The Beautiful Monsters

A little explination

"Names Carmilla." She grinned, her white teeth on display behind dark red lipstick. She smirked and offered her hand. I took it gently. "So...you're.." A vampire, I'm thinking as she licks some blood from her finger. "A vampire." She finishes for me. "But..don't get me wrong, I don't want to hurt you. You helped me out of that box." "The coffin?" "No, a cereal box." Alright, Sarcastic. "I can't talk, gotta run." "But!" Aaaaaaaaand she's gone. Running into the night. I might have spent more time than I should have looking at her ass. "Hollis!" Oh, it's Laf. "Hey, you alright. IS THAT GUY DEAD" Well shit.

Three hours later and Ive told Perry, Laf, and Danny EVERYTHING. They all had reactions that were expected. Danny thought I'd need constant protection. Perry thought I needed less sugar and the stranger was just a crazy person. Laf thought it was awesome and we needed to look into it.

I agreed with Laf. Because..Honestly I'm not sure why. I'm just gonna say that There's something going on and I need to find out what it is! But first I need a nap. I'm more tired than I've ever been, and I can't blame myself. I wonder what the dream will be this time.

Again, the tree. The hole, the swing. But this time she's sitting on the swing. Crimson blood stains her dress, swinging back and forth and singing. I can't tell what the song is but it's slow and sad, the low pitch and the way her head hangs telling me that she's not okay. I move closer, and I hear "Mircalla! You betray me, and now you expect me to forgive you! HA! The coffin, for you." And a voice, matching the girl I saw "No! Mother, Please!" Nails, chains, and a gurgling noise..Then I see her looking at me. "Carmilla." She said. "My name is Carmilla." The dark skinned girl appears, tall and brazen in her aura. "It's up to you, chew toy." She laughs and disappears.

I just have more questions. I only know that her name is Carmilla..but who's Mircalla? I figured that could be a place to start. But I'm not sure I'll like what I find.

Well, to the library. I open the old oak doors and they creak, as if they haven't been touched in a century. I know thats not true, I was here a week ago, if not less. I sit at one of the monitors and type in "Mircalla" into the school server.

No results.

But theres something in the corner, very small. Lettering thats almost too small to read.

Keep trying. Getting closer.

So I try again. "Carmilla." Again, nothing. The screen blinks and the writing in the corner changes. Not in School Records. Okay, if its not..I go to google. I type in "Carmilla." Alright, couple thousand books, records, nothing precise.
"Carmilla Mircalla. Silas"

One record.

This doesn't make sense..shes been dead for three hundred years. Well, the girl did say she was a vampire, and at Silas I'm inclined to believe it. Lets read on.

Mircalla Karnstein, 16, was a countess in the land of Styria in 1625. She was betrothed to a Baron Vordenberg but sadly died before she could be wed. She was stabbed at a ball.

Nothing interest-wait.

After she died, she was spotted all over the world from France, to the USA, to England. But the sightings stopped in the mid 1800s, for unknown reasons. Perhaps the ghost of the countess has been put at rest?

Yeah, I doubt that.
