Her eyes then saw the light rays move on the ground, and her eyes followed it towards a door of some kind. The purple rays moving around the door. She gasps out as she held up the end of the key closing one eye, and looking at the tree in the middle then at the door. It was the same. Well sort of. The door was part of a huge tree that was in the end of the room. A bright purple color admitted from it. She held the key down as she steps closer towards the huge tree, and the door. Her hand gripped the handle trying to open it, but it was locked.

"What...no!" She yelled as she kept on trying to open the door, but nothing. "How...wait." She then looks at the key in her hand, and places it in the keyhole.

She tried to turn it, but to no success. She then looks at the desk as she walks over tilting her head as she looks at the drawers, and open them. Just when she was about to give up her head went towards the middle drawer again. Opening it she then takes a pen that was in a cup, as she lowers it down, and opens the secret compartment.

"Yes!" She happily said opening the secret compartments.

Her eyes stared at the keys as she looks at them happily. Each one was different. Different sizes, different colors, and different shapes. Some of them had rectangles, some had ovals, and some had squares. Taking one in her hand she examined it. Twirling it around her hand. In the middle of the oval was some thorns, and what seemed like roses. A rose garden?
"

This one!" She excitedly said

She then ran over to the door, placing the key in, and it turns with a click. She then opens it. Warm sunlight hit her as she opens the door. Her eyes now staring at the beautiful Rose garden, and she jumps in place happily. Going in she looked around the Rose garden. Roses as the eye could see. Some fairies came wondering by, their glimmer moving towards her, and she followed them. Wondering where they were going to take her.

Her feet pattering on the grass she then follows them to a stream with a bridge, as she runs on the bridge, she stopped and looked down at the water.

"This place is amazing! I wonder why mom and dad didn't want me here." She said twirling around on the bridge.

The fairies went around Ashley as she looks at them.

"Would you like to play with me?" She asked them happily.

The fairies bounced as they giggled, and ran away again.

"Hey! Wait!" She said loudly as she ran towards them.

But as she went further down the pathway the pathway was staring to be all crumbled, and dusty. Like it hasn't been kept up for a while. But she was too busy following the fairies to notice, as she almost tripped on a lose stone. Losing her shoe she gasps out hoping on one foot to get it before looking down at the ground.

"What...?" She whispered as she looks down. "What happened to the pretty..." She heard a crash of thunder, and she looked up.

The sky was a deep red as she looked at it with horror as rain now started pattering down, but it wasn't normal rain. It splashed on her face as she wipes her nose, but found it to be blood. Her face turned white as snow as she the blood rain came harder covering her in blood as she screamed out, and tried to run towards a tree to get out of the rain. As she approached the tree she quickly placed her back towards the tree, and skid down it. Her whole body was now covered in blood as she grips her hair.

"What is going on?!" She yelled out.

As she looks at the blood rain, and then quickly looks down the road. If she can make it towards the door she was home free. She gathered all her courage, took a deep breath, and got up. She then started running in the blood rain, her shoes stepping in the blood puddles, and her breath became shaky. The world around her turning to nothing, but blood. Trying so hard to get to the door she finally saw the door. Running towards it she ran towards the door, and out into the main area. Quickly slamming it shut, and falls backwards. Panting she looked down at her dress, and her hair. Seeing the blood she quickly tried to brush it off.

"This is why we don't want you in here." A voice rang behind her.

She gasped looking up as she saw her mom, and dad. Her dad had black slick hair, glasses, and was waring a brown shirt and pants he also had a slight beard. The mother had a brown dress on, pants, and dark shoes. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she also wore glasses.

"What...was that?" Ashley said in a shaky voice.

"It's best that we finally explain it to you." Her dad said looking at her "But let's get you cleaned up."

