Chapter 4 - W h e r e A m I?
What's happened? Oh dear! Haru's fainted...and at the worst time! Now, in the hands of this mysterious man, what will happen to her, and will escape his clutches... alive?

"Elma. Make sure to follow my directions."
"Yes, my lord."

Haru awoke with a start, sitting up immediately. She held a hand to her head, which was throbbing right at the moment. "What... happened?" she said quietly as she observed her surroundings.
She was in a dark room, and the only light was a candle on a table in the corner of the room, and the moonlight pouring in through an open window. "Where... am I?" she said to herself.
Wait... what am I wearing?
She was wearing a white nightgown. It looked eerie in the moonlight coming into the room.
She scooted to the edge of the bed. It was a canopy bed, and the blankets were a deep red.
You see, Haru wasn't really the "waking up" type. She was... a little slow at remembering things when she woke up.
As she grew more alert and awake, slowly, the happenings of the night before came back to her. She hopped off the bed and dashed to a mirror on the other side of the bed, and peered at the reflection that occupied the mirror.
Everything... looked normal.
Wait, what am I fussing about? Vampires don't exist, real simple. He's not a vampire..
Wait, maybe it had all been a dream. Yes.. A dream. A very realistic, strange dream.. But how did that explain where she was? She didn't know.
She looked at the pupils of her eyes, as well. They looked normal, as well. But then she noticed something. She pulled down the collar of the nightgown, and noticed... two marks on her neck. They were scabs now, but... where did they come from?
She frantically looked at the mirror once more. Everything else seemed perfectly normal. She remembered something she had heard in fairytales about vampires. But that was a long time ago. Even so, she remembered that their reflections didn't appear in mirrors. Hers did.
"Are you Haru?" said a gentle voice. Haru spun around. There was a woman standing there... a very... transparent woman. Haru could see the moonlight reflecting right through her. The woman was watching her, with curiosity.
"W-Who are you?" Haru stammered.
"I am Elma. I am somewhat of a housekeeper here."
"Oh."
The woman walked over to the bed, and sat down. "Come sit with me, dear."
Haru hesitated. She didn't know this woman, nor did she know if she could trust her.
"I won't hurt you. Come here."
Doing what Elma asked, she walked over, and sat down next to her. When she did, she noticed that the area around Elma was slightly colder than everywhere else.
"So... you said that you're a housekeeper? Here...?" asked Haru curiously. Unfortunately, she didn't know where here was. "Yes. I clean... and dust things. What I'm told to do. Also, if you were wondering, I'm the one who dressed you, dear."
Haru could feel her cheeks turning hot.
"Your clothes are over there," said Elma, pointing to a chair. And there they were, nicely folded and sitting on the chair.
"Thank you," said Haru, walking over and picking up he clothes. "It was nice to be acquainted with you," Elma replied with a smile, "Also. Lord Krad will be expecting you at dinner. Please mind your manners."
Haru nodded. "Okay."
With that, Elma walked out. Or... went through the door. Literally.
"Lord Krad?" Haru echoed. She looked at her clothes. "Well, better get dressed."

After she was dressed, Haru walked out, into the hallway. It was dark... and quiet.
But she wasn't going to dinner. She had decided that she was going to escape from here... it seemed safer if she didn't stay here.
But which way would she go? She wasn't familiar with this place, and she didn't know her way around. Most likely, she would get lost. But, being as stubborn as she was, she went down the hallway.
"No use staying there."
While she walked, she noticed many doors, leading to who knows where.
She walked... and walked... and, well, walked. But she found no exit. She stopped, and sighed. "It's no use...I'll never find my way out this way. But I can't stay here.."
She didn't feel like just standing in an empty, eerie, dark hallway for who knows how long. So, she decided to press on. As she rounded the corner, she bumped into someone, letting out an "Oof!"
She looked up to see who it was, and golden eyes met hers.
Krad!
