Chapter 2: A fresh Start

A few hours later

Are we there yet? I have a feeling this is a lifelong ride. I don't wanna spend my last moments in a rotting car and even if we ignore the car sure as hell I don't wanna bear you guys even in my last moments.

"Well! I don't know Andrea, ask Victoria, she is the driver of the car and our fate. If we have reached or not depends upon her." Answered Kol.

Well! Guys, I don't think it's too late to change the plan. Maybe we could go somewhere else.

And why exactly do you want to go somewhere else now?

Well, Andrea! The thing is, I don't really want to go somewhere else but guess we'll have to.

And why is that? If you would like to elaborate.

Elaborate! Great! She is asking me to elaborate. How exactly does she expect me to elaborate on what I have just done? I don't wanna die at such an early age. These people are gonna chew my head off if I tell them, or worse, they are gonna haunt me my entire life.

Nothing in particular, but just seems I kind of could have lost my way.

You gotta be kidding me.

Well! Guess what Ryan, I wish I was kidding but I am not. Maybe I...I just took a wrong turn. How bad could it be? We can just take another route. I am gonna drive just fine now.

"Victoria, stop the freaking car right here, your wrong turns are just so wrong." Said Tyler.

"What are we gonna do now?" enquired Andrea.

I think I am gonna plan a murder.

Oh please Kol, it was completely unintentional, and besides, it is not like I ruined your 18th birthday party as you did with mine so you can totally forgive me if I could forgive you.

Oh yea Victoria, you are never gonna get over that day.

Well! Congratulations. There isn't a network here, this place is absolutely remote with not even a single soul visible. So, we are gonna have to find a place to stay put tonight and we can just try and get back to our journey tomorrow." Said Ryan.

Sounds great. Just so great! Isn't it? We will find a safe place don't worry. There might be someone to help. Maybe we can find a hotel or something. Trust me.

"Trust you?? Are you seriously asking us to trust you, Vicky? We are in this mess in the first place just because of trusting you. So, just shut up." Said Kol.

"Well! Is there really someone over there or I am hallucinating?" Questioned Tyler.

It was such a relief that it just wasn't a hallucination but we could finally see a soul. Even though we hoped it wasn't just a soul but a human.

We have been in this house or mansion or whatever it is for quite some time now. The person we saw, seemed so mysterious. The second we turned the car towards him, he was just gone. Like vanished in thin air. It was so dark I am starting to doubt if there was actually a person or just our illusion. Leaving no choice we wandered around and finally found this place. It's so creepy and dirty and old. Not the best place to spend vacations but sure is ideal for supernatural research. Kol has been busy complaining how dirty and creepy this place is, Tyler has just been silent as always figuring out every nook and corner here and Andrea just can't help but be so dumbstruck by this place. She has always had a soft corner for antiques.

All of this is in front of me, but my mind seems to have stuck at that one day. That one day that can change my entire life. I don't clearly remember anything, the more I try the much difficult it gets to remember but I have to. It was the day when it all began. Usually, the 18th birthday is when a new chapter of your life starts, when you are an adult, free to live your life but for me, that was the day when an old chapter of my life found a way to come back. Seems like I am gonna have to finish the one I started, only and only then will I be free of these shackles and truly start my life, a fresh start.
