On top of that she's going to College and she's majoring in History. Her teacher is named Professor Vlad, all of the college girls are drooling over their professor, since he's single, but Crystal isn't. Professor Vlad finds it odd that Crystal isn't falling for him, whom the girls he has come to known always did. He takes a certain interest in her and learns about her (likes, dislikes, etc.). When they first meet Crystal doesn't do any physical contact with him, so when he greets her by shaking her hand she rejects it. Vlad watches her and realizes she flinches whenever the opposite sex touches her or, which makes him wonder why she does this. Also Vlad is hosting a masquerade and Crystal being dateless Vlad asks her if she would accompony him to it, but Crystal declines since he's her Professor and she wouldn't want to 'cause attention to herself or to him...also for another reason. Will Vlad be able to break through her barrier that keeps her from everyone else? Will Crystal be able to handle keeping her secret to herself without doing something drastice? Please R&R.

Introduction/ Characters

Crystal Sanetia is a smart, caring, non-judger, trusting, very talented, attractive, athletic, faithful person that you could ever meet in the whole Transylvania village. Everyone in Transylvania believed that Crystal was like a Saint to them, and she was, well almost. Crystal was the answer to all of their prayers. Crystal was a giver to those who needed it the most. She was a friend to everyone and helped her friends out when they were in a situation, young…or old. Everyone looked up to her; even her parents looked up to her, for her great advice (which mostly turned out as a good thing). She was also very wise for her age; she was a teacher to her nine younger siblings, and taught them everything she knew in her life.

Crystal was a helper to her homeland. She would help out at her Church weather it involved singing to the old to taking out and putting back in the books for the citizens. She would help the elders in the nursery homes reading to them to the dirty chores. She would help around her house and the village picking up the trash and when people started to see this, they followed her example and Transylvania was a healthy place to live. Not once had anyone ever heard her complain about anything. (A/n: Yes isn't she a goody-too-shoes? ).

Crystal's house was like a castle that was able to have a grand party for the whole village. Each of the children had their own rooms. Each of the kids' room represented their kind of personality. That way if any of their friends came over they would know which room were their's, plus if they didn't know which one it was they could just see the child's name on their front door. Each of the name panels had a little picture of them. The house sat near the edge of the town where it could still be seen if you saw it in the Carpathian Mountains.

Crystal's beauty was very elegant, but just because of her exquisite body doesn't mean that she was a spoiled child, she was a kind child and was able to do any of the hard work if she wanted to, which she did. Her parents realized how strong she was when she was at age 9. Her parents found this out when they were moving to Transylvania from Russia and unloaded their furniture and saw that their only child, so far, was able to lift a medium size sofa that was at least 3 times heavy than her. Crystal had brown mocha skin color, like her mother's. She had jet-black layered strait hair that went all the way down to her waist. She had the most intriguing eyes that nobody had in her town; nobody, not even the gypsies or any of her family members had them. She had two different eye colors on both side, her left eye was blue and her right eye was green. She was talented and if you gave her a problem, she would look outside of the box. She was talented she made her own music at the age of 6 back home in Russia. In singing she was spectacular. Crystal also had a well fit body that had a feminine beauty to it. With her figure this was making all the single men, and some married men (a/n: that part didn't end well though), wanting her so badly that there would be a knock on the door in the middle of the night just to ask if they could get her hand in marriage. Each of the men would get the same answer from Crystal's father, "Kid, do you have any bloody idea what time it is?" they would always give him the same answer, "well yes sir, I know," or something like that. After that they would have the door slammed in their faces. Crystal could remember that there was a man that stayed there the whole entire night and just waited at the door, that man that stayed there the whole entire night just so he could prove his love to Crystal. As much as Crystal was touched she still said no, but did let him come inside of her home to get warm so he wouldn't be killed by the dead cold air outside.

Her parents, Cynthia and Jason, were proud of her of what she has accomplished throughout her life so far and not once did her family second-doubted her. She was a daughter, a friend, a teacher, an angel. Crystal wasn't the only person that people in town loved, the whole Sanetia family was adored; each of them had a special talent beyond their years. Her siblings loved talking, learning, and hang out with their older sister. Crystal also got to learn from them about cool new facts that she didn't even know. There was Courtney (age 13), Christopher (age 10), Delilah (age 9), Charlie (age 7), Tony (age 6), Phillip (age 4), Lavender (age 3), Christina (age 2), and the youngest, William (unborn yet). Her Siblings would always be waiting at the foot of the stairs waiting for their older sister to return and bring them food and on some occasions they would get a gift, especially when it was one of their birthday's then they would all get presents, but that was until their parents would send them to bed, since it was way past their bedtime.

