After lunch and a tour of the castle, Sarah chose her room. It was two doors down from Vlad's

room. The valet had delivered her bags and backpack. So she had her school supplies. She hung

her clothes up and put her underwear and shorts in the drawers. She put her backpack in a

corner, but then got her binder and a pencil out. She sat down on her bed and started writing a

letter to her rightful family.

Dear Mom, Dad, Danny and Jazz.

I've made it safe and sound to Wisconsin. I am now Darlene Elizabeth Masters. I want to come

home, now, but I'll give "Father" a chance. That's what Vlad wants me to call him. At a rest area,

a lady stopped me on the way to the sink and asked me if I was running away. I acted horrified

and told her that I was going to spend two weeks in Wisconsin with my father. At every rest area,

 Vlad told me not to run away. I didn't, apparently. I want to come home. "Father" asked what

name I would use to sign my letters. I think he'll be writing a letter to you, and signing my name

 to it. Just pay attention to the handwriting and probably the salutation. He'll probably use

"Dear Fenton Family" or just "Fenton Family".

I love you four and I don't want to leave you. I didn't want to leave you this morning, but since

"Father" made me, I decided it would be best or else he may pay someone to kidnap me. I won't

be sending this right away, but maybe if you could ask Phantom to fly here, he'll be our post

man.

Love you now and forever,

Sarah Jessica Fenton

Sarah folded the letter and stuck it down in her pocket to give to Danny after she found a secret place to meet him. She went downstairs and asked Vlad if she could go out and explore.

"Of course, Darlene. Just be back before dark, please. Otherwise, you may not make it back in time for dinner or bed, which is nine school nights and whenever on weekends."

"Yes, Father." Sarah went out the back door. She jumped off the back porch.

"I'll have to tell her not to do that." Vlad said to himself. Sarah wandered around the property

until she was sure Vlad wasn't watching her. Then she went straight to the forest. She

transformed and started flying just above the ground. She may not have believed Vlad about the

 trolls, dragons, and unicorns, but she did believe him about the snakes and quicksand. She

found a cave about three feet in. She would have to bring a flashlight to explore it tomorrow

after school. She was pretty sure it would begin at eight and end at three. She would probably
