Her Destiny

Ch. 15

I missed my uncle. At least with him I was oblivious and I could be the daft normal me. But here after learning everything about my past and my actual name which I don't intend to go by, Marcy is just fine by me, I have to learn how to be a queen and rule with a stubborn prick.

No matter how cute and charming he is, I will never love him or sleep with him. I wont give him a shot. My mind is made up. I plan on returning home tonight. To bad at the moment I have a breakfast to get ready for and a plan of deception to orchestrate.

Walking to a door that seems to go into a bathroom from my room, finding it unlocked but then seeing another door had me curious. Trying the other door and finding it locked. Does this bathroom lead to another room? A two bedroom connected by a bathroom. I only ever heard of bathroom like this on shows. Fancy. But creepy too.

Although it doesnt really matter as long as the door stays closed and locked im sure it'll be fine. So I hop in the shower expecting to use whatever bar of soap I found in there and someone elses hair soaps. But what i found was my own soaps from home. Japanese cherry blossom body wash, shampoo,conditioner all from my favorite place Bath And Body Works. When I was done I put on some jean shorts and a pink tank top. Then I found my body lotion and body spray of the same scent from home as well in a cupboard. It's almost like someone went back to my house and took these things from there. Whats new though is the toothbrush and toothpaste beside the sink. I even found vanilla deoderant in the cupbourd as well. Weird.

I put it out of my mind when I stare at the door belonging to the other room. I realize its locked but what if I used a hair pin and paperclip to unlock it. So I go searching in my room and found nothing. Then head to the bathroom and search the bathroom drawers thinking that whoever stored my female things in here must have put at least hair tyes or... Bingo! found a whole set of brand new black hair clips.

i twist and turn the hair pins into two lock picks, insert it into the doors lock, twist and turn and then hearing click. As it unlocked, it made me gasp in surprise. I haven't done that since my parents locked me in my room while they argued downstairs. Being grounded sucked.

But at least I always was able to get out with this little trick. I would listen in on there argument and when I heard them coming I would fast tip toe to my room. They always had to take a double look as they thought they locked the door. Must have made them think they were loosing there minds. Thinking of it now I was laughing.

Opening the door quietly and slowly expecting someone to be on the other side and I would be in big trouble. Not seeing anyone made me relax. But then i realized it was Taylors room that was next to the bathroom and in turn next to mine.

Damn, my relaxed state went into a panicked state. But I took deep breaths and decided it was my chance to snoop around for a couple secrets of blackmail I could hold over his head. Anything to get back home. I walked in and started my assault on his room trying to be sneaky like a ninja.

I went into the desk drawers by the bed and found a fantasy book about banshees. Huh ok so he must be trying to learn about me. I then went around the bed to the dresser and found plenty of boxers so I was pretty much done after the first drawer but something shiny caught my eyes. I moved the boxers out of the way and reached in to pull a sharp looking knife out of the drawer. To my surprise it had a Latin phrase to it. Too bad I don't know Latin. I put it back, wondering why he has a knife in his drawer.

My next spot was to the closet. There was clothes hanged without any room for any more. On the bottom was dress shoes and running shoes and casual wear shoes. So I decided there wasn't really anything to learn in this room. I was turning away when I looked up to see what was at top just because. And a black looking box with gold edges was up top on a shelf. Let's just say it piqued my interest. I stood on tippy toes but still couldn't reach it. I decided the knife could help me so I went back grabbed it and started working the box down.

"I'll see if she's done with her shower now and no I will not let you come with". I could hear Tayler coming down the hallway towards our rooms. So I closed the closet doors booked it to the bathroom and shut the bathroom door to his room as well.

I was out of breath when I returned to my room and him choosing to come in without asking if I was decent. But I controlled my breathing in record time as he waltzed in carrying the stupid leash and a fancy new pink gold studded collar with a name plate on it.

It reads as "Raven, Property of Taylor, The Demon Prince". Looking closer it had a print scanner on it. "How did you unlock this door?" Damn he found me out! And what's with the name on the stupid collar.

"I heard it click last night so I assumed you locked it. Why? Was it unlocked when you came in with the stupid slave leash? By the way, I'm gonna burn that leash sooner or later. Or shred it somehow. Then I could just sell the collar." I said bating him. Hoping he will take the bate and change the topic to something else.

"I see you're ready to go. Still witty and Stubborn I see." He holds out the leash and collar. "I've decided to get you a new collar". He fastens it around my neck. Using his finger print to lock it on. Then attaches the leash to it. He pulls me out the door and leads me down the hall towards the kitchen.

"Hello again dear." His father states. "I trust your sleep was well?" He was sitting at the head of the table with a plate of pancakes eggs bacon and sausage with a side of toast in front of him. The syrup on the side of his plate as well as salt and pepper shakers. He motioned for us to sit down and eat. Just now seeing the same thing on four other plates around the table. My curiosity was piqued again. But soon was diminishing as I watched a women my age and a women that looked older then her around the same age of the devil strolls in.

The older women took the seat at the other end, the tail end of the table. While the younger women took a seat across from where Taylor would be sitting and I took the seat next to him. There was only one seat left at this table .

Seeing me they both donned a warm smile with sharp teeth. It seems Taylor might not have the same genetics as his family..

"Hello, it's so nice to finally meet you. Taylor has been talking about a girl in his dreams or visions for awhile now. Even said she saved his life. Would this girl be you dear?" the older one askes. shes a pretty women with long black hair that went past her lower back. Her voice was like silk, she has a light complection and a gaze of light red eyes that are disarming. I could feel myself get lost in them as I answer almost in a dazed way. As if against my will..

"Yes. That would be me." I was roughly pulled up and out of my chair by Taylor.  My gaze was still focused on her eyes.

"Really Mother? I don't need you breaking her. That was uncalled for!" he still has my arm as he pulls me into the hallway. Standing in front of me snapping his fingers gets me out of my daze. "You good?"

" Yeah, just confused, what just happened?"  I think I was just forced to say some words. I look up at him. "Does she have some sort of power?"

"Yeah, it's called mind manipulation. It lets her veiw her targets and get confession and or secrets out of them. In truth it's a rather annoying thing. She does it to us all. Even me. I was little when she first did it to see if I stole candy from a candy store in the human realm when we had visited. The answer she knew already but wanted me to tell her anyways.

When I told her it was me she laughed and gave me a hug and said 'devils son you are'. I still haven't figured out my gift yet. But that day made me scared of her and I never did anything like that again. She scared me straight by being ok with something bad." He seems lost in thought as he tells this little story.

"Honestly thieving candy in the... what's the word you used... human realm? It isn't that bad at least you didn't rob them of there money or kill them in cold blood during the robbery. What you did was a teens thing to do heck even smaller kids do it. Yeah it's wrong but at least it's not murder." I was laughing so hard that my sides hurt. Scared straight he says. All I knew was I was going to have words with his mother.

I start walking back into the room to eat my food but he pulls me back and said. "We're skipping breakfast today. I'm going to show you my world. Be prepared for a surprise at the end."
