The Demon's Personal Maid

Rabbitnapped

Back at the mansion, Guilt and Barron had already left with the excuse that they couldn't wait for Mrs Decron but the truth was that, they had already did what they came for. Hazel and Jordan on the other hand talked for a long time and Jordan then left when Elliot came back
"I'll see you some other time" Jordan said
"Yeah bye"
"Have a nice night" he said bowing as he removed his imaginary hat. Elliot who came back, dragged Hazel into the mansion and her room
"What's going on Elliot? What's the rush and why do you look like you've seen a ghost" she joked
"Nothing's funny Hazel"
"Okay okay" she said waving her hands a bit
"I followed the nun"
"Martha, you mean"
"You know her name?"
"Of course I know her. I've been going to the church remember and besides, she's the closest person to Connor among other nun's"
"So that's what she meant" he said to himself
"Meant by what?"
"My suspicion were correct Hazel. That nun isn't a nun but a prostitute sent by the dark witches to find out about you and Connor and they know about you now"
"What!"
"She was sent by the dark witches, not just her but through the magistrate at Valish. She was able to win Connor's trust at her stay and truly he fled to Poetwyth and have Martha the key to give you. But she gave you the fake one" he said bringing out the real key to show her "she went to the magistrate to tell him about you being a white witch and he gave her a letter yo give the witches. I was only able to get this key and kill the magistrate, I do not know if she was able to give them the letter and if she was, the know that the witches now know about your existence and will track you. So I'll advise, you no longer leave the mansion until Xavier returns"
"Why didn't you go after the nun first" she complained still in shock
"If I had then I wouldn't be able to get this key, who knows if you might need something from that room"
"Great, now they know I'm the girl they are looking for"
"Yes"
"And they know I'm at the Decron's"
"I guess so too"
"Now what?"
"As I said, you are on home arrest and you've got to focus more on learning your white witch abilities, its the only way you can defend yourself"
"Do you think those books are just like stories you can read and understand that easily"
"I don't but I know that if you keep practicing, then you'll get it right"
"You're right though"
"Hmmn"
"… so guess who I saw today as you left me at the church"
"Who?"
"Your siblings" she joked
"Siblings?"
"Yes. Guilt and Barron, they came visiting …… actually they came looking for you"
"What! They came to the mansion?"
"Yeah, they took a a ride with me here and it was awkward and scary all the way and they kept asking of relles, seems like they knew you were once in it"
"They know I have the ability to posses animals, and since relles is close to you, they thought I might be there"
"If they had come much earlier, maybe they might have gotten you"
"Yeah"
"Also another surprise"
"What's it" he asked in a bored tone
"Relles has been rabbitnapped"
"Rabbit- what?"
"Rabbitnapped"
"You mean kidnapped?"
"Relles is not a kid and therefore can't be kidnapped. He had been rabbitnapped by your siblings, the only pet that has stayed with me for years now has been taken away all because of you and your game of hide and seek with your people" she wailed
"When they realize I'm not in there,I can assure you, they'll return him back"
"You think so cause if I was the one and I find out that what I was seriously looking for isn't in relles, then I would either throw it away or eat the rabbit"
"Seems like you're hungry"
"Of course I'm hungry but I'm also angry. My relles has been taken away and only God knows when he'll be back"
"You are overreacting, Hazel"
"Yes I am and that because relles is dear to me"
"Look relles will be back……"
"And they better feed him well" she interrupted
"…… we should focus on you and how to escape the witches plan to get to you"
"Fine, but if he isn't returned, I'll hand you over to them myself" she threatened
"Sure"
The next day, Hazel spent most of her time learning about the remaining two potions and she found out their use with the aid if the potion book, she was now fluent in spells so learning from the potion book wasn't hard anymore. Just immediately after a torturing breakfast with Dorin and Mrs Decron, Elliot left to search for Martha and Hazel went back to her spells, she had to learn everything herself now since Connor wasn't around any longer. At Valish, Damien was at the address the magistrate had given the past day, but the house was still locked. He decided yo stick around a little longer and after sometime, he went back to the mansion.
At the mansion, Mrs Decron had come again to give that potion yo Hazel to check if she was a witch, luckily Elliot came in that moment and as Hazel confidently took the potion to inhale, she secretly purified it and faked dizziness after. Elliot played along and took her unconscious body to her room, later on Mrs Decron came to check for any irritation and she found nine leaving her clear of any doubt of her being a witch.
"So, what's the news" Hazel asked after Mrs Decron left
"Well I got news about her" Hazel said
"What news?" He asked and Hazel handed him a newspaper which Elliot read "she's dead!!, how?"
"According to the papers, she was found close to a carriage, she and the carriage man were found dead, so it maybe when she was coming back yester night" Hazel suggested
"It only means Edith had killed her" Elliot concluded
"Why do you believe it was the witch, maybe it might be robbers, who knows"
"You don't know much about your step sisters right…… the dark witches carries knives along with them everywhere they go as their weapon and from this picture, she was slit on the throat. Definitely a witch"
"Why would she kill her then"
"Humans can't be trusted, I'm sure Edith thought that way also"
"I see…… so it really means that she have told them about me"
"I'm afraid so…… have you found a way yo bring Lucas back?"
