Last Updated:
2021-12-31 15:20:21“Granddad, are you coming with us?” Aaron invited his grandfather, who denied his invitation.
“No, you carry on with your craziness. Don’t bother me. I just wandered around... (Mr Alex paused when he looked at the portrait of Hexa)... here. “Mr Alex replied.
Aaron nodded and scooted to look for Mrtyu. She was behind everyone else, wandering the place where all students waited before the big door, which had a naming board made of glass, and it stated, in etched words, “Laberinto de Espejos.”
Everyone had fun articulating the word on the door. Mrtyu opened the translator app on her mobile and took a screenshot of the board, “Laberinto de Espejos,” the app publicized as, “Mirror Maze.”
“The architect who renovated this building has purposely named everything in Spanish.” Aaron remarked, “It wasn’t freshly etched, it might have aged half a century.”

The mirror maze was perfectly built, one needed to touch the glass surface to identify between the wall and the door as it reflects everything. Everyone enjoyed the maze and was amused to find the door to exit which was soundproofed. So no one can hear others except the people who are with them. After Aaron exited through one door, Mrtyu was left all alone in six walled mirror maze, she took her mobile and found a no-signal icon. “Damn this place. No signal. They have installed the signal jammer or what?” She clicked on the camera icon to photograph her reflection. To pass the time while waiting for Aaron's return, she attempted different positions and made funny faces. When she was taking pictures, she saw a scarlet butterfly was twirling around her head and landing on her left shoulder which was reflected in the mirror in front of her. Mrtyu turned her head with a smiling face to look at the butterfly and no presence of butterfly, “Where did it go?”

Mrtyu was dwelling on his coldness. Her eyes involuntarily opened to look at him. Her eyes gazed over the mirror behind them, and it dilated the pupils in her eyes in terror. “What...?” She was shocked. “How is this possible?” Apart from the frosting atmosphere, Mrtyu could feel her pearls of sweat on her forehead as her heartbeat increased rapidly and the terrifying tremble spread all over her when she found only her reflection in the mirror around her and nothing else like the scarlet butterfly or the man who had been still. Her enlarged green eyes turned to her side, and she saw the man kissing her passionately, and the terror grabbed her soul horribly. When she felt her palms cold in fear that his hands were squeezingher waist, she found it impossible to breathe. “I can touch him,” she said as her hand around his neck unwrapped slowlyand her quivering fingers just reached his shoulder. Mrtyu gasped for

The middle door leads them to nine walled mirror rooms; Aaron tried to stick to Mrtyu, who had been ignoring him lately. “Mrt., why are you avoiding me?”“Six walls, three doors; nine walls, and it mean four or five doors. We need to find the doors that lead us to exit.“ Mrtyu murmured while calculating in her mind.Aaron pulled her hands. “Answer me, Mrt?““What are you doing? Leave my hands.” Mrtyu tried to show her cold shoulder to him to cover up the fact that she had embraced him, which she felt embarrassed about.“I can’t accept your accusations that I never did,” Aaron said boldly.His behaviour annoyed Mrtyu and said, “Just leave it. You have been acting weird lately. (She exhaled with wide nostrils) I don’t want to recall anything, and I have just erased everything about last night and what happened right now. Everything! (She recalled how she had been terrified

Mrtyu leaned against the mirror wall, her ears to the surface, listening for any signals of humans on the other side, her hands in the mirror wall, feeling the vibration of her colleagues who she guessed were on the other side.Mrtyu was well aware that the mirror walls were soundproof. She couldn't be heard by anyone, so she moaned, "Oh, where is the exit door? Did Ron forget to construct the exit door? Aaron and my colleagues both departed. I believe I am the only one trapped in this maze. I'm such an idiot to chase him away. (She exhaled) I wish the dead merchant could lead me to exit.""I hope you won't feel regret?" a masculine voice said. Mrtyu was startled by the voice, but she found comfort in the warmth of the voice after checking his reflection in the mirror.But she doesn't want to show her happiness in his presence, so she turned the other way because she can see him in the mirror in front of her. "Why should I be sorry? I accept your dec

“You are... Ron, you know it, I just confessed you thinking I am mind voicing. I never confessed ever in my life not even in my dreams. And I never got any confession from anyone.”Aaron stood still with a no-emotion face while Mrtyu tried to convince him, “You are not a choice, Ron, and you are not a diversion from my heartbreak for what happened between Seyfert and his date Dmitri... (She chuckled) Ron, I too can feel that.”“So?” he asked with arched eyebrows looking away from her.“So... so what? You still stole my first kiss, if you didn’t do that last night, you did it now. So I am not sparing you.”“Hey, did you say the first kiss?” Aaron got a spark in his mind.“Yes, it is. But I don’t think it’s your first too as you mentioned about roaming all countries without dating any girls.”Aaron stammered while Mrtyu took over her guard. “Mrt, it

