Young Master Damien's Pet

Penny and Piers finally stopped running when they crossed over the hallways which they supposed it was as it was longer than they had expected it to be. With their heart hammering in their chest, Penny turned around to see where they were. Finding a door in front, she walked near it and pulled the lock to find a dark room. When she flicked her fingers, larger light appeared. Piers leaned from behind her and gasped,

"There are too many…"

"All of the transformed toads," Penny completed his thoughts, "We need to get everyone out of here. When her eyes looked around the walls, she found the broken window and said, "Quick, get the toads and put them out of the house," at least this way, the toads wouldn't be in danger.

With that thought, Penny and Piers decided to pick two toads each in their hands, walking towards the windows. When she went to push the toad out of the broken window, the toad couldn't go through which made her frown.

"What happened?" Piers asked her.

"I think...this house has more than one charm being placed on it. Once you step inside the house-"

"You cannot step out," Robarte was back to sharing the same s.p.a.ce as them. Where did he come from?! They started to walk back and away from Robarte, "Once you step inside, there's no way out and you are trapped here for life. What do you think about that?"

"It's s.h.i.+t," Penny uttered the words that brought a smile on his lips.

And just like that, Robarte's eyes feel on Piers, "Who is this black witch you have found?"

Robarte looked different right now, a mixed creature between being a black witch and a vampire. They took a couple more steps away and at this time, her mother finally made her appearance in the room.

"My dear daughter, it is so good to see you," the black witch took a step forward and Penny raised the fun that was in her hand, pointing it at her mother.

"Don't even think about it," Penny spoke in a low voice.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to hug your mother?" asked Laurae with a soft smile she was used to giving her daughter.

The last time they had met, Penny was still heartbroken by the way her mother had treated her. After all, the memories of burying her under the ground and placing the headstone had really torn her but this time it was different.

Penny had seen and felt in her very own eyes what the woman she had been calling as her mother had done to her, to the people around her and how she had killed her husband without any hint of hesitation.

She wasn't going to fall for it, no more would that be happening.

"Seems like your spell faded away, Laurae. You said she was a good little girl," spoke Robarte looking at Penny and then his sister with a malicious smile, "She's been shooting me. How rude for you to be greeting your blood relative in this fas.h.i.+on."

"You are no relative of mine. The one person who is alive and who I consider my relative is Caitlin," both the black witch siblings raised their eyebrows at this.

"That c.u.n.t is alive?" there was a glimmer of evilness that appeared in Robarte's eyes, "I thought someone would have killed her with the years that went by. If I knew she was alive I would have come to meet her personally. Why don't you drop your weapons down and we can have a peaceful chat, just family," Robarte moved his hand to point his gun at Piers.

"Don't bother," Penny said to Robarte while Piers looked slightly worried right now even though he had a gun of his own which was pointed at the black witcher, "I don't think that is required. Especially considering her not wanting to meet you," Penny responded back to him.

The evil smile on Robarte's face didn't wash away and he said, "Now that I think about it, it was her who tipped you about the Artemis and here I was wondering which black witch outed them at that time. You know," Robarte said, his eyes looking at Penny that had been turned to red slits, "I knew who you were the moment you went on the stage and was getting sold. I tried to find opportunities. Got your wheel broken so that you would ride with me in the carriage but another ditzy vampire came in between."

It was him. It was him who had broken the wheel of the carriage when she had been to one of the parties and Damien had left early. The very same day Damien had cut Mr. Reverale's fingers. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

"So I got the naive little vampiress into the plan. She seemed very desperate to get married and as I said, she used to love bad-mouthing you. But every time seemed like a failed plan and in the end, we are here as you see," he moved his other free hand to move it up and down.

"Where is she?" Penny asked, her hand clutching the gun tighter than before.

"She's somewhere here. Safe and quiet," when Robarte said this, Penny gulped down the worry that was bubbling up. Did they really kill her?

Her mother was the one who cleared it out by saying, "We had to kill her, she was a really noisy one," Though Penny disliked Grace for her actions and behavior, her death didn't sit well with her, "Don't look so sad. Will you be sad if I said that she was here to make a deal with Robarte. To keep you here forever as his slave?"

Penny didn't know how to reply to this. For now she would keep her feelings aside with Grace. She had to use her calm consciousness to deal with this pair of black witches because they were cunning and manipulative in nature.

If she was right, her mother was fighting with Damien. Where was he?
