The castle loomed against the horizon as Era looked at the weathered brick monument from the wrought-iron gates. Her lilac eyes moved back and forth as she studied the forbidden building with suspicion.
Havenwood Castle had haunted Era's dreams for the last few months, and she couldn't understand why. As a child everyone in Havenwood, stories were told about the castle and who had lived there. Rumor of a vampire residing in the castle was quite popular.
With a sigh, Era moved away from the gate. As she walked back to her home, the hair on the back of her neck stood up. Tingles ran up and down her spine, before she looked over her shoulder to see nothing. Era looked around to see nothing but trees and the road before her.
She shrugged as began to make the trip back home. All the while with the feeling that something or someone was watching her.
