Chapter 4 A Reflection Of Yourself

Brendan tries to enter a house that's to his left. He tries to open the door but it won't open. "Damn it. Wait, I can use the cleaver to break it open." Brendan takes out the cleaver from his bag and breaks the door open. "We can enter now." Brendan opens the door and enters the house. "Brr... It's so cold..." Brendan shivered. Nevertheless, he explores the house. There is another locked door. "Can't use the cleaver to break it open. This door is stronger." Brendan walked away and finds another door. Surprisingly, it's unlocked. Brendan enters but then the door shuts behind him. "What the heck?! Hey!" Brendan tries to open the door but to no avail. "Crap. I have to find another way out." Brendan looked around the room for a way out. Instead he finds a book.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived with her mother and father. Little did she have to eat and little did she have to sleep. Her mother always put her to work. One day her family became rich. The mother decided to abandon her child as she was neither needed nor wanted. One day the mother died, the father fell into grief. Now it was just a family of father and daughter. The little girl lived happily ever after.

The End

"Hehehe... Why don't we play a game?" Said a voice.

"What?! Who said that?!"
"Find who killed mother you have one minute. If you don't then I will lock you here forever."
"How should I know?! I don't know anything about your mother!" Brendan exclaimed.

"I'll give you a hint. It's someone you know very well and is here with you right now."
"(Someone who's here with me now? Riba is the only person with me though... But he's not here now. Wait... could she mean...) Is it... Alice?"
"...Correct. I will allow you to pass to the other side of town." Brendan heard a click and he goes back to the door. He opens it and leaves. "*Sigh* That was close." Brendan said breathing a sigh of relief. Brendan leave's the house and go to the next part of the town. Seemingly its foggier and colder. "Brr it's so cold..." Brendan shivered. "What really is this place anyway?" A spirit appears.

"Do you really want to know?" Brendan was surprised.

"Ah! You scared me!" Brendan said jumping.

"This is not a safe place to be in. There are evil spirits here that will bring you to death." The man said. Brendan seemed to recognise him.

"Aren't you that guy that went missing from Littleroot a few months ago?" Brendan asked.

"Indeed. I came here in search of answers. Instead I got death. And unfortunately, since I died here, I'm trapped here." The spirit said sadly.

"Trapped?"

"If you die around this cursed area, your soul will be trapped here for all eternity." The man explained. "Here take these." The man hands Brendan a pair of contact lenses. Brendan looked confused.

"Contact lenses? I don't need these. I can see just fine."

"These aren't regular contact lenses. Just put them put them on." The spirit said. Brendan puts on the lenses. "What do you see now?" The spirit asked. Brendan looked at him for a moment.

"You're... blue."

"These lenses will help you distinguish between good and evil spirits. Red spirits are evil and blue spirits are good. Under some circumstances a blue spirit can turn red." The spirit explained.

"Why are you helping me?" Brendan asked curiously.

"You see... If you make it out you can tell my family that I am gone."
"Oh... In that case I'll tell them." Brendan promised.

"Thank you. There is an exit up at the Evangeline church. However, there is a barrier blocking. To break it you will need three powerful artefacts. Now go, take care. Don't end up like I did." The spirit said departing with a smile. Brendan returned the smile while saying...

"Thank you." Brendan pressed on to a house where all around him where mirrors. Suddenly the boy from before that looks like him appears.

"What does your reflection mean to you?" The boy asked. "One of your reflections here is different. Find it."
"(It's him again. I better be careful.)" Brendan thought. Brendan walked about all the mirrors however one of his reflections looked different. "It's you!" Said Brendan. Suddenly everything turned black and then Brendan is in another location. Now the boy who looked like Brendan was standing in front of Brendan. "Who are you? Why do you look like me?! Answer me!"

"At the end of this maze there's a gift." The boy said. "Find it and you can work everything out yourself. Don't disappoint me more than you already have." The boy said coldly.

"I should move as slowly as possible. Huh? Where did that boy go?" Brendan moves through the puzzle. On the way he finds a Memory Fragment. Obtained Memory Fragment 3.

"What do you mean we have to get out?!" A woman exclaimed.

"This home was reserved for a special family. The contract was if they came back you must leave." The soldier explained.

"But we barely have anything. What will we do?"
"I'm sorry but this is Breynald's orders."
"Breynald? Whoever this Breynald is I will make him pay." Alice vowed

"Alice was being evicted..." Brendan presses on to the very end of the maze and finds a key with a name tag that says 'Breynald' on it. "Breynald...? Why is that name familiar...?" Brendan suddenly feels a flush of images into his head. "Breynald... Breynald... Breynald... I can hear screams. What is this? A vision of the past?"
"Breynald! I... ill...re...enge!...Our...ext...ife!"
"Ah! I-I can't stay! This place will engulf my sanity! I just need to calm down and leave." Brendan exits the house clenching his head.
