THE butler whent on. on seeing the small girl he asked her her name. "my name is haven s-sir" answered the girl. "and haven then." the five were given cloths to wear and were all sat in a carriage on the way to their new home

3 hours later

on arival the O'Connor family were stood outside. haven was a pureblooded vampire herself at age 10. her parents were disgusted at the thought of a daughter and so sold her to slavery when she was 3. her eyes were drawn to a little boy with ebony hair that was long enough to be tied into a low ponytail and blood red eyes. a pureblood. and a junior lord. he caught her staring and stared back with a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. she quickly averted her eyes but on doing this the boy frowned. he walked up to her, took her by the hand and pulled her over to his father. "son why have you pulled one of the slave-" he cut out on sensing another puredblood stood next to his son. "oh my god..." his wife started. "son take her inside to the spare room next to yours we will be up in a few minutes." his father said after murmuring under his breath. the boy pulled haven up the stairs and into a room. "hey it's ok your safe don't be scared I'll protect you if need be ok?" These were the words that came out of the boys mouth. "I promise". the husband and wife calmly walked into the room smiling. "ms haven leshtonar ?" said the tall man. "y-yes sir..." she replied. " ms haven you have no idea how happy we are to have found you. now your parents may be lord and lady of the South but abusing and abandoning their child has gotten them stripped of their titles." he explained. "see I told you you were safe." piped in the boy. "look you are now a resident here haven and from now on you will be treated like the proper lady you are. the lady of the southern empire! you will have maids and education and everything you desire." the man said.

" I look forward to spending long years with you haven. oh by the way my name is Elijah." ebony boy said with a smirk. " as do I ebony boy" haven said with a smile.
