I did not want to sink under water again, but when I looked down, I saw something glowing there. A gleaming pure but soft white light seemed to me like a piece of a soul or an angel! So I sank under the blood again.
The glowing thing under water looked like a fairy and it started singing:
“Hear my whisper,
breaking the silence,
I need your help,
the son of death,
please, let me go
and teach me to dance,
before darkness
will make you mad.
Find a key
in the Dracula's house,
and open the door
to the living,
do not get scared
of a little mice,
the evil leave,
you needn't running.”
When it stopped singing I came out of the lake and wanted to run away.
However, the gate was closed, so I couldn't go further. I looked back on the house and then I collapsed.
In the morning the time was really wonderful. The day was bright, the sun was shining and green trees and birds… I was very delighted, but the gate hadn't been opened yet. I was
locked in the haunted house.
When I looked again at the house, I saw a beautiful building hidden in the middle of a garden full of flowers. I had forgotten about the last
night and started singing and walking in the garden.
I knocked on the door but nobody opened it. I went around the house three times.
When I started walking the fourth round, I was very surprised, when I saw a little, wooden hut in the garden, behind the house. I could have sworn I hadn't noticed it before.
There was a chimney smoking on
the roof of the hut and I started to be hungry. There was a little door to the hut, so I knocked on the door and a tiny, old woman opened it.
