Young Master Damien's Pet Chapter 212 - Encounter- Part 2

While Damien who was still trying to travel back to Bonelake through his ability which wasn't working yet with his already corrupted heart having more corruption, the land of Bonelake itself was in a grim situation for Penny as she stood at the door with her hand placed on the knob. Waiting to open it while taking in the possible consequences of what might happen today.
If she would miss the breakfast now, the next meal would be served at noon and if she skipped that she would have to wait until the time of night.
Damien wasn't back and something felt wrong right now. An unsettling feeling her chest which she didn't know what it was about. Was it because he wasn't there here? She was used to his presence where he tried to annoy her back and forth before and she admitted she missed it right now.
With his absence in the mansion, this place didn't feel the same. It felt empty and hollow. Like she was in a foreign place like never before. It didn't help that the mother and daughter vampires were trying to punish her at the tip of their toes.
She had woken up early in the morning before there was even a speck of light because of her back where she had tried to lay on in her sleep which had her eyes snapping open in sudden pain. The rest of the hours she paced back and forth in the room wondering what to do.

If the opportunity had presented before in the past, Penny would have first jumped out of joy. In puer happiness to have Damien not to monitor her where she could have tried escaping.
But things had changed. Her thoughts had turned upside down that she preferred to stay in here than go out and have herself killed and burnt by the humans.
Humans, thought Penny to herself. Once upon a time, she was part of them. She believed they were the ones who were in the right. Maybe not all but some of them were nice. Their ideas about life and the creatures who walked on these lands. Creatures like the witches, vampires or any other kind didn't belong here.
Humans secretly whispered amongst themselves on how cruel the world had turned to because of the other creatures who stubbed them.?And now that she stood on the other side of the fenced grass, she understood it was not all true.
Finally deciding to go down to get herself something to eat, she turned the knob and left the room.
Penny hadn't gone too far when Lady Fleurance invited her to join them in the dining room.

"Sit with us in the dining room," the Lady said without giving her an opportunity to speak. Gingerly, Penny made her way into the dining room to see everyone seated at the table.
Damien's father looked at the door to see only the slave, "Damien isn't back yet?" the question was directed to his eldest daughter Maggie who shook her head in response. The pureblooded vampire then turned to look at Penny, asking her, "Where did he say he was going?" the voice was less gentle than what was used with his daughter. This reminded Penny about her status of being a slave who was lesser than a servant girl.
Already in the limelight, she first bowed her head and then answered the man, "Master Damien said he would be going to Woville," hearing no response, he raised her head to see the man had turned his head away from him to start eating his food.
Grace on the other hand who had been waiting like a scheming vulture for an opportunity for all this while couldn't stop the grin that formed on her lips. She couldn't contain the joy that she felt after listening to the information that her brother Damien had gone to Wovile. It would take two days just to travel one way which meant her brother wouldn't be back anytime soon.
"Sit here," Grace waved her hand before pointing next to her. The slave girl knew well to not refuse. She had committed a mistake last night for which she had been punished for. The girl was obedient enough to walk around the table and sit on the ground where Grace had pointed. Satisfied with the reaction, Grace turned back and started to pick the food she wanted to eat. Taking another plate she placed some fruits and bread to pass it down to the lower human.
Penny who was sitting on the hard cold floor found herself with a plate being held in front of her.

Grace being nice? questioned Penny. She couldn't help but be suspicious about it. Even Maggie looked at her younger sister suspiciously before shifting her eyes on her father to ask,
"Father, we will need to hire a new butler here. Did you speak to the officials if they could hire one?"
"Not yet. They are still going through the reports and the statements that were taken from here. It seems the vessel did indeed contain the poison to corrupt our hearts," it raised the heads who were having the meal to look at it him.
"Is someone trying to target us?" asked Lady Fleurance worried, "We should have more guards appointed if that is so. How did the person even enter?" she looked at her husband worried.
Penny who had stopped eating herself had to crane her neck without being too obvious to see Damien's father look at the table with a serious expression and his brows furrowed.
"It is very critical information at the moment which has been asked to not discuss with the family members too. I heard the men in the council are trying to figure out because there have been many mishaps over a few months now where pureblooded families are being targeted."
historical "I hope everything goes back to normal than be in a state of a constant worry. People can be so idle that they want to hurt others," if it was possible, Penny's eyebrows would have touched the ceiling of the room. The lady had made her drink blood where she knew she would not be able to digest yet it had been passed down as a punishment...
