The Girl Inside The Mirror
Updated at Aug 30, 2026, 12:33
Full Story Summary There are some things people are never supposed to discover. There are doors that should remain closed, names that should never be spoken, and mirrors that should never be looked into after midnight. For seventeen-year-old Aria Vale, mirrors have always been strange. She doesn't know why. She simply knows that she has never liked them. As a child, Aria would refuse to sleep in rooms with large mirrors. She hated walking past them at night. She hated the feeling that sometimes came over her when she caught her reflection unexpectedly, as though the person staring back at her was studying her instead of simply copying her. Her mother, Maraine Vale, always dismissed the fear as childhood imagination. But there was one mirror Maraine never allowed Aria to touch. It was an old, tall mirror hidden beneath a dusty white sheet in the attic. Whenever Aria asked about it, her mother became unusually serious. "That mirror belonged to your father." That was all she would say. Aria's father, Daniel Vale, had disappeared when she was five years old. According to the story Aria had been told all her life, Daniel had left home one night and never returned. There had been no body, no goodbye, and no explanation. For twelve years, Aria had believed her father was simply gone. She had eventually stopped asking questions. Until her seventeenth birthday. Because that is the night the girl inside the mirror finally wakes up. --- THE BEGINNING OF THE MYSTERY Aria's seventeenth birthday begins normally. She goes to school, spends time with her best friend June, receives a small birthday cake from her mother, and tries to pretend she isn't disappointed that her birthday feels ordinary. June is the complete opposite of Aria. Where Aria is thoughtful and cautious, June is loud, curious, and fearless. She is the kind of person who would see a warning sign saying DO NOT ENTER and immediately want to know what is behind it. The two have been friends since childhood. June knows about Aria's fear of mirrors, but she thinks it is simply one of Aria's strange habits. That night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Aria wakes up. She hears a sound. A soft tapping. Three knocks. Then silence. Three more knocks. The sound is coming from her bedroom mirror. Aria initially convinces herself it is probably a branch hitting the window. But when she turns toward the mirror, she realizes something is wrong. Her reflection is standing perfectly still. Aria is sitting on her bed. The reflection is standing. Aria slowly gets to her feet. The reflection does not move. Instead, it smiles. Aria doesn't. The reflection raises its hand and places its palm against the glass. Aria backs away. Then the reflection writes four words across the inside of the mirror. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER ME. The glass cracks. Maraine rushes into the room. The moment she sees the mirror, she becomes terrified. Not surprised. Not confused. Terrified. She grabs Aria and tells her they have to leave immediately. Aria demands answers. Maraine refuses. Then every mirror in the house suddenly shatters. And from the broken glass, Aria hears a girl's voice. A voice that sounds strangely familiar. The girl says one word. "Finally." --- THE SECRET OF ARIA'S MOTHER Maraine takes Aria out of Bellwick before sunrise. She refuses to explain where they are going. Aria becomes angry. For the first time in her life, she realizes her mother has been hiding something enormous. During the journey, Aria notices a silver key hanging around Maraine's neck. She has seen the key before. Her mother has worn it for as long as Aria can remember. When Aria asks about it, Maraine finally reveals part of the truth. The key belonged to Daniel. Her father. But the key isn't for a normal lock. It opens a mirror. Maraine tells Aria that Daniel disappeared because he was searching for something. Someone. A girl. Aria immediately assumes he had another daughter. Maraine refuses to answer. Before they can continue, they are attacked by masked strangers. Maraine tells Aria to run. Aria escapes into an abandoned building. Inside the building is an enormous mirror. Unlike ordinary mirrors, its surface looks like black water. Aria hears the girl's voice again. This time, she introduces herself. Her name is Selene. Selene tells Aria that the masked people are called the Glasskeepers. They are an ancient order whose purpose is to protect the boundary between the human world and another realm. A realm called Veyra. Aria thinks Selene is lying. Then Selene reaches through the mirror. And Aria sees an entire world on the other side. --- VEYRA Veyra is not another planet. It is another reflection of the world. Long ago, Veyra and Earth were connected. People could cross between the two. Magic existed openly. Some humans could manipulate reflections. Some Veyrans could enter the That's all for now 😌🤫🤭 Can't spoil the fun of the story 😊😌 Til the full story is released Hope you liked it
