"Uncle D!" I called when I heard his heavy footsteps walking down the hall. Chris and I lept up and ran out to see him.
"Chris'!" Uncle D called in reply. Dimitri had been gone for a long time and I don't think he found who he was supposed to be looking for. "How are my favourite nephew's doing?" We laughed, we were his only nephews but we appreciated the compliment.
"We're good, mother doesn't want to leave though; separation issues" Uncle D smiled, he and mother were good friends and he knew just how crazy she could be when we went missing, lord knows we went missing all the time when we were children.
"I'll go talk to her" Just as Dimitri spoke mother appeared at her doorway.
"Hush up you two. Dimitri can you help me paw through the closet for some normal clothes; the jean and cotton smell is too mixed in with the satin and velvet" Dimitri laughed and they both went to pack a bag. Chris and I followed after at a slower pace. I nudged Chris in the ribs and gave him a look that told him to ask about the book; he was the more nerdy twin.
"Mother, what was father's favourite book?" Chris asked innocently, trying to hide the agenda in the question.
"Why do you ask?" Mother was stiff, bringing up father was never the best idea but it is necessary.
"I want to know who he was as a person; people base their favourite books off their own personality" Even I was convinced that was Chris' reason for wanting the title. Mother let her breath go and closed her eyes a moment.
"Your father read 'Dracula' over three thousand times in his life, even though he was able to recite it word by word after the third time" I hid my snicker, father liked Dracula! What a laugh.
"I'll look for it later" Chris ended the conversation and we dove into the search for jeans and cotton shirts in the wardrobe.
"Bye boys, don't get into trouble. I told Aro and Felix to keep an eye on you two" Mother hugged the both of us, suffocating us in the process.
"Mother, you can let go now" Chris wheezed. I laughed and mother joined in. With a final kiss on the forehead Dimitri all but dragged mother off. We waved until they were safely in the elevator before letting out a breath and going back into our room.
"So you really think 'Dracula' is the book we're looking for?" Chris flopped onto his bed and I sat on the floor across from him.
"I think so, maybe not though; we don't even know what we're looking for in the book" Chris sat back up to face me.
"He said there was a map, it could be in between the pages or something" Chris gave a silent nod and we sat in silent thought for a few minutes.
"We'll have to go back to the room during the day while everyone is either hunting or performing some kind of duty" Chris concluded, I agreed. At night the castle was swarming with vampires and humans alike, they just didn't do anything at night. Chris and I made a plan to go back to the room tonight and search for the book. We agreed not to take the book out of the room, nor anything else. We don't know who else had access to the room either so we had to be sure to leave it how we found it.
"Why couldn't he just give us everything we needed with the letters, Aro would never look at them" I whined, it would be so much easier. We don't even have the slightest idea where the map will take us or what it will take us to. Father left us a not so fun mystery and even a tag along scavenger hunt that we had to work our way through to get him back.
"Father wasn't worried about Aro, he was worried about anyone else that might take the things he left behind for us" Chris had a good argument. I fell back to the floor and closed my eyes a moment. We had nothing to do until the sun had set and the moon had risen. Chris and I tried to pass the time by pulling out the old board games uncle Marcus had bought for us about 40 years ago. I beat Chris eight times in 'The Game of Life' four times in 'Monopoly' and he beat me twice in 'Cluedo' three times in 'Game of Life' and once in 'Monopoly' before we could hear the bustle of the castle die down.
"Let's move out" Chris stood with me and we prepared to leave the room.
