Little Mara is in an unfamiliar place, lying on a white bed, wearing white silk pajamas, around the bed an encircling of red and black orchid ornaments.
Opening her eyes, she looked at her surroundings, but could see nothing beyond the bed and the circle of orchids. She sat up in bed, her eyelashes flickering.
"It's all dark..."
"Where am I..."
"HELLO! ..." hello... ello... llo... lo... o...
Unable to stop herself from screaming, her voice echoed in the place, but the echo did not stop and continued as if the place was infinite.
Unsure of what was happening, the last thing she remembers happening was having Ursula's head in her lap and comforting the vampire housekeeper. But apart from that, how she got there, she didn't know.
The uncertainty in the dark didn't make her panic, but it made her uncomfortable.
