Chapter 1
The night was peaceful and calm like the previous nights. The moon was glistening beautifully whilst the glimmering petite stars were scattering all around the dark sky. It was a bit eerie with the wind blowing slowly but it was such a perfect night to be enjoyed.
But not for everyone.
In the middle of a heavy and thick forest, there stood an old huge white mansion surrounded with golden rusty gate. With broken glass windows hanging on the white dull-coloured wall, various yet wilted type of flowers and rubbish and dirt scattered all along the old abandoned mansion making it looks creepier. People avoided their best from stepping anywhere near the empty mansion due to the rumors that it is haunted where some of the people live nearby heard some loud screams and sorrowful cries. But the rumors stopped circulating as the sounds dissapeared slowly as the days goes by. Thus, the existence of the mansion was no longer being spoken and being forgotten after that.
Unfortunately, behind any rumors there lies the truth. The truth that always been concealed by undetected lies.
Exactly under the white mansion, down the stairs was a basement with row of rooms. Among the rooms, there was a rooms with different appearances as it was chained and locked. The small window that allows one to peek was being closed too making it impossible to know what reside inside it. If people comes to see the room, they probably just assumed that whatever inside it was not important. Yes, not important at all.
Only if that was the case.
A young boy, probably aged around six or so stood barefoot in the middle of room. His dull and empty ruby hues stared the concrete wall emotionlessly. Messy crimson locks that almost covering his face making it's hard to know what's the boy's thought. What is he doing here all alone? Doesn't he feels cold with only clad in the thin dirty white singlet and torny short pants? Where's his parents? Why doesn't he feel scared or even crying when being in the empty and cold room? What is wrong with those scars and bruises?
Ah, who cares..?
The young boy clenched his fist before his pale lips parted a little. He began murmured under his breath, more like enchanting something unknown.
Not long after that, a glint of small light appeared from nowhere in front of the young boy. The light began to shine brighter and brighter replacing the total darkness in the room for a good few minutes, making the boy felt blinded. As the light slowly dissipated, suddenly another figured can be seen. There, stood a young maiden clad in luxurious black-coloured kimono. Her beautiful silky hair reached her slender waist. Her aquamarine pupils scanned her surrounding before directing it to the boy in front of her. She held the boy's cheeks with her pale and long fingers. Smiles decorated her flawless pale complexion before she began parted her plump-pink lips.
"Tell me your wish.".
