Jayla was sitting in her chair, with the early morning sun on her back. The newspaper before her, spread out on her desk. The headline was clear.
"Twin disappeared from bedchamber, parents here nothing!"
She sighed as she read it again. She had not been a step closer to the convict who did this, she only knew what she already knew before. She just had confirmation. Next to her there was a map, filled with each twin that had disappeared in the last two years. At least of those she had been able to track back.

The door went open yet the girl didn't looked up. She perfectly knew who was entering, bringing her her morning tea. She heard the car rolling over the ground, the trembling teacups on it. When the noise stopped, she knew he was close. She stilled handed lifted her eyes and he had seen it as well, showing a sneer on his face, knowing she wouldn't see it. Perfectly aware that he was staring at her, she refused to look up.
"Did you had a good night's rest, Milady?"
Damn, you … she almost wanted to hit him, but she hold herself and kept staring at the newspaper, faking that she was sunken in her thoughts.
She could feel his scent floating in her nostrils and it brought back the visions of that night. She hadn't been able to sleep afterwards, thinking about it. It had even, haunted her dreams for the rest of the night. When the morning had broken, she got up from her bed on her own and had left it, not waiting for his assistance. She had no idea how she would react when she would feel his fingers back on her skin.

Even when she didn't replied to his question, Sebastian worked further with preparing the tea and served it before her. Again without looking up she took the cup and took a sip before she placed it back. Apple with cinnamon.
He walked behind her back and she could swear that he let his fingers run over the chairs back, barely touching her hair.
"Another twin disappeared?" He purred.
"Yes, it has." She had to reply one time. With a sighed she dropped the paper on the desk before she looked up at the door.
"I'm going to the stable. Prepare a brunch when I get back."
"Yes, My Lady." He bowed yet Jayla didn't stayed t look at it and quickly left the room. She had to get away and focus her senses again. Her horses were a perfect way for that. Knowing that he wouldn't come there, unless ordered, she knew that she would be 'alone' out there, except for the people that worked at her stable. The horses had to be trained afterall. They wouldn't win races by themselves.

Not an hour later, she was dressed up, sitting on Firedragon's back, trotting in a steady pace around the track. She had asked to run alone, so the rest of the trainers were scattered over the track. It kept the stallion calm, but also focussed as he saw others running before him. With a small movement of her hands, the stallion jumped over to an easy canter, reins loose. He galloped over the sand at an easy pace to not work him out. He snorted content and Jayla smiled. He was a nice horse to work with, not to hot in his head yet enough feeling for running to make it exciting for him. While the stallion ran over the track, Jayla was thinking back, reciting the names of all the twins that had be lost in the past two years. Each time they thought they had found a link, there was always one that didn't fit in. And she probably didn't knew all of them as she was certain some were never discovered.

Children of high classes, children of low classes, children of maides, children of doctors, …

"But never of …" Jayla suddenly said. Could it have been this easy? Could she have missed that? What if she didn't had to order them in a classes, but trace back their highest connection.
"Idiot …" She said. She had to get back, order Sebastian to trace everyone and find the common name between it.
"Oké, Fire, let me see that you are Dragon's brother."
A flick of the reins was enough so suddenly wake the stallion yup and stretch his legs. He flew over the racetrack. She could feel the muscles roll under her legs, she saw the veins in his neck setting up, hear him snorting.
"Damn, you're fast."

"Sebastian, where the fuck are you?" She said, dropping her coat on the chair. She had to check them directly. She had already wasted enough days about this matter.
"You called me?" A voice suddenly said.
Not expecting to come it from behind her, she made a small jump.
"Yes, I did. Bring all the documents of the lost twins to my room. Also bring me the list of twins that are disappeared but never found back. Now!"
Yes, My Lady." The black butler bowed before walking away.

Hours later, Jayla was still sitting in her office, going through all the papers, writing down every detail she needed to know. The papers were covering her entire desk.
"I am done."
Jayla looked up, seeing Sebastian walk in with his tower of papers before he placed them carefully on a table.
"And?"
"As you predicted, My Lady, one name comes back at the very end of the line."
He handed over a small paper to her, one name written on it. She quickly grabbed it without really looking at him before she looked back at her own papers and findings. She was right …
"My Lady, may I ask something?"
Jayla gave a quick hum when she rechecked a few things to be certain.
"Are you never gonna look at me again?"
"What?" The girl lifted up her head, looking straight at the demon, who stood their with a sleek smile on his face, straight, to straight to be human.
"Excuze me? I have no idea…"
"Ow, but I am certain you do, My Lady." A grin decorated his face, before he suddenly stood behind Jayla's chair, his hand only a millimeter away from her face.
"Are you scared for what you would see?"
She turned her head, looking over her shoulder, yet she couldn't see his face.
"Or are you afraid of the truth?" His voice was purring in her ear, soft, seducing.
Yet this time it wouldn't work. She jumped up from her chair, turned around and slammed her hand on his face.
"How dare you?" Her own voice was rough, filled with a certain anger. Yet she didn't really knew which kind of anger. Anger for what he said? Or anger for the fact she indeed wouldn't accept the truth?
"You are bound to me, demon. You do what I say and for the rest I don't want to hear anything unless I say so. Am I clear?"
Her own brown green colored eyes were looking straight at him and he was staring back. His red eyes shining slightly with a dangerous glow. But she wouldn't be the first one to look away this time. She was the master of this house and he wouldn't not control her until the day their contract would end.
Eventually, he lowered his eyes, yet that smile didn't left his face and bowed as he usually did.
"Understood, My Lady."
