Chapter 5: The Beginning

At the first signs of dawn Tara scurried out of the castle and rode her horse, Callista. The went to talk to the elderly couple, as not to be rude, but as soon as she got done, she rushed to old barn and began to set up the ladder. But, as she began to climb her legs began to give out. Thankfully, she caught herself with her arms. She was about to try again when she heard a noise in the bushes. When she looked into them her heart just about stopped. Oh no! I completely forgot about the werewolves! So she had no choice but to climb. But, to her great surprise, it didn't follow.

Tara walked passed the large creature and through the barn to the old couple's house. They greeted her with their normal kindness and offered her some lunch which she reluctantly turned down. It smelled wonderful! But, she remembered the queasiness from before and went to get Callista.

She high tailed it back to the castle but before she got there, Tara came across the snow blanketed flat-lands and couldn't resist the change to have some fun. Callista snorted in disapproval, but Tara paid it no mind and kept making the large snowball she had just started making. Then she made a second, smaller snowball and put it on top of the first. Then she did the same to a third. Afterward, Tara made a face out of a few rocks and two arms made of sticks. Callista neighed with, what seemed like, laughter! Tara herself had to smile.

After her little snowman extravaganza, she decided to make a quick snow angel before she went back. She got down on the ground and began to move her arms and legs to and fro. Her horse just looked at her as if the were mad and shook her finely groomed head. Just then Tara began to feel really nauseous. Right before she black out she saw Callista rush over and lift her up with her strong teeth.

She blinked a couple of times and then opened her eyes fully. Even then all er eyes could focus on was the angry yet sad expression of the one and only, her captor, Dracula. She simply black out again.
