Chapter 2
Behind the Door
As Sora and Tai entered through the door they noticed that there are plants every where and as they walked a little further into the room they noticed a spiral staircase leading down to the ground floor where more plants are. So they walked down the spiral staircase as they got to the bottom they both realized that this was the conservatory.
"This must be conservatory" Sora said to Tai.
"Yeah you're probably right, I mean look at all these plants" Tai said back to her.
"I wonder if anyone else is down here" Sora said.
"Well lets find out" Tai said.
So the two of them walked further into the conservatory and turned a corner and there was the elderly lady tending to the plants.
"Um…. Excuse me" Sora said to the elderly lady.
"What is it child" the elderly women responded.
"What are you doing down here" Sora asked.
"Tending to my dear brother Alan's plants" she answered.
"Where's Alan?" Sora asked.
"Poor old Alan is dead dear" She said sadly.
"Oh I'm sorry" Sora said apologetically.
"It's ok dear, if you don't mind me asking what are you guys doing down here" she asked.
"Oh well we're just looking around" Sora said.
"Well look as much as you like I'm not stopping you after all this Manor is very old and very interesting" She said to them.
"How is it interesting?" Tai asked.
"Well for one thing this place has quit the history with all the Takenouchi's that have lived here and also there are many secrets that lie in these walls" she said.
"What kind of secrets?" Tai asked.
"You know the usual kind, secret passage ways and stuff like that" she said
"Where's my aunt?" Sora asked.
"Well unfortunately she has not been very well and we all don't know why" She said.
"When did she start not being well" Sora asked.
"About three days after she moved in" She responded.
"That's weird" Tai said.
"And what's even stranger is that she won't tell anyone what's wrong" she said.
"That is strange" Sora said.
"Yes well run along now children" she said, so the two of them walked away from her.
"I wonder what's wrong with your aunt" Tai said to Sora.
"Me too" Sora said.
"Hey look at that" Tai said pointing to the weird fountain.
"There's know water in it" Sora said.
"Yeah and it looks like the well is dry" Tai said.
"Excuse me how come there's no water in the well" Sora asked.
"There hasn't been any water in that well since Alan died and I can't for the life of me figure out why" She responded.
"Thanks" Sora said.
"No problem dear" she said.
"So I wonder why there's know water in this well" Sora said.
"I don't know" Tai said "but I have a feeling that we're going to find out right" he said again.
"That's right, so lets go up stairs and see if we can't find the library" Sora said and grabbed Tai's hand and drug him back up the spiral staircase and through the big black door not letting him go for a second.
