A/N: Yay! My first Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Fanfic!!! I thought about this, for a time, and decided to put it on fanfiction. This story starts from Episode II-V. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN UMINEKO NO NAKU KORO NI! IT BELONGS TO 07th Expansion. if i did own umineko...it would suck. I only own the plot.
A mirror, obstructed by reality from a thin piece of silk. Only did someone notice it when, the room lighted, the luminescent mirror would shine as bright as a mirror. Some people called it a curse, and tried to destroy it themselves. On the other hand, people travelled to it, never to return again. No one knew its real magical attributes. Unnoticeable by all, the mirror was forced into isolation. Lone in a corner it laid, a corner peeking out of its silk cover. The glass mirror was of full body length.
No one could sense it, and since its fame was rarely known, people forgot about it. The mirror, curse or gift? More like otherworldly object. Yet, who knows how long ago it was moved into the lonely corner of Natsuhi's room?
The typhoon kept the family and servants from leaving; they were isolated in their mansions, facing the horrific unknown murders. They didn't know that this was their second time they all died, and they didn't believe it was the Golden Witch's fault. The talk of her was merely a legend between the servants.
Krauss, Kyrie, Rudolf, Natsuhi, Hideyoshi, and Eva were killed the first night in the nearby chapel. Their intestines were taken out, and then their stomachs replaced with candy. Soon, Jessica was found dead in her room, a stake in her back. Kanon was missing. Later, the servants claimed to have seen Kumasawa and Dr. Nanjo die in front of their eyes. Yet, their bodies were gone as well.
Accused of being the culprits, the servants were stripped of their keys that led throughout the mansion. Rosa, being the last surviving adult, had taken a gun, and had put herself, Battler, and Maria in the same room, for protection. She expected to live throughout the second night. For the typhoon to pass. And the seagulls to cry once again…
"Will you swear to the bottom of your heart to become my furniture?" Beatrice asked and cackled. Battler tensed a little, the words she spoke were in red. He stayed frozen in his spot, Beatrice's piercing glare breaking the ice freezing him.
"I-I'll think about that." Battler said and looked away. "I need some fresh air."
"You have two hours. If you say yes, I will tell Rosa that there are only five master keys, and that there are no duplicates. And that each murder was in a closed room, not committed by the servants. I cannot wait for your answer." Beatrice said, and cackled again.
"Aunt Natsuhi had a mirror similar to the one on that shrine." George said. "If we can get the mirror, we are safe from Beatrice's attacks…right?"
"I will not go with you." Genji said. "I will stay here, unless madam requires any service of us."
By the time he was done with his sentence, George, Shannon, and Gohda were already running to the chapel.
Genji heard an odd shimmering sound. He turned around, and just as fast threw a dagger deftly at the butterfly; it burst into millions of pieces. He then knew, that the three wouldn't make it alive, neither would he.
"Eeek!" Gohda said in disgust, as he saw the six corpses sitting horrified at the table. The pumpkin still had gold bars in its mouth, and the candy was still stuffed in each of the corpses' bellies. The whole murder scene was unchanged.
"I cannot take the key from madam, for I am a servant, and cannot touch a girl." Gohda said.
"Right, then I will find it." George said. He went to Natsuhi's corpse and reached in her pocket, for the key to her room. He found it. No sooner, were golden butterflies filling the whole chapel, brightening the darkness with their eerie golden light. George ran to Shannon and saw Gohda swinging his jacket at the butterflies, shouting at them to shoo. George tried to open the chapel door, but it was locked. He desperately tried to open it.
"Hee hee hee." A young feminine voice laughed. They saw above them, standing before the stained glass window, Beatrice, in school clothes. She snapped her fingers and the chapel doors opened. "Entertain me humans, with your displays of escape." She laughed.
"Gohda!" Shannon called. He was frozen in terror at seeing the Golden Witch. They all ran back to the mansion. Yet, they felt eyes watching them, and the witch's cackle echoed in their heads.
They ran up the stairs. Turned the corner. Then opened the door to Natsuhi's room, Gohda slammed it shut. George was kneeling before her bureau.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Natsuhi." He said and looked through them. He opened a drawer and saw a small white box. He picked it up in his hands and took out a knife, trying to unlock it.
Gohda was struggling with locking the door, which would not carry out his wish. He opened the door a crack, and saw goat-headed butlers streaming through the halls, with blue swords floating above their hands. He forced his weight on the door. Pushes from the butlers tried to open the door.
"Hurry! George!" Gohda shouted. That didn't ease the pressure George was feeling. He couldn't open the box, but still tried. Shannon was standing beside him, encouraging him.
Two hands appeared on the other side of the door, and grabbed Gohda's collar. They lifted him off the ground, Gohda started freaking out.
"Oh, do you see your life flashing before your eyes? Well, now it's all over!" The girlish voice said and giggled. A stake struck him through the door, and hit him in the chest.
"Gohda!" Shannon cried. The door unlocked, and Beatrice, in her regular dress, and her furniture poured through the door. George stuck his arm out to protect Shannon.

"I…can end this." Battler said to himself. "This game can end."
"What are you saying?!" A female voice said. Battler looked behind him. A woman with red hair, in a white dress and, and white hat, that blocked her face, was talking to him.
"I can-"
"You can't give up!" The woman said. Battler saw that she had long, red hair, and he recognized the voice from somewhere. "You have a missing family member to look after!"
"Ange…" Battler muttered. He remembered his six year old sister, staying at his grandparent's house. "I don't know what to do anymore!" He said frustrated.
"You can oppose her and win." The woman said.
"What…?"
"Remember the one that would be most affected." The woman said; she disappeared.
"I…"
He decided to go see what had happened during his absence. Battler saw Shannon with a stake through her head, and George through his heart, as the same with Gohda. He looked around, shaking his head.
"George…" He said. Something shined from his hand; he saw a small hand mirror. Except, it wasn't shining towards him, it was shining towards something in the corner.
He saw a long rectangular object, covered by a cloth. Battler walked to it, and took off the cloth, and looked at it. His reflection grimaced back at him. He knew it, just a regular mirror.
Mugen…
Battler looked around. Nothing but darkness, his reflection, and three corpses.
Endless…
Battler looked at the mirror. His reflection was still there, reflecting what he could see.
World…
"Join me! Come to my fantastic world!" An inane voice a cackled.
And with that, Battler was pulled through the mirror. Completely unknown to him, was his future in the mirror.
He entered a reverse world.
A/N: So...? Is it good? I think I messed up some parts of it. But...I'm glad that I wrote something for Umineko! I wanted to write something with Maria in it...but I couldn't think of anything. Next chapter will be out soon...hopefully...
Remember, from this point on, Battler is in a different world, not the Meta-world. And I'm not going to spoil the rest.
Please review!
