All Alone In The Moonlight

Chapter One- Leaving

Anna stood and walked over to the window from her home she could see a HUGE castle which apparently was where Dracula lived. She turned around as her brother Velcan entered the room.
“Anna are you alright?” He asked looking at her with concern.
“Yes I’m fine Velcan but…..Well you know that castle up there on the hill?” Anna asked quietly.
She had just turned eighteen years old and her brother was in his early twenties. “Yes Anna who doesn’t?” He joked smiling.
“Well is it true what everyone says? Does Dracula really live there?” She asked timidly.
“Anna why must you always ask awkward questions?” Velcan snapped.
“But I want to know!” She persisted.
“For God’s sake Anna let it go! Just forget about that stupid castle!” Her brother yelled and with that he left but little did he know that his reaction had given her a better answer than words ever could.

It was about midnight. Anna pulled herself out of the window and onto the large tree branch near her window sill. Carefully she pulled herself across the tree until she reached the trunk were she began to lower herself. The minute her feet hit the floor she began to run. If she was going to be back by morning she would have to be quick. As she reached the edge of the grounds she turned to look back at their home.

It was a large mansion with huge grounds but it was an empty house…..After all now her father was away looking for well she didn’t know what….Anyway now he was gone it was just her and her brother.

Ahh Velcan he tried so hard to make her happy but he couldn’t….Not truly what she wanted was not to be treated like a child which was how he treated her….No she wanted adventure and action in her life to live it to the full and looking in the house which Dracula apparently live in was a good a place to start as any.
She turned and carefully pulled herself up and over the fence.
