Two carriages packed in front of a shading looking mansion the walls looking old and grey as it could be seen that the mansion has stood there for centuries
Hopping down from his carriage Vernon straighten his overcoat followed by a man with a scar on his face from afar one could assume that his human but examining closely his eyes had a shadow of gold in them. Walking passed Vernon he walked to the entrance of the mansion.
On hearing the sound of a carriage wheel the housekeeper opened the doors to see an unfamiliar man. "how may I help you, and who are you looking for".the housekeeper said while he carefully examine them.
Bringing out a scroll from his coat's inner pocket, he rolled it open showing the man what was written in it "we are from the council and we would like to ask Mr. Foster and his wife a few questions".
Verifying what was written he then said "Mr. Foster isn't home right now but the lady is, " the housekeeper said with a dull voice.
"That okay wells, inform Mrs. Foster that the councilmen in charge of her daughter's case is would like to see her," Vernon said from behind.
"this way councilmen " showing them in.
Walking into the main living area the three men took their seats, making such that they were comfortable he went to inform lady Helen. Leaving the men to their discussion he went up the grand stairs to call his mistress.
Seated in front of a mirror Helen combed her hair weaving her hand through it dropping the comb on her dresser she stared at her complexion hard, with her jewelry gone her back was bare and she had an afternoon party hosted by one of the rich vampiresses, she sighed inwardly. Disturbed by the sound of someone knocking on the door. "I want to be left alone," she said to whosoever was out there.
"Forgive me my lady but the councilors request for your presence downstairs" he replied.
Her eyes broadened, what were they doing here standing up immediately she opened the door "why did you let them" she questioned.
"there was no instruction regarding them".
"learn how to use your brain wells before told to". Closing the door behind her "prepare some blood for them." she told the housekeeper.
Spotting them in the living she gritted her teeth of all day why today when her husband was not home. "calm down Helen you did nothing wrong their probably here to ask a few questions so don't blow it" mentally prepared her mind.
"councilmen what a surprise to see you all here" she gave them a charming look.
Tobias stood up to greet the vampiress "Mrs foster sorry for the unexpected visit as it was an urgent matter that calls for both you and your husband's attention". Kissing her hand that she w brought in front of him.
Helen stood there waiting for the two men to greet her, seeing them unmoved and not planning to exchange pleasantries, she awkwardly took her sit.
Striking the nail on the head the werewolf went to the point. "there's been an update in your daughter's case, by any chance do you know any who goes by the name Milton" Lionel questioned.
A little bit alarmed by the question "Milton..... No I don't know who he is to yanvie " she quickly said shaking her head swiftly.
"he to yanvie" Vernon picked up the line from her statement "he did not ask for their relationship, but if you knew a person called Milton. "
"so he knows her" Lionel confirmed.
"you said that there's an updated in the case so when you asked about the Milton person I figure out that he might be related to her death" trying to make sense out of what she said.
"your words say otherwise" testing the woman he then said "for the past months yanvie had been secretly meeting the werewolf without anyone's knowledge right Mrs. Foster" Vernon's eyes kin on the vampiress.
"I have no idea of what you are talking about and there is no reason she would be seeing someone under my nose when she's fully aware that her parents would support her in any decision he takes".
"what about the engagement ceremony was she forced into it," Tobias said as he was being left out in the interrogation.
"marriage of connivance " she simply replied.
"hold on a sec is it just me or that we were not offered any refreshments" Vernon was stating the obvious.
Helen was filled with embarrassment "I apologize for the delay such that it will be here soon". Where was that lowly housekeeper she thought?
Lionel glared at Vernon they were discussing a serious matter and all he was thinking about was refreshments. Vernon felt his gaze and gave him a what did I do look on his face.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the housekeeper was turned in between not knowing if he should go back and tell the mistress that both the blood reserve and milk tea was finished and since there was no animal in the shed there was no other alternative.
Coming to a decision he went to the living room to inform her, bowing his head he walked to where she was seated and whispered to her the situation.
Helen thighed her hands when she heard what the housekeeper said what was she going to tell them?
It seemed like both Helen and the housekeeper forgot that two vampires were present in the room.
"Blood for a maid will do for now" Vernon suggested.
"why not" turning to look at the housekeeper "send for a maid".
A few minutes later a human who looked less than eighteen years came in bowing her head her heart pounding in her chest knowing fully well why she was sent for.
Using his hand,Vernon signaled her to come forward, to their surprise she did not move one bit.
"your servant lacks discipline Mrs. Foster " Lionel staring at the creation in front of him.
"you know how humans can be they are very scared" looking at the human"go! "
"mistress am sorry but I can't" the human spoke and ran out.
"you insolent thing come back here!! " she shouted out standing up wanting to follow the maid, Vernon stopped her.
"don't bother about her, have lost my appetite". With amusement on his face after the little scene.
"that's all, for now, we will be on our way" Lionel stood up.
Helen was fuming with anger how could that foolish girl embarrass her in the presence of these men if she sets her eyes on that human she will rip her head from her body.
Getting outside to be heated by the sun. "there was no need for the drama Vernon we can all agree that blood isn't your problem" Lionel commented as the two of them were walking in the same foot range.
Vernon strolled past him disregarding his question.
********
In a beating dungeon filled with a werewolf that was wrestling other for fun, a man standing in midst of all the noise enjoying the show turned back when someone tapped him.
"Are you not going to wrest today I heard some rich folks are betting a lot of money, " a man said his upper body bare.
"Not today am a little bit weak," Milton said his face covered with scrapes.
