felt like company. She stood before the largest panel, studying the woman who stared back. The gown, flawless. The posture, immaculate. But the eyes, there, she found something that didn’t belong. A flicker of… question. She imagined speaking to that reflection. Who are you when no one’s watching? The thought unsettled her enough to break the stillness. She pressed a palm to the mirror; the cool surface offered no warmth, only confirmation of shape. Her phone vibrated again from the vanity inside the suite. She ignored it. For the first time, she didn’t want to know.

Olivia had faced numerous challenges and uncertainties along the way, but she had persevered, and the sense of fulfillment she felt that night made her more determined. Stepping closer to the mirror, Olivia inspected her reflection more closely. Her smile was bright, her eyes filled with a sparkling enthusiasm. She raised a hand up and placed the other on her chest and whispered, "Thank you for believing in yourself, Olivia." The mirror seemed to reflect not just her physical appearance but also her inner spirit. The journey to her art exhibition had been an exploration of her identity, her creativity, and her purpose in life. It was a journey of self-discovery, and she had emerged stronger

With each step, the trials came alive, manifesting as illusions that tested every fiber of my being. The first trial was a labyrinth of mirrors, reflecting distorted versions of myself. Doubt and uncertainty clouded my mind as I navigated the maze, but I clutched the Stone of Resolve tightly, allowing its luminous glow to guide me through the confusing hallways. With every step forward, my reflection in each mirror grew clearer—a testament to my growing self-awareness and inner strength.

The ache in my wounds deepened. I stood before the mirror and pulled off my dress. The reflection showed raw, red welts and bleeding cuts crisscrossing my body. I remembered how, even the smallest scratch on my finger was enough for Joseph to fuss over. He would clean it himself, wrap it carefully, forbid the maids to take over. And now, I picked up a damp wipe, awkwardly twisting my body to clean the gashes. The sting of the alcohol was sharp. I leaned against the chair back, biting my lip, afraid to breathe too hard through the pain.

I replied in a low voice. “Are you weak?” “No.” “Are you lost?” I shook my head and took a deep breath. “No.” “Then say it.” I looked at myself in the mirror. It was that one thing I had been neglecting to do. I have been seeing my own reflection every day but I haven’t got the time to look through it, to understand it, and to comfort the wounded soul staring back at me. But she will be okay. Both of us will be. And when the time comes, our broken selves will unite and we will be one again. I just needed a little more time.

"You are a failure, Eira, the actual scum of the earth." As I gazed at my reflection, I saw someone who was struggling to reconcile her own decisions. The weight of responsibility pressed down on me, and I wondered if I would ever learn from my mistakes. The mirror became a silent witness to my internal battle, a reminder of the choices that had led me to this moment.

Down my spine. Through my chest. It replaces everything. Everything weak. Everything human. Everything that failed. And the more it takes— The less I feel. No pain. No hesitation. No doubt. Just purpose. Just clarity. Just power. My reflection flickers in the broken glass nearby. I turn. Look at it. Really look. And for a second I don’t recognize myself. Because I don’t want to. My eyes, still mine. But darker. Deeper. Endless. Something else.
