Chapter 1 The Sudden barge in the auction house.

The auction house was full of people, all seated and discussing with each other.

The people were busy chatting and laughing, when the host offered his welcome.

"Welcome to the Rosario auction house" The host exclaimed cheerfully, a warm smile on his face. Claps boomed in the hall and the host silenced them gently, before speaking again.

"Now" He started with open arms "We shall begin the auction" the bidding and selling started. The hall became a war field, where everyone was ready to risk it all to gain the item they came for.

There were many kinds of people to that auction. Some knew that the items that were being sold were rare, and they wanted to show off their wealth buying them. Others were collectors, expecting to find something interesting to add to their lines. Some just loved antiques and were there to search for something they could like. Others were uninterested in the sold items, and were only there to form connections with other rich families.

Everyone had a plan in mind. 

Some people were waiting for the last item, the best and most expensive one.

"So, as the last object of this auction we have.." The people were eager to see it  "The so called 'Reincarnated doll' !" the host loudly exclaimed, and some employees came on stage carrying a small coffin and placing it in the center of the stage.

Suddenly a loud murmur started to rise.

"Is this one that 'doll'? Oh my! I heard that would have been sold, but I thought they were making it up!"

"Same here. I didn't think it was true!"

"But I wonder why they aren't opening the coffin?"

Then the host started talking again "If you are wondering why the coffin is not open, well, that's because the owner asked not to show it until it's bought. We follow the rules, so we can't show you the doll untill you buy it" he revealed, disappointing the crowd.

"Without delay, let's begin the bidding" he clapped his hands together "We will start w-" The host was interrupted as the door loudly slammed open. Three men in black suits barged in, walking towards the stage.

One of them stood in front of the host and handed him a check "Wha- Who are you people? What's with the check?" The host questioned frantically.

"Our boss wants to buy the doll" The man in black said stoically "This check should be enough to pay for it. Right?" He arched an eyebrow. The host gulped and nodded his head, as the money was more than enough.

The man nodded to his companion as to confirm that the deal was sealed and the two took hold of the coffin and exited the auction house, closing the doors politely.

It all happened so fast that the audience couldn't even react

When they came to their senses, they started commenting what happened, making a fuss. Some people were angry and started shouting curses, since they didn't have the chance to buy the doll, while others were curious about who the new owner of the coffin was.

The host was also panicking, but he kept a poker face, as he had been trained well.

He didn't know what to do.

As he was thinking his phone rang. The host hurriedly picked up.

"Hello Elron" the owner's voice came from the phone.

"Sir, what should we do? it's a mess!" Elron, the host, asked in panic.

"Don't worry. Just calm down. I know what's going on. Just end the auction, it's already time" Elron didn't understand much, but he did what he was told.

"Please calm down Everyone. I apologize for the sudden interruption. The last Item is sold, so the auction has come to an end. We are thankful that you came, goodbye for now. I hope to see you all to our next auction. Have a Good night" Elton politely ended the auction and left the stage. The audience was obviously mad as they didn't get any explanation, but it was already late, so they all left. Some were satisfied, while some were fuming from the anger. There were many complaints, but they were all dismissed.

On the flip hand, a man was leisurely drinking tea while sitting in his car, satisfied with his patronage. A knock on the car door made the man nod; and the man in black opened it, and stayed outside, holding the elegant coffin. There were blue bells stitched on it and it was decodated with jewels.

"Kye, place it inside." The man ordered seeing the coffin.

"Yes sir!" the man named kye answered rested carefully the small coffin on the seat. 

"hurry, we have to go to my sister's birthday party as well" The man told his driver, who nodded and started the car.

The whole car ride was silent and peaceful, the driver was used to it by now and his eyes were solely fixed on the road.

While the man looked silently outside the window, he took a glimpse of the coffin and couldn't help but wonder how the doll looked like. He took hold of the coffin and gently opened it.

The man's eyes widened in surprise to what he saw. It was a breath-taking beauty. The doll was angelic, with it's silver hair and porcelain skin. Its eyes were closed and it looked totally like a human, not at all like a doll.

'Hmm, I have to say that Arcane was a great doll maker' The man thought as he was totally impressed with the doll's craftsmanship.

He touched the doll's cheek, he blinked as he looked at his hand. Its skin was soft like a human's, but cold. Not even the littlest bit of warmth. The man was surprised to be honest, but then again, it was a doll, so it should have been normal for it to be this way, no matter how human-like it looks, it's still a doll.

'I'm sure my sister will like it' he thought watching at the peacefully sleeping doll. He then closed the coffin and went back to look out of the window.

"It's seems like it's really gonna rain" he murmured as drops of water fell to the ground.

 ------

The temperature was getting colder with the rain, but the city was really pleasing, a pleasure for the eye.