"Granddad?" The voice of Aaron awakens the sleepy Mr Alex. "Napping?""Oh, Ron, You are out of the maze, and then we will lead the students to lunch." Mr Alex tried to stand from the garden bench where he rested with the little help of his grandson.Aaron asked after looking into the confusion-filled face of his grandfather. "Granddad, what were you thinking?""It’s nothing but old memories of my brother." Mr Alex said with a deep exhale, remembering the past."You have a brother?" Aaron was shocked."Why wouldn’t I? I had one, naughty like you." Mr Alex mentioned with a chuckle by poking at his chest of Aaron and walking ahead of him."HAD?" Aaron stopped and asked with open arms."I am our family's sole survivor. It's you after me. That's why I urged you to marry someone of your choosing in order to carry on our renown and name to future descendants." With a touch on the shoulder, Mr Alex counselled Aaron."Hmm, I

“I am going…” a voice behind informed.Its Seyfert!Seyfert asked Mr Alex with anxiety, Aaron looked at Seyfert with a surprised look while his girlfriend pulled him from behind, “Seyfert, are you nut? You can’t go inside…”“Dmi, please hold on. I will get back to you. Step aside.”“Mr Alex, can I go inside to find Mrtyu? She is my… my friend.” Seyfert asked him with worried thoughts of missing Mrtyu.Aaron inquired Seyfert, “You must be Seyfert if I am not wrong.”“Yes… I am Seyfert.” Seyfert extended his hand expecting a handshake, later he withdrew his hand as Aaron didn’t respond to him.Dmitri pulled him to plead, “Ferty, no, you are not doing it for her?”“I need to do it, Dmi. It’s my responsibility.” Seyfert insisted on his girlfriend with strong intonation.“Why do y

"I've always felt isolated in the vastness of the universe. I enjoy living in fantasy with my imagined companion and escaping reality by hiding behind a mask of a cheerful face, even if I've been harmed. But I'm not going to hide any longer. I have a man at my side who discoversme, cares for me and is always there for me." Mrtyu conveyed her inner enthusiasm for her newly discovered love for Aaron."The mirror maze not only mirrors us, but it also reflects our inner us. I realised that the illusion that occurred back there was my genuine, dark, desperate desire. I yearned to be treated welland spoiled by unconditional love. That's what the maze's mirrors reflect. To put it another way, it's a mind-tricking game. "Mrtyu assumed she had worked out that the inexplicable illusion that had occurred to her was nothing more than a mind game.She opened the door handle to the exit door from the mirror maze, expecting to see the brilliant afternoon sun, but

After a few minutes of digesting Hexa’s anger, Mrtyu wiped all her tears and told to Aaron hoping he could hear her, “Ron, I am sorry; I should have listened to your warnings. I think I’ve messed up. Yet I am not letting my guards down.”Mrtyu ran into the washroom to refresh her. She came out with wrapping and fit herself into the things which Hexa offered her as quickly as possible. After she was done, she rushed to open the door. But before she could pull the door’s handle, the door opened automatically for her.She found Hexa standing by the door waiting for her. He wore a blue tuxedo with a white shirt matching his outfit with Mrtyu. He romantically offered his arms to Mrtyu to get hold of; she stood like a statue on seeing with open arms.“Obsessing with me is quite natural,” Hexa told her with self-esteem. Mrtyu inhaled some air to fill her lungs that were out of breath and she f

Hexa offered her freshly tailored blue night ball gown with matching jewels. Mrtyu looked with wide eyes yet was not surprised with his offerings. He noticed the not-so-surprised look on her face and he asked her, “Don’t you like the colour? I can customize it for you. Tell me what do you prefer?”Mrtyu noticed his change in tone and temper. She processed in her mind quickly and figured out that Hexa was good at tailoring in female dresses. She tried to make a cool conversation with the ghost of the designer rather dreadful dead merchant. “The colour, ahem, is quite dull and I want it brighter.”“Brighter? How about lavender or purple? (He waved his hand to change the colour of the dress) which one, pick it?” Hexa looked at her face with curious eyes.“What do I do now?” she thought with inhaling. Her silence gave Hexa rather peculiar ideas.Within a second, Hexa

Aaron processed her words and figured out the way to exit. He instructed her, "Then be his guest and end all this, Mrt. I can’t die just watching you like this or hearing your voice.”Aaron continued, “Earlier that day, we both had bigger plans for our future together. Mrt, I want you. I want you to fill my life. I want us to contribute to our family’s lineage. I want us to grow older together.” Aaron convinced her to be the guest of Hexa.Mrtyu imagined building a palace with bricks of love earlier and now after hearing his declarations of his plans that includes her, she built the roof with trust. She felt happy inside that she is finally getting a family to take care of despite being her orphan life.Yet, she asked with a little shock, "Guest of a Ghost?""Fine, I will go," Mrtyu said, with a deep exhale, and dropped herself on the ground, leaning against the wall.

