In the Castle library Gothetta was looking over several books trying to keep her mind occupied. She sadly didn't find anything.
Why would she be doing this you may ask. Well it was all because of all the craziness that had taken place in the castle the last couple of days and that she was still looking for that mysterious purple haired young man that had caught her eye the other night.
She was so confused as to how this one human was able to find a seemingly permanent spot on her mind. There had to be a reason. Sadly none of the books that she had gathered, on diverse subjects, had given her an answer.
"Ugh, this book doesn't have the answer either. There must be something I'm not seeing. Perhaps something about the flower he gave me could give me a clue." said Gothetta to herself.
She opened up a book about the different flowers of the region of Eastern Europe, she then skimmed through the book until she found the flower that he had given her. It was a small purple colored rose, besides representing love there was nothing else about it that could hold any form of spell over a vampire or anyone else.
"Nothing, again. Why do you plague my mind and my thoughts?" asked Gothetta as she held the flower up to her face.
Gothetta focused on the flower so much that she could feel that it would catch fire. She then felt a hand placed on her shoulder causing her to get spooked. She turned to see Lady Kryptina standing there with a curious look on her face.
"Gothetta, are you alright?" asked Lady Kryptina
"OH, Yes Lady Crypt-I mean Lady Kryptina. Yes Lady Kryptina, I am alright." said Gothetta hiding the flower
"Really, then may I ask where did you get this? It smells nice, did Oskar gave you this?" asked Lady Kryptina
"No, I-I found it, yes. I found it when we went into town." lied Gothetta
"Really? Because I think this may have something to do with a certain boy." said Lady Kryptina before taking a long whiff out to it, and then her eyes widen. "Odd, this smells like a human. Gothetta..."
Gothetta looked around for some sort of excuse as she began to sweat a little. She then took another glance at Lady Kryptina, and knew that nothing she could make up would save her.
"Alright, a few days ago I went into town and flew around a little, and then I walked a little and then I accidentally bumped into a human boy and as an apology gave that flower. I didn't know what to do, I found myself unable to say no. And now I can't get him out of my head. Lady Kryptina please help me!" said Gothetta finally letting it out
Lady Kryptina blinked a couple times and then proceeded to laugh a little.
"Calm down Gothetta, there is nothing wrong with you. This just means that you are maturing into a lovely young vampire. All you must do is confront this boy and place him under your spell, no bitting of course." explained Lady Kryptina
"I do not understand Lady Kryptina." said Gothetta
"It's quite simple. What you have is a simple crush that will go away once this human boy is hypnotized by your beauty. Come with me." said Lady Kryptina
The two vampire ladies walked out of the library and into the courtyard. Lady Kryptina pulled out a small bottle filled with white colored liquid, she uncorked it and let two drops hit the back of her hand. As soon as the liquid touched he skin mists began to pour down from her hand. She then placed down the bottle and began to walk around the courtyard leaving a trail of mist behind her.
Gothetta observed as Lady Kryptina continued her walk she then made a quick turn and disappeared in the mist she had created. Then Gothetta began to hear a faint voice singing. It was a melody that captured her attention it drew her to the mist that had been made not long ago. As Gothetta stepped into the mist she began to wonder, what was alluring her? Why was she feeling this way? All she could make up in the mist were silhouettes of a woman dancing. It made Gothetta feel curiosity, and that curiosity made her step forward once more. But as she took another step the silhouette disappeared.
Suddenly Gothetta turns to see Lady Kryptina standing behind her with a smile.
"What you just observed was an alluring technique used by vampire ladies in order to lure men. Usually I would wait for you to be a little older to teach you this but the circumstances demand it. Now move your body in a flowing motion such as I." explained Lady Kryptina as she showed Gothetta
Gothetta moved her arms in a flowing dance motion allowing her inhibitions to disappear. She spun in circles moving all her body at the rhythm of a soundless song.
"Very good Gothetta. Now, you must use your appeal to make your prey come to you. Some vampires use a little hypnotism to secure this step. But above all else you must follow the rhythm of your own pace. Remember, this is about no one else but you and the man in front of you." explained Lady Kryptina
Gothetta then spun around at high speed until she stopped by crashing on one of the old statue steps. Her hair was a mess and she had trouble catching her own breath.
"Maybe you should practice a little before trying it out on that boy. Now take care Gothetta." said Lady Kryptina before leaving
"Oh, yes. Thank you Lady Kryptina." said Gothetta waiting for no one else to be around and then she turned into a bat and flew back into town.
Randy had been pacing around the room waiting for news about Oskar, but it seemed to be getting nothing. Even the book that he had gotten from the old abandoned library was not getting him anywhere, especially because he couldn't read any of it.
"Cunningham, if you keep pacing so much you'll make a hole on the floor." said Howard without looking away from his video game.
