mad woman whose daughter you want.

Sebastian walked into his assigned home in the Palace with Lily following behind.

"Milord" a guard had greeted him immediately he entered and he nodded, escorting him into the mansion Sebastian resided, the others (guards) also greeted him.

"Milord, it's been long" a particular guard had said and Sebastian smiled.

"Gather by the training camp tomorrow, I shall come to meet you" Sebastian ordered and they all chorused a 'yes' bowing to him again.

Lily had earlier been escorted by a maid into the room where she did be staying, it was a huge room like that of the one she had been in when she first knew Jazmine, it had almost the same designs and Lily wondered why, the only visible difference was that the room she was in at that moment was slightly bigger and some furniture also differed.

"Please make yourself comfortable, I shall come to get you when dinner is ready" the maid said and Lily nodded as she watched the maid close the door with a soft click.

Climbing onto the big bed which bounced as it was soft and comfy, she let out a sigh, she didn't know where to start from nor how to gather her thoughts.

The reason or reasons why she had been the one to help him instead of another person from his own world or time still baffled her, he had destroyed her perfect plans of having a simple and quiet life.

'Little did she know.'

Another sigh escaped from her not so red lips wondering if her family had noticed that she was missing, then a small laugh escaped her lips.

'They did probably be happy she was not there' She thought, the truth was that she didn't completely have a happy home, her family... the people she called family were more of servants from the way they behaved, the were scared of her as if she was some monster or something.

She still remembered vividly how she had heard her parents arguing one midnight when she had snuck out to get snacks from the kitchen.

"When will she leave?, I can't stay like this again... in fear, she creeps me out, take that witch daughter of yours out of this home, I have no daughter like her" Her Mother had said to her father but her father seemed to be angry at the statement the mother had made, Lily wasn't sure at first if they were talking about her but she laughed at her thoughts, who was she kidding, she was the only avoided plague in the home.

"Hush, you stupid woman!, have you thought of the consequences of your words?, why face me instead?, Lily should keep living here till she is through with her education, its just a matter of time" Her father had said and Lily could only cry silently.

She had kept hearing words of her parents on a daily basis that even when she was locked in her room, she still heard what they said, she had finally believed she had gone mad.

"I shall help him the little I can till I escape, once I am able to leave this place, I shall run away from the home of my parents too" Lily had muttered to herself as she moved to sleep on her side, her rare Auburn iris looking at nothing in particular as she silently organized her thoughts at that moment, there was a sense of Deva ju.

She soon closed her eyes, her breaths turning steady.

Sebastian who was in his room, soon smiled as if he sensed something.

Picking up the letter that was placed on his table, he tore the envelope open and read through the letter.

With a smile, he threw the letter back on the table carelessly.

"Welcome back" was what was written in the letter, a not so rare red coloured ink used and then his brother's signature.

'He is a fast one' he thought to himself as he walked into the bathroom to get the day's sweat off his body.

The touch lit the whole library which was huge, walking into the library, Sebastian's elegant fingers ran through the books on the shelf in a particular section.

"Do you plan on watching me for that long?" Sebastian's cool voice asked and an echo of joyful laughter followed.

"Miss me?" A blonde tall handsome built man who looked around the untold age of Sebastian walked out as his polished shoe clicked the floor, his hands were tucked in his pants pocket.

Sebastian stayed silent to his question and the man laughed.

"Thought you were killed or something but then I saw you here, was planning on attacking you" The man said with a smile and the corners of Sebastian's lip curled up.

"You have a death wish?" Sebastian asked and the man smiled.

"Such glowing skin you have got, did you perherps visit the mad woman's place when you returned? tsk tsk tsk, what a cruel man you are" The man clicked his tounge as he asked,walking behind Sebastian who was walking out of the library with a book in his hand.

"The mad woman's daughter is the one you are trying to pursue" Sebastian reminded and the man laughed.

"I need silence, be sure to tell the woman to send someone tonight, I am thirsty" Sebastian said and the man could see his (Sebastian's) fangs showing slightly.

"Who is she?" The man asked.

"Who is who?" His question being replied with another.

"I thought she was some thing to quench your thirst" The man asked.

"Out Arthur" Sebastian commanded with his cool voice.

"I shall find out who she is" the man called Arthur said with a smile and Sebastian coldly glanced at him.

"Do whatever you please." He said and Arthur left him alone teleporting to God knows where.
