Scott held onto the podium as he spoke in his deep baritone voice. " Currently, Josette and Alice are undergoing treatment due to the injuries they received, deeply caused by my brother", Scott said listening for any sounds as he scanned the people present.
" I do feel sorry that they have to lie there because of Liam but I am still angry that they didn't follow simple instructions so therefore the punishments they get will be acted on once they regain conciousness", he said and the crowd went up in murmurs before calming down as they heard Scott clear his throat.
Both the old and the young wanted to hear Scott's judgement. They were only a few old people left in the Manor. Some of them had grown up cherishing the Manor but ended up leaving to view the world before they were taking away by death.
Some were now doing one charity thing or the other or spending time with other humans who are old as well so they can at least enjoy their old ages. Only few stayed around and those few were actually respected in the Manor.
" Roseline Alvarez", Scott called out and Rose stepped forward closer to him. " I would like you to explain your involvement in the act of breaking into Liam's Manor", Scott said walking away from the Mic as Angie supported Rose towards the Mic.
Rose stared down at the inquisitive eyes of people staring back at her. Everyone wanted to hear what she would say. She once used to look at those who were called to trial with these same inquisitive eyes but she didn't know she would have to stand on the podium one day to explain her said crime.
" I.... I am Roseline Alvarez", she introduced herself as she stared at her twisted fingers lying in front of the podium. " I was the one who brought the idea of breaking into Liam Cohen's Manor", she said softly and gasps from the other creatures followed suit.
Eleanor smiled in her seat remembering how she had blamed Rose for literally everything that happened in school and how she was unable to do a thing. She didn't let her gaze fall from the nervous looking Rose who looked like she couldn't take the stares she was getting.
" I gathered this witches because I thought that a few witches and myself could actually take down Liam and grab the missing box that Liam had stolen. Scott did tell me to not think about it and I did not listen so if there's anyone to blame it should be me", She said and the hall just went silent as everyone digested in the released information.
" Also", she said drawing everyone's attention back to her. " Melvin had nothing to do with it, he also told me that I was plotting something stupid but I didn't listen and I thought he would cause damage to my plans so I sent him to sleep with a spell", she whispered the last part but it was a microphone so literally everyone in the hall heard.
Gasps followed shortly after the revelation and then scowls from different tables.
" I didn't know Rose could be so vile and impulsive", a wolf lady commented with a frown on her face.
" Attacking your own, Rose went too far", a witch said afterwards.
" She is so just like her mother, impulsive and selfish", another person said. Every table had one thing or the other to say about Rose's confession.
Scott cleared his throat as he stood in front of the crowd with Rose no longer being there.
" Roseline Alvarez is now banished from the Safe Haven", he pronounced with a serious look on his face and gasps could be heard coming from the crowd
Rose stared at him with tear filled eyes. Banished, she can't be banished, she literally grew up here, this place was her home.
" Scott please...", she begged out loud in a broken voice not minding her reputation. A banishment was a very harsh punishment and she really wouldn't be able to live anywhere without everyone. This place was her home, she just can't leave.
" Roseline Alvarez will be allowed to visit only twice a week", Scott continued not caring about Rose's silent pleas with her eyes. This was also hard for him too, every creature in this Manor was like the family he never had.
Even Rose, he had met her when she was just six years, walking down the road all alone at midnight. A vehicle was driving recklessly and would have crushed her to nothingness and if he hadn't stopped in his tracks, he wouldn't have noticed how she raised her hands up stopping the vehicle before it could even harm her.
Then he knew she wasn't ordinary and he had smiled at her like he had found a gem. Banishing her from here was hurting especially when he was the one who brought her here himself but every disobedient person needs a punishment and he couldn't think of any other punishment that was worse than this.
He put on a serious face once again as he continued. " She will live with a family who had recently moved to Brookeville, they are a family of humans and it would let her blend more with them. She will still remain Rose because they have adopted her but she's human to them so Rose will not get the satisfaction of using her magic in an open space again.
" Until she can do something that would guarantee her being forgiven, she remains banished", Scott said grimly and the hall goes up in a ruckus as two strong wolf men lead Rose away from the room with her pleading and begging Scott to let her stay.
Rose's cries soon disappears from the room as Peacelynn is called to the mic and the hall sinked back into absolute silence.
★★★★
The sound of a woman's sexy voice fill the room as Camille moaned in ecstasy trying to reach the supposed heaven, her back was arched as Ethan plunged into her much more wildly as they searched for each other's release not minding that they were completely strangers to each other.
A man's groan and a woman's moan covered the entire room as Liam watched the sight in front of him while sitting on the only couch in the room, drinking blood from a glass cup as he watched the live sex show given to him.
" Stop", his voice sounded, thick with authority. Camille's face contoured in a frown and Ethan's in frustration but they stopped anyway not reaching the supposed cliff.
They entangled from each other's body as they remained naked in front of Liam's probing eyes.
" You both didn't think I would let you orgasm did you?", he asked as he stared at their confused expressions before he immediately broke out in a small laughter.
He dropped the glass cup at the nearest small table and stood up, casually rolling his sleeves. " You monster", Camille spat out even though all she wanted to do right now was jump into Ethan's arm and let him fuck her till she climaxed.
But Liam's one word was keeping them from giving each other relief. " You haven't changed, still playing cheap to win", she said angrily wishing she could just get up and punch that constant annoying smile off his lips.
" Oh please like you didn't also play cheap to win dearest Camille", Liam said smugly as he walks towards her. His eyes remained fixated on hers and she didn't know if to be happy that his eyes were not wandering or be angry that he put her in this awkward situation.
" You left me to die with hunters, I would have gotten killed", he said with fake sadness as he reached where she was curled up in the bed, naked and clear before his eyes.
" Now Iook at me", he said softly and her green eyes stared back at him as if she was in a trance while Ethan, a brown haired blue eyed young boy watched their interactions from the sidelines.
" Take your hand to your neck", he said softly, his eyes watching her every move as she breathed in deeply and like someone who no longer had control of what she was doing, she does as he said.
" Choke yourself to death", Liam completed as he backed away from her, his eyes not losing contact with hers as his annoying smiled still graced his lips.
A small part of her conciousness wanted to protest but Liam had already taken the rail so all she could do was choke herself to death while Liam watched her, returning to his position on the couch and retrieving his glass cup.
Camille fell back on the bed afterwards, lifeless and naked, just like she had found her sister's body in the hotel room. The only difference that her sister was covered in blood and she wasn't.
Liam stared at Ethan's face with uninterest. " You will do well as my Manor's Butler and the other uses I can think of, get dressed dear Ethan", he said to the young teenage boy as he stood up and headed towards the door of the guest room.
" Oh Ethan", he called out and the naked teenager stared back at him just realizing that he had been fucking an older woman ever since.
" Dispose that", Liam said pointing at Camille's lifeless body and he finally walked out of the room.
Ethan stared back at Camille and his expression brightened up, he was not going to die anytime soon, Liam spared him.
