Chapter 229
With Damien who left the hall to go back to his room, Lady Fleurance ran to her daughter's side . Maggie followed her step-mother's steps, going to stand next to the chair as her younger sister stared at the empty space ahead of her . She sat there with a blank expression, her upper jaw bleeding with trickles of blood that fell down from her lips to trail down to her neck and her clothes . Lady Fleurance picked the fangs that were covered in blood, speaking to her daughter,
"Gracie?" her voice was soft and gentle . Taking the ropes that were tied around her hands to the armrest . When Maggie tried to help, stepping close with her hands raised, "Stop!" came the sharp voice of her step-mother, "Don't even think of touching her . Your brother and you framed this, didn't you? Always treating us like outsiders . Stay away from her . "
"Mother-"
"STOP! Grace doesn't need your help . Leave us," Lady Fleurance looked away from Maggie not wanting to her face or anyone's right now . Her daughter looked wrecked and broken as if she would never be herself from now .
"I apologize for what has happened," Maggie bowed her head for a second and then walking back to her room .
Lady Fleurance picked up her daughter from the chair, taking her by her arm, she helped her back to her room, "You don't have to worry about what happened . There's the council doctor who has experience in these things and he will fix back a new pair in no time," but Grace didn't react or say a word .
With them who lived in the high society of the pureblooded vampires, fangs were the most important weapon that defined them as who they were . It was a matter of pride to have them and without it they were nothing .
"Here drink this," said the lady bringing a glass of water to her daughter who took it without any complaint . That night a lot of them didn't fall asleep .
Penny dreamed over what happened . The slaps and the kick on her back . The way the vampiress had pulled her, dragging her like she were a low dog towards the black market . But that didn't stop there, the girl had continued to take her to a place until she was back on the platform of where the bidding took place .
Her breathing turned quick in her sleep that had Damien's eyes snapping open to see the change in the intake of her breath . Bad dreams, thought Damien to himself . Moving closer to her, he leaned forward to have his lips placed near her ears,
"You are safe," he whispered the words in her ears, "Don't fear anything . You have nothing to lose and if something happens, I will be there . You are safe right now, Penny . Safe," he said to her softly without waking her up .
