Slave To The Darkness - Chapter 256

“Yes, please go ahead. We made a stop at the mall so all the things in the trunk need to be pout away. There is a red bag and that is blood chocolates.” Cedric walked through the front door and let out a sigh. “It is good to be home.”

Adam followed Cedric and looked around the place. “Do you call this a house or a mansion?” looking at the walls he sees that there is so much order and the place is well taken care of.

Thinking Cedric doesn’t answer right away. ‘There seems to have been a break in. The windows on the North side are broken.’ He walked towards his office and looked at the piles of letters. He picked up the first one and sighed again. “You can all this place whatever you want. I just think of it as home.” He tore open the letter.

Cedric,

It has been awhile since we have last spoken. I hear that you are calling all your vessels back to your place. It has been awhile since you have had to do that. What is happening to you, that you would have to call all the girls?”

The letter was left unsigned and was rather short. Cedric used magic and burned the letter. “What a pain in the a.s.s.”

Adam watched and saw the letter burning. “Everything okay?”

Sighing again Cedric looked at Adam. “Nosy f.u.c.kers. There is a lot of people that like to watch me closely. They do not think about what might be going on in my mind but worry about every little choice that I make. It is a royal pain in the a.s.s.”

“If I didn’t know what type of supernatural you were I would be confused but with who you are I think I can understand the concern but at the same time people need to mind their own business.” Adam sat down on the chair and let Cedric go through his mail.

Picking up the next one he tore it open. This one was different and was about the financial status of the component that his aunt was in charge of. ‘I definitely made the right choice with the female that I put in charge. She has created a thorough investigation and even gave me her input. I think that I will have to go through the more detailed package that I will request from her.’ He placed this one on the keyboard and picked up the third letter. He opens it and catches a whiff of blood.

I am warning you to stop and if you do not heed my warning I will kill the one that is important to you.

That was what was written in blood. Cedric started laughing and let the letter fall to the ground. “Foolish little mortal thinks that they can threaten me?”

Adam looked down at the letter and took a breath in. “That is written with blood. Any ideas on where it came from?”

“Plenty, this is from the human that is helping my aunt. That would be the only way that they would be so bold as to threaten Yuki.” Cedric uses magic and makes the letter float to Adam. “I want you to capture this one.”

“Consider it done. I have been feeling out the house. The windows are newly replaced and your staff are very much human.” Adam took the letter and started to let the fire magic consume the letter. As it was consumed he was able to see the person, and he smirked. “I have found him.”

“Yes, most of the people working here are human. I do not mind that they are human. Their families have been working with me for generations. They keep things in order and know what I need and when I need it.” Cedric’s eyes shine happily when he hears that Adam had already found the perpetrator. “Since you have already found him. I want you to get him tonight. Capture him and bring him in, and we shall place him in the dungeon.” Cedric takes the fourth letter and opens it. He skims through the contents. And it was begging him to finish the four translated books by Friday.

“You can consider it done. I will get it done right away. I will stay with you and find out where I need to bring people and in case you have anything else that you want me to do.” Adam smiled and looked at the location of the target. “Also, I respect your people. The fact that they stayed shows that you are a great boss.”

“You are quite right. I have been working with Cedric my entire life and I have never regretted it. I know that he would have an easier time if he had supernatural workers, but he stuck to humans. Master, I have made a choice. I would like to continue to serve you. I will become one of the missus’ people.” Royce bows, “also there was an incident with a team of supernaturals that broke in. I have them locked up in the dungeon.”

“I am glad that you have decided to stay with us. You have been most helpful. Is Abigail okay?” Cedric burns this letter and goes to the computer and boots it up.

“I am sorry, Sir. Abigail did not make it. I failed to protect her that way that she needed.” Royce bowed and stayed like that.

Yuki wandered into the room and looked at Royce. “Abigail died?” She looks at the people in the room confused. “We were only gone a week.” Her eyes darkened as she stepped into the room.

“I am sorry. There was a major break in on all floors, and I was downstairs while Abigail was upstairs. I was unable to get to her in time and the intruders shot at her. I did everything that I could to save her after I captured everyone, but it was no use.” Royce stayed bowing, and tears fell down his face.

Yuki looked at Royce and sighed. “That is very tragic. I was hoping that you both would choose to stay with us.” Yuki touched Royce’s neck, “but I did hear that you would join us. I have the means to turn you so after this week when all the guests come that is when I will change you.”
