I spent the night that day in Daniel's room. He was practically gone all day and I was left in this big room alone. I sighed and thought about something, I wonder what happened to the girl named shane. Just like me they stuck her in that dungeon, I wonder if I can ask Daniel about her when he gets back... but when will he be? I got up out of the bed and sighed what do I do now... just stand here?

I walked over to the door and peeked out of it a little. the lavish walls greet me with no one insight. exploring is more than likely out of the question considering the fact that I'm around death. I only closed the door and walked over to the couch, sitting in thought. I feel like if all this was told to me before, my life would have been better taken. Now I wonder if the story mother told me about father was true ...

" Are you still here alone?" I looked over to the door to see Jasper staring at me with a blank expression on his face. "Are you hungry? Thirsty?"

" Yeah .. I just woke up not to long ago so I don't know if he came back or not."

he nodded quietly and walked over to the wall pressing a button. " A maid should be here soon, tell here what you want and ask her for some clothes, you'll be having dinner with the family soon. "

"...oh." I remembered all the bad things I've heard about their father. I guess he sensed my anxiety and broke the silence.

" You wont be alone, the girl from the cellur will be there as well. Just behave accordingly... my father won't harm you no time soon."

No time soon? I looked at him with a puzzled expression, I didn't hear that wrong right?
My anxiety only came back, I can only guess this is why Alex didn't want me here.
Jasper only smiled a bit with a slight gleam in his eye. 
" It seems Daniel was right... easily suede by thoughts and emotion, so young and naive."

His words cut like a knife in his low monotoned voice. The hints of sarcasm mixed with curiosity came from him.
He let out a small chuckle and walked out leaving the door open for the maid to follow in after him.

After finishing my meal, I was greeted with a dress that caught the eye in more ways than one. Cleavage all out, low cut back dress with a long slit, and complimentary heels to make me feel less at ease...

" What am I doing with my life..." I sighed and changed into the scandalous clothing while sulking.

" Are you dressed?" I heard a small knock at the door and realized there stood a girl maybe around my age, wearing similar scandalous attire making me feel less conscious.
" Sorry for making you wait Robin, I am Alora... Jasper and Daniel's older sister."

" Hey..." I said quietly. She smiled as if to sense the situation and came closer to me.

" I'm sorry that this had to go down like this, I know its hard but please follow me to the dinning room."

She took my hand in hers and started to lead the way. I chuckled a bit feeling a bit more at ease grasping her warm hands.
She led me to a room filled with items that were extremely pricey. At the end of the table sat an older looking man, who had a familiar face standing next to him. 
" Gin..." I said in a low voice to the point where it was inaudible. 

My eyes trailed over to both Daniel and Jasper. They were looking at me intently, Daniel's face showed more of a smirk while Jasper's face showed interest in the glass  green eyes that hid behind his glasses.

" Welcome." The elder man said with a grimacing face.
" Please take a seat hybrid child."
I sat down in the only seat left.
" I'm a rather busy man,and also straight to the point. Young hybrid, I am certain you've met the angels and the demons but, I'm sure they are nothing that you expected them to be."

I nodded my head in agreement trying to access the tight situation I was in.

"This dinner for me shall be rather quick, since I have other matters to attend to. Unlike the others who probably contracted you to their sons, your contract will be with me."

My face disconnected with reality, there was no telling  how my face looked in that instant.
Depending on the contract is really the problem.

" power is all I seek Nephalem, your hand is not important to me. Simply put i dont care what you do outside the contract. Your life is your own."

My tense aura loosened. That sounds rather simple. I would still be able to live my life the way I pleased.
I looked over to Daniel , who wore a blank expression on his face. I can't really tell what he's  thinking and he would know his father the best.
I sighed softly under my breath and straightened out my back. 
" I see... so this contract will be shown to me this following week as well..."

He nodded his head and wiped his mouth with the napkin delicately.
"Precisely."
He stood up slowly and motioned for Gin to follow him.
"I'll see you again soon Nephalem."
 
I watched as his back exited the room, and the now quiet room was broken with Daniel's low voice.
" I call bullshit."
