"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

The echoes of tomorrow by The1mperfectDiary
32 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where the future isn't written but echoed, 17-year-old Lila hears the whispers of events yet to happen - but they're not hers. The echo she's been hearing for months is someone else's life, someone's fate, and that someone is in danger. As she tries to uncover the identity of the person behind the mysterious echoes, Lila finds herself caught in a web of secrets, shadowy figures, and a powerful organization that will do anything to keep their plans hidden. Can she stop what's coming before it's too late, or will the echoes become her own fate? First Chapter (Excerpt): I've always heard things. It started when I was younger - whispers of something I couldn't see, couldn't understand. At first, it was just faint sounds, like voices drifting from another world. But by the time I was sixteen, those whispers turned into something more - echoes. Clear, distinct, and impossible to ignore. It's strange. Most people think the future is something that hasn't happened yet. But for me, it's not that simple. I hear the future. The thing is, the future I hear isn't mine. I've been hearing her - a girl I don't know, yet know everything about. Her life, her fears, her pain. I can't explain how, but I hear her voice every night, calling out for help. I don't know her name. I don't know her face. All I know is that something horrible is coming for her. And if I can't stop it... then her fate might echo into mine. Tonight, I hear her again. The echo sharpens, clearer than ever before. "Help me, Lila. It's happening. They're coming." The echo fades. And just like that, I'm left with a choice - follow the voice, or ignore it and risk the consequences. I don't know why it's me she's calling to, but I can't just do nothing. I owe it to her. And to myself.

Emily Brooks, seeking a fresh start, moves into a charming but old apartment. In the living room, she discovers an antique mirror, accompanied by a cryptic note: "The mirror shows what the eyes cannot." Initially dismissing it as a quirky piece of furniture, Emily soon experiences unsettling occurrences. Her reflection begins to act independently, displaying disturbing and eerie scenes not present in reality. Curious and alarmed, Emily learns from her elderly neighbor, Mrs. Hargrove, that the mirror was once owned by Lydia Darrow, a woman who vanished mysteriously years ago. The rumor is that Lydia was obsessed with the mirror, which is said to be cursed. Driven by a need for answers, Emily investigates Lydia's history and discovers hidden symbols on the mirror's frame that seem to suggest a dark, arcane connection. As the mirror's influence grows, Emily's reality distorts, revealing her deepest fears and regrets. Her confrontation with the mirror reveals a nightmarish alternate dimension where she encounters Lydia Darrow, now a spectral figure trapped within. Lydia's despairing message hints that Emily may be the next victim of the mirror's curse. Desperate to escape, Emily faces her own inner demons and finds the strength to break free. She returns to her reality, only to find the mirror calm and seemingly benign. However, as she prepares to leave the apartment, her reflection in the mirror gives a knowing smile and whispers, "It's not over." Emily leaves, but the mirror's eerie allure remains, hinting at its persistent, dark influence. The story concludes with lingering suspense about whether the mirror's malevolent force has truly been vanquished or if it is merely biding its time for another victim

In its reflection, she caught a glimpse of an enigma-an intricate duality that plagued her every waking moment. Two figures stared back at her, their eyes like windows into parallel worlds. On one side stood a woman, an embodiment of confidence and allure. Her piercing gaze held a mysterious spark-a glimmer of secrets yet to be revealed. The woman's lips curled into a beguiling smile, hinting at a hidden agenda. On the other side stood Sol, the real person concealed behind that woman's captivating facade. Sol's eyes, though clouded with uncertainty, harbored a flicker of determination and a desire to understand the enigmatic puzzle of her existence. The woman, a shadowy specter in her consciousness, held the key to secrets that Sol yearned to uncover.
