Chapter Text
vines wrapped around the bed, keeping the sleeping boy in place, the room was still dark even from the green light that was glowing from over the bed.
“ You can’t! The vines will grab you!”
“ oi listen to the kid! He’s your best chance of saving him! “
“….”
….
your probably wondering what is going on here, if you really want to know we’re going back in time.
[ 6 Months ago, November]
“ Yuu, there’s no need to worry I’m not gonna be gone long!” Epel said to the worried yuu, who right now was trying to tell Epel to stay.
Epel had decided that he needed the new carving knife that was being sold in the town that sits below Night Raven College, and he had a magic wheel too [ even though he took it without asking] He was going to get that carving knife!
“ Epel, That’s why I’m worried, your probably going to get hurt or something and no one is going to help you!” Yuu replied stepping up to Epel who was standing right next to the magic wheel.
It was around lunchtime so No one would notice a student was missing until after school, so Epel could leave and not be seen and then come back but unfortunately Yuu Found him before he could leave.
“ Yuu, for the last time, I’ll be fine!” Epel said while he was stepping on to the magic wheel “ just don’t tell Vil or rook okay?”
Yuu sighed and nodded, he took a step back and watched as Epel took off towards the gate that led to the town.
Yuu couldn’t Shake the bad feeling he had, he knew something bad was going to happen.
[ A hour later ]
Epel did it! He got the carving knife! And it was the last one too. He stepped out in to the sun as he began walking back to his magic wheel.
lucky no one had took the magic wheel while he was in the store, he didn’t want to lose this way back to school also this magic wheel wasn’t his to begin with.
Epel stepped on to the magic wheel and took off toward the school, he was nearing the end of the day so it was best that he got back as quickly as he could.
As he neared the school there was a straight Pathway that was lined with green trees, he took off on the path, picking up speed so he could get there quicker.
Suddenly he heard his phone ring, he let go of one handle, keeping his other hand steady and taking his phone out of his pocket and picking up the call.
it was from Yuu
“Hello?”
“ Hello?”
“ Epel! Did you get the carving knife?”
“ Yup! And I’m heading back now”
as Epel said that to Yuu, he looked up towards the school. He hadn’t have noticed when he picked up the phone but there was something wrong.
a green mist covered the school, it was thick but a very light color, he almost couldn’t see the school building from all the mist.
“ Hey Yuu?”
“ Yeah?”
“ do you see a green mist covering the school?”
“ No, Why?”
“ because- “
Suddenly, a woman in a white Floorlength ball dress that somehow didn’t touch the ground, and a mask that somehow looked WAY to much like the mirror in the school, showed up in the middle of the pathway.
“ WOMAN- LADY??? “ Epel yelled trying desperately to slow down to not hit the woman. “ MOVE!”
the woman didn’t step out of way in fact, the mask on her face had a happy expression, she opened her white gloved Arms in a inviting hug.
In a last ditch effort to not hit the white dress woman he tried to turn but unfortunately he turned to quickly and the bike gave up on him.
the bike flipped and Epel Flew off the bike as it flipped, he slid on the ground from the bike as it landed. He ended up a couple feet from the bike and a couple more feet from the woman.
Epel could feel the blood flowing from his body from cuts that he had gotten, he remembered that the blood would be visible if he went back to the school.
the woman slowly turned around to face Epel, she stood silently as she watched the blood come from epel.
the mask on her face went from happy to sad very slowly, she began walking towards epel.
epel at first thought that the woman would take the bike and leave him but when she walked past the bike, he knew that wasn’t the Case.
she stood next to the bleeding Epel for a second before crouching and taking Epel in her arms on the ground.
“Epel??”
Yuu’s voice from the phone Epel was still holding ring out on the quiet pathway, the woman’s face didn’t change as she quickly and quietly took the phone out of his hands and with super human strength, threw the phone into the trees.
with his phone gone and bike destroyed, Epel started to panic as the woman looked back down at him. She must have noticed that he was panicking because her mask went from sad to happy every quickly.
