Chapter one; New life and new home
Romania - Transylvania
2010 - October
Seventeen-yr-old Natasha Aria Madison, or rather Tasha, stood outside the newly-brought house with her sisters standing by her. Her older sister was named Clare Madeson and she had the most brightest shade of orange hair that looked like it had been blonde first and then dyed orange afterwards. Her hair was casted in waves and framed her face nicely. Clare loved to wear different shades of purple as for the t-shirts and other types of bodily-clothes with wearing dark trousers.
The other sister was named Sophanne Madeson, and considered the youngest of the three with Clare as the oldest and Tasha as the mid-oldest. Sophanne had bright blonde hair and held it back with hair clips and head-bands. She was known to be the most troublesome because of her active energy and wild personality, out of the three, with thinking of quick ways of getting out of trouble. She loved to wear three-quartered jeans and wear shirts with short-sleeve over her tank tops as well as sandles despite the cold weather.
Clare and Sophanne weren't really Tasha's sisters but she loved them as if they were. They had been introduced together when Tasha was seven and together from that day on, all three girls treated each other as sisters. They were placed into care upon their parents's deaths.
Tasha had mid-parted dark chocolate brown hair with blonde tints that was even in length, passing her shoulders and reaching the mid of her strong back, and framing her intelligant-looking face. Beside from her hair, her eyes were sapphire and seemed to become bright whenever she was angry. She was known to wear long sleeved tops and semi-skinny trousers such as jeans, with a pair of black and white shaded sneakers. She loved to wear her black leathered-jacket, that was also a coat, whenever. It kept her warm in the windy and cold weather. Around her neck and laying just where her breasts were, Tasha wore a silver-made locket and a silver-cross necklace that her mother had given her when she was six on her birthday; monthes before her passing.
The removal men were taking the girl's possessions into the house before coming back out and grabbing more of their stuff. Tasha was watching in case they tried anything whilst her sisters were inside and exploring. She couldn't help but notice that residents of the village were staring at her. She just shrugged.
Clare and Sophanne were on the upper levels and were each searching the rooms until they chose. After the removal men had moved all the girl's stuff into the place and given the keys to the mid-oldest sister, Tasha decided to head to the kitchen and start dinner. She could hear her sisters in excitement and couldn't but smile. As she started to gather the ingrediants, she used her band around her wrist to tie back her long chocolate brown hair.
Having worked part-time in a restaurant as a day job to look after herself and her sisters, Tasha picked up a few recipes.

After serving dinner and all the sisters had sitten down before eating the delicious homemade tomato and potato soup with crusted bread. Clare and Sophanne had gone off to explore which Tasha would do later, once she had cleaned up the dinner plates and kitchen.
Upon cleaning the surfaces and washing the plates clean before stacking them away. "Now that's done." she said before tossing the towel onto the side and then heading towards the hall through the dining area. "Time to explore." Tasha headed up the stairs and to the upper levels. She moved on and easily picked the room that had been used at all, not by the family members or anyone else. She decided to leave his room untouched. Tasha made sure to put her stuff into her room by her only, she never liked anyone touching her things. She only had one massive bag of clothes and a box of books, laptop, writing pad with a pen and paper, DVDs, CDs, and a CD player with headphones.
Once Tasha had placed her bag and box down by the end-side of her new bed, she opened her bag and placed a photo-frame on the bedside table. The photo was of her late mother. Tasha moved towards the window and opened it slightly to allow fresh air into the room. The room had large ounces of dust everywhere, even on the bed covers. "Tomorrow, I'll wash the bed covers and clean everything I can in my room and even my sisters's room." she said as she placed her bag onto the bed and gathered her night-clothes onto the bed before deciding to head to bed as she noticed that the sky was becoming dark.
She moved towards the window and closed the curtains before she started to change into her night-clothes which consisted of a long-sleeved purple top and baggy spotty-designed trousers with slippers. Tasha got herself into bed and could hear her sisters moving their possessions about in their room. She puffed her pillow upwards against the bedboard and leaned back, taking a couple of seconds to rest before leaning towards the end of the bed and grabbing her book of the supernatural from the box. Tasha loved to read this book, no matter how many times she already had. She learned everything interestingly about monsters, including the Vampires that surround Transylvania, her birthplace. The one creature of the night that interested her was Count Dracula, lord of all Vampires and former member of the Valerious clan before his deal with the Devil. He was fasinating to read about and she wanted to know more.
