CHAPTER FOUR - THE SWAP: TWO

Modern times

Snowfall wondered round the museum intrigued. She made sure she got to see everything in sight and even touched some. "Wow" she exclaimed "my family really gathered a lot of beautiful treasures".

As she wondered further she noticed an old and dusty lamp sitting in the corner. She wondered out loud "what is this doing here, uncle must have left it here by mistake, but at least he should have dusted it, I'll go do it". She ran off and came back with a rag and bucket of water.

She began cleaning the the old lamp. She first dusted it with the rag, then she made it wet so that she could clean it properly.

She wanted to shift it a bit then she noticed it was stiff so she push it harder and felt a string pull and an entire wall of antics pulled open.

"Wooooooooow" said Snowfall wide-eyed with surprise. She saw a dark passage and wondered "what could be in there that uncle had to hide, I bet it's something precious, I best go and find out". She grabbed a flashlight and began to go into the dark passageway.

Ancient times

Jiangxue followed the silhouette out of her courtyard. She kept following it until it lead her to the hall of ancestral treasures. Intrigued, she went in. She forgot her former purpose for coming there and got carried away with the imperial treasures.

She continued looking around until the glow of the silhouette caught her attention again. This time it's figure was more define. It was a feminine figure class in white clothes and had white hair flowing down her shoulder and back. Jiangxue looked closer and then the face began to look more and more familiar.

"Mother" she called out "mother is that you". The silhouette didn't respond but instead turned around and floated towards a wall.

"Hey wait" Jiangxue called out as she followed the silhouette. The silhouette floated through a wall.

"Damnit" there has to be a way through" she said in frustration. She began lifting and pulling things until she pull a lamp and then a wall slide open revealing a dark passage. She saw the silhouette waiting for her, then it turned around and continued moving deeper into the passage. Jiangxue grabbed a touch and also began to wonder into the passage.

Modern times

The passageway seemed not to have an end and Snowfall was tired of walking. She was about turning around when she noticed white light glowing at the end of the passage. Excitedly she began to run to the direction of the light.

When she reached where the light was coming from she saw a door with light streaming out of it's sides. She opened the door and had to shield her eyes from the brightness of the room.

When her vision was back to normal, she saw the most beautiful Jade pendent she had ever seen in the whole world. It was crystalline in nature and it was so white it was almost transparent. She could see her own reflection, but the weird thing was her reflection didn't have the same cloth or hairstyle as she did.

Ancient times

Jiangxue began to regret following the silhouette. she had been walking from twenty minutes without even seeing any sign of an end.

She began contemplating going back when she noticed a door glowing with light. She looked around but the silhouette was no where to be seen. She decided to enter the room. She was immediately blinded by the amount of light radiating in the room upon opening the door.

When her vision was restored, she saw a shining crystalline pendent and cooed "wow!!!!!!! I have never seen anything so beautiful before". She stepped forward and noticed her reflection in the crystalline Jade starring back at her. She was wearing an odd attire and left her hair to flow around her shoulders. She reached out to touch her and so did her reflection.

As soon as there hands met, the clock stroke midnight and an electric shock travelled through there veins. Both girls screamed as there flashed before there eyes then everything became dark.

Ancient times

"Jiangxue, Jiangxue" Snowfall heard a soft voice call out her name only it wasn't in the usual way people usually pronounced it in English, rather it's was pronounced in Chinese. She slowly opened her eyes only to see a pair of soft brown eyes staring down at her in concern. "Who are you" she asked hoarsely.

Modern times

Jiangxue opened her eyes and saw that she was surrounded by white concrete walls. She saw some weird contraction making beeping sounds.

At her left she saw a man in he's forties looking down at the floor with a worried expression on his face. "Honey look she's awake" said a woman's soft voice. The man turned to look at her then a wide grin slowly crept itself unto he's face. She the saw the owner of the voice.

"Mother?!" she whispered hoarsely.
