Mirror Of Death

𝓜𝓲𝓻𝓻𝓸𝓻 𝓞𝓯 𝓓𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓱

Soon enough in the college, Bela's mind was still back to that what happened earlier this morning. She just couldn't digest what she saw. That was too real to be seen as a lie or hallucination. Bela was totally convinced by it and couldn't move her mind from that. Chalk hitting her forehead makes her come out of her dreamy thoughts. She sees her hulk professor literally glaring her.
"Is the imagination getting too high Ms Sharma? Should we take a break to let you sleep and dream while sleeping rather than with your eyes open?" he asked her sarcastically.
"My sincere apologies Sir. I wasn't feeling that well so I was a bit drifted off. It won't happen again, I am really sorry," she said just to not get kicked out of the class.
"It better don't Ms Sharma. Else I will consider sending you to the dean's office and you can explain your daydreams to him." With that, he continued his class and Bela tried to focus on what he was saying, writing and explaining.

The class was soon done and the break arrived. After 90 minutes, a break happened of 15 minutes and this went on for all the further classes. Outside of the classroom, Yuvi and Vyom, her best friends joined her. Their fantasy connected them, their gender did not.
"What's up dreamer? Where are you lost since hulk's lesson?" Yuvi questioned her.
"I can't explain it since I can't understand it."
"Was the lesson so difficult?" Vyom enquired from her, "Do you need some tuitions from me?"
"You won't understand it. So, just leave me alone."

Her walking off with irritation surprised the two of them. They didn't know Bela as such a girl who could get irritated very soon. She was calm and rather nice to others. Surprised on her behaviour, they walk at her back and speed up for matching her pace.
"Ms Sharma, wait!" She didn't turn because she couldn't hear her professor's voice calling her out. Her whole mind was occupied by the thought of the blue eye inside the speculum and her mother's words. She could swear that the iris had the depth of space. Once again a grip on her shoulder made her come out from the thoughts she had. Bela turns around to find Yuvi.

"Can you stop getting lost each second? Sir is calling you," he said to her. Bela sees at her professor.
"I think we need to talk!" Vyom just drags her without anything second in talk. He didn't even care about the professor at their back. Vyom and Yuvi understood that Bela's behaviour is really serious. She's deeply disturbed by something that she can't talk out. How often they had faced this? They can't talk their heart out because their heart says magic, not science. They had no interest in the creatures which may destroy the whole world instead of making it up for humanity. Little did they know that those very creatures may play a big part in their best friend's life.

"Bela, what happened? You have been lost ever since this morning. Is everything fine? Did Aunty say something again to you?" Vyom enquired nonstop. Bela just sighs in response.
"Shoot!" Yuvi literally ordered her than requesting or asking.
"It's always the same guys. She thinks that I have gone mad. Actually earlier this morning…" Bela starts telling everything about the blue hole she saw.

Earlier this morning
Bela was seeing at her mother who was observing the mirror.
"Was it a blue one?" Bela's heart stopped at that moment. Did her mother know something about it?
"Y... Yes. Mom," Bela answers in an unsure voice.
"Do you know anything about it?"
"Yes, I know that my daughter certainly needs a psychiatrist," with anger in her voice, her face was Stern. "How many times do I have to tell you, Bela? Stop with this fantasy rubbish. That doesn't exist. Rather focus on your college. You have to pass it and become a successful scientist. That's where our future lies. You are having one of the best opportunities in this college but you are passing your time around with other useless shit. Do you know what this college is? What it means?"
"Mom, please. I have not been lying about it. It really was there." Her interruption got cut with an almost shout by her mother.
"Shut up Bela. There is nothing of that sort. Here is just a mere blue small dot. Keep your fantasy away and study. I want to see you on top of the positions and at that time you will be thankful to me. Now get ready. You have five minutes." Her mother stomps off the room, leaving her daughter in thoughts.
