miranda's 'family'

Part 15: Castle Dimitrescu

I fell asleep in her arms as she walked out of the church. The cold brushed against my face making me turn in my sleep.

I opened my eyes as we got to the stone gate. The low light of the sun illuminated the intricacies of the gate. Alcina is not of an average height, so it gave a whole new perspective to the glossy snow.

We walked into the large building, that's when it clicked 'Castle Dimitrescu' I was going into the place I was told to avoid like the plague.

There are stories about people going missing in that area. All the parents suspected that the Lady was taking them. There are rumors about her and her 3 daughters being vampires. But those are only stories... Right?

Alcina had noticed I was semi awake as she petted my hair as she walked on through the small door frame.

"watch your head, I do not want to tend to an injured child"

She carried me to her quarters, the gold and wooden finishes made the place feel warm. We walked to the courtyard then to her quarters,the cold wind became noticeable after being in the warmth of the castle.

Alcina got to the quarters and placed me down on her bed. Kneeling down to my hight, her yellow eyes gazing into me she spoke with such softness.

"my dear, I am Alcina Dimitrescu, you will be staying with me here. This is your room mine is just down the hall. You have an ensuite bathroom in that door. Oh and please be aware of my daughters, Daniella, Bella and cassandra, they can be quite... Playful"

I nodded and she got up her hight gave her such power, her midnight hair, pale skin it all made her so powerful.

"any questions my dear?"

"y-yeah when's dinner time?"

"7pm sharp, in about 1hr 30 minutes, I will come to collect you so please stay in your room"

I nodded fiddling with the necklace, she acknowledged me then left me in a large room, much better than Karl's and Donna's. Though I much prefer Donna's.

I stood up and had a wander around the room, it was large and pale with a four poster wooden bed. Satin sheets lay on the large bed it was so soft. The room also had a wardrobe with lavish designs and intricate details carved into the wood. Opening the wardrobe I saw small clothes I picked them up and noticed they were my size.

A low buzzing sound swarmed around me along with a high pitched gigle. I dropped the t shirt and fell back as a swarm of insects came towards me.

"hello little one..."
