Vanessa walked through the woodlands and breathed in the fresh air. She noticed the flowers blooming and the bees busily collecting the nectar. As she turned a corner there was the road that led up to the doors of the old castle that sat close to the cliffs. There was a bounce in her steps. She was excited to meet her new student but there was a mystery to her also. The little girl came with little to no information, not even her name. She walked up the road lost in her thoughts. As she looked up at the castle she thought she saw movement in one of the windows but it was hard to tell. She stood at the doors for just a moment before knocking. The Professor opened the door to her.

"Hello Sir" she said "I am Miss Vanessa, come to stay for the school term to teach the young lady!"

"Yes, we have been expecting you, let me show you to your room." He said

They walked through the entrance way and into the grand foyer. They went up the curved staircase and down long corridors to the servants quarters. They finally came to a closed door. 
"This will be your room." The Professor said. "I will expect you to be at dinner at exactly 6pm." And with that he was gone.

Vanessa entered the room. It was pleasant enough. A bed, a chair and a closet with a small ensuite bathroom attached. There was a small window which overlooked the kitchen garden. She looked forward to dinner when she would meet her new student.
