The door had been closed, and there was no way out. The room was becoming more suffocating. Strange sounds were coming continuously from the mirror, as if someone was screaming for help. Sameera said tearfully, "We made a big mistake. We shouldn't have come here."
Rahul tried to turn on his flashlight, but its beam started flickering. Just then, a woman's face began to fully appear in the mirror. Her eyes were fixed on Rahul. She said in a deep, echoing voice, "You have awakened me. Now no one can leave here."
Arpit gathered his courage and approached the mirror to try and turn it over, but as soon as he touched it, he let out a scream. Burns appeared on his fingers. "This mirror is something strange, touching it is dangerous!" He stepped back trembling.
Nisha took out a prayer garland from her bag, which her grandmother had given her. She tried to wrap it around the mirror, but as soon as the garland touched the mirror, it burned to ashes. Everyone's breath halted in that moment.
Just then, strange words began to appear on the walls of the room. The words read:
"Those who confront me will be haunted by the fears of their past."
Reading this, Rahul's eyes widened with fear. An old incident began to echo in his mind. When he was a child, he had accidentally pushed his younger brother off the roof. The sorrow of his brother's death had haunted him to this day.
Suddenly, his brother began to appear in the mirror. He was reaching out for help. Rahul felt as if he was really there. He ran closer to the mirror, but as soon as he tried to touch him, his hand became covered in blood.
"This mirror is exploiting our greatest weaknesses and fears!" Nisha shouted. "We have to destroy it."
"But how?" Sameera asked, trembling.
Nisha looked around and saw an iron rod lying on a wooden table. She picked it up and struck the mirror with all her might. Instead of breaking, the mirror started to shine even brighter.
At that moment, a loud echo was heard in the room. The woman was now beginning to emerge from the mirror. Her hair was flying in the air, and her eyes were glowing like embers. She said, "Your efforts are futile. Now you all belong to me."
The atmosphere in the room grew even more terrifying. The four friends continued their efforts to destroy the mirror together. Then, Sameera remembered that she had heard from her grandmother that a circle of salt could be made to ward off ancient spirits.
"Quick, find some salt!" Sameera shouted.
Now the question is: Will they be able to create a salt circle in time to stop the soul? Or will this mirror trap their soul forever?
