A Deal with the Devil (Silva Zoldyck)

Part 2

A couple of hours later Silva felt the young girl stir in his arms and slowed down his running, they were not for from Kukuroo Mountain and he had hoped he could make it home before she woke, but that was not possible now that she was starting to wake.

Suddenly her eyes flew open, he could feel her tense op readying herself to attack.

"You have nothing to fear young one,it is just me. I am taking you home, there is no need to be frightened. I will not harm you" Silva hurried to reassure her. Hereyes focused on him and her body slowly started to relax. It suddenly occurred to him that he didn't know her name.

"What is your name young one?"

She looked down in shame before answering.

"I was called Devil child for as long as I can remember, if I had a name before that I do not know it"

Silva studied her for a moment and decided to do something about the shame he saw in her face, not having a name was nothing to be ashamed of in his opinion.

"There is nothing wrong with not having a name, and personally I think you should take it and make ityour own"

She looked at him in confusion so he explained.

"You could be Devil Zoldyck from now on, the little devil from the Zoldyck family sounds nice"

She thought it over for a while before nodding decidedly.

"I like it" Devil said with enthusiasm "but what is an Zoldyck?"

"Zoldyck is my family name, I am Silva Zoldyck" Silva answered as he started running again "we will soon be at Kukuroo Mountain, where me an my family lives"

"Who is in your family and do you think they will like me?" Devil asked sounding rather nervous.

"I live with my father Zeno and my great grandfather Maha and I am quite sure they will like you, you did after all save me from bleeding out in the forest" Silva said sounding quite amused. Silva already knew his family would like her,she had saved him and she had an unique nen ability, something that was very useful in a family of assassins.

When Silva and Devil arrived at the gates they were greeted by the groundskeeper, Devil thought he looked like a very unassuming and kind man, but she was still wary of him.She had long since discovered not to judge a book by it's cover, so as he started approaching them she quickly hid behind Silva.

Silva quickly held up his hand to stop him and turned to her.

"There is nothing to be worried about Devil, this is Zebro he works for my family and will not hurt you"
