The Maxwell House Part 8
The Forgotten Son
 (Drake)
It took about an hour of navigating the expansive grounds of the Crimson Castle but soon Maria had snuck around all the guards and was standing in an empty entrance hall. Maria started walking towards the voices she heard far off into the distance. She ended up walking into a large dark room decorated in red and black like most of the castle.
The room had a long table sitting in the middle of it. chairs extended the length of the table each one filled with a different extremely well dressed vampire. all the vampires in the room had silver hair and papery white skin except for Kara and Maria.
Maria fell too her knees and bowed her head. "I apologize for interrupting your meeting Lady Kara.... Elders."
Everyone in the room eyed Maria curiously. Kara growled, frustrated and bored with the meeting. She immediately ordered Daniel to remove Maria from her sight...Which in fact was exactly what Maria wanted. She quickly stood up and brushed her white dress off. Daniel took her arm and pulled her out of the meeting room. Daniel pulled Maria into an empty study and pushed her into a chair.
"What did Drake do to make you come all the way here?" Daniel said his eyes full of concern but his voice was stone solid.
Maria looked down at her hands suddenly extremely nervous. "well... I...um....It's just that...." eventually Maria explained everything to Daniel in one long sentence. She explained how she cared for Drake very much and to see him so upset caused her great pain, she she came to the Crimson Castle to try and understand why Drake was so upset with Daniel.
Daniel sighed and sat down. "There is a long but simple explanation for why Drake hates me so... when we where growing up my parents always treated me better. I was the first son, I got better marks in school, and was overall more talented. Not the Drake didn't have his skills... he was a skilled prankster and mischief maker. Of course these talents of his where never smiled upon... One day Drake in I got in a very violent fight on my 15th birthday... Drake was only 13... it had something to do with proving himself... father disowned him, saying he was a disgrace to the family, mother tried to reason with father but he wouldn't hear it... Thus Drake was sent to the Forgotten family branch...separated from the family and soon becoming a distant memory to our parents." Daniel sighed and went silent.
The room stayed silent for several minutes and then Maria spoke. "You didn't do anything...you didn't try and stop it...only your mother tried...you let him get abandoned...You may of been the perfect son but you where no brother..." Maria said in a poisonous voice. she stood up and pushed past Daniel. Ready to leave the castle even though she has just gotten there.
