King Death

Chapter 48

Zero's POV

The small girl looked up at me but quickly lowered her head to look at the ground once she found my eyes.

"You can speak" I said not knowing how to go about calming somebody like her.

"I wanna thank, Um, you and the beautiful man for saving my life, I will serve you both well"

I widened my eyes and looked down at her.

"You don't have to serve us"

She looked up at me but still averted her eyes to the ground when I looked at her back.

"You guys are my new masters, I've only been trained to serve, it's all I know"

I stopped and walked next to each friend of mine in the group and pointed as I spoke.

"This is Lucifer, he is the one who saved you and this is his girlfriend Mara. You may go to her for anything and you may go to him for anything. This is drake. He does not remove his blind fold and he cannot see you however he can still see with his mind and hear with his hands and feet. This is Athan, he is a vampire and can come off as very scary but you can go to him for anything as well as his girlfriend Heaven. This is I, my name is Zero and this is my beautiful girlfriend Lauren, you may come to us for anything. And this is our newest friend Loki. You can go to Loki for anything. I just met his friend and her name is Moon"

The small slave girls eyes lit up once she heard the name.

"Yes, Moon is a friend of mine already. I used to sneak up to her room through the vents late at night"

"What's your name" I asked her as she sat in thought for a long time.

"I don't know my name master, my old masters just called me whore or slave"

"Zero, it's Zero darling" I said calmly.

Drake slowly walked over to the girl and smiled as he placed his hands on her face.

The small girl didn't make a sound but out of fear tears started running down her face.

Drakes smiled turned to a look of sorry. He wiped away her tears with his thumbs and smiled again.

"Atalie, it means pure. Do you want this name to be yours?" He asked as he put his face just a little closer to hers in order to hear her if she decides to only whisper.

"Speak up darling, cause I can see gestures or head movements I need words" he said calmly as she began to speak.

"Yes m m master, I like the name you have chosen for me" she said as she bowed her head to him.

"It's Drake, say it with me....Drake" he said as he waited for her to repeat his words.

"Drake" she said timidly as he smiled and tapped the top of her head.

Drake stood up tall again and spoke to all of us.

"It's going to take time for her to remember our names but just remind her of your name and make her say it every time she uses the name master to speak to any of us"

Lauren spoke out with a swiftness after he was done speaking.

"I think we need to go get her some clothes that fit her" she said as we all looked over at her.

"I have clothes at home that may fit her, they may be a little big but we are around the same size" said Moon who stood next to Loki.

"Do you still live in that little underground house?" He asked as he looked down at her with what I can only assume was love. He definitely has a sweet spot for her and it was honestly sweet watching.

"Yea, it's right around the corner" she said as she pointed in another direction.

"Alright lead the way" I said as I grabbed Lauren's hand and placed Atalie's hand in Lauren's.

We soon approached a giant willow tree with a hole right in the center.

She opened the door to the hole and started climbing down into the hole and we all followed behind until we were all standing on a soft rug at the bottom.

The place was small but we all fit inside. The walls were covered in art and nick nacks along with many shelves of books and small bottle potions and spells.

In the center of the room was a table with red silk pillows all around it and on the center of the table was a statue of the Goddess Frayja.

And in front of the statue was a bowl of what looked to be hard and expired honey.

Loki walked over to the golden bowl and scraped its contents out into the trash in one piece before walking it over to the sink and scrubbing away the rest of the old honey.

He acted as if being here was of second nature and this told me he was telling the truth about her being a great friend of his.

He washed the bowl clean and even shined it with his breath and the fabric of his shirt.

He went inside her cupboard and pulled out a jar of honey in which he poured into the bowl and placed it back in front of the statue.

"I offer this gift of honey to the goddess of love and war. Thank you for keeping my friend safe and thank you for allowing me to find her" he said as he bowed his head "so mote it be"

We all repeated the phrase as he lifted his head from its bow.
