delivery man said as he handed Henry the package.
“ Thank you,” he said shutting the door after accepting the package. Henry hoped it would work, it was supposed to scare William. When he’d arrived at the Moore house, he was told not to go upstairs, that it was off limits. Henry’d found out that the mysterious Moore offspring was a female. One of the maids had told him that she’d arrived from boarding school yesterday.
That wa s information he and the rebels would use. He walked over to the intercom, the informative maid had shown him how to use it. He hit the sensor button to find William. He was in his study. Henry, thinking about the mystery daughter, wondered where she was. He pressed the sensor again, looking for her location. She was in her bedroom.
He pushed the call button for the study . “Mr. Moore, you have a package.” Bile rose in the back of his throat. He hated that he had to work for and be nice to the monster.
Henry sat the package on the table by the stairs, and then glanced at the intercom again. If he could get one look at her, he would know what would hurt William the most. He quickly moved to the intercom and pressed the call button.
“ More orders?” a sweet female voice said.
“ There is a package for you and your father,” he said and moved away from the intercom. He walked toward the small table by the stairs and waited. He would find out who the Moore girl was. He heard loud footsteps coming down the stairs and glanced up, it was William.
“ Where is-” a sweet voice asked from behind the large man.
Slowly , William turned around. “I thought I told you to stay in your room,” he said in a demanding voice.
Small bare feet were all he could see along with a silver anklet covered with little small charms. They were too far way, so Henry couldn’t make out what they were.
“ You know...I am not a child anymore, and I don’t like that you order me around like one,” her familiar voice said and he wanted so bad to see her face.
“ Jamie, I know you aren't a child, but you are still my daughter.”
Henry's heart dropped to his feet, Jamie . He knew he’d known the voice, and now he knew she was William's daughter. William turned toward Henry and glanced at the waiting package. It was too late now to back out of his plan, and he wouldn’t for some girl. Even if that girl made him think of his ever after, and made his heart race when the thought of her.
William Mooru kWilliame picke d up the package, took a silver pocket knife out of his back pocket and started to open it. Henry glanced up the stairs to see that Jamie had descended a couple of stairs. She was even more beautiful in the daylight, and her long red hair seemed brighter. Henry moved back a little so he was more in the shadows, he didn’t want Jamie to see him. He glanced at William as he heard the knife cut through the tape.
“ What...the hell?” William whispered, and then a scream filled the air. Jamie . “Get to your room now!”
Henry turned his attention back to Jamie .
She had gone pale, and she stepped closer to her father . “What is that?” She stood just behind her father “Oh my gosh! Is that...blood?” Jamie's voice trembled.
William looked at Henry . “Who the hell brought this?” he asked, anger dripping from his voice.
Jamie noticed him for the first time. Her mouth slowly dropped opened, and her sweet gaze was drawn to his Blue bracelet.
“ A delivery man, sir,” Henry responded, forcing his eyes away from Jamie and her shocked dark green eyes.
“ I’ll be right back,” William said, as he walked away holding the box.
As soon as her father was gone, Jamie looked at him as if her heart was breaking.
“ Jamie we should talk about this,” he whispered, but she didn’t do anything. She just stared at him, and closed her eyes. He watched her as her red hair shook, telling him no. “I can't,” she said softly.
Henry watched her run up the stairs with her anklet
