In the lands of Borreve, at the Decron's mansion,Lord Xavier was seated in his room where maids attended to him, one doing his hair, another was getting oil around his body and the last was getting his clothes ready. When he was fully dressed, his right hand man, Lucas stepped in
"Milord, sorry for interrupting but some ladies are here to see you"
Xavier tilted his head "Ladies?"
"Yes Milord" then Lucas bent forward to whisper "the dark witches"
Xavier held an unchanged expression even after what Lucas said "Take them to the dining room, I'll be with them shortly"
Dark witches were hated by both vampires and humans but Xavier seemed like he harboured their stay. They were improvised witches and took the form of vampires to live in Borreve. They were close to Xavier cause he was actually a demon and to unbind the dark magic, they needed him as a demon. Xavier walked out of his room and the maids gave way as they bowed, he had lean muscles, thin waist, sharp jaw and tucked chin, his jet black hair combed backwards, his shirt first three buttons were open revealing his strong chest, his lips thin and pale pink, his eyes were dark red as those of a vampire, he looked nothing less to a seducing demon. He walked straight to the dining room to meet the witches. They had neither touched their food as they've been waiting for him. He sat down as they discussed.
"We have to perform another sacrifice Lord Xavier" a witch named Edith said "as as it was, we need people for it"
"Now, I'm wondering why your telling me this unless I'm among the people to be sacrificed" Xavier spoke
"Of course not, we're saying this so you could cover up our trails if we leave one" another named Pelles said
"You had always left tracks after each of your dealings leaving me to clean your mess"
"Well we are on a deal and you have to keep to your side"
"I could just wake up and decide to call off the deal, who knows" he chuckled dryly after saying that " Any idea where the girl is"
"No we can't perform the location spell until this sacrifice is done" Edith said
"And the requirement for this sacrifice" Xavier asked
"As usual, a vampire, a human but this time a witch also" their leader Silles said
"And why one of your kind?"
"A dark witch will be used as an atonement before we begin the markings"
"Do not take your markings on my land as I do not want a massacre happening here" Xavier said
"Then where"
"Bougreve is the human land, we care less about them....I'll provide the human and the vampire, you take care of the witch" he said before finishing his meal and left. Xavier had made a deal with the witches do they could unbind the dark magic but the truth was that both parties we're deceiving each other or rather Xavier was deceiving them.
On the witches side, they were actually trying to hold on to Xavier for the final sacrifice to open the portal as he was the one to be sacrificed but the problem was that, as a demon he is immortal and can't be killed but only a girl who was prophesied can do so. So the both parties are both in search of the girl but with different purposes, the witches purpose was to keep her so she could kill Xavier at the end and Xavier purpose was to kill her so no one could threatened his life.
Xavier left the ladies presence and went to the court room. The moment he entered, everyone bowed their heads to show respect and he sat.
"Theodore" Xavier called one of the councilmen " speak what you came for"
"Milord there has been instances of where people had come across dark witches living amongst us and I've come to collect a guarantee so I can investigate well on this matter" Theodore said
"Witches in Borreve right?"
"Yes Milord"
"You can go on but bring any to see back here, do not burn any"
"Yes Milord..... and also the humans we abducted are now in Borreve"
"Okay...and I was thinking of getting a personal maid"
"But maids are meant to be paid,these humans are slaves"
"I never said I wanted a slave....I'm sure there have been letters, get them to me and I'll choose from it"
"And what do we do with the abducted ones"
"Get me one and the rest keep them as the slave establishment for them to be sold"
"Yes Milord"
Xavier turned to Lucas " I'll be taking s stroll to the forest, take care of the mansion" and he apparated from there. It wasn't the first time he did it so the councilmen weren't shocked but they kept wondering how he fit such abilities as normal vampires do not posses such.
Deep in the forest was Xavier going towards a fenced wall, he did train wolves and kept them at the forest, they were about six of them, the alpha of the pack was white. The moment they saw him, they ran towards him and he patted their heads softly, he remembered the circumstances he had to go through before he got them, he had to fight with them back when he was younger to gain their loyalty. As he patted them, he noticed that they were only four and two were missing. Hr decided to track them with their scent, the four others followed him. The scent was strong so he guessed they weren't far. He walked some meters and finally saw them but they were growling at something, he came closer and noticed it was a girl.
