Chapter 3
Kei stared at his shirtless form at the mirror.
You shouldn't have come…
Voices called out deep inside him. Because of this, Kei leaned forward with his hand on the mirror and closed his eyes.
The voices eventually disappeared and Kei slowly opened his eyes to find another reflection.
It was THAT reflection again. Kei was frozen with fear. His eyes moved down to his hand, which was surprisingly being grasped by that reflection. When Kei finally returned to his senses, he took himself away from the mirror and stared at his hand.
"What was…" Kei whispered. When he turned back to the mirror, he saw his normal reflection again.
"I'm hallucinating. " Kei sighed as he brushed his hair up. Kei heavily exhaled as he removed his remaining clothes and took a bath.
" I need to find more about that woman."
Kei waited for the undeveloped film to be developed. He waited there, staring at the sink for a long time, disturbed by his thoughts. He took the film out, showing a place that was very familiar to him.
Could this place be inside the manor?
He sighed. Nothing good ever happens when he sleeps. He couldn't even get enough rest… But Mio and that woman… he laid the camera obscura on his desk and went to sleep.
Hour 3: The Right Path
Kei slowly opened his eyes to find himself lying on the wooden floor of the confinement room.
"This dream again…" Kei sighed as he slowly brought himself together and stood up. Glancing at the peeping hole on the floor, he froze, stunned by what he saw. The cage was no longer there! Where could it have gone? Kei picked up the pace and went out of the room.
He wants to know more…
What does she have to do with the manor?
Why does she appear in my dreams?
Why are all this happening…?
As soon as he went out of the attic, he heard a faint cry coming from behind the blinds.
"What is that…?" He slowly walked through the kimonos and took the camera obscura up. He saw a woman crying behind the blinds. To his nervousness, he pressed the button and took the shot. To his surprise, the woman was now infront of him, grabbing his shoulders. Kei nearly dropped the camera obscura, but he managed to run behind the kimonos.
Kei quickly changed his film into type zero and went out of his hiding place. SHE WAS GONE!
Kei brought the camera down and walked backwards, searching the room. The he saw pale, bloody hands holding him from behind. Kei moved away from her and quickly took the shot!
Kaname…
My Son…
The woman cried out as she vanished, leaving Kei an earring. Kei slowly picked the earring up, while flashbacks entered his mind.
A veiled woman running to the outer village, it was a dark starless night. She was carrying a child in her arms… She seems to be leaving the child in the outskirts of the village. The woman cried as she left the child with an earring.
Be strong….
Kaname….
It was over. Kei just stood there, staring at the earring on his palm.
"Kaname…. He was a forbidden child… " Kei said to himself. "Could Kaname be…" Kei stood there as he turned to the mirror which was showing a different reflection.
Brother…
Kei suddenly turned to the voice. It was that pacifier, Amane.
"amane?" Kei asked, Amane went through Kei, leading him to the Bell Hallway. As soon as she entered the hallway, Mio was running towards the Grave Courtyard!
"Wha… Mio!" Kei hurriedly followed after his niece, but when he reached the intersection between the four doors, he saw Amane walk past through the projector room. Ke's thoughts were confused.
If I follow Mio, I'll be able to save her…
If I follow Amane, I'll be able to know more about this Manor…
Before Kei could even move, he was taken back to reality.
Kei sat up, catching his breath, his mind a little fuzzy. Before anything else, he arched his back down due to the cold pain of the curse which reached his shoulders.
Mio…
Kei bit his lip, wondering how long he could endure the pain.
Amane…
TO BE CONTINUED…
