Chapter 26
Penny looked up confused, her expression clear on her face where the vampiress caught to smile, "I know . I am as confused as you . That was my reaction when he said he bought a maid which was you . "
The words confused didn't even make for the current situation . Why would Damien buy her from the market if he disliked slaves?
"Actually hate won't even cover it . They basically disgust him," said Maggie, pulling out other little boxes before finally taking a kaleidoscope which was made of colors . She had seen them in the fairs which were set up yearly twice or thrice in the local villages, "Have you both met before?" the lady asked when she placed the little tube on her, turning to light so that she could enjoy the different patterns and colors that burst through the glasses .
"We haven't," answered Penny with a shake to her head . If they had she was sure she would have remembered him . With a personality like his, it was hard to forget .
"Is that so . Not everyone knows that he hates them, it's just that I am his elder sister that I know," the vampiress pulled the kaleidoscope away from her eye . She then suddenly shifted the conversation back, "The number of things that are in here, it's like memories that are saved from the past . nostalgic ones," humming to herself, Penny saw the lady blow air on the object before she started to observe it with a faint smile on her lips .
Penny wondered if that was the reason why the lady had asked her to accompany her up here in the attic so that she could find the reason for her brother's sudden change in attitude towards the maids . Remembering that the lady had asked her to speak freely, she took a deep breath to heard the vampiress say,
"You don't have to be scared of me, Penelope . I won't hurt you, not unless you do something bad to my family," Maggie assured Penny with the gentle smile on her lips . Penny's mind was nowhere to wanting to hurt the lady's family . All she wanted was to leave this mansion and go about her life where she could live amongst her own kind, who were the humans . The vampires scared her, and there was no saying when they would use her as a source of amusement to torture or kill . Having come across many tales, she didn't want to see the ugly side of this world which was waiting right outside her door .
Pulling out some courage into her nerves, Penny asked, "Milady, if you don't mind me asking, why does Master Damien hate slaves?"
"Hmm, I think it was because of what happened to one of his dear friends . One of his vampiress friends once used to have a slave . He was a pet boy . Barely fifteen I think," said Maggie, her voice soft on Penny's ears where they were surrounded by the silence of the attic, "The boy was loved and cared as her own child . I heard he was very loved but when the time came . . . the boy killed his mistress . But there are many other cases which led him to believe that slaves only try to get close to their master and mistress to free and backstab them . "
"I thought pureblooded vampires are immortals . "
Penny's words brought a delighted smile on Maggie's face, "Silly girl if it were so we would have nothing to worry of," how odd, thought Penny to herself, for vampires to worry about things and here she had thought their life was perfect . Maybe there were two sides to the story and sometimes a third one too, "We sure have longer years . Some of us crossing decades and more but there are times when a vampire, especially a pureblooded vampire cannot hold on to themselves . Have you heard about heart corruption?" asked the lady .
Pennys shook her head again . As she spent time with the Lady, she came to realize her ignorance about the night creatures . Right now it was as if she was being given knowledge about them and she gave her keen ear to hear what Lady Maggie had to say .
"A pureblooded vampire cannot be killed easily because you won't find the details of the pureblooded vampire bodies as you have for the witches and humans . There might be basic information but nothing more than that . Our pureblooded vampires, the ancestors I mean they never wanted to give out the information about us feeling that it would only lead to our kinds downfall . "
"Isn't that unfair?" asked Penny, "To know about others but not share the same about them?"
