Chapter 21 - Penelope takes the Reigns

The next day.

Penelope had woken up in the bed at the Inn. She looked around to see Ophelia Stepping out of the bathroom and no sign of the prince.

"Where are we? The last I remember... " Penelope remembered the events that had happened before she was put to sleep by Ophelia... she started to panic

"Wh...who are you...? My sister is not able to do any of what you've done... even since that Auction."

Tara stepped infront of her, and caressed her hair " All you need to know is that I'm on your side, I know my actions might seem strange to you but just know, as long as you never cross me I will never lay a finger on you. Besides, I promised her that I would find you"

"Her? Who is her? Your not making any sense" as Penelope felt strong chills creeping up the back of her neck from Ophelia's cold fingers

"Her? The one who came to see me, seeking my assistance. So that her soul can rest eternally after taking revenge on those who had wronged her and for her sister to be found." As Tara continued to twirl Penelope's red hair

Penelope's heart began to race" D..do you mean Ophelia?? What happened to Ophelia??"

" Well, young one.. your father's wife took it into her own hands to get rid of your sister as she planned to do with you."

"Lyria did?"

Penelope's heart along with grief in heart, started to turn into rage forgetting the unfamiliar feeling she was having with this strange woman.

"Tell me, what did she do to my sister"

Tara explained the events that had happened and the night Ophelia was killed along the same day Penelope was taken.

As Tara was about to finish with her sorry she topped it off with how before they came to her rescue that she had already tortured Lyria.

" So what is my father doing now, how did he take these events?"

"Well, there was a time when Ophelia had got the courage to tell him about it, but your father didn't want to believe Lyria was doing these things. She shrugged Ophelia off, and that was the last time they had spoken. But recently when I had returned with Pierre, He had told me about the events that had happen. At first William didn't believe what had happen with Opehlia. But then he finally broke down and admitted his sin, along with having Lyria arrested. She was supposed to go to trial in the capital, but I took into my own hands to mess with her a bit."

Penelope had a grave look on her face " father also needs to be punished, why should he get away with this?"

Tara smiled a sinister smile "would you like me to take care of him?"

"No. This is my family Matter, whoever you are. If Ophelia came to seek your help, then you can just assist me." She looked at Tara.

"What do I get then if I help you? If you just let me do it, I can thoroughly make sure they regret what they had done to both of you girls, watching on the sidelines is boring"

" If you help me with my revenge instead of taking charge, I will never tell another living soul that your not my real sister."

"I can just kill you to make sure that doesn't happen, besides that dead doesn't speak." As Tara smiled while brushing her hair away from her hair and placing her hand on her neck with her fangs showing.

Penelope gave her stern look " You won't do that. You haven't finished My sister's request yet and you need me alive to finish your task"

"How can you be so sure, don't you know you shouldn't trust anyone, including your own family. "

"Then how about I make deal with you as well? If you help me achieve me mine and Ophelia's revenge. You can have the entire Duchy's residence and wealth. I don't know where you came from. But while your here you need to have a base or a home to reside in. "

Tara tapping her finger against Penelope 's artery... " Alright" as she let go, "I'll accept your deal"

All of a sudden the door had opened

Cedric walked in and saw an errei atmosphere.... "Did I interrupt something?"

As he came back from breakfast

Penelope realizing the an odd looking man that just came in

"Who are you to barge into a lady's room?" Looking at the man walking up

Tara chuckled " Oh he's with us, hey Cedric, are they still serving breakfast?"

"Yes, today it was hot cakes with some eggs and some sausage.. would you ladies like to go down to grab some breakfast?"

Penelope watching Ophelia change her sinister attitude into a cheerful one in one go

"Yeah, Penelope. Would you like some breakfast before we go?"

Penelope sighed " I'll come down once I have cleaned up... are there any clothes I can change into?"

"Oh, hold on" Tara opened her inventory and gotten a long black dress out with a jacket

"Here you go"

Penelope still finding the situation weird " Thanks.."

After Checking out of the Inn.

They arrived back at the hideout. when they saw Lyria being held by the Cerberous under his paw while one of the heads had been licking her., Daniel was underneath the left back leg and James leaned against the stone wall, sweating and panting.

Juju looked up and saw his master, stood up and charged over to Tara and licked her face.

