Vimka Pritchard was having a normal day in her little town of Stokely when she receives a visit from her best and only friend Robin Branaugh. He told me that a family moved into the old castle on the hill and he was convinced that the family were vampires. Robin was always obsessed about vampires and with all the legends and facts he has told me, I came to admire vampires as well. He was telling me how he couldn't wait to see a real vampire family and I couldn't help but smile. As we got closer to the castle I couldn't help but feel brawn towards it but I have never before been drawn to the castle before. Robin knocked on the door and waited for it to open, the castle had a set of double doors and we were each standing in front of one. Robin's door open and a pungent smell and the voice of a man.
"Not juicy enough. Go away."
Then the door was slammed shut. Robin looked towards me and turned to walk away when I pulled him back and knocked on the door myself. The door opened up again and I saw a man with dirt and warts all over his face and his hair in patches.
"Young Mistress. Come in, come in." the man spoke and pulled me inside and slammed the door before Robin could enter with us. The man began to walk and I followed behind him and looked at any detailed I could. It was amazing. We entered a giant room that looked like a ballroom converted into a dining area with a throne at the end of the room. Upon that throne was a man with long crow black hair dressed in black leather clothes and a black cape with incredibly pale skin and sitting in a smaller chair beside the throne was a girl with raven black hair in a red and black dress.
"Excuse me, master but this young mistress was at the door." the creepy man that answered the door said.
"Renfield I told you I didn't want any visitors, you stupid useless waste of space." the man in the throne yelled at the creepy man, Renfield. I looked into the Eyes of the man on the throne and almost like something clicked in my mind, I thought of a single name.
"Dracula." the name slipped out of my mouth in a whisper but the man on the throne still heard me. He was in front of before I could even blink.
"What did you say, girl?" the man growled out at me. Normally I would be scared but I didn't even flinch. I wasn't able to say anything because in a flash he disappeared. It was almost like I could tell where he was because I began to walk down a hall where I saw the man from before and a boy who was around my age (12).
"Now go to your room." the man expressed sternly to the boy.
"But father-" the boy tried to explain himself but the man, his father, wouldn't hear of it. The boy gave a defected sigh and turned around but stopped when he saw me. I felt a connection with this boy, a connection I couldn't explain but it was very strong. The boy had fair skin and charcoal black hair. I don't know why but as soon as I broke away from the trance we were in, I walked forwards until I was a foot away from the boy and I could see straight into his ocean blue eyes, then I walked past him and the man right out the door. I ran back to my house but from the moment I stepped out the door I wanted dearly to just turn and head back to the castle. When I finally past over the threshold of the house, the feeling slowly began to go away and the deeper I walked into the house the more it passed. I entered the kitchen to see my whole family sitting at the table. It was times like this that made me question everything, and think of how different I was from my family. Every member of my family had golden blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes but I was the complete opposite of them. I didn't have blonde hair not of any shade or brown eyes, instead I have midnight black hair and electric blue/green eyes. I have 6 siblings and my parents. My mother Elsie, my father Reuben, my older brother Aaron, my older sister Maryum, my younger sister Ava, my younger brother Tommy and the baby twins Elijah & Isabel. My family was a happy bright loving family and I was the black sheep of the family, I love all things dark and vampiric. I walked past them and up the stairs to my room. My room and Robin's room was almost identical only mine was more feminine. I laid on my bed for what seemed like hours just thinking about the new family. 'Why did the name dracula enter my mind when I saw the man.' I was interrupted from my thoughts when my mother called me downstairs to talk with Robin on the phone. I was only able to say hello before Robin quickly yelled something about vampires and to head over to his house before the line went dead, he hung up on me. I told my mom I was heading over to Robin's and that I would be back late. All I got in response was a 'be safe, honey.' I walked down the street to the yellow house which belonged to the Branaugh's. I knock on the door and was welcomed by a blinding smile from Elizabeth Branaugh, Robin's mother. I walked up to Robin's room to see him watching a documentary of bats.
"Vimka, are you okay? What happened? I went back to the castle to look for you after you were pulled in. Did you find out that they are vampires, too?" Robin rushed out in a single breath. I couldn't help but smile at how excited Robin was right now when all he usually is is dark. I told him what happened to me and he told me how he meet the boy who's name is Vlad and became friends, the girl Ingrid and the man almost ate him but was saved by Vlad. We decided to go back to watching the documentary and I went to the kitchen to grab some snacks. I came back to the sight of Robin standing by the window and Vlad crouching on the windowsill. I don't think they noticed me yet so I walked in, sat on the floor and decided to see how long it would take them to notice me. A few seconds later Robin left the room and they still didn't know I was there.
"So, this is what my room is suppose to look like." Vlad said as he looked around the room. I decided that I would Stand up and introduce myself. "Hello." I greeted and Vlad whipped around at the sound of my voice.
"You're the girl from before." Vlad stated.
"And your Vlad. Robin has told me all about you." I explained as I saw his confusion about me knowing his name.
"Yeah. I'm Vladimir Count but I like Vlad. And what do you mean by Robin's told me everything?" Vlad asked me.
"Well about you and your family being vampires of course but both me and Robin love vampires so if it's not true I apologize. And I'm Vimka Pritchard. Nice to meet you." I told him and turned around when I heard some banging from Robin in the kitchen. When I turned back to Vlad he was gone and Robin came back into the room with some drinks. We both thought nothing of Vlad disappearing act and continued to watch the documentary before I had to head back home for the next day at school.
