“Why does my head hurt so much?” Aria who’s holding her head while trying to get up. Her eyes are blinking because of the light around her, everything was white, the floor, roof and the walls. “Where is this? I bet Pluto’s waiting for me at the hospital, where am I?! I need to go there right now” Aria who tried to get up, fell down again on her knees. She didn’t care about that and started crawling till her hands touched the wall. Aria was starting to tear up, her eyes started to get moist and she wanted to just yell and cry everything out. But she didn’t, she knew she had to stay calm, Pluto always said: [Even if it’s horrible, you need to stay calm. It’s the best way to figure out your next move]. Pluto’s words came to her mind and she finally managed to keep her calm and she leaned on the wall while thinking about where she was, how to get out, where Pluto was, if Pluto was missing her and if Pluto was still waiting for her at the hospital entrance, waiting for her to pick him up. Even after how hard she tried, tears came out from her eyes, Aria used her hands to cover her face and she silently sobbed.
Not long after, at the opposite of the wall she was leaning at; a portion of the wall opened, like a door. Out from the door, a middle-aged man came walking in, a blond man wearing a black suit. [Hello, seems like you’re awake! That’s good. My name is David, don’t worry I won’t hurt you] David which was grinning tried to comfort Aria. Aria looked up and staring at David, her face was full of tears which was running down on her white skin. Aria managed to calm down a little and probed [Where am I?] not long after, a growl came from her stomach, Aria looked down again and started crying. [Oh I’m sorry! Of course you’re hungry! Just wait here and I’ll bring something for you to eat] David had a understanding look and went out the door again, not even half a minute he came back walking in with a plate filled with pancakes and syrup, in his other hand he held a knife and a fork.
[Well, don’t worry and just eat till you’re full] David placed the plate on the ground before stepping back a few steps and sat down on the bed. Aria managed to sense her body again and reached out to the plate. She carefully looked at the man and hurriedly picked the knife and fork and ate, she felt like she hasn’t eaten for a couple of days. Not long after, everything on the plate was empty and she leaned on the wall again. [Well, you seem full now, don’t you?] David asked and to that question, Aria nodded before seemingly remembering that he was also in the room. [Where am I? Where is this?] Aria carefully asked so that she wouldn’t make that person in front of her angry. David was grinning and said [Didn’t I say that I would take you to a fun place? Aren’t we having fun?]
[Where’s Pluto?] Aria asked when she heard that David answered her. She didn’t think that this game was funny at all. She was very scared, but she had to keep herself calm and ask everything she possible can think of right now. [Pluto? Why don’t we go and look right now?] David had a glint in his eyes and he was holding back his grin the best he could, but even after trying this hard, he still let out a small grin. Aria who say the person grinning had a bad feeling. David stood up from the bed and signalised Aria to stand up too, Aria managed to stand up steadily and walked behind David. They walked outside the white room, what was outside the white room was a white corridor, it was truly strange. Aria was just walking behind David, David opened a door before entering, Aria carefully thought for a few seconds before she also entered.
Inside the room, it was normal. It had grey walls, stools, tables and even carpets on the ground. But, on the other side of the room was a mirror. When Aria walked inside and saw what was behind that mirror, she became shocked, her legs failed her and she dropped down on her knees. Tears were running down on Aria’s face while looking behind that mirror, her mind was breaking apart and she couldn’t even say one word. She felt like she was in a nightmare and she only wanted to wake up.
Behind that mirror; was a white room, in the middle of that room; Pluto was chained, all of his limbs was chained to each side of the room and he was floating in the air. Pluto’s silver hair was ruffed and his face was full of tears. Pluto was roaring out like a mad man [You!! Come back here right now!! AHHHH!!!! You’re not allowed to do anything to her!! I will kill you!! I will rip you apart!! You bastard!!] Pluto’s voice was loud and even if it was getting coarser, he roared with all his might.
A few minutes earlier
[Waky waky Pluto, it’s time to wake up] David was standing in front of Pluto and tried to wake him up. “Huh? Did I lose conscious again?” [Where am I?] Pluto who looked around, felt weird. He was feeling pain on his limbs, he tried glancing on his arm and found out that it was chained and floating, he looked down on his legs and found out they weren’t on the ground but floating and chained too! He finally looked up to the man David which was grinning. [You’re finally awake! But, sorry to inform you, it was a little too late, sigh] David was sighing when he told Pluto that. “Late for what?” Pluto was wondering and wanted to ask. [Late for what you’re wondering about, yes?] David was grinning again before he continued [I wanted to play with you, but you seemed to take way too long. So I’m just going out of here and find your little sister, she should be awake and waiting for me right now] David was grinning and looking at Pluto when he said that.

