Universe: The Boolpropian Round Legacy: Generation Nine
Word Count: 178
Notes: I don't think I'm doing this again. Future tense = kind of annoying to write in in English.
They'll bring the Doran to meet her tomorrow.
Tomorrow, for the first time in a long while, she'll get to meet someone new. Well. Someone new who won't be a ghost, who won't be coming to her in order to permanently die.
More than that, it will be one of her relatives - her descendant, possibly, or maybe a distant niece or nephew through her brother or sister, or a cousin of some sort through one of her aunts or a relative farther back on the family tree.
She'll act one way for any watchers, then demand privacy and kick them out - they will probably expect this sort of reaction from her, given her reputation as the strange old vampire in the even stranger old house. She will examine her relative, and then she will figure out what to say to them.
Will she reveal the presence of her sister? Will she treat them with kindness or with snobbery? Will the Doran want anything from her? What will happen during that conversation?
She supposes she'll find out...tomorrow.
