Short Horror Stories

A Warning

A woman, let's say, Bella, was getting married in 2 days. She was sad and happy at the same time.

Sad because she will be leaving her home soon. Happy because she will be married to the love of her life soon.

So the day before the wedding, the man asked her for one last date, and she agreed. When she was preparing herself for her date, she noticed something in the mirror. No, nothing supernatural was happening in the mirror, it's just that her reflection was wearing a nonexistent wedding ring. She stopped putting on her make up, and the reflection did too. She leaned forward, and the reflection did too. It was then that she realized that the reflection's eyes were full of fear and worry.

She didn't understand what was happening to her reflection, it didn't seemed like a ghost or anything. Then, to her surprise, the reflection's mouth began moving, uttering a silent sentence, before everything went back to normal. She was scared, yes, but it didn't harm her, so she just put a cross necklace around her neck and she was ready for her date.

The man was wearing the clothes he wore on their first date, and it moved her. The man was smiling too much that day, but Bella thought it was because they were married tomorrow. They sat down on the fountain in the park when it was sundown. The park looked pretty deserted.

The clouds parted, and showed the starry sky. Bella was mesmerized by it. "Do you enjoy the date?" The man asked. Bella nodded with happiness, and all was well.

The next day was the wedding day. She was getting ready in the dressing room with several other beauticians, when suddenly the room became quiet, and she was alone with her reflection once again. The reflection leaned forward and uttered a single silent sentence again before turning back to normal.

"D-did you see that?" She wobbly asked a beautician. "See what?" The beautician asked. "Th-the reflection talked!" She said. The beautician laughed. "You're just nervous, babe." And they continued as if nothing happened.

All of her thoughts about the talking reflection was gone the moment she saw her husband-to-be. The man looked so handsome, standing there on the altar. When she reached the altar and the priest started talking bla bla bla, she was overflowing with happiness. Then came the ultimate question. "Do you, Bella Locke, accept Alex Storm, to be your wedded husband, in happiness and in sadness, in health and in sickness?" "I do." She said happily. Alex also said, "I do."

"Then you may now kiss the bride." The priest said, and Alex immediately kissed her. Now it was official that they're married.

10 years later...

Bella hoped she hadn't married Alex in the first place. Alex didn't love her, never was, and never will. He just wanted someone to torture, and that's where she come in. Bella was so innocent and trusting, and Alex immediately settled his eyes on her. And stupid Bella fell for his tricks.

She was putting make up on her face, because Alex always wanted her to be pretty before torturing her, and she couldn't disobeyed him. The strange reflection finally appeared again, after disappearing for 10 years. They both leaned in, and this time, Bella could actually hear what the reflection is saying, "Don't marry him, he's a psychopath." In a very soft whisper.

Maybe if she wasn't so in love with Alex 10 years ago, she could hear what her reflection is saying, and could avoid this.

That day's torture was way worse that the other days. He made her stripped and told her to lay down on the mattress, face down. He laughed at her and pulled out the cigarette from his mouth. He then pushed the cigarette onto her back with a psychopathic laugh. She screamed in pain, and he laughed more. Still, she couldn't do anything. He began to put more and more cigarette burns onto her back, when finally he had enough of the cigarettes. He went to get an iron and began to press the burning hot iron onto her back with a maniacal laugh. She screamed even more.

When he pulled away the iron, her back's skin was stuck to the iron, resulting in her skin also being pulled away. He cleaned the iron of her skin, and put the iron back into her wound.

The pain was so intense that she blacked out. When she came to again, Alex was lying on the floor, dead, with lots of knives stuck to his back. His jugular was also ripped. Realizing what she had done in her blind rage, she went to the bathroom and hung herself.

The police came to the house on that very same day. Some of them vomited at the gruesome sight, and when they found Bella, they were surprised to see that she was smiling peacefully.
