Few hours later ..
Clara mounted on her horse and Dracula mounted on his too .
"Where's Amaranth?" Clara asked .
"Am here" Amaranth who just came to the stable replied .
"Mount your horse already " Dracula ordered and she snorted, then mounted the horse .
"I didn't know you can mount a horse , considering the fact that you're new to our world "
"I do go to the beach where I and my friends ride horses and have fun " She said with a painful smile .
"Is that so ?" Clara replied
"Yup "
"So what happens in the beach , tell me about your last one there " Clara asked
"I went there with my boyfriend and caught him making out with another girl " Amaranth replied
"That's horrible"
"Coming from you who make out with a married man , aren't you horrible?" Amaranth asked with a smile but got no reply from Clara .
"Let's go " Dracula said then they left the mansion and went to the woods .
"That's a deer! " Clara said and shot the deer .
The deer fell and started wriggling on the floor .
"Nice target , Clara " Dracula said .
"That Deer will die soon "
"Of course , it'll die cause it got shot " Clara shrugged .
Amaranth closed her eyes and placed her hands on the injured spot of the deer and it closed up . The deer got up instantly like it didn't get shot .
"Thanks ,Amaranth" The deer spoke but only her was able to hear it .
"You're welcome " She smiled and the deer ran away .
"How did you do that ?" Clara asked
"I don't know"
"So what other powers do you have " Clara asked and Dracula coughed a little.
(Trust no one in this mansion !") She heard in her head .
"Uhm.. Am still new to this power stuffs, I was surprised, I healed an animal " She said with a smile
"So you've not had any outburst of powers before ?" Clara asked
"I have "
(I won't warn you again !") She heard Dracula's voice in her head .
"So what happened when your powers bursted out "
"I have no idea , I can't remember a thing .I only woke up to hear that my powers bursted out "
"Who told you that ?"
"A spy who's been killed by me " Dracula replied .
"Who sent this spy?" Clara asked
"You've been asking lots of questions are you in need of a particular information?" Dracula asked
"No , I just wanted to catch up on events I've missed " She replied
"So , what powers do you have ?" Amaranth asked .
"I can appear and disappear whenever I want to "
"That's cool , any other powers ?"
"I can move objects"
"Wow , tell me more "
"My throat feels dry, can we continue this some other time ?"
"Yes but just one more "
"Alright "She replied
"Do you have a familiar?" Amaranth asked and Dracula turned to Clara inquisitively .
"Not really " She replied
"So is that a yes or no "Amaranth asked .
"Nope " Clara replied and Dracula smirked .
"Amaranth, you once said you needed an animal to keep you company " Dracula said
"Yeah, but Drac's been keeping me company " She smiled .
"Drac ?" Clara asked with an astonished face
"Yeah "
"That's rare cause Drac doesn't stay with anyone other than Dracula" Clara said and Amaranth shrugged .
"I have a cat that'll keep you company" Dracula said and Clara felt uneasy.
"Wow , a cat ! what does it look like ?" Clara asked
"Its green in colour " Dracula said and Clara breathed out an air of relief .
"Thanks but I don't need it "
"Loroo,will get you the cat " Dracula said with an air of finality .

Clara was pacing around her room when her personal servant came in .
"I sent furry to keep an eye on Amaranth, but I've not seen her for some days "Clara said to the maid, named Agatha.
"Try locating her by connecting your inner power to hers "
"I've done that but I still can't feel her "Clara replied
"Do you think Dracula has a hand in it ?"
"90%"
"Then we have to start looking for her , am sure she's somewhere in this mansion "
"If Dracula messes with me , Amaranth will pay the price " Clara said and her eyes turned violet .

Knock knock
Amaranth opened the door of her room to see Clara , standing with a tray of food .
"Can I come in ?"Clara asked
"Sure " Amaranth replied .
"I noticed you've not been eating well , so I brought this for you " Clara said with a smile.
"Thanks but am fed now "
"How ? I mean you literally ate nothing in the dining "
"Dracula brought food for me "
"That's nice but when ?"
"Before we went for hunting .I was forced into eating actually"
"Alright but I'll feel bad if you don't eat mine too .I want to know you more so can we be friends ?"
"Nope "
"Please ?"
"Alright "
"Thanks, so the cat .Have you seen it ?" Clara asked
"No but I don't even want it "
"You should . You're lucky to have one "Clara said.
"Thanks"
"I'll take my leave now but I have one request for you"
"What's it ?" Amaranth asked .
"Please don't tell Dracula, I visited you . He hates it when his rules are violated "
"That's not a problem, I won't tell on you "
"Thanks " Clara said and passed the food to Amaranth, who took a few spoons and dropped it .
"I'll visit , next time " Clara said and left the room with the remnants of the food .
