Chapter 11 - Rooftop Encounter

Mrtyu bite her lower lips to control herself from uttering any words, the elevator door dinged open to the floor after a few seconds. Aaron escorted her to the room where Mrtyu had stopped him. "My room number is written in the key.  I can transport my belongings. Thank you for directing me to the correct floor..."Aaron came to a halt as she unlocked her room door, entered, and before closing it, remarked, "You don't have any memory of what happened last night?"Aaron nodded his head negatively, Mrtyu analysed something in her mind quickly and apologized to him, “Mr Aaron, sorry for throwing tantrum on you. Hope you will forgive me.”Mrtyu flung herself in the hotel bed after closing her door and attempted to remember what happened the night before. "No, not now," she thought to herself as the light rays streamed through the window and landed squarely on her face.She stepped nearer the window, bewildered by the view. She has seen four m

Chapter 12 - Hexa De Morte

Mrtyu again took the staircase to reach the dining area ignoring the elevator. On her reach of every floor, she admired the beauty of the Hotel Blue Moon.“This building is based on Greek and Roman architecture.” She soon picked her notepad in her sliding bag to take her notes.She stopped by every floor and wondered, “How did they build this each floor to look like... I am so confused and hats off for the architect.”She told to herself and stopped by the portrait of the masked man in standing posture. “This portrait is perfectly painted.”The nostrils of Mrtyu smelt the flavours of food and she scooted her legs to the dining area to feed her stomach.*****After everyone had fed their stomach, feeding for the brain started. As per the instructions taken from their colleagues, Mrtyu stayed back in the queue and was almost wandering lonely.Aaron gathered every student to the living area to address

Chapter 13 - King of Pranks

Aaron pleaded with extreme excitement, “Granddad, what do you think of her.”Mr Alex trotted with a direct question, “Is this the correct question to ask me since she is one of my students?”“Nah that is not what I mean. Nevertheless, I have to bring her to you for your blessings.”Mr Alex hid his smile inside his lips and pointed his index finger at Aaron. “You got guts to ask me, huh?” after a pause for a few seconds, he asked again, “Are you sure about her?”“Hmm, I can’t explain in words that how I feel when I first saw her. It was like… how to explain this old man about the feelings of your grandson?”“If you can’t do it, then drop this as you are in the initial phase. It won’t be harder for you.” Mr Alex said those words purposely to witness the reaction of his grandson.Aaron looked at Mrtyu who was taking snaps of the Hotel Bl

Chapter 14 - Victorian Villa

The second villa was the epitome of Victorian architecture. The entrance and interior were too stunning, with perfection visible in every corner. The portrait of Hexa De Morte, as in the first villa, welcomed everyone. Hexa is seated on a throne-like chair, with a magnificent king-like expression and his different porcelain mask over his face in this portrait. The three girls, Gnetol Raspberi, the redhead, Nadira WhiteShadow, the greenhead, and Acantha Neptunewings, the bluehead, crushed everyone and went to the front to gaze at the portrait. "Oh, this man is majestic," Gnetol gasped. Acantha, a blue-haired girl, agreed with her friend about the portrait, saying, "He looks appealing with the mask on. Hook!  Is there a portrait of him without the mask?" "I am worried," Host Hook said anxiously, he stopped as his eyeballs rotated from right to left and vice versa, "...there is none. Every villa has a painting of him wearing the mask. T

Chapter 15 - Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

“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.”Everyone

Chapter 16 - Domino Mask

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?”

Chapter 17 - Crinkled shirt, smudgy eyeliner

  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 squeezing her waist, she found it impossible to breathe. “I can touch him,” she said as her hand around his neck unwrapped slowly and her quivering fingers just reached his shoulder. Mrtyu gasped for

Chapter 18 - Trapped forever

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

Chapter 19 - TIXE: EXIT

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

Chapter 20 - The Exit World

“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
