When the sun had neared its rotation, a figure stirred. He could feel the night, the extra strength the harsh sun sapped returning to him. One could call him a night owl, but had you a mind when you met him- you would say monster. While of a decent health and charms,
Averen left his sheets in a sluggish rise; slumping over and popping his stiff of sleep back.
No, he was not a vampire... not remotely close. Those beasts were fiction, creatures made up by humans; what might have happened was a Demon got a victim and drained them for dinner. Mana and energy for living as long as one may.
Not that anyone around living would know this.... those that tried to swindle him or upset him got the raw end of his teeth.
His home was a modest sized double story town house- he didn't need much, he didn't take a family. Just a servant.
Now while he had ordered her through a good service, the act of obtaining her was questionable.
Technically he only ordered help, for attending to the day aspect of business. What they gave him was a child, pulled away from her home overseas and roughly handled. Luckily, she had not been violated; wounds healed- body manhandling never went away.
When she first got here, the woman was blindfolded and sat down on the couch. She had full reign; to leave or to stay in his employment. But the one rule she always must follow was never go in the lowest basement wing. To that he untied the blindfold and left the room. Averen never really saw her in his own waking hours, maybe once or twice when she was up late and finishing off her evening chores.
No, she must not know what he was and she must not attempt to try. This demon torture his victims with fear and on occasion, harm. He would not wish that on the girl that had stayed despite her rough induction to his home.
