Chapter 3:The Dark Mansion

All I could see were the dark shapes of the trees and the shape of an old dark mansion.It was pitch dark outside and it was very chilly.I began shivering and guessed it was around midnight in this world.The cloaked figure that kidnapped me rushed me through the door,into a secret door behind one of the staircases,down another staircase,and into an abandoned room.The room looked empty except for a huge bookcase.The figure then grabbed a blue covered book with a yellow crystal star on it and pressed the crystal down.It triggereda lock behind the bookcase and within a minute,the bookcase vanished.A beautiful rainbow stainglass door appeared and opened.I looked at the figure with a childish questioning look,but he only pulled me and pushed me into the room."My master will meet you shortly,"the figure said before he disappeared into a black and purple portal.

I looked around the room and admired the blood red walls,the brown furniture,and the purple curtains on the balcony window."It's so pretty in here.."I said just before i heard someone come in."Welcome to my mansion,Savanna,"he said,"you may call me master if you please.""Thank you master,but why am i here and why'd that person kidnap me?"I asked him politely."You are an unique girl with the powers to see the past and future through any mirrored object,"the so called "master" told me."Okay,but I don't even know how to?"I asked him.He then gestured me to sit with him at the circular brown table in the middle of the room.The table had a purple cloth on it with a shiny blue orb.I sat down on one of the chairs and looked at the orb."Touch the orb and concentrate on an image or dream you once had,"he told me as I touched the orb and concentrated.

I saw an image with a small blonde haired boy crying at a funeral."Who is this and why is he crying?"I asked feeling sorry for this boy."His name is Van and he is crying because both his parents died 3 days ago from a strange disease.."he explained."If you stay,you will know why you see him in this orb,"he said."I will,"i childlishly agreed.After I said that he started humming something and i soon feel asleep.After 10 minutes,I woke up with pink streaks in my hair and no memory."Welcome to the F.O.D,Xafanna,"the master said as a cloaked figure from before appeared."Do what ever she asks you and be sure nothing happens to her,"he whispered into the figures ear.For the next couple of years,the cloaked figure no longer visited her and she stayed in the room.Her master ordered her to find out what the blonde boy,Van,was doing each day...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After 5 years had past,I became known as Xafanna the time witch.Today was the day that Van would come with seven of his friends.Hopefully,I pray that none of the others will be hurt in order to get Van on our side.We have already started the experiment on Kaori.It turned out fine,but we still have no idea what was instored for Van.I've had dreams of the future with Van's new identity as the keybearer of darkness.

Anyways,I sat at the table looking through the orb and saw that he was now coming into our diminsion.I had to go tell my master immediantly that he had arrived.So,I got up from my chair and began putting on my blue boot and my blue hooded cape.As I was getting ready to leave the room,someone appeared behing me and said,"where ya going,Xafy?"I replied and said,"I'm informing our master that Van has arrived,Tamx..."Tamx looked at me with his yellow and greenish eyes.He was wearing his usual black claok with the snake sybol zipper,his green boots,and he had his green hair perfectly brushed."Then may I assist you?"Tamx asked me."You may,"I said as he grabbed my hand and rushed me to our master's room.
