The Demon's Personal Maid

Suspicious Nun

At Valish, a village in Borreve was Damien,he had followed that nun according to what he had told Hazel. The nun was heading to the magistrate's office and Damien followed her, he went just close to the office window so he was able to hear all what they said.
"Martha" the magistrate said when he noticed her, he was a short, potbellied man with a fat face and body, his teeth were yellowish in colour, his fingernails had grown too long and also disgusting and he was holding a cigarette between his fingers "what brings you here"
"Info on what I got from the church"
"Oh... and how is your stay at the church? I guess it'll be hard for someone like you who cannot sleep without a man by your side" he mocked
"It wasn't that hard. I still manage to satisfy myself"
"You sneak out to do that?" He said amused
"Of course" Martha was in her early forties, she had dark brown hair, her skin, not all that flawless and she was a human with an average height. She was a prostitute sent to the church by the dark witches to serve as a nun and get information about Connor, the magistrate was also a puppet in the dark witches hand. The dark witches had started to suspect him Connor and wanted to keep a close eye on him. The magtistrate who was also a human, found Martha when he was asked by the dark witches to look into the priest of the church. Martha was to be rewarded with a sum of money so she agreed "that place ricks with people always coming to give their confession and bla bla bla"
"You're so funny...... so what did you get ?"
"Their suspicion is partially right, Connor has left yo Poetwyth although he gave me a key to give the girl, I used it to go to his secret room and found some weird looking flask containing potions which looked like those of a white witch but when I checked the books he asked me to give the girl, they were cookbooks, so I wonder if he's actually a white witch and if he is, the the girl is also. He had asked me to give the girl the books and key"
"So he fled to Poetwyth?"
"Yes"
"And the girl, did you find out who she is"
"I guess she's the Lord's mistress, I've seen her there with the Lord"
"That means she might be staying at the Decron's mansion"
"Yes, she does"
"If she's a white witch, that means she's the girl they've been searching for"
"I guess so"
"That's good news"
"Now, my pay" Martha demanded
"I'll give you once you to one more thing for me"
"And what's that?"
"Wait" he wrote a letter and put it in an envelope, giving it to her "take this to the center town, there's a small inn just close to the black market there, go it and ask for Edith, you'll give it to her"
"Edith?" She asked to confirm
"Yes, Edith"
"Alright"
"I also never knew you were good in getting peoples trust" he commended
"How do you mean?"
"For Connor to give you that key, it takes a lot of trust"
"I didn't actually give her the real key...... I'm with it" she said bringing the key out from her bosom
"Then I'll need that" and he collected it
"I'll be leaving" Martha said to which the magistrate nodded. Damien who was outside was struggling to decide who he would go after first,it was already getting to the evening and the magistrate will close his office. He had to kill both of them so the dark witches won't get to know about Hazel and whatever they've discussed, but who to kill first was the problem, if he goes after the woman, the magistrate might have closed and then gone to give the key to someone else and if he was to meet the magistrate first, then the woman might would have given the letter out. After a while, he decided to see the magistrate first then find the woman later, he was sure she wouldn't go give whoever it was to be given, the letter, it was already evening and she might want to rest first. With that in mind, Damien left to the magistrate office
"Little boy, what brings you here" the magistrate said as he noticed Damien
"I'm here concerning the woman that just left" he said getting straight to the point. The magistrate paused to look at the boy closely. Had he heard all what they discussed?
"What woman?"
"Martha, the nun"
"What about her?"
"About the letter she had in her hands and who she's to give it to" the magistrate concluded that this little boy heard all what they had said
"Little boy, this doesn't concern children like you" he tried to coax
"Really?"
"Look, I'll give you some money and you'll promise that you won't say a word yo anybody concerning what you heard, okay?"
"I don't need your money Mr. How can you even work for them? And I'm sure you have been the one providing humans for their sacrifices" Damien harshly said to which got the magistrate angry
"Its none of your business" he shouted
"Oh it is" and Damien brought out his scythe
"W-what...... w-where did you get that from? Its dangerous and what the hell is that"
"The girl in question you are searching for is under my watch and I won't allow you to get to her" he then came closer holding the man's fist and he broke his fingers
"Aahhh" the magistrate exclaimed in pain "who the are you?, even a vampire doesn't have this much strength as a child"
"That you'll know later. Now tell me where the wan lives"
"I don't know"
"Sure" he twisted the broken fingers, breaking it further
"Aahhhhh, p-p-l-ease s-t-top" he pleaded
"Can you now remember where she lives?"
"I said I don't know"
"Seems like you're a tough guy" he then broke the other fingers at the other arm
"In this village!!" The magistrate shouted "she lives here in Valish, close to the town, behind the grocery market"
"Well, you could have saved yourself some trouble" he said before reaping his soul "Pray your reaper comes or else we'll meet at the barrier with you as a lost soul" Damien spat, he carried the key which was given to him by the nun and left the office, heading to the address he had given him about the nun, thinking that she might have gone home since it was late already. On reaching there, the house was locked meaning she wasn't home and had gone to deliver the letter. It was already late and he needed to see how Hazel was doing so he left promising to come back the following day.
Meanwhile, at the center town, Martha was at a particular inn where Edith was as the magistrate had said. She had gone that night cause she wanted her cash immediately
"He had tod you to hive me this letter?" Edith asked
"Yes, its about the girl you are looking for and Connor"
"What about Connor?"
"I think you're suspicions about Connor were right and if so, then the girl meeting him is the girl you had been searching for"
"But you said this girl stays at the Decron's mansion"
"Yes, she stays there"
"So Xavier knew about her all this while." Edith scoffed "I knew we shouldn't trust that demon"
"For him to take her to Connor means he knows but I'm not sure about it"
"Hand me the letter" Edith said and Martha did as told "I'm sure the magistrate has rewarded you"
"Not yet"
"Let no one know about this"Edith warned
"Sure, no one will know"
"Hmmn, you can leave" Edith said feeling satisfied and Martha left. It was already dark so she boarded a carriage to go home, she noticed she was the only passenger in the carriage but didn't think too much about it, it was already dark and that was why there was less people, she thought about the reward she was going to get the next day from the magistrate and smiled. They were moving and when they reached a lonely pathway, the carriage suddenly came to a halt, she went down to see what has happened and to her shock, the carriage man was dead with blood flowing down his throat. She looked around hastily to see who might have done it but saw no one. She then went back into the carriage to get her bag and run away but as soon as she came out, she met another surprise
"I guess you were looking for me" Edith said with a sinister smile on her face
"W-what are y-y-you doing here?" Martha asked
"What am I doing here? Its simple, I'm here to clear you out of the way"
"What? What did I do wrong? I got the information you asked for"
"I know and that's where the problem is Martha, I can't just allow you to go when you know too much"
"I promised, I won't say a word about this"
"I know that bit humans are not meant to be trusted"
"You can't kill me"
"Oh I can"
"Please don't kill me, I promise I would never say a word to anybody"
"I know but you can keep that promise better when you're dead. Don't you think?" And Edith sliced her throat making blood gush out repeatedly. She watched as she struggled to breath holding her throat until she dropped dead "foolish humans" she spat on the body that laid before her
