Young Master Damien's Pet

Penny was left behind the room and once the door shut close, she couldn't help but touch her lips which felt numb even after a few minutes. Remembering his hands on the upper part of her body which had stayed above her waist, she let her body fall down on the bed while covering her face in the pillow.

So embarrassing, said Penny in her mind. Yet, there was something that had kindled in her mind and body. Igniting thoughts in her mind that blew up wider the more she thought about it.

Damien didn't let go of an opportunity. It made her wonder if he was going to talk to Grace later on only that he had waged a deal with her to get what he wanted. Unable to find a good reason to deny that the kiss was more than toe-curling, she turned carefully to let the light fall on her face as she had stuffed in the pillow.

Though she was glad that he did go to talk to Grace now. Relationsh.i.p.s were easy to break but difficult to mend. With their already messy relation, Penny didn't want to deal with a bad outcome where Lady Fleurance would one day refute in the name of her daughter. Rolling in the bed to one side, she got up from the bed to step out of the room and into the patio.

Walking towards the rail where the wind blew over her face. Holding the rails tightly while keeping her feet firmly on the ground she looked at the vast sea that they were surrounded with. The last time she had taken her time to admire what nature had to present them, one of the maids had pushed her from here which had her almost dead.

It was still ironic on how Bathsheba had told that she was a water element while the water she had fallen into had almost drowned. Now that she knew the existence of the elements, she would have assumed that one had to wait for the water bearer to come and hand over the ability to make use of it. But with the water bearer denying that she was a water element, Penny didn't know what to make of it.

Remembering the ritual which was performed days ago, Penny came to realize that she couldn't be the element of land. It was too opposite to the answer that was drawn it. Was it fire or wind then? she asked herself.

Closing her eyes, she enjoyed the chirping of the birds that flew from the corner to the other corner of the land. The sound of the waves that hit the walls of the mansion was soothing which was something she had gotten used to over the days she had spent here.

While she waited in there for Damien to return, someone came up from behind to push her with force where Penny's eyes snapped open to feel herself sway forward. historical

Damien who had gone to see his older sister and not his younger sister was only returning back to the room when he opened the door to see Penny who began to fall forward. Her feet had lost balance and she started to sway to the front, her body topping out of the rail as the rail wasn't built too high.

Penny, on the other hand, couldn't believe this was happening again. With her body oo the rail, she almost started to fall down with gravity pulling her down when Damien quickly appeared to catch hold of her wrist. Her heart was beating loudly with the sudden panic than coursed through her veins of what just happened. Dangling out of the patio with the only thing that kept her from falling back into the sea below her.

He pulled her up with his strength, grasping her by her waist and then taking her back inside the patio to take her quickly in his arms, "Are you trying to kill yourself?" she heard him ask. There was silver of anger in his calm voice which could have alerted her if it weren't for her heart which she could hear beating in her ears right now.

"I wouldn't do that to myself," she spoke hurriedly.

"Were you practicing how to swim?" Damien had seen her almost drown and die last time. For her to test it out, he could barely contain his anger right now.

Pulling back she shook her head, her face worried, she said, "I felt like someone pushed me," hearing this Damien frowned.

"There is no one in the room, Penny. There was no one when I opened the door," he said to have her shake her head in denial.

"I really did feel someone push me," she looked up at him, wanting him to believe while it was also true that there was no one in the room as her eyes tried searching for the person who had pushed her. Had the kiss made her dizzy that her body had started to sway and fall out of the rails? No that couldn't be it. It was true that there was no one in the room, at the same time Penny was sure that she had felt the push.

Damien's lips were set in a thin line, staring at Penny for a few seconds before his eyes narrowed sharply, "Stand where you were standing before," he then asked her, "Where did you feel the push? Which side?"

"On my right," she touched her shoulder to emphasize it and Damien started to unbutton the back of her dress halfway before pushing the dress that was on her shoulder away to see the skin red there.

Not knowing what Damien was doing, she asked, "What happened?"

"You were pushed by someone," his words appeared grim, helping her back by buttoning up the dress from behind. He said, "It is voodoo magic. Someone wants to kill you and we need to find who it is now. Wear your coat, we'll be going out."
