....PART ONE...
My first story.
Please excuse the roughness.
I hope you like it.
My first story.
Please excuse the roughness.
I hope you like it. Rose was in a forrest, it was dark and she was lost.
"Roselynd! .... Roselynd!" someone was calling her name.
"Were are you? Who are you?" she called back.
"Roselynd!....come to me!"
In the darkness an owl hooted...... Rose woke with a start....
That dream again, it was always the same.
Rose snuggled under the blankets and closed her eyes, it was still dark outside, no need to get up yet.
Sleep deluded her...
Rose got up, "Well I may as well get dressed and start breakfast".
Looking out of the window she smiled, it may be autumn she thought but it looked as if it would be a warm day.
Her mind drifted to her dream "Roselynd" no one called her by her proper name except her mother who had passed on five years ago.
"It was just a dream" she said aloud, just a silly dream she had had every night for the past few months. She turned to get dressed, her brother and father would be up soon and she needed to have breakfast ready for them At breakfast her Father informed her they were to have a dinner party.
"I would like you see to the menu my dear, it is to be a special dinner as the Deadson's are bringing another guest with them".
Andrew, her brother went on "A Mister Alucard is to join us, he is new to the town, from what I heard he is rather wealthy, he must be to buy the old castle...."
Rose promised them she would make them proud. After breakfast Rose started to make the fruit pie she would serve after dinner, her mind wanderd. Father was trying to put a brave front on but things had not been going well for a few years, Father was a colonal in the army but came from a wealthy family who made their money from investments when Father inherited there was a small fortune but the years had not been good, some investments fell and then the big stock crash last year had pretty much wiped them out, the money left was fast running out. That evening Rose sat at her dressing table staring at her refelction.
She tried to be excited about this evening but the thought of meeting someone new made her nervous, Father always said she was too shy and needed to open up a bit, it was the only way to find a husband.
Rose screwed up her face, a husband, no, not for me she thought, not yet. Rose heard the guests arriving and quickly got ready.
She checked the turkey and the table, everything was fine, Father was talking in the hall and she went to join him.
He was talking to a stranger,she stopped, unsure if should she should go up to them?, to late her Father saw her....
"There you are my dear!" he said, "Come and meet our unknown guest" he said.
Rose took a step forward as the man turned towards her, she looked into the darkest eyes she had ever seen. 'There you are my dear, come and meet our unknown guest" Charles said as Justin heard footsteps.
Justin turned and looked at the young woman, "Pleased to me you, Rose!" he said as he looked into blue eyes,"God it's like looking into saphires" he thought to himself, Justin was shocked, he had seen her in his dreams at least he was aware of her presance but to finally meet her...... Quickly he pulled up the bariers, "The Deadsons were talking to your Father last week and mentioned I had moved here, Charles was kind enough to invite me to dinner",
Kind nothing,Rose thought, he was nosey, he didn't like people coming into the town and buying castles without him knowing, she thought to herself, "I'm pleased to meet you Mr Alucard....."
"Call me Justin please", he answerd. The dinner party was a succes and everyone had a good time, the Deadsons had been family freinds for years, Miles father had been good to her family when thier mother passed away so it was always a pleasure to have them round, when Miles married Lucy they were delighted as she was a lovely women and a good friend to Rose.
Unfortunatly Edward Grayson was also with them, father match makeing again, Rose put up with him for fathers sake.
Everyone had fun, Justin kept them entertained with his tales of living abroad.
But through the whole evening she had this funny feeling that some thing wasn't right. Dinner looked very good and everyone eat with relish, Justin listned to the conversation, he turned to look at Rose, "yes" he thought, she is very beautiful, her skin was like porcelin and her eyes were indead like saphires, her hair was golden but sometimes it looked yellow like the sun, at least that's how he imagined the sun, it had been so long since he had seen it, but something was wrong, he felt it, she did look tired but there was something else...something was worrying her, he quickly read her mind, scanning for information and found it, her dream...... Rose turned to see Justin watching her, she tried to turn away but she couldn't.
She stared into his eyes, she blushed, "Please stop looking at me!' she cried to herself, to her surprise he turned to talk to Father as if he had heard her.
Quickly she got up to clear the table for dessert. That night as Rose got ready for bed she thought about the dinner party and how well it had gone.
She was very tired with all the extra work involved but decided it was worth it, of coarse it would help if she was able to sleep properly.
As she snuggled under the covers she thought of Mr Alucard, he was a strange man, he didn't give much away about himself except he had lived in europe, everyone seemed to be a bit in awe of him even Edward was a bit cautious, she thought about his eyes, so dark if you fell into them you would never find a way out and where did he get the scars from, had he been a soldier.
Rose stoped, surprised....
"What am I doing? thinking of him, he was only a man after all, not that I havn't seen one before",
She was in a forrest, it was dark and she was lost.....
