''Why, what used to be up there?" she asked, curiosity piked to explore it now. ''If I get bored...Can I go up in there?" She asked, glancing at the door. Crystal smiled at Fiona.

Fiona turned back to the stairs. "I suppose Sabine would want me to tell you no, but..." She drew off with a frown, then swung around to Crystal, clasping her hands with teary eyes. "I think that you could really help! I just knew it the moment I saw you, and when you didn't run from everyone I think Jack knew it too!"

Crystal felt her eyes widened, mouth opening slightly. ''Wh- What are you talking about? How can I help with what?" she asked, wanting to hep, but still wasn't too sure what this place.

Fiona whipped at her tears with a sniffle, then grabbed onto Crystal's hand again. "Come on, let's go back to your room. Sabine will be comming back soon with dinner for us, okay?"

''Well, alright,'' she said, still looking confused and worried, but she was also a bit miffed. What was she supposed to be helping with? Crystal sighed to herself and let Fiona lead her back to her room.

Fiona nodded, a bit solemly, and then they made they're way back to the room.
Sabine appeared just a few minutes later, placing a large platter of food before them. Fiona picked amoung the food, taking a few bites before standing.
"I think I'm going to go to my room, okay? Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you here, I'll make sure of that."

Crystal nodded. ''Okay,'' she said and picked at a piece of food, smling at the taste of her food and watching little Fiona leave the room.

"What do you hope to gain, Mi'Lady, by telling the girl about the east wing?" Sabine asked in a toneless voice.
Fiona shrugged, a pout on her face. "I...I just want brother back."
Sabine dropped down to her knees, whipping at a tear that fell down the young girls face. "I'm sure wherever the master is, he is alright."
Fiona shook her head, sticking her thumb in her mouth. "But his face, he looks like he's so sad. You've seen him Sabine, you've been up there."
Sabine gathered the crying child in her arms, standing with her and walking down the hall. "Mi'Lady, I understand your pain, but you shouldn't be getting you hopes up for something that may not happen."
Fiona gave a pout and burried her face in Sabine's neck as they rounded a corner and dissapered.

Crystal got bored, and wasn't tired, so she ventured out of her room and made her way to the third corridor door. She stared up at it, wondering what was behind it that was so upsetting. Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open and walked inside.

The corridor was dark, the only glow comming from candles planted sparcly along the walls, they're wax having dripped down and hanging in an icicle like state. The wicks were short, and the flames flickered, as if hanging on despertly to light; as if they themselves were fearful of being left in the dark.
The hallway was painted a sheer white by cobwebs blocking the way, some so thick and large that it seemed almost impossible for a spider that large to abide within them.
The air was articly cold, dead. And the only sound was a soft howl of the wind, drifting from somewhere down the corridor.

Crystal shivered and walked forward, going around the webs to her best abilities. She ducked under them and twisted to avoid them, and squished any spiders she saw threatening to come too close for comfort.

The corridor was long and twisting, and it seemed that the deeper you traveled, there colder it became. A deep sense of forboding was made to fill any who ventured there, as if a trap, to ward off drifters.
Finally, at the end of the corridor there sat a door, it's knob crystaline bright. A silent ward seemed to ooze from it's wood, as if saying stay away.

Crystal shivered the further she went, but she kept going on until she got the end of the hall. She stared at the doorknob, inhaling deeply as if to convince herself she'd made it this far, may as well go all the way. She stepped forward very slowly and turned the knob, and then stepped inside.

The room was decorated for a king. With plush red velvet pilows and a large four poster bed, there was a large wardrobe in one corner, and candles littered every inch of the room. It was was strange to see, for just outside had been a world of horror and cobwebs, while inside all was fresh and clean.
Upon the floor, there seemed to be a candle lit path, which twisted around the room, to the far wall, where what looked like there stood a mirror, facing the window behind it.

Crystal followed the candle lit path to the far wall, looking between the mirror and window. "Well, this is weird," she said aloud and pushed at the mirror, trying to see what it was facing outside.
