Young Master Damien's Pet

Thanking the butler, she stood there for some more time while the butler left the corridor to go back to the room where all the guests were. Penny couldn't believe that she had received a spell to close the black magic and bind it back if all the rituals performed by the black witches turned out to be successful.

But like everything, this spell came with the condition that it had to be used only when all the black magic was out in the open. It was something some of them had come to dread on thoughts of what if. Penelope and Sister Jera were the only ones who had come to face off the black witches in the second council exam and though they had lost lives, they were still able to find out that there was something more powerful to the existing black witches.

The witches had been improvised not only because of the methods and their abilities but because of what they could do by modifying the bodies. That itself was scary enough, it made it difficult for one to be able to identify who the actual black witches were. There could come a time where the spray they were making use of would not affect the improvised witches and neither their scales would be seen on their body, after all, they would be sharing organs with either the humans or vampires.

With that thought, Penny went back to join the soiree which was held in the Adams mansion.

Taking a seat next to Damien, she saw Damien who was playing the cards threw the card of minister out of what he held on the table. His eyes moved to look at Penny, "Everything alright?" he asked her.

Penelope gave him a nod, "Yes," she smiled, taking in a deep breath and letting it out of her lips.

She wanted to tell Damien what she found out but this wasn't a place to let him know when there were many people around them.

They spent some more time where Penny didn't discuss anything more with the butler and stuck to Damien's side. Once they were back in the carriage and back to the mansion in the room,

Damien said, "The butler is an interesting guy, isn't he."

"He has the book of Verves," Penny gave the information she had found out, "He said he found it from my mother who was carrying it with her."

The pureblooded vampire gave her a long look before saying, "Well, at least we know where the book is and why your mother is being chased. One of the black witches who is stringing these rituals must have handed it to her. We already know that black witches can't read books. She must have gone out in search of someone who could read it."

"The butler could read it."

"Look at that! You have a new family member," Damien commented with a small smile on his face before he said, "What did he say?"

"You didn't listen to our conversation?" Penny asked him as she knew Damien had a very good set of ears.

He shook his head, "Strangely I didn't hear a thing. Not a word or a whisper from you both."

"He said the book belongs to him and not to search for it. I don't think he's a witch nor does he look like a vampire."

Damien gave her words some thought, "As far as I remember most of us think that he is a vampire because he didn't change in appearance. Not a day faded in his dictionary. If he isn't any we don't know then we will need to find out who he is."

Penny shook her head, "I don't think he's a threat. If he was...he wouldn't have given me the spell to complete what we have been looking for," she pulled out the parchment to hand it to him.

He took it in his hands and looked at what was written. The words made no sense to him.

"This is the spell to bind back the black magic."

"How helpful of him. Seems like a guardian angel granting your wish," Damien joked before going to the important matters,?"Did you ask if you need anything for the spell to work?"

"I don't think you need any of it. Do you remember the time when we were coming back after meeting Caitlin from the slave establishment? The time we got stuck and your corruption started to act?"

"The time I almost killed you," Damien remembered it. It was going to be a memory that would be hard to erase from his mind. To have her heart stop whilst she was in his arms was a feeling he couldn't forget.

"I dreamt about him at that time but I don't think it was a dream. It felt like a different place or world. He appeared a bit different and he was the one who sent me back."

It was clear that after meeting the butler today, he was much more than what he led people around him to be. If he was a person who was helping the black witches, the man would have never let her know about the spell. Of course one could swap it with black magic but Penny already had the first half of the spell and all she had needed was finis.h.i.+ng the rest of the spell which was done by the butler.

With the way he spoke, it appeared that he didn't want to get involved nor was he interested in letting people know who he was. Leaving it at that, Penny then said,

"We have one mystery solved."

"The next is to get the council," she gave him a nod. With the way things were, it was hard to trust people and even in these dire times, Penny was glad that there were some people who could still be trusted to never cheat to help the black witches.

The people who helped the black witches didn't care about the long term on what was going to happen and were only looking at fulfilling their short term goals. Once the witches would claim the black magic, there would be chaos and they would turn their backs against people who even helped them, such was the nature of the black witches.
