I saw as the fire engulfed the entire room, desks were burning, smoke was everywhere, and me? Well, I was waiting for my life to end. I didn't see how the fire started, but before I knew it, I ran for the fire exit, but the flames were fast, and they spread quickly. I kept running to find another exit, but they were all blocked by the fire. I soon ran downstairs to a storage room, were they stored extra desks, chairs, and whatnot. The fire had yet not spread down here, and plus there were no ways out, so I guessed there was nothing to do but wait for it all to end.

I began to black out, as I had inhaled too much smoke, and it was filling my lungs. I slowly closed my eyes, but before I fully closed them, a figure appeared before me.

He wore a long violet, and yellow poncho, and a hat of the same color. I couldn't see his face, mainly cause it was covered by a mask, one half of it was black, the other was white. His overall appearance made me suspect he was some sort of jester. He slowly approached me.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" He began to say to me. His voice was a bit high, but somewhat soothing at the same time, "A damsel in distress? A princess waiting to be rescued?"

Though I was on the verge of dying, I made an effort to fully open my eyes, and speak to him, "Who are you? What the heck are you doing here?" I tried yelling at him, but my voice was gruff thanks the smoke, strangely, it didn't seem to effect him.

"Me? Why I am the Master of Dimensions. The Pleasure of Crowds. I am, Dimentio," he held his arm to me.

Dimentio? Not a common name, but it was beautiful. I didn't move, but it appeared that he wanted me to.

"I'm trying to save your life here, if you didn't quite catch my hint," he said, somewhat sarcastically.

My vision started to get blurry as I slowly started to reach out for his hand, I looked up into his eyes, they seemed fixed on me, which gave me an uncomfortable feeling about him. I grabbed a hold of his hand, and he held onto it tightly, he lifted up his other hand, and smiled.

"And now, the show begins," he snapped his fingers, and before I knew it, I was teleported away.

I heard a voice, no, voices around me. I make out what they were saying, but I caught a few words, "Um…is she really the one?" "Yes, she is, exclaimed Count Bleck, Dimentio's report was very clear." The one? The one for what? I opened my eyes, everything was blurry at first, but I saw two figures standing over me. One was a woman with blue skin, and light magenta hair, she also wore pink tinted glasses so that I wouldn't see her eyes. The other was a tall, blue-skinned man with a top hat, and a cane, he wore a monocle over his left eye, and his right eye was a deep orange-red.

"Ah, she awakens, said Count Bleck," he said to me, in weird third person.

I looked around, and adjusted my glasses. I was in a dark room, no exaggeration, I mean it was dark, the only thing I could see were those two.

"W-Where am I? What is this place?" I questioned. I honestly was kind of scared, I mean getting whisked away by a jester to a dark place sound creepier than it is.

The blue-skinned man approached me "You, my dear, are in Castle Bleck, and you will apart of something truly amazing…told Count Bleck."

I looked at him confused, I was about to speak up when he spoke up before me.

"But, before we get any further, allow me to introduce myself. You may refer to me as Count Bleck, and you are?…asked Count Bleck."

"Um…I'm Isabelle," I spoke out almost softly.

"Uh, greetings Isabelle, I'm Nastasia," the woman spoke to me. I gave her a nod.

"Before we get anymore introductions, let me show you to your room, you'll have plenty of time to introduce yourself to the others later…said Count Bleck."

"Others?" I thought. There was more around here. I didn't have any time to respond before the Count started to leave the room, and I was following behind him.

A/N: Yep, I'm hopping on this bandwagon now :D. Don't blame me, I'm currently on hundreds of them XD. Not to worry, I'm still working on my other story Just Like You, but a writer has to spread her wings ya know?

It may sound like a story is forming here, and trust me one is. But after the next part, this story's chapters are probably going to turn into short drabbles, and what not. This is just to see how Isabelle ended up as one of Count Bleck's minions, and her meeting the other minions.

*sigh* I know this chapter is kinda suckish, but I just came home from swimming all day, and I'm almost out of it :p.
