"Master Hades, I think it's time we establish some ground rules," Mallory started, her voice muffled from under the safety of the blanket. Her heart raced with the memory of almost turning into his breakfast. "For instance, I'm more than happy to serve you, but biting is strictly off-limits! You see, when I was little, the physcian had diagnosed me with a severe shortage of blood. It's practically a medical condition!"

She carried the tray to the bedside and set it down. Her gaze lingered on Hadeon, who slept in bliss and without a worry in the world. Why would he, when he was the master of stress giver, not its victim. The man turned people into his victims of torture.

Mallory stood outside Hadeon Van Doren's chamber, tray in hand, holding a glass of blood. She suppressed the urge to question where the blood came from. After all, ignorance was bliss.

Hadeon remarked in a casual tone, "Keep him alive for now. He might prove useful for castle chores and also an addition to your dining option."

"Church? If you want to rinse your sins, I will help you with it. And if it is confessions, I am an excellent listener and secret keeper," Hadeon made a miming action of locking his mouth with his hand.

George, in panic and lack of grace, stumbled into the same site where Mallory had been a while ago. Only this time, the coffins were wide open, as if holding an invitation. The man wobbled before falling with a thud and landing right into the coffin.

"AHHHHHH!!!!" Hadeon screamed along with George, his eyes wide with mock horror, and it scared the human next to him. He then exclaimed, "You scared me! Thought there was a monster in the bushes. Don't do that! My heart is too delicate for such shocks," he scolded, placing his hand on his chest.

"Whom are you calling crazy, monkey?"

Was this an opportunity for her to escape? Did God make Hadeon thirsty so that she could get the time to run? Say no more, God! Mallory Winchester doesn't need another sign! She said it in her mind.

"What? You want option three? Silly me," Hadeon remarked with a mock apology, before grabbing the man's neck and throwing him out of the open window. Leaning over the window, he said, "Would you look at that? He flew better than the last one."

"All I wanted to do was get back to my room, run a nice cold bath, and relax to sleep. It vexes me when my civility is interrupted. I am trying to be a good man here," Hadeon sighed as he advanced towards the trembling, lanky figure, his footsteps deliberate, echoing ominously in the corridor. His voice held a menace, "But fear not. I am generous, and I will give you options. A hole where your heart is, or perhaps a twist of the neck?"

"Finally, you recognise me," Hadeon said, looking at her with a pleased expression, while Mallory looked like she was losing her mind at the turn of events. "Come, now. You have a house to clean."

"Okay, Mr. Not-so-dead-but-dead-person. This necklace? It was a gift given by my grandmother, and she didn't come from a line of servant families. Not even close. Even if she were your supposed servant, it has been a few years since she passed away. Maybe if you hopped back into the coffin, you would find her."

"No evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me," they concluded in unison, Mallory's voice a mere whisper against his confident tone.

"God," deadpanned the man. "Now kneel down and pray."
