◇NO POV◇
In Casper's room,
Ana was smiling brightly by looking down because finally, they agreed for her to stay along with them.
Suddenly Draco said in his usual calm voice "by the way Human, tell me your parents' name" after listening to this her sweet smile faded away and turned into a deep sorrowful expression,
she blinked her eyes as tears are filled in her eyes while saying in low voice "I ...I am an orp....orphan, I don't know who is my father or who is my mother, Master."
The trio felt pity for her fate then Casper asked "then who is that Grandma Witch? Is she your Grandmother??? Then why you're a human, when she is a witch?"
Ana blinked her eyes innocently because of their continuous question and said "she is my saviour, she saved me in the forest from few wolves and then took me to her clan, I was living there with Becca, I mean Rebecca, something unusual happened there, that's why Grandma witch took us here and told me that I will be here with you all as a care taker for taking care of you people"
Ashton rolled his eyes to her word 'Taking care', then said "hey Little missy, listen you will be here for only 10 days, so don't mention this taking care thing again and again, now take rest."
She innocently asked, "Didn't you all said I will work here permanently, if I survive these 10 days?" Draco smirked and said "Yeah sure, you'll stay here permanently that too if you survive these 10 days and impress us, now take rest, we need to leave as we have lot of works."
She nodded her head obediently and was about to stand up but again fell with a thud on the couch because of her dizziness. This time Draco held her in his arm and said to Casper "She is still weak."
Casper felt pity and about to speak but Ashton said "Let me take her to her room" before they do something, Casper said out loud "No need, let her sleep in my bed, It's okay I am not gonna take any rest now, so she will be here only."
Ana dizzily said "No, master it's okay, I...I will go back to my room." Casper pulled her from Draco's grip and said firmly "I told you that you will stay here only, so follow my orders and sleep here" she shivered to his high pitch voice and nodded her head weakly.
Outside of the room,
Dominic was standing with a look of disgust. He leaned against the wall while waiting for his brothers to come outside.
Everyone came out of the room and froze after seeing Dominic there, Casper said "Bro" but stopped his word because of his brother's look,
Draco said to Dominic "Bro listen to us, we gave her only 10 days to prove herself, if she fails in our tests, she will be thrown out of the house."
Dominic darkly chuckled and sarcastically said "Owaaah, so after 10 days she will leave if she can't satisfy us right??? but why I am seeing that you all are already amazed by her."
Everyone looked down then Ashton said mischievously "Because she dares to tell that she can't leave because of the promise she given to the professor, so we will show her that how highly she was thinking about herself"
Draco also nodded his head as Ashton words are true but Casper was calm during the entire conversation,
he was have a different feeling, like not angry at the sametime not happy, his mind was in a mess.
So he only heard their talking, Dominic said while leaving "Do what you all planned to do, because this human shouldn't be here with all dangerous creatures like us."
Ashton pouted because of Confusion and said to Draco "Ya Drac tell me one thing ... Did he try to tell that it's dangerous for her to stay with us that's why he is not liking her presence? or did he tried to tell us that royal lord's like us shouldn't need any humans? Can you explain arghhhh me why his all talking is with so much riddle?"
Draco frowned to Ashton's childishness and said, "Stop whining like an one year child, because you are not a child anymore"
Ashton whined and said "WHAT? Why I'm not a child?, huh, I am a child comparing with all of you, don't forget that, humph."
Casper sighed at this neverending foolish war and went to the guest room for taking rest. The other two also went out.
It became middle of the night, so Draco came to Ana's room and made her to drink the healing potion as per Casper's order after that went out by closing the door.
Ana was sleeping peacefully on the soft mattress of the bed, suddenly the heavy wind started blowing hardly, the door of Casper's balcony opened with a thud,
a black figure slowly approached to the bed step by step in darkness,
due to the moonlight it was shown that someone was coming towards her, the black figure sat on the bed and looked at Ana, then its fingers caressed her neck, slowly it whispered with gripping her neck "You should leave soon from here, you don't deserve them."
Ana was feeling a little suffocated so she gasped and woke up with a heavy breath, the sweat droplets were dripping from her face and neck.
Draco came to the room hurriedly when he heard Ana's gasping heavily sound and said while sitting on the bed "What happened human? hey, talk with me."
Ana held his hand tightly and breathing heavily, He felt something is wrong with her, so he just keep on patting on her arm, he whispered, "I am here, it's okay, calm down."
She stammered and said "There.. there was someone, who gri...gripped my throat, someone there, please save me"
Draco checked everywhere but can't find anything, he felt that she had a bad dream and calmly said while looking at the door "This the most protected area, even a single bug also can't come, you dreamt of something bad that's it, don't worry, I was at outside of this room, so if someone came inside,I can sense by scent."
Ana nodded her head and again laid down on the bed.
At morning,
Ana was sleeping peacefully, but screamed out loud as she dreamt that she jumped in water.