Cynthia was gorgeous with her wavy brown, with her mocha skin tone, and her black eyes that had a twinkle in them when the moon was up. She was a respected mother, a fabulous singer, a good cook, and a clean and refreshed person, but wasn't too much of as a tidy freak.

Jason was a very handsome man, was one of the most handsome man in Transylvania, almost. Jason had blonde strait hair, with tan skin, and sapphire eyes that made him look so sexy, that was one of the things that Cynthia loved about him, plus his personality.

Cynthia and Jason had always wanted a big family and she got it. They were "High-School-Sweethearts" (a/n: awww…) and was the queen and king for their school at the prom. After high school, they went to the same college and still were lovers. They were inseparable throughout their lives. They were each other soul mates. They were loyal to each other and devoted. In high school, everyone knew they were lovers from the moment that they sat next to each other, all the boys and girls knew, even the teachers knew, Jason and Cynthia always were together, if Jason was out of class earlier than Cynthia. He would always wait by the door that she had class in and he would be waiting right there for her, or would be at her locker, or vise-versa. Even though they weren't popular, they were both known throughout the school. They were so compassionate with each other that other people around them envied that type of a relationship.

Courtney was a nice girl, but she was more of a "doom-and-gloom" kind of girl. She had blonde strait hair, but since she was a "doom-and-gloom" kind of gal she had black highlights. She would always were black eyeliner, she looked strange with it, yet attractive, plus, with her sapphire eyes she could get boys following her around, and she did, about six were following her, but more like stalking, and she was only thirteen yeas old. She was dark and mysterious to everyone even to her family, but that was how she liked it. Her siblings would always try to make her become happier, but she like being gloomy. She was completely the opposite of her family, she never played, but she would usually be in her room playing that piano and coming with new songs for her older sister. Crystal never really liked that Courtney was doing this for her, and when she played them to her friends and family Courtney didn't want to be getting the attention from her great work, she would always let her older sister take the credit. One day Crystal finally told Courtney that she wasn't going to learn them if she kept on giving her the credit for something she didn't do. Courtney finally agreed to take the credit and started to present them to her family to tell them that she has been writing the music and for that she was now in advanced piano lessons by the age of seven. Her music had the depressing feeling to it, but when she showed it to one of her sisters, Lavender, when she wouldn't go to bed she offered to play the piano for her and she immediately went to sleep when she started hearing the chorus of it. Her parents finally got Lavender on a regular schedule, and that was if she didn't go to bed when it was 12:00 midnight Courtney would wake up and play this for her, which worked every single time. Courtney's room was dark and her room sort of gave it that eerie look to it, it was in the atmosphere as well. Courtney was never really fond of bright colors so she always wore black and that was her main color in her wardrobe. The people in the village were shocked to see that her parents didn't mind it at all, in fact they actually encourage her to do whatever she wanted, but if they told her if she started to do voodooing on the villagers and any of the family members, she would be in trouble and give her the worst torture they thought of, and that was to put her in a bright sunny room where there was nothing but happy furniture which was so not her forte on this, she would scream at this if she ever done that, she never did any voodooing after she learned the punishment was like hell for her. She was pretty darn smart in her classes, especially in History. She found history exhilarating. Her favorite quote that she got from her history teacher, who she secretly had a little crush on, but never admitted it. The only person who knew her little secret was her older sister, since Crystal was very good at keeping secrets, (a/n: now back to Courtney's favorite quote it was) "if we do not remember history, we are condemned to repeat it." She taught Crystal a lot about history and the wars that have happened in the past. One of Courtney's facts were about Count Dracula, she taught Crystal about his past and say how he lived Transylvania and was an excellent warrior in battle and died and gave his soul to the devil making him turn into a vampire and told her about the folklores about this man. Even though Dracula was a killer, Crystal secretly had a crush on him, but never admitted it. (a/n: hmmmmmmmm…..I wander what will happen)

(Sorry for making Courtney seem like an important character, but she just has a lot of information for me to give to you, or in this case Crystal)

Christopher, another sibling to Crystal, had Blonde wavy hair, with tan skin, and his black eyes were gorgeous, if you looked into them you could see that it was like a never ending hole. Christopher is ten years old right now. Christopher was in love with cooking, he learned cooking form both of his parents. He was very good at cooking, thanks to his parents for teaching him. Christopher's room was a medium size room, but the best thing that he loved was that it was right next to the kitchen, so that he could make something whenever he felt like it, his parents trusted him enough to do it by himself, with at least some help from their servants, to keep him company and make sure that there's no smoke that will occur, except the smoke coming from the oven and isn't flaring anywhere else. Christopher usually made the meals, but when he was tired, not bored, but simply tired, he would have his parents make the meal. Even though Christopher was a great chef, he still wasn't as good as his parents, but he loved the competition in the air, especially in the kitchen.