Minutes passed by and Tasha felt tired, her eyes were drooping and she leaned herself onto the mattress with her book opened on the page of Dracula, facing flap against the bed cover that laid on her waistline. Her left hand was rested near her angled head and her right arm and hand were crossed over her stomach as she slept peacefully. Reading her book always helped her becoming sleepy and allow her to sleep peacefully. By the time Tasha had fallen asleep, her sisters were getting ready for bed.
Half-an-hour later, something stepped out of the shadows in the corner of her room and approached her bedside where he angled his head to the right, his infamous bangs falling onto his face. He leaned his hand towards the sleeping sister's face and stroked her forehead like a parent, almost knowing that she won't wake up, with the tips of his fingers that brushing away a few strands of her chocolate hair from her face. "Sweet dreams, my child, and welcome home." he said to her as he stroked her forehead like a parent to their child. Whatever it was, Tasha opened her eyes and sat up, realizing immediately that she had fallen asleep and left the light on. She closed the book on her lap before setting it onto the floor and then turning the light off and pulling the covers over her as she fell back to sleep quickly.
The man had moved with superhuman speed as Tasha woke, making sure that she didn't see him at all. 'Sweet dreams.' he thought in his mind before he disappeared into the shadows.

Two days had passed as the sisters had gotten used to their new home. Tasha looked after the place by cleaning, washing and cooking with help from her sisters. She had washed all the bed sheets and Clare and Sophanne cleaned the rooms. Once they had done all the chores, the girls each had a shower in their own bathroom before spending the rest of the day of their choice. The oldest and youngest sister decided to explore the Romania town whilst the mid-oldest decided to explore the town's library, reading the books of her choice such as Valerious and Dracula's history. Hours passed by and she couldn't get enough of the reading. She took breaks, making sure that she had eatened sandwiches and had a glass of water to drink before resuming her reading.
Tasha decided to stop reading, leaving it to the next day before deciding to prepare dinner for herself and her sisters. She left the library and headed back to the house where she entered the kitchen before tying back her brown hair and then preparing homemade Basil soup with chicken legs and bowl of salad, not hard for a seventeen year-old girl with minor cooking skills. It took an hour and an half to prepare.
After Tasha, Clare and Sophanne had finished their dinner, bowl of Basil soup and chicken pieces on a plate, and taken the plates into the kitchen, washing and drying them. Tasha clearned up whilst her sister left, she placed the white dished onto the drying rack and then headed down the corridoor before heading up the staircase and entering her bedroom, feeling tired and still-emotional from the crying she did. She sat herself on the bed, becoming comfortable before collasping backwards onto her bed-covers with her hand resting directly over her eyes, shielding them from light.
Her eyes betrayed her and she'd closed them for a few seconds until Tasha realized that she needed to get in bed and then fall asleep, and not the other way round. She removed her jacket, top and jeans as well as socks and sneakers before changing into her night-top and trousers. She released her long hair from it's ponytail, spearing and brushing her fingers through it before climbing into bed and then turning the lights out to which seconds later, Tasha fell fast asleep.
Her older and younger sisters sorted themselves out and already knew that she had gone to bed. They wouldn't disturb her, and would believe she earned her early-hour sleep. Sometime in the early hours of the morning, two women of high nobility approached the bed where the sleeping sister was laying and spoke in hushed tones. "This is the one that the Master wants?" replied the French-accented brown-haired woman. She wore a flowing silk-made gown that hugged her slendered figure.
"Yes, it's her... the Master wants and we are not allowed, in anyway of, denying him, sister." spoke the Polish-accented woman with blonde-almost white hair and grey-coloured eyes. She wore a orange bra-like top and silk-made baggy trousers with sandal-like high heels shoes to make her look taller. "Come on, we must hurry."
Both women transformed and grabbed the still-sleeping woman into their arms before they took flight out of the Tasha's room window. One of the women couldn't help but released a crackling laughter until she was told to shut up. They thought they couldn't be heard and they were wrong. Sophanne had stayed up and was reading one of the books about Dracula when she heard it. She ran from her bed and towards the window where she saw her sister in the arms of one of the demonic-looking women.
'I knew it! They are alive and they have Tasha! Shit!' she thought as she ran from her room and towards Clare where she woke her sister up in desparation. She told her everything and this was something that both sisters couldn't deny, even though only one of them saw the entire thing. Clare had a feeling in her stomach, that wasn't gas, that she couldn't ignore.
