ambitious to be forgiven. Her eyes had changed, all the past years of wisdom stared by at Ginger.
It was a bite unnerving, as if years of mistakes needed redemption. Sure Penny was an amazingly kind woman now, why else would Dani have chosen her.
The past has a way of influencing the future. Things would never be the same, and losing her parents made Ginger hold life more precious. She smiled to herself, and looked up to see a huge tower. It was like a scene out of Lord of the Rings.
It also looked like a mixture of a lighthouse. The top was spinning slowly but counterclockwise.
A curse!
Ginger didn’t know how she knew, but somehow she knew a curse had been placed on this place.
She wonders, “Is that why vampires feed off blood? Are these people cursed?”
Chapter Twenty-One:
Jurnee felt it safest if she goes first to inquire about speaking to the vampire lord. She could regenerate if attacked or hurt and Penny seemed ready to use her magic if they were attacked. Rolan had invited them here, but he wasn’t their personal escort so who knew if they’d be let in.
Jurnee used her super speed to check doors and windows to try and get inside. All were locked, which Ginger knew after reading her mind to relay to the others.
Penny asked, “Should I use a spell?”
Stacey answers “Wait a second.”
Ginger replies, “Wait into necessary. We don’t know what we are facing, and like Feltus are magic may be blocked.”
Penny nods.
Jurnee comes back and says, “I see no way inside.”
Ginger asks, “What do we do now?”
Stacey shrugs.
The four stare back and forth at one another.
Stacey says, “Screw it. I’ll handle this.”
She walks to the big tower, holds her hands out and starts using magic. The bright orange glow and slowly pieces of the tower started to melt to evaporate.
Ginger shouts, “What are you doing?”
Stacey replies, “Using my powers to get someone’s attention.”
Jurnee asks, “Is that a safe idea?”
Before she could answer a door appeared. It was as if there all along. Out steps a pixie girl 5’3 brown hair, fair skinned. She was about 15 by the looks of her, but something about her was different.
The girl smiled and her eyes zeroed in on Ginger as if she knew her thoughts.
Ginger wonders, “What the hell?”
The girl says, “My name is Natalie Abernathy Grayson. Follow me please.”
Jurnee looked at Ginger to Stacey for conformation to go.
Ginger thinks, “I don’t wanna enter her head. Something is off about that girl.”
Stacey says, “Sure thing.”
She follows Natalie with Jurnee and Penny following.
Ginger says, “I have a bad feeling about this.”
Chapter Twenty-Two:
The inside the tower was strange. Everything was modern, and there was nothing but open space. Magic! Ginger could sense it, all around her and lots of it.
Stacey asks, “Where are you taking us?”
Natalie responds, “To see my father.”
Jurnee asks, “Who is that?”
Natalie answers, “The vampire lord Daniel. He is your father as well, no?”
She looks at Jurnee for acknowledgment. Jurnee says nothing as they take long hallways from floor to floor as if the place doesn’t have an elevator.
Ginger says, “An elevator would be convenient.”
Natalie laughs and states, “Why humans are constantly fat! I have lived as a vampire for over seven hundred years so my steady diet and working out. This doesn’t bother me.”
Stacey mumbles, “Lucky you.”
Ginger laughs along with the other girls.
Natalie takes a left on one hallway and opens a door. The plush carpets and all white and green room reminded Ginger of a snowy Forrest.
Penny asks, “Why are we here?”
A deep manly voice answers, “I asked her to bring you.”
Four set of eyes stare up to see Daniel Oris Worthington. The tall 6’5 dark haired beauty was over three
