Lady Nosferatu and the wolf girl

Chapter 11

Narration by Ms Margaret Dracken

The years continued to fly by and eventually, the 19th century ended.

Felicia and myself decided to become traveling musicians.

We would go from town to town playing our guitars and singing.

The locals loved it.

April 15, 1912

We were at a pub in the small town of Hilderfield.

There was a small stage at the back of the pub.

I was playing my guitar and singing a song.

The people in the pub were having a great time.

After my song, I sat down at a table with Felicia.

"How was the song?"

"It was great! The people really liked it."

"That's good. Maybe we should stay here for a few days."

"That sounds like a good idea."

"Hey," said a man, "Are you two ladies staying here long?"

"We might be," said Felicia, "why?"

"I was just wondering if you'd like to join me and some friends for a game of poker."

"Poker? We would love to."

"Great," he said, "Follow me."

The man led us to a small room in the back of the pub.

There were four other men in the room.

"Ladies," he said, "Meet my friends. This is Bill, John, and Bob."

"Hi," we both said.

"And this is Tom."

Tom smiled at us.

"Nice to meet you," he said.

"Nice to meet you too," I replied.

"Alright," he said, "Let's get started."

The game was poker.

We all took turns playing cards.

"So," said the man who introduced himself as Tom, "What are your names?"

"I'm Margaret," I said, "and this is my sister, Felicia."

"Nice to meet you," he said.

"It's nice to meet you too," I said.

"Are you guys traveling?"

"Yes," I said, "we are. We like to go from town to town."

"Really," he said, "how long have you been doing that?"

"Oh, for a while," I said.

"Where did you two come from?"

"We come from the Delaware. We are traveling across the United States."

"Incredible, how long have you been traveling?"

"Oh," I said, "It's been a few years now."

"Really," he said, "what is your profession?"

"We are musicians," I said.

"Cut the cards."

The dealer cut the cards and handed them out.

I got a two, three, four, and a five.

"That's pretty good," I said.

"I hope so," said Tom, "I got a pair of queens."
