Chapter three

Unusual Little Girl!

Angel: my turn now?

KItty: No, we still have to get to her hating him. Then we can break off

Angel: T-T, for those of you who haven't figured it out yet. We are both writing parts of the story. I am typing my "lingo" for what she says and she is typing in her "lingo" for what I say. So, I'm waiting for my turn to write for my character, *ahem Dracula ahem* hehe.

Disclaimer! We own nothing but the names, not anything you recognize, and plot

"When you're done here move on to the library, bitch." Igor exclaimed as he threw the bucket of water hitting a dirty white haired child. Hearing the footsteps fading she dared to look up, white blonde hair parting down the middle to reveal a pair of striking, emotionless blue eyes. Stiffly taking the brush she begins to scrub the vast floors of the ballroom. Just two weeks ago she had been in a cell being zapped and prodded by the merciless hunchback, that she dubbed Hunchy, now she was dressed in a dress two sizes too big for her small frail body on her hands and knees scrubbing her captors floors. That man kept calling her a 'bitch' but she had no idea why or what it meant, all she knew is she wanted, no had, to get back to her mama and papa. Yes just keep quiet and wait, a way out will appear to those who are patient. Her face remained impassive as the voice in her head spoke. Mama would have called her crazy and to keep things like that to herself, but she knows she is not for the voice in her head is not scary, different, or unfamiliar. No this voice felt safe, soft, caring, and familiar. Oh so familiar like it was apart of her. like a part deep inside her was stirring and wanted her to escape. Narrowing her eyes in concentration as the dream that had plagued her mind for the past two weeks came rushing back. Something, someone?, standing over her mother, her in the corner watching as the thing, person?, lifted their arm and brought it crashing down successfully severing her moms head from her small tanned body. A cold psychotic laugh fills the room as the fire spreads from the turned over nightstand to the rest of the room. its firery tentacles licking her mother's body. She wanted to scream, but found her throat through dry and closed. She wanted to run to her mother and keep the evil flames from touching her pure beautiful body, but found herself rooted to the ground. All she could do was watch while her mother's body burned in front of her eyes. Being shocked back into reality when the bucket of water somehow went from sitting on the floor, to up in the air, to over her head and down her body soaking her dress to the bone. staring at the floor she slowly raised her head to meet a pair of green eyes.

"staring off into space while cleaning the same spot for the past five minutes won't get your work done any faster." The green eyed women spoke with a hint of a smirk tugging at her lips. Trying to stick with her resolve to stay quiet she looked back down to the floor and started to spread the water with the brush, but the green eyed women was having none of it.

Bending down she placed her finger under the delicate chin of the child and raised her to meet eye to eye with her.

"Look here, I'm the one who got Dracula to leave you alone until you're of age so the least you could do is give me your name, Iulia?"

Her eyes remained emotionless and her face gave nothing away. She wanted to remain defiant and ignore the golden women in front of her, but when she glanced into those caring green orbs she found herself wanting to crawl into this woman's arms and release all the tears she had been holding back. Before her mind could comprehend what she was doing her lips had already formed the word.

"Lithium."

The woman's eyes widened slightly, shocked that the girl had answered her. Recovering she smiled and continued her probing.

"What an unusual name, but I guess it complements your unusual looks. My I've never seen such bright hair! And thats saying something with my hair." She gave a small chuckle. Taking her finger she raised Lithiums head higher. "Such bright eyes, but why, do I see the light dying inside of them, Iulia?"

"Why do you call me that?" Lithium braved.

Chuckling the golden women answered in her sweet tone. "It means young one in Romanian. Do you not know this? You must be at least nine summers old aren't you?"

"Ten. I'm ten summers old. And I don't speak old Romanian really well."

"Ten! But you're so small. If you don't speak Romanian well then you must not be native born."

Shaking her head slowly Lithium lowered her gaze. "No. I do not know where I am from miss-. I never got your name."

"Oh! How rude of me, to ask yours but never give my own." Extending her hand she shook it with Lithiums. "My names Katrina, Alpha female of Dracula's pack."

before Lithium could question her further Katrina stood sharply and left without another word. Narrowing her eyes in the direction the golden women left, she felt the same nagging feeling in her mind. Tonight. You have to leave tonight because that women has taken a liking to you and will cause problems. With a mischievous gleam in her eye she went back to scrubbing.