"Hey Juju, have you been a good boy? Did you have fun with your new playmates? I brought you a treat"

Tara snapped her fingers and the knights bodies appeared before juju.

Everyone in the room watched as the horrific scene unfolded as Tara looked pleased with herself.

Tara looked up at Penelopes face as she was about to throw up again. " I know you want to deal with Lyria. But can I do as i want with the other the other two?"

"Oh I have no need for the other two"

Tara grinned a big smile and walked over to James and squatted down in a short red dress that revealed her thighs and her see through red lace panties while revealing her heavy cleavage.. " You know. You look so delicious that I think I want to play with you for a while. I think I'll make you my personal blood bank."

Cedric spoke up before James could.."excuse me for interrupting Lady Ophelia. I would like to take Daniel if that's alright"

" That's fine, I'll let you play with him however you like. What you do is up to you." As she was keeping eyes on her prey.

James barely managing to barely keep his eyes opened while to look at her.

"Ple..please don't hurt him" lyria tried to speak up

Tara chuckled "ha! Look at that, " a human trying to plead for her * aquaintance* I thought you didn't care what happened to this man, so is the Duke not enough to satisfy your needs?"

"Tha...that's not it, he's basically like my brother. Please don't touch him"

Penelope walked over to Lyria who was trying to sit up and slapped her in the face.

*slap* "How dare you act like siblings are important to you! You didn't care when you spent all that time laying your hands on MY SISTER."

" Ophelia tried to warn my parents about you! I also thought that there was something off about you. But after my mother had passed, I wanted to stay by my dad's side to show him that I still cared and that it didn't have just you that he had in his life" as Penelope started to tear up

" You deserve to rot in hell, and honestly at this point you can take my father with you"

Tara leaned against the wall listening to her speech " I can arrange that for you" as she smiled

Penelope looked at her. " seriously, are you the devil?"

"Well, close to it. I can tell you all my secret but then all of you would be bound to me until you've either be of no use to me anymore or until your life lines have been filled"

Cedric spoke up " I don't care who you are, you could be a demon lord and I will still follow you. "

Penelope sighed " are you actually the demon lord?"

"Close, The King of the underworld is my father, while my mother comes from an ancient vampire bloodline"

Penelope realized... this is something she doesn't want to make enemies of, and the 3 that heard this conversation widen there eyes.

"Wha..what?" Lyria gasped

Penelope looked at lyria who was shoken up " Do you see who you've invited in this world?? This was your doing!"

" bu...but how?"

" Well, when you killed Ophelia, she had called for me. Now you get to pay the price"

Lyria started to laugh " ha! If I had known that was possible, I would of called for you myself. There were so many times where I needed you."

"Eh. Not interested. I don't need to hear about how pathetic your life was, and obviously it wasn't too bad since you've this handsome fellow by yourside."

Cedric and James looked up at her.

Who does she think is handsome? They both thought, Tara giggled.

Penelope getting back to the point " well until further notice, I want to have Lyria and my father both locked into the cell at home. Are you perhaps able to create a bigger prison with your powers?"

"Of course, I can do anything with my powers if I so wish for it. I can summon a pet, create a whole Palace if I wanted. Cast ancient spells and more."

Penelope shook her head, " Good"

Tara looked at juju as the 3 heads were licking there paws after they had just finished its me. "Alright, juju time for you to go home", she snapped her fingers and the 3 headed dog disappeared.

Tara looked around saw the bloodstains from before. Not wanting to let go of the beautiful seen, she snapped her fingers and the place had been cleaned up.

" Alright Penelope. Are you ready to go back?"

Before Penelope could speak " what about me? Can I come with you?" As Cedric approached Tara

Tara wrapped her arms around Cedric's neck and pressed her breast against his chest " didn't I just say if I revealed my secret that you will be bound to me for the rest of your life. Besides, where am I supposed to go without my personal knight?"

Cedric becoming hard again and began to blushed "

" Didn't I just tell you if I told my secret that you will be bound to me? Besides that, where am I supposed to go without my personal knight "

"Your right Lady Opheile" trying not look down at her body, seeing they were in a room with a few people.

After that, Tara snapped her fingers they all appeared in the basement of the Duke's residence. When they arrived, Tara went ahead and created a bigger basement with 4 other cells.

" we will need more guards"so Tara summoned 2 skeletal guards of the underworld to stand by and watch.

And that was how the new Prison was built.
