Darius
 Darius was roused from his sleep, much to the surprise of the men working in the slave shop, and shackled before he was dragged into the back of a van. The blond grumbled about being woken up and took note of the number of guards that were going with him. It was little wonder he had so many men crammed in the back of a vehicle with him, not after his capture. He remembered that day well and smirked slightly. Sure he had ended up caught, but not without a struggle. It had been a few months back and Darius had been asked to take care of some business for his adoptive father. Naturally, it had started out like a normal night, he got oh his motorcycle and drove to an undisclosed location to meet with a few unsavory types. Usually he would knock a few heads around and get a payment to bring home, but that night someone got the drop on him. He had been outnumbered, okay he was always outnumbered, but there were more men then normal and he had been blindsided. Next thing he remembered he was in a cell with men talking. That had turned out to be the slave shop he was now leaving. He couldn't say he was sorry to see the place behind him, but he wasnt certain where he was going could be any better. After all, it was well known who, or what he had been. That meant whoever bought him was either someone like his father, or wanted someone like him around for his... Talents. Only time would tell. As he was lost in thought the van arrived at the home and the men got out interrupting the dark Angela's train of thought for a moment. He looked around and thought the place looked nice enough, but wasnt sure he could rely on that. After all plenty of deadly things were also beautiful. Taking a deep breath he followed the guards up to the front door where one rang the bell. Now was the moment of truth. Should he attempt to escape or go with whoever opened the door? ((Hope it was an alright post. Again it's not easy to type on the iPad.))

 Blaise was in his father's study, tidying things away, sorting out what should be kept and what should be thrown out. He glanced up at the clock on the wall. His slave should be arriving any time soon. He was a little nervous. He had never bought a slave before. He needed a bodyguard though and this seemed the best way to get one who'd definitely be loyal. If he hired someone from the situations vacant or an agency then how could he be sure their loyalties didn't lay with his late parent's enemies? He hadn't gone to the shop himself, he had spoken to the manager on the phone and explained his needs. A good strong fighter who would be an excellent bodyguard. After all, he was alone now apart from two young female maids and an antiquated butler who should have been retired a decade or two ago. Hardly protection! He had just finished tidying up when he heard the door. He heard Elizabeth hurrying down the hall to answer it. The slim pretty brunette answered the door. "Yes sir? Oh, the young master's bodyguard! Wonderful. Come in, come in. Master Blaise is in his late father's study, I'll take you to him." She quickly signed the delivery slip that was thrust at her by one of the guards. She eyed the man they'd ushered to the door. He certainly looked like a suitable bodyguard. Rather intimidating, actually. "This way."

Darius eyed the house he was brought to wondering if this would be someone like his father wanting to use him for the dirty work. He was good at it so he didnt mind the task, it just got old quickly and he rarely had time to himself. If he wasnt dealing with the business he was cleaning up another mess which left very little time for his own needs. Not that anyone really wanted to be with him, he was intimidating, and he needed to be if he was going to get the job done. When the door opened a woman was standing there in a maid outfit. He sure hoped she was just a maid and not the person that bought him! Sure he was fine around women, but if she assumed he was going to be good company she had another thing coming. Nodding his head he followed the woman, the chains that kept his hands bound behind his back rattling slightly with each step. Sure he could get out of this position just by dislocating his shoulders. It hurt like hell, but he had done so before and used the chains to choke the last guy that restrained him like this. However, this time around he decided to see just who bought him first.

Elizabeth opened the study door. Blaise was standing waiting by the window, trying not to look too timid. He was master of the house now, he had to try and be adult and in control. He didn't feel ready for any of this though. He looked at the guy who Elizabeth led to the room. He was tall, muscular, handsome. He had a scar, Blaise noticed, and tattooing. He was wearing earrings, same as Blaise was himself. He looked intimidating, which was what was needed so not surprising. He was also chained. Blaise frowned. "Elizabeth, get those chains off him!" he told the woman and she fiddled about to release the man from the restraints. "I'm Blaise" he introduced himself, holding out his hand. "It's Darius, right? I'm sorry they chained you. Elizabeth can get you anything you need - food, drink, bath... And show you to your room. Um...I suppose we're supposed to talk. Duties, routine, that sort of stuff?"

As the man walked through the house he payed attention to what he saw and strategic points for attack or defense. It was a short trip to the study and he looked around the room before focusing on the male by the window. That was his master? Was this a joke? If he hadn't been chained and knew this was serious the man would have laughed. He rarely laughed. Looking the boy over he couldn't help but notice the male seemed timid, unsure of himself and Darius let out a sigh. At least he ordered the woman to remove his chains. Once the chains were off he rubbed his wrists slightly. "That correct. Don't be sorry. If things were different I would chain someone like me up too. Trust me kid, it was in their best interest." Taking Blaise's hand he gripped it firmly and gave it a shake. Once that was taken care of he crossed his arms over his chest and watched the teens actions. "So, just what does a kid like you want with someone like me? I'm guessing your not interested in my skills for killing someone, so your probably after a bodyguard. Poor choice buying a slave to protect you. 95% of the slaves that can do so would either kill you and take your wealth, use you for their own enjoyment and keep your wealth, or just run off. Don't expect loyalty from a man just because you bought his life."

