The Demon's Personal Maid

Where's the Rabbit?

Early the nest morning, Hazel just freshened up, she didn't have breakfast but just went with Elliot straight to the church. She carried Lucas in a cage, covering it with a cloth so one will see it was a frog.
"What!!!, he left? When?" Hazel shouted
"He said he had to go and it was very important, he left to Poetwyth yester night"
"Oh my!!"
"Told you he's gonna remain in this state for life" Damien whispered below Hazel
"He said I should tell you not to come close to the church again as he said its dangerous and also gave me these books to give you" the nun said stretching out three thick books to Hazel which were
The book of Vegetable: How to summon and use your elemental ability
The book of Mushroom: Purifier
Book of Garlic: Closing the dark magic portal
She still held the 'book of Onion' and the potion book, so all together, she was with five books. These books were no less than fifty chapters
"He didn't say when he was coming" Hazel asked
"No" the nun replied "also, he gave this key in case you needed anything" giving it o Hazel
"OK, thanks"
"Your welcome" and the nun left, Damien gave the nun a suspicious look before turning back to Hazel
"I find that nun suspicious" he blurted
"Forget that and concentrate on how to help Lucas, the only help is now at Poetwyth" Hazel complained
"Then we'll wait till Xavier comes, I'm sure he'll have a solution but I'm going to stalk that nun, as I said, I find her suspicious. See you at the mansion" Damien said and left. Hazel turned to go back to the carriage, it was another carriage man that had brought her. She also wanted to leave because of what Connor has warned. She headed towards the carriage but was stopped, she turned to see who has stopped her and it was two tall and intimidating men, well she has been around intimidating men lately, so it wasn't a problem. One had brown curly hair with onyx eyes, roman nose and thin lips while the other silver shoulder length hair which he packed to the back, same onyx eyes with a straight nose bit a more fuller lips. They both were well structured
"Who are you" Hazel asked trying to tame her fear a little and also happy she didn't shutter
"We didn't know you now keep frog as pet, what about your rabbit? This one looks hideous" the curly haired one spoke
"Kpwooo kpwooooo"
Translation: you won't be saying that if I was in my normal self
"Aah, its understand English, is that why you keep it as a pet"
Hazel who didn't know these people wondered how they knew about relles
"How do know about my rabbit"
"Oh pardon my manners, we are councilmen and we do see you around the mansion"
"Ooh" she muttered
"We're actually going to the mansion and we saw you and decided to follow you… actually our carriage broke and it wheels some maintenance which will take a bit of time"
"Coming to the mansion? To do what? There are no meeting" she questioned
"We are going to see the Lord" the silver haired finally spoke
"But the Lord is at Rivelle and I thought you all knew about this"
"Oh… uhm… we actually forget… then we'll meet his right-hand man Lucas" the curly haired man shuttered
"Lucas?"
"Yes, Lucas"
"Uhm… I'm afraid, Lucas is temporarily not available as he's on leave to deal with personal matters" it was now Hazel turn to shutter
"Kpwooo kpwooo kpwooo"
Translation: indeed on leave to deal with personal matter that is dealing with how to live a frog life, (scoffs)
"Then we'll meet Mrs Decron, I'm sure she'll handle it well"
"Oh, okay"
"Then let's get in"
"What ate your names then , so I could tell Xavier you came" Hazel suggested
"Who are you to Xavier that you can tell you" the silver haired man spoke
"Just someone close"
"I'm Guilt" he said "and he's Barron" he continued gesturing to the brown curly haired man
Hazel narrowed her eyes at the names, she tried not to show recognition on he face. She was really getting to meet more reapers
"We should go then, we could probably have brunch together as I haven't eaten yet" Hazel invited to cover up her scared look. They headed to the mansion, hazel climbed down with Lucas still with her, Guilt and Barron followed. She went to the room to keep Luce's first and the went back to the drawing room to keep them company
"I'm sorry to inform you but Mrs Decron isn't at the mansion at the mansion" Hazel said after finding out. The truth was Guilt and Barron weren't having anything to do with either Xavier, Lucas or Mrs Decron, they were actually there in respect to the picture Evelyn had given them. They actually came for the rabbit as Barton had suggested that Elliot might have possessed it to stay close to Hazel
"Where has she gone?" Guilt asked
"I guess to the Arthens mansion, they are having a soiree party"
"OK. I guess it's for women? The party I mean" Guilt said
"Yes, it is"
"You didn't go why?"
"I'm not that kind of a lady, I only go if its very important"
"So you're like a normal lady who loves animals"
"Yes, I do"
"I'm sure you're familiar with the Lord's wolves then"
"A bit"
"And your rabbit?"
"You mean relles" she corrected
"(Shrugs)"
"Relles's good, its the only rabbit that have stayed with me for a long time so I cherish it"
"How long has it been with you"
Hazel who was getting suspicious of why they were asking about relles now figured out they somehow found out about Elliot has been in the rabbit. But Elliot was no longer there so it was safe to talk about relles
"Relles has been with me for two years now"
Guilt and Barron gave themselves a quick look as their suspicion was right
"That's surely a long time" Guilt commented
"Yep"
"Where's the rabbit" Barron asked getting impatient
"Why are you asking though" Hazel asked trying to probe them a little
"Nothing, just curious" Guilt said noticing Barron's mood
"It's in the room"
"You keep the rabbit and frog at the sane place"
"No… yes, but not in the same cage"
"What did you see in the frog, its a hideous creature"Barron said putting on a disgusted look
"Its kinda a long story… as I promised before, we should have brunch" she said trying to divert the topic from Lucas, the frog
"Sure"
They left to the dining to eat and Hazel all the way prayed that Elliot shouldn't make an appearance. Guilt and Barron didn't eat much, it wasn't even their kind of food to start with but they ate a little to avoid suspicion. To Hazel, this was the best brunch ever as both Mrs Decron and Dorin weren't there but it didn't mean she was comfortable as the two grim reapers filled the space of Dorin and Mrs Decron. After eating, she left them at the drawing room and strolled to the gated hoping to catch when Elliot will come in.
"Hello" someone greeted from her back and she turned to see
"Councilman Jordan"
"Ms Hazel, nice seeing you again"
"Same here… what brought you here?"
"I came to see you"
"If its about what happened last time, I'm sorry I can't give back your feelings. Its the Lord… "
"I have no problem with that, I can't force myself on you. I just find it hard to believe cause I haven't faced rejection before but I actually have no problem with you and the Lord"
"Seriously? You're not angry?"
"No"
"We can still be friends right"
"Sure"
"I'm relieved that you aren't taking it serious"
"I knew you would be worried so I came to clear your conscience"
"Hmmn"
"The Lord isn't around right?"
"Yes, he's at Rivelle" she sighed as she spoke
"Someone's missing him already" he teased
"You guessed right and I don't know exactly when hell he back. He said three days but today is the third day and he isn't back"
"He'll be back soon, don't stress that much"
