*Malefica took the contract and locked it into her safe. Then she turned back to him with a smile.*
"You will receive one paycheck each day at the end of the day. And now, as the formalities are over, I will find you a room, and later show you around. Since your presence is needed, you will eat with the family, and not with the servants."
*She walked to the door and opened it for him.*
"Please follow me, and I'll take you to your room. You can send for your belongings later if you like."

*Niall had to admit he was impressed, very impressed with his room. It was tasteful decorated in blue and cream, with a large four poster. Bookshelves lined the wall.*
"Thank you, this will suit."
*He responded neutrally, hiding his pleasure.*

*Malefica smiled friendly.*
"I am sure you will find anything you need in here for your comfort. But as for weapons, I am not sure what methods you prefer to use? I will allow you to protect my children with all means."
*She walked towards the door. The light from the candles gave her soft skin a warm glow, and made her long, golden curls shine. Her eyes were bright blue, and beautiful. She turned around and looked at him.*
"Do you want me to show you around the house, and then I fix you something to eat? Or do you want to rest?"

*Niall's mouth felt dry but it could not explain why.*
"I would tell you my methods but then, I'd have to kill you."
*He winked at her.*
"I'd like to see the house if it's no bother."

*Malefica smiled. Her ruby lips parted, and showed off her shiny white teeth.*
"Yes, of course. I will also show you the garden. I want you to be as familiar to the house as possible, if that can help you to secure the children better."

*Niall nodded.*
"Anything you can let me know will help."

*Malefica took him on a tour of the house, showing him the huge kitchen, the living room, the library, the doors which lead to Icarus' study and the Master's bedroom. She showed him the children's rooms, and then the rest of the house. Afterwards she showed him the garden, the park, the little lake and the meadows below the house.*

*Niall was stunned. He had never ever in his life imagined such wealth. But even as he saw it, he wanted it. It wasn't fair that some people had so much whilst he had fought for everything.*
"Your house is certainly...impressive."

*Malefica remembered happier days. It was Icarus who had bought this house for them. He had given her anything a girl could want... except the one thing she really wanted: his love. After Gawain's birth Icarus constantly locked himself inside his study, and stayed away from her. He said that it was because he needed time to find a way to fight Lilith, but this was really Malefica's fight more than his.*
You can have all the money in the world, and buy an impressive house and beautiful things to fill it with. But all of this means nothing if you don't have anyone to share it with. Without love, life is empty and cold.
*She smiled to Niall, but the sadness of the world were showing in her beautiful doe-eyes.*
"Thank you."
*She said quietly, as if nothing mattered to her anymore.*

*There was more to this than met the eye, though in truth he didn't really care. So long as he did his job and got paid for it he would turn a blind eye to anything else.*
"When shall I meet your son?"

*Malefica smiled, with motherly pride.*
"He is in the Master Bedroom, sleeping. I will fetch him when he wakes up. You can meet him then, after I have tended to his needs."

*Niall inclined his head.*
"Fine."
*He stood, a little uneasily in the hallway.*

*Malefica looked friendly at him.*
"Perhaps I can offer you something to eat or drink?"

*Niall shook his head.*
"I am satisfied thank you. If it is all the same to you I shall return to my rooms."

*Malefica nodded.*
"Of course. Go and rest. I will send for you when my son wakes up from his nap."
((Which is when Brandi is back))
