A/N-See Chapter One for Disclaimer, and thanks for my reviews! Keep 'em coming!
Chapter 2
Sage sat in the back of the covered wagon, watching as Dracula commanded the skeletal horses without touching the reins. For the first time, she noticed his long, light blond hair. She also noticed the dignity in which he made every motion and in which he sat and spoke. Ifit wasn't for the hatred she felt for him threatening her family, she wouldhave found him quite handsome.
"Are you comfortable, Sage?" he called over his shoulder.
"Why would you care?" she hissed back at him.
He laughed and did not reply.
"Where are we headed, demon?" she asked after a moment's silence.
"You will refer to me as Master Dracula or merely Master, girl. Keep in mind that I do not have to honor your agreement."
"Yes, Master," she replied, defeated.
"We are going to Castlevania. This is my home as it will become yours. You may be my servant, but it is my wish that you get used to the castle as if it were your own."
The path they were on was very rocky, and the carriage— despite this— was moving very fast. It was also almost constantly swerving to avoid the numerous trees.
"Why are we going so fast?" Sage called to the front.
"It is almost sunrise!" the Dark Prince called back.
Sunrise, thought Sage, then it is true. Sun is a vampire's undoing.
"Get no ideas, young one, for you will never find my resting place."
"You can read a mortal's mind?"
"Why do you think it is so simple for me to manipulate them?"
"You are a terrible creature!"
He laughed again. He must've found this all amusing, but Sage just didn't see how.
"Here!" Dracula yelled, pointing ahead of him.
Sage looked. A tall, dark castle stood before them, drawbridge down. The horses lost no speed in crossing it. Once beyond the wall guarding the evil castle, the horses stopped very abruptly. Dracula stepped down and walked to the back to help Sage down.
"Allow me," he said, his hand out for her bag.
"I can carry it myself, Master," Sage replied.
"Very well, allow me to show you to your room then," he replied, starting off inside the castle.
End Notes: Sorry so short. This was just to tell about the journey to the castle. Next chapter should be somewhat longer, but I don't know when I will be able to type it. But hold out hope, it will come.
