Hey guys! I made another chapter of my 1st fanfic ever! *echoes* What! I'm not even in a cave! Oh well, there's fanfiction for you. I just want to say this chapter is kinda cheesy or something. I don't have much of a wide vocabulary. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to all people reading it. Okay, time for the disclaimer, I do not own any of the SPM characters, just Sapphire and other OCs in the future. I am here to remind you where we left off, so let me see….. hmmm…. Oh yeah right! Mr. L asked Sapphire to follow him and…

(Edit)

Sapphire was pretty skeptical about Mr. L. I mean, who wouldn't?

Mask? Check. Weird moustache? Check. An even weirder name? Ugh, right again. Yup, suspicious. That's why she's ready to run if something bad happens.

He is kinda cute, but-Woah, woah, woah, woah. Hold up, did I just call him cute? Sapphire face-palmed mentally. Sapphire had only met him a few minutes ago, and now she has some crush on him?

"You alright there?" Mr. L called suddenly, interrupting her from her inner turmoil. "Your slowing down."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." Sapphire called, running a bit to catch up. There was a bit of silence before she continued, "So, where are you taking me?" Sapphire asked as if she were a prisoner.

"I know you're a bit skeptical about that, but you said you don't remember, right?" She nodded. "That means you have amnesia, and have no other place to go. And since you kinda became my responsibility, I have to take care of you." He said, not even looking at Sapphire.

"You do know that you could've just left me there so I'm not your responsibility anymore, right?" Sapphire asked, curious to know why he didn't just do that. "Because by doing this, I just became more of your responsibility."

"I know that, but my conscience will never let go." He sighed. "Ever since I got into this good business, I've started feeling emotions other than pride. Guilt, sorrow, the works." Sapphire raised an eyebrow. What did he mean by that? Now add another thing to the list of why I shouldn't trust him, him being mysterious, but the mask may have been part of it, huh?

Then a huge castle came to view. Sapphire was in awe by the magnificent castle. It was different from what she thought castles would look like. This one was black and white and had a gloomy feeling to it, but she raised an eyebrow at one part of the castle painted yellow. What's that about?

"Before you ask, yes, this is the place." Mr. L said, as though reading her thoughts. "This is where you'll stay until we find out who you are, and where you live, so we can send you off there!" She would've responded to Mr. L's enthusiasm of sending her out, but then one word caught her attention.

"We?" She asked.

"Yes, we." Mr. L sighed. "Apparently I don't live alone." Sapphire grew nervous. She was kind of shy, so she doesn't know how to respond with people she doesn't know. Before they got a chance to go in, a green girl (literally) with pigtails and a cute violet sundress came to view. Mr. L widened his eyes before pushing Sapphire to the side, her landing in a bunch of bushes. She groaned.

"What a gentleman..." She mumbled, blowing a leaf off her face.

"MR. L!" Mimi screamed, seeming extremely annoyed.

"What do you want this time?!" Mr. L snapped. He expected a short, undisturbed walk to the Count, but that must be too much to ask in this house of 'creative' individuals.

"Dimentio...stole my diary...AGAIN!" She exclaimed, glaring up at a few places just in case Dimentio were invisibly watching.

"Then why are you asking me to get it back?!"

"You're the only one left!"

While Sapphire had been watching Mr. L and that Mimi girl's 'conversation' with amusement, Dimentio had suddenly popped up beside her, scaring the guts out of her. She screamed and jumped up, revealing her cover. Mr. L widened his eyes and groaned while Mimi yelped, surprised.

"W-who is THAT?!" Mimi asked, freaked out.

"It seems that Mr. L has brought home a little friend." Dimentio said as he landed next to Sapphire, grabbing her hand and spinning her around. Mr. L furrowed his eyes, annoyed, and a little jealous.

"Mr. L, you kidnapped someone?!" Mimi exclaimed, shocked. "Ooh, the Count is going to be so mad!"

"First of all, I DID NOT kidnap her." Mr. L snapped, insanely annoyed.

"Yeah, I was dragged here..." Sapphire muttered.

"Don't get into this." Mr. L snapped, making her quiet. "Second, Dimentio, give me that diary." Mr. L said, getting the diary that Dimentio was previously reading and returned it to Mimi.

"Lastly, don't tell anyone else about this until I tell the Count, got it?" Mr. L snapped, his fist threateningly sparking green electricity, directed at mostly at Dimentio.

"You have my word." Dimentio said with his creepy smile. Mr. L nodded before sighing, gesturing Sapphire to follow. Sapphire shrugged before doing so.

"I like your dress." She said to Mimi, who smiled at her comment. Sapphire ran a little bit to catch up to Mr. L. "What was that about?" Mr. L furrowed his eyebrows.

"Those two are like very annoying children," Mr. L explained, sighing. "And they treat me as the school principal." Sapphire couldn't help but chuckle.

"You do know that that jester guy-"

"Dimentio."

"Dimentio, has a reason for stealing her diaries right?" Sapphire said with a smirk, making Mr. L tilt his head.

"Really?" Sapphire nodded.

"Yeah! I mean, it's just a theory, but I think Dimentio likes Mimi." Sapphire said, matter-of-factly, making Mr. L raise an eyebrow.

"How do you know that?" Sapphire rolled her eyes.

"Well, duh. Dimentio stealing Mimi's diary just a cry for attention. That's what boys usually do to girls they like." Sapphire said, before adding, "You should know, you're a boy yourself, right?" Sapphire said, but Mr. L just tilted his head. She sighed. Boys are so clueless.

It didn't take a while for them to reach their destination. Soon, they were in front of a massive door that was a melting point between dark and dull and colorful and lively. Sapphire opened her mouth to comment, but was interrupted by Mr. L.

"Don't ask." Was all he said before knocking on the door.

"What is it?! Snapped Count Bleck." There was a muffled voice of a woman scolding him before a she said clearer,

"What he means is, that you can come in." The door opened before Mr. L came in... "Oh, hello Mr. L, what might you want?" ...But then Sapphire came in, surprising the two.

"Who might you be?" Blumiere asked, curious.

"Her name's Sapphire, I found her earlier this day. She has a problem." Mr. L said before explaining to them everything. Blumiere had looked at Sapphire with eyes of pity and Timpani looked at her wi eyes of care and compassion. "So do you think she can stay?"

Timpani looked at Blumiere for permission. Blumiere sighed. Timpani had habit of doing what she can to help people as best she can, and don't get him wrong, he loved her for that, but sometimes she can get so stubborn even though she already knows it can't be done...

...But there is an extra room somewhere in the castle.

"Alright, she can stay here for a few days." Sapphire widened her eyes and did a small fist-pump. She turned to Mr. L, blushing a bit.

"Thanks...For everything."

So, how was it? I hope you liked and/or loved it! The next chapter might be posted tomorrow or so. (Philippine day) Anyway till then, wait patiently and review the kindest way you can.
