Chapter 1
Keira and her family were on their way to one of her favourite places to have a vacation. A castle! Wendy, Keira's mom announced that they were almost there. Keira was 16, had long blond hair and blue eyes. She loved castles and had a thing for wearing black. Keira and her family had come all the way from Canada to England, first by plane then by rental car. It was a long journey but they had finally arrived.
Keira got out of the car and stared up at the castle. It had lots of windows on every single wall. Most of which were peeling severely. The walls were made of stone. The front door was made of metal and probably took a lot of effort to open. Luckily they would be able to go in by a small, and much lighter, side door. Keira proceeded to walk up the steps and around the side to the side door. Keira's dad, Jack smiled at her and said, "Hey, why don't we see how it looks on the inside." He then opened the door and the family stepped inside. Gerid, Keira's brother, decided he was going exploring and headed off to the left of the long hall they were standing in. Keira decided she'd like to check out this awesome place too and went in the opposite direction.
Keira came across the dining room and decided to explore it first because it looked intriguing. She walked in and looked in astonishment at the diamond chandelier where it hung from the ceiling. The chandelier was quite large and had the diamonds suspended under each of the little candles. It was quite spectacular and, Keira thought, quite expensive. Then she looked at the chairs around the long dining room table. Each of them was made with rich mahogany wood and was very intricately carved. On the left hand was a lovely painting. It appeared to be a portrait of a, obviously royal, family that must have lived here many years ago. What was odd about it was there appeared to be no king and the queen had meatball shaped things in her hair.
