Vampire Strikes

'the party? the Phantom manor, 7.30 on the dot' Ethan smiled


Lucretia passed him over the work silently

"I will look forward to it" Pandora smiled.




The Tutor marked her work it was adequate.

Ethan smiled 'after work lets buy you a new dress'



Lucretia was just looking out of the window

"Ahh i have many fine dresses, you dont need to buy me another" Pandora smiled.




The Tutor handed her some papers, "Complete these... in Silence!"

'but its a party' Ethan stated 'a new dress is needed'




Lucretia got to work looking down at the papers she didnt even sigh, just did as she was told

Pandora smiled and nodded, "Of course"



The Tutor sat down just watching.

Ethan opened the door as the carriage stopped and got out, holding his hand out for his daughter to take



Lucretia was perfect on the exterior, she just did as told, like any girl of the age should

Pandora took his hand gently using it to help herself out, "Thank you"



The Tutor just watched.

Ethan led her inside the building 'its just a meeting'



Lucretia hated this to her very core, but she just did it

Pandora smiled, "I will wait in your office if you wish"




The Tutor just waited for her to finish, "Your handwriting needs to be neater"

Ethan smiled 'you can join if you wish to'



Lucretia just nodded, even though it was extremely rare for girls of her age to even be able to write, of course she was from a wealthy family, no matter how good she was, she always had to be better

Pandora smiled, "As much as i would like to i wouldnt want to embarrass you if i feel asleep"




The Tutor just looked at her work looking for more criticism.

Ethan chuckled slightly 'then stay in my office'




Lucretia went back to looking out of the window, thinking

"Thats what i said" Pandora smiled.




"Stop looking out the window you disobedient child and get back to work" The Tutor stated.

Ethan nodded 'alright theres a tea pot in there, my secretary will see to anything you need'




Lucretia just worked not looking up, she was half thinking about how it would feel to just die, how many people would miss her, her tutor would miss her... well.. he would miss the money he was being paid

Pandora smiled, "Ahh you are to good for me... i will be fine father, i like your office"




The Tutor just watched her working.

Ethan smiled, he would still have his secretary stay around




Lucretia just worked, this was what her life was like all the time

"Hope your meeting goes well" Pandora smiled nodding to her father before she headed off to his office, she knew this place like the back of her hand.




The Tutor tapped his fingers on the table.

Ethan just walked to the meeting room



Lucretia gritted her teeth that was really off putting

The day went by, Pandora had indeed fallen asleep on the sofa in her fathers office.



The Tutor had recently left.

Ethan opened the door of his office to pick up his daughter



Lucretia had returned to her room, her mother had made a maid lay out the clothes she was to wear that night

Pandora was still sound asleep curled up comfortably on the sofa.



The maid walked inside Lucretias room, "Miss your mother wishes you to wear the necklace you where given"

Ethan smiled and woke his daughter 'come on Pandora'


Lucretia nodded 'of course,we still have plenty time'

Pandora opened her eyes and smiled up at her father, "That didnt take long" she whispered as she sat up shivering slightly from being asleep.




"You need tog et changed now Miss your mother wishes to see how you look before you leave" The Maid replied.

'you were asleep' Ethan stated with a smile 'come on, we have very little time, we will just pick you out a dress from your extensive collection'


Lucretia looked over at her Violin 'no time for you then' she whispered before she moved to get dressed
