Anica looked around. The room was dark. She tried to scream but she had been gagged. She tried to move but her hands and legs were bound to a chair. Let me go! She tried to scream, but all you could hear were muffled pleas.

She struggled some more hopelessly hoping to loosen the bonds. This is what he had done to Ray, and now he’s going to do it to me. Her eyes were opened wide with fear. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Sweat rolled down her forehead and dripped onto her white shirt.

The cold air in the dark room taunted her. It was a reminder of her grave situation and how helpless she was. Anica screamed some more and tried to squeeze her hands out of the ropes when she when she suddenly stopped and sati dead still in her chair. Someone was coming. She could hear their silent footsteps softly hitting the wooden floor. Her sheer fear consumed her and she was too afraid to even blink. She sat there quietly listening to the footsteps when they suddenly stopped. Her breathing was shallow and erratic and she began to shake. She could just about her a doorknob turn and she watched in horror and the door before her opened with a creek. A dark suited figure stood there watching her.

After a pause the figure entered the room and walked towards her. The figure stopped directly in front of her and she recognized that pale complexion, those bloodied fangs and those silver eyes of an unnatural predator. Just as the realization set in Lord Drake opened his mouth and neared to bite her.

Anica screamed and sat up in her bed, hitting her head against someone else’s in the process. This knocked her back into the bed and she opened her eyes and looked into the bewildered ones of Drakes. She screamed again.

Drake backed up a little. It was ten thirty in the morning and Anica hadn’t arrived for breakfast yet. This worried him so he had decided to go see what was taking her so long, only to find the maid standing outside her bedroom chambers softly knocking on the wooden door. After some hesitation he opened the door and went inside. He found her still asleep and tossing and turning in the bed. She was sweating and it seemed like she was having a bad dream. He stealthily crept towards her bed, not wanting to spook her. As he leaned in she awoke and hit her head against his. She opened her eyes and screamed when she saw him. This was a bad idea.

Anica stared at him wide eyed. She was sweating and breathing heavily.  Her chest was rising and falling in rapid successions and she was desperately trying to calm herself. The room was filled with silence save the sound of Ancia’s heavy breathing.

“Are you all right?” Drake asked sounding rather concerned.

Anica simply nodded. Then they stared at each other some more.

“Do you… Maybe want some breakfast?”

“No… I’m not hungry.”

“Ok… So what would you like to do then?”

“I just want to go home.” She said meekly.

No one said anything for a while.

Drake was a little peeved at this but he didn’t want to say anything it would unnecessarily upset both of them.

“Besides that… What would you like to do here.”

She was quite for a while, Anica didn’t really want to be here in the first place.

“I just want to be alone.” She said finally, not really wanting to spend any time with him.

Drake nodded and left.

Anica lay in bed for a while not really doing anything. She just thought about home and everything and everyone there.

She was just about to go for a bath when she heard someone knock on the door.

The knock was followed by a male voice. “May I enter My Lady?”

“Um… Yeah I guess.”

Anica watched as the door opened and a relatively good looking man entered. He looked around twenty to twenty five. He had sandy hair and a gorgeous smile.

He bowed at the door and was holding a tool box of some sort in his hand.

“Who are you?”

“I am Raltz My Lady. I work at Lord Drake’s palace. I have come to fix your window.”

Anica turned to see the beautiful window. “It looks fixed to me.”

“Yes, but the locks haven’t been installed yet.”

Anica stared at him in disbelief. So it was OPEN!

“Now if you will excuse me My Lady.” He said bowing again and went to fix the window. She watched him work for a while and then she wondered if he stayed in the castle too. It would be reassuring to have another human around.

“W-Where do you stay? I mean… do you like live here in the castle or something?”

By then Raltz had finished with the window and had gotten up to leave. “No My Lady.” He said respectfully. “I live in the town.”

“Huh. Lucky you.” And then, just like that, it struck her. “Wait. When do you leave the palace? Take me with you.”

“I’m sorry My Lady. I can’t. If Lord Drake found out… I’m sorry. I just can’t. I have a wife and two children to take care of. I cannot put their lives on the line. I’m sorry.” Saying this he reached for the doorknob.

“No! Please! Stop! Help me!” She ran, trying to keep up with him but her long gown got entangled in her feet and she tripped and fell. Raltz turned and knelt down, trying to help her up.

Then, in a hushed voice he said, “Lord Drake is a very lonely man. There aren’t any vampires other than him left here. Juliet was murdered and he hasn’t made any friends with his people. He’s not a bad person really, just lonely. It’s not that hard to warm up to him. If you want to get out… do what you were brought here for. Your Juliet’s replacement… So replace her.”

Saying this he took my arm and helped me up, bowed a final time and left.

She spent the rest of the day pondering over what he said. Replace Juliet.

She wasn’t even sure if she knew what that even meant!
