At exactly 6:am, Brown stepped inside the Bloodsworth mansion. He looked exhausted, having looked for Penny around the country all through the night only for him to be informed by the Adkins Lawyers that she was with the madman.

"Did you find her?" Xavier asked his assistant who just walked in.

Mary sat beside her husband Barry as they both stared at the man right now. The triplet’s were beside their mother, each person in the room tired of searching, tired of calling.

Who in this country would dare hurt a Bloodsworth was what they each didn’t understand.

Mary was tired. She loved Penny so much, almost like her child, especially after hearing everything the young girl has been through. But she was tired.

Ever since that girls return, they have all not known peace anymore. It was one thing or another.

From bringing in a madman, to now disappearing with their guards. She still stand by her words that Penny was with the madman.

She had no idea what spell he has used on her, but she knew the girl was lost. It’s obvious she loved the madman, heaven will have to come down to separate both people.

"I found her sir." Brown said, after not being able to sleep all through the night.

"Then where is she?" Xavier asked looking behind the man. He has been worried all night.

"She’s with the mad Adkins heir boss. The lawyers called to tell and they said we all shouldn’t worry about her." Brown announced.

"What?" Xavier couldn’t believe his child had lied to him. This time, he would surely separate her from that boy for good.

"I knew it!" Mary snapped. That little slut had kept them all awake the entire night because she cannot close her God damned legs.

"I’m telling you Barry, that girl is gone. I don’t know what they gave to her or what spell they’ve placed on her." Mary spat.

"It’s alright mother. You don’t need all of these shouting your health is more important." Lio held his mother close.

"It’s not my fault Lio. Your sister is really troublesome. I don’t what hard life she’s had put there, this is totally unacceptable!" Mary said.

"Do not let this slide Xavier, she has to be taught a lesson." Mary continued.

"Yes that true. This is the time to execute what we talked about. She couldn’t even stay a week without that man, we cannot continue like this." Barry was the one to speak this time.

"Fetch her for me Brown." Xavier ordered. "Make sure you get her out of there and book the next flight to Neverland, she’ll be locked in my mansion there for at least a year." Xavier ordered.

He should have let things slide if she hadn’t lied. But she did. She lied to him.

"I’m afraid that will not be possible boss." Xavier paused to stare at the man. His eyes was blood shot right now.

"How dare you?" Kael spat.

"Miss Penelope is not only a Bloodsworth but also an Adkins. The Adkins lawyers had briefed everything to me this morning boss." Brown continued.

Xavier Bloodsworth was powerful, but when compared to the Adkins, he was nothing. No one could challenge them.

Everyone must have trampled on Dewitt Adkins before, but not his son. Osvaldo was of a different breed. He isn’t one to mess with.

"Miss Penny, owns everything belonging to the Adkins family by marrying the mad heir.

You cannot hide the successor away from the vault. Blood calls to gold. Those people will protect her with everything they got." Brown continued. Even if today would be his end, he was ready to end it all.

"This is what I meant by they were inseparable. I’m afraid we had found Miss Penny too late and she has signed her life to the Adkins wealth." Brown announced.

"We cannot take her away from them boss, but it’s a good thing isn’t it. We can at least tap a little from them. We all know how powerful the Adkins family are. With the heir rising again..."

"Nonsense!" Xavier barked.

He had seen that mad boy, he had seen how ruthless he could be. He would never let his child be with that boy.

"We’re talking about a madman here Brown. What good can come out of that?" Mary asked

"Well it seems you’ve got the wrong information. Or are you working for the Adkins now?" Barry asked and Brown raised his hands up immediately.

"I would never do that. I can never betray my master like that. I got a call from them because they felt like Xavier will not listen when they speak. They said miss Penelope is an Adkins now, it cannot be changed. She’s the only one that can tame their master." Brown explained.

"That’s a lie. No one can tame a mad person. He should be sent to the mental asylum." Mary said. She had no idea why anyone would deliberately want to leave with a mad person.

She was terrified herself just seeing him around.

"You’ve seen it before master." Brown turned to his boss. According to what he heard, Osvaldo had only stopped beating that man when Penny called him.

He was back to his senses at the sound of her voice. Even his madness recognize his Penguin. The only human he was gentle with.

"It doesn’t matter. Who knows one day his brain might kick, and he might kill my child." Xavier said.

"I need to speak to you privately boss. There is more to the story than meet the eyes." Xavier stared at his assistant. This man is really stupid if he things his little story telling can make him change his mind.

He cared less if Penny was not an Adkins. Whatever contract she signed was a mistake and he is here to correct it.

When Xavier reached his study, Brown stepped in too. The situation was tight.

He understood his boss, but there was nothing they could do now. Penelope is an Adkins now. She’s the wife of Osvaldo Adkins, there was no going back with that.

Even she cannot break that spell, unless Osvaldo wants to.

"I know you’re upset boss, but..."

"There must be a way to save my child." Xavier interupted.

"The only way out is death." Brown said. "Either people must die." Brown said calmly hoping his boss would listen.

"Then it’s settled. I’ll kill the madman and free my child."_"

"I don’t care if I end up in prison. Or if I lose my life in the process. I have seen that man do unspeakable things Brown. I cannot let my child spend a night in that house anymore." He added.

"The mad heir hurt that man because he was one of the people who killed his mother on the great blood night." Brown finally said and Xavier paused.

Everyone in all of Owlsgrave knew of the ’Great Blood Night’, it was the day the hunters had killed the Adkins family. But no one knew exactly who had done it.

They were masked men according to the report they got. Those men had wiped an entire generation down that night. No one knew how Darlington had survived or how Osvaldo had survived.

"What do you mean?" Xavier asked and Brown went on to explain. He had said everything the Adkins lawyers had told him. He didn’t want to say this part of the story before the rest of the family.

The battle line has been drawn and the Adkins army are finally awaken. Something Dewitt had avoided for years.

Owlsgrave has not been painted red. This is a kill on sight battle and Osvaldo is not ready to stop just yet.

He has prepared for this day for years, memorizing the faces of the people that had killed his parents and ended his happiness whereby cursing his father everyday for being so soft.

One thing people failed to know, was, you can never hurt a child. They never forget, and will always come back to hunt you. They never forgive and must get their revenge one way or another.

Yes, children are the sweetest. They’re so innocent and full of life, but they’re dangerous and Osvaldo Adkins hasn’t grown from being a child.

He was ready to play with them like his toys. He was ready to have fun.

Xavier moved around his office, his steps slow and calculative. The Adkins heir wasn’t useless afterall. No wonder he barely speaks.

He had seen how evil the boy was that day. How easy it was for him to control his innocent daughter. And Penny just kept falling for his tricks like a little lost animal.

"This is even a more reason why I should get my daughter, before she gets aught up in his madness." Xavier said.

The hunters were not ordinary men. And they now know, the mad heir is alive.