Epel’s head was covered in blood from the fall, but by some miracle No blood had gotten on the woman even though she was in complete white.
from the blood coming from his head and the silence, he began to grow tired. His eyes began to close as the white dress woman gave him one last smile.
—————————————————————
When Epel woke again it was night time, he was also back in his room in Pomefiore.
He sat up slowly and took in his surroundings slowly even though it was his room. Epel then remembered the woman, bike accident, and his lost phone all at once.
Epel couldn’t understand what had happened on the path, why was that woman there? How did she get on the pathway? He had so many questions.
Epel’s head began to hurt as he tried to answer the questions in his head, it was too much at that moment and he decided that he needed some water.
he slowly got up and began making his way towards the kitchen, he had taken notice at he was now covered in bandages and was now in his PJs.
He began walking down the Pomefiore hallway when he saw it. The huge mirror that stood near Vil’s room was glowing a bright white light.
Epel stopped in his tracks when he saw it, he didn’t know what to do about the glowing mirror. He thought of Knocking on vil’s door and asking him about the mirror for a moment.
Epel decided against it and began walking towards the mirror, his injuries didn’t hurt anymore and he was very awake even though it was night time.
Epel stood in front of the mirror, wondering what kind of magic the mirror was holding. He reached out to touch the white light before the woman that he saw appeared in the mirror before him.
The woman appearing definitely scared Epel, he stumbled back in freight as she looked at him from inside the mirror.
“ Who are you?” Epel asked quietly when he regained his thoughts “ who are you?”
the mirror lady only smiled As she beckoned him to come closer to her. Epel, who was now running on Pure adrenaline and confusion, Walked closer to the woman.
He stepped up to the mirror, the woman had disappeared and the mirror was covered in grey smoke. Epel gently placed his hand on the mirror, the mirror was cold and solid but something magical was happening.
Suddenly the mirror became like jello, he was able to push his hand into the mirror with ease. With pure confusion, he began pushing into the mirror, trying to step inside.
He closed his eyes, letting the cold jello like substance take ahold of him, he pushed into the mirror. The coldness ended as quickly as it started, he opened his eyes to a white corridor filled mirrors of all sizes.
Epel began walking down the hall, wondering why there was so many mirrors. The hall was quiet and calm as he walked, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was different about this place.
after walking that Felt like it took forever, he reached a door. Just like the corridor, the Door was a blinding white.
after hesitating for a moment he grabbed the doorhandle and opened the door slowly, Inside the room was more white.
it was a every plain white room that would make anyone bored if anyone saw the room.
The only interesting thing in the room with a pillar with a green orb, sitting on top of a purple pillow that stood out.
Enchanted by the mysterious objects, he began making his way towards the orb. But just as he reached out for the green orb, a voice called out to him.
“ Epel! Es-tu reveille?”
someone was speaking French to him, he knew it was rook but where was he?
epel looked around trying to figure out where the French voice came from, before a light shined and he woke up on the ground near the mirror with the vice standing over him.
“ Are you okay?” Rook, the vice House warden asked, Epel wondered why rook was out of bed.
“ Yeah…” Epel replied to rook, beginning to sit up before rook placed a hand on his head.
“ You don’t have a fever, that’s good” a smile appeared on rook’s face when he said that “ Now let’s get you back to bed “
Rook helped Epel up, also letting Epel lean on him for support when walking since he was still injured. Rook glanced back at the mirror as the walked, he didn’t trust the mirror, and he wanted to keep Epel far away from it.
—————————————————————
As the Night slowly began to recede to let the sun come out, the vice helped the first year get comfortable in his bed. After saying a another good night and the vice leaving, epel’s mind began to wonder.
he had so many questions that couldn’t be answered with the knowledge that he had, but he had school tomorrow and decided that he would ask around about everything that happened.
he drifted off into a peaceful sleep, all the worries left his mind as he slept, because the worries could be taken care of in time.
Right?
