Vivi pov
I woke up in the back of the van with an extreme headache. I moan as the van bumps up and down. I climb to the front of the van only to see Arthur at the wheel panicking. His left arm was gone and what remained was bleeding all over the place.

The van bumped up and down again and I passed out falling to the floor of the van.

I woke up again in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask over my mouth and nose. I say up and looked around. They didn't bother with an IV, but there was a heart monitor I was attached to.

About two minutes went by since I woke up, then a doctor came in. He saw that I was awake and smiled. "Glad you're alright miss."

He unhooked me from the heart monitor and removed the oxygen mask. "You're friend must've had some accident. He fell unconsious right after he drove up, because of all the blood he lost. Do you know what happened to his arm?" he asked me.

I thought hard, but I realized that I couldn't remember much of anything. "I don't seem to recall what happened. I don't even remember what we were doing in the van. Wait, where's Mystery?" I said. "I'm sorry m'am,but who's Mystery?" "My, dog."

He's not really a dog though,he just looks like one as his cover, he's really a kitsune, which is like a fox with multiple tails.

"I'm sorry m'am, but the hospital staff had to leave him in the van. This is a hospital after all, and we have to follow protocal" I sighed in relief knowing Mystery was ok.

"And Arthur?" I asked. "The boy? He'll be unconsious for a few more hours, but otherwise he'll be fine. It's only been a half hour or so since you two got here. Maybe you should go home and rest. Come back and check on him in 4 hours or so, he should be awake by then."

"Oh, alright."

1 week later
Arthur got out of the hospital today. They decided to keep him to make sure his new prosthetic, metal arm was functioning correctly, and there weren't any health problems to him having it.

We started driving around after Arthur was checked out of the hospital.

"Hey Arthur, can we talk?" He nodded yes. "About the night we went to the hospital... What happened before we drove to the hospital?"

I don't know why, but the question made him uncomfortable and nervous. "Um... What do you remember Vivi?" He shifted around in his seat uncomfortably.

I was getting a strange feeling, like he was trying to be shady. "That's the thing, I don't remember anything before the van ride to the hospital. What happened that made you loose your arm and me my memeries?"

"I'm sorry Vivi, I'm so sorry. I can't tell you. I-I just can't." It must have been terrible, whatever it was that happened, because he looked away in shame.

I sighed as a single tear rolled down my cheek. "Hey Arthur, I know this is kind of soon, you just getting out of the hospital and all, but maybe we could go check out this mansion. People say that it just suddenly apeared one day not to long ago. They think it might be haunted."

He sighed and looked down, then at me. "Anything to cheer you up Vivi."
