Robin sat on a small cushion her shoes beside her. She
listened intently as the shop owner told her a story of his wife Miku.
He explained about her abilities and how she had lost her brother
to a house and a curse. The same curse she now wore around her
wrist. She looked at her wrist and rubbed it and thought of the
marks to soon appear if she did not help Danny. The way she
understood it was that she had to find where he died and seal the
gate that was letting the evil in before it consumed her. "No this
can't be happening to me it is impossible." She said rocking back
and forth. "Come now Robin-San you are a strong girl you can
beat this just like my little Miku did. You have a gift and a
responsibility." he added as if to invoke her sense of right and
wrong. Robin stood and stretched then hugged him. "You are right
I do have a gift that I have to use, even if it kills me." the owner
smiled at her as she left. "Just like my little Miku..."
Robin got into her car and sighed. "Danny I am going to help
you and save you no matter what it takes!" She said driving off to
the photo store to get stuff to make her own dark room.
When she got home she went to her closet and set up a dark
room and developed the pictures that she had took that repelled
Danny. She studied his face with careful intent. "I will save you
and stop this curse." She said stroking the picture. At her back she
felt a cold draft and thought it was him hearing her words.
She went to her computer and turned it on. She then pulled up
everything she could about Danny's death. The main thing was a
huge map. She traced the river and began looking at all the places
around that it could have happened. She got on the net and looked
at each of the places she found an old abandoned Japanese manor.
"That has to be it......" She stood and took some floor plans she
found and stuffed them in a messenger bag. Along with that in the
bag she took some money, the camera, film for it, her cell phone,
and some provisions that she knew she could live on. Chances
were she would get Scooby Dooed where she would get trapped
there until she solved the case.
She left her house and drove off to the house and looked
around a bit. "Man this is such bad news why do I have to have a
moral fiber?" she sighed as she made sure she had everything.
She walked in and sure enough when she tried to open the door
she was unable to leave. "Great, freaking great." she knew it
would happen so she was not as upset as she should have been.
She pulled her hoodie closer to her as a drift ran up her spine.
"We...are...here..." A voice on the none existent wind said.
