The reason why I love you ch.5

"Dellenville and the Vladelik Academy"

The place where I was walking was totally dark, although I liked it.
"There is the portal to go from our world to the humans'." I heard Bill tell me, as I listened him get out from somewhere a piece of paper. All of a sudden, my eyes got very well used to the darkness. I could see everything clear as water, as if it were on plain daylight. I stopped next to Bill, who was reading a paper slip, and asked him,
"Hey, uh...uncle Bill-"
"Don't call me like that, it makes me feel old. Just call me Bill." he said
"Well, anyway. Will I stay in Dellenville...forever?" I asked.
"Yeah. You will study until you're 25." Bill said, while walking to a couple of big, wooden, old doors guarded by (yeah, very weird) a skeleton.
"Good evening, Jack. I'm here again." Bill greeted the snoring skeleton. He lifted his old hat, and said in a screechy and raspy voice,
"Hello sir! Where did you go? Haunting for dinner?"
"Haunting for this boy." Bill corrected.
"Ah, delivery service, huh? Better eaten at home than on the streets, I say!" Jack answered, and then laughed.
Bill handed the skeleton the note, and he let us in.
"What was the note for?" I asked, still feeling freaked out.
"My professor wrote it to me so that if I find any officer on the human world, they'll know I'm not running away." he answered.

Dellenville was a small town, with old houses and bussiness. Yet I found it awesome. Vampires walked here and there. 'Batties' played outside. Although it was still like 4 pm, some vampires had started to go out and talk. But at some moment, I noticed that the vampires all stepped aside of Bill's way, in a respectful way. Then they'd look at me as if asking, "Who is that kid? The one with the baggy black pants? He's walking with Bill!"
The streets were made with big stones, and walking through them were carts and vampires. Finally, we walked through a dirt road that ended in a big, black castle, with a barrier around it. Bill walked to the edge, then looked up.
"It's me! Jacques! I'm baaack!" Bill screamed. Soon, a vampire of about my age peeked down and asked,
"Who is the boy? Behind you?"
"He is a new student. Open now, Jacques!" Bill yelled. Seconds later, the big iron gate lowered to make a bridge over the small pond that separated the dirt road from the castle.
Bill stepped inside, while I followed. Once I was inside, I noticed that the corridors were darker than outside, although the torches helped a bit. The floor was wet from an evident rain.
"Follow me." Bill commanded while he opened a door on the left wall. Immediately we descended some stairs. Bill turned left, then right into a corridor full of wooden doors. Bill reached one made with redwood and knocked twice swiftly and hardly.
"Who's it?" a voice asked from inside.
"Sire, it's me." Bill answered in a soft voice he hadn't used.
Silence, an uncomfortable one.
"Enter, but leave the kid outside." the voice answered. As Bill entered, he looked at me with a mean glint in his eyes. The doors closed and I stood outside in that corridor.
A nearby bat flew by my head, while I smelled the blood he carried on his mouth.
