Five hours later Nicholas’ car pulled up to an old mansion in the middle of nowhere.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot to tell you where I live. I was born and raised in Ponca City, Oklahoma. “Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain...” Yeah, I’ve heard that before. Ponca is basically your normal run-of-the-mill small town in the northern part of the state. It’s a place where no matter where you go, you always see someone you know; from either school, church, neighbors, friends’ friends, or maybe even people you just seem to run into a lot. There’s only one Catholic Church, a bunch of other churches, a couple of elementary schools, a middle school spit in two, and a high school. (Go Wildcats!!) Not much big action happens around here, so everyone knows that it’s safe to just go somewhere. Parents don’t have to worry about their kids as much as they would if they lived in a big city. Until Nicholas came along, the most interesting thing that happened to me was a school dance at the Marland Mansion. I am the kind of girl that when someone asks me to a dance, it’s a huge deal. My mom goes crazy on my dress, hair, and makeup, even though I know that it’s not necessary, but I go along with it to make her happy. It's fun, you know?
But other than that, I have the same routine every day. I honestly thought that I always would have the same routine...but Nicholas changed that.
**back to the dark, scary place... ;D jk**
So he took my bags from the car and lead me towards the front door. I must admit I was curious about what was going on, but somehow, I wasn't scared. It must have been for the fact that I was a vampire, and vamps aren't scared of anything. ^-^
The door opened into a grand entryway. The split staircase added to the splendor of the room. A white grand piano was sitting to the left of the door in a small room. I started towards it, hoping to play a short bit, but Nick grabbed my arm and led me to the right where a hidden door was revealed from behind a long, velvet curtain.
We quickly walked down the steep, spiral staircase. I suppose it must have been dark to the human eye. I could see just fine.
"Come on! We must hurry before the change really begins," he said in a stern voice. I knew he meant what he said, even though I didn't know what he meant by it.
All of a sudden, I felt strange, almost like I was mad...and sad...and happy...all at the same time. Nicholas noticed the difference in me, and quickly picked me up and ran. I don't remember much of what happened just then. I remember him lying me down on a bed and giving me something to drink. It was warm and thick, like hot chocolate on a cold winter night. I'm fairly sure that I fell asleep shortly thereafter.
