Aya didn't know what to do about Maria, so she decided to leave her where she was. Aya stood and stepped into the door at the back of the room that Ogre had disappeared into.

As she swung open the door, what met her was…unbelievable.

At the end of the hallway of large glass tanks, lay her father, unconscious.

"Father!" Aya cried out. She rushed towards him until something appeared behind him.

She had wavy, strawberry blond hair that went down a little past her shoulders, she was wearing a blue and white dress and she had eyes the color of emeralds…

Aya widened her eyes. "M…Mom? Is that you?" She asked.

The woman looked very sad and dried blood was on the left breast of her dress. She noticed Aya and dragged him through the doors behind them.

"Wait!" Aya cried, falling down on her knees when they disappeared. Tears began to form in Aya's eyes. "W-was that mom? It had to have been her…this is part of the curse…right?" She said, doubtfully, standing back up and wiping her tears away.

"Haven't you noticed?" A familiar man's voice said behind her.

Aya turned around and spotted Ogre walking out from behind a glass tank. He knocked on the glass before continuing. "The tragedy was brought about by a woman's curse. The malice for your father…that malice turned itself into a curse seeking out your father's death.

"…Could that woman be-"

"You've finally realized. Yes…your mother."

"T-that can't be!" Aya shouted at Ogre.

" And why do you think that?" Ogre said, suddenly appearing behind her.

Aya spun around. "Because mom loved father!" She argued "…Mom even understood father's work. And father loved mom in return!"

Aya looked down. Wasn't mom…happy?

She looked back up angrily at Ogre. "I would never believe she has a grudge against father….but, maybe she didn't like father and Maria…" She turned back towards the door. "I don't want it to be true…but-" She began to open the door.

"So you'll go find the truth, then?" He asked.

Aya nodded and ventured through the door, closing it all the way before realizing she spotted another gem in the far corner.

She walked back in and grabbed it. When she walked back, a body in one of the glass tanks moved and put its hands on the glass, then didn't move anymore.

Aya stopped and stared, afraid it might move again and break out. But it didn't so she walked through the door again.

The room she came to had tables with covered bodies on every one of them. She tried to ignore them, but stopped when she spotted a blue haired head lying on the ground.

"Where is Body?" It asked Aya.

Aya widened her eyes in fear before deciding to help the corpse. She looked around, but couldn't identify the right one. She was walking away when she heard rustling of cloth behind her.

She looked and saw one of the bodies had fallen off the tables. She bent down and poked it before it got up and moved towards her. She ran, but then realized it must be the head's body.

She guided it towards him and was relieved when it found the head.

"Found it." It said as it stuck his head back on the neck.

He turned and looked at Aya gratefully. "Thanks Missus". It mumbled before disappearing and leaving behind a gem for Aya.

She smiled sweetly as she picked it up and placed it with the others.

She walked out into a small hallway that lead somewhere else and had another room. She ventured into the other room with the lamp in her hand and found the piece of ladder that was missing in the loft. "Ah!" She said with satisfaction. "I should put this up right away." She concluded, heading back to where she started.

She arrived in the loft room, placing the ladder and climbing up. She climbed to the top and began rummaging through boxes. Not long after, she realized there was some stuff in the pots, too. She got an idea.

She pushed one of the pots off the side of the loft and saw something fall out. "Bingo!" She cheered as she climbed back down the ladder.

When she saw it, she stopped and picked it up gingerly. "This is…" She began as she dusted off the mini chainsaw she now held.

She smiled and looked up. "Ah…how nostalgic…" She said. "I remember father scolding me for playing with this once…" She said wistfully as she remembered.

Aya was standing alone in the Inside Garden House, swinging the Mini Chainsaw around, giggling.

Father appeared in the doorway. "Aya!" He cried when he saw her. "What are you doing, swinging that thing around?!"

Aya was so startled she dropped the chainsaw and backed away. "I'm sorry…"

Her rushed over and hugged her. "This is no toy! It's a very dangerous tool!" He scolded. "Understood?" He asked as he knelt down. "Never play with something like this again!"

Aya looked down. "S-sorry Father…"

He looked over his glasses at her. "…I'm just glad you're not hurt…" He cooed. Father stood up. "Itisrather odd, though…" He began. "I thought I put this somewhere out of your reach…" He looked at her again. "Where on earth did you find this, Aya?"

Aya looked up at him. "…sorry father…" She apologized again.

The memory faded, leading Aya back to reality.

She smiled as she tucked it safely into her backpack and walked out and down the hallway. She actually smiled at the crow on the table in the hall.

She kept on smiling…until something grabbed her leg.

Aya tripped and fell to the floor. She looked behind her, but saw nothing. Did something grab my leg?!

She began to get dragged backwards. "No!" She screamed as she dug her fingernails into the carpet, trying to escape.

