Well... This is my very first published fanfic on here... Kinda nervous and excited all at the same time... I am a big huge fan of Christine Feehan and I just wanted to write a good humorous story that involves two girls who have no idea what they are about to get into. NOTE: All characters and Carpathian facts belong solely to the one and only Christine Feehan. I only claim the humor in the writing and the two girls which are only here for you to enjoy!


"Well this is awkward…" Jaz murmured as she stared around the men's room where two middle-aged me were currently occupying the area. Jaz snorted, a smile coming to her face as she held back her laughter at the mistake of picking the wrong door for the ladies' rest room and the priceless gawk of a look on her best friend's face.

"Oh my- we'll ah… We're leaving now. Sorry for the um- disturbing you from your," with a flap of her hands toward the men Kiera was turning more red with the passing seconds of embarrassment, "manly business." Kiera finally squeaked out the last bit as she whipped around in the opposite direction and grabbed her now hysterical cackling so-called friend as she rushed out of the men's restroom in record-breaking speed. Once outside, Jaz bent over holding her stomach and let her laughter out in a whoosh as she fought to breathe. Kiera crossed her arms across her chest as she glowered at her friend, her heart hammering loudly in her ears. She couldn't believe that they had actually gone and picked the wrong door for the ladies' bathroom. She felt as if her heart was in her throat as she swallowed and continued to look at Jaz who apparently thought the whole situation was the most hilarious thing she had ever seen.

"It's not funny, Jaz," she grumbled as she sighed and rolled her eyes in agitation. Tossing her head, her dirty blonde hair flowed around her to land in gentle waves on her right shoulder. Raising her eyebrow, she watched Jaz begin to compose herself by standing up, wiping her tears of laughter away and looked at Kiera with a look that said 'Any moment I'm going to crack up again.'

"Oh yes it was, Kiera. You should have seen your face. Priceless," Jaz said on a bark of laughter as she reached up to take her ponytail band out of her strawberry blonde hair which looked more red, now straightened hair from the straightener as she ran her fingers through the long mass to get any tangles out. With natural repetition from daily practice, she gathered her hair up again and put the mass back up in her ponytail. She couldn't help but smile at Kiera who still glowered at her with her sea green eyes and thought that her friend was trying to be tough with her dying embarrassment of picking the wrong door. Jaz's own gray eyes held laughter inside as she packed away the awesome memory in her large memory bank.

"Haha, very funny. Can we go through the other door now and go to the bathroom like we planned?" Kiera growled out as she stalked over to the other door on the left and grabbed the door knob. Jaz followed after her and the sarcastic attitude she had and couldn't help but throw out some of her own quirks.

"Yes the other door… Next stop is Narnia," Jaz piped up as Kiera pushed the door open. Jaz heard Kiera scoff as she continued into the room and both could confirm that this was the ladies' room. Both went in and did their business in silence. At the sink with both of them washing their hands, Jaz looked at Kiera.

"Well at least it's not Narnia in here," Kiera murmured as she looked back at Jaz with a smile. Jaz smiled back and laughed softly as she reached for some paper towels. She loved that their friendship was so easily forgiven, their anger and frustrations melting away in mere seconds and they were able to be best friends over and over again. Being best friends from the sandbox, they grew up with each other, knowing one another inside and out but also knowing deep secrets and signs that something wasn't right. They were in tune with each other and that's what set them apart from everyone else. And they both knew that they were different from society. They didn't factor on the normal scale and their secrets they swore never to tell… Ever.

"Thank God for that… Talking animals would be too much for me," Jaz joked as she gave Kiera a couple towels to dry off her hands as well. Throwing away the used towels, they walked out of the girls room and down the hall to their room. Wrapping her arm over Kiera's shoulder, Jaz hugged her friend closer to her. Kiera was her one and only friend in the world and that meant everything to her. What made being in Romania all the better on their amazing world-wide trip around the world was that Kiera was with Jaz and her parents were home in Tampa, Florida. That made the trip even more free and fun without her parents because they One, don't approve of her going anywhere without them, Two, don't approve of Kiera as her best friend because she's middle class and not high class and Three, Jaz was missing out on hanging out with her "other" friends; that she was hanging out with Kiera too much… And that was why she was happy to be on this trip with Kiera and fulfill her friend's dream to see the world. Jaz understood that her best friend, Kiera, didn't have the money to do what they're doing but that didn't mean she didn't deserve to see amazing wonders because she did.

