Sweating heavily for the long journey, since there was no local carriage available, he had to trek some distance before he got a lift form a fellow vampire. Finally arriving, he sighed.
The guard on duty was catching up on his sleep when a shadow fell on his face. He opened his eyes to see who was disturbing his sleep.
He widened his eyes seeing it was his master that was back.
"Ma... master Markus, you've back "almost choked on his word while taking his bags, looking behind he as he was not seeing his master's carriage.
Markus entered the building walking straight to the main manor. The servants kept their heads to the floor every time they saw him coming.
"Master Markus is back," Anastasia informed them, happiness bobbing in her voice.
"Where is he? " Aure asked subconsciously, adjusting her grown
"He's in the main mansion going to see Madam Peggy. Anastasia replied, tugging Aure by the arm, "Come let's go see him."
Aure slapped her hand off her. "I don't see men. They are the ones who find me, not the other way around. "
Her response offended Anastasia. "Fine, you can keep on waiting for men." storming out of the place.
Markus was now in his mother's chamber after receiving a warm welcome. He was looking at his mother who had become even more beautiful over the recent months since he left.
"I did not hear the sound of your carriage. " She had observed.
"Something came up, so I had my coach take it somewhere." Trying not to make her worry too much. "Is Aure not around? ".
"She's probably in one of the corners of the mansion getting pretty." Saw the box in his hand holding it protectively. "Was it in the box? " She asked with curiosity.
"It's a gift for Sure," opening the box for his mother to see the necklace that had a unique stone in the middle of it. "It's called the night sleeper ".
Peggy could not help but want to have a better look at the necklace that had a glow radiating from it. Stretching her hand forward to touch it, Markus immediately closed the box, which made a sharp sound because of the force he used.
She shuddered her hand to herself and looked at her son with questioning eyes. "I was just going to hold it to feel the texture. I was not going to steal it."
"I know, but your expression says otherwise, like I said it's a gift for her, "he knew his mother too well to know all her tricks after getting a hold of it. There was no giving back.
Standing up, "Am going to see Aura," carrying the box with him, he opened the door to find Anastasia standing there.
"Sir Markus, you're back. I did not know you were coming today. I would have prepared a present for you, " she tried to behave coy
"Anastasia, how are you doing? Look at you all trying to act mature. My mother must have informed everyone that I would be coming." Knowing fully well that it was all an act to gain his attention.
She foreign ignorance and brushed what he said off her shoulders and continued, "Well I must have missed the information."
"sorry but I have to go." He walked off as he was not interested in what she had to say.
Reaching Aure's room, raising his hand as he was going to knock, he heard her voice from behind.
"Looking for me already? "
He turned around to see her in front of him, and he noticed that she was putting on the dress he bought for her. He kept on staring at her with his red eyes, admiring how beautiful she was.
Aure snapped her fingers and brought him back to his thoughts. "It's rude to stare at a lady without her consent."
"I did not know that one needs permission to admire the beauty in front of him. "
Aure rolled her eyes at his comment. "What's in the box?" pointing at it.
"Inside this box, you will find a beautiful necklace that befits a queen like yourself. "he took out the necklace disregarding the box to the floor "May I".
Coming to stand at her back, he parted her hair to the side, bringing the necklace to her front. He wore it around her neck, clipping it.
Feeling the weight on her neck, she touched the pendant, bringing it up to look at the strange yet very beautiful stone. "Night sleeper, " she uttered.
"Have you heard about it?"
Letting go of it, "Yes, from one of the vampires they said it was a very rare stone, and not many know of it. How did you get your hands on it ".
"I have my ways of getting things and when it comes to you, I can do anything".
