Hello!
Disclaimer: I OWN ALL OF IT! AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (starts getting beaten
with a stick) Ow! Ow! Ow! (growls) fine. I only own Casey. And the
Count, but nobody can know that.

"My dear, you are shaking, are you cold?" My eyes are closed, and I reply in a
rather shaky voice.
"No, I am not cold, I am just deathly afraid of heights." As we continue our
decention of the stairs, I silently berate myself for feeling so comfortable around him.
"That was the last step, you may open your eyes now." So he did notice. I open
my eyes and breath a sigh of relief. Finally, no more steps. He leads me to what I assume
is the dining area, though it looks as though it hasn't been used recently. Everything is
cold grey stone.
In the middle of the room is a fairly large table with a few chairs sitting around it.
On that are some silver trays with fruits and veggies, and three place settings of silver.
He pulls out the chair to the right of the one at the head of the table, and I sit
down. He then sits down himself.
"Igor, please sit down." I didn't notice him there before. I watch as he disappears
below the table. If I sit up as tall as I can, I can just see the top of his black hood.
"No, in the chair." Igor stands.
"Oh, thank you sir." The Count looks back to me. I say a prayer of thanks out of
habit, then simply fold my hands in my lap.
"Feel free to serve yourself, you must be starving." I look down at my hands.
"I am very hungry," I look up at him. "but I have no appetite." I turn my gaze
back to my hands, feeling almost ashamed, for some reason.
"That's fine. Just make yourself a plate of food for when you do get hungry." I
nod, but just sit there.
There are so many questions running through my mind, I don't know where to
start. I start by just sifting through them all.
I must have spent more time thinking than I thought I did, for when I look up,
both of them are finished eating.
I move the bowl from my plate, and arrange apple slices, blackberries,
blueberries, and raspberries on it. I don't know where he got them, and I don't really care.
There are more pressing matters on my mind at the moment.
"Why did you bring me here, what purpose do I serve you? He looks at me for a
moment, then stands.
"I believe it would be better to discuss this topic in my library." He pulls out my
chair. I stand, and follow him.
"Just shout if you need anything, master!"
I follow him to his library. It is a fairly large room with a few chairs and a lounge
sofa.
"Make yourself comfortable." I walk slowly over to the sofa, sit down, and bring
my knees up to my chest. He sits in the chair across from me, looking altogether too
comfortable and smug with his position. "Here I will answer all of your questions that I
am able to."
"First of all," I raise one finger of my left hand, "what is your full name?"
"Count Vladimir Dracula."
"So this would be refered to as Dracula's Castle, am I right?"
"Yes, you are right."
"Second question," I put up another finger. "Why did you bring me here, what
purpose do I serve you?"

loved! I command it!
