Someone not being scared of death. He himself knew what he was and still feared death. How much more her who was so ordinary. Or so he thought.
"You died in my dreams". He stated to notice his masters hands pause. But she continued what she was doing. Turning to him she held the water in her hand and raised it for him to take.
" Water". She asked him for him to nod and reach out for it. Holding onto her hand he felt a strange shock pass through his veins. He was shocked, looking at her he saw her almost shocked face where she covered it and quickly pulled her hand away.
"I died in your dream right". She said without any emotions. Her eyes we're looking at something else, her eyes staring at the night sky a little dazed.
" Yes". He responded for her to turn and look at him.
"Lady Allison". He thought she would be mad about her not saying what he has been asked to say.
" Then in your dream,..... did you notice anything else"
Legolas turned away and thought for sometime, he really didn't notice anything else unless....
He looked at Allison shock written all over his face.
Allison smirked.
"You should sleep you must be tired". She said.
Legolas was still in lost thought. Lady Allison was dead in his dream but for some reason. There was a very visible tear running down her cheek.
Legolas was in thought not realizing Allison had already walked over to the door.
" It's night you should rest. It's not morning yet for me to ask you to take a walk"
She held onto the door. "Rest". She exited the room without turning back.
His master was very strange. She wasn't scared at all though he had told her she died. Most lady's wouldn't even be able to breathe hearing this. He might have even been beheaded by now for wishing evil to his master, but she was so relaxed and her too relaxed vibe stirred something inside of him.
It's like she was used to having the same kind of experience.
Now he couldn't sleep with all this thoughts running through his mind. Who would?.

Standing on the field in the Macbeth mansion. She looked at the night sky. It was dark, she could only see the stars which stood next to the moon. Taking in a deep breath to relax the Phoenix which was resting in peace inside of her.
She knew what was coming for her. Even if it wasn't any time soon, she could feel it coming. But no matter what, she wouldn't let anyone take it away from her. The creature residing inside of her chose her for a reason. When she was born she knew very well. Something must have happened, and the Phoenix explained to her in her dreams.
It never came out before but only surface in her dreams. Even though she wanted to see it, not being forced out. She wanted to see it in its full glory, in peace and it's elegance and graciousness.
A heavy sigh escaped her lips as she made her way back into the mansion.

The next day there was a knock on the door as Allison was preparing. She looked at the door and at the sleeping Legolas.
Walking over to the door she opened it to find the butler standing there. Seeing it was his Lady he bowed with deep respect.
"My Lady your father have arrived". Allison looked at the butler surprised.
" My father ". She turned to look at Legolas who was still sleeping.
Turning to the butler she said.
" Let's go ". She closed the door and followed the butler out. Legolas who laid on the bed, opened his grey eyes to be greeted by the bright sunlight which hit the room. Making his eyes look somewhat misty.
Taking in the sudden brightness he squinted his eyes to adjust to the brightness, when his eyes had finally taken in the brightness he slowly stood up and sat down on the bed.
__________
"Father, you're back". Allison said with a smile plastered across her beautiful face.
Master Macbeth smiled seeing his daughters bright face this morning.
Allison was loved by her parents especially her father Durham Macbeth.
He always doted on her. This was something that everyone in the society knew of.
"Come have you had breakfast yet". Allison nodded. She just woke up and got dressed, Legolas haven't woken up yet still... That's right Legolas.
She suddenly Turner's to her father.
" Father I have a surprise for you, go freshen up I have someone to show you"
She said to her father for him to nod and turn away. Walking up the stairs he had a strange feeling. It was not something he usually felt. Strange.
Despite he always felt a different energy when he was around his daughter and he understood where the energy came from but now it wasn't even relating to his daughter.
__________
" Belvedere, go upstairs and wake legolas up he's slept enough, I guess"
"Should I call him down stairs my lady". Belvedere asked confused about her order.
Allison turned to look at him with a straight face. She nodded.
The butler turned with respect and walked straight to the stairs.
Allison turning to the side to find some maids looking at her. She frowned.
" Am I such a work of art that you've forgotten your work". Her words were directed at them and extremely cold as her face showed no emotion.
The maids immediately scrambled to the sides as they made their way away from there. Allison stared at their departing figure. She raised her brows and said to the head maid.
"Make sure you give those girls enough work that I don't have to see their faces for another month". Her words were very straight. Allison didn't like it when people slaked in their work and now these was going to happen in her home?...
Breakfast was served, Allison looked at the meal in front of her and was satisfied. Raising her head she caught a glimpse of legolas who stared at her, Allison completely embarrassing him caught him in the act. He quickly turned his head away causing Allison to raise an eye brow and smirk looking to the door, she saw her father walking in.
Standing up to greet him they left kisses in the air. Legolas stared at the father and daughter duo, their aura of elegance making them look very similar, legolas guessed if she has gotten her character from her father as he suddenly shot him a glare causing him to chock in his breathing.
"Who is this? ". Her father asked in a deep voice.
He had already heard news that his daughter had bought a slave, such things could not be hidden especially with the ridiculous amount she had purchased him for. Eight thousand gold coins, was he worth it?. Even him as an older person has never spent such an amount in a split of seconds.
Allison smiled. Reaching out for a fish on the other side of the table she said.
" Father meet legolas, he will be staying with us from today onwards".
Placing the large piece of fish on her father's plate she cut a few pieces spreading them for him.
While legolas stared at her with question. Well, that was it nothing else.
He really didn't expect her to actually say anything much but that was all. He knew very well she must have gotten people to investigate him but why didn't she tell her father anything.
He was lost in thought while his gaze was fixed on her not realizing she was looking straight at him.
After his thoughts had faded, he was greeted with a pair of blue crystal eyes which stared at his soul. This was the second time she had caught him staring at her today, he felt ashamed.
"Why aren't you eating". She asked causing Mr Macbeth to look at legolas strangely. A slave had a choice to eat or not?.
He didn't look up but ignored his daughters conversation with the slave boy only for his ears to suddenly bleed when he heard....
" Don't you like the food ". Mr Macbeth paused his hand movements as well as chewing his food which Allison picked on, but she ignored him and looked at legolas attentively.
Even a slave has the choice to like a food or not?.....
He looked at his daughter as if asking her. Are you sure I raised you?....
He had groomed Allison making sure she could stand out among any other woman or man in the society. He made sure she had an aura that anyone would succumb to but now she was asking a slave if he liked the food.
He looked back at his food. Was he really going to have this meal with a slave boy.
As the thought rested in his mind he suddenly frowned.
"Since the boy doesn't like the food served on our table he shouldn't eat at all". He stated, facing Allison with a serious gaze. Every action spoke.
I hope I didn't groom you all this year's for nothing!.
Her father never shouted at her only on rare occasions which was very rare, but his eyes would always speak and for some reasons she understood but now she completely ignored him.
"Belvedere, get legolas something different I think he doesn't like fish".
She said this and was expecting a loud rumble from her father but nothing came. As if she purposely wanted to provoke him she asked.
" Legolas what is your favorite dish".
Mr Macbeth looked at his daughter with a stern expression. He had held in his anger for long not that he wasn't angry from the start sitting on the same table with a slave boy, but what was this now.
What is your favorite dish?. As he repeated those words in his head he concluded.
You mock me.
"It's enough that you're letting him eat at the same table with us and now what is this!!! "
"You're asking for his favorite dish". Rage filled his blood but he tried his best to calm down his angry nerves. She had gotten her short temper from him, that's why he was never surprised if she killed one or two in a day.
As expected, Allison knew her father more than anyone else, she just smirked.
Oh daddy, are you always this easy to provoke.