“Aria?!” [Wait! You can see that I’m awake now! I’ll play any games you want! Anything at all!!] Pluto was yelling out when he figured out what David wanted to do. [But sorry, it’s late. I will be going to have some fun with Aria right now, haha] David was laughing like a maniac before turning around and moving to the open door. [Wait!! Get back here!! Don’t you dare do anything to her, I’ll do anything! You bastard, I’ll kill you if you do something to her! Don’t you even dare to play a game with me?! Get back here!!] Pluto finally started to roar out, but nothing stopped David. David finally turned around when he was close to the door and said [I will surely be having some fun with Aria now, don’t you worry, alright?] [ARGGG!!! You bastard!! Get back here right now!] Pluto completely lost his sense and roared like a crazy beast. David went out of the room and closed the door.
Back to the real time
[Now then, shall we have some fun, Aria?] David which was grinning turned around and looked at Aria before asking. [What are you doing to him?! Let him down!] Aria didn’t answer David and stood up trembling and walked to the mirror, she used her fist and hit the mirror. But, nothing happened more than a little vibration. A roaring sound was in the background while Aria tried to break the mirror. Behind Aria, was David which was grinning and thinking of how to proceed. Pluto who only saw a mirror but couldn’t see what was behind it, understood that it was being hit. He knew that someone was hitting that mirror and he knew that it was Aria who was in that room! Pluto’s mind finally snapped and roared with all his might [You monster!! Let go off Aria!! I’ll kill you!]
[Now Aria, it’s your turn to decide. I will let you pick what comes next. Your first option is that Pluto is going to hang there till he dies…] Before David could continue to explain his next option, Aria yelled out [No! Let him down!]. [I will be continuing, your next option is that I will let Pluto down and both of you can go back home, like nothing actually happened here] [Please, please let us return home!] Aria sobbed and yelled, but she didn’t turn around when she was talking. She was only looking at Pluto who was cursing, yelling and roaring out like a beast. [You shouldn’t pick before hearing all the options you have, you know?] David was grinning and started to explain further [Your third option is that I will heal Pluto and I will take both of you to the place I mentioned. All of this was just a little test which I wanted to check on both of you. So, you can now decide. Let Pluto die right now and you can return home. Both of you can return home and Pluto will die in a month’s time. And, finally, both of you will go to a fantasy place for the rest of your life and both you and Pluto will be healthy.]
Aria barely listened to his offers, but she clearly heard that both of them can live peacefully, only if she said so. Aria tried to speak, but her voice throat was dry that she could barely make a sound [I pick the third option, let us rest together. I don’t care where it is, just let us be together peacefully] Aria tried to give her reply, not long after she said that. Both her and Pluto fainted.
[They truly deserve going to that place, don’t they?] David asked himself before continuing to talk to himself [They surely are faited together. Sigh, I’m sorry for having done this, both of you may hate me for doing these things, and I don’t mind that too. But I had to do this] He looked at Aria then Pluto. David sighed before speaking [A girl with unimaginable love to someone, to the part where she does everything for that person. And that person.] David sighed deeply this time and lost his grin [That person, you are actually scarier than anyone I have met. You have lost everything, you don’t place anything in your eyes, nothing will ever be worth anything. But, your heart is filled with another person. No matter what, you think of her life way more important than your own. You wouldn’t mind being tortured, cursed at, beaten to death and even more horrible things, you are able to do all that just for protecting her. She’s a really lucky girl] David’s emotions were deep and it seemed like he was thinking of a past that he wanted to forget [Pluto, you don’t belong to this world. Your life isn’t fated to stay here with mortals, and it seems like that you have already decided who's going to stay by your side]
David kneeled down on one knee and said [I have finally found you again Pluto, my younger brother. You don’t belong to the world of mortals, by the right I have, I can allow two persons to transport back. You and your wife will be going back and getting back what’s actually yours! I’m sorry for causing all of this, I hope you don’t hate me this long because of this] David sighed again before looking dearly at Pluto before continuing [After both of you have returned, I can’t come back because I only managed to prepare enough magic for two people to return. Meanwhile I have to stay here, Pluto, you do your own things and your fate will lead you to the path that you deserved in your past life!] David’s voice was getting louder and louder, by the end of it he was yelling out. Around David, there was a white light surrounding him, it left him and went circled around Aria and Pluto before they vanished. David fell to his knees and blood was coming out from his eyes, mouth, ears and nose. He tried his best to look at Pluto before he vanished from the white room, when he didn’t see him anymore, his vision became fuzzy.
[My dear younger brother, wait for me]
