Unique brow arch in confusion Garrett never told her anything about his journey, why won't he inform her wasn't it important to.
"Am sure I will be fine" Unique said, Sophie was becoming impatient.
"Miss Unique remember your health you shouldn't go around doing work that will put you at risk, what if they ask you to sweep the floor or clean out a dusty room what then?"

Nalla came out in the mansion the street was dead silent, she took a step forward and began strolling off.
A carriage made their way towards her which they stopped on getting close to her.
"Hello senorita how are you walking all by yourself you need a man to jungle you through the night". The man in the carriage said stopping his Carter.
Nalla turned with a smile, "Are you the man?"
"Of course if you want me to be", the man said adjusting in his seat making way for her to get in. "There's always space for a pretty lady" he completed.
Nalla licked her front teeth and climb into the carriage, the Carter start the carriage. Soon enough the carriage began shaking and went still as soon as it started. The Carter stopped the carriage due to the movements.
"Sire is all well?" There was no response from within so he got down and open the carriage door, the sight before him was gut wrenching, In it was his master with his heart torn out and his neck torn open with the lady gone.
Fear grip him and he fell back running away to call for help.
Nalla watch from on top the tree with a grin she wipe her bloody hands on an handkerchief.

Fernandez look up through his brow at the both woman with one who was finally lashing back and the other who was fuming and boiling hot than the kettle on the cooker, his lips held a silent smile.
Unique turn to leave as she made her way out the kitchen, she climb up the stairs on her way to her room but suddenly Malta was on top of the stairs glaring at her, she must have used her super speed to get ahead of her.
"You stupid human you are nothing but an ordinary weak human Garrett would never be yours",Malta said as she got close to Unique who was still standing on the long stairs and pushed her back.
Unique eyes widen as she lost her balance on the stairs she tried grabbing the stairs case but it was a fail attempt because she was sliding down before she knows it.
"Malta!!!!" Shouted Mrs Smith who had just witness Malta pushing Unique off the stairs.
"MISS UNIQUE" came Sophie scream from the other side down the stairs shocked.
"MY LADY" Fernandez shouted he hadn't expect such turn of events and he wasn't fast enough to stop Unique fall.
"Unique rolled off the stairs and hit her head badly on the tiled stairs blood gush out her.
Everything stood still as she landed on the floor with a thud, she could feel the world spinning with every seconds that goes by, her eyes roll to the back of her head and she felt the conscious slipping out of her.

Garrett dropped the dagger he was holding on the dead man Infront of him, he had quite a struggle with him as he wasn't a easy one.
He turn and stare at the portal Infront of him, he had chased the bastard to the end of the earth. they were in the forbidden land which brought misfortune upon all creatures once on it.
The weather was no joke as it blew snow all about, mountains of snow standing proudly. He stood knee deep in the snow his clothes not made to withstand the cold temperature, thankfully he was a pureblood or he would have froze to death.
Not that he wouldn't feel the cold but at least he can hold out long.
"The damn land has mirrors of fake portal it hard to know the real portal that leads out of this damn place" Garrett murmur.
He was cut off of the outside world nothing was useful in the land only luck.
Garrett walked forward finding his way out, the worst part of the land which made it unfortunate and deadly was, one if you step into the wrong portal you dissipate no one live to tell the tale and he doesn't wish to be the one telling it.
Two, each minutes you lose your strength to think straight and remember who you are and that was rather worst.
Garrett had no other choice than to strive to survive.