She finally succeeded in escaping and she ran into the lobby and took a breath. When she recovered, she straightened her posture and saw something shimmery catch her eye. She looked for the source and found that a gem was sitting by the front doors.

Oh no… She groaned inwardly. She cleared her throat and bolted towards the door, distracting the zombies and making them chase after her. She picked up the gem and zigzagged through the undead corpses, and dashed through the door to the East Hall.

She stopped for a moment to catch her breath and to calm down. I could've died if I didn't run like that…

She puffed before she finally relaxed enough to move on.

After a few minutes of wondering, she finally arrived back at the dark room where she found the ladder. She tensed up and pulled out her chainsaw. When she saw some barrels blocking a door, she cut through them without a problem and ventured through.

She found an old man corpse mumbling to himself. Aya only caught bits and pieces of his mumbling.

"…curse that…..doing every…says….and so deceived as to….true nature…..'s…going to create a…..She's even crazier than the Doctor!...Hmph. Well, why should I care, I suppose…."He said, not paying any mind to Aya.

She grew curious about what he had been ranting on about, but shook off the feeling and moved on. She went through a doorway the lead the roof of the house.

She walked to the edge, but couldn't see the bottom. I wonder if that's part of the curse too?

She walked towards an archway leading back inside and heard a faint sound. What is that? It sounds familiar…. She wondered as she walked towards the sound. It came from inside a locked chamber.

She knocked.

"I…I can't see…I can't see…can't see anything…" A small girl cried from the inside. "That man took away my eyes!" She cried out.

Aya almost felt like crying herself when she heard the girl continue to sniffle. "I have some eyes!" Aya called out. "No luck…she must not be able to hear me…"

Wait a minute! Aya realized. She's the one I heard in the fireplace when I was in the Reception Room! There must be some sort of connection with her chamber! Gotta see if I'm correct!

Aya nodded and was about to run back when she spotted another door. I wonder if it might lead back…

She walked through and found that she was in the storehouse. She found another door and unlocked it, finding that it did, indeed, lead back. She smiled, and walked back to the kitchen, finding out that the dog was nowhere to be found. Huh? Where'd it go?

Aya shook her head and arrived in the Reception Room. She got near the fire and listened. She heard the same sniffling sounds. Yes! But…how am I going to put the fire out?

Ah!I have a bucket I found it the Taxidermy room and the Inside Garden House has a pond! Perfect!She said in her head as she got water and poured it over the fire. When she the fire was out all the way, she crawled into the fireplace and uncovered a hole from where the sound was coming from. Bingo!

She grabbed the eyeball jar and dropped it down. She listened and heard it smash to the ground and the girl stop weeping.I hope that worked… Aya prayed as she made her way back. Aya took the short way through the storehouse. She arrived and heard the girl.

I found my eyes!She exclaimed as she popped them back into her eye sockets. She blinked a few times, unlocked the cell door. She walked out and looked around. I can see! I can see! She exclaimed over and over again joyfully.

She smiled and laughed before heading over to Aya. "Oh thank you! Thank you!" She said as she disappeared, leaving behind another gem.

Aya smiled and picked up the gem. She put it in her pocket and realized there was some sort of lever in the chamber. She pulled it down and felt satisfaction when she heard the doors creak open on the other part of the room.

She went through and found herself in a tight hallway. She walked down it and down the stairs. But when she got to the bottom, she was back at the beginning of the hallway. "Huh?! Didn't I just go down the stairs?" She said aloud.

She looked around her, then began to go into a panic after she kept looping back to the beginning of the hallway. Suddenly, she spotted a woman sitting in the corner. Was she there before? She asked herself before going over and looking at her.

The woman was very beautiful, with dark black hair and green eyes. She had a patients gown on and had bags under her eyes. She looked very sad and depressed.

"Are you the one keeping me from going ahead…?" Aya asked softly.

The woman nodded.

"…I need to go through here to save my father…so please…let me through…"

The woman looked at the ground, but said nothing.

Aya searched through her head for the answer. "What can I do to convince you?" Aya asked the lady gently. She widened her eyes and walked behind Aya, holding her sleeve.

"Huh?" Aya said as she walked back.

"Why are you following me?" She asked when they were out of the hallway.

The lady said nothing.

"Do you want to go outside?" Aya asked as she pointed to a doorway.

The woman nodded and her face lifted a little.

Aya smiled. "I see…follow me, then…I'll take you outside. Then let me through there, okay?"

The lady smiled weakly and nodded, following Aya as she walked through a doorway that led to the roof.

Suddenly the lady disappeared.

"Huh?" Aya said. "Where'd she go?...What does it matter….maybe I can get through there now…" She said as she walked back through the doorway. Suddenly, everything went dark.
