(fyi this is bout gabe))
The fat moon hanging overhead cast a dim glow along the streets, it's silver paint seeming to make everything seem mystical and glittering.
In the distance there was the howl of an animal, most likely one of the neighbors dogs, followed by the sound of a garbage top falling to the ground as an alleycat jumped upon its surface.
A mist was rolling in the town, it's sliver like that of a snake, creeping along the pavement and tree trunks until it covered the entire neighborhood.
And high up upon a hill, which had just moments before seemed vacant, a shimmering vision began to become clear. A great mass of brick and stone, it's formidable apperance enough to draw fear in any humans heart.
Which wouldn't happen, seeing as no human would be able to see the enchanted castle.
The eerie call of a raven sounded, seeming to signify the completion of the castle's apperance.

Crystal ran as fast as she could, panting so hard her lungs hurt. She could hear the hungry creature chasing after her, drooling and breathing regularly. She saw a castle in the distance, and confusion flickered for only seconds across her face before determination. She picked up her pace and ran faster, trying to outrun the creature.

A sudden breeze blew through the neighborhood, making leaves dance in a sprial of color and the strange scent of bazil filled the air.
Iron lamps suddenly appeared, creating a path to the castle, they're lights appearing one by one, as if saying Come this way, safety is here. And the dirt road below made way into a stone pathway, stretching up towards the castle's large double doors.
From within the shadows there was a soft laugh, seeming more disturbed than happy, and the flashing red eyes were seen before pulling back within the darkness.

Crystal picked up her pace in the light and let her mind flash to the creature behind her. It was thinking about tearing her apart and eating her. She let out a cry and stumbled once. The monster was on her quickly but a quick jab to the eye gave her the smallest moment of time to pick herself up and bolt up the path to the front of the castle. She banged on the door. "Help! Help! Help!"
There was a nasty slice down her side, and she was bleeding pretty severely.

The castle doors creeked open, creating an eerie noise that was enought to cause shivers to shoot down even the bravest man's spine.
A sudden wind howled, and the sound of crickets and owls fell silent, as if they were holding they're breath in exspectation.
((haha i don't wanna bring gabe out just yet))

((no worries. i've got to go pick up a friend of mine, so i'll be back in a little while))
Crystal stumbled inside and listened for what was chasing her. It had vanished.

(thats kull)
The castle doors slammed shut behind the girl, the leaves that had drifted in by the wind settling on the black marble floor of the castle.
The main room was very large, it's walls black as night, the only illumination the candles that were posted along the walls. Before the solitary guest there were two doors, one on her left and right; which also had stairs that climbed and circled to meet in the middle. At the center of the blood red carpeted staircase there was a statue.
A demon, it's horns spiraling towards the ceiling, and a woman kneeling before it in fear.
Behind the statue there stood a red door, leading into the unknown.

Crystal stood and held her bleeding side, walking through the red door. "Hello?"

The room was designed much like a chessboard. The floor was decorated in black and white squares and there were various metal statues sitting within the tiles; all matching the code of the game.
From behind one of the knights a small shadow hid, peeking around the corner with big blue eyes to take a look at the visitor.
"Ohh brother will be mad." The soft voice whispered to itself.

"Whose there?!" she asked, stumbling to the ground again. God, she was bleeding too much.

A blonde head popped out from behind the knight of armour, big blue eyes widening in suprise.
"Oh no, are you hurt?" The little girl said in a soft shocked voice, running out from behind the stature to the girls side.
She squatted down beside her, her pretty white lace dress getting soaked in blood. "Oh no. What do i do what do i do?" She muttered to herself, her eyes taking on a strange red glow.

Crystal tried to peer into the girl's mind, find out who she was and what was about to happen, but she was starting to black out. She closed her eyes and exhaled, waiting for shock to take over so she wouldn't feel the agony in her side any longer.

The small girls pulled her hesitant gaze away from the sight of blood, her eyes returning blue once again and called out as loudly as she could.
"Sabine!"
There was a shift in the air around them before a tall woman wearing black, who had a long white braid appeared.
"Yes, mi'Lady?" She asked in a blank tone.
The small girl stood, pulling on the womans black lace skirt and point to the injured girl. "She need's help."
Sabine stared down at the girl with ice blue eyes, her face exspressionless. "I don't think Mi'Lord would like that very much. Who is this girl, how did she come to be here?"
The small child huffed, stomping her feet in a fit. "Sabine! She's dieing! Once she's better I'll just send her back from whereever she came from and brother will never have to know."
Sabin let lose a sigh. "You know that's not possible Mi'Lady Fiona. But if it's what you wish then I shall have to obey your order, seeing as your brother is....preoccupied."
Fiona grinned, knowing that she had won the arguement and watched as Sabine bent to the bleeding girl, pressing her ivory white hands on her wound.
There was a moment of silence, and the air was filled with electricity. The next moment Sabine stood with another sigh.
"It is healed. She will still be a bit weak but she should be okay."
Fiona squeeled in glee and hugged Sabine tightly around the legs. "Oh thank you Sabine! Do you mind putting her in one of the guest rooms? I'm going to tell the cooks to make something for when she wakes."
Sabine sighed again but nodded, and kneeling picked up the unconcious girl.
"As you wish, Mi'Lady."

Crystal was in her dreamland, dreaming of hot dogs and rock 'n' roll and cotton candy shoes. She smiled in her sleep, rolling over in the guest bed and letting out a heavy sigh, and then bolting upright. "Huh!? Wh...Where am I?" she asked, looking around the room. She touched her side to find it healed completely.

The room was large and decorated in a deep purple, with pillowed elaboratly splayed around the room and cushioned chairs stacked high with them. There was a large wardrobe in the corner of the room and a floor legnth mirror on the opposite wall, it's outline in gold and silver swirls.
The floor legnth curtains the left side of the wall ruffled, signifying that the balcony window was open. Beyond the window the fat moon was high in the sky, illuminating a majestic forest as far as the eye could see.
