Young Master Damien's Pet

If Durik could he would have cried over his plight and demise of what had come to be in his life. What did he think and what had he turned out to be.

The man had turned himself from being a human to a half-vampire so that he could live long and make the money before going to complete his life happily ever after where he could swim in money. But right now, forget about swimming in money, he would literally be swimming in a pond and mud.

He had turned to a freaking toad, a slimy creature that disgusted him as a vampire too and he wanted to cry.

"Turn me back you damn witcher!" he screamed at the man who stood on the other side of the cell and he saw him crack a grin over his situation. What Durik didn't know was that all his words were translated back to nothing but a bunch of croak sounds that neither Penny nor the witcher could understand.

"I need you to turn him back right now!" Penny demanded and Durik hailed the woman, jumping floppily near to the lady, he placed his hand on her muddy in the hope she would return him back to his original form.

Right now he was in the cell room but if he were to go out like this, Durik was sure he would be chased to his death and the situation in the mansion wouldn't be anything less but he would either be squashed to death with a broomstick or by hands of one of the pureblooded vampires in there unless they planned to torture him.

Penny heard the toad croak at her, looking up for her to listen which she didn't understand a single word, "Do you know what he is?" Penny the black witcher.

Pier looked back down at the frog to say, "I think he is enjoying his time as a toad."

If Durik could, he would have thrown this black witch to the sea or beaten the man black and blue for turning him to something so disgusting! He was far from enjoying his time as a toad!

"Turn me back to myself!" Durik complained.

All Penny could hear was croak, croak and more croaks that filled up the cell room. If she had known the black witch didn't know how to turn the person back, she wouldn't have put the butler through this but who would have known about it. Like the butler who had agreed to help her, Penny had thought the black witcher knew the performing spells for both the turning and reversal process. She was sure there was a reversal because she had heard it from Bathsheba that it existed.

"I am sorry, lady, but I don't know the reversal process for it. I thought you only wanted to learn how to perform it," hearing this from Pier, Penny sighed loudly.

She looked back down at the butler, without moving her leg in the fear that she would step on him by mistake, "I am sorry, Durik. I didn't know the man had no idea of the reverse spell. I will see what I can do and find," having a book of spells, Penny could only hope that she would be able to mix the magic there to be able to fix what happened to the butler, "I will be back soon. Stay here," she said.

Whilst she started to walk away, going through the empty passage, she heard the continuous croak coming from behind her that caught up to where she was. The toad made its way to her.

Turning around, Penny caught sight of the toad that looked helpless. She wondered what to do. It was her fault for not knowing the entire spell from the witcher and now that the butler had turned to a toad, she felt it was her responsibility to look after this toad.

At the same time, how safe was the mansion for a toad?

After a lot of thought, she took the toad along with her back to the mansion in the carriage she had come. Returning back to the mansion, Penny opened the carriage door without waiting for the coachman to let the toad out of the carriage. By the time the toad had made its way towards the entrance of the mansion, the coachman had arrived to hold the door for her.

Stepping out of the carriage, she walked inside the mansion, and the toad closely followed behind her in fear that someone would spot him first and then throw him out of the mansion. If Penny was wearing a dress, it would have been a much easier way to hide behind her but with her wearing pants and shirt, there was very little space to hide.

First came a maid, and for the toad that was Durik found everything to be too big from where he was. Not only had he have to watch where he was going but he had to keep up on how to move forward as walking with two legs was way worse than rolling right now.

"Milady," the maid bowed her head, "Master Damien has been looking for you," said the maid.

"Where is he?" asked Penny.

"He's in the study room waiting for you," answered the maid with a slight bow.

Penny looked ahead of her with a sigh on her lips. She was glad to hear that Damien had returned back home. This way she could let him know what had happened back in the dungeon and with their house butler.

"Okay," Penny replied back and decided to head towards the study room when she saw Grace step down from the stairs.

"Where have you been to Sister-in-law?" Grace asked Penelope with a sweet voice as if Penny was her very own blood sister. Did the sun rise in the wrong direction? Asked Penny to herself, "I heard you packed lunch for some sort of picnic. Whom did you go out with?"

"Just an acquaintance who enjoys good food. It wasn't a picnic. Did you perhaps want to accompany me?" Penny asked in the same tone as if everything was suddenly alright between them.

"Oh, I would love to!" Grace chimed back in a bubbly voice. During this little conversation, Durik who stood behind Penny could only wonder if the world was coming to an end.
