When Mira had fallen asleep, she instead didn't find herself in the white abyss or even on the beach, she instead found herself in a place filled with snow. Surprisingly enough though, she didn't feel cold, not even in the slightest. Eventually she had realized she was in a forest, though she couldn't help but find it familiar, since she had almost sweared that she had been there before.
"Where… Where am I? Why is this forest… Familiar?"
She looked around in the snow storm and soon spotted something in the distance; she saw that it was house.
Curious to what the house was, she walked towards it, despite the wind blowing in her face. Eventually she had managed to reach it and found it was house made of wood, though it was surrounded by barbed wire fences, and wooden stakes. The house looked familiar to her; though she couldn't tell with the snow storm in all.
Just than a young girl; the odd eye girl at the convenience store had walked past her, with a bag of groceries.
"It's her again?"
She walked up the small steps and opened the door.
"Uncle, I'm home!" She heard the girl called out.
"Uncle?" Mira said to herself.
She walked towards the wooden house and got inside before the door closed shut. The room she had entered was dark and she couldn't tell if this was the same house that she had actually entered.
"It's so dark… I can't see anything."
She heard the girl call out again, "Uncle? Uncle where are you?"
Mira tried to look for the young girl, though because the room was filled with nothing but darkness, she couldn't see where the girl was or for that matter, where she was. "Hmm, I guess he must be in the basement again." She heard the girl say. Than she heard someone go down a flight of stairs; the girl went underground but to where?
Mira walked forward using her hands to see where she was going; that is until she felt an open doorway. Feeling her hand against the wall, she carefully went down the stairs. She soon heard what appeared to be a bell sound; It sounded like an elevator.
"Why would an elevator be in a basement?"
Mira continued to walk along the dark halls, and soon saw a light. She walked into the light and the doors had closed; Yup it was definitely an elevator. The elevator descended till it came to a sudden halt causing Mira to stumble. Like upstairs it was filled with nothing but darkness. The elevator doors opened and she stepped out; However it closed and the elevator had just vanished.
Using her hands to see again, she tried desperately to find a light switch. It wasn't long till she felt a bump on the wall; It was a switch!
With a flick the lights turned on, though the very minute she did, she jumped when saw the wall covered in ice. She backed up, but ended up slipping and she fell right on her behind; that's when she realized that the whole room was covered with ice.
"Is… Is this for real?"
Than, she was befuddled to hear a heartbeat. She turned around and saw in the middle of the large room, there was a small sphere the size of a tennis ball, though it appeared to be wrapped around in chains, that stuck to the floor; rattling of the chains, were heard as the heartbeat continued. Surrounding the chains were spears made of ice. She walked towards the small sphere; the heartbeat was faint, though it was one none the less.
She saw something on the sphere, there was a logo. She walked closer to the sphere, being careful not to touch the spears surrounding the chains. Squinting her eyes, she saw that it was-
"A rose?"
