Author's Note: Well, I seem to be updating more on schedule lately which is good. Next week I only have a day and a half of school so it'll be a whole lot easier for me to finish writing and typing up to the rest of my story but do not fear since I have a long way to go regarding my posts/updates. I just mean that I'll be done writing and typing all of my rough draft. But anyway, enough that, please read and review!
She looked into the mirror. In front of her was an older woman with brown eyes and dark chocolate brown hair. This wasn't her now but later. It had to be. She recognized similarities to her mother's appearance as well as her fathers. She looked down to see that she was wearing a blood red velvet dress.
Soon she heard a dark, mysterious, leering voice whisper in her ear, to me…we could have such a history together…we belong."
Noticing no one behind her in the mirror, she turned around to look at who at who it was but the dream had ended.
She had awoken.
"Emma? Are you sick?" Abe said trying to check his sister's forehead.
"I'm fine," Emma said brushing his hand away, "Now, shh! We don't want our Uncle to hear!"
"You've gone mad!" Abe exclaimed.
Carl then let out a huge snore from the sofa he was sleeping on. Anna and Gabriel needed to run some errands in town and left him in charge. Of course, he told them to play and stay indoors while he was supposedly studying.
"Emma," Abe wined.
"C'mon. Let's go to the library." She took his hand in one of hers while the other carried the book she had found the previous day as well as the ring and paper.
Once they got there, Emma closed the door and led her brother to the desk.
"What is it now?" he exclaimed.
"I was doing some reading and I found out something."
"What?" Abraham asked.
"This piece of paper is part of a bigger map of our homeland of Transylvania."
"How'd you know that?"
"The book, silly. And look," she turned a few pictures to a bigger map.
"Yeah. So?" Abe sniffed.
"See for yourself," she said looking up to the wall across from them. It was covered with a huge map of Transylvania and one part of a corner was missing."
"Oh my," Abraham said.
"I know. Supposedly, this is a door leading to Dracula's Castle."
"You mean the one that's the one mum and dada and Carl told us about."
"Yeah and if you put the piece there it's suppose to work."
"Emma-."
"What surprised me were the notes in Carl's hand writing I found. It says that a ring, this one, causes even a greater effect. The inscription on it is Latin for "In the name of God, open the door."
"Wow."
"Yeah," Emma didn't understand why but her mind her mind was going back to memories of that ackward dream she had had the night before.
"Emma?"" Abe whispered.
"Umm…yeah?" Emma said waking up from her reverie.
"You okay?"
"Just thinking."
"About what?"
"Nothing."
"That's dumb."
Sighing, Emma said, "Look Abe, I was thinking. Do you want to go with me to the Castle?"
Abe gasped, "You cannot be serious."
"Look, it's old, abandoned, and might have clue's to our family's past."
"Emma. We shouldn't. What if mom and dad…"
"We'll be back before they come back home. Now do you want to go or not."
"Em-."
"It's good you're wearing a sweater since it can be very cold over there according to Carl's notes, you know since it's up in the mountains and all."
Emma got up and reached for a small bag that she would use to carry some things. Carl had mentioned that he had brought some crosses and holy water when he went there. Emma didn't understand why but I guess that for an unfamiliar territory you should follow the rules.
She put the book in the bag and took out a chain. She placed the ring in it and closed it like a necklace around her neck.
"I have a few things like rope and weapons if trouble comes."
"Em-you can't."
Emma placed the bag over her shoulder.
"I also have snacks," she said advancing to the map. She leaned down and took out the paper from her pocket.
"EMMA!" Abe yelled.
"In the name of God," Emma started, "open this door."
She stood back and nothing happened.
"Hmph," she said. "Bloody thing."
All of the sudden the map began to fade away and a translucent glass mirror appeared.
"Or maybe it does work after all."
She reached her hand forward as her brother watched in fear. She smiled and walked through disappearing from the room.
"Emma! Ugh!" little Abe said running after her and going through the portal door with his Teddy.