"Not yet"
"Don't stress that much, you'll get it"
"I do hope I get it before Xavier comes back"
"Why?" He asked amused
"I can't imagine how angry he will be"
"Angry?, come on, I'm sure he'll laugh his fullest"
"He's not like you, he won't laugh and nothings funny here" she huffed
"Kpwooo kpwooo"
Translation: exactly, nothing's funny
The day went as usual and Hazel had planned to have her lunch and dinner at the room not wanting to face another episode of Dorin and Mrs Decron. The day was boring as a he only thing she did was to read and memorize new spells which was tiring. During the afternoon time, Collins had knocked on her door to tell about a visitor waiting for her, it was Evelyn and it was about the dance classes. Hazel then told him to make her to wait at the drawing room. Minutes later, Hazel came with Damien by her side
"Afternoon Ms Hazel" Evelyn greeted
"Afternoon Evelyn"
And Evelyn turned to Damien "hello Damien, nice seeing you again"
"Nice seeing you too" he politely said
"You really have a cute son, Ms Hazel"
"Thanks"
"When did you have him cause I'm sure he isn't Xavier's" Evelyn pried to which froze Hazel "I'm sorry if I went into personal matters" Evelyn apologized seeing she wasn't answering after some time
"Its nothing …… oh… uhm…. y-y-your right, he isn't Xavier's son, I actually h-h-had him at Bougreve" she managed to lie
"Okay then, I came regarding the dance classes we talked about last time, I was hoping we could start tomorrow"
"Why not today?"
"Its almost evening and dance classes are morning classes so it can be much easier to practice"
"OK, if so then tomorrow will do"
"Sure and I wanted to ask a question" Evelyn said which caused Damien imaginary heart to beat faster, what if the question was relating to him
"You can ask, go ahead" Hazel said
"I wanted to ask if……"
"Mum, can we go back, I need you to help me with some things" Damien interrupted in time, he didn't want to hear the question which she was about to ask
"We will go but let he hear Evelyn's question first"
'No don't you get, I don't want her to ask you the question' he shouted in his thoughts
"I actually wanted to ask if we could've friends, I like your personality and was hoping so" Evelyn completed
"Friends? Sure, its not bad right?"
"No it's not"
"Okay, till tomorrow"
"Yeah" and Evelyn left. Hazel went back to the room as Elliot followed
"Why did you interrupt her question" Hazel asked with a suspicious gaze
"I thought she was going to ask you about me"
"Really?" She said with a bored tone
"Yeah, she's  here to look for me so I thought she was going to ask if you've come across me before. One thing I know about Evelyn is that she is straightforward"
"Did you think I would expose you even if she asked?"
"You threatened me remember?"
"Oh that… I was joking,but if I don't find relles, then it will turn serious" she said to which Elliot rolled his eyes
"Anyways why did you accept being her friend, you know what she's trying to get from it"
"I know, as I said just to avoid suspicion and I'll be careful"
The next day came and Evelyn came as she had said, the class took some hours teaching Hazel how to dance. There was no doubt that Evelyn could dance and teach well.
"One, two three. One, two. One, two, three. One,two……"
She would repeatedly say slowly so Hazel can catch up. All the while as she thought Hazel, Damien was witted observing her closely. Throughout Elliot stay as a grim reaper and at the barrier, he had come to notice that Evelyn had a soft spot for him, she always find a way to talk or work with him which he most of the time, shun down. Having a romantic relationship between reapers was not allowed, Crane had personally made that rule and Elliot sometimes wondered why he did. But for Evelyn, it seems like she cared less about it as she openly showed her feelings. Elliot, on the other hand had vowed not to fall in love again after what happened to him, the last time with Theresa which was when he was still alive. Although, it wasn't Theresa's fault but he didn't just want to pass through that again but with Evelyn, he could feel his walls breaking slowly even though he tried as much not to show it. Damien sat there admiring the way she danced and unknowingly a smile left his lips. Hazel didn't fail to notice that and she planned to tease him with it
"Damien, why are you smiling to yourself" Hazel asked loudly snapping Jim out of his thoughts. He looked around confused before he spoke
"Was I?…. Oh… I like the way you were dancing mum" he said scratching the back of his neck
"The way I am or the way she is cause I'm pretty sure, I aren't doing it right"
"You're slowly getting it right, Ms Hazel. I'm sure that's why Damien was smiling" Evelyn said before resuming her teaching. Hazel gave him a mischievous glance while he responded with a mean stare. After the class was over and Evelyn left, Elliot spoke
"What was that all about"
"What" she asked innocently
"The smiling thingey"
"Oh that…… you were actually smiling and I wanted to ask why" she shrugged
"We both know that's not the reason"
"What else will be the reason or is there something going on in your mind"
"No"
"What reason did you have in mind"
"Nothing"
"Hmmn, let me guess, you were smiling because you like her in some way"
"Hell no, I don't"
"But you were smiling and staring at her like she was the only one around and you seemed deep in thoughts
"Let's go back and continue with your spells" he  said to divert the topic
"Trying to maneuver your way out of the question, I'll leave you for now but I won't next time" she said and winked at him and he scoffed
