The King of Corona had hired her because Jane was busy chasing down Nordic creatures and they needed someone to get rid of the creature in the tower.
Gothel, they called her. A vampire that stole blood and life force from anyone who passed by. There were rumors that she had kidnapped the lost princess when she was a baby to steal her life force too.
Darcy snorted a little as she trotted along on the trail that was marked toward the hidden glen where they thought Gothel was hiding. Chances were that the baby was already either dead or a vampire herself. But a paycheck was a paycheck. At least she seemed more credible than the thief that she saw approaching the castle. A witch of her standing could probably make him run around in circles before he could find his own tail.
At her horse's snort, she looked up from the map. Nothing. No entrance to the naked eye.
"Great! They gave me a crappy map!" She searched through her saddlebag for the quartz she used for scrying and let it twirl itself over her map. "Show me Gothel." The stone circled around the map before pointing squarely at the curtain of vines. "Huh."
Darcy slid off her horse and tucked away the map, following her crystal through the curtain of vines and into some sort of hidden grotto. She took a minute to soak in the wonder of what the place looked like before letting her gaze settle on the lone standing tower.
"Bingo."
She snapped her fingers and disappeared in a cloud of smoke before reappearing inside the tower.
Vampire AU what so spoopy
