THE FINDING
I arrived at the Shaw mansion precisely at 7:30 pm. The sun was beginning to go down just as twilight began.
Clara quickly rushed from the Shaw mansion and waited beside an old elm tree, holding a small black lantern and a staff. I suddenly realized that most humans couldn't see well in darkness so I approached Clara myself.
When Clara noticed I was standing beside her, her eyes grew huge as she screamed, "Great Day In The Morning!"
Then Clara asked me, "What are you trying to do, fool, scare me to death? I think I might just have to change my britches," she further confessed.
"I promised not to hurt you and I will keep that promise," I assured Clara.
Clara took a step away from me and said, "Just you remember that promise!" "There ain't any servants left in the Shaw house cause I've done cleared them all out. You stay away from the servant houses... you hear? You only bother those nasty thieving Shaws!"
I couldn't resist but smile at her. I really liked this Clara. She had more spunk than any human I'd ever encountered. Hell! She had more spunk than any vampire I knew as well.
Clara shivered at my smile. She then turned away and held up the small lantern she held in her left hand.
"Follow me," Clara said, "but not TOO close!" she warned.
Clara led me behind the enormous mansion. We walked for about twenty-five minutes leaving the gigantic mansion with it's opulent grounds behind. We eventually passed an old slave cemetery and then we passed into a large section of land, wild and uncared for.
"This way," Clara said to me as she pointed to a narrow cow-trail that led into the forest.
Clara and I followed the old cow-trail for about thirty minutes as the forest growth became thicker and lusher. We finally came to an extremely small meadow that had a brook, and also a tiny little stable.
"Now all I have to do is get back home safe and sound," stated Clara, "All them wild varmints wouldn't come near you, so I was safe."
"I could easily walk you back home and return here," I said to Clara. I owed this woman a lot.
Clara's dark eyes widened and she said, "No sir, thank you... but I'd actually rather take my chances with the wild varmints."
She slowly turned and began to walk away.
"Clara," I said, "What am I supposed to do now?" I asked her.
Clara turned back to me with an irritated expression and said, "Look in the stable, you fool! Why do you think I dragged myself all the ways out here?"
Before she turned away and left Clara said, "Don't you go and lie to me and be bothering us servant-folk tonight...you done gave me your word!"
