Tristan had driven for about half an hour to the place where he would at least get some answers about Ria or about anything about her possession. He was sure that the same thing had happened the previous night but she just didn't notice it.
He stopped at the black mansions gate and parked his car at the side and knocked loudly .
" Who?" an automated voice asked and he looked up at the CCTV footage and mouthed Tristan at it. He was sure they knew who it was but their stupid procedures had to be followed. The gates unlocked and he walked in. Many students were up and about. The BLACK MANSION ,was or is ,a school for students with any type of magical capabilities ,shape shifters , witches , vampires , fairies, banshee's , brownies, dwarfs,djinn ,kelpie or any power possessed person.
He walked to the main block to meet up with Rocco .He did not speak to anyone and just walked straight to his office and he could see the unease planted on Rocco's assistant face . Good thing they still feared him ,he smiled proudly at himself.
Rocco was seated comfortably on his plushy leather couch enjoying his wine . He looked up at Tristan and smirked a little.
" I knew you'd always come back to look for me " he said while looking at his office window. His office was a large and strangely cold .A dark walnut bookcase lining the entire left hand wall. Two antique clocks and paintings of jazz musicians. Trophies on a mahogany desk to the far right. His office desk is centrally positioned the couch facing it.
" I did not come here for you I just came here for some answers "he said as he comfortably sat next to him.
" What do you want to know ?" Rocco asked this time looking at Tristan who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Which beings have the ability to posses ?" he asked going straight for the point. Rocco's brows furrowed in confusion. Rocco was black-grey haired man and a well defined face. He wore a black suit that made him look very elegant and presentable.
"Where is this coming from Tristan ?" he asked .
" Just answer the damn question Rocco " Tristan muttered some anger rising somewhere in him since he knew that Rocco loves to be intrusive of other people's businesses.
"Eeey ,calm down Trissy ," he smiled then continued ,
"possession is not ,how do I say this ,it's not right and isn't supposed to be done ,it's kind of forbidden but not necessarily because it's bad but because once a person posseses another person they tend to acquire their qualities "
" You've not answered my question yet " Tristan said frankly.
" Demons and witches mostly " Rocco said in digust which Tristan noticed and wondered what that was about but he knew something was up but he wouldn't ask about it now ,then Rocco continued seriously as if he feared something or someone" who has been possessed Tristan I need to know ? ".
" What's up with you ,why are you so worried about nothing "he was amused by Rocco acting like a mother hen.
" It's not funny Tristan,who ? "
" Ok ,it's my friend who began to sleep walk lately " he did not want to give much detail about Ria " and I think it's possession "
" What makes so sure it's possession ? " he asked again.
" The last time she was in my house ,she slept walked specifically to the key room in my basement as if something was controlling her but she wasn't in conscious mind but after regaining it she was really confused on how she got there " he explained while omitting some details about that night.
" The key room huh ! " Rocco said then slightly smiled " what was she doing in your house ?"
Tristan looked at him and he could see where the conversation was going now. He stood and Rocco followed his movement.
" I need to see vilvine before I leave" Tristan said as he walked to the door . Rocco just stood and adjusted his suit and followed Tristan.
They walked through the hallways ,most students looked their way. Tristan was impressed by how the facility looked organized and neat.
" You've really made this place a home for them " Tristan said while watching some guys practicing their magic.
" Most of them don't have other homes or families out there so I'm doing my best to keep them comfortable but the cleaning is done by the brownies " Rocco said as they do took a corner and that's when he saw vivi practicing her Archery.
Brownies are elf's who do helpful work at night , cleaning and tidying up places .
Tristan saw vivi turn to look at her and he knew that she must have felt her presence in the area ,she wore all black, a black sweat pant and a black top written 'Hennesy' . She stopped and walked towards them smiling ear to ear . When she got close enough ,she stopped and frowned a little . She gradually approached him and smelt his scent in one breath.
"Brother ,I missed you so much " then she hugged him then whispered something to him " you smell of a woman , a lady to be precise ,who is the new princess " then looked at Tristan waiting for an answer but he just shrugged and looked at her smiling.
" How have you been and I wish this old man is treating you well " Tristan asked ignoring the presence of Rocco.
" Oh yes Trissy ,this handsome old man is doing really good " she added " what did you come here for ?" she asked.
" To see you or am I not allowed " he raised a brow at her.
" That's a lie you must have come here to do something different but it's allowed " she knew her brother all too well to believe his words.
" Ok then I had a different agenda but still wanted to see you "
" ok ,are you in a hurry " she asked nervously and he noticed it. Rocco had already left to attend to some business.
" Yes I am and I think I should be leaving now " he turned and held Vivi's hand in his " What's up Vee ?" he asked .
" Uhm I..I like this guy and um" she was rubbing the back of her neck " and he is one of the forbidden ones " she said in a tiny whisper.
Tristan stiffened in shock but not fear and immediately stopped walking and she saw it clearly.
"What specifically is he ?" he asked then continued to walk ,now slowly.
" A Demon Djinn " she answered in a low whisper.
" Then avoid him Vee " he said in a tone of finality.
Disappointment was written all over Vivi's face.
Tristan was also not happy to see her like this but he had to stop her from loving another forbidden one who'd end up using her for his gain. This was a responsibility of a big brother ,right.
Then her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at the group he had seen earlier. His brows furrowed , didn't she just say that he was a Demon Djinn ,what was he doing in a magic class
