"Aro there's nothing here, how do you know there even is a diary vault?" Chris whined from the other side of the room. We had all been searching for about an hour and a half with no results.
"I know because your father has mentioned it before, he doesn't like people prying into his past so he locks his journals away" Aro continued pulling out books, trying to see if one of them was a leaver. I went into the task thinking it wouldn't take long but this is going on forever.
"Are you sure it's not back in his bedroom?" I had my doubts that the vault was here about half an hour back, but I didn't think where else it could be.
"Maybe but it's unlikely, everyone knows where his bedroom is; anyone could stumble upon it." Aro sighed and continued his work. Chris took a frustrated breath and moved to sit on the couch. He picked up the Dracula book and looked at it; he did his best thinking with a book in his hands. I gave a small, sad smile and turned back to the wall in front of me; feeling for loose panels or wall switches.
"Chris come 'ere" I checked the next bit of the wall before I went to my brother on the couch.
"What's up?" I sat beside him and he handed me the book and ran his fingers on the cover.
"There's a bump, where's the letter opener?" Chris went to the desk and rifled through the drawers. Not long after he sat down again and pried the cover apart and a small, old fashioned, gold key fell into my lap. I picked it up and handed it to Aro who had come to stand in front of us.
"Great, now we have to find what it goes to" Aro sighed and put the key in the pocket of his robes. We continued to search the room, bit by bit, for the next three hours with no results.
"I give up, I'm hungry for once, keep going if you want" Chris jumped down from the ladder and left the room. I sighed and kept feeling the walls. An hour later the walls were cleared and I was onto the floor, knocking the wood and pulling up carpets. Another hour ticked by and I was only half done and getting very frustrated.
"Okay, I give up. I'm out, see you later Aro" I left the room in a hurry, wanting to find someone to eat. I found some poor soul begging out the front of the castle, I thought I would put out of his misery. To my surprise he actually thanked me with his last breath. I walked back to my room after disposing of the body, I was still fine physically but I was mentally exhausted. I was lying on my bed; Chris was on his as well. Neither of us slept but we still lay there in silence looking at the ceiling, just thinking about our search when an idea hit me. I jumped from bed and ran to the guard hall, Chris was following me. I opened the door and burst in, looking at the roof. There was a great big chandelier in the centre with a gold mount. I looked closer at it and saw a pattern around the edge shaped like key holes. "There" I told Aro, pointing at the chandelier. Aro dragged one of the ladders over and got Chris and I to hold it steady.
"It fits the keyholes, now I just need to- got it" part of the roof opened up and Aro pulled a box down. Aro jumped off the ladder and I put it back against the bookcase. I opened the box and found it filled with leather bound books.
"Bingo" I looked at all the spines. "There are no years on them, we're going to have to look through them all to find the right one" I sighed and Chris sighed along with me.
"All right boys, grab some books and get reading, we're looking for an entry just after your father turned" Aro handed us each a third of the box.
"Let me know when the fun part starts" I sat down and started reading.
Me: hope you liked it
Fang: because you wont see us for a while
Me: *whacks in the head*
Fang: jeez, sorry
Me: bye!
