Vampire Princesses and princes"My new university is a renovated medieval monastery in Slovakia called ‘Dux Ducis’ (leader of leaders in Latin). The university is run by professors from all over the world. Monks abandoned it many years ago, not exactly the place an eighteen-year-old girl wants to be, except I don’t have a choice. I am Sweden’s Crown Princess Paola Katarina. My best friends are Crown Princess Sofia Eleonora from Finland and Crown Prince Oskar Niklas from Norway. The sixth day in the monastery, a soft knock on the door woke me up. I glanced at the clock, and it was 1 a.m. No one was there, but I saw a boy wearing pajamas walking across the garden barefooted. The rigid, slow way he was walking made me think he was sleepwalking. I followed him and a few minutes later he initiated a chilling conversation.“Two Curses Two Sisters"Our mansion was surrounded by tall metal fences. Security cameras were installed inside and outside the large property. The gate and mansion were guarded by four ex-military men who were highly recommended by one of my father’s friends. A few minutes after my parents were gone, our nanny took my sister and me outside the mansion to get fresh air and play in a specially designed sandbox. Our nanny saw the four guards coming her way and thought it was kind of unusual. As soon as they were close enough one of them pointed his gun at her while another covered her mouth with tape, and restrained her arms and legs with rope. The other two men picked my sister and me from the sandbox. Our nanny was trying to free herself and one of the men hit her on the head with his gun.
