The noise of a pen writing quickly upon paper was the only sound coming from an elegant room in the Vongola's HQ. This room wasn't like any other, this room in particular was the most elegant and extravagant in the whole mansion.
The room I'm talking about is none other than Vongola Decimo's, Sawada Tsunayoshi office. Said Decimo was sitting in a large leather chair, while he worked on his mountains of paperwork that was set on his unique, antique desk.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was a now a tall, muscular but not overly muscular, brunet, with big doe eyes, handsome 26 year old man. He was finally finishing one of many piles of papers stacked on his desk when a knock sounded on his door.
"Come in Gokudera-kun." Said the brunet without even looking up. He knows it's him because his one of the only three people that knocks before entering a room that doesn't belong to them. The other two being Yamamoto and Chrome; it wasn't Yamamoto because his knock is harder and free, and it couldn't be Chrome because her knocks are very soft and barely audible. There's no need to say who the people that don't knock are. Those go without saying.
The mahogany door opened to reveal an already expected tall, lean, handsome silveret that's the same age as Tsuna.
"Sorry for interrupting your work, Juudaime." He said.
"It's all right. How can I help you?" Answered the brunet trying to reassure the other.
"It's the Velia Famiglia, Juudaime, there beginning to get hostile and just communicated to us that there backing out of our arrangement." Said Gokudera quickly.
Tsuna sighed.
It's been a year since the whole Byakuran incident and 6 months since Tsuna moved to Italy to officially take over Vongola as the boss. He had to deal with a lot of families, some were easy to convince to form an alliance with Vongola and some were definitely not. Guess which category the Velia Famiglia is in.
This Famiglia is by far the most paranoid one that Tsuna has encountered. They're convinced they only want to make an alliance to know there inner workings so they can strike them with precision and destroy them from the inside out. Tsuna has met with them 4 times this month only trying to coerce their boss in to the alliance, and those are only the times that they met in person. He lost count of how many times they reunited via video conference.
Let's just say Tsuna is getting tired of this little game.
"Are they putting up any conditions for their acceptance or are they bluntly denying to agreeing?" He asked.
"Bluntly denying to the alliance." Gokudera answered.
"I see. Are they on video conference?" He asked.
"No, Juudaime. They hung up as soon as they vocalized their decision." Gokudera answered.
"Alright, please contact them and tell them I wish to meet them via video conference. I'll take it in conference room two." He said.
"Yes Juudaime, right away." Gokudera said obediently, bowed and left the room to do as ordered.
Tsuna sighed once again and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath organized his finished paperwork and got up from his chair and walked to the door that led him to a long hallway covered with over 20 doors to his right, and to his left a few windows that let you see clearly the extensive green forest below. Tsuna kept walking down the hall heading towards the second floor and meanwhile passing two maids that bowed low at once as they noticed his presence.
He nodded their direction and kept on walking.
Tsuna turned his head towards one of the windows as he walked when suddenly an intense feeling hit him making him freeze mid-step.
He stared at the center of the forest where his eyes last were when this feeling arose.
It wasn't a normal feeling either people get from time to time that may or may not come true.
It was his Hyper Intuition it was trying to tell him that something is going to happen today in the forest.
Something big.
Tsuna knew his hyper intuition is never wrong, and there's no reason to believe it would be wrong this time either. So he decided to purposely pass by one of the guards that was patrolling the halls and told him to send some men to observe the forest and to report any out of the ordinary. The guard didn't even think twice about it before he ordered some men in to the forest as he was told.
Tsuna then continue his path to the conference room.
Meanwhile in another dimension…
A young 16 year old girl with light brown hair and sky blue eyes entered her house in London, England. Her name is Abbey Griffiths and she just came home from her 7th year in her school.
Hogwarts's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to be more precise.
She arrived at an empty house seeing as her parents were still out working and her grandmother the famous witch, Alice Griffiths was still out with her friends.
She put her owl cage down on the counter and headed up stairs with her luggage then she left her magic broom in the hallway while she went into her room. She set her luggage down on her bed and unpacked.
Then she went down stairs again to take care of her owl when a note with her name that was on the kitchen table caught her attention. She read it and realized it was from her mom.
It just said welcome back, to help clean the house a little bit because there will be guest coming over today, there's dinner for her in the fridge, to put the box that's in the living room in the attic and that she'll see her soon and that she loves her.
Abbey sighed.
She went around picking up things that were out of place and tidying up the house. Then she grabbed the box and headed to the attic to put it away. But then she remembered she left her broom in the middle of the hall and that her mom would get annoyed and will nag to her for a while about being neat and organized with her things. So with one hand she put the broom on the box and balanced it up the stairs to the addict because she knew she probably forget to put it away later if she didn't have it with her as soon as she was done with her task.
She opened the door to the attic and turned on the light, and as soon as she took three steps into the dim light room she tripped over one of the uneven floor boards sending the box and her broom flying across the room and knocking over a mountain of boxes that were stacked high. The mountain of course fell on Abbey who did a spectacular face plant into the ground and was lucky enough that none of the boxes had anything really heavy that would have actually hurt her.
She rubbed her aching head and back and then proceeded to pick up the boxes contents and shoving them in random boxes. After a few minutes there was only one box left and this box was apparently the only heavy one, and also the only one that didn't fall on her on the way down.
The box lay opened and at its entrance there was an old wooden treasure chest. And when I say old I mean like really old, my great grandparent's age old.
Abbey picked up the chest and opened noticing there was no lock on it.
'That's strange.' She thought.
