Hello everyone! Here with another chapter. In this one Freya will be taken to Reaver's mansion and introduced to his trusty butler. She will start seeing the true side of Reaver in this but only the surface. Also I will not be typing Barry's speech impediment because im lazy and it's just too much work XD so im sorry. I plan to have Barry involed in this story a good bit and I don't want to drain my energy trying to keep up with the way he talks. I figure it'd make it easier for you guys to read instead of possibly trying to figure out what he'd be saying. Otherwise I hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 2

A New Home

Freya sat in the carriage, glancing out at the scenery. Her mind was lost in her thoughts of the night prior. In result she didnt get much sleep and Reaver just sat there, watching her. In all honesty she couldn't believe the King let her off so easy. She was sure he was going to kill her. She was happy to be alive but she couldnt shake this feeling that something else was going on. When the King looked into her eyes she could see passed the dark persona behind his tired orbs. She could sense fear, frustration and panic. Something was going on.

" My dear if you keep brooding like that youre going to get wrinkles." Reaver said. Freya blinked and turned to face him.

"Forgive me, I was just...thinking." she sighed softly and laced her fingers together in her lap. " I...suppose I should thank you for saving my life."

Reaver grinned as he ran his fingers through his hair. " Oh I wouldn't thank me. My motive is a selfish one." he admited.

" Regardless, I am alive because of you. Thank you" she said as she looked at him.

"You're quite welcome." He grinned. " Tell me, you've never really left the castle have you?"

Freya thought for a moment before she answered. " Well, I've been to Brightwall a handful of times. I went to visit the Academy a few times before King Logan had it closed down."

Reaver raised a brow. " So you enjoy reading?"

Freya nodded with a smile. " I love it. It's such a wonderful escape when I want to relax and have some quiet time."

Reaver seemed to turn his nose up at the thought. " Quiet nights are such a bore. I prefer my nights filled with the symphony of pleasure and ecstasy. A nice wine with the smell of sex and the finest leather in the air."

Freya's face turned bright red. " Master Reaver.. I...uh.." she couldnt find the words. She had heard that Reaver enjoyed his women...and men. But she had no idea he was this...open about it.

" Does the topic make your nervous, my little rose?" He asked.

" I just wasnt expecting you to be so open about your private life." She replied. This made Reaver laugh.

" Oh my dear, you are not one for gossip are you?" he said. " Anyone and Everyone who wishes to indulge in life's grand pleasures always come to me. I am the god of sexual fantasies and love of all." He said with an arrogant smile. Freya just sat there now dumbfounded that he would claim such things. Sure she found him handsome and..well DID find him charming but now she wasn't sure being stuck with him was such a good thing.

" Ah, well it seems like you have quite the reputation. Forgive me for my ignorance. I usually keep focused on my work when I was at the castle." she said. Reaver only kept his smile.

" I have no doubt that you will be a wonderful asset to our little family." He carriage finally came to a halt as Reaver smiled and waited for the driver to open the door. He stepped out as the driver held his hand out for Freya's to help her out.

She stepped out of the carriage and looked around. Her eyes widened as she scanned the area. Before her was a beautiful mansion with marble stairs leading to beautifully carved double wooden doors. There was a statue of Reaver sitting among flowers that were well cared for. Further down there was a pier which led to the lake which flowed out towards mountains off in the distance.

"It's beautiful" She said.

Reaver looked back at her and then out towards the lake. " Oh, yes. I suppose. Shall we go inside my dear. It's been quite a journey I would like the comfort of my own bed." He said as he turned back to the mansion. Freya quickly followed him inside where they were greeted by who she assumed was his butler.

The man had a clean look about him. His red-orange hair styled neatly. His ginger locks caressing his scultped facial features. His freckles stood out in contrast to his pale skin. She also notice that his eyes were very unique. He had heterochromia! Two different colored eyes. One was blue and the other one appeared to be brown.

" Ah, Master Reaver. Welcome back." he said with a bow. Reaver walked right passed him and immediately began heading up the stairs which were placed in the center of the entrance hall.

" Yes, Barry be a dear and get our newest member set up. Give her some clothes and a room and make sure she knows the rules of the house." he said. Reaver disappeared before Barry could say anything more.

The butler sighed and turned to face Freya. He seemed to stop for a moment, taking in her features. " Well, I see Master Reaver has outdone himself again. Please follow me this way..miss..?"

"Freya" she said. She bowed and smiled gently. " Freya Audrin."

" Its a pleasure to meet such a beautiful woman. My name is Barry Hatch. I serve as Master Reaver's butler and keep everyone else in line." His comment sounding more like a threat than a warning.

" Ah, well I look forward to working with you. " she said. Barry smirked as he turned.

" As will I."

Barry showed Freya around the mansion before showing her to her room. Inside it was just as decorative as the castle was though there were a few unsettling paintings of Reaver hanging on the walls. She wasnt sure which one was more amusing; the painting of him with a unicorn or Reaver dressed in drag.

Freya chuckled a bit, covering her mouth as she followed Barry into the room.

" You have your bed and dresser as well as closet space, and you have your own wash room. Breakfast is at 7 and dinner at 6. I will speak with Master Reaver to see where he would like you placed for work. "

Freya nodded and bowed slightly. " Thank you Mr. Hatch for your kindness."

Barry seemed repulsed by the title. " Please, just call me Barry."

" Oh, alright. Well, thank you, Barry" she said again. Barry bowed back .

" You're welcome Freya, please. Enjoy your evening." He said before closing the door.

Freya sighed as she fell back on the bed. Her body just sinking into the covers as she sighed. " Well... things could be a lot worse."

Thank you everyone for reading. Sorry the chapters are so short. I'm hoping to make up for it by posting often so you wont hav to wait too long. Also I apologize if I keep typing you/your instead of her/she. I'm so used to roleplaying and typing in the perspective of the reader XD. I catch myself most of the time but i sometimes miss things. Thank you all so much for reading and I hope to get the next chapter up soon. 3
