'Somehow, your Bloodmancer class has exceeded its limits, or her feelings are stronger toward you. A third possibility is that she resonates with your Bloodmancer class, which affects her heart. She may one day summit to you because she has a stronger response to your blood. She may become a bloodmancer and not a lesser one if turned.' Mary spoke after the update text appeared in his mind.

Shane sees surprise and a faint smile across Henry's face. He stands up and gives her a slight bow," professor, it is getting late, and I must go. I shall see you tomorrow evening."

She follows him out of the office and watches him exit the building. Strange feelings flow through her at seeing him leaving. A sense of worry about the ghost he will encounter makes her want to run to the door and call him back. Shaking her head, knowing the guy is ten years younger than her and her father has plans for her future that will gain her father a lot of power. The feeling of helplessness makes her realize that her life is over as a necromancer in two years. She will become nothing more than a bed warmer and baby factory for a very old man.

Henry doesn't know the thoughts flowing through Shane's head, or he would have used it to try to capture her heart. He was already using the detect life skill and found seven people hiding nearby. There is a smell from the sexual juices that seem to be flowing nearby. He figures they are the three dark witches that are huddled together. The other three life forms are in the direction of his manor. He would have to pass them. The last person is straight across from him and is behind a large tree between this building and the teacher dorm. Using the Leeka, he hid in the shadows. He then sends Leeka out to investigate the four unknowns. After thirty minutes, Miss Gordon came out, locked the door, and walked past him. Henry had already turned off his charm and seduction skills to hide better. She stops before climbing the stairs looking around.

"He will get me fired one of these days if I don't get these urges under control." Muttering to herself. "He is almost like a vampire. If I did not see him today in the sun, I would have believed he was turned. But vampires can't use magic." Shaking her head as she climbs the stairs, her eyes flare red as her necromancer Nightvision kick in. "I can see the three sex fiends. Henry must have slipped their net." Chuckling under her breath as she headed toward the teacher housing.

She stopped and yelled toward the tree. "Tommy Anders, you better not be anywhere close to a hundred feet of me, or the campus security will turn you over to the city guards!"

A figure took off running, putting the tree between him and her as he ran away into the night. A few more minutes after, Professor Shane disappears in the direction of her dorm. One of the witches ran to the stairs. It is Kate, one of the dark witches. She ran down the stairs and tried the locked door. Cursing under her breath, she ran back to the other two. After a few minutes of the witches arguing, they head toward the women's dorm.

Leeka soon appears and whispers to him in his mind. "They are your stepbrother's thugs waiting to ambush you when you leave. They are arguing on what to do now, but they are leaning towards killing you in the mansion you brought. They hear you bought the place from someone who was gossiping at a table near them earlier today at a cafe. The other one ran off. I believe it to be a stalker." The warm, lovely voice of Leeka flow in his mind.

He thinks he needs to see if there is a ghost and if not at the manor, he then needs to kill these three men. He thought about all the information he found on the lady of the manor and her husband at the library. A thirty-something, one-sixteenth elven woman, considered to be one of the top beauties when she was alive. She was highly jealous of her husband's attention and was known to attack women that looked at him. Her husband was known to have slept with hundreds of women while married to her. Still, he ended up getting the woman's niece pregnant. He was planning on marrying the niece after planning his wife's death by assassins in their home while he was away on business.

"Let head to the manor." Using shadow walking to travel the distance to the manor and then hiding in the shadows to regain his spirit, he stopped next to the gate. After not seeing anyone, he uses the key, steps through the gates into the courtyard, leaves the gate unlocked, and walks up the driveway to the circular drive with a dry fountain and statue of a winged angel covered in moss. Climbing the stone steps and arriving at the manor door. Leeka stepped into his shadow and disappeared. Glancing around and using his night vision, he doesn't see anything moving. Opening the door and not locking it, he slips in and steps into the shadow and waits. A few minutes later, a faint light can down the stairs and move around, disappearing when the door creaks open.

"Sssh, you might wake him." Faint whisper flow to him.

The three men in dark capes walk in and reach halfway to the stairs. One man leaps up and takes the stairs three at a time to the top and disappears. The other two were about to move when an ear-piercing scream that seemed to change into a cry that even the soul could feel.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

The front door slammed shut at that moment. Stunning the two men as they stare at the top of the stairs, one man turns and rushes to the door, pounding on it, trying to get it open. The other man seems to be rooted in horror, as he can see a woman in a blood-red dress and glowing red flaming hair float down the stairs toward him. When he realizes the danger, he turns to flee. But it was already too late, as the woman's hand entered the back of the man's skull that was about to run. Yanking the man's ghostly soul out of the collapsing body as she sucks the man's soul inside her.