Inside laid a beautiful white book with black edges but no title. One could tell it was not new from just one look at it. It had a magic lock on it. It seem the writer of this book wanted to protect its contents so much he/she put a spell on it so the lock couldn't be opened so easily by spells like Alohomora*.
Abbey ran her fingers on the white cover and something she didn't expect happened.
The books lock opened, it's as if her touch was the key to the lock. She shook her shock away and decided to open it. She read the first page and the words that were in Latin both intrigued and confused her.
"Qui dignus est aperire librum Zentha . Qui dignus est fide dignis Zentha quoque adscituram. Subigere incedimus vel metu, alii in lucem tenebras consumit . Postea factum est, vel cum virtute multa et scientiae redeat."
Abbey stared at the message a few more second and tried to makes head or tails of it, but wasn't able to so she moved on to the second page. The second page held spells, in fact all the pages did. It was an untitled book of spells.
'I wonder who it belongs to.' Thought Abbey to herself as she went through the pages, eyeing the spells. Some spells were familiar but different at the same time. It's as if someone took an already existent spell and added something to it. But mostly the wide book was filled with spells she never even heard of much less witnessed. They were either too advanced for her or they were made up by the witch or wizard that wrote this book. Did that mean it was one of her family members or were they just were holding it for someone?
Abbey decided to go back and read the first spell on the first page. She wasn't going to use it just in case it was dangerous but she was curious as to what it did. Maybe the name gave away its purpose right away?
Abbey looked at it and touched the gold ink it was written in as she read it in her head without motivation.
"Zentha iniziare." *
'Hum, why would a spell have the word 'begin' at the end of it? And that's the Zentha it mentioned before. I wonder- -
Her thought were interrupted as the book started to glow with a yellow light. Abbey gasped and dropped the book then she got up from her crouching position and walked backwards away from the mysteriously glowing book.
Her foot hit something, and when she looked down she saw it was her broom. She looked at the book and it seemed the yellow light only got brighter by the second and then the room got filled with a blinding yellow light.
Abbey didn't feel herself fall but she did feel herself lose consciousness slowly until she was swallowed by darkness.
Abbey woke up groggily in the middle of a forest without any memory of how she got here. She could feel herself start to panic as she looked around and only saw trees and plants all around when the last thing she remembered was going home and being in the attic with a strange glowing book. Then it hit her.
'The book. That's how I got here. And that spell must be a teleportation spell even though I didn't say it nor thought of a place when I did, it still activated.' She thought as she looked around and found not only the book a few feet away from her but her broom as well.
She got up and picked up the items then opened the book with the full intention of activating the spell this time on purpose to teleport back home, but a sudden noise caught her attention. It came from behind her and it sounded like human footsteps.
She quickly took her wand from her brown right boot where she keeps it when she isn't wearing her Gryffindor robe. She quietly used the reducio spell to shrink the book and put it in her pocket. Then took a defensive stance and pointed her wand to the direction the footsteps were coming from.
By now they were closer and clearer.
She could tell by the amount that there were at least two people coming her way.
She slowly backed away as to not make too much noise, but still kept her eyes at the front.
She stepped on a twig that made a loud snap as she was walking backwards.
She suddenly herd the footsteps go a whole lot faster. They were running now.
'Bloody hell.' She thought as she turned and ran seemingly nowhere besides from away from the people that were chasing her.
She couldn't run as fast as she normally could with her long flying broom in one hand but she wasn't going to leave it.
Out of nowhere three guys jumped in front of her, all wearing tuxedos and pointing guns at her.
She stopped and then she heard her pursuers stop behind her. She was surrounded, in an unknown destination and with no way to get back if this guys were present seeing as they were muggle s and Abbey can't use magic in front of them.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A man asked in what sounded like Italian to Abbey but she didn't know a word of Italian. She only knew English, Spanish and Sign language. She could only understand the words that were in Spanish that made up the Italian language.
"What Famiglia are you from?" Asked another man in Italian. And the only words she understood was family and what. Apparently they wanted to know what family she's from. That's not a normal thing to ask someone when they're pointing guns at them.
They talked to each other when they saw the unknown girl didn't answer anything.
"Who are you?" Asked the first man again but in a different language, trying out to see if she knew Chinese or maybe it was Japanese? She wasn't sure what it was.
"She doesn't seem to understand a word you're saying." Said a new deep but smooth voice.
Abbey looked to her right and she saw two men were coming out into the clearing they were in. One was wearing and identical tux just like the others but the one who apparently spoke was also wearing a tux but with a dark dress shirt, black tie, black fedora with an orange band, a chameleon on top of it and an orange pacifier? The man was tall, muscular, with curly side burns, small black eyes and handsome features.
He stared directly at Abbey.
"Who are you and why are you here?"Asked the man that just arrived in English.
To be continued…
Well there it is I hope you guys liked it so far.
*Translation:
'The one who is able to open this book is worthy of Zentha. The one who is worthy of Zentha is worthy of trust and power. He or she must travel and conquer the fear, and become the light to the darkness that consumes others. After this has been done he or she may return with great power and knowledge.
May God be with you…'
Here are the spells used for this chapter:
*Alohomora- spell that opens and unlocks doors. I don't know if it can be used for any kind of lock but yeah… moving on.
*Zentha iniziare- this is the only spell I'm going to be making up because from now on the rest will be all from the Harry Potter world. It basically is the made up name 'Zentha' and to begin as in like a command. So original, right?! (note sarcasm).
Anyways all spells will be either from the books, the movies, both or just from the games because they're spells that are made for the games only.
Please review if you wished for me to continue this story…
Until next time,
Girl in Blue
