The trip to Trancy manor was quick and easy. The roads were clear and the weather perfect. Lily did not show any indication of waking, though she did stir a few times as if she were struggling or in pain. Sebastian wondered what could be going on in that brain of hers. They finally arrived not too long before nightfall, Sebastian muttering about how this should be quick so he could hurry back to prepare dinner. Alois noticed the carriage and ran as fast as his boots would allow him.
"bloody heels.." Alois swore under his breath, "Sebastian! Is she in there? Can I see her?"
"of course. May I be permitted to carry her to the room you have prepared?" Sebastian asked as he moved to grab Lily.
"sure, but hurry please. I'm so excited she will be working here. Hey, why is she unconscious?" Alois said as he saw Sebastian carry her out of the carriage.
"well, I had some difficultly getting her here, so I had to knock her out for some time. Don't worry, she should wake up in an hour or 2."
"ok, good. Well follow me, her room is up this way." Alois said as he motioned for Sebastian to follow him. Sebastian took note of the room being up by where the master bedroom should be as he laid Lily on the bed.
"well, I shall be taking my leave. Please do take good care of her." Sebastian bowed to Alois and began walking towards the door.
"of course. Have a good evening."
"good evening to you too, Lord Trancy."
Alois sat on the bed and stared at Lily. He grabbed her hand and didn't let go, eagerly impatient for her awakening.
Night had fallen, Lily awakening to a blonde fuzz in her line of blurry vision and pressure on her hand. As her vision cleared up, she realized that it was none other than Alois Trancy holding her hand.
"I see your awake. Welcome to my manor. You'll be working as my maid/protector from now on, but you probably already knew that." Lily wiggled her hand out of Alois' and sat up.
"Where's Chase? Is he ok?" she asked frantically as she bolted off the bed and towards the door. Alois moved quickly and blocked it, as his brain "clicked" into a different mood, aggressively grabbing her wrists.
"I don't know who this this Chase is, nor do I care. I want you to forget about him and focus on your job." Alois "clicked" back to normal and released his grip. "Anyway, you'll be working with Claude, who will judge your skills, and with Hannah on being a Trancy maid. Oh, this will be your room here, so don't get lost tomorrow. Claude will wake you in the morning, Good night." And with that, he left.
Chase woke up to find himself on the floor of a barren bedroom, shackled to the bedpost. He noticed that he had shackles on his ankles and throat too.
"I see your awake brother." Chase followed the voice to find
Sebastian standing by the door.
"You…."
"Yes, yes. Its me, your dear brother Sebastian." He replied, cutting off Chase.
"You know, I've never liked your sarcasm all that much. But anyway, where's Lily?"
"Well, she is perfectly fine. She has already been taken to Lord Trancy's."
"What?! Dammit…." Chase said as his head lowered, starting to ponder his way out.
"Don't worry, she should be just fine, plus this is for your own good. You shouldn't be fraternizing with other girls, let alone species. You're mate is to be human Chase, so stop trying to go after Lily. It is not meant to be. Forget her and move on. Now I know your probably trying to formulate a way out of this, but there isn't. You're brothers and I will check on you every once in awhile. Now I need to return to my master." Locking the door behind him, he leaves without another word. Chase sat there in silence, a wave of sadness kicking in, "I'm sorry Lily, I couldn't protect u. and sorry to Galen and Quinn, putting you through this…."
Lily awoke the next morning after a long and restless night of little sleep in the foreign mansion. Claude walked in the moment after she sat up exhausted.
"It is time to wake up Lily. You're new uniform is on the chair. Please report to the kitchen when you have dressed." Bowing, he turned and left.
" Hope it doesn't look weird….."
She got off the bed and made her way over to the uniform, which is basically Hannah's but with the skirt stopping about the knees, with white tights and black mary janes. Once dressed she tied on the hat thingy it came with and set off for the kitchen.
"Here goes nothing…." She sighed as she entered the kitchen and took a seat with the others. She noticed that every one of them was a demon. "Jeez….. whats with this place?" she thought.
"Now that Lily has joined us, I can assign you to your jobs. Today we will be testing your abilities as a maid along with your skills as a so called protector. So what can you do?" Claude asked with his usual emotionless face.
"Well, I am highly skilled with many weapons and hand-to-hand combat. I also have wings. Maid wise, I can cook, clean, do laundry, the usual stuff. Seems suitable enough for you?" she crossed her arms as she smirked at him.
"Yes it should. You will be following Hannah around today. She will explain how it runs here and do everything she says. You are dismissed." He turned and left to wake Alois. Hannah came up to Lily as she stood,
"Come Lily. Let us start with the laundry."
