The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I'm sitting in the grass, feeling the blades brush against the skin on my legs. I look up and notice an old castle.

The flags are torn at the edges and fluttering in the wind. Other than the rips, they look new. The star and moon design on the blue background is really bright against the grey stone...

The drawbridge is down, and it seems like anyone could enter.

That's as far as I got before I woke up because of pancakes.

The girl looks like a child. She wears a dress that falls to her knees and spreads over the edge of the chair. She's barefoot and she looks like she'd been crying for hours.

The locks have weird designs on them. One is covered in five pointed flowers. Another in cracks and swirls. The cage's bars are smooth and bare.



I snap my fingers to try and attract the girl's attention. Nothing.



The bars are wide enough that anyone could slip through them. I do.



In the cage, I move toward the girl.

She looks up, but her hair falls in her face. I can't see her eyes, but the tear tracks on her face show how she spends her time.



Questions run through my mind, a million a minute. Why is she here? Why is she crying? Why is she alone? Can I help her? Who put her here? Did she come here? Why hasn't she left? What person would stay here? Why is this place here?

None of those questions were answered.

I reached toward her and she screamed.



I woke up, feeling confused and scared.

I visualize an ocean, neither calm nor stormy. It's always moving in strange swirling motions.

The beach is bare, no shells or stones, just clear sand.

I visualize a house. It's undecorated and the door is ajar. Walking through the house, I find abandoned furnishings and a spiraling staircase. I go down.

The landing at the bottom opens like a cave. The ground is made of solid stone, until it reaches the foot of a cage. In the cage is a chair. In the chair is a girl. She doesn't notice anything. The cage has seven locks and there are no keys.
