Chapter 14: To the Dwarfs' Mine

Andrea's POV:
I opened my eyes and I can see the Dwarf's house that looked just like from the movie! But something about here feels... wrong... but I don't know what it why I have this weird feeling. "So this is is a Dwarf's Mine.... It used to be prosperous thanks to magic crystal mining but..." "Uuuuhh... Feels like something could jump out..." Grim whimpered as he curled deeper into my arms in fear. "Oh, there's a house back there. Let's go ask them about the mine." Ace said as he points at the cottage that's a few feet away, soon we start walking towards it. Deuce knocked on the door a few times, but there's no answer, so we went inside. As we got inside, the state before us shocks me; it was dusty, filled with cobwebs and the old furniture was either damage or look like they're about to break.

"What the hell happened here?" I thought as I scan the room as Grim jumps out of my arms, "Hellooo? Is anyone home...? Must be empty. It looks like it's been abandoned." Deuce said, "Bwah! I got a spider web on my face! Peh peh!" Grim shouted as he quickly wipes the webs off his face, I looked around the room, filled with worry and concern. "Something definitely happened here to cause the Dwarf's house to be like this..." I thought as a dread feeling build up inside of me. "Aren't the tables and chairs on the small side? Are they for kids?" Ace asked when he noticed seven small chairs, "One, two... Seven! So many!" Ace said in surprise, "This was probably a lively home when Dwarf's Mine flourished." Deuce guessed. "They did what they had to. After all, magic crystals are found inside coal." Ace said.

Voice:
🎵 Ah-ah-ah-ah~ 🎵

I softly gasp, there's that voice again. I look around and I can hear it again.

Voice:
🎵 Ah-ah-ah-ahh-ah-ah~ 🎵

Without realizing it, I began to follow the voice, like my feet has a mind of their own.

3rd Person's POV:
"What do you think, Andie-san?" Deuce asked, but there was no answer from her, there was only silence. "Andie-san?" Ace, Deuce and Grim looked around the room to see Andie is gone! "Hey! Where did she go?!" Grim asked. Meanwhile, Andie is wandering around the house, trying to hear the voice again so she'll try to guess where it's coming from.

Voice:
🎵 Ah-ah-ah-ah~ 🎵

"Seriously, who are you?" She asked softly, "I need answers, who or what are you? What do you want from me?" "I know I sound crazy since I'm talking to nothing but air, but this is getting out of hand." Andie thought. Right as Andie is about to follow the voice again, "There you are Andie!" Startled by a familiar male voice, Andie turned to see Ace, Deuce and Grim behind her. "What are you doing here? Are you looking for something?" Ace asked curiously. "Sorry guys, I thought I heard something, but I guess I was just hearing things." She lied as she picked up Grim, who walked up to stand by her side, she wants to tell them about the voice she's been hearing, but she doesn't want them to think she's crazy. "If you say so, just don't do it again, alright?" Deuce told her and she nodded. "Guess there's no point of looking in here. If there's any magic crystals around here, they're all probably still in the mine." Ace said, "Good idea, let's go check it out." Andie said, and the four of them left the cottage and head towards the mine.

Andrea's POV:
We were able to find the mine's entrance, but even at night it looks really dark in there.

"Welp, here we are." I said as we stood in front of the entrance, "W-We're gonna go in that pitch black hole!?" Grim trembled in my arms and Ace laughs at him. "Scared? Lame." "Naanh!? I'm not s-scared at all!" He jumps out of my arms again and stood in front of us, trying to act tough. "I'm taking the lead! You guys follow me!" "Oh brother," I rolled my eyes at Grim, "I swear, it's feels like I'm listening to a raccoon-cat version of Ayato Sakamaki from Diabolik Lovers." I follow Ace, Deuce and Grim into the mine.

We walked inside the mine, and I can see the place is filled with beautiful real gems that are still on the walls. Too bad I can't take some back with me, but we have to find the magic crystal, that is if this place still has anymore left. Deuce suddenly said, "Wait!" as we stop walking. "What?" Ace asked, "What's wrong?" I asked. "Something... is there!" Deuce shouted. "Eeek!?" Grim yelped as he ran and climb up on me and hide under my hair when two mining ghosts appeared in front of us!

"What the hell!?" I yelled, "There's ghosts in this place!?" "Heeee hee hee! Our first visitor in ten years!" The fat ghost laughed, "make yourselves at home. For eternity!" The stubby ghost said, "Like hell we are! Run!" Not wanting to be told twice, Ace, Deuce and I began to run away from the ghosts with Grim holding on tight on my shirt.
