“Julienne!” Solandra screamed the moment she appeared in the mansion. She was more relaxed now and judging by the color of her skin now, which was awesomely tanned, not by the sun but by the only place that she trusts to get her airbrushed tan --the Duchess was in Vegas for the past two days and was now seeking the attention of her house staff.The butler, as efficient as ever came to her as soon as he was summoned. “Welcome back, Mistress.” “Who was in Nicolas’ study?” She asked, her eyes were boring deep into the eyes of the old man.“I have no idea, the study is open to only three people. You, Maddox and Helena.” “And you.”“Yes, what is the matter?” Julienne asked calmly, although he kind of knew where this was all leading to. His friend’s eccentric wife was not dumb and having been staying at that study, she could have known where everything was supposed to be. A missing book will not be missed by a human eye, but not by sin-eaters. Solandra had eye for detail and Julienne knew
He could not imagine himself eating steak in what used to be their favorite steak house in New York when he and Kathy were still happily in love with each other. His steak would always be well done while his girlfriend would often times roll her eyes on him for doing so. Kathy liked her steak medium rare. He would always tease her for this and would often get punched on the side so lovingly for telling her that she might as well chew on a live, breathing cow than ordering a seventy dollar worth of steak. Her’s would come so pink inside and oozing with juice. He did not understand this types of people but looking at the huge lump of meat in his hand right now,barely cooked and there was nothing left of it but bones--Zac feared himself but the funny thing there is, he wanted more and he felt, well, better and stronger.“”This must be how, cellphones feel after being recharged.” He muttered to himself. He washed his hands and brushed his teeth, he was almost finished when Chris came in
Zac was torn in two, he wanted to excuse Helena from his family. In less than an hour, his entire family adored the woman and he cannot afford to remove the happy smiles and laughter from his mother’s face. He knew that face. That was the same face that his mother had when Chris finally brought his then serious relationship partner--his wife now--and the soon to be mother of his child home. He loved to expose her too but what good will that idea be? He could not remove her from that group even if he wanted to, he will need a crow bar to do that. So he spent the time trying to make man conversations with his childhood friends and his brothers, lazily lounging away while the rest of the world happens, beer in hand and watching the little kids who appeared out of nowhere. Apparently, they are all his godsons and goddaughters and they were all hoping to see him and maybe get icecream money from him. His friends are almost all married and he and Ken are the oddities. Still single and no
Julienne’s tragic death had caused another turmoil in the House of Hesse-Dermsadt. It happened in the highway and the police was informed right away and was sent to the area to conduct investigation. The Duchess was in her bed chambers when a house staff knocked on her door to inform her of the uniformed guests waiting for her.“What? You should have told them that I needed my beauty rest.”“I did, mistress, but they were rather persistent. Mr. Julienne is dead.” The way she said it made it all so formal. “He is what?”Solandra did not waste time. On normal occasion, she will dismiss the men and have her servants tell them to come back when she is done with her beauty regime. Her skin care routine can take up to a number of hours. She does not necessarily need all the fuss, her beauty will stay as long as she feeds on a regular basis. Blood consumption is the only skin care that sin-eaters need. There was no acne break out inthir world. She only indulges in expensive skin care routin
The last of the guests have left and said their goodbyes. A draft of tomorrow's lunch at the cabin was ready and for finalizing by the first hour in the morning. Jane Oliver was giddy and she and Helena were busy in the kitchen doing the dishes, while happily discussing what food to prepare for tomorrow. Jane even asked her favorites.Ken and Zac along with their snoring father was watching a game in the 32 inch Television set that was mounted on the wall. Their last TV unit was destroyed by their lovely cat, Dingles, who by the way is so comfortable with Helena touching and petting her while they are now in the kitchen doing the dishes and having a very cheerful conversation. Dingles is not a very cooperating cat, but he liked Helena. Zac watched this scene at the side of his vision as he did not want Ken to think that something was amiss.“Pst..” Ken hissed.“What?”“You told me that you were just travel buddies and now you bring her here as your girlfriend. What is the fuss all abo
“The hell is wrong with you? Are you a magician? How the heck did that happen?”The thing with humans, they believe a lot in magic.A whole lot. The whole nine yards. Disney had a lot of contribution at this matter and it sucks for Helena and her kind. It makes the explaining part for new sin-eaters a horrible experience. Take Zachary for an example, now he thinks that Helena is a magician and is very good at it. The woman chose to be dramatic in hopes that Zac would somehow get the gist or at least pick something up from the trick that she had just shown.“Come with me, I will explain everything to you.” “Where?”“Outside.” “Mom will not be happy if we go out at night.”“We are not gonna go out like a normal---whatever.” It was Helena’s turn to grab him by the arm and forcefully threw him out the huge window where she just came in from. Zac’s expression was hard to read, maybe it was amusement or maybe fear or maybe he was getting aroused because in his panic, he looked for somewhe

Zac’s POVI think I might misheard the woman. When she said the last word of her statement, I had to make sure, because you know, ignorance can kill and I do not wish to die at an early age. “Why is there a henchman? Like Snow White and the henchman, the movie?”“I think you know what a henchman is, Zac.” she repeated that dreadful word once again and it rings in my head, like a cluster of cat bells that was tied to a hyperactive cat that was fed with a lot of catnip that day.I know what a henchman is, but I am not saying it out loud. A henchman is a loyal supporter or a follower that works for someone in a position or authority and is willing to help that person even by hurting others or even committing crime. I want to check if Helena was once again out of her mind.So we are sin-eaters. She’s ancient and I am brand new. That is how I out it simply because it still baffles the shit out of me and oh, the top of cherry is that Gods do exist and one of them is after my head.“I have
