Trolly's Bara-chan – Ah yes the infamous "love at first sight". Though, I don't think they are quite "in love" yet. The fact Vlad doesn't look like Vlad helps too, I'm sure.
Lord Shokku Raijuu - ^w^
SS-Penguin – Nope owo but there will be fighting.
jeanette9a – haha Yes w I think Vlad forgot about that little detail.

Chapter 4 – Danny and the Dreams
My head was spinning. I remembered the last few weeks, and getting along so well with Vlad. But now, all of that had seemed more like a nightmare. There was no reason to like Vlad. And yet, this Vlad was scarier, but still nicer in a strange way. Possibly because his disfigurement was caused by his own mistake rather than my father. That, and he didn't know my mom, and therefore has never flirted with her. But I still felt like I was liking him too fast. I was trying to make him fall in love with me, not the other way around. I felt myself get nervous around him. I felt myself wanting to be near him. My heart seemed to flutter while I talked to him, and yet...
I stared at the ceiling for an hour lost in my thoughts. I couldn't afford to fall in love with Vlad. But I had to in order to get out of the story. I had always thought I liked Sam, but that was nothing here. Sam wouldn't even look at me, and it didn't hurt.
I thought about the Vlad from my universe, and felt nothing. I still hated him. But with the Vlad from this universe I felt like I was falling in love. It was stronger than anything I felt for Sam. With her it felt a little exiting, but with this Vlad It felt like a roller coaster. I felt sad that when this was over I would never see this Vlad.
The next morning, Vlad had Martha make breakfast, and we sat at the table with happy conversation. I looked occasionally to the window. Snow fell endlessly. I didn't think that I would be leaving anytime soon.
"Are you worried? I know the snowfall looks heavy, but there isn't much we can do."
"N-no, that's not it. It's just..." I sighed. "I'm still kinda sleepy."
"Is the bed uncomfortable? Do you have enough blankets?" Vlad seemed worried.
"No! no." I laughed. "I've just been having weird dreams. I mean, it's not every week you get locked in an enchanted castle with a beast." I felt bad as Vlad winced as I said beast. I hadn't meant it as an insult. "It's still the most exiting thing that has ever happened to me."
He gave me a weak smile.
I curled up under the blankets. I longed for the electric heater that was back in my room. My real room. Maybe later I would have to sneak down and sleep in front of the fire. Still, my room was freakishly cold.
"Hello Phantom."
I shot up. "You! You!"
"Me." Desiree put her hands on her chest. She then set them to her sides."It was hard finding you. After all, this castle is rather large. And though I am still a ghost, I lost many of my powers."
"Wait, so you remember?"
"Of course phantom. I thought I would only drag you and Vlad into this stupid story, but no. It backfired and dragged everyone you know. Ghost and otherwise. " She sighed. "most of them have the memories of the book characters. Hence why your father was a crazy inventor, who had no concerns of ghosts. I have been looking in the library for hints on how to break the spell. But there are no hints. Sending me into the thermos is regrettably the only way to restore things. And as reluctant as I am to let you, it's the only way for me to regain my powers." She stared at me for a second.
"I don't have it."
"What?" She moved to grab me, instead falling through and hitting the window. "Ugh, now what are we supposed to do?"
"Finish the story. Something has to happen." I looked out the window. More snow. Was this in the story?
I woke up in the middle of the night. It was dark, and colder than usual. I lit a candle that I had on one of the tables. I was too awake and cold to sleep. I stepped out into the regal hall and watched as the candlelight was swallowed up by the darkness. I walked down the hall, looking for something to do. Vlad had said I could head to the library any time I wanted to read. I wandered the halls, curious, and wary. I found myself at a pair of large decorative doors I had never seen before. It was definitely not the library. I opened the doors, in a surreal moment of no control. I saw something glowing at the end of the hall. Could it have been an enchanted rose? As I neared the object I soon recognized it as a mirror. There was no rose in sight. I hadn't been told there were any restrictions in places I could go. I heard soft footsteps behind me. I turned around to face Vlad the Beast. His horns looked larger in the dark, and his eyes almost glowed. He didn't look angry.
"Are you having troubles sleeping?" His voice was so calm.
"A little. Weird dreams. I was looking for the library, but I got curious. The castle is so big."
"Yes, and I have spent almost 50 years here. " Vlad looked longingly to the window. "Tomorrow it will be."
"The witch..." I murmured.
"What?" Vlad looked at me, surprised.
"Oh, nothing." I smiled. I looked back to the mirror. "What's this thing?"
"That. Is a mirror." He smirked. "It is magic. It allows me to see the outside world." He stepped closer. "Do you want to see how it works?" I smiled.
So, I got back into writing, and this chapter ended up shorter than I hoped. The next will be a little bit longer.
