They removed the sack from her face and her heart skipped a beat as she saw the castle. Even though she knew what was going to happen was set, she wanted to run away. Run away from being a slave.

Run away from being a wife.

She looked around her and saw 20 other girls with her, each with different looks on their faces. Some were ecstatic, some intrigued, others scared.

She was all three.

The large door opened and an escort ushered them inside. They were washed, fed and clothed in the prettiest dresses they had ever seen.

Finally, she was called and when she looked around, she realized that she was the only one left. She rose and walked into the room and her eyes widened in shock at what she saw.

Dead bodies lying all around and only two seemed to be alive; just staring at the sky with their hands on the side of their necks, moaning softly.

"I-Isabella..." She responded in fear as he took her hand, kissed it and inhaled her.
"Isabella Medici..." he murmured as he straightened his silky-white hair.

Wait...

Wasn't he supposed to have black hair?

"Unlike the others, you are the one in looking for. I can smell it on you; you are the perfect specimen."
Before she could say anything, he forced a goblet onto her mouth, the content dirty and horrible. But before she could catch her breath, she saw his eyes change colour.

Right before Vlad the Impaler snapped her neck.