"How can you be so calm?! For all we know we just lost a medallion that could cause a rift in the fabric of space and time or summon forth an ancient evil. And all we can do is wait! How are you so chilled?" asked Randy
"Because things are always going to be alright. It's kind of like our thing. Now either stop pacing or go outside, but if you go outside take some garlic or a stake. Oh, and if you do go outside get me a snack." said Howard
"Ok." said Randy before going outside for a walk
Randy walked down the street letting the calm air of the night put all his fears at ease. He looked up to the night sky to think of something else and something did occur. That something that caught his attention was a bat flying above him and it was staying in that position. The bat then flew towards the edge of town, and Randy followed believing that it was Oskar with news.
Randy then arrived at the forest at the edge of town but did not see Oskar nearby. As Randy was about to call for the young vampire he noticed a mist creeping towards him.
Randy then noticed that a low volumed melody began to come from the fog, and just as Randy was about to step into the fog he noticed a silhouette and a long red mane of hair moving about in the mist.
From the mist emerged Gothetta in a very seductive manner.
This was the first time that Randy had seen her this way, face-to-face, no one else nearby and she was certainly alluring. Randy took notice of all of her, head to toe and vice versa. Her two piece red dress made her blend and stand out in the night, her pale skin glowed with the moon light, and her red mane of hair flowed with the wind as a red flag signaling the dangers of the unknown. Her body was clearly well fit and developed, there didn't seem to be an ounce of fat out of place.
Randy's warrior instincts kicked in telling him that something was wrong. He had one hand on the mask as he stepped forward a little bit.
Gothetta then began to get slightly worried because the boy she was seeking was just standing there. She then thought of talking to the young man in order to lure him to her.
"Oh wandering soul from a far of place, why does thou tread these woods by your lonesome?" asked Gothetta trying to sound sexy
"I could be asking you the same thing miss." replied Randy with a smile letting her play along
"I merely wished to take a stroll. The night is alluring and enchanting to many if not all who desire, and wish to embrace their desires. May I inquire your name good sir and what desires make you feel alive?" asked Gothetta
"My name is Randy, and before you tell me your name, why do you talk like an old lady trying to seduce a young pool boy?" asked Randy throwing Gothetta off her own rhythm
"Wha-" began Gothetta before she fell down because she misstepped with a uproot.
Gothetta tried to pick herself off and retry her attempt at seduction, but she found herself with Randy's left hand in front of her face.
Gothetta looked up to meet Randy's gaze and she was instantly met with a joking but sincere smile and calmed blue eyes that showed genuine concern for her.
"My name's Gothetta, and thank you." said Gothetta hiding her blush
"You know, if you wanted to talk we could've just talked. There was no need to do this whole vampire seductress thing." said Randy as he helped Gothetta up to her feet.
"That what?" asked Gothetta not believing that she was discovered so easily
"The fake fangs were a nice detail." said Randy as to not arouse suspicion.
"Thank you, ow!" said Gothetta
Randy held her up and let her sit on a stump.
"I think I sprained my foot." said Gothetta looking at her foot.
"May I?" asked Randy
Gothetta then lifted her foot for Randy to inspect and he then used a piece of clothe to wrap it a little. All the while Gothetta was blushing and wondering what she could say to him.
"I haven't seen you before around here, are you from some place else?" asked Gothatta
"Yeah, I'm from Norresville back in the United States. Me and some kids from my school are here on study abroad program. Where do you go to, I haven't seen you at the high school I'm currently attending?" asked Randy
"Well, I guess you could say that I'm homeschooled. And my parents don't like me to out a lot. That's why I go out at night from time to time." explained Gothetta
"Why did you do the vampire thing just now?" asked Randy
"I did it because from the few books that I've read it was the best way to get in touch with a boy one doesn't know. I'm usually not like this, I'm normal and...um..." explained Gothetta
"It's ok, you don't need to tell me something if you don't want to. I'll respect your privacy. Besides I still have some time here so maybe we'll see each other more and you can tell me more about yourself." said Randy
"I always thought that hu-I mean boys were more self centered and judging. But you seem nice Randy." said Gothetta with a smile
"Well my mom would kill me if I was." said Randy letting both of them to have a laugh.
Then the sound of bells could be heard all the way to where the two where. Randy quickly took a look at his watch and saw that it was five to midnight.
"OH JUICE! I got to go, if I'm not back by midnight I'll be in trouble." said Randy
"It's alright I need to go too. I'll see you around." said Gothetta and then she gave Randy a peck on the cheek
Upon realization she brought her hands to her lips and gasped.
"I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to...I'm just um, um..." tried Gothetta
"It's alright, here." said Randy kissing Gothetta's cheek turning her red as a tomato
Randy then sprinted back to the hotel leaving Gothetta holding her cheek with her hand and a small smile that quickly grew up to a large smile that then turned into a sigh.
What a night.
