A few minutes after eating that damned mushroom my eyesight had begun to blur and I was becoming increasingly dizzy with each step. Unfortunately my theory that nothing could seriously harm me in this dream was completely incorrect. The horrendous pain I was experiencing was proof of that. I saw a large tower in the distance and staggered towards it. It felt like I had been stumbling along the path for hours until I came to the building. I slumped down the ground a few meters from the entrance and loss consciousness.

When I awoke lying in a bed, I sat up and looked about the room. It was small and humble compared to my room at Blood's mansion. I was relieved that the horrific pain was replaced with a slight feeling of wooziness. "Hello?" I called out sitting up in the bed. I looked about the room and saw extremely handsome man with sitting at a desk tinkering with a clock.

"Hello…" I said shyly. "I'm so sorry for losing consciousness outside your house."

"It's quite alright. I'm used to strange things happening here." The man said with a sigh.

"My name is Bellatrix." I said getting out of the bed and walking over to his desk. "I just um… arrived, I guess, at Blood's mansion an hour or so ago and I made the mistake of eating the local delicacy." I explained.

"My name is Julius… Local delicacy, you say? What might that be?" The man questioned sipping his coffee.

"According to those damned twins, it's a poisonous mushroom." I said with a sigh.

"You may sit down." Julius said gesturing to a seat in front of his work table. "I'm surprised you survived. I'm sure you know that they were playing a trick on you."

"Yeah. The only reason I ate it was because one of them started crying and I thought that nothing in this dream could harm me." I admitted, admiring how elegant the man looked.

"A dream hm?"

I nodded. "It's curious though, usually when I become aware I'm in a dream I can manipulate it. However that doesn't work here." I

"Perhaps your previous world was the dream." Julius replied.

"Perhaps…" I looked at the window sleepily and I was shocked to see that it was night. "Night already? It was only midday a moment ago." I observed. Julius explained to me that the time of day changed randomly and didn't change according to what hour it was.

"Weird…" I muttered. "Well Julius, thank you so much for looking after me. I suppose I'll leave you to your dinner and head back to Blood's mansion." I said standing.

"Good bye Bellatrix." He said smoothly. With that I gave him a smile and left the tower.

I was becoming quite frightened as I walked back to the mansion. I was scared that there might be ferocious, otherworldly creatures hiding in the forest bordering the path. Before I knew it I was running back to the mafia's headquarters and quickly as I could.

"Looky, looky Dum the witch survived." Dee smirked.
"Aw how boring." His brother complained.

"Yes, yes how disappointing. Now let me in." I said irritably.

"Okay, okay witchy-poo, but only because the boss told us too." Dee jeered. They opened the gate and I walked through.

"Uh…Brother, you sound just like the loony Prime Minister." I heard Dum tease as I walked towards the massive house. I observed Mary Gleam hurrying towards me.

"Miss Bellatrix you've returned." She said happily. "I was beginning to worry you might of gotten lost on your walk. I saw you leaving earlier."

"Oh no, I'm fine. I did eat a poisonous mushroom though and ended up losing consciousness, but I'm alright now." I explained.

"Goodness!" She exclaimed. "Now come, come Miss Bellatrix. Blood has invited you to Dinner. You'll have to hurry and get ready, the meal's about to start." She took my arm and let me into the mansion.

"What do you mean get ready? I only have this dress." I said sadly.

"Oh ho! Well just wait and see." Mary said grinning.
