Before you stands a huge mansion, "So, we'll be living here?" You ask looking up to your father.

"Yes, son, we'll be living here. This isn't just a playground, please remember that, son. I had you enrolled to the public school as you wished. I know you will make me proud. After all, you are my son." Your father declares.

"Okay, father." You stand there, alongside your father, and in front of the limousine that got you there. You hear the limousine drive off, you also hear your father audibly sigh. He starts walking towards the mansion, you watch him go. Deep in thought, you sigh and follow him. Life has been hard on you two ever since your mom had passed away. Your father has never been the same after her death.

Sighing, you start walking up to the building, following your father.


Now inside the house, you sit in a chair, looking across the room you're in. There is a glass screen door, you look past it and across the backyard of the mansion, it's a huge garden. It's actually, pretty looking, you decide to go check it out, and open the door between you and that beautiful garden. As soon as you open the door, you run out, semi-closing the door and run out in to the garden. It's huge. It's amazing. You see a hedge maze and enter, wondering where it'll take you.


It's been a few hours. You're lost inside the hedge maze. You can see the sun setting. You start to worry. Frantically, you start running around looking for the hedge maze exit. You can't find one, you stop, admitting your defeat to the hedge maze, you lean against a hedge wall. You sigh, for the third time today, today was the worst day you ever lived. Nothing could make it a good day.

Suddenly you feel the hedge maze wall suck you in, you mutter some panicked words before watching the world around you disappear.

You don't know what happened, but you look around, you're in another part of the maze, you didn't see it before, it was new. There is a fountain in front of you, and no clear exits around you, the night sky shines down on you showing some of the fountain's features. It looked pretty normal, clear, clean water spouting around making an amazing sight to behold. For some reason this fountain didn't look like any other, you slowly approached it. No, it was definitely different. Almost magically. You touched the water. It felt cool to the touch. You could see the night sky reflected in the water. You touched the water again, this time drowning your whole hand in it, it suddenly shined. You jumped back a little, surprised by the sudden shine, but then you came back to the fountain, and placed your hand back in the water. It shined again. You kept your hand there, in the water, it was nice, to cool down, you started to splash the water onto your face. It felt cool and nice. You looked down into the fountain. It looked so welcoming. You touched it again with your hand, and watched the water shine in return. You kept your hand there, watching, suddenly you felt it pull you in!

The fountain was going to drown you! You struggled with all your weak might, you knew this was the end, you never could do more than ten push-ups in gym. You had no chance against a magical fountain. You watched in horror as it sucked your hand in, and then your arm! The water started creeping up your arm, sucking you in like a vacuum!

You soon fell into the fountain, it's strange power overwhelming you. You realized you were in another room before you passed unconscious.