<Horror>

It was a raining day more gloomy then anything as the rain pattered on the window, as Ashley spent the day wondering what to do. This was a huge house. But she was alone she always has been alone, and looking at the empty rooms that was in this house she always got sadden . Her mother, and father didn't have any other kids. So here she was all alone in this huge house. Sometimes she takes the lampshade off the lamp, and pretend that the shadow was another kid. She decided to step into the living room. Today she was waring a black, and red pocket-dot dress, and her black hair was tied in a red ribbon with black knee high socks and black shoes. The room was quite big with a huge piano in the middle, a huge fireplace with knickknacks on it including; a vulture skull, a rabbit skull, and a horse skull. There family was a big on taxidermy, but it always freaked her out. Seeing the skulls always made her grossed out. There was two big chairs by the fireplace, and a huge bear rug. She didn't like stepping on the bear rug.

"Why does mom, and dad do this stuff? Aren't they...grossed out by it?" She wondered to herself out loud as she looks at the skulls.

She then walks over, and gets on top of the huge chair as she was quite small being on the age of 10. Waving her legs over the edge she looks at the fireplace, before flopping on the chair now looking up the ceiling.

"I'm bored! What should I do?!" Ashley cried out to the ceiling as she then blinks for a moment.

She then got up and got off the chair, looking around she then decided to walk towards the piano, and ran her finger along the wood following the grain. She walks away from the piano, and followed towards the end of the room passing a huge mirror where she stared at herself. Her blue, and brown eyes staring back at her. Mother told her she had Heterochromia. Which means two eyes that were different colors.

"I wish I had normal eyes." She muttered as she walks away. "All the kids make fun of it." Saying that she then walks towards the archway leading out of the living room, and towards the hallway to the kitchen.

But she stopped; looking at the door to her right. A huge door that read "Private Study." she always wondered what was going on there, but she was never allowed in there? Why? She always wondered. Though she knew mom, and dad always kept the key in their room. One day she snuck in, and found the key on accident. Though she knew that they probably hid it somewhere else. But it did make her giggle over how furious they got, but she told herself she wouldn't do it...but she was bored. So she nodded her head in agreement of her own thought, and ran down the hallway past the kitchen, and ran up the stairs. When she got to their door she took a deep breath ,and out. Taking the knob she turns it, and the door opened with a little creak as she stepped in. Her head poked in as she looks around the room. Eyes peering into the room. Their room was quite big too as of all the rooms, and contained; a big bed, dresser, two desks, maps all scattered around, and a traveling trunk at the edge of the bed. They were out today usually on their rounds to look for more dead things. Perfect. She quietly went in, and closed the door.

"Alright if I was a key where would I be?" She asked placing her hands on her hips as she confidently looked around the room. "Hmm might try the traveling trunk?" She asked herself as she walks towards it.

But opening the trunk she saw different clothing items as she starts digging around, and nothing. So she decided on the dresser opening the button drawer, then the middle closing the middle she then steps on the button dresser drawer, and looks at the top one.

"Aha! Found you!" She excitedly said as she grabs it, but after she grabbed it she felt the dresser tip over and she quickly got off.

Closing the top dresser she held the key that had a tree with seemed like the limbs making a circle as she examines the key, and held it tightly. She went towards the door, opening it, and closing it behind her. Running down the hall she finally was going to find out what was behind that door. Going down the stairs she then ran past the living room, and stopped at the door. Placing the key in the keyhole she turns it with a click sound, and slowly opened the door. A burst of wind came towards her face moving her hair. She just pocked her head in and saw nothing but darkness as she gulps, and opens the door all the way.

"Woah..." She said holding her hands together as she looks down the stairs.

She then looks at the hallway, then at the key, nodding her head she couldn't back down now. Her hands gripped the key, and took it out. Moving forwards she pressed her hand against the wall, and went down the stairs. Her feet clacking on the stairs as she tried to embrace herself. Finally she reached the last step, and she stepped off. Squinting to find a light or something she presses her hand against the wall finding a light switch she clicks it on, but the light didn't come on. Strange. She then looks around the room. Moving her hand against the darkness until she felt the roughness of a desk which she then uses both hands to move around the desk. She finally found something hard, something...strange that she was now touching. Tapping it a light emitted from it which made Ashely jump, and gasp out of the sudden light. The three what seemed like crystals emitted a purple light as they hovered in the air. Stepping back the light got brighter as the light rays sprung up, and hit the chandler in the middle. Causing the whole room to admit a deep purple color. She looked at the chandler that was now shining.

"What the..." She whispered watching what was going on.
