Claimed by my Guardian Angel.

Wanting to find answers about the disappearance of her roommate who hadn't returned back after entering the young Master Marcos room, Anna walked outside the Mansion to the backyard where Young Master Marcos often visits at midnight. She saw him standing with his hands tucked into his front pocket looking at the butler who was holding a shovel in his hand. He was digging a pit at the late hour of the night. "What are you--" Anna stumbled on her footsteps, making her fall on the ground. On hearing a female voice, Marcos turned around to see Anna standing near one of the graves holding a lantern. "What do you think I'm doing?" The corner of his lips tugged up with a cunning smile. "Burying a maid who refused to obey instructions." Anna took couple steps and she froze on that spot. Close to the butler was the dead body of her roommate! "Victoria!" "I told her to make me coffee and she made me tea instead." He put two and two together and his eyes went from her head to toe. "Maidens like you are supposed to be either on bed or working in the kitchen at this time. Anna what are you doing in the middle of the night all alone? Did you come here to seduce me again?" At his words, her face flushed with pink blush and she tried to avoid his gaze. "That is not true." As the butler was about to place the dead body into the grave, Marcos stopped him by raising his hand. "Find a way to dispose this body. We will be burying Anna instead." She felt her heart sink into her stomach at his words.

The look on his face was as if they had met before. Why does he look so familiar? She tried to pinpoint where she had met him before but she became confused.

"I am Marcos Windsor." He addressed himself.

When Anna remembered the words his mother spoke to her, she felt her blood run dry. A maid like her was not allowed to mingle with any of them. But Anna didn't know how she would be able to get out of there without being disrespectful.

She bowed her head again. "It is nice meeting you, Young Master Windsor."

The man raised his two fingers for her to leave and she walked away quickly with Victoria.

"That is one of the troubles you must try avoiding while working here." Victoria commented.

"Why do you say so?" Anna asked.

"Can't you perceive the evil aura he carries? Many people believes he is the one behind the murder of the maidens." Victoria replied. "Make sure you never cross him unless you are serving him his food and as soon as you are done, run away from there. No matter what, do not let those two eyes fall on you because you would only find yourself in more troubles."

Anna turned around to see that the man had disappeared. Where did he go?

All she have to do now was follow the instructions of her roommate who had been working here for a year now.

Marcos who just entered the room, sniffled the air and he turned around immediately to see a man standing behind him.

"Lucian....?" Marcos was totally shocked to see his brother there. It has been a long time, close to fifty years since he saw his brother last.

"Hello brother." Lucian smirked.

"What are you doing here?" Marcos asked with a stern voice. The air around them was suffocating as both men didn't tear gaze from each other.

"Well it's Lucy's eighth birthday and I can not miss it." Lucian laughed.

"It's been fifty years, Lucian." He reminded his brother.

Lucian chuckled. "Forty five years and not fifty. I've been keeping a close eye on Lucy and for fifteen years now, she haven't changed from her baby's appearance."

"You did not come here for Lucy's birthday. Why are you here?" Marcos demanded.

"I missed my family." He walked to the sofa and sat down, placing his legs on the table.

"Do not try to act dumb, Lucian. I know what you are up to." Marcos said. "Why are you here?"

"The new maiden, Anna." He smiled. "I wonder what is so interesting in that girl for you to take the position of her guardian Angel."

"She is not mother, Lucian." Marcos said in a calm voice.

"Brother it's been forty five years. Don't you think we should forget about the past and move on?" Lucian raised a brow.

"Tell me... What is it about the numerous graves at the backyard of this spooky Mansion?" Lucian asked.

"You already know." Marcos said.

With immortal speed, Lucian moved to stand in front of his older brother.

"When was the last time you visited Hawkins town?" At his question, Marcos frowned.

He turned around ready to walk away when Lucian pulled him. "Don't you crave for more powers? To keep you strong before your old age?"

"Stop it." Marcos warned.

"We can go there right now. You know the Jinn's don't trade fair." Lucian whispered to him. "They ask for fairies in return for more powers."

"Stop it." Marcos was slowly growing irritated by his brother.

"That little mouse... Anna. I know she is hiding something. I have been in her dreams a couple times and she might know where we can get the fairies for—"

"Lucian!" Marcos pushed his brother with so much force, making him crash his back against the wall with a loud thud.

Lucian smiled before getting back on his feet. "Now brother, you know how much powers I have acquired these few years. You are a demon just like me and we need more powers to become stronger."

Marcos eyes moved to the gloves on his brothers hand. Over the few years, Lucian have gone to Jinn's to acquire more powers. The Jinn's were creatures that live in the Hawkins town, hiding themselves from the sight of humans. With selfish desires to gain more powers, demons frequents there.

The Jinn's feeds on fairies, so to make the demons get more powers, they request for the body of a fairy.

Marcos eyes bled black completely and he used his whole strength to push his brother against the hard wall, causing a crack.

"Brother one more fight from you and I would let this gloves off and you know how it would feel when my hands comes in contact with your skin." He reminded him.

Both brothers were nothing alike. Lucian was all about gaining more power to become more powerful than the Jinn's. He wanted to rule over them as they were the only creatures they could not go against. The Jinn's were strong powerful creatures, controlling both demons and other creatures.

On the other hand, Marcos enjoyed seeing people suffer. He was devious, sly and ruthless, always having something up his sleeves. His brother, Lucian wears gloves to protect himself from others. Once his bare hands comes in contact with anyone, it would lead to death.

"You see brother..." Marcos spoke. "I have been so foolish... Believing all your lies and going with you to the Jinn's. It's been fifty years and you are still on it. Don't you think it is time to rest?"

"Rest?" Lucian scoffed. "We are demons and demons do not rest."

"This is a clear warning that the next time you enter her dreams.... I would not think twice before cutting your head off." He warned him.

"Ohh my bad." Lucian smirked. "I almost forgot you were her guardian Angel. More like guardian demon."

"This is no joke. Dare me and see what would happen next." His eyes which were black went normal.

"You should know better than to think you are stronger than me." Lucian said with a serious expression. "You lost the fight when you stopped visiting the Hawkins town."

Pulling away from his brothers grip, he disappeared into thin air.
