Bleeding Mirror And The Woman

Fictional Horror Story

By MUHAMMAD HAMZA AZHARPublished 4 years ago • 6 min read

The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. I stood frozen, staring at the figure in the glass. It was a woman, but not any woman I had ever seen before. Her hair was black as night, and her eyes were a piercing green. Her skin was deathly pale, and her lips were the color of blood. I stepped closer to the mirror, my hand reaching out to touch the glass. As my fingertips brushed against the surface, the woman's eyes met mine. I recoiled, taking a step back, but her gaze held me in place. It was like she was looking directly into my soul. Suddenly, the mirror shattered, sending shards of glass flying in all directions. I stumbled backwards, narrowly avoiding the deadly fragments. When I looked back at the mirror, it was no longer reflecting anything. It was just a broken, empty frame. I thought that was the end of it. I cleaned up the glass and tried to put it out of my mind. But that was only the beginning. That night, I had a nightmare. I was back in front of the mirror, and the woman was there again. She was beckoning me, and I couldn't resist her call. I stepped into the mirror, and everything went black. When I woke up, I felt like I hadn't slept at all. My head was pounding, and my heart was racing. I tried to brush it off as just a bad dream, but something felt off. The world around me seemed different somehow. It was like I had stepped into an alternate reality. Over the next few days, things only got worse. The air was heavy with a sense of dread, and I could feel something watching me from the shadows. I started to see things out of the corner of my eye—movement that wasn't really there, or glimpses of the woman from the mirror. I knew I needed to get rid of the mirror. I tried to smash it, but it wouldn't break. I tried to throw it away, but it always ended up back in my house. It was like the mirror was cursed, and it was determined to stay with me. That's when I started to notice the bleeding. At first, it was just a drop or two of blood on my pillowcase. I thought maybe I had just scratched myself in my sleep. But then I started finding blood on my clothes, on my furniture, even on the walls. And it wasn't just my blood. It was the woman's blood, too. It was like she was bleeding through from the other side of the mirror. I tried to ignore it, but I couldn't. I knew I needed to do something, anything, to make it stop. I reached out to a psychic, hoping they could help me get rid of the mirror or at least figure out what was going on. The psychic came to my house, and as soon as they walked through the door, they stopped dead in their tracks. They could feel the energy in the air, the sense of something malevolent lurking just out of sight. When we got to the mirror, the psychic's eyes widened. They could sense the presence of the woman, and they knew that she was not a benign entity. "It's not just a mirror," the psychic said. "It's a portal. And something has crossed over from the other side." The psychic performed a cleansing ritual, but it didn't work. The mirror was too powerful, too cursed. It was like it was alive, and it was determined to bring the woman from the other side into our world. That's when things took a turn for the worse. The bleeding got worse, and the woman started to appear more frequently. I could hear her whispering in my ear my name in a voice that chilled me to the bone. And then, one night, she appeared in front of me. I could see her clearly now, not just in the mirror. She was dressed in a long white gown, her hair flowing around her like black smoke. Her eyes bore into mine, and I could feel her trying to pull me towards her. I backed away, but she kept coming closer. And then, just as I thought she was going to grab me, she disappeared into the mirror. I knew then that I had to destroy the mirror, no matter what it took. I grabbed a hammer and started smashing it, piece by piece. But with each blow, the mirror seemed to fight back. The pieces started to glow with an eerie light, and I could feel the woman's power growing stronger. It was like a battle between life and death, light and darkness, and I wasn't sure who was winning. Finally, with one last blow, the mirror shattered into a million pieces. I collapsed on the floor, exhausted but relieved. The woman was gone, and I knew I had won the battle. But the victory was short-lived. As I looked around, I realized that the bleeding was still happening. And then I saw it—the shards of glass that had flown out of the mirror were embedded in my skin. I tried to pull them out, but they wouldn't budge. And then I saw the woman's face in the shards, her eyes burning into mine once again. I knew then that I had made a mistake. I had shattered the mirror, but I had also shattered the barrier between our world and the other side. The woman was now a part of me, and there was no getting rid of her. I lived the rest of my life haunted by her, her whispers in my ear, her blood on my hands. And I knew that when I died, she would be waiting for me on the other side, ready to claim me for her own. Years passed, and though I could never forget the horrors that had taken place, I found a way to live with them. I moved away from the old house, started a new life, and eventually found love. My wife was everything I had ever wanted, and with her by my side, I felt like I could face anything. We had a beautiful home, filled with love and laughter, and I knew that I had finally found peace. But as I grew older, I could feel the woman's presence growing stronger. Her whispers became more frequent, her face appeared more often in my dreams. And as I lay on my deathbed, I knew that she was waiting for me once again. But this time, I was ready for her. I had lived a good life, filled with love and joy. And as I closed my eyes for the last time, I could feel her slipping away, her grip on me finally loosening. I opened my eyes, and there she was, standing before me. But this time, she was different. Her eyes were no longer filled with rage and hatred. Instead, they were soft and gentle, and I could see the sadness in them. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice barely more than a whisper. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just so alone." I looked at her, and I could see the pain that she had been carrying for so long. And then I reached out my hand, and for the first time, she took it. We walked together, through a world that was both beautiful and terrifying. But this time, I wasn't afraid. I knew that I was no longer alone, and that together, we could face whatever lay ahead. And as we walked into the light, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I was no longer haunted by my past, no longer afraid of what lay ahead. Instead, I was filled with a sense of hope and joy, and I knew that wherever I went, she would be there with me, guiding me towards a better tomorrow.
