I've been publishing books of various genres since 2013, from fantasy books for adults to children's books, and I still enjoy it as much as I did when I started. Readers will know that I'm not flawless, but my primary concern is to tell stories, not to write perfect texts.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my special thanks to my son Vincent, who has read all of my books so far and even wrote reviews. Then I thank my family for their patience with me.

This book was initially published in German and was translated into English for my daughter to practice.

Preface

I've been publishing books of various genres since 2013, from fantasy books for adults to children's books, and I still enjoy it as much as I did when I started. Readers will know that I'm not flawless, but my primary concern is to tell stories, not to write perfect texts.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my special thanks to my son Vincent, who has read all of my books so far and even wrote reviews. Then I thank my family for their patience with me.

Night noises

Everyone knows the castle of the world-famous vampire prince Dracula in Transylvania. But who knows the old castle in Brachenfeld? Although, it is more of a castle.

Nobody?

I used to feel that way too. By the way, my name is Tjalf and I'll tell you my story.

In the beginning everything was nice. I went to the second grade and had just got my certificate and what can I say, I'm just a model student- Mr. Einstein and of course I achieved the class goal? Does that sound conceited? Why do I do that? Well, because I can do it ...

So it was the last day of school and the best holidays ever were just around the corner when my mother and father informed me that we were going to move.

Why is that? I asked in the hope that they feel emotionally obliged to take back the idea of ​​moving, Do you want to ruin my life for me?

Mine certainly didn't want that, but of course I didn't know that at the time.

But Tjalf, replied my father, we have already discussed this with you a thousand times.

Correct?!

My father is always exaggerating. I still remember when they texted me with it for the first time. It was about three months ago. If my father had actually told me this a thousand times, it would have been about ten to eleven a day (!) And I would have remembered that. but that is not the point.

My parents just don't want to understand that I simply didn't want to go away. They could have explained it on me ten thousand or even a million times. When I got to know where we were going to move, I really didn't want to.

We're moving to Neumonster, reveals Mama, a small town in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein.

With two seas, added Dad, but I had already switched to pull-through.

I googled it, surely not mom and dad. Maybe they were too old, they probably had already been alive when the Tyrannosaurus Rex existed and didn't know Google.

Highest crime rate!

Highest unemployment rate!

Hence the highest density of unemployed people!

And the secret capital of neo-Nazis!

I mean, it just doesn't get any worse! I thought, but we'll get to that later.

And when do you want to move there? I asked and actually didn't want to hear Tomorrow, Tjalf, but my parents said exactly that! Oh no!

But I don't want to, I made my position on the whole topic clear with crossed arms, you just have to drive without me!

Tjalf, that doesn't help, said my mom and she always had such a calm, understanding and warm voice, we have already transferred you to another school.

Then get back to you, I groaned, it's very easy.

Honey, my father said to my mother, it is no use arguing with the boy. We have to come up with tougher means. It's over now!

And when my dad used the H-word then it usually ended.

My dear son, it is time, my dear father began and my mother sat by silently, that we can create facts: We are going to Neumonster and Basta!

Before I could reply, he put something on the table. Out of spite, I didn't look at it at first, but when my eyes spotted it with a brief blink, I knew immediately what it was and I felt like I was in seventh heaven!

I just say Cavegame!

You don't know what Cavegame is?

Loser.

No, seriously, either you are very old or from another planet or blind, deaf and cannot read - then I could understand.

For all newbies. It's a game for the Spintendo 3DS. What do I say ... it's THE game ... oh yes!

And can we go to Neumonster? Mama wanted to know from me, You can play during the entire journey.

What? You think now that I gave in and had someone buy me for 40 € because of a game? Do you think I have given up my principles?

What? I am for sale! Only the stupid have principles when it comes to cavegame. Let's go to Neumonster, I'll continue my fight from there and we'll retire soon. They'll see.

I'll be out first, play Cavegame and I'll get back to you soon.

The moving day! I got up this morning and found that it was the last time I slept in the town where I was born. The last time in my part of town, in my street, in our house and in my room!

To be on the safe side, I looked at the cavegame again to see my price for the whole thing.

Since the move was so difficult for me emotionally, I didn't need any help, of course, and could gamble all day. We did not set out until the afternoon. Mama had to cry. Why is she only moving when she really doesn't want to? Yes, I know, Dad has a new job or he was transferred - he is a history and art professor at a university and wanted to go to Neumonster because of his career, as one of the oldest universities in the country was in the small town - you notice , I knew this song.

The actual journey to Neumonster began with a traffic jam on the highway. And what a! I mean, we could have seen it coming because it was the start of the holidays and that was also in the summer!

So the battery of my Spintendo 3DS was glowing and Cavegame could be gambled until the end of the trip, but the unthinkable happened! The game suddenly ended! What was going on? At first I thought that I had accidentally hit the reset button, but the certainty came with 130 km / h, unlike us in our car on the highway.

What should I do without Cavegame?

Well, are you finished with games and have enough? Asked my attentive mother.

NO! I was just too stupid not to recharge the battery before the trip, since I had been playing all day, the probability of the battery giving up was very high, but my gambling addiction and my fear of having to help made me overlook it.

I didn't answer my mother, but looked out the window.

We can also play another game, she tried to cheer me up, because like every mother she had her famous intuition and of course smelled the roast.

How about -I see what you don't see-? Asked Mama from me.

Nope! I replied briefly and concisely and actually imagined that she would give in, but I have known my mother all my life and I should have known that she had staying power.

Maybe license plate guesswork? She asked then.

If you don't know the game of the century: Either you guess the origin of the abbreviation on the license plate of a car or you add up the numerical value (my mother's choice of words). Whoever has the most points loses!

Again I didn't answer anything. That was just too stupid for me. Sitting here in the car driving to a place I don't like and can't play cavegame - it was almost like hell. The car was moving again. Somehow I was happy, even if I didn't really want to go to Neumonster.

We're stopping at a rest stop again, announced Dad, I have to urgently for small drivers. We can get something warm and then we go on.

I also used the time to relieve myself. My father had already finished and told me that he would go first.

What do you want to eat? He asked me.

In a hurry, I replied quickly.

French fries.

Only fries? My father wanted to know more precisely.

Yes.

I'm just asking, he let me know.

I didn't say anything, but went about my business. Only then did I notice that I was completely alone in the rest area toilet. I was thinking about moving and I missed my friends! Benny first and foremost. He was my best friend. We have known each other since kindergarten. We were personable from day one and have been inseparable ever since. And now? Well, now we've been separated. Like a reverse reunion. What actually belongs together was separated.

Only now, lost in thought, did I notice that someone was standing behind me. At first it ran down my spine because I hadn't noticed how the toilet door had opened. On the other hand, I was daydreaming right now. I finished my peeing session and headed for the sink. I could see out of the corner of my eye that it was a boy. A little younger than me, maybe five years old. I washed my hands and let them blow dry.

When I turned around, the boy was
