Chapter 16 -The Old Castle & The Letter

The Old Castle & The Letter

Lorenzo

" What are we going to do now", I said to Santiago. The looks he had on his face shows how scared he is now so I don't expect a better answer from him.

"Lorenzo you are the one who planned the whole thing, think, you should have a plan B." I gave him a look that made him say, " Don't tell me when you planned you just thought on not getting caught throughout, you are supposed to think about the other way round as well"

"We are getting out of here without been seen okay," I said to him.

I told him to follow my steps, luckily I still have little of the leaf with me, we had to hide then I got a perfect time to use the leaf, then the guard sniffs it and fell asleep.

We left in a hurry without looking back till we were out of sight.

"You are lucky I came out alive!", he said to me.

" With me, no harms can come to you, hope you know that", I boasted of myself.

" You still owe me for almost drowning life out of me in that river", he frowned at me.

"Let's go, fine you won I owe you but you owe me a thank you as well"

I had a rethink of what my mother told me when I went to visit her at the place she was locked, I know it will be hard for me to get her out but soon I know my father will release her fully, he will needs his Luna no matter what.

The other thought that hit my mind was, "The other Lycans that left, where could they possibly be right now", she helped them escaped, or did they find a new pack for themselves and a new alpha, I know with time I will find them in one of the packs, the only way they can't be found is when they hide in a pack not familiar to us.

This time around, the nightmare of the strange girl I always saw in my dreams increased, it's like she is in my head.

I woke up from my coffin and decided to go to fathers chamber without being seen since he's not around.

I had to rub some mixture on my body so he won't catch my smell when he arrives.

I opened one of the books I saw in his library, then I started flipping to get anything related to the mystery door.

" Seems is not in this book, let me drop this and check for another", I used my vampire speed to flip every one of the books there till I found what I was looking for, a chapter about the mystery door.

I had to read through to have more ideas about the door because me asking my father the questions in my head, he might suspect something.

Then I wasn't hallucinating, what I saw was real, the door truly reflected, it can only mean one thing, the door to the human world is now very much accessible.

This particular year is indeed very unique, I think I should explore the human world without been seen at all, I took the mixture along with me to rub on my body so no one of my kind can smell or trace me to the door.

I know full well the temptation that will await me there but I just need to be disciplined and make sure no one sees me there, I will just visit it once and continue with my life here.

I also doubt if my kind will ever think of passing through the path that leads to the mystery door, most of them don't know if it's existing or not.

I took some of my drink before leaving and I headed straight to the path I took the last time that will lead me to the mystery door.

I took a deep breath before opening the door, then I took some steps in shutting the door.

I located a little lamp, I put it on walking out of the room I was then I saw a staircase that leads downstairs, "This place is damn big and beautiful, looks old and abandoned, seems no one has been coming in here for a long time no wonder it's so dusty."

I saw a portrait of my father along with my grandfather with another person that looks like my father though I don't know him.

I started checking each portrait on the wall," There she is, I believe she is Lina my father talked about, she is so beautiful just the way father described her in his stories"

I saw a hall which might be the place father talked about where his kinds hold a meeting when it's urgent.

I just kept on checking each place in the old castle till something got my attention, a letter which I decided to sit and read to know what it entails.

" I hope you find this Primus, I might be upset with you for taking my sister's life but sometimes I wondered what will be your gain for killing her, should I believe you or not, am sorry I was too fast in concluding and sending you away, the truth is I wasn't aware what I did, I think I was compelled by one of your kind who is ready to wipe you out, I feel that kind wants you all to return to your world for his plans to work out fine but I hope the witch I asked to lock the door to our world did what I said. Each day I come here with our favorite flowers hoping to see you one day, seems it's never happening again, and your cousin the witch I expected never came back. When you left the throne was taken from me and my people rebelled against me, the lady at the garden that believed you were not a monster sheltered me, I miss you and I love you so much, till we meet again. From Lina".

I got so confused reading this letter," I bet father never knew any of this, what if the person that did all these was the one that killed his father, What happened to father cousin truly, father only said she was killed by her kind after they returned from the human world" I concluded in doing some digging to trace back what truly happened, I heard a voice outside the castle saying, "Anyone in".

" Human", I came out to see for myself who has that charming voice, I stood like a statue looking at her," She is the strange girl from my dream".
