Mysteryland

Chapter 1: Where they met

Year 1800, In Mysteryland

 The weather in Mysteryland are cold as usual. The higher classes are wearing expensive coat to keep themselves warm while the lower classes try to keep themselves warm with some low quality coat.

 "Isabella!" The little girl looked at her mother. "I want you to run and hide in the abandoned house that we passed by just now and wait for me there." her mother told her with panicked tone.

"Hurry up! The witch is there" shouted the people from behind. "Run!"her mother shouted to her. 

 Isabella run as fast as she could and hide inside the house like her mother told her. She waited and waited. It was almost night but her mother has not arrive yet.

At the same time

 Lord Xavier, Lord of the Mysteryland had received a news that happened in the Cursetown.

 After receiving, he quickly informed his butler to prepare his carriage to the Cursetown with some of his people.

 "What happened in Cursetown?" his second commander, Landon asked.

 "The town people had burnt a woman which was suspect to be a witch" Lord Xavier answered.

  After two hours journey, they finally had arrived Cursetown. Lord Xavier looked at the woman body which had been burnt alive.

 "What is in your mind, Naomi" asked Lord Xavier.

 "I don't think she is a witch. When a witch was burnt their nail will become long and black but here she looked normal after been burnt." Naomi answered.

 "Landon, informed them to have a proper buried for her." said Lord Xavier.

 "Yes Milord." Landon answered.

 After that, Lord Xavier decided to head back to the castle as there are lots of paperwork waiting for him.

 On their way back to the castle, Lord Xavier heard someone is crying. The sound was from the abandoned house. He decided to stop the carriage and went in to the house. He was smart enough to prepare a gun on his hand as he was afraid to be trick and attack by the witch.

 To his surprise, he saw a little girl sitting at the corner crying. He can't see her face properly as she was hiding her face while crying.

 "What are you doing here little one?" he asked as it was unusual for a kid to go out in the middle of the night. Furthermore, it was in cursetown. The little girl was shocked by his voice as she did not know someone was there. She looked up to see the face but she was attract by the red eyes.

 "Mu.......mummy hasn't arrive yet." she cried and ran toward the Lord who was shocked by her movement and cried loudly.

 Naomi was worried as the Lord hadn't showed up since he entered the abandoned house. She decided to go and check the Lord. When she entered the house, she was surprise that she saw a little girl was crying while hugging the Lord. Naomi had known the Lord for century that he is a cold and heartless man, he did not have sympathy for everyone. Even babies would cried when they go near to him. Here, she had witness something that was unusual that the little girl does not afraid of him.

 "I want.......mummy" she cried. "mu....mummy told me to hide here.........help.....help mummy.... someone ......chasing...mummy" she continue with her hiccups.

 Lord Xavier listened patiently.

 Little did he know, the woman that was burnt alive was her mother.