"Roselynd!............Roselynd!"............ Justin sat in a chair, he had found this evening interesting.
The Deadsons were nice enough people and he liked Charles and Andrew Swanson.
It was the first time he had met Edward Grayson and he disliked the man, Grayson was a typical spoilt rich kid who had inherited everything from his family and never had to work for a living.
He thought of Rose.....Ahh Rose now there was a surprise, he was taken back by her beauty, she was a very sweet, gentle girl, the prophecy never mentioned this but it did not matter........ He closed his eyes and tried to find her in the sea of thoughts, it took it only a few seconds to find her and tuned his mind to hers, seeing through her eyes, she was sitting at her dressing table, with her long hair down she was even more beautiful, he was surprised to find she was thinking of him, she found him interesting but at the same time she was scared of him too.
At any other time he would have liked to woo her but she was the means to fullfilling the prophecy, a means to an end that was all and when the prophecy was fulfiled he would be done with her, still.... A few days later Rose went to see Lucy Deadson.
In the drawing room Rose explained about he Father's matchmaking with Edward,
Lucy listned "Well my dear you can't do any worse than him, he has money and standing and your family would certainly be better off with your marraige to him".
Rose was unsure but agreed with lucy.
"Look why don't you stay for dinner and we can talk about it?"
Rose accepted the offer and after they got the dinner ready went back to the drawing room.
To Rose's surprise Edward was there talking to Miles and so was Justin.
"I'm sorry my dear" Miles said to Lucy, "I forgot to mention they were coming round for a drink"
"No need to apologize" lucy replied, "In fact would the two of you like to stay for dinner? she asked.
"If its no trouble", they both answerd.
No trouble at all, in fact the more the merrier. Over dinner the conversation wanderd from topic to topic.
Miles asked what Edward thought of the reports in the local paper about these sudden deaths and disaperances.
"The work of a madman" Edward replied, "It has to be the work of a madman, who wants to drain the blood from people".
"What do you think Justin?", Miles asked.
Justin agreed with them both but Rose noticed he seemed quiet and so did Lucy.
"You must have some thoughts to this Justin?", Lucy pushed.
"I haven't been here long enough to make any views but when I do you will be the first to know" he replied with a smile. After dinner the men moved to the drawing room while Lucy and Rose cleaned up.
Lucy walked through to the kitchen laughing at a joke she'd made.
"I do hope the joke is not on me?" Justin asked makeing Rose jump.
"I didn't hear you come in" she stammerd, blushing.
"Why so nervous Roselynd?, you have nothing to fear from me"
Lucy walked back into the room saving Rose from having to answer.
Justin bowed to the two women and rejoined the men.
The evening started to wind down with Justin making his excuses first, he had paper work that really needed doing.
Rose decided it was geting late and needed to get home, as she went for her coat Edward came up to her. "Your Father expresed his wishes for us to marry and I must say I do agree with him, I have always admired you Rose"
"I'm sorry Edward I do not wish to marry you or any one at this moment".
Edward flew into a rage, "YOU will regrat that my dear, no one refuses me!, don't forget your family need my help, what will you do when there's no money left?
With that he stormed out of the house slamming the door behind him. Rose ran into the kitchen just as Lucy was heading for the door.
"Goodness what was all the shouting about?"
Rose told her about Edwards proposel and how she politly refused.
"Well", she said, "It's proberbly for the best, marraige only works with love on both sides".
She hugged her tight, "Unfortunatly I think you have made an enemy of that man".
Rose hugged her back, "I think you may be right".
Justin arrived back at his castle just before dawn.
He had fed well and he didn't mean the meal he had at the Deadsons.
He thought of Rose, it was going to be difficult to make friends with her especially as it was obvious she was scared of him.
"I will have to keep trying, I need her to fullfill the prophecy!". At Edward's home he sat in the drawing room....angry....
"How dare she refuse me", he growled, "HOW DARE SHE!".
Like a child who had been refused a toy, he sat sulking.
"I will get my revenge, one way or another I will own her" "And when I do I will make her pay" Rose woke very early after another bad night.
The dreams wer starting to scare her, but why she couldn't answer.
There was nothing in them to cause her fear so why should she be.
The voice, who was it and what did he want?, there was something else, the voice was familier to her but she didn't know why.
The autumn grew colder, slowly turning to winter.
Rose spent most of her time indoors doing chores but when it was possible she would sit and read the town paper.
More and more people were dissapering, the authorites were urging people especially women to stay indoors after dark. Rose sat in the garden one afternoon, the air was crisp but not to cold. Charles joined her...
"Rose I need to talk to you, I am afraid we are nearly out of money, things are starting to look grim".
"I'm sure you can sort it......"
