"How did you know that was my room " Hanrik whispers to himself and says loudly " I would love to give you the tour of our humble-"
I stop him in the middle of his sentence " Ivan can you show me where you stay I think I would like a room near the library if that's possible."
"Of course lets go " Ivan says as he leads me through a dark green door and what I see amazes me
"Oh my gosh i have never seen so many books this library is the size of my house! " I say as I spin around looking at the walls covered with shelfs all the way to the ceiling and books filling every spot and the floor with piles of scrolls and ledgers piled high.
"Oh yes well I really love reading and my room is on top of the library I love to look at the stars and it's a great view oh yes um there's a spare room over here just up these stairs, go ahead I will be right behind you" he says as he gestures toward a spiral staircase as I climb the stairs I realize that our rooms were right next to each other"my room is across the hall , oh I hope that doesn't bother you."
"It's no problem you have shown me more hospitality than I have seen in a lifetime, um I have a question, um Hanrik seems a little untethered has he always be like that?" I ask
"Ever since we were children"  Ivan answers
"What day is it?"I Ask
"What?"Ivan says confused
"I was knocked out than I fell alseep and I don't know what day it is"I say embarrassed while slightly blushing
"Oh sorry how inconsiderate of me it's Sunday " he says "there no need to be embarrassed" he says as he puts two fingers under up chin lifting my head so our eyes meet as and he speeds away to his room and slams the door and I hear cursing coming from his room.
That was strange I guess I will go talk to Hanrik but if he flirts with me I swear his head is going to be for dinner severed and all! I walk down the staircase and go back into the room where Hanrik sat and see him siting in my chair drinking blood, and I mockingly say "I thought you didn't need much blood to live"
"I don't to live but to be strong on the other hand, that's why Ivan is so weak. Dearie "He Says angrily
"Are you sure I think of it as a weakness what if you get stranded without blood than you my dearie are the weak one the runt of the litter!" I replaced
"Do you wish to anger me!" Hanrik says evilly
"No but that's a plus" I say with a smile
"Oh my dearie you are dead" he takes three steps toward me and sinks his teeth into my neck
just as I manage to pry him off I hear a loud yell "HANRIK HOW DARE YOU HARM OUR GUEST, she has not made one advancement toward you and you let your temper get the best of you what if she decided that she couldn't push you off than what you would be laying on the floor dead how's that for dead." The room goes dead silent  I didn't think he could get angry
  "I um it's time for dinner" a chef  says
"Good set it at the table " Ivan says
"Who put him in charge " Hanrik whispers to me as we walk toward the table and I sit in the middle while Ivan and Hanrik sit at the heads
"Why is this table so long there was only the two of you."I ask quietly
"Ivan couldn't stand to be within ten feet of me but it was a family tradition to eat together so I bought a really long table"Hanrik says
"Oh " I say as I sip my drink
" I am so sorry for getting angry earlier that is not like me I swear I usually have a certain degree of control" Ivan says as
