She faced the mirror. And with one fell swoop, she let her hand touch the glass.

All there was was a bright light that swallowed the whole room. Brighter than any light seen. Then slowly, it dimmed to nothing.

The light was soon gone, and with it, so was Charlotte.

Prologue - Welcome to the Villains' World
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darkness. That's all I could see. I'm stiff. I can't move. What exactly happened after I left through the mirror? Where am I? And where the hell is my bag?!

Am I...in a box?! No, don't be ridiculous.

But then why do I hear something like a door being forced open outside?

"What's that noise?" I whisper.

"Crap! People are coming! I've gotta get a uniform while I can..."

Okay, that did NOT sound like anyone I knew.

"Nnnnnnngh! The lid's too heavy! Time for my secret move, then! Hnaaaaaaaaaah! Got it!"

And then I saw blue fire. Inside where I was.

I screamed. "What the- fire?!" The door swung open.

"Okay, then! Now to get- AAAAAAAAAAGH! Why are you up?!"

Immediately, my eyes landed on a small...thing with grey fur with a white patch on its chest. It had ears with grey fur and blue fire on them. Bright blue eyes, little pink paws and a pitchfork tail. And wrapped around its neck was a black and white striped ribbon tied in a bow with the ends scorched.

"There's a talking raccoon!" Was the only thing that came out of my mouth.

Out of the corner of my eye, I immediately notice it's the same room I was in before in my dreams. Yep, déjà vu at its best. And that the perfect moment. "Great!" I scowled. Mentally.

"Just who are you calling a raccoon?! I am the great Grim!" The creature growled, but then smirked. "Well, no matter. Oi, human: hurry up and gimme those clothes! Otherwise...I'll roast ya!" At that, blue flames suddenly surrounded the area I was at.

I recoiled back in the coffin.

"Someone help me!" I thought. Outside, it was different, "Dreaming about getting roasted by a raccoon? That's something you don't see everyday." I smile, weirded out.

"I said I'm not a freakin' raccoon!" The thing, Grim, scolded.

I didn't think twice as I lifted my leg and on instinct, using my hapkido training, I kicked that thing away from me. He screamed as he went airborne at the sudden contact. But now was my chance.

I hightailed on outta there!

But...I didn't know where I was going!!!

I just kept running.