"That's the problem I can't sort it!" Charles cried, "I have tried Rose I really have tried"
"What are we going to do?" she asked.
"Andrew has started to look for employment but unfortunatly with no experiance it will be difficult for him"
"Is there no way you would even think of marrying Edward, financially it would be good for us?". As we both got to our feet I gave Father a hug, "Please don't ask me to, I just can't imagine being with that man for the rest of my life".
"Very well my dear if you feel that strongly about it, I must admit I do wish a better husband for you than him".
He let go and turned to leave "Are you coming in?"
"Soon, i'll be in soon".
"Don't be to long" he replied, "You don't look to well?'
"I'm fine Father, perfectly well".
Charles nodded but didn't belive her, he knew she was worried about somthing but asumed it was thier financial problems. Rose sat back down.
No money left, Andrew will find work but she knew his income would be small.
"I have to find work"
She thought for awhile, the only thing she was good at was house keeping.
"Well thats it then, I shall look for employment as a house maid". A few days later Justin invited her family to dine with him.
As they drew up to the old castle Rose looked out of the carraige and shuddered.
The old place looked as creepy and run down as ever, a feeling came over her, she wanted to turn and run home but Andrew took her arm. Justin greeted his guests warmly, "Colonel, so glad you could all come" as he spoke to Charles he watched Rose as she looked around the room, She looks nervous he thought, she dosn't want to be here, He turned to Charles.
"Well I hope you are hungry and don't mind my cooking i'm affraid it's the servants night off".
His eyes burned into Rose dareing her to answer.
"I'm sure it will be lovely", she answered as she turned to look at a tapestry.
Rose was surprised, the dinner was very good, Justin was an excallent cook, two things she knows about him.
After dinner the men stayed at the table and had brandy while they talked, Rose went to look at the tapestries, they are obviously very old she thought but to be honest not her style.
Rose turned bumping into Justin, she took a step back but not before she inhailed his scent, Rose's heart started to hammer in her chest.....
"You do not like my wall hangings?" Justin enquired.
"Their very old I can appreciate that". She was embaressed she felt she was being rude to her host. Justin took her hand, "My dear, please don't feel you have to be polite, in fact I admire honesty".
Rose blushed, how did he know? She turned to join her Father but Justin held on to her hand.
"I'm glad you came tonight, it is not often I get to entertain a beautiful women"
"It was nice of you to invite us" she replied blushing even more.
"But I made a special effort for you Roselynd", he whispered as he moved even closer.
She flushed scarlet, she was flattered, embarrased but flattered, she was aware of his scent again and it tore through her body, she suddenly felt uneasy, "I have to get out of here" she thought. The guests gone Justin smiled to himself, the evening went well, Charles was a gentleman and Andrew well although young he expected him to do well in time.
Rose..... she looked tierd, something stired deep within him, something he hadn't felt in a long time, what was it?
Hunger, that was it, he hadn't eaten and he realised he was starving.
With eyes blazing red he thought of food and leaving the castle disapeared into the night. Rose spent her days going through the papers trying to find work but to no avail.
She was getting frustrated, "Surerly someone was in need of a maid!" she muttered one day when scanning the paper and again finding nothing. Edward came over, Charles told him that Rose was looking for employment but having trouble.
"Why dosn't she work for me", Edward suggested, "I need someone reliable and hard working and she certainly has experiance, I will of course pay her well". Charles called Rose through to the dinning room.
Edward and her father explained about the offer, she didn't want to work for him but they needed the money and Edward offered to pay well.
She relucantly agreed.....
They agreed on her pay and working hours, it was decided the she would live in after all there was a madman about swinging the conversation onto that.
Rose made her excuses and went to bed. "Roselynd!"..........."Roselynd!'
She was in a forrest this time by a pond, someone was on the other side calling her.
"Who are you?" What do you want?" she cried in desperation.
"Roselynd!".........."Roselynd!, come to me" the voice called back. The morning came to quickly, Rose woke and lay for a moment, "I don't want to leave home"
Rose sat at the dressing table and looked in the mirror the dark shadows under her eyes were getting worse, "Maybe when i'm there I won't dream" she hoped.
Rose thought of Justin, "Why? here I am about to move out and i'm thinking of that man".
She was scared of him yes but at the same time she found herself attracted to him.
He certainly is a strikeing man, there is a power about him, a strenth that she couldn't deny", she thought of her reaction when he took her hand, "Your'e turning into a silly school girl" she scolded herself, "Why would he be interested in me when he could have a dozan beautiful women".
That afternoon Rose hugged her brother and father wished them well and got in the carraige.
"See you soon" she shouted as the carraige took off.
If only she knew she would never see them again.
30 minutes later she found herself at Edwards.
Edward met her at the gate "Rose my dear so pleased to see you, I trust you had a good journey".....
