A child walks her head held low down a lonly road. Her skin pale and pocelin white. A small tiara sit atop her wind blown hair. her once long dress hanging in tatters from her sholders. her bears feet move slowly across the rocky road.

Seeing the road streaching before hopeing that somewhere along the road was a place she would find familar. Or an inn though she had no money. she knew the tiara would get something of a price.

Stoping to climb apone a large stone on the side of the road to rest....

After feeling she could move again the child slided dow the rock to stand on the rode. she made her way down the rode until she came to the village and in the distance she saw it.

A mujestic castle. her heart lept thinking that her jonerny home may have finally come to an end. She broke into a run her tired mustles forgeting the long road they had traveled. she only slowed down when she reached the massive gates.

lifting a small hand she knocked she stood waiting from an nswer for only a few minutes before she let her wings fade into veiw and flew over the large wall. Comeing to land in the court yard she let her wings fade back out and stood straightning her dress before makeing her way toward the doors of the castle...

I was in the gardens most of that day, I would end up resting out there alot after all the work I put into my roses. I sat down on the bench and just looked at all the hard work I put into making my gardens look as they did. I was unaware of the company that had come to the castle. I just remained quietly resting there. My brother came out to see how I was doing, we sat and talked for a bit before he returned back in. I soon found myself heading in as well. On my way I saw someone heading toward the main doors and I went to greet who it was.

"Darkest of greetings.. I am the lady of the castle.. owner. How can I help you?"

My tone was calm and relaxed as well the way I presented myself. I opened up the doors and walked in inviting her in.

"If you need rest or something to eat or drink, please let me know."

I led her into the main room and had her sit down.

Lily's heart sank as the women had appered. She knew now that this was not the home she had left.

Following the women inside to the main room. siting on a couch she did what she could to hide her drity feet with what remained of her dress. She trimbeled as she watched the women.

Her long blond hair was a tangeled and streacked with dryed mud her tiara set croced apone her head. it was held there with a couple of small braids that were frade. her vilot eyes seemed to smile even though her face did not.

" I am hungery very much lady. I hopes you will forgive my apperance. I have had a long joerney and it seems it will be longer yet."

I watched her carefully, to almost study her. She looked frazzled and fraile. She needed to calm and relax and indeed get something of food in her. When she spoke of her hunger and thrist I called upon my minions to gather a meal for our guest. They got everything prepared and ready in the dining area. I usually just ate in my kitchen or when I hunted, but would give our guest better treatment. She looked like she needed a good sit down and eating. I took her into the diningroom, the table was big enough for an army of soldiers to eat at and one place was set just for her. The chinaware and silverware were nothing like she would have ever seen, came from the old times. I told the minions to set a place for me as well, I would accompany the guest.

"Please take a seat..."

We both sat down. The food was then brought out for her and something to feast upon her eyes would see. At first she seemed hesitant until she looked to me with her somewhat pouty yet smiling violet hues. And then she fed. She ate like it ad been sometime for her, I would be the last to judge her for this, as I have been there one too many time before. The minions kept the food and drinks coming.

I did not feast as she did. I hardly made a habit of eating with guests or anyone for that matter. My brother came down and saw our guest, nodding to me as he came to me and whispered in my ear. I nodded to him and looked to her.

"This is my brother, Dracul Jr. He is going to help you with a room after you eat.. then you will beable to get some rest."

My brother just looked to her and then left the room. Sometimes he had a nasty habit of just giving a cold stare without thinking it may actually frighten a newcomer.

She finished eating and drinking, sitting back as if to be full and smiled sweet to me. I knew now was time for her to rest. My brother was waiting at the entrance of the dining area for her. He had her follow him to the upstairs where most of the rooms to rest were in.

"This is the only part of the castle you may roam. Many rooms are locked to avoid anyone from entering."

Coming to the room were she would rest he unlocked the door and opened. She would see it was most grand, lavished in pure delight to the sore eyes. The bed alone was big enough for five to sleep in, with more than enough room. He walked her in and left her to rest.

"If you need anything.. the minions will assist you from here."

He left her from there... his tone when spoke was deep and very low. Fit his size well. One of the minions came in with some clothes for her to change in and left her alone from there. The door closed and she was by herself, in a strange place, unaware of anything around her.

Lily stood just where the man had left her. The room was lavasly beaitful and very large. Tears weld up in her eyes as she was now afrade, unsure of this place and very alone. slowly she moved to the clothing and a wash basen where she removed that braids in her hair and her tiara seting it apone the table. she found that her room had a bath so made use of it. she steped from the bath feeling clean. she dawned the closes that were left for her then finding a bush she brushed her long hair. She looked to the bed and yawned but felt the fear return. crawling up onto the window sill she looked out the window. and for the first time in many weeks she cryed. This place was stange to her and she felt she did not belong. Afade of what the man had said she desided she wound never leave the room for fear of what might be wandering the castle.

she wandered over to hold her tiara. it was the only thing she had that reminded her of home and the only thing that gave her confert in this strange place.

the sounds that ecoed though the castle kept her from sleep. the fear of what might happen if she did sleep. however she begain getting tired so she did what she thought would keep her safe she begain moveing anthing she could in front of the door when she felt that she could move no more for fear of passing out she sat before the pile of thing took a deep breath fighting off sleep.

Only a few hours pasted before she could fight it no more and slowly she sliped into sleep right where she sat...
