Chapter Seventeen

Mina Harper, who is now twenty years old, she has her own car, she just doesn't have a job sadly, at least not yet she doesn't have one.
Lucy, luckily, has recovered—somehow—from those marks that were on her neck.
Mina will never know how Lucy got so lucky to survive that, but she did.
Mina still lives with her father, Lucy now lives with Bobby, but she still comes over to visit.
Mina was upstairs in her room, reading a book when she heard her father shout, "Mina! You've got mail!"
Mina closed her book, jumped up from her bed, and went downstairs. "Who's it from?" Mina asked, taking the letter from her father.
Mr. Harper shrugged. "There's no name on it, it just says that it's for you."
Mina only smiled. "It's fine father." Mina gave him a kiss on his cheek and went back upstairs.
Mina closed her door, sat on her bed, and began to open the letter and she smiled sooo much that she could have been the Cheshire Cat for Halloween if she wanted to be.
It was from Igor.
She began to read it.

Dear Mina,
I am sorry for being such a jerk to you thirteen years ago… I hope we can be friends as well, but do not tell Master that I sent you this letter… it is a surprise for him.
Just come on down to here.

Attached to the note was a map along with some cash, probably about three hundred dollars but it was hard for Mina to tell.
Mina's eyes got wide.
They were all the way in Transylvania…? Mina always wanted to travel around the world, but she didn't know that that time would be now.
Mina just folded the letter back up, grabbed a suitcase, grabbed her cellphone—yes, now she has her own cellphone—placed her suitcase on her bed, put the letter in her pocket and went downstairs.
"Dad,"
"Yes, Mina?"
"I'm going to leave, but don't worry, I'll keep in touch."
"Wait, where are you going to?"
Mina knew she had to lie, because she had this strange feeling that if she said Transylvania her father would probably lose his mind.
"Italy." Mina said, smiling.
"Wow… well, I hope you have fun there."
"Thanks, I will." Mina couldn't stop smiling.
"Lucy,"
"Yes father?"
"Say goodbye to your sister."
"Why?" Lucy asked, coming into the dining area. "Where are you going to?"
"Italy." Mina said, still smiling.
"Lucky." Lucy teased. "Well, I hope you have fun there, just remember to keep in touch."
"I will." Mina smiled. She went back upstairs to her room, started to pack some clothing, and she even packed Checkers and her comic books, along with some other things.
Mina felt like she was seven years old all over again, which made her feel even more excited.
When Mina was done with her packing, she went downstairs with her suitcase, grabbed her car keys, and announced, "I love all of you!"
Mr. Harper and Lucy came in and they all had a group hug.
"Be safe, okay?"
"I promise I will."
"You better keep me posted on what's going on over there, understand?" Lucy teased.
"I will."
Mina gave them a kiss. Waved goodbye to their cat, she opened the door, grabbed her suitcases—she had three total—went to her car, unlocked the doors, put her bags in there, closed the doors, went in the car, put the key in the ignition, started the car and was on her way to give her best friend a huge surprise.
"I can't wait to see his face when he sees me!" Mina exclaimed and she pressed the gas pedal a little bit harder, but not too hard to go over the speed limit.
Then, off she went, all the way to Transylvania, she could not believe that this was actually happening.
Since Mina is now older, i have her preview image as her when she is older. :D