Delilah very lady-like, but was placed in second 'cause Crystal was the first one, but that didn't matter to her. Crystal's politeness and elegances got Delilah to become what she is now. Some people think that she was Minnie-Crystal, her nickname in the village was actually "Minnie-Crystal," which she liked being called that. Crystal tried to get Delilah to stop doing what she was doing and just act like herself, Delilah loved her for this, and she did followed her own dreams, but she still acted like a lady. Delilah followed her own dream, which was taking care of animals in the forest. Delilah wasn't allowed to go once the sunset went down or whenever the sun was not shinning. Delilah always wondered why, but didn't want to question her parents or her older sister.

Charlie had blonde strait hair, black eyes, and auburn skin. He was devoted just like Crystal he also helped around the neighborhood and he was only seven yeas old. Charlie had a normal room, but the only thing that was way different was that Charlie used less recourse in his room, showing that he did care about the world. He had two goldfishes named Skittles and Sparky. He had a small tree plant outside of his balcony. Also, he didn't use that much lighting for his room giving a very dim room, but if it helps the environment, he'll do it.

Tony had brown strait hair, he had tan-like skin .. He had sapphire eyes, and when he was up to something you could tell when because you could always see a twinkle in his eyes, making his parents stopping him before he would do it, with of course the help from Crystal telling her mother, but that was rarely. Now being at age 6 he can go over his tantrums, but he can be easily persuaded if you give him a piggy-back ride, give him a cookie, and do the Peter Panda Dance (a/n: yes, I added that in there from The Pacifier…hehehe). Nobody in the village knows how to work that little trick, except for Crystal and their parents, Cynthia and Jason. With the Peter Panda Dance in Tony's mind all he could do was dance, in doing so, Tony got into dance lessons learning how to dance to the old dancing ways to the normal dancing and he did excellent on break dancing, although, Tony preferred the Waltz, he even showed Crystal how to dance. For a little boy he was a gentleman at a very young age, which was rare to see in Transylvania.

Lavender had blonde hair that was wavy that went to her shoulders. Also, she had light tan skin with black eyes. She was full of laughter and energy. Even if it was way past her bed-time she would stay up and play in her own room where her parents made, especially for her, so she would never get bored, but when it reached 12:00 midnight and she was still up, she had to go to bed, since she was three years old. Her mom would sing to her so that she would fall asleep, which she usually did go to sleep right after her mom sang her first song. Cynthia (the mom) remembered that one night she didn't go to sleep until she sang her 10th song to her. Since Courtney was now playing the piano to Lavender as a lullaby, her mother didn't need to sing anymore to her, but that didn't mean that her mother stopped singing to her, Cynthia was always ask to accompany Courtney to get Lavender to sleep. Cynthia would sing to her while Courtney played the piano, but when her mother did sing to her, Lavender wanted to sing too, just like her mother did, so she took singing lessons and would join with Courtney, her mom, and Crystal singing. Lavender was a soprano just like her mom, although Crystal was an alto, but they all managed to play duets. When they sang it was like the gates of St. Peter was opening to them, and it was lovely.

And last of all in the Sanetia family, there's William. William is the unborn son, but Cynthia and Jason know that he is a boy. He's expected to be in June. Till then, the parents were getting ready for their sons arrival. They had already finished the painting and putting in furniture so all they had to do was to wait, patiently, for their son to be born. Although, the mother had a lot of mood swings, one minute she is all happy and giddy then the next she is just plain prissy. One day their father was about to crack and get mad because Cynthia told Jason to get her some banana bread ingredients, but got some different ingredient. The kids had to actually go run upstairs to get Crystal to try to calm him down before the couple started ripping each other's throat out. Luckily, Crystal was able to calm her parents down, and they ended having a make-out session right in front of Crystal. She had to leave the room and shut the door.

Life was good for Crystal and nothing could stop her…or so she thinks.

Well you're now caught with the family now moving
