Robbie smirked as he sat down in his chair and thought how he could twist Alex’s joke to be in his favor. “Well Clara if you’re staying in my office you might as well sit down. I’m sure Alex said you could,” Robbie said. Clara sat against the wall close to the door. Robbie could tell that Clara was nervous so he calmly said, “You shouldn’t be so fearful of us demons. As you’re well aware, they only one who can punish or hurt you is your master. Trust me, Alex would punish those who do harm you, and he himself won’t hurt you either. I’m sure you already noticed how kind and gently he is to you.”
Clara put her head down and said nothing. She didn’t trust this demon anymore she did her master. She knew anyone can pretend to be kind so you’ll lower your guard. That’s when they stab you in the back. She trembled as she thought about it. Robbie noticed she was trembling and he thought of the perfect cure. “Alex said you should watch and listen to my actions. He didn’t say anything about you showing fear. If you keep trembling like that…wouldn’t you be disobeying him?” Clara immediately stopped trembling after Robbie finished speaking.
This…this demon is extremely clever! N-No…what c-can I…Clara did all she could to hold her tears. Robbie felt a little bad about what he did, but then he sighed and said, “Since you’re supposed to observe me, you won’t mind as I talk out loud about your master,” Clara said nothing and didn’t move either. Robbie nodded his head, “Good. Well, I’m sure you already noticed that Alex is the only red-haired demon in this mansion, and everyone else has either brown, black, or white/silver hair. Are you curious as to why that is?” Clara continued to stay silent.
“Alex is from a very old, very powerful, and very rare bloodline. If fact, I haven’t met any red-haired demon besides him. His parents were red-haired demons, but unfortunately the passed away some time ago.” Clara flinched when she heard that Alex may be the only one of his kind. The flinch was from pity, not fear. Robbie noticed her flinch and said, “Oh…so I got a reaction from you finally. Don’t feel so sad, Alex’s parents died over 10 years ago, and he’s recovered well. And I’ve been there for him ever since.” “You’re…a good friend,” Clara whispered back quietly.
“So she finally speaks,” Robbie stood up and approached Clara quietly. He sat next to her against the wall and said, “You can be Alex’s friend too.” Clara shook her head vigorously as if saying that it was impossible. Robbie laughed, “I guess you have little confidence in yourself,” Robbie stood back up, “If you’re supposed to be observing me than I guess that means you have to follow me to watch me actions,” and Robbie left his office. Clara quickly stood up and followed Robbie. Robbie walked to Alex’s office with Clara quickly and quietly following behind him.
“Ugh…This is so pointless!” Alex grumbled as he threw all his papers off his desk. As the papers were flying everywhere he saw Robbie and Clara past the confetti. Clara quickly started picking up the paper as if was falling on the floor. Ignoring at what Clara was doing, Alex gave an annoyed look to Robbie as if saying ‘what do you want?’ Robbie cleared his throat and said, “Alex…If you expect me to get mine and your work done I suggest giving Clara another task. That is…if you don’t want me telling her anything else about you.”
“WHAT!?” Alex was both angry and annoyed. Once again, Robbie was able to turn his joke back on him. He looked at Clara who was innocently holding the papers he threw and handing it back to him. Alex sighed and took the papers from her saying, “Thank you. Stay with me for now Clara,” she nodded and then he looked to Robbie, “And you can go now.” Robbie grinned and he left the office. Alex sighed and put his palm to his forehead saying, “I swear, Robbie can be such a…” he looked at Clara and noticed she had a bad cut on her palm.
“Your hand…” Alex got out of his chair, knelt down to be eye level with Clara, took her palm and licked her wound. “N-NO!” Clara cried out as she jerked her hand away from him. Alex looked at her surprised then said, “Clara?” Clara realized what she did. She started trembling and crying while stuttering, “I-I’m s-sorry, I’m s-sorry,” and she fell to her knees. Alex wiped her tears saying, “It’s alright…I’m not mad. Don’t be so…so scared.” When Alex touched her she began to tremble more and her old bruises and scars began to show on her body. She didn’t even hear what Alex just said.
Alex moved his hand from her face then put it on her head. He started stroking her head saying, “It’s alright, it’s okay.” He kept saying that while stroking her head until she calmed down. She managed to stop crying and trembling, but the old bruises and scars still showed. Alex moved his hand from her head to underneath her chin. He lifted up her face to look at his and calmly said, “I won’t punish you for something so trivial. Just because I can punish you doesn’t mean I will. I don’t know what you’ve been through, but you’re safe here.” He let go off her face and stood up before she got a chance to respond.
“Come now Clara…stand up,” Alex said with a calm smile. Clara stood up only to fall to her knees. Alex looked at her puzzled and Clara quickly tried to stand up again. She once again fell to her knees. “What is it?” Alex asked but Clara only shook her head. She knew what was wrong, but didn’t dare say. Her legs had given out from fear earlier and they were still unstable. Clara tried to stand up for a third time, and fell to her knees again. Alex couldn’t stand watching this spectacle anymore so he bent down and picked up Clara. He held her under her knees with one arm and her back in the other arm.
“M-Master I’m f-fine,” she stuttered nervously and embarrassed. Alex rolled his eyes and replied, “Clearly you’re not. Now hold on to me.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and covered her face in his chest. She could hear Alex’s calm heartbeat and she closed her eyes. Alex then carried Clara to his room. On the way to his room he noticed Clara’s grip on him was getting looser with each step he took. When he got to his room he sat on the edge of his bed still holding Clara. He looked at Clara and noticed that she had fallen asleep.
Alex moved to the center of his bed and Clara began moving about in her sleeping. The end result of her moving around had her head resting on Alex’s lap. Alex was sitting up straight with his legs straight out in front of him. He sighed as he looked at the sleeping child. He saw that the old bruises and scars had faded. He decided to let her sleep and he gently and continuously stroked her back. She looked so peaceful and content.


Clara is certainly in for a surprised awakening...

Details about Alex's shadow ability coming soon...
