Chapter 3: Approaching the Castle
April's mind was racing. It only just occurred to her that she knew nothing about the man, except that he was a scientist, he wears women's clothes, and his name is Frank. Oh yeah, and he is hot! April thought to herself. The drive to the castle gave her time to take a better look at Frank. Despite the makeup, she was not complaining. The minimal clothing he wore allowed April to see everything. She kept looking at him throughout almost all of the ride to the castle, which April now knew existed, because its outline was beginning to appear in her window. For a moment, April forgot about the fear pumping through her heart and the stinging nervousness that ran through her very blood. She gaped at the gothic European-looking building. It looked as though it could have belonged to Dracula in Transylvania.
When April realized that the pickup had stopped, the fear came back, hitting her hard, like a brick. She had left everything she knew for what? The complete and utter unknown.
Frank was apparently aware, to some extent, anyway, of how nervous April was. "You'll be fine, darling." He whispered in her ear, before brushing his glossed lips against April's cheek. Before April could question Frank's action, he looked at her smugly and replied to her silent question "Don't worry about it, darling. I know you want it. Everyone does. You ready?" April nodded, with a relatively quiet "mmm hmmm." She was still somewhat shocked at having been kissed by a transvestite.
The walk from the driveway to the main entrance seemed to take forever. It was exceptionally long, but April's over-filled mind made it worse. Was Frank the only one who lived in the castle? If not, what would the others be like? Would they be as strange as Frank? Stranger? And, what would they think of her? Well, all her questions were to be answered shortly.
A/N
Sorry for the short chapter, but believe me that it's for the best. I have the story on paper, but it's chapter-less. I put in chapter breaks where they work. I'll have the next chapter up as soon as possible. Remember to write reviews. I love them, whether they beg me to post the next chapter or give me ideas how to make my writing better (aka CONSTRUCTIVE criticism). Hope everyone loved the chapter.
