*Niall slunked up along the wall. You never knew if it was a trap after all. Still everything seemed safe. The money should be good too. He walked up the door and rang the bell.*

*Malefica looked over her dress once more before answering the door. She had to make a good first impression. She straightened her white silk dress and went for the door.*
"Ah, you must be the man from the advertisement, am I not right?" *She smiled.* "Please come on in. My name is Malefica."

*Hmm, she was prettier than the people who normally hired him. Saying that they were usually gangs or business men.*
"Niall."
*He stepped inside the house, quickly hiding how impressed he was at the inside.*

*Malefica looked around. The servants were working in the hall. She discreetly called for the butler, who approached and asked Niall if he could take his coat. Then Malefica turned to Niall again.*
"I am sure you must have a lot of questions. Please come with me to my Workroom, so we can settle this down, before you decide if you will accept the position or not."

*Niall eyed the butler suspiously when he took his coat but he couldn't imagine that he would try anything.*
"Whatever you say."
*He followed the woman out of the hall.*

*Malefica walked in front of him to her workroom. She opened the door and stepped aside, allowing him to enter first. Her workroom looked like an office, but there was a cauldron over the fireplace, and in a corner of the room was a locked cabinet with a lot of marked bottles. There was a bookshelf filled with books in another corner, and in the center of the room was a huge desk with a comfortable chair, and another comfortable chair in front of it. Malefica sat down beside the desk and offered him the chair.*
"Please sit down, Monsieur Niall. And tell me a bit about yourself."

*Niall sat. His height seemed to dwarf the chair, though it only added to his appearance. He frowned, though not at the woman.*
"Not a lot to say. I do what I'm told, keep my loyalties and am good to my word. "
*He looked up at her, smirking slightly.*
"That's all you need to know, right?"

*Malefica smiled.*
"All you told me sounds very good. The reason why I replied to your advertisement is that I am threatened by an extremely dangerous person, who will do anything to see me dead. What is worse, I fear that she will try to kidnap my two beloved children. My daughter has a strong will, and knows how to protect herself. But my son, Gawain, is only a baby."
*She looked up at him, looking tired from weeks of anxiety on behalf of her children.*
"I can't remember the last time I had a night of sleep, Niall. And I need someone who is brave enough to stand up to this dangerous woman, and to protect my children. Money will not be an issue. I will gladly pay anything to see my children safe."

*Niall frowned.*
"Who is this person?"

*Malefica became serious and sighed. She expected him to run away screaming when she revealed who she really was.*
"Are you a brave man, monsieur? Her name is Lilith, and she is the Queen of Hell. She will stoop to nothing when it comes to killing me and kidnapping my children. She may try to kidnap them in person, or to send men to kidnap them."

*Niall nodded slowly. After a moment he looked up, a bitter smile on his lips.*
"How much?"

*She looked into his eyes, admiring the bravery she saw there.*
"Name any price you like. And I will gladly double it. I am a very wealthy woman, Niall. No costs will be spared in the efforts to save my family."

"A thousand."
*Niall grinned, he might have his estate after all.*
"A day."

*Malefica smiled warmly. This was just tip money for her. Being the most powerful witch in the world had paid off.*
"I will pay you two thousand a day. But then you will live here at Mondego, keep my children safe, and not leave them unattended for a second. Especially not the baby. Of my two children, he is the most wounderable."
*She found a paper in her desk drawer and started writing a contract. She signed it and and made a copy of it. Then she shoved the papers over the desk, in his direction.*
"As soon as you have signed your contract, I'll find you a room. You will have to stay near my children also at night, to protect them against the kidnappers. And you will see me a lot. Because my youngest child is only a baby, I will have to see to him regularly."

*Niall frowned down at the contract. He's never signed one before. Still, he'd never been paid as much. After a moments hesitation he signed.*
"Fine, I agree."
