Author's notes: This story is focused on Kei. I made this story because I feel sorry about Kaname and Reika's forbidden love. But in this story, I made Kei and my original character their connection... This is my first time to make a Fatal frame Fic, so please bear with me

Hoping for your kind reviews !

Hour 1: "This Dream Again"

It was cold, snow was falling, voices are everywhere…

Kei once more stepped forward into the mansion, holding the camera obscura and the flashlight with him.

"I'm coming, Mio…" Kei said as he moved forward through the Rope Hallway. Of course, fear lingers in his heart, if it wouldn't have been for Mio…He paused when he saw a different reflection of himself in the mirror. Instead of a brown jacket, it was wearing a blue, old-fashioned Kimono.

"Who…?" he whispered, as he was about to touch the mirror. He saw a crimson butterfly flutter by through the mirror.

"Mio?" he said as he followed the crimson butterfly, which led him towards the closet hallway.

" Mio!" He saw Mio ran towards the Bell hallway, but something seems to stop him. Someone…. Someone was calling him from above the stairs. He was thinking twice on what to do…. Follow Mio? Or follow the voice…?

Kei, unconsciously moved towards the stairs. And up the Kimono Room. As he entered the room with full caution, he held the camera obscura, close to him.

"There's something…" Kei muttered. Hiding behind the Kimonos, he quickly brought his camera up towards the mirror stand, but nothing was there. He walked towards the mirror.

"Why does my reflection show another person…?" he asked himself. .While looking at the mirror, he could see someone at the corner of his eye. His heart beating fast, he faced his fear and confronted it.

It was a little girl.

She seems to be doing nothing, just standing there, in front of him, wearing an old-fashioned Kimono. Kei was frozen on his place until she spoke.

Brother…

This way…

To the Priestess…

The little pacifier said as she pointed at the double doors at the end of the room.

Kei unconsciously moved forward.

Reika…

He whispered.

Save her…

Amane's parting words before she vanished. When he took the first step towards the room, he heard bells ringing. It seems that the sound was all over the room.

Sleep priestess, Lie in peace...

Sleep priestess, Lie in peace...

Faint voices of little girls singing as hammering sounds echoed through the room.

"Where... is this place?" Kei slowly stepped forward

If the priestess wakes from her dream...

Kei looked around the room, but saw nothing but complete darkness...

Perform the rite of stakes her limbs pinned tight...

"I'm going to be killed." Kei didn't think twice and immediately ran towards back the double doors for his life. But before he could open them...

Lest the doors open wide and suffering unleashed on all...

Bright Blue torches lit the room , which made Kei turn slowly to his back, only to see a wooden cage surrounded by crimson candles. Unconsciously, monochrome scenes entered his mind.

A woman in the cage reaching out to a man... but before they touched, the cage was brought down to a deep, dark area.

They didn't feel each other...

Kei unconsciously dropped his flashlight.

"Reika?" He whispered. He ran towards the cage to find a woman, wearing a white kimono and a blue hakama, fast unconscious on the cage floor.

"Rei-" he whispered as he slowly reached out and held her hand through the cage. As soon as they touched, the woman slowly opened her eyes and saw Kei.

Warm...

She glanced at his hand and gathered enough strength to hold back.

Reika...

Kei whispered while smiling. The woman eventually smiled, looking through his eyes.

The purifying lights died, and darkness spread throughout the room...

Kei froze as he heard footsteps approaching.

Why did that handmaiden led a man such as you to the Chamber of Thorns...

DO NOT enter the Chamber of Thorns...

You MUST NOT wake the priestess who lies asleep!

A voice angrily said.

Kei regained his senses and stood up, letting go of the woman. The woman stood and tried to reach out to him, but it was too late. The cage was lowered into darness... into the Abyss... Kei stood frozen, as the crimson candles went out, darkness blinding him.

The code must be followed...

Amane and her brother...

Kill them...!

Kei, overwhelmed by fear, quickly ran towards the double doors through the darkness...

Kill...

Kei sat up, panting on his bed. He was back to reality.

"What was... that dream? ... My reflection... Mio... and ... the priestess.." Kei asked. He suddenly felt could pain spreading on his back. "Aaargh..." he bent his back down and groaned in pain.

The curse was spreading...
