Le Château Macabre

"Father don't leave us now, you know how much mother and Florian need you, how much I need you." I cry out as my father orders his guards to take us away from him. He doesn't listen, instead he talks to his chauffeur. I can't quite hear what he said, but I heard something about a city named 'Saint Chaumont' before the guards force me inside the castle.

It has now been a year and half since my father left us, mother has been acting different ever since he has been gone. Florian is doing well in school, but still is working on getting over the whole situation.

The castle feels empty without father's voice when singing while making breakfast, without him walking around asking if we need help with school. Without him.

I am now 19 years old, I work as a florist in town and I have quite a boring life. I wake up, have breakfast, get ready, go to work, go home, have dinner, get ready for bed and then go to sleep again.

Uh yeah future Victoria here, that will all change in about 10 minutes, when I'm sitting at the table eating my breakfast, but hey, no spoilers!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I head downstairs to the kitchen, thinking about what to have for breakfast and about whether or not I should scare human children for fun again today. I grab the blood carton and pour it in a bowl, then put cereal in. (idc, milk first then cereal!) I sit down at the dinner table waiting for Florian to come downstairs to tell me about all the dreams he had.

But today mother comes downstairs first. I heard her leaving the house tonight but decide not to ask about it. "Victoria I need to talk to you about something." She says. "What is it mother" I ask, scared for the answer. "Yesterday night I went out with an old friend of mine, she told me she sent her daughter to a special academy when she was about your age. I thought maybe I could send you too, since you're not doing anything with your life at the moment". Gee thanks mom. "What kind of academy?" I ask. "It's for learning to use dark magic, to become a great vampire, like your father was.".

I think about that for a second, as a child I would look up to my father. He was a great vampire, really powerful, feared by most but still really humble. I wish I could be like him.

"Victoria, do you want to go?"

I stay quiet, I'm not sure if I can do it. I've heard about the school before, they send you on quests, dangerous ones. I've heard about people dying when trying to complete them.

- Is the honor being powerful, worth being - vulnerable?

I want to say yes, even though it will be dangerous and very hard. I want to follow my father's footsteps. I want to find him and rule the whole world with him.

"Victoria?"

"Yes."