“Well, detective, it’s complicated to tell exactly in words. I try to explain to you with medical terms. He is suffering from type three panic attack,” the doctor told her while holding his stethoscope in his hands.“I don’t get it, doctor. What is type three and how severe it is?” Liroza asked impatiently while Dan was approaching her.“He had a panic attack which seized him neurotically. And he has fractures in his lumbar spine section and his neck collar bone is damaged. So he is not in the position to give you the statement of what exactly happened to him last night.”“So he is alive, then.” Liroza knitted her eyebrows and expected a positive response from the doctor.“Yet, as for now, we can’t assure you anything of his survival level after his damages.”“What do you think of (sniffed) his condition? Who or how?”

After a few minutes of trying to reach her, he felt soreness in his throat. He lay on the ground and recalled the happy moments he had with her and moaned, "Mrtyu."Mrtyu was preoccupied with the happiest hours she had ever spent with Aaron in her life and moaned about how her life was turned upside down in a fraction of a second. She heard his voice and responded to him, "Ron?"When Aaron heard her voice echoing in the darkroom, Aaron sat up and tried to focus. "Mrtyu?"Mrtyu heard the voice of Aaron, yet thought that she had been hallucinating his voice in her mind. She sighed, "I wish I could hear you, Aaron.""Mrt, you are hearing me. You are not hallucinating." Aaron spoke in a calm tone."Aaron, is that you?" The tears rolled from her eyes in ecstasy at hearing his voice."Yes, I am, but are you crying right now?" Aaron asked her in a sad tone."What?" she asked and later realised that Hexa blew her eyes to jinx her fallen tears into the shape of sharp daggers over her head of A

Bella rescuedBack inside the room, Hexa watched her jump through the window and exhaled, saying, "Te compadezco.” (I pity you) and turning his head towards the bed. He burst into the room and threw Mrtyu into the bed.Mrtyu opened her eyes and found she was in the middle of some shattered sparkle. "This is what the place is like once the person is dead."She sat on the bed and was shocked to find Hexa in front of her. "Why are you here, too? Oh, yeah, I am dead, you are dead, and so I can see you."Hexa leaned over the wall and looked at her with his title head, "Encantado de conocerte de Nuevo viva."Mrtyu turned her face to her side and told herself, in a lower voice with smacked lips, "I wish I could use a language translator device."As Hexa could hear her, he translated for her, "Nice to meet you again, ALIVE." He emphasised the word "alive" to make her realise that she wasn’t dead yet.Mrtyu knitted her brows, "Again? Am I Still Alive? So I am not dead."She grunted, punching t

The cold moon rays deeply spread across the rooms of the Hotel Bluemoon. Liroza stood by the window, gazing over the fountain in the De Morte villas. Edan was sleeping on the bed when he woke suddenly. He touched his side to cuddle with Liroza when she was not found in their bed; Edan opened his eyes and searched for her.Edan found relief in finding her near the window. Liroza stood dazzling in the transparent cloth that hardly covered her naked body. Her beauty has been enhanced by the moon rays that sent lustful signals to Edan’s mind.Edan hopped from the bed and tottered over her to embrace her from behind. He twisted her blonde hair to the left, breathed her scent, and bit her earlobe to grab her attention to respond to him. He lowered his lips towards the crook of her neck with his flaming kisses.Her transparent fabric around her body appeared to be a disturbance to exhibit his hunger for her. His hand pulled the barrier of transparen
HEXA : MERCHANT OF DEMISE Chapter 33 - I pity you
The clock ticked half past midnight. The window was left open and the howling wind made the window screen move. A panting voice echoed around the room from an old man lying on his bed with disturbed sleep.He had a vision of a ferocious man with a big hammer hiding behind his back, standing behind a stoned man who was fuzzily rested on his antique red oxblood chesterfield wingback chair before the fireplace.The old man could see the wine bottle on the side table; the person was coping with his grief while the man with the hammer was spraying salt on the wounded heart of the coping man through his sinful words.Within a fraction of a second, the man with a hammer hit the man who was seated on his chesterfield chair hard. The blood of the dying man was splashed all over the walls, and the luxurious Saxony carpet was drenched in a pool of blood that flowed from the broken skull of the dying man.Like a ravening monster, his thirst for wanting

"Signorina (miss), the sun is shining brightly today; the master would kill me if you got browned." A young maid begged her lady to stay inside the walls to avoid the scorching sun."Then get murdered," says the young, gorgeous, emerald-eyed lady. "Sweltering and sweating will not deter me from going." With a singing tone, she said."Where to now, Signorina?" murmured the maid girl, concerned about her lady's wicked behaviour.The emerald-eyed girl hopped in joy, and she pulled the maid girl to whisper in her ear, with sparkles in her eyes, "Al mondo esterno" (To the outside world).She giggled and hopped to the sky-scraping walls after saying those words. Her maid kept on calling her, "Signorina, signorina-""Stop calling me Signorina," she told her without looking in her direction, busy pulling the descending climbers over the walls.The maid girl told her, with much hesitation, "I am not allowed to say your name.""Once we are in t
