[AquilaTempestas]

An unknown amount of time passes by...

The last thing you remember is a brilliant flash of white blinding light followed by a sore head before your world turned to total darkness.

You awaken, and a full moon shines down upon you, providing you a fine source of light. Your vision takes awhile to adjust, but you can eventually make out a few headstones around you. A pair of white owls fly past and towards a nearby oak tree.

There's also the scent of something rotten coming from within the cemetery that might be worth investigating. In addition, you hear some soft feminine singing coming from within, and she's soon joined by a girl's voice.

 

Go on in and investigate the source of the singing

 

[Sakura Alexia]

Cynthia sits up, slowly taking in her surroundings. Wasn't she in the mines? Why was she here? What was this place?

So many questions she had, at least she could try and find someone, the singing woman could help her, she hoped.

[AquilaTempestas]

You follow the sound of the voice and find yourself within the building.

...And find your grandmother and Jade washing a corpse of a young woman.

"May you find peace with the ancestors," your grandmother says, washing down the body.

jade hears you approaching and looks up. "Cynthia! You're finally awake!"

[Sakura Alexia]

Cynthia looks at the display not understanding, her grandmother was supposed to be asleep and Jade shouldn't even be here...

"What is going on?" she just asks.

[AquilaTempestas]

They both look at you with a frown.

"One of our witches cast a spell in the quarter... That is forbidden. The vampires found out and she was killed," Carolina explains, shaking her head sadly.

Jade rushes to your side and checks your forehead. "You don't have a temperature, but you don't look okay."

Carolina motions for you to come closer. "We had to run away, and you hurt yourself in the process. But we able to save you and bring you back. The body was delivered to us earlier today."

[Sakura Alexia]

Cynthia frowns even more.

"I don't... I don't remember any of this..."

[AquilaTempestas]

They still frown at you.

"You did take a rather nasty knock when you fell," Carolina says. "I am not surprised you don't remember."

Jade looks down at the corpse. "We are prisoners here. If we cast magic then we will end up dead." She then turns to you. "This is our life."

[Sakura Alexia]

She shakes her head.

"I don't know what is happening, I don't even know where I am, my memories... they are different"

[AquilaTempestas]

Carolina frowns.

"Are you sure you didn't have anything else? Did a vampire bite you?"

"Just relax, Cynthia. Everything will go back to normal. Maybe some vampire blood did get into your system but it will pass."

 

[Sakura Alexia]

"No vampire bit me, I just want to know where I am, I don't understand any of this" she shakes her head.

Just what even happened to her?

[AquilaTempestas]

They both still frown at you.

"Maybe we should have Cynthia checked by the Doctor? He could check her head. Make sure it is olay in there," Jade suggests.

Carolina nods. "Yes. That is an idea. Are you okay to walk?"

[Sakura Alexia]

"I'm fine... I think" she replies.

"I just don't understand anything that is happening"

[AquilaTempestas]

They still give you troubled looks

"The Doctor might be able to answer your questions. Even the vampires see value in keeping them alive. Come on. They live just outside the quarter."

Carolina leads the way out of the graveyard and across the grass. You can see some iron gates ahead.

But you do not go into the city. Instead, Carolina and Jade walk you across a green field and towards the back entrance of a golf course.

After sometime walking you reach a mansion. There is a big water fountain at the front. There is a statue of a big cat too in the centre.

The house itself is huge and is at least three storeys high with over twenty rooms. There are three highly expensive cars at the front too.

Carolina approaches the door and knocks. It swings open moments later. A woman looks at you and smiles.

"Carolina. Jade. Cynthia! Grandfather didn't say we were expecting visitors tonight. What is the occassion?"

"Hi, Daisy. My granddaughter hurt herself during the escape. She took a nasty head knock and now her memories are jumbled. Can the professor help?"

Daisy nods. "Come inside. I will get him. You just wait in the lounge with my brother." 

She takes you to the lounge then leaves. The living room is like a cinema room almost. Nice comfortable chairs and a large television screen with expensive audio equipment.

"Gary," Carolina starts.

He greets you all. "It's been awhile." He approaches you. "Cynthia. Gotta say this is a bit awkward. Last we meet you slapped me in the face and said you would never date me."

[Sakura Alexia]

This startles her even more, it is not the house Gary has and she knows it.

"I have never done such a thing"

[AquilaTempestas]

He frowns.

"Has it really been that long? It was only three months that you were here, Cynthia. I guess you tried hard to wipe it from your mind."

He then sighs.

"You said you could never date a psychic. But I get it. You know I would never invade your mind though, right?"

 

[Sakura Alexia]

"I know, but I don't remember that happening I'm sorry" she says looking around.

"I don't... I don't recognize anything of this place..."

[AquilaTempestas]

He frowns.

"... Are you sure you don't take drugs?"

"Grandfather is ready to see you now! The rest of you should wait out here. You know he doesn't like being interrupted."

"Good luck," Gary says.

You follow Daisy up a flight of stairs and towards the main office on the top floor.

Samuel Oak waits inside.  

"Well, in you go."

She waits outside.

"Cynthia, my pleasure," the elderly man says, gesturing for you to sit down. "Close the door behind you will you?"

[Sakura Alexia]

Cynthia doesn't say much, but does as she's told.

Still taking a look at her surroundings. She didn't remember any of this, last she remembered was killing Agatha, and then that light... it must have done something to her.

[AquilaTempestas]

"I'm going to check your mind. It might hurt a little, but do not fear."

He gently presses his hand against your forehead.

"What is the last thing you remember?"

[Sakura Alexia]

"Not much, just a blinding light, and when I woke up I was here" she says, purposefully keeping the fact she killed another person hidden.

[AquilaTempestas]

He frowns at you.

"A blinding light? That one is new to me. Very well. Look me have a look inside."

A sharp pain implodes in your mind. Your memories flood your thoughts, showing glimpses of the life you knew.

Moments pass and Samuel pulls his hand away, looking at you with wide eyes.

"...You have inherited the thoughts of another... you."

 

[Sakura Alexia]

Cynthia shook her head.

"I have not such thing, those are my memories, I know nothing of this place, heck maybe even of this world. I have never been here, whatever happens in here I never lived through it"

[AquilaTempestas]

"That is... fascinating."

He moves away and looks at one of his many notebooks. He flips open to a page and reads it to himself.

"Ah! Time dimension warp!" he says then puts the book down. "Of course! I didn't think it was possible but this has been researched before by a man called Charon at Galactic Corporations. He was aided by a man called Cyrus. They looked into matters of alternate realities. The white light. The dark energy I saw in your mind. Two magical energies clash and they create a rift. Now this doesn't always happen - it is a very rare chance of this happening actually. Less than one percent chance! God must be watching over you."

 

[Sakura Alexia]

Cynthia's eyes widen, shocked.

"So this... this is a completely different world from mine? And you're saying Arceus could have brought me here?" but why? For once they had actually managed to strike down someone important to Sabrina...
