Chapter 2

Melissa waved halfheartedly at the departure of Marian Goldenberg. Everything had happened so fast, the death of her family and suddenly being the child of a man whom she practically knew nothing about.

So she decided to ask a few questions "Are you rich?" Vlad answered promptly, "Yes, I am a billionaire."

"Cool…does that mean you're married with children?"

Vlad was slightly taken back and replied, "No, unfortunately I have been single all my adult life…" Then his cat named Maddie also started to rub up against his leg "with a cat."

Melissa instantly lightened up at the sight of the overweight, ivory colored feline, and picked her up and began to pet her affectionately. Maddie instantly approved of this invading human female.

The recently orphaned teenager stated, "I never had any pets before, my mom was allergic to cats and my brother was practically allergic to everything…,"

She faced her legal guardian, "What's her name?" "The cat's name is Maddie. Now come I want to give you a tour of the premises."

Meanwhile at the Manson residence…

"DANNY! Will you stop messing with the remote! Some of us are actually watching the entire movie not just one scene over and over." Sam complained.

Danny laughed, "Come on Sam, lighten up."

Tucker added, "Yeah, Sam, but you have to admit the computer graphics in this one scene alone are awesome!"

Sam sighed and continued to watch the movie.

At the Master's mansion…

"…and this room right here will be your bedroom." Vlad said in conclusion to the long tour.

Melissa was in awe; the room was easily twice as big as her old room and it certainly did not have a huge bathroom attached to it either with a huge Jacuzzi bathtub.

As she plopped on the bed she remembered something, "Where will I be going to school?"

Vlad sat next to her and said, "You will be going to the local Casper High School." "Is it public or private?" "It is a public high school."

Melissa groaned, all of her life she had been going to private schools so she was a little apprehensive about going to a public school for the first time in her life.

Vlad did not respond to her obvious distress he got up and said, "I have an important matter to attend to so I will leave you to adjust to your new room.

Well that is all I have rewritten so far!! The next chapter's will be up before I move into my dorm room I PROMISE!!!
