Magnus POV:
"So here we are" Arram said stopping the car "And here comes Joseph". Looking out the window I saw a man in a freshly pressed suit walk out of the house, his hair slicked back with hair gel.
"He looks...." I drifted off and Arram raised his eyebrows at me.
"Professional?" Arram asked and I nodded uncertainty, the last time I'd been placed with a professional looking person; it had ended in disaster "Don't judge him too soon alright? Now let's get your stuff". I pushed my car door open and got out. Upon the house porch, Joseph's eyes scanned me over and I tensed up, even from a distance I was getting bad vibes from the guy.
"Welcome!" Joseph called down to us "Do you need any help with bags?".
"Nah We're good" Arram called back "Eh Magnus?" I nodded and grabbed my mother's suitcase
It was one of the only remaining things I had to remember her by so I treasured it most out of all my stuff. With all my bags out of the car boot, we made our way to the house where we were invited inside. I felt my mouth drop open in surprise when we walked into the lobby. There was probably more then one million worth of us in the lobby alone, I couldn't help but think the rest of the house was the same."Impressed?" Arram asked smirking at my expression and I jammed my jaw closed, a slight blush covering my face.
"Nice to see you again, Arram" Joseph smiled "This must be Magnus" I nodded and continued to look around.
"Nice to meet you sir" I mumbled and Arram glared at my rudeness but right now I was too overwhelmed to care about manners.
"I'm so sorry" Arram apologized "He's not normally this rude".
"That's fine" Joseph shrugged "He's still getting used to things here but I'm sure he'll fit right in just fine".
"Ok well I just need your signature and to discuss some arrangements, then I'll be on my way" Arram said turning to Joseph, Joseph nodded and gestured towards the kitchen.
"Okay" Joseph agreed "While we talk, I'll get my maid to take you your room so you can start unpacking alright Magnus?" I nodded and Joseph entered the kitchen, Arram following closely behind.
"Excuse me sir?" Came a timid voice to my left, looking beside me I saw a young girl that looked to be only about ten years old "I'll show you to your room".
"Okay" I nodded and bent down to grab my mother's suitcase and my other two bags when the little girl let out a yelp of panic.
"NO!" she cried and I gave her a mixed look of confusion and concern "Master said I must bring bags up. If I don't he said I'll get whipped or even worse he'd..." She broke off with a horrifed look on her face and looked towards the closed kitchen door, shaking sightly.
"Alright you can take them up" I told her gently and she gave me a look of relief "I just want to take the suitcase, it belonged to my mother so it's very important to me. Is that alright?". She looked towards the kitchen door once more before nodding at me.
"Master should be fine with that" she told me and picked up my bags "Please follow me" We made our way up a set of carpeted stairs into a long hallway, old paintings lining the walls.
"Wow, Joseph really does like old things doesn't he?" I asked and the maid nodded "Is there anything modern in this place or is it just all old stuff?".
"Master prefers older items" the maid informed me "He says modern stuff Is too unreliable".
"Ah, Okay" I said looking at all the pictures "He has a lot of rooms I see" she let out a small nod before coming to a stop in front of a wood door that looked identical to every other in the long hallway.
"This is your room" She told me unlocking the door with a key from her pocket and pushing the door open "You may enter sir".
"Please call me Magnus, being called sir makes me feel..." I broke off as I entered my new bedroom. The walls and carpet was a dull grey, as was the bed sheets. The walls were bare and the only furniture in the room was a dresser, a bedside table and a large four-poster bed "I'm guessing Joseph doesn't like much colour".
"He says putting a boy in a colourful room encourages homosexuality" the little girl told me and I winced "He hates gay people, says their a spawn of Satan".
"But I'm gay...." I said slowly "Well, bisexual but it doesn't make much of a difference" The maid girl gave me a curious look "I thought he'd know about my sexuality".
"What does Bisexual mean?" She asked placing my bags down on the ground "I've heard the word before but master wouldn't tell me what it means".
"Bisexual means that you like both girls and boys" I told her, kneeling in front of her, she looked up at me with egger and wide eyes as if waiting for me to go on.
"But how can you like both genders?" She asked "Is it the same way a male likes a male?" I nodded and her face lit up.
"Love is love no matter who it is, darling" I said and she smiled at me "And you can't help who you love. Sometimes two males will love each other but they can't change that, they were born that way"
"But master says you burn in hell if you like someone of the same gender" She cried, her smile falling into a frown "You're not going to burn in hell are you? I don't want you to, you're actually nice to me".
"Why wouldn't I be nice to you, darling?" I asked gently.
"Because master says I'm a waste of space and that I'm lucky I'm not on the street" she replied, a small tear sliding down her face "He says I'm going to end up like a whore like my mother".
"That's not true" I said wiping the tear away "where's you mother now, darling?".
"She's dead" the maid replied bluntly "She died when I was three years old, I haven't had a friend since then".
"Well now you do" I smiled and she looked up at me with wide eyes "What's your name, sweetheart?".
"Maddie" she grinned.
"Well Maddie, you just made a new friend".
