Young Master Damien's Pet

It was Damien who was being pulled by Mr. Artemis. Penny saw the way his eyes had turned black and the corruption had arrived making a number on his as he barely appeared to be in his right mind.

"I don't know why it isn't affecting you but it doesn't mean the air won't affect others. Soon he will be the one to kill himself or you. I hope you enjoy it," saying this, Mr. Artemis pushed Damien inside the room and the woman and man stepped out of the room, pulling the door shut behind them before Penny heard the sound of click as the couple had locked the door from outside.

Penny quickly went to Damien's side where he appeared to be in a state of the subconscious where he stared at what was in front of him without speaking a word to her, "Damien?!" she called for him to hear nothing or receive no reaction. This felt like it had happened before too. It was back when they were in the land of Wovile did she end up in a situation similar to this when her mother was preparing to burn her for the ritual.

"What happened to you?" Penny asked, placing both her hands on the sides of his face.

Lord Alexander and Caitlin had gone missing and it seemed that Damien had not met them but other black witches as she noticed the streaks of black blood on his clothes.

She knew it was no time to think too much as the more time started to pa.s.s by, the more his features started to turn. Mr. Artemis must have injected something into him similar to what was injected into her through the needle that Mrs. Artemis had thrown at her arm so that she wouldn't come to move it to pull the needles from her pocket.

Going closer to him, she leaned forward and pressed her lips. Parting her lips along with his and she breathed in the air from Damien. Sucking the air into her lungs while letting cleaner air into his body. Penny wasn't sure if it would work but it was worth the try. Her hands were useless previously as she couldn't pull out the corruption from his body but she hoped this would work. Even if it was little so that she could bring him back to his conscious state.

She didn't know how long she had been pa.s.sing the air in and out when she felt Damien's arms wound around her waist to pull her close to him. His fingers dug into her skin painfully but it didn't matter to Penny. All she wanted was for him to be okay. His long nails that had been caused due to the corruption pushed into her skin and she knew there would be marks but as time progressed his lips moved against her and the nails that were long had started to turn shorter.

Her back suddenly was pushed to the wall and when she opened her eyes, she caught sight of wild-looking eyes staring into hers. Penny let his corruptive side kiss her, letting him touch her and to satisfy the creature that lingered in his soul since the day he was affected by the corruption.

Right now was not the time for this, but who cared right now when Damien was back to his breathing self where he didn't look like he was on the verge of letting his soul leave him.

Penny flinched feeling his teeth sink into her flesh near her neck. Her right hand was still weak and she used her left hand to bring it up to hold him, to whisper to him, "Please don't drink all of the blood. We still need to go find the Artemis...Dami," she ran her hand against his back to feel him retrace his fangs back.

Pulling away Penny saw how the eyes had started to change its color and so did his skin, "Dummy, mouse."

"Why are you calling me a dummy?"

"What happened to listening to me about running away as far as you can when my corruption takes over?" Damien's consciousness had returned back to him after a momentary blankness. One moment he had been at the stairs and the next moment he found himself here not knowing what happened in between. historical

"Don't expect me to leave you here all alone to save myself. You die, I die. Did you forget?" her eyebrows had drawn together as she stared at him. Damien surprised her by leaning forward and pressing his lips on her forehead.

"Cute mouse. It might be so that we follow each other's death but that doesn't mean you should be around when I am on my worst behavior," he said to her before asking her, "What happened? Where is the man of the house?"

"He went with his wife outside. I don't know where. She will kill everyone in the house," she informed him before asking, "Did you meet Alexander and Caitlin?" she asked as she hadn't seen them since they had arrived here.

He shook his head, noticing her holding her arm, "What happened to your arm?"

"Got a needle. I will be fine you should go," Penny told him to receive narrowed his eyes from him.

"You want me to leave you here alone?"

"The pain in my hand is not reducing, Damien and truth to be told...I feel tired."

"Isn't that more of a reason that I stay here with you?" he asked her to see her give him a small smile, "Let me take you back to the mansion and come back here," he said ready to do it.

Penny shook her head immediately, "No! Don't do it."

"Why not?" The safest Penny right now would be in Delcrov's mansion. Leaving her alone was something that didn't sit well with him.

"Did you notice the house?" she asked him, the frown turning deeper on her face.

"It changed. I noticed," he answered her, wondering what it had to do with him sending her home and coming back to get the Artemis.
