Notes ______ This is not only a modern retelling of the 1872 story Carmilla by Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu, but a retelling in my style of writing. Therefore, certain characters may not exhibit the same personality traits or knowledge as those in the original work, although I tried to stick to the original as best I could where necessary. Characters and settings I added to this story who were not there originally(in chronological order): The story is set in 2024 Laura's stepfather Rose, Laura's stepsister The room of artifacts (library) The part where Laura and Rose play dress-up, and its relevance to the story The dinner scene Characters and settings removed: Madam and Mademoiselle - Laura's "companions" Carmilla arriving in a carriage, it's not stated because Laura couldn't see outside the door, but Carmilla arrived in a limo ___________________________________________ I wrote Carmilla to speak as if she were a living poem. Her manner of speech was contagious, and Laura ended up speaking the same way she did. To remember Carmilla by, Laura never let go of the habit. I had to strain my brain a teeny bit to be able to write the dialogue and descriptions of events in Laura's POV like that- arrghh but it's all worth it ___________________________________________ Credits _________ The original story of Carmilla by Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu

Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!
