I open my eyes. I blink, trying to look properly at my surrounding. It is my room, yet, something seems off. I sit upright, and wince in pain. My head hurts, and I feel like I am unable to focus. Did I drink something last night?

I try to move, but it felt kind if difficult to do so. Really, what is wrong with me?

I think I dreamt of something disturbing. But somehow, I don't remember. Getting out of bed, however reluctant, I head for the washroom to clean up.

Brushing my teeth, I notice something unusual about my neck. I pull down my T-shirt, and see a red spot. A mosquito bite, perhaps? But it doesn't itch. I try to scratch the place, but flinch. It hurts.

"Ugh. Life is so shit." I mutter to myself. Was there a bug inside the house? My pure skin was ruined by that crap of a bug. Tsk.

Suddenly, I blush. My face felt hot, and I was extremely embarrassed. What?! Why?! I frantically think about what happened to my neck, because this is seriously bothering me. It looks....like a freaking hickey.

I run outside the bathroom, and notice that the window inside my room was open. I never leave the windows open. How did an intruder even get inside? And the intruder actually dared to give me a hickey.

Cursing, I inspected the room for any missing items. I had nothing valuable, and he did not steal any of my computer parts. So why was this person even inside my house? Rather, HOW DID HE GET INSIDE?

I frown, clenching my hand into fists. No security at all in this place. I need to grow up, and fast.

Come to think of it, isn't this REALLY creepy?!

I look at the time, and see that it was really late. I missed my school anyways, so I will have to go to my part time job now.

"Welcome sir." I said, with my usual smile. I recognise the customer who just entered the Bakery Shop. People can't really forget such eye catching red hair. Even though I forgot about him once.

"Yes yes." He said, annoyed. "I waited for you in your school yesterday. Why were you not present?"

"Eh? Was I supposed to meet you?

"Yes you were!"

"Oh." I said, frowning in confusion.

"Are you busy now?" He asked, clearly irritated.

"Um, not really. I'm just doing some extra work—"

"Then come with me now."

"You do realise that you sound extremely suspicious right?" I asked, amused. He scoffed.

"Just talk to your boss or something. I'm waiting outside."

i show him a thumbs up, and rush towards my boss. He was watching a movie, and looked extremely peaceful. I smiled at the sight. Old people truly are fascinating. I can never tell what goes inside their heads.

"Hello boss. I kind of wanted to take a break for today. A..uh.. friend of mine wanted me to visit him." I said, kind of uncomfortable.

"Isn't that man kind of old to be your boyfriend? He might cheat on you, you know." He asked, smiling. I frantically shake my head, strongly denying.

"No no, he isn't like that. He is my FATHER'S friend." I said, grinning. The old man just chuckled and told me to go ahead. I thank him, and go outside towards the black car.

It was one of those old-fashioned Mercedes cars, so I have no idea about them. I only care for the latest ones.

We both sit inside, and I immediately look at him. He started the manual car, and slightly glanced at me.

"I'll be taking you to his old cabin, back in one of the Reinhart mansions." Klaus said curtly.

"How many mansions are there?" I asked curiously.

"8 in this country." He said.

"Oh." I don't bother to ask any more. These vampires are really rich, I see.

"Why do you have an American accent?" He suddenly asked. "Did you not live here all your life?"

I smile. "Hmm, let's see, because I like this accent?"

"Don't be vague. Answer clearly."

"I don't want to. It's something people do not ask me." I said, speaking in the British accent. "Is this fine with you?"

He sighed, but doesn't say anything.

He takes me to a typical Victorian - style mansion, and I stare at it's magnificence. But, it was smaller than I thought.

"This is where the young master keeps his study materials."

"You mean, this is like his study?"

"Yes."

I make a weird face. These people are ridiculously rich.
Honestly, I don't like rich people. They are narcissistic, arrogant, and spoilt. Everything is handed to them on a golden platter. I am not envious or anything. It's just that, looking at this mansion, I realise how unfair humans are made. I smile bitterly, remembering what we had to go through because of financial problems. While we had to live by begging others for loans, these people were throwing food away like garbage.

I do not want to go inside.

But in order to know more, I have to look.

Clenching my fists, I go inside.

I was guided to this library, and on the far right of this library, there was a camouflaged door. Klaus opened it, and told me to go inside. I step inside, and immediately, a clicking noise is heard. It's as if some lock just opened. Klaus looks around, alert.

Count on my father to put a hidden treasure in his cabin.

Rolling my eyes, I sit at the chair, and open some drawers. There are many papers, and there were just formulas of some chemical reactions. And other science stuffs.
The third drawer had papers of vampire affairs, which I find boring. But there was something I noticed. After every report he wrote, there was a red fingerprint at the end. I smell it, and an ugly smell of blood shocks me. A blood seal or something?
When I was about to open the fourth drawer, for some unfathomable reason, I looked at the upper part of the third drawer, and sure enough, there was a file stuck there. I try to take it out, and dust falls like a waterfall from it. Looks old.

"There was a file there?" Klaus said, confused. "But all my lackeys said there was nothing else."

"You already checked this place? Then why am I here?" I asked, slightly offended. Other men checked out my father's cabin before me. And he dares to bring me here to check again?

"I apologise. I do realise it was heartless of us, but we needed to check this place."

"Were you searching for something?" I asked. He looks away, not replying. "The least you could do is tell me your reason."

"Uh, yes. We had to check, if he betrayed us. That's all I can say for now. Why don't you check out the file in your hand?" He said, unfeeling. Well, he lies in a professional way.

I scoffed, and opened the file. I see numerous reports of autopsys.

Uh, and what is so secretive about that?

But the dead bodies make me slightly blue.

Biting my lip, I try to read something.

These are autopsys of humans who died because of Lunatics. They all looked withered, with unfocused eyes and their body twisted in unnatural ways.

"Hmm.." I said softly.

And then, at the last report, there was a baby's picture. This baby had weird blue visible veins all over, and had luminous green eyes. A report on a baby? With a group of autopsys?

But the report on this baby is blurred. I'd understand if the letters were covered with a black marker, but is it possible to blur it? It's like it's censored. Did they print it wrong? I look at Klaus, and he was busy talking on the phone. I swiftly look around, but there are no cameras. I take this report out, and stuff it inside my bra. I drop the file on the table, and walk around the room. I need to search for the clicking noise. I entered this room with my left foot, stepping on the wooden floor with a slight thud. I look towards the door, and the floor. How would my father know if it was his daughter who came inside?

"Klaus, are there any female vampires?" I asked.

"Huh?" He stopped talking, and looked at me. "Yes, there are."

Then my theory was incorrect. If somehow he made something that would understand that a female had entered and unlock, then they would already figure out the hidden object. Did he make something that would only unlock when a human enters? That is plausible.

I continue looking at the corners, and find nothing. I think of all the horror movies I've watched. What should I do if there is something that I cannot see, but I have to?

Take pictures, of course!

I take pictures of random places in this room, and sure enough, I find a box. I go towards the invisible box, and touch it. It goes visible.

Aren't I a genius?

I open the box, and find, some bottles of pills.

Pills, huh. Was he sick? What a letdown.

I take a container, and look at the pills. It has no label whatsoever. And the pills had this neon blue - like powder inside.

It awfully resembles the pills I found in my father's lab.

Is this for me? 

Looking back, I see that Klaus is still talking on the phone. I take the 5 bottles in my bag stealthliy.

I need to get out of this place now.
