Dracula's Castle

Chapter 3

I climbed the stairs of the castle and reached the gate. Slowly my trembling hand found it's way to the door knob. The door opened with a screech. I entered the castle. The room in which I was had a grand chandelier which lightened the whole room. I steadily walked further into the room. There was a door in front of me. I entered it. There was nothing just some tables, chairs, and few cupboards in every room. It had been 20 minutes I have been walking from one room to another but no sign of the Dracula anywhere. Suddenly a loud unearthly voice boomed into the whole castle. I started looking everywhere for it's source or maybe I was trying to run away from it. I took the path from where I came to go back to the front door. I entered another door and screamed at the top of my lungs. There on my opposite side of the room stood a monster covered in black fur. He had long ears like an animal. Long black claws and a pair of sharp fangs. He also had huge black wings on both the sides. His crimson red eyes boring into my black ones. Terrified at the sight I ran towards the door but didn't heard the monster behind me. I reached the front door and tried opening it but it didn't opened. I was banging loudly and screaming for help. By now I was shaking furiously. I heard footsteps coming closer. Slowly I turned around. There I saw the monster on the other side of the room standing at the door way. He was looking towards the ceiling. I looked upon where he was looking and saw a bunch of garlic hanging there. I looked around the whole room and saw more bunches of garlic hanging at the ceiling. Suddenly I remembered what my Granny had said " Vampires are afraid of the garlic". I relaxed a bit and saw the vampire turning back around and leaving.
