An Inconvenient Attachment

Chapter 4 Im Sorry

10 Years of Eira Living at the mansion

Eira's POV

"Nan! How does this one look?", I asked holding my colorful drawing up.

"Honey, it looks perfect just like the last 10 you've drawn...", Nan spoked glancing at the crumbled up drawings behind me.

"Yeah well if anyone told me Nolan has been here for the past 5 days, I wouldn't be procrastinating my present for him right now". I had found out Nolan's has been home for a while without no one announcing it and it was annoying because I haven't seen him since I was 5. I heard he slips in and out without announcing his arrival anymore. I just wanted to see him again.

"I guess your new homeschool teacher has been doing a wonderful job teaching you such big words", Nan spoke proudly. "Anyways, why didn't you make something easier like cookies for master Nolan".

I shook my head looking down sadly. Last time I baked him cookies he left the next day. No cookies this time.

"Anyways this is the one! I'm going to find him now!", I exclaimed excitedly as I stood up from the messy floor.

"Eira, what have I told you, Nolan is a very busy man and cannot be bothered whenever yo-", before she could finish, I dashed out not wanting to hear her scolding.

I ran the hallways knowing every inch of this mansion. I waved everyone I passed by not forgetting my manners. I got to Nolan's special side of the mansion. It's where his bedroom, office and anything else necessary to him was located.

I slowly walked towards his door and stood in front of it. I was nervous about seeing him again. I hope he likes my drawing.

I inched forward placing my small white hand on the door. I knocked quietly and took a step back hiding my drawing behind me. A few seconds passed by and I knocked again but this time harder. Still no answer. Could of he went somewhere?

A warm light caught my attention at the corner of my eye. I turned around and notice it was coming from his office. He was probably working in his office then. I sneaked further down the hallway making my way towards the door.

I leaned against the cold brown wall as I got to his office. The door was slightly open allowing me to get a glimpse inside. I'll scare him and make him laugh with my monster noises.

I leaned in looking through. Nolan was facing the wall covering someone. I was confused at his actions until he slightly moved sideways, exposing a girl. Nolan was bitting her neck and blood ran down her white shirt.

Nolan then stepped back dropping the girl towards the ground. I squeaked dropping my drawing. Nolan must have heard and turned around to me. His eyes were bright red while his lips were dirty with blood.

I ran away feeling scared. I cried trying to make my way towards Nan. I was so scared I wanted to see her. I need to tell her he just killed a girl by bitting her.

I could feel him behind me. I knew it was him. That's when I spotted Dave, the gardener. I pushed my little legs to run faster reaching him and hugging his waist crying my eyes out.

"Please help me", I wimped at him.

"What's wrong my lady", Dave asked picking me up. I covered my eyes with Dave's neck-shielding me away from Nolan.

"Get your hands off her", Nolan's voice spoke. He was angry.

"Ah Master Nolan, Miss Eira rushed up to me crying and I was just trying to comfort her. She doesn't seem to want me to let her go", Dave spoke respectfully but I could hear his voice waver.
