Innocent Blood

Uncle Drakes Home

I was so surprised it was him in the drivers seat. I began to ask so many questions and most time he couldn't even answer because I already had spit out another question. We were on a very dark and curvy road which slightly confused me because I don't remember going this way to my uncles house. Also, I never remember coming here during the night. Finally we pulled up to a gate where my uncle slid a card for them to open up. The gates slowly opened to where a long dark drive way became somewhat clear. We began on the driveway and slowly stopped in front of the house. My dad then suddenly hopped out, and began grabbing our things while my uncle ushered both mom and I inside. As soon as we stepped inside my uncles maids retrieved from what they could carry from our things and began to take them upstairs. I offered to help but as soon as I was about to grab a bag my Uncle swept me off my feet into this huge hug and which I ended up returning. He is like a big teddy bear. As child he would often call me by my middle name Grace or as he said Gracie. " Gracie.. I haven't gotten call from you in these last couple of months how are you?" He exclaimed. Goodness he could be so dramatic at times and sometimes he can be very dark. I began to explain a few reasons I haven't been able to talk to him lately. "I'm sorry Uncle D, I have been so busy packing and saying goodbye to friends and helping mom get my school stuff ready to be transferred that I just haven't had time.... I'm sorry." " It's okay dear," my uncle began " I completely understand, Oh and by the way I called the school your going to be attending and told them you would maybe be a couple days later!"
I quickly grinned and hugged him again I love how he never rushes me into anything. "Alright uncle I'm going to go check out your house since I haven't been here in a while." I slowly turned around and started to ascend the gigantic staircase that led to the upper floors of the house. After reaching the top I decided to go see if my room was how I had left it. It was quite different to walk down these halls being older. Everything was bigger, but maybe that was because I was older and could now stand above my night stand. My uncle loves to please people.. well at least when it come to me. He has definitely been talking to my parents because he has changed my room into like my fan girl heaven. He has bought me a wii U, and Xbox, and a book shelf filled with different types vampire, werewolf and anime fictions that I don't even think have come out yet. He has totally made living here amazing not that I wouldn't have loved it anyway but wow..... The maids had gotten all of my boxes and stuff up here rather quickly for how much I brought. I began to unpack all of my stuff to put with what my uncle had gotten me. I got so busy that I completely forgot about earlier. I will definitely ask Uncle later tonight maybe at dinner. After a couple hours of unpacking and making myself at home there was a knock at my door. I got up off my bed and walked over and opened it seeing the smiling face of my uncle. " Gracie, I would like to escort you to dinner." He has always been so formal it was a little weird,but he has always loved chivalry and old timey stuff thats even why he lives in well what I call a semi castle. "I would love to be escorted uncle." With a small courtesy I grabbed on to his arm began to walk down the hallway towards the steps. After walking a while down the hallway my Uncle began to speak again " I'm really glad your dad and mother agreed to come live with me, there are many things I need to discuss with you later on in the stay.... Things may be a little different from when you used to come here as a child, but I want you to know I love you." I was about to speak when I realized we had reached the dining room. Which was lit to perfection, mom and dad were already seated and speaking with one another. While my uncle led me to the seat by his and pulled out my chair for me and helped me settled in. In less than seconds after he sat down different maids began bringing in what looked like a three course meal. First we had a pretty big tossed salad with Italian dressing which was by far my favorite. Next, came in Tortellini Alfredo which was one of my favorite foods. I was stuffed after dinner so by the time dessert came I couldn't even get any. I was about to ask if I could go explore when the door bell rang. My uncles face looked very unpleasant. Which was very unusual for him. He got up rather quickly and excused himself while he went to answer the door.
