(Lydia's POV)

Flashback

I just got home from school to find the house unlocked and the door wide open. I walked in the house to look around. I lived with my grandma and she was very sick so I was worried that something may have happened to her. I was right. As I walked into the living room I saw my grandma's lifeless body burning in the fire place. She was old so she must have feel in. I didn't cry. I was not close to my grandma and she hated me. I always seemed like a bother to her. My parents died in a bad car crash when I was little. I cant even really remember them. My grandma was the only family that I had left other than my aunt and uncle that lived in some town called Bathory. Grandma put up with my presence but she never liked me. I watched her burn for a second then grabbed the phone book. I looked up my aunt and uncles phone number and called.

That is how I ended up on a plane to a little town in the middle of know where called Bathory/ I was sure that it wasn't going to be that bad. My cousin Henry was my age. We were only a few days apart. I used to go there every summer when I was little; my parents would go stay for a week. I would play in the sand box with Henry and his friend Vlad. I think that was his name. I wondered if he was still there. I looked down at the tattoo on my left wrist. There used to be two little scares there. Like a cobra or something bit me, I never could remember what bit me. I woke up one day last week and found the tattoo in its place. I have no clue how it got there, all I know is that I went to bed just fine and then woke up with a small tattoo on my wrist. The tattoo looked like some sort of odd symbol. It had parentheses and slashes in it. I typed it in on the internet and nothing came up. So I now have a tattoo, that I don't recall getting, on my wrist where something bit me. If you looked closely you could still see the little bump in my skin from the scars. I looked out the window if the plane and saw this little town like thing underneath me. The announcer came on and told us to put our seat belts on.

I got off the plane to see my aunt, uncle and Henry standing outside waiting on me. I waved at them. I know Henry is my cousin but he has gotten very good looking over the years.

'Hello' I said once I was in hearing distance. They smiled.

'Hello Lydia. You look absolutely wonderful." My aunt said hugging me. I gave my uncle a hug and stood in front of Henry. He looked at me then smiled that big goofy grin I was used to.

'Come here you dork!' He said giving me a huge hug. I laughed. He took my bags and headed for the car. Me and Henry ended up sitting in the back. I had long sleeves on to cover up my wrists. I didn't know what they would think of a tattoo.

'Hey Lydia, do you want something to drink?' My uncle asked.

'Yeah.' I reached up to grab the water bottle he was handing back when I heard Henry let out a small gasp that only I could hear. I turned toward him. He had one had over his mouth and the other was reaching at my wrist. He grabbed my hand and rolled up my sleeve. He examined my wrist for about a minunet.

'Vlad.' I heard him whisper. What? Vlad?

'What are you talking about? I asked. He just shook his head and let it go.

'How? Where did you get that?' He asked in pure shock.

'I don't know. I had to little scars, like something bit me, on my wrist since I was little and one day I went to bed and this was there when I woke up. I have no idea how it got there.' I whispered. This was not a conversation that my aunt and uncle needed to hear. He didn't reply to that. We made jokes the rest of the way home.

When I got home I lied down in bed and sleep. I had major jet lag. And I needed to sleep. As I drifted off I thought about what Henry said. Vlad. What would he have to do with my tattoo? Henry said something about going over there tonight but I am too sleepy. I will meet/re-meet Vlad tomorrow when I am not about to fall asleep.

There is that chapter. I have had this story on my mind for a while and I just know and typing it. So yea…Hope you like it. And I will update soon. Sorry this is short.
