Delaney decided the best way to begin to prepare herself for this year and assemble as plan for survival and eventually escape, was to explore and learn the layout of the castle from the bottom up. The lower levels were relatively easy: common room, potions, great hall, collection of odd cupboards and corridors. The upper levels however were proving to be a bit more of a challenge as the young snake attempted to navigate the series of moving staircases.
She didn’t even know what floor she was on anymore as she rounded the corner and came across a large mirror. In front of the mirror was a young girl who didn’t appear much older than herself... holding a hairbrush? As Delaney inched closer to the girl, she noticed something even stranger. The girl had no reflection?!?! Was she a ghost? A vampire? Was it true vampires had no reflection?
“Errrr…. Excuse me but what are looking at?” Delaney demanded from behind the girl. And then quieter she added, “Are you a vampire?”
