Chapter thirty seven

Benjamin is brought to the mansion by Lizzy and Jake.

When they entered inside, they saw all the servants and guards dancing in circle. Some of the servants don't have human bodies. Some have two heads. Some, when you look at them, they look like their face was disfigured, but that is how they really looked like. Some look like humans, but their legs are like any animal. Then some look human fully.

When Lizzy went closer to take a look, she saw Celina in the middle, dancing. Lizzy smiled. Benjamin just stared at them, smiling. Just then, he's stomach growled. Jake turned to him, then smiled...

" let's go " Jake led Benjamin to the dining table, then he entered the kitchen to get some food.

Celina came out of the circle, then went to Lizzy.

" my lady " Lizzy bowed.

" drop the formalities " Celina said, as she was breathing fast, exhausted by the dance. She turned her head to the direction of the dining room, then turned back to Lizzy...

" who's the man? " Celina asked.

" that is Benjamin...." Lizzy started telling Celina the whole story. Celina was just nodding her head.

As soon as Benjamin was done eating, they stood up, then left the dining. On their way to the servants quarter, they met Lizzy and Celina...

" nice to meet to, Benjamin " Celina said, as she stretched her hand for a hand shake. Benjamin just stood, and was staring at it.

" hey, don't you know how to do an hand shake? " Jake whispered to Benjamin's ear. Benjamin then shakes her, and at the same time, was staring at her.

While Benjamin was inside his room, he started thinking of Celina...

" no, she married " he stopped himself from thinking of her. But he still kept on thinking of her.

" what is wrong with me? " he asked himself. Benjamin started feeling restless, how could he stay here if he's thinking about his bosses wife like that.

The next day while Benjamin was cleaning the living room, Celina ran down stairs, laughing. Benjamin didn't even know when he started smiling. Just then, before Celina's leg could reach the ground, Devon appeard there, and carried her in a bridal style. The smile on Benjamin's face went away.

" hey, Benji " Celina waved at him. Devon turned to him...

" oh, hey Benjamin " Devon said with a smile, before he disappeared with Celina on he's arm.

" Benji " benjamin smiled as he called the name.

" Benjamin " Benjamin called with a very masculine voice, he was imitating Devon.Then he continued his cleaning.

Some hours later, Benjamin went to the back yard. The sight there was really beautiful.

" only yesterday I arrived here, I'm already in love with the lady of the house. Well it was love at first sight " Benjamin smiled to himself.

" and that Devon. I need to get him out of the picture..."

" instead, I should have Devon and you have Celina " a female voice from behind said. Benjamin turned and saw a beautiful young girl like about Celina's age.

" who are you? " Benjamin asked.

" I'm the one an only Abyzou " she replied.

In the myth and folklore of the Near East and Europe, Abyzou is the name of a female demon. Abyzou was blamed for miscarriages and infant mortality and was said to be motivated by envy (Greek: φθόνος phthonos), as she herself was infertile. In the Jewish tradition she is identified with Lilith, in Coptic Egypt with Alabasandria, and in Byzantine culture with Gylou, but in various texts surviving from the syncretic magical practice of antiquity and the early medieval era she is said to have many or virtually innumerable names.

" why do you want to help me? " Benjamin asked.

" I'm a demon. I make women lose their baby because I'm infertile. I've lived for many years. And in all those years, I've been in love with Devon. I can't have children, but I can be in love. I want Devon, and you want Celina. You're a human, you are not strong enough deal with a demon. But I am. So let's work together " Abyzou explained.

" I can be very useful. Just like you, they think that I'm a weak human. But the truth is that I'm not " Benjamin said with an evil smile. Abyzou smiled as well...

" I like you, already " Abyzou said with a smile.
