Taking matters upstairs

Madeline took the key and opened the door, she was feeling something in her she had never felt before, herself. Once the door was opened, she didn't move, but waited for his next command.

"No one really, just a friend who accompanied me to the All Hallow's Gala. His name is Andrew." Madeline said in a no nonsense voice. "Why?"

She loved the way his firm hands felt againist her, she loved it. It was almost like she was in a euphoric state. And she for some reason she felt she needed to be here.Honestly? It was the question you asked me earlier, and the tone in which you used before we left the meeting hall. I don't know how to explain it, I just feel it is my place right now to be here." The brat in her was wanting to say because you told me to, but she fought the urge.

Madeline thought about her answer. Madeline had spent most of her teen years at a boarding school, where she was trained basically to be a submissive. She never really understood why that was path chosen for her education. That was until now. In a submissive tone she answered."I told you, whatever you ask.

To prove this she knelt on both knees, hands behind her back, and looked up at him with a soft submissive expression.

Madeline giggled, but not breaking his stair. "No, I'm not afraid. Truth is I was raised around wolves, and no I'm not scared. Yes, I do value my soul, but whats the point of having one, if you don't give in to it's needs. And right now I need this, whatever this is." The look in his eyes made her more willing to do his bidding.

Andrew had told the men that she had felt something was wrong with Maddie, like she was in some kind of danger. They immediately went in search of her.

They were franticly running up and down the hall on the first floor. Listening at each door for a moment to listen for voices. They weren't there. So they made a mad dash for the stairs. They were very much hoping that they were still in the Inn. They were Venis said something. They began listening at doors on the second floor.

Isah heard her voice, and he thought that was Mr. Adams voice as well. "Here." He said that one word and they all came running. Now, to get into the room. It would be too much to hope for that the door be unlocked. Isah tried the door and it was in fact locked. "Guess we burst through it then."

He stepped back, as did the others. They were ready to kick the door open. Andrew tried first. The door was rather strong. Shamus tried next. The door gave a little, but it was more of a bend than a break. Then Derek stepped up. He kicked the door hitting it right beside the knob and the door burst open. The handle to the door fell to he floor once it was no longer attached to the door. Venis was going to have to replace that door.

The men began to fill the room. They were fully intent on getting Maddie out of that room. When they looked to where they were he was crouched down on the floor. He was covering her body with his own and no one quite knew why. Andrew couldn't help himself ... He yelled out to her. "Maddie!"

Madeline stayed perfectly still, as she was told. She could feel pressure around her heart, but dared not move. "GO AWAY ANDREW!!"

She was still feeling the pain of his rejection, and the pain of her whole life for that matter, she didn't know what was causing these feelings in her. It hurt like hell, but for some odd reason she felt she needed it,"

Andrew sighed. "Not without you Maddie, and in one piece." He cut his eyes at Mr. Adams. "We have plans to make dear. A picknik, remember?" Isah started to move towards them and Andrew held out his arm to stop him. "Mr. Adams, you know who I work for. You know what will happen if you harm her. I don't think that whatever happened in her room the other night put you in her good graces enough to save you from this." He was serious, he had worked for Venis for a long time. He had seen her do some unspeakable things to people, for less.

Andrew was loosing his temper. That took a lot for him. He wasn't one to fly off the handle. But this guy was pushing his buttons. "Maddie, tell Mr. Adams that you would like to leave. It's alright, he will let you." Andrew took a deep breath. "Won't you Mr. Adams?"

The men behind him were getting restless. Not everyone had Andrews control. But Andrew had taken charge of this situation, and they were going to have to maintain ... or leave.

Madeline was torn. She wanted to stay, but at the same time she didn't feel like giving up her life just yet. Benajamin represented a release from all the pain and anguish she had been trying to hide, but she realized it came at a price. She wasn't really sure if she was willing to pay it.

Then there was Andrew, he seemed to really care for her, and she thought alot of him as well.

"She turned and faced Mr. Adams. Benjamin, I appericate what you have offered me tonight, but I need time to think." She could feel the tears swelling up in her eyes. For once in her life she missed having parents to talk to.

She stood up and walked towards Andrew and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you for worrying about me, thats very sweet. Now if you two will excuse me, I need time to think."
With that, Madeline walked out the door. Once she hit the stairway, she ran down the stairs, and found her way to the gardens.

Andrew hugged her as she kissed his cheek. The men behind him parted and allowed her to leave. Andrew would go to her later to check on her, she wanted to be alone to think, he would let her do so.

They now all stood there in the room with Mr. Adams. Andrew chose to speak up. "Thank you for letting her go. Someone will be along to fix he door. Have a nice night." With that he turned and walked out the door. The others joined him, some looking over their shoulders at him as they did.
