Thread: A Debt to Pay [ Dev && Zal ]

Soon the sound of an approaching car could be heard as the gates opened and the gravel gave way under the thick tires. Within minutes the car was in front of the main doors as the two men stepped out before opening the door for Derryk and ushering him towards the entrance. Neither of the men said a word and that was why they had kept their job for so long. Evon desired discretion above all else and both men had shown time and time again that they had no moral problems doing whatever needed to be done just as long as they got paid in the end of the day. Once they reached the main hallway the men would depart and the butler would take charge. You are late. He said in a clipped tone as the examined the boy up and down. There was obvious disapproval in his gaze but he didn't voice his opinions to him. The madam is waiting for you in the living room. If you would follow me and kindly remember to remove your shoes. Without a second glance the man quickly turned around and began walking towards the living room without even looking to see if Derryk was following him. After approaching one of the large oak doors to the right of the hallway the butler motioned for Derryk to enter before turning around and leaving the two to discuss the business at hand. His job here was done and he had other work to do so couldn't concern himself with what would happen to the boy now. Evon was sitting in an expensive looking leather chair as she gently sipped her wine and stared at the burning fire to her left. The sound of approaching footsteps and an opening door caught her attention as she turned her head to catch sight of the butler ushering in the young man before leaving. So this was Derryk? His father had shown her a picture of him before they made the deal and she did have to admit that the picture was telling the truth. He looked like any other teenage boy would with messy hair and normal clothes. That might have worked for his other life but now that he was here she really was going to have to do something about that. There was no way she was going to allow someone like him to stay here wearing jeans and t-shirts. Actually, now with him here she'd have sort of like her own life sized doll to dress up how she liked. Welcome. Evon said simply as she motioned for him to take the seat across from her. She didn't hide the fact that she was scrutinizing his appearance and already making mental notes of his every movement. No doubt learning that he had been practically sold to a stranger was a blow to the boy but the sooner he dealt with it the better. My name is Evon Arriya though from now on you are to refer to me as Mistress. The woman explained as she set down her wine glass and stared directly at him so blue eyes met chocolate ones. I'm sure your father told you the terms of our agreement and I'm sure that you spent a good deal of time whining and moaning about it. Let me assure you that while your father may have let you I am nowhere near as understanding. I don't appreciate any attitude from my pets so it would be in your best interest not to test me. A pet, that was all he was now. He was no longer a living, breathing human and instead was a thing for her amusement. As part of our deal you are to serve me. That includes bringing me my meals, doing some light clean up as well as attending to whatever other chores or tasks that I set for you. Do you understand?
