IMMORTAL
Chloe Fanel
Chapter One - FEAR
The silvery pale moon stood quivering in the winter's mist. Somehow it seemed frail, faltering, that one would think that it would suddenly vanish into the deepening darkness. The large imposing medieval castle, which in the clear nights stood like an invincible guard was nothing more than a blurred silhouette of shifting shadows. Shadows... Yes, there was nothing more than shadows lurking in the boundless darkness that night offered. The caretaker scrambled toward the wooden castle gates, carefully avoiding the dark alleys. He suddenly fell out of balance when he reached it. A cold wind blew... carrying a soft haunting voice. Don't leave me... please don't leave me... Startled, the old man paused then glanced behind him. There was nothing... there was not a single thing but the deserted castle of the mythical Princes Hitome. He gripped his staff tighter, slowly retreating from the castle without tearing his eyes from it. After all, no shadow could whisper such desperate comprehensible words like the one he heard. And certainly, no wind could chill him deep down to his very soul. Gathering all his strength, he fearfully scuttled towards his rusty old wagon and drove towards the village. The villagers were right this place really is haunted! I don't want to be alone... Van, where are you?