Blaise raked a hand through his yellow-blond hair. The way this guy was looking at him just made him feel more nervous. Was he annoyed at belonging to someone so young. He listened to what Darius had to say and sighed. "Elizabeth, please bring us a pot of tea for two and some sandwiches" he said, wanting to get rid of the maid so they could have privacy and guessing Darius could do with food and drink. "Yes, I need a bodyguard. And actually, I may possibly need you to kill someone actually. My parents were recently killed in an aircraft accident. It looks as though it may not have been an accident though but sabotage. If I ever find out who killed my parents then...yes, I'd want you to kill them!" he told him. "Anyway...my father was a businessman who it seems was into some pretty shady things. I'm in way too deep, I don't understand half of what's going on. I need help and I need protection. As for loyalty, I just thought...I don't know. I can't just hire someone in case an enemy uses that as a chance to get close to me."

It seemed that his master, boy was it hard to think of this kid as his owner, could see his annoyance. He understood why Blaise would want someone like him, but he still didn't have to like it. As the woman left Darius looked out the window behind the blond teen listening to what he had to say. "So, you want to use my skills for revenge. What do you plan to do once that is accomplished? Can you live knowing that you caused the death of someone else? That you ordered the death of someone that probably has a family, kids of their own. The people that might have killed your parents wont hesitate to do so, there are many men like that, my father included. You are young still, have an entire life ahead of you. I can protect you physically, but once you order the death of someone, there is no going back from that. "

Blaise stared down at the deep-pile dark carpet and fidgeted awkwardly. "I...didn't think men like that had families, kids" he replied naievely. "I didn't think a father would be capable of such things. I...can't answer your questions, I don't know the answers yet. I just know I need protection and ....just...someone. I can't be alone here. I've no idea how to run my father's business or who to trust or anything. As for loyalty, I can make you an offer. No one need know you are a slave. I won't treat you as such. I will pay you a very generous sum for your services and when I deem myself safe and no longer need you, I will give you your freedom and that said generous sum." He looked up to see the man's reactions. Would it be enough to ensure his loyalty? His friendship even maybe?

"They do, most are good at hiding who they are from their families. Others were in the business and met someone creating a family." He really didn't care about what the man thought of that lifestyle, after all he was part of it even if he hadn't wanted to be. All he knew was the man that adopted him and took in his mother had given them a home, his father treated his mother well and cared for her. She was happy, it was only fair that he did his part for the man that showed so much kindness to him. "I can provide you protection and you can trust me. When I give my word I don't break it, guess its part of the angel in me." He would let the male before him figure that one out. "I am a slave, you don't need to pay me. Im not going to make you pay again for my service. Im not that kind of man. Working for my freedom though, that I wouldn't mind."

Part of the angel in him? What did he mean by that, Blaise wondered. It seemed like an odd thing to say. He pushed the thought away to the back on his mind for now. "Thank you. I promise, once you are no longer needed here then I will give you your freedom" he replied. There was a tap at the door. "Come in, Elizabeth" Blaise said and the maid came into the room with the tea and sandwiches. She set the tray down on the coffee table. "Thank you. Would you please prepare the guest suite next to my room?" Elizaeth nodded and left. Blaise looked to Darius. "Help yourself. I'm giving you the bedroom that used to be my nanny's when I was younger. It has an adjoining door with my room, I thought that was a safe precaution."

The blond could see that Blaise was curious about what he meant. Well, that would work in his favor he thought. Looking towards the door Darius didn't seem like he was waiting to strike if need be, but he had learned how to seem like he was relaxed in any situation. As the maid came in Darius looked at the food and drink for a moment. "I have to test those you know. Will have to from now on. If someone wants to kill you the easiest way is to poison you." He took a sip of tea and waited for a few minutes before he took some of the food provided. Both were fine and he let Blaise know that. "The room location is fine though most likely I'll be patrolling the grounds and staying by your room just to be safe." Darius would go to the room he was given at times if only to stretch his wings. He didn't show them often not liking the looks he got from others. He was born a fallen angel so his wings were black thanks to his father's taint. The male that gave his DNA was a demon and so he had that blood in his veins.

Blaise paled a little. Poison him ? "I...I actually never thought of that!" he replied, feeling foolish. "But all the food is prepared in the kitchen by Margaret. She does all the shopping and cooking herself, I'm sure no one would get the chance to poison my food." He liked the idea of Darius patrolling the grounds and corridors. That would make him feel safe. He hated all of this. Discovering everything his father had been into secretly had been a terrible shock and he was left with a legacy of fear and confusion. "When you arrived, I was just sorting out stuff in my dad's study" he told him. "I found these." He took some papers from his pocket and handed them to him. They were anonymous threatening letters. They were warning Blaise's father to 'change his mind or suffer the consequences'.
