The Beginning of the End

Chapter 2: Dark Mirror
Young Treasure hummed as she made her doll skip through the playhouse. She really enjoyed her new dollhouse. It was a lot of fun.
The girl made her way through the castle and up to the large third floor hall. The doll then proceeded to skip down the hallway to her room.
Treasure smiled as she opened the door and then led the doll in. It looked just like her room. She opened the tiny closet door to find some tiny nightclothes for the doll. They were soon put on her. Her doll then promptly got into the tiny bed.
The Dai Kaioshin doll made his way up the stairs. Soon he was in Treasure's room. He tucked the Treasure doll into the bed then kissed her goodnight.
"Goodnight Treasure-chan."
"Goodnight papa-san."
Treasure sighed. She got up onto her feet slowly. Perhaps grandpa would tell her that story now. Yesterday she had gotten so involved with the house that she had forgotten about the story.
She started to turn around when something caught her eye. Treasure turned back to the house to see what it was. She looked in the windows of the fifth floor. There, in the hall, was a large, dark-tinted mirror.
*I don't remember that being there.*
She stared at it. She had never seen a mirror that's glass was black before. She gently reached out to cautiously touch it. She looked at herself in it.
"Weird.........I wonder........."
Without a second thought, Treasure headed up the stairs to get a better look at it. She ran up the spiral staircase, being careful as to not slip and fall down it like she had in the past. That had been rather painful.
When she finally arrived on the fifth floor, she stopped and looked around. She wasn't too familiar with this floor, there wasn't too much up here concerning her, so she barely ever came up here. To her left was the Dai Kaioshin's library. There were no children's books in there, just books that might help the Kaioshins and Kaios understand powers and planets.
To her right was the Meeting Hall. Her father held all meetings with the other Kaios up here. She peeked in. The round table was empty; the room was dark. She shut the door quickly.
Slowly, she started to walk down the dimly lit hallway. It was awfully quiet on the fifth floor. Treasure didn't like it. She liked to hear the hustle and bustle of the maids on the first floor and the cooks on the second. They were always interesting to watch.
However, there were none up here. It was oddly quiet indeed.
*I wonder if they ever come up here and clean.*
She stopped and looked at the pictures on the wall. There were paintings of past Dai Kaioshins hanging up on the wall. There were several. They all seemed to have the lavender skin and they all wore their hair in Mohawks.
*I wonder why they all look the same?*
It got darker as she got farther down the hallway. Her every step made a creaking noise. She then remembered that she should have turned on the lights before she came down here. She looked back. She had already traveled about half the hall. Oh well, she could do without the lights.
Step. Step. Step.
Instead of concentrating on how spooky the place was, she decided to just move forward, blanking her mind out. She could here her steps echo on the old tile floor.
Step. Step. Step.
It was getting colder as she got farther into the hallway.
*I suppose that the temperature controller doesn't work throughout the entire castle all too well.*
She looked around some more. There were cobwebs everywhere. The portraits were getting dustier the farther down she went.
*Papa-san must not come down here very often. He would have a fit about the mess. I wonder what's behind all of these doors.*
She reached for a cold metal doorknob. Slowly, she turned it, curiosity overriding her completely. The door slowly creaked open. Treasure peered inside.
There was an old desk and several papers scattered everywhere. It was rather dark and had a musty old scent to it.
Treasure entered. "Wow........."
*Does papa-san even know what's in all of these rooms?*
She walked behind the desk and plopped herself down on the seat. Dust flew everywhere, leaving her in a fit of sneezing for a few moments.
When she finally settled down, she took a few papers and blew the dust off of them. She looked at them.
*Woah, these are old documents of a past Kaioshin, perhaps from farther back than grandpa!*
"I'll have to tell papa-san about these! I hope he isn't mad that I was up here without telling anybody."
Treasure jumped off of the chair, then attempted to wipe the dust off of her butt. After a while, she continued down the hall.
Soon she could see a dim light coming from the end of the hall. That must be the end of it! Excited again to go and see the dark mirror, she quickly ran down the hall.
At the sight of the mirror she started to slow down. Unfortunately, she didn't see the hammer laying on the ground there. She tripped over it and slid into the wall. To be exact, she slid into the mirror.
"OWW!!!", she screamed as she felt her flesh cut open. She quickly got up as fast as she could.
She gazed down at her arm. There was a large gash down it; there was blood everywhere. She looked at the mirror. Her purple blood was dripping down it.
Having never cut herself this badly before, she panicked. She ran down the hall way as quickly as possible, leaving a trail of dark purple blood behind her.
Tears streaked her face as she quickly passed up all of the portraits and mystery doors. She was in such a hurry that she tripped again, this time rolling with momentum. She crashed down to the fourth floor, then started running down them to the third.
SMACK!!! She ran into another person and they both bounced down to the third floor.
"Treasure! How many times have I told you not to run down the stairs!" She heard her father say.
"Papa-san, I'm bleeding!" She exclaimed bluntly, holding out her arm that was still oozing with blood.
"OH DEAR UNIVERSE!!!", he said, staring wide eyed at the arm that was completely covered in blood.
"KIBITO!!!", he screamed, "KIBITO!!!"
When the man did not come immediately, he quickly shucked off his jacket, wadded it up, and pressed it to her arm.
"PAPA-SAN!!! IT HURTS!!!!!", she exclaimed, tears flowing freely from her eyes. She felt his one of his arms hug her while the other kept the coat pressed to her arm.
"Stay calm Treasure", she heard him say over and over.
She was starting to feel lightheaded. This could not be good. She could see her blood starting to seep through his jacket that was pressed on her arm. She shivered.
That was when Kibito finally showed up. He took one look at the arm and immediately went to work on it. She watched as it stopped bleeding and scarred up. The large scar soon dissipated into nothing, leaving her arm as it had been before.
Treasure just stared at her arm, still in shock of what had happened. She reached up and pulled her father into a hug, and she cried into his shoulder. This little event had been rather stressful on her and left some emotional pain for afterwards.
After a while, her father asked, "How did you do that Treasure-chan?"
"I-I tripped and cut myself on a mirror on the fifth floor."
There was a pause, then, "Don't go up there anymore Treasure. It's a bit dangerous. Especially the further down you go."
"Ok papa-san", she replied in total agreement, wiping some of the tears from her face, "Ok."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Did you like it? Please review. Thanks. Well, now we're getting started on the good part. I get scared of the idea every time I think about it, so maybe it will be a good horror fic. That or maybe I'm just a paranoid person scaring herself and only herself. Oh well, prepare for the worst in the next chapter. Until then.......