"What are you thinking about? You look down," Kiera murmured as she wrapped her own arm around Jaz's waist and pulled her closer and pulled her closer in silent comfort. Kiera was attuned to Jaz, reading her face as she had since Kindergarten and she could tell that with the smile now gone and the hooded gaze that something was on her mind.

"I'm just glad to be on our amazing, over the top trip with you, Key. I know that this trip means so much to you and I can think of no other person to share this with other than you," Jaz spoke freely what was on her mind, not bothering in denying or covering up her thoughts; she's always been truthful whether what she had to say was good or bad. Jaz knew that was another thing that made their friendship so true and pure, unique.

"I know, Jaz. Thank you," Kiera smiled as she leaned her head upon Jaz's should as they came to their door. Jaz pulled out the silver key, smiling herself as she unlocked the door and both walked in and made themselves comfortable with Jaz sprawled out on the bed and Kiera sitting Indian-style on the floor.

"So… What are the plans for tonight?" Jaz asked as she rolled over to her stomach at the edge of the bed and looked at Kiera working on their scrapbook of their trip. Kiera just shrugged her shoulders as she glued a picture of both of them in France at a little café shop.

"I don't quite know. What would you like to do? Besides," Kiera looked up at Jaz with mirth in her sea-green eyes as she turned slightly so that she was almost face-to-face with Jaz. "You're the one with the crazy ideas… Oh!" both girls jumped at Kiera's squeal of excitement. "You aren't planning on us skinny-dipping again, are you? You know we almost got thrown out of that hotel in England," both began to laugh at the memory of both of the incident of them in the water fountain just days ago.

"Oh no! Not tonight anyways," Jaz looked away in a mock-guilty look before bursting out again in a chorus of giggles.

"Haha! Well that's good to know," Kiera joked back as she moved to lie on her stomach.

"Oh! How about a quick tour of the town? I mean it's not going to be grandeur as France was but it might be cool to see how night life is out there in this country out in the middle of nowhere," Jaz said as she got up off of the bed with a bounce in her step. Dashing over to her Bright blue suitcase, she began to dig through her clothes to find some that were warmer for night life than her jean shorts and t-shirt. Finally happy with the thick pair of jeans and her long sleeve shirt and Soccer sweater, she began to strip.

"Yeah… That sounds good," Kiera replied as she got up off from the floor and made her way over to her own suitcase that was a deep royal purple as she dug out a dark pair of jeans and a matching soccer sweater and got dressed as well. Finally dressed, Kiera found a hair-tie and put up her dirty blonde hair in a loose tie.

"Ready?" Jaz beamed as she finished tying her boots, the boots she had bought the other day that were for hiking since she had stepped in a puddle and wrecked her fur ones. Kiera couldn't help but smile as she looked at the less than styling boots on her friend whose parents showered her in Prada and Gucci and she was now wearing L.L. Bean. "Oh don't start on me, Key," Jaz growled mockingly as she stood up and began to stuff her pockets with her necessities which had Kiera turning around to find composure. She knew without even looking that her best friend in the whole wide world was putting her cell phone, her wallet and other essentials into her pockets. Knowing that she should probably put some things in her own pockets, she reached for her EnV3 phone, her small card holder where her driver's license and two credit cards were held in, her lighter, her keys that also had her little flashlight and her pocket knife were essential to her. Especially going outside into the unknown where anything could happen.

"Okay let's do this," Kiera murmured as she turned around once more to face her best friend and the adventure of going outside where they didn't know too well. Not to mention, the view would be entirely different from the daytime brief tour and now they were going out into the dark night with only the moon as a sliver for light. They rushed out of the room, locking the door behind them as they made their way out of the hotel, giggling and laughing all the way until they stood outside in the crisp clean air. Looking around, they could see only a couple people still outside in the small town as they were finishing up putting merchandise inside one of the cozy pubs that had a wonderful aroma coming from it with the scent of enticing food.

"So… Where to next?" Jaz said enthusiastically as she began to skip down the rocky street with not a care in the world as Kiera tagged along behind her in a half-hearted skip as she tried to remember the surrounding area. "Oh!"

"Oh! What? You scared me," Kiera startled out, as she stopped to look at her friend that looked like she had won the lottery with her clever idea.

"Let's go up onto that cliff up there. It's only gotta be about a mile or so away. We can get a good picture of the town from up there," she beamed as she made her way towards her wanted location. Kiera couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach but quenched it down, not wanting to wreck the mood with her foreboding worrywart mind.


Well this is the end of the first part. I hope you liked it. More to come - might be a evil creature of the night or something that will make you chew your nails off in dreaded anticipation... Dum dum dum...