A beautiful, eerie female voice spoke across the room, "My husband sent three little assassins at my door, what big knives they did have. Is it to strike at me, I implore? Should I strike you down with the knives you have?" She giggles gleefully. The giggle froze Henry's heart for a moment. The last man started screaming as the breathtaking beauty with long red hair in a strapless red gown that is flowing to the ground staring at the man. As her solid black eyes stared at him, a knife flew from his hands and hovered above her.

"My evil, trickery, lying husband. Since you want to kill me for my money! I will kill your little mouse and then my bastard of a husband!" The man beat harder on the door as a knife flew and pierced his arm to the door. He screams as she calmly floats to the man as he tries to pull the knife out of his arm with fear on his face. She reaches out slowly and grabs the man's head from behind. Henry watches as the soul is ripped from the man's body and is devoured by the woman.

Giggling, "Like mice trap in a box, it is so easy to kill you. I will send my husband to the nine hells to pay you for your service."

My heart nearly stops when she turns toward me. "You may come out of the shadow, little mouse." She whispered and then giggled.

Stepping from the shadows, I slowly walk up to one of the three men's bodies, swatting down as I stare at her handiwork. Hoping Leeka can stop her from attacking me if she decides to attack. Searching the body and pulling out a small bag of gems. Turning toward the woman and pouring the bag into the palm of his hand.

"Look like they were hired to assassinate you. You have done a wonderful job stopping them." Turning my charm and seduction to its fullest.

"You think?" Her voice squeaks in joy, clapping her hands.

"It a shame your husband fled!"

"He, he did?" She spoke hesitantly, looking around, frowning as her eyes stopped at the staircase.

"He did. If I knew you were still living here, I would not have bought the manor." Shaking my head sadly.

The woman's blue eyes slowly appear as her head turns to him, and her eyes narrow. "Sold the manor? H-how much did you pay?"

Unrolling the purchase receipt and step towards her. Holding the paper up in the dark and pointing to a number.

"300 gold."

She reaches out and touches the deed. With a look of surprise, "Where, where his soul mark! It's not on the deed!" As she then touches him on the arm, he finches for a second as a cold hand grips him. "You soul mark is on the deed! How?"

[+5 resistance to ghost touch.]

"I told you. I bought the deed from your husband, and he put the money I gave him for the deed into a small chest with his other money and jewelry. The town hall okay it." Showing the deed seal. "Then they boarded his car and headed east." Watching the woman's eyes that were trying to figure out what had happened. Relying on the fact that she may have forgotten the last days of her life and her husband's death, she causes after her own death.

"Th...They?" She stammered in shock. She was focusing on the word.

"Oh, I am terribly sorry. I did not know the young woman was not his wife."

"Young? How young?" She croaks out as she grips his arm tighter. He felt the cold gripe freezing him as her bosoms rested on both sides of his arm as she looked up into his eye to search for answers. Her heart skips a beat then they search his eyes. The man before her was a lot better looking than her husband.

Henry looks down in surprise because she can touch him for this long. Pretending to be in thought. "At least she is younger than me, and I am only eighteen."

The cold grip tightened more on his arm, gritting his teeth in pain from her grasp and coldness. Her eyes look around the room in thought, trying to think who it might be. "Did she have brown wavy hair and large breasts?"

[+3 resistance to ghost touch.]

"Yes, her breasts go out to here," using his one hand to show how huge the woman's breasts were." His right arm is pulled tighter to her average size breasts as she hugs his arm harder as her breathing gets heavier." Although her breathing seems to have increased, Henry knows that she can't breathe. But the air around him seems to have gotten colder.

"The slut! He fuck my own niece! No wonder she was always here or by his side when they went in town. Saying he is teaching her to help him run the factory and shops! Always tell me that the lady of the house should entertain guests to keep up appearances. No wonder I found a receipt for five hundred gold to a man saying, 'you can kill her tonight."

As he watches her, she slowly gets more solid and more color into her skin. Her dress turns blood red in the moonlight that is cast into the room. She then pulls Henry up the stairs as he glances around, feeling even greater pain in his arm as she pulls him harder up the stairs, leading him toward the master bedroom. He found himself in a master bedroom.

[+3 resistance to ghost touch]

Her eyes get larger, "He took the bedding? The bastard!"

The room is full of furniture covered with dust. Dust flew from the canopy bed as the curtain on the bed swung apart. The bed from which her husband was killed a few months after she died is bare. 'They must have taken the body away with the sheets.' No dust covers the bed as he stares at it.

"You do know, my lady, that you are no longer married to the bastard since he killed you," he whispers in her ear.

"He killed me," she pauses in thought. "Your right, he killed me." staring at the ground as the red started to fade.

"Until death does us part." She whispers, staring at the bed. "He killed me, your right, he killed me." As her head turns up to him and she smiles.

A cold chill ran down his spine.
