Replanting A Rose Seed

When Butler Luke took the girl from the car and handed her to the maid. The maid was shocked the girl was in poor condition and poor health. She felt bad for the little girl. "Come little one you need a bath." The little girl started to cry in hasteria. "No please I'll be good I don't need a bath I'll be good. Don't take me in a lake or river." Cried the little girl. The maid could not console the child let alone get the girl in the shower.

The maid tried to calm the little girl but it did not work.

On the other side of the castle Drake was talking with the Ora about why this girl meant to much to him. "Let me see. Yes I see know. This child is ment to be your wife at the age of 20, she will marry you." Said the Ora who was now going on and on about why. "I've heard enof Ora leave now." Drake said as his butler took the women out of the room. Ora were used in the Black Rose Kingdom as fortunate tellers for the high pure blood vampires. They were given as gifts to the vampire at their 17 birthday day.

Well that explains a lot he thought to him self. Drake was trying to think when he hear a cry and then a slap from down the hall. He had very good hearing for he was from the Kings blood line. But he did not know what room it was. Then it hit him the child. He flinted to her door. Something was not right. Breaking the door down he saw the maid with the little girl yelling at her to get in the shower. The poor child was on the floor crawling away from the maid. Drake leaned up aft the broken door. "Ms. Mall did I not say to not touch the child!" Drake said picking the women up by her neck.

Thank god the child passed out from a panic attack. He did not want her to him this way. "When I say something it is law. Luke take this maid to the tower I'll deal with her later!" Like was at Drakes side in a matter of seconds. "But Sir, what about the child?" Drake looked at the little girl laying on the bathroom floor. "I'll do it my self, she is only a child after all. Plus she is passed out makes it easier to bath her so what needs to be done." He said picking up the poor child off the title floor and caring her into the shower.

She need a shower and a bath, new clothes, an education, children to play with. He was going to need a nanny. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks all the thing he need for this child to grow up into a lady. But first he need to find out who her father was. She smelt like a halfling. Neither human nor vampire. They were rare for the king band matting with humans two hundred years ago and all the halfling were turned when they were 16 for girl 17 for boys. But if she was a half long that would explain a lot on how her family treated her. She said she was locked in a closet and feed only cups of water or red juice.

Now that she was clean he could get a better look at her in the morning. It was late and he was tired. He layed the little child on her bed and went to his room to sleep. Maybe a new day would help clear his head.

It had been two days since the little child had entered his home and for two days she did not wake. The doctor had said she was malnourished and sick with bronchitis. It made him sick to think that the child's mother could do such a thing to her own child. First she abuse and starved her, then she sold her. Drake ran his hand through his hair in irritation.

He was sitting on the little girls bed when she stirred. She had red hair and green eyes which mant she was of vampirien descent. Only humans who had red hair and green eye had vampire ansectors. But humans do not and will not ever know this. The king has made sure of this since the war with human and vampires almost 50 years ago. When she first came she was dirty and barely was clothes in the cold weather. Now that she was clean and was healing Heath wise. She needed to heal mentally. Which meant having a human giving her srink advice. But she was so young.

"Where Am I!" She woke up finally. Drake did not know what to do. This was frustrating, she was scared and look thin. "Your safe, no one is going to hurt you now or ever again. You are in the Rose Castle and are my guest here. You are not a slave for you do not have the slave mark. Calm down and breath. Your safe and protected, as well as loved. You are loved." When Drake said those last three words the young child started to cry.

"I am not loved! For if I was loved I would not have been sold!" Yelled the young child. So that was it her mother tricked her in to thinking that love was hurt and pain. She must have said those words you are loved to the poor child as she was being sold. He had to find more information on her life before he took her in. But first a name he could not call her by the name she was given. Why not something more lady like. Sophia sounded like a good name to him and it fit her quit well.

"Look at me child you are safe and well I will have someone take care of you form here on out ok. No one will harm you again." He said as she calmed down. Sophia layed back down. He had too get thing ready for her. "I'll be back and you will have a new mother here in an hour all right. One that will take care of you properly." Drake told the girl who's eyes light up like fire works.

Drake left the room and called all the servants to the common hall. He had to find a suitable mother for Sophia. Not any one would do. He also had to find a toutor and play mates. He rubbed his fingers on his temples this was lots of work. "As you all know I brought a child into this castle not more than two days ago. And one of ur coworkers had the audacity to slap that child. "Luke." As soon as Drake called his name the butler was at his side.

"I want you to find out everything about her past family and find a toutor for her as well as a shrink. And bring Ms.Marshel up from-the kitchen and to my office once your done with those earns. And please bring the best and not the worst. Or it will be your head understand Luke."

"Yes Sir.", and Luke was gone. "Now for the rest of you. If you even hit or speak to the child in a way to frighten her it's ur heads as well. She is my guest and is going to be living here from here on. No one is to make her cry or even look at her. Is this understood?"Deake wait to here a unison yes from every. He clapped his hand and they all skampered back to the holes the came from.

Now he had to Tell MS.Marchel she was now the child's new mother. Ms.Marshel as always told Count Drake she as wanted a child of her own as long as he can remember. But seeing as she was only half vampire and could not have kids by order of the king it was a dream lost to her. Ms.Marshel was to old to be changed into a full vampire when the law was placed but this child is still young and might be the only one of her kind left. If others found out about her eye and hair color she's be in danger. It was word that he did not see it before with her having green emerald eyes. But at the time Drake was so theirty he had his mind on food not the girl.

"You wanted to see me Count Drake." Ms.Marshel replayed stepping into his office. She was a simple lady with Red hair and green eyes. As well as a round face that suit her quit well. She was neither fat nor sick but in between. "Yes, there is a little girl here that will be living her from now on. Her name is Shopia. Call her Shopi for short. She is the child mentally to be my wife. She is probably the last half vampire child alive. She is to be ur child now. Please take care of her as such, she has been through sloth and she is only ten.
