Yesha! Third chapter is here and pretty soon the fourth and possibly the fifth will be up soon. (maybe right after I update the third chapter and put it up.. heh) I really want to know what all of you who read it think about my story. I have gotten quite into this story and if all of you don't like it, then oh well. I will stay strong on here (super hero pose). Please read, enjoy and review.

A few instants passed and they arrived at the castle. It was indeed large, and it was also protected. The castle was pretty much like a safe house for most vampires like him. Her eyes widened a bit at how large it was, but then again, she had seen many like this, but at a farther distance. She looked up at Meier, his face expressionless. He did not look down at her at all. "Welcome to my home. By the way, I do not know your name. Would you tell it to me?" She looked away from him and back at the castle. "Masila." That was the only thing that she said, and Meier just smiled. "Thank you." Soon they were inside the castle, almost looking around it, like a tour was happening. Meier did not let Masila out of his sight, not out of fear of her doing something, but of slight protection. "Tell me, Masila. You are a vampire hunter. Are you not?" He stood a few feet from her, looking at the back of her head; almost looking through it. Her eyes widened and she turned to face him. "Why would you ask that?" She walked a little ways away from him, and then noticed that she was not far from the wall. He walked towards her, almost cornering her against the wall. "From the smell that you have. It is of many different vampire bloods." Her eyes widened a little, and she looked away from him. She wanted to move away from him so badly, but it was pretty much impossible right now. She looked back at him, sunset eyes burning. "Yes. I am, and I am here to stop you from doing anything else, which means that I am here to kill you as well." He smirked at her, and then walked away from her, and up a large flight of stairs, and then looked back at her. "If that is what you wish, then you may try, but I will also get what I want first, and that is a bride." Her eyes widened and then he disappeared, possibly into his own chambers. She just stood there watching him, and for a strange reason, her heart was beating faster than normal. It wasn't of fear, so what else could it be?
Masila had not gone to her own chambers, she only wandered around the castle. Her sunset eyes held a burning curiousity in them. A royal taste was held in many of the decorations, and the rooms that were inside. The only time when she was not walking around the building, was when she was standing in front of Meier's chambers. She would stare at the carvings on and in the door, trying to figure out what they meant, if they meant anything. Then she would ignore them and continue on her way around the castle. Every room that she looked through was more like a study, holding many names of mere mortals, mostly women, and some had the names crossed out, then there were the rooms that held maps of the lands. Then there were rooms which looked like guest rooms, but there was no furniture, besides a mirror. She could not find another room where she could rest. Rest would not come easily for her, because of the situation that she was in. Her dress had been removed, and her new attire was of the same outfit that she had appeared in at the small town.
Later on, she found herself back in front of Meier's chamber doors, and this time instead of looking at the carvings, she pushed the large doors open, and found herself gazing in awe at all that she saw. The room was magnificent; luxurious yet still holding signs of hard work in earning and creating. Her eyes roamed over everything, taking it in, and then stopping when they came upon a large black and gold coffin. She stepped over to it, and gazed at all the intricate markings on it. Her fingers caressed it gently. "You are amazed by the decorations. Am I right?" She spun around and faced Meier Link, who stood behind her. Her eyes had widened a little as she looked at him. Right now, he seemed to tower over her. Her heart was fluttering a little, and once she started to breath easier, it slowed down. He just smiled down at her, letting some vampiric charm escape. She looked away from him and back down at the coffin that her hand still rested upon. "Maybe, I am. Maybe I'm not. Why do you ask?" He just smiled some more. "I have been watching you looking at my coffin, and also at all the other decorations in my house." She looked back at him, slightly irritated by his closeness to her, and also his responses, questions and the fact that he had watched her. "You were watching me?" Her voice showed that some anger was held in it. He walked away from her, and over to a large mirror. She just watched him, confused by what he was doing. He did not have a reflection in the mirror, so why look? She stepped over to him, and stood almost next to him. "You know that you don't have a reflection, so why are you looking?" He looked down at her, after she asked the question. His crimson eyes just gazed. "Tell me, why do you take your reflection for granted? Do you think you will find your other half in the mirror?" She looked away after he asked his questions, then walked to the doors and out.
The question that he asked her still haunted her own mind and thoughts. Why did he even ask that question? She had found a place to sit down at least. Her body was leaning against the back of the chair, her sunset eyes were closed in deep thought as she contemplated why he even asked that question to her. Maybe it was a mind game. Her eyes opened a bit. Or possibly the question could have meant something deep that she didn't really know. Did she take anything else for granted? Her senses tingled for a bit. She sat up quickly, her body stiffening. She whirled around quickly and came face to face with Meier Link once more. "What... why are you here?" Meier walked closer to the chair making her stand up and once again walked towards a wall. He had her cornered once again; he could even hear her heartbeat quicken its pace as he got closer to her. "What else do you take for granted, little Masila?" Once she was pinned against the wall, he put both hands on either sides of her, making the place for escape impossible right now. She just watched him, a slight glare in her eyes, as she looked into his crimson ones. "Why do you want to know?" He smiled at her slightly. "You are tired. Rest now." He walked away from her, leaving her alone to herself once more. "I will be out for the rest of tonight, you may rest in my room. There is a bed that you may sleep in." After that said he walked out of the room and left the safe house. She walked out of the room a few moments after he and made her way carefully to the room. Even though she was indeed tired she was still cautious about what she did and where she went. Once she got back to the room, she saw the bed, and walked over to it. Her fingers caressed the clothe gently, feeling that it was mostly like silk. She sighed softly and fell onto the bed, letting the hands of sleep guide her.
