There are wonders that not even the world of twisted wonderland can explain, the first being the strange happenings in the ramshackle building, and the 7 new students which appear out of a carriage along with a mysterious cat, and more strange event...
It was silent, no one dared to speak; Cardia was clinging to her sister for dear life, Komi just looked down trying to remain calm, Sakura was shaking her head from side to side mumbling no repeatedly, Makoto and Shizuoka looked to each other they had a feeling something was wrong since coming here, but they didn't expect this, Nanami hugged herself shaking slightly, Yuri was frozen to her spot in the air her face held a smile but her eyes felt this fear. Crowley was just as confused as them, when a thought came into his head.
"Why don't we go to the library? We need to figure things out, and that is the best place for answers." Crowley suggested to the girls, they all weakly nodded not knowing what to do, they were still in shock. "Okay follow me."
The walk there was silence. As soon as they arrived, Crowley went to grab a book from a nearby shelf and left the girls standing there alone.
"What is going on?" Shizuoka looked at the group, in confusion and panic, one minute they were working, then it's somehow been 200 years!?
"200 years, what the hell happened?!" Yuri yelled out, her cheerful persona was gone for the time being.
"Correct me if i'm wrong, but do you guys remember anything from before this?" Nanami pondered, one arm down at her side, with the other hand on her cheek. The sleeve of her robe fell down, revealing her bare arm.
"Now that you mention it, what was the last thing you remember?" Sakura looked up to the others.
Komi spoke up first, "The last thing I remember is preparing breakfast with the other maids, but after that it's-"
"Nanami your arm?!!" Sakura exclaimed pointing to Nanami's arm that now had a long scar across it. It was incredibly deep, and one she didn't have before.

"What in the seven's, where did it come from?" Shizuoka walked over to Nanami, grabbing her arm, while inspecting this scar.
"What happened? I don't remember ever getting this." Nanami who was usually calm, had this look of panic on her face. They all stared at it shock, seriously they've been together for a couple of years and don't remember Nanami ever getting or having a scar on her arm before, especially one that deep.
"Wait I remember a voice." Komi spoke up trying to calm the group. "I remember this voice said something like 'do you want to trade for a new life' what do you think it means?" But before anyone could say anything more, Crowley came back in the room with a thick red leather bound book. Nanami covered her arm back up as Crowley opened it on a table for them to read.
"This is a book on the history of noble families in this world. The black lines represent marriage, while the red represents children. It stretches to the time before the Great Seven and if you see here, the Sawa family tree from 200 years ago," Crowley pointed to the Sawa family page.
"The last people in the Sawa family, are Sazazuka Sawa married to Akikio Sawa, they had one daughter together Cardia Sawa." Crowley looked at Cardia shock, "but if you see here two names are scratched out." Crowley pointed to the names that had been completely scratched out.

"And if you flick to this page; it's birth, death, and marriage. And if you look here" Crowley flipped to another part of the book showing them the page.

"Cardia, missing?!" Komi yelled out looking at the page. The rest of the girls looked in shock at this book.
"And again another two names crossed out, but the death and missing have just one line through it. If you flipped to this page, its old records on the families and here it says 'in xxxx-xxxx Cardia there only daughter went missing, the only thing left behind was a patch of blood and burn marks, the suspect was a servant-' and then it cuts off." Crowley closed the book with a loud thud.
"So what are you saying is, we came from the past, 200 years ago?!" Sakura who had been oddly quite spoke up, trying to wrap her head around this whole thing, she then looked to Crowley, "what are we going to do? We are living in the future, we have no clue how to go back, and your still here with your dumb mas--" Before Sakura could finish, Makoto covers her mouth so she doesn't offend the bird man more.
"Ahem looks like we need to figure out a way to help you but the mirror assigned you a dorm so that means your now part of this school, but we can't keep you in the dorm because since this is an all boys dorm we cant risk you staying there." The girls were shocked he passed by the main issue like it was nothing and moved on to something else, man he's good. "So I have an idea." that got their attention.
"There is an old building on campus it was once used as a dormitory in the past, so if you guys clean it up, you should at least be able to sleep there." They all look at Crowley thinking over their options. They then all looked at one another having a silent conversion in their minds about the pros and cons of this situation, then decided.
"Yes we'll take you up on that offer, we need to figure things out and this would be a huge help." Komi politely said to Crowley with her normal smile.
"Because I am so gracious, I shall help you get back to the past." Behind his back, he crossed his fingers.
"I generally think that is your catchphrase." Sakura shook her head from side to side and Crowley just smiled at her with a look that said 'yes and?'
"Anyway until you figure things out, you can stay there." Crowley decided that, since he is so gracious he shall help them, 'wow he does say that a lot' but he'll help... Even if he did feel sick helping a Sawa, well at least it's only one. "We had better be on our way. Let's head to the dormitory it may be a bit old but there is a certain charm to it." Crowley then guided them to an old building with many mysteries.
