*Criss Angel Forever Imagines* (Book 3)

*IMAGINE 72*

You and your friends were hanging out walking around the city streets at night...when one of your friends gets the urge to go to the abandoned mansion on the edge of town...and go in through the celler...and have fun exploring it...for she heard that other kids have done it, and never were heard from again...and your friends brother says that it was haunted...but you didn't believe in all that hokum about hauntings...and evil entities...so you were all up for it...plus you really loved that old mansion...you thought it was beautiful.

So you and your friends head toward the house...then as you approach the front gates that was rattling and loose...and only held on by one hinge...you slowly opened it...as the squeaking noises sent chills down you and your friends backs. Once you all entered into the massive yard...you were all engulfed in a garden-like maze...that went in many different directions...you asked your friends if you should all stay together...or each go down a separate path and see where they lead...then you added with a chuckle the last one to the mansions front step...had to do everyone's book report that was due at school Monday. All your friends agreed and headed down the different paths.

You made it to the mansion first...and as you made it up the stairs...you yelled out very clearly that you made it first!!...just then the mansion's door slowly creaked open...you turned around and like in all the horror movies you just had to investigate...right as you walked in the door...it quickly slammed shut behind you...you got a little panicked but reached out for your flashlight and looked around...the rooms were all massive...and the floors were made out of marble...and the ceilings were decorated better than the Cystine Chapel...it was actually very beautiful...you checked out all the ancient artifacts that decorated each room...then you looked at the very large double layered staircase that led to the second floor of the giant house.

You were now very excited, as you walked up the stairs at a steady pace...looking at all the statues...and ancient tapestries that covered the walls...once you made it to the top of the stairs...you see a very large and old oil painting of a rather handsome gothic guy...his hair was jet black and was very long...you looked down both hallways...trying to decide which way to go first...after contemplating on it...you decide to go left first...you after you made it halfway down the left hall...you hear a door squeak open...you turn around quickly thinking it was some of your friends playing games with you...but no one was there...so you kept exploring.

You finally made it to the end of the hall and looked out the window...thinking you would be able to see where your friends are...and if they even made it out of the maze yet...but when you looked...the front yard wasn't the same...there was no maze!!...there wasn't even a sidewalk or a road that led back into town!...all you could see was the water fountain, and a heavy fog all around the mansion...you slowly step away from the window and turn around to head back downstairs...for you had enough exploring, and you thought it was time to go home...you make it to the stairs, and hear the door creaking again...you look down the hallway on the right side, and you drop your light as you see the guy from the tapestry standing in the middle of the hallway on the other end...and he was staring right at you.

You drop to the floor searching aimlessly for your flashlight...but when you dropped it...it turned off...you heard noises of him getting closer, and you begin to panic...but you couldn't run...for it was too dark...then you hear a light breathing right next to you...and a light turns on...the guy was holding your flashlight and he in a very creepy voice asked you if this was what you were looking for. You slowly stood up and said yes...he gave you a slight smile and handed you the flashlight...you began to tell him that you didn't know anyone lived here...and that you didn't mean to trespass...but...he stopped you, and said it was completely fine...that he was actually used to unexpected visitors...and rather liked their company.

He spun around and snapped his fingers...and all the lights came on in the mansion...you turn off your light, and ask him who he was...he tells you his name is Crisstopher...and that he was the lord and master of this castle...you giggle at him, and tell him it's a good sized mansion...but not really castle material...Crisstopher turned and grinned...and said you mastered the maze and made it into the house...once you walked in...the illusion disappeared...and that you, in fact, were in a castle in Transylvania...not in a mansion in the city of New York.

You looked around and asked where your friends were at...he simply said safe and sound back in the illusion of the maze...for only one path...led to the house's front door. You then asked him why all the illusions and mazes...Crisstopher looked right at you, and said for his protection from the outside world...plus every now and then it was nice for a meal to accidently find their way into his web...you stopped and backed up and asked him what he meant by that...he turned to you and showed you...he was no ghost...he was a vampire! his eyes were white, and he had fangs and talons at his fingertips...you wanted to scream but nothing came out...

You turned wanting to run...but he just chuckled and appeared in front of you once more...when you realized there was no way out...you just dropped down and sat on the floor...begging him not to kill you...he knelt down and asked you not to cry...for it was such a waste of good suffering...then he said he would make it quick and painless...it would feel as if floating into a dream...and quite peaceful...as he pulled you up...you asked him through hysterics if there was any way to get out of this fate...for you didn't want to die...Crisstopher stopped to ponder on that question for a while...then you added that you would do anything.

Crisstopher said that there was one way to get out of becoming his meal...you ask him what it was...he grabbed you and looked right at you, and said become like him...and live with him for all eternity...for it was rather lonely here...but so far, every female that came along...always chose to run...or fight...or they said they'd rather die...he quickly turned to you and asked you what your choice was going to be...you were very afraid...but you said that you wanted to live. Crisstopher took you by your hand and wiped your tears...and said and so you shall...as my soul-mate. He sank his fangs into your neck and fed a little on you...then you felt a strange tingle run throughout your body...like volts of electricity pulsating within you.

Crisstopher removed his fangs from your neck and carried you bridal style to his sleeping chamber...and gently laid you on the bed. As you woke up he looked down at you and said welcome to eternity as his wife. But he was so beautiful...that you decided it wasn't the worse thing that could have happened...and you didn't have to worry about him finding someone else better than you. You pulled him down to you and said give me one more of those dynamite hickeys of his...he grinned and crawled in on top of you...and said he loved your sense of humor. You playfully tell him good...for he was going to be stuck with you for a very long time.
