No one seemed to be there. That was really disappointing. Katerina had put her hand on her revolver, just in case. But now she relaxed. She adjusted the belt over her dark blue skinny jeans, and made sure her black tank top was all tucked in. Mostly, she was killing time, in case the owners of this place did show up.
After a few more moments of tugging at this and that, Katerina sighed. Alone. It was official. "But who lit the lights then?" she wondered aloud. Black boots sneaked quietly, farther into the castle. Which way would she go? Was this breaking and entering? What was that stair railing made of? If she found a vampire, would it be inside of a coffin? Maybe it would be a bat.
Katerina looked up to the ceiling. It was too far off to see if any bats were hiding up there. She picked the hall to the left and headed down it. After a few moments, Katerina heard a second set of footsteps. She turned quickly, to see no one around. The footsteps had stopped. Then off to her left, a shadow! She turned quickly again, to see nothing.
She was too excited. Her mind was going wild and now her mind was playing tricks. That must be it. The hall took a right and dead ended into doors. There was a light on behind them, and a shadow. There was someone in there!
Katerina decided to sneak up to the door. If it was a supernatural, she probably didn't want to just barge right in without a plan. And if it was the owner of this place, a normal human, well then, she'd just sneak right back out like this whole thing never happened. But her women's intuition was tingling.
She sneaked down the hall and to the door that was slightly ajar. Something in there smelled awful. Dark olive green eyes peered through the crack, but in what little space she could see of what appeared to be the kitchen, Katerina saw nothing. "Figures," she grumbled in her native accent.
It was probably time to go. She was pretty sure she could get arrested for this. Maybe she'd head back into the village and find an Inn. Maybe there she could find out more about this place from people with first hand experience.
