Young Master Damien's Pet

Chapter 356 Quiet Inn- Part 1

Chapter 356 Quiet Inn- Part 1


Arriving at the abandoned church, Penny pushed the door which was closed while the other was left open and broken at the same time. It looked nothing less to a ruin that was left after some great event that must have taken place back in the time of history. Stepping inside, with her hand that had touched the dusty church door, she wiped it off her bottom skirt.


The sky was still cloudy and it didn"t look like the ritual would take place today. It was safe to say that the witches wouldn"t enter again as they had already attacked the town once.


Penny"s eyes scanned the worn out building which looked broken mostly, the windows were not intact some with the windows and some without the windowpane in it. There was snow on the floor where the ceiling was broken and the other side was filled with cobwebs.


"How do you know of this place?" she asked still taking in the church they had entered. There was no cross at the chapel and it looked as if someone had stolen it purposely.


"I came here when I was stuck in Wovile," Penny remembered the time when Damien was away and she was stuck with Grace and his step-mother. Those were some days, she thought to herself, "You will find some more corpses if you open the confession box," she didn"t know if he was warning her or he was only stating what had happened. She heard the sound of the body falling on the ground when he dropped the dead witch on the floor.


"Why did you kill them?" she watched Damien crack his neck.


He rubbed his hand around the back of his neck, looking at the church, "They were little pests who wanted to kill me after noticing my corruption," it made her wonder how bad things had turned when he was here. Damien wasn"t able to use his ability to return back, at least not for some time due to spilled magic. With Grace dragging her out, they hadn"t spoken much on what happened during his time here and had instead spoken about her time.


"I thought only the colors of your eyes changed."


"My teeth and my l.u.s.t came out when I was feasting on a woman which I left behind. I didn"t know someone had followed me. And they were all witch hunters. Most of the witch hunters origin from Wovile which is why you will find witches very rarely not only because they are burnt but also because they are chased away while also the white and the black who side with each other," once he was done stretching his back, he took the dead witch by her hand, dragging her back as he walked ahead near a cupboard looking place.


When he opened it, Penny"s eyes widened.


The large cupboard at the side which must have been used for other holy purposes now had dry corpses in it. One body after another body which laid on top of each other. It looked as if their soul was sucked dry, not only that the body had turned to like as if it had undergone draught where the water content had been sucked out of them.There was a pungent smell in the air due to opening the cupboard which had the dead bodies.


Penny didn"t ask Damien but the man went to continue while pus.h.i.+ng the white witch into the cupboard while making s.p.a.ce in it, "They were quite persistent when wanting to kill me. It is very rare someone gets out of the situation once they are found with their heart corrupted. I don"t know what this land did but I think it only maximized what I am. Unleas.h.i.+ng the raw strength that comes with being corrupted. You see when a person gets corrupted he or she loses their sanity. There is no right or wrong, with no emotions. We lack emotions at that time," pus.h.i.+ng the sliding door shut, he turned to look at Penny where his eyes were red now, "They have no rationality which puts them at a disadvantage. Anyways, I drank all of their blood. I was very thirsty back then and once I had all the blood I needed, I got back home," he concluded, walking past her to fetch something behind her.


He drank all the blood? Penny"s eyes gradually moved as her head turned to look at Damien who pulled out something from behind the garbage that had turned out to be with leaves and multiples desks that were pushed and put on each other while turning the inside of the church bare except for this heap in here and the few cupboards that were lined at the walls.


Bringing a dusty book that was stuck in there, he asked her, "What do you see?"


Glancing down at his hands where he had raised the book, she said, "Holy Biblical scriptures," she said for him to nod, "What happened?"


"Just checking. We don"t know when we will catch another book in time again which has been placed under the deceiving spell of the eyes," Dropping the book flat, he placed his hand on her hand and in a blink of an eye they had moved from the church back to the local inn.


"Let me go see if missed dinner," he announced after hearing her stomach growl.


"What time is it?" Penny asked, her hand reaching out to the pocket watch and flipping it open where the time continued to tick its way forward. It was past nine. Time had pa.s.sed so quickly.


They had left the inn around six something and they had spent three hours out in the town, "Will the food be provided?" they had paid for it with a gold coin but local villagers and innkeepers usually had fixed time and had their dinner early so that they could retire to bed early.


"Let"s ask the lady herself," Damien said, his hand reaching out quickly to open the door to have the innkeeper who standing there at the front of their room.
