Dimentio, and I got back to the castle around sunset, well, it was sunset when we left Flipside. We didn't talk much on the way back, but I tried making some small talk, though he didn't respond much. As always, the castle was a dark, black place, with the only light coming from the violet/black sky.

As we entered the castle, Natasia, Mimi approached us, "What took you guys so long?" Mimi asked, crossing her arms.

"Yes, care to explain why it took you three hours to shop?" Natasia scowled.

Dimentio, and I exchanged a quick glance, than I gave him look that said "let me handle this", and he gave me a look that said, "good luck with that."

I took a quick glance at Natasia, and Mimi before speaking, "Well, there was a long line at the market, plus, it took us a while to find the items we were looking for," my voice was quivering a bit, and I was hoping that they weren't seeing through my lie.

Natasia, and Mimi exchanged a pair of looks. Mimi seemed to have bought the story, Natasia, not so much.

"Well, you see, it took us a while to find what we needed to buy," I said.

Natasia loosened her glare, and sighed, "Hard to blame ya, the market these days can be, uh, terrible, especially in this economy."

I side-glanced to Dimentio, who shrugged, guess he didn't know that Natasia was going to answer like that.

"Yeah," I continued, "sorry about this minor inconvenience."

Natasia waved her hand, brushing off my words, "It's okay, k?" I sighed in relief, and turned my gaze to Dimentio who smiled at me, and gave me a wink. Natasia started walking off down the hall, she called back to us, "I still need to finish making my rounds 'round the castle, you guys may retreat back to your rooms for some rest."

Mimi smiled at this, "That really sounds nice, I might take her off on that offer."

I giggled, "Same here, I've had a long day, so rest is definitely a great idea."

Dimentio walked up to me, "I'm sure you must be tired after the day you've had. Would you like it if I escorted you to you room?" And by escorted, I'm sure he meant "teleport".

I had to admit, even though I kind of already knew where my room was, I couldn't pass up the offer, "Sure, I don't mind," I said grabbing hold of his hand, and as always, he snapped him fingers, and teleported the both of us to my room. Something about my room seemed different. When I last left it, it was just another one of those black rooms, but now it seemed more…familiar. In fact, it looked a lot like my old room back at home.

A dark purple chandelier hung from the top of the ceiling, it's beautiful violet lights lit up the room in a light violet hue. A large blue canopy hung over my bed, and two beside table lamps were placed on both sides. Over at my desk were tons of art supplies, and my laptop, and to finish it all up, the room was carpeted with smooth violet carpeting.

Dimentio snickered behind me, "You seem surprised."

I turned to him, I had over a million things to say, but only one word came out, "How?"

He laughed softly, "Let me just say that I don't want you getting homesick."

My smile widened, I seriously didn't know what to say, but I only could say one thing, "Thanks, Dimentio."

He seemed somewhat surprised, probably because I actually used his real name, but he smiled, "You're most certainly welcome. You'd better get some sleep. Ciao," and with that, he teleported away.

After he left, I ran over my desk, and pulled out the journal.

X/XX/XXXX,

I must admit some things, so I should start off by writing about this place. Even though this place is magnificent, I can tell by feeling the energy here, that this place is hiding something, but I'm not too sure what. The people here are nice, but I can tell something about them seem off. The one question remains in my mind, is why does Bleck want to bring the end of all worlds? One thing is for certain, this castle, and its residents all have secrets, secrets that I'm certain have information, and info that I need to know. I'm not trying to be a creep or anything, just that if finding out secrets is the only way to know for certain what's going on, than I'm all for it.

I put my journal back inside my desk, and went to lay down in my bed. As I tried to fall asleep, another thing crawled into my mind, something that had almost slipped it. Earlier today, I was just about to die in a fire, and if wasn't for Dimentio, I would've perished in the flames. Something struck me as odd, it seemed to me that Dimentio may know more about me than he lets on. Also, I wondered what my family thinks now that I'm gone. I knew only one thing, Dimentio is going to receive a lot of question from me tomorrow.

A/N: Short chapter, but things are starting to get more interesting. Expect an update today, and on Christmas Day, think of it as a special present to all who read :D.
