August. The name of one of the hottest months but her destiny is to become as cold as ice.
August left her life in Whitby to save everyone she loved, but she has to move on and deal with the few new problems in her life.
When she turns 18 she will...
I looked out of the tiny window and I remembered the memories that lied in the massive castle that was approaching me. I didn't dare look closer into the blood stained walls so I shut the window shutter and kept looking forwards at the aquamarine seats. Aquamarine is my favourite colour because it soothes me as when I see the colour it looks like the ocean drifting from one wave to the other, calmly and without care it is free to go where ever it likes without being pushed or forced into anything.
" August!" Said my brother looking at me worriedly.
"Yes, sorry,I just lost focus for a moment."
"August in the castle you need to keep focused because there might be people there already as it gets dark in Romania quickly."
"WHAT?!"
"Whoa calm down..."
"Darius no offence but I haven't seen anyone in such a long time and I want to make the right second impression."
Darius looked at me like he was a puppy that has just been told off for eating something he shouldn't and I blinked and as soon as I opened my eyes my brother had turned himself into a husky giving me actual puppy eyes I guess that is his spirit animal.

We finally landed onto safe ground and as soon as I stepped out of the jet a brand new BMW i8 is waiting for us with obviously custom leather seats that heat up in winter. He was waiting for us and he did something I didn't expect. He ran up to me and twirled me around in the air and gave me a hug it was cold but still it was a hug.
"August I missed you. You left without even telling me goodbye." All the happiness that I had just felt just melted away and it was replaced with guilt.
"I'm sorry." I whispered in his ear.
"It's alright because you came back but promise me you will never leave again without telling me!" He is hurt it is obvious in his eyes and his words.
"I promise"
"Good" suddenly he realised what he was here for what he was used for and he Came back into reality.
"I'm Justin Door and I will be driving Miss August and Mr Darius Blake to Bran Castle."
And with a click of my seatbelt and a long and funny conversation with my brother we arrived.
The massive castle came into view, with bricks as big as a large suitcase, the towers towered over everything in view even the forest that tried to conceal the monstrosity that is the 16th century castle that sits quietly in the day and by night is buzzing with guests and the extremely long polished oak table that could sit at least 30 people at minimum. The huge oak doors with their massive rusted handles awaited the instruction to open and the massive garden that surrounded the castle made a sort of fence as if they were telling people to come inside but possibly to others to tell them to keep away. The bright red roses were standing still unless a gust of wind would gently blow on them making them sway from side to side as if hypnotizing the guests and intruders to look at them. Of course there were no intruders as the whole of the village would know what would happen if you trespassed as the sort of royalty that lived in this castle are not kind royalty, they are the royalty that are never to be disturbed unless absolutely necessary.
" Well, Well, look who it is, coming to my house for help..." you could hear it in her voice the thrill of winning an argument meant a lot to her as she never forgot. " I think that someone owes myself and their uncle an apology... Don't you Darius?"
