She had always dreamt of visiting the castle but she never got the opportunity. In her college, she heard there was an excursion to the palace, she was dreaming or even daydreaming about how her adventure to the palace is going to be. Is it going to be hilarious?scary?amazing?or even disgracing?what will she put on?she has to go to the palace this is her last and only opportunity.
"Oh no!".She screamed as she jumped off the bed and went across the room into her closet, after scattering and arranging it for the fifth time,she settled for white sleeveless shorts gown, a blue Jean jacket and a matching pair of blue sandals.'Was that too official or maybe at least something I wouldn't regret putting on'She thought but her friend...
"Ariadne".her mom's call broke her out of her reverie.
"Yes mom".She grunted.
"Dinner is ready".
"I'll be there in 5 seconds".
"The food is getting cold".her mother complained after 10 minutes.
After ten minutes, Ariadne sluggishly walked down the stairs and went straight to dining table, she settled on a chair in front of her mother. Her mother Natalie, a beautiful woman who was in her fifties but she looked thirty,her mother had been one of the riffraff on the street but not after her dad left. Natalie was the only child and it was a great advantage to her. After her mother demise, Natalie was faced with dilemma to live and carter for herself alone. After surviving the hardship, she trained herself to be a great woman, she got married to one of the most influential men in Texas before moving to New York with her daughter Ariadne, she and her daughter live in affluence, their house is mainly glass and her husband never comes home but she didn't care she felt that she lived when she had no one so why will she be bothered because just one person is out of her life.
"Mom,the visit to the castle is next week".Ariadne said after doing the dishes.
"You're not going".her mother replied flatly.
"Why?".
"Because it is haunted".
Ariadne scoffed. "Is it?How will I believe that when I've never been there?You've never been there also have you?You only believe the rumors right?".
"I don't care about that. You're not going".
"I am and you're gonna do nothing about it".Ariadne said as she stormed out of the sitting room. She climbed the stairs in a hurry and went into her room, she slumped on her king size bed and bursted into. Her mom never understand her,all she does is to stop her from doing things she wants to do. She stopped crying and laid on her back, took a careful look around her room. It was painted in blue and white, her curtains are blue with a touch of white, her duvet and pillowcase are blue while her bedspread is white there's a door leading to her closet and inside the closet another door leading to her room.
"I don't care about Nat I'm going to the castle".she said in anger almost to herself. She called her mom Nat whenever her mom annoy her or get on her nerves. After staring at the ceiling for another ten minutes she succumbed into a deep slumber.

Ariadne was in the castle, how she got there was a surprise. Surprisingly, she saw no guards in front of the castle, she entered to kill her curiosity, she walked into a hall. She kept walking and about 30 minutes or there about she stopped and looked around, everywhere seemed dark and bounded. She was thirsty and suddenly a cup filled with water appeared in front of her, she gulped it down in a go another one appeared she did it as she did the first one, the third one appeared, she took a closer look at the cup and found out that it was a golden cup, she heard footsteps and looked up,he saw a beast coming towards her,she raced to her heels, she had almost gotten to the entrance of the castle when a voice ordered.
"Stop!".She felt shivers down her spine, she halted and slowly turned back. Lo and behold there wasn't a beast or was it her imagination.The castle was filled with men in coral top and fine linen shorts, they looked like the Jamaicans. Her eyes circled round the room when her eyes stopped on a handsome man and his son who liked he was 19 or 20. The handsome man hair is silver while his son's was blonde they both have hazel eyes and long hair. they had striking resemblance.
"Get her".the cold voice said again and her heart raced.The voice wasn't from the man it was from the ground.
"No!!!!!!".
