Chapter One
Catrin
Catrin (Cat, as she preferred to be called) Craine looked up at the old manor with questioning eyes. She didn't know why she was even here, other then the fact that she had been drug here against her will by her mother.
Cat was 16; young and beautiful with bright blue eyes and long light brown-blonde hair, which had bright, red stripes running through it in the front.
Her facial features bared a striking resemblance to her ancestor, Katrina Van Tassel, or at least that's what she had been told by old relatives and whatnot.
Her pale skin looked even paler because of the black v-neck sweater she wore. Boot cut dark blue jeans covered her Victorian style black boots that had the 3-inch heels.
A light blue cameo hung around her thin neck on a strip of black ribbon and long silver earrings hung down from her earlobes.
Cat's bright blue eyes were painted lightly with midnight blue eyeliner and her long lashes thick with black mascara. A pale pink color was on her lips. Except for these few makeup necessities, her face was bare. She was actually quite pretty and had popularity among most boys, but she never noticed the attention she drew, for the most part she was much more concerned with getting an education and practicing her music then she was in dating. A fact which most of her friends just rolled their eyes at in dismay because of the many guys that had tried to and unsuccessfully set Cat up with in the past.
They had since ceased efforts of trying to find Cat a boyfriend.
The house that loomed before was the Van Tassel estate that had been in the family for ages. And since her great uncle's recent demise, the estate fell to the hands of her mother, Elaine Craine-Cage. But since Elaine and her husband's divorce, she had dropped the hyphen. And so now it was just Elaine Craine (Craine being her maiden name before she had wed of course), as it was with her daughter's name.
But in any case, that was what had brought them on that autumn day, which was quite foggy and cold, to the town known as Sleepy Hollow.