She sat on the bed while breathing heavily but gasped when she saw the three princes were staring at her,
Ashton said with a smirk "hello, little missy, Congratulation because after me you got the free water service of Drac bro."
She looked herself as wet as a duckling who out from the pond, she looked at them with question mark face, they simply shrugged their shoulder and left but Casper said while glancing at her "It's time to cook, go."
Ashton said "Come with me" Ana nodded her head and followed him, he pulled out his magical royal wand and murmured some spell then a dress came to Ana's hand,
She looked at the dress with confused expression and whispered, "this dress?" Ashton said "It's maid's dress, you are not a princess Little Missy, so wear it after freshup"
she nodded her head obediently and ran to her upstair room, She looked at the huge closed door which was Dominic's room, then went inside her little room with a sigh.
She got dressed in a maid's dress which was black long frock till toes with white full sleeves, she sighed at her dress because she didn't liked the dress but murmured, "Ana fighting"
she made her long hair in a big messy bun and ran down towards the kitchen, She saw Ashton was already waiting for her, she pulled out one notepad with an ink pen and said "Tell me, master, What do you all eat usually in the breakfast?"
Ashton surprisingly asked " From where you got this paper and ink pen?"
Ana smiled politely and said "Actually I took this from Grandma witch's house. I used to write diary sometimes, that's why I kept it with me only, I took it here as I have to note down all of your preferences at a time by that I will not disturb you all the time, master tell me what you all eat for breakfast"
Ashton shrugged his shoulder and said "we don't have similar preferences, so you have to be careful because we need different food"
she nodded her head and wrote down the things told by Ashton, after telling their food list Ashton went out with a smirk.
Ana saw everything was there perfectly, so she took a long breath happily and started making everything,
within an hour she prepared everything. Every pair of eyes were looking at her from behind the door,
after making everything she placed them in a tray and went to the dining area, she placed food in front of three princes then looked at the stairs but Draco said "He won't come, after our eating send foods to him" she nodded her head and stood there calmly
A growl came out when, Casper saw the vegetable salad for him, his inner wolf growled in anger because as a wolf he liked only meat, he angrily looked at Ana who stepped back at the animal type growl,
even Draco snapped his eyes at his plate where seafood dishes are present, He gritted his teeth and shouted, "How dare you human? how dare you to give me this food?"
He was radiating green fog around him. Ashton questioned "Why did you give him seafood? He is the king of Sea, those all creatures are like his own child, How he will endure this?"
Ana was breathing heavily while looking at Ashton because he was the one who said those dishes for making, but now he is the one shouting at her,
tears were flowing from her eyes still she didn't tell them that it' was Ashton who made her to do all these things, Casper took a long breath and said harshly "You, you failed in your first day only, still, you have so much time so go away, before we kick you out"
She knelt before them and said "Master I ...I won't give up, I will work hard for other 9 days, please don't send me away" they were surprised by her stubbornness
Draco asked with a flaring nose "Who told you that we eat these dishes???"
Ashton licked his lips in fear, as he planned all these alone, because of Dominic's anger on Ana, he thought it will be good if Draco and Casper made her leave but he didn't think that they will be that much angry, he mumbled, "I will be dead meat if they knew I did all these"
but to his utter surprise, she said calmly "It's ....it's me who did it without knowing your preference beforehand, I thought to do this by my own I apologise I wil be more careful masters, give a chance to me"
Casper growled "You could have asked to Ashton, go now and give food to my brother, be careful"
she nodded her head while taking the food tray and ran upstairs, she stopped in front of his huge door then gulped down in fear, because only he made her scared like hell more than rest of the three princes,
she slowly knocked at the door, a deep voice questioned "Who is that?", she took a long breath and said "Ma...master, your breakfast"
he replied with a commanding tone, "put it there and go" She kept it there and was about to go but stopped herself then again came to the door and said "Master...umm the Second master told me to give you food by myself carefully. It will be cold so can I serve you now."
Dominic stood up from his chair angrily and put the mask on his face and said "Come in"
she slowly went inside the room and found him facing through a big balcony. everything was dark so she became scared,
he turned back with fear due to his dark gaze she stepped back, he became angry by seeing porridge in his plate,
he gritted his teeth and shouted "What the hell is this? do you think I am a patient? I am a demon who drinks blood along with flesh, you filthy Human if you can't handle these things then leave right now."
Ana knelt before him, because she already knew Ashton did it with purpose, she said while keeping her head down "Master, I apologise please forgive me master don't be angry, I won't repeat it ever again."
Dominic felt so much anger, so he held her wrist and started dragging her out of the room furiously, she was sitting on the floor so when he dragged her, she got hurt in her leg and started yelping in pain,
he threw her out along with the porridage tray and slammed his door closed, She started crying because her wrist got handprinted at the sametime her hand burnt when hot porridge fell on her hand, her knees and legs got cut due to his ferocious action
she hugged her knees and sobbed silently in pain....
