Strangers in The Night

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 31; the thirty-first edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for the month is 'Strangers in the Night'
Strangers in the Night


There was a kind businesswoman named Amy. She was a very intelligent, beautiful girl with a bright smile and brown hair. She didn’t like deck herself up with formal business attire that the professionals normally do; she only wore a simple top and jeans if she had to go for a meeting.  She lived in Switzerland. One day she got a mail in the mailbox that was colored golden. It said ‘To Amy Willows Please note that this is a very important mail. Whatever you do, DO NOT lose it or show it to anyone’ on the cover. She took all of her mails to her room and opened the Golden one first. She read it out loud.
This is what was written in the mail:
Amy Willows, you have been invited to Transylvania for a VERY important discussion. This discussion is about the Vampires. I have sent a coupon for you to stay in Highland hotel. The room number is written in the coupon. Show it to the receptionist before you check in. I will meet you near Draculawench Park on 1st of September.
From, Anonymous.
The note seemed suspicious to her but she wanted to find out the mystery of such an invitation. She opened her teal laptop to book a ticket to Transylvania but all the tickets were sold out so she had to go on another website. She booked a ticket for August 30th. At night she went to sleep in her comfy bed. The next day she got ready and took a taxi to the airport. She was regretting to have booked a ticket from that website. The aircraft was SO tiny! She had to squeeze herself between two old ladies. While she was sleeping, the airhostess served the food and woke her up. There were three food items, Blood Custe Pie, Mixed Sanwa and Spice Lice Dice. She immediately threw up after eating the Blood Custe Pie. It was just disgusting!!! It tasted like worms that were crushed out and it was red. She wanted to get off the plane as soon as she could. She spent the rest of her time in the washroom (AT LEAST the washroom was clean). She was relieved when the plane landed and she was the first to go out of the plane. It was her worst experience in a plane! Once she got out of the airport a driver was holding her name up. She walked towards him and he asked if she was REALLY Amy Willows. She said ‘Yes’ for the 7th time. She even showed her passport. The hotel car driver believed her and took her to Highland Hotel. The hotel looked very old fashioned. Amy gave the coupon to the receptionist and he gave her the directions. The elevator looked really weird; It was pleated with gold and silver rods. However, when Amy entered her room. She almost fainted!! The room looked SO gorgeous. The bed was a queen sized with a very soft mattress. The bed was covered with a black and white blanket and there were 2 big pillows, 2 medium pillows and 2 tiny pillows! There was 1 medium drawer beside each of the bed’s side. The cupboard looked amazing!  It was a cream white wooden cupboard. The rest was fabulous!! She took a shower and got changed into her night clothes. There was one liquid soap called ‘Crimson Deluxe’ It smelled like vanilla and rose. She went to sleep in her comfy bed at 12:30a.m. She didn’t take dinner because the hotel restaurant was closed. The next morning when she woke up she heard a knock on the door. She walked lazily out of her bed and opened the door. It was a waiter holding her breakfast on a tray. She said “Thank you” in a very low and creaky voice and then took the tray to her bed and started to eat. This time her food was finger-licking good! There was one hot chicken puff, mint-lemon juice and a chocolate cupcake which had a piece of cherry at the top and vanilla frosting. There was also a message on the tray saying “Amy Willows today is September 1st and you are supposed to meet at Draculawench Park at night.
P.S Enjoy your breakfast!”
Amy had totally forgotten why she had come there! She was just enjoying her food. She took a morning walk and then stopped by a restaurant called ‘Vampire’s Den’ to have lunch. The inside of the restaurant was themed like a Vampire’s cottage. The tables were shaped like ancient tables and the chairs looked like mini coffins. She ordered a simple lunch. She had ordered fried shrimps (mini) and some rice. The lunch was quite delicious. She spent the rest of her time window shopping in the malls. It was already 8:30p.m by then so she went out to eat dinner. She was getting ready for meeting the mysterious person at Draculawench Park. She was waiting at the Park by a bench from 12:00a.m
No one was there, everyone went to their rooms by 11:00p.m Amy was the only one there. After 30 minutes when it was 12:30a.m she saw 3 men coming from the entrance. It was foggy that night so she couldn’t see them properly. They disappeared while walking. Amy was looking around but one of the men covered her mouth will a cloth and gave her a sleeping injection. She fainted right after she got that injection. The men took her to some secret hideout, and then they woke her up by giving another injection. She was crying for help but no one could hear her. The men were wearing masks so she couldn’t see them. They bit her neck, trying to convert her into their vampire family. But she was of no use to them; so they stabbed her rightaway. Amy didn’t know that this was her last night ever…
After a few days later, when she was found missing, an investigation committee was set
up…

P.S This is what Amy looked like after being bitten by the vampire. (its edited my me :P)

  4. Very nicely written. While reading I felt it read like a children's story book. And I checked your profile and came to know your age. This is amazing story for a 10 year old.

  7. Hey there, Vampires Suck, literally!

    Firstly, it is good to see such astounding talent in someone so young. I read your post first assuming an adult wrote it, and was still impressed. Very well done.

    Moving to the post, there is a nice little background set up. The post starts with cheerful things and gradually things become dark, as we move from Switzerland to Transylvannia. The plane ride was a nice contemporary touch, and I loved the dishes, even though Amy didn't. The story kept me gripped because I wanted to know what was going to happen to Amy. Too bad she has disappeared without a trace. Maybe in future posts we will be able to read about how Amy's life as a vampire turned out?

    Good going, and yes, you will have all of us oldies beat very soon. Keep at it, and all the best!

  10. Little Scarlet,

    Nice story..though I could not understand why she was of no use to Vampires so they stabbed him?

    1. um..She was no use because she was too strong for the vampires to turn her into a vampire and if they would let her go, she would have told the police and they would be caught :) Thanks :D

    2. Thank you for the clarification..Scarlette. And sorry for spelling your name wrongly in the first comment :-(

  11. woahhh!!! I loved the story a lot. I was glued from the first word to the last.

    The descriptions were amazing. What I loved the most were the names of the dishes served on the airplane.

    Amy turned out to be a brave woman. A very brave one.

    Why did they send the letter to Amy in the first place - is my question for you. Looking forward to reading your thoughts.

    But I really liked the story.
