Just the Maid

Chapter Nine- And... FIGHT!

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay!?" I heard a voice.

"Sir! Should we take him to a hospital?" Another voice. Way higher pitched.

A rustling, then I felt someone grab me. My hood was falling... But I can't grab it...

Suddenly, I fling open my eyes and jump out of my captors arms to a corner of the room, Spider-Manning a wall to the top of the corner, hiding from them.

I look down at whoever is on the floor. There's Canary and a strange, huge muscled, tall, long hair as white as snow, person. He was laughing.

"My son does the same thing, miss," the man said. Wait, MISS!? I checked my hood. It was off. Crap... Now my cover was blown.

I saw Gotoh run into the room as well.

"Sir! I heard a crash. Is everything all right?" he exclaimed.

"Yes, everything​ is going to be just fine," said the man. But he didn't look at Gotoh when he said it. He was looking at me.

"You can come down now. We won't bite," said the man.

I still didn't trust anybody here, but I jumped down anyway. Something about him made my instincts go on high alert. I slowly walked toward them, wary of their every move.

"Well well well... What do we have here?" The man crouched down in front of me and peered at me. Dang! He was so tall, when he crouched he was my height! I stepped back a step, just in case. He just laughed again.

"In case you don't know, I'm Silva Zoldyck, the head of my household," he said. So, he finally revealed who he was. I nodded.

"If you can beat an apprentice butler, do you think you could beat a high-ranking butler?" he asked. I twitched.

"Sir, what are you talking about?" Gotoh asked.

"Gotoh, I want you to fight with her." He stood up and faced him.

"But sir! She's only a little girl," he tried to explain.

Silva walked behind me and slammed his hand down onto my left shoulder. I winced under its might.

"Come on, Gotoh! If she can beat YOUR apprentice that you yourself trained, I think she'll be fine."

"If you think it's for the best sir, I won't act against your wishes. Where shall we fight?"

"Out in the training field."

"Yes sir. Miss, follow me." I started to follow him, but Silva held me tight.

"Wait. I want to first know your name," he ordered.

"It's... Sheri, sir," I said. He only laughed.

"No no! Your REAL name. You know we can tell if you're lying, correct?" I forgot about that...

"Katara, sir. Katara Dragoness," I replied. With that, he gave a grunt and let me go. I quickly followed after Gotoh. That man gives me the creeps!

"Oh! Don't you know that I'm coming too? I don't want to miss this!" Silva called to us. I turned a little pale at the thought of the mighty Silva Zoldyck watching me fight. I kept walking with Silva behind me. I could feel that he was watching my every move.

Suddenly, a shiver snaked up my spine and I looked all around me quickly. I didn't see anything, but I thought I saw a fleck of black hair around the corner. When we got to that point, I didn't see anything but hallway and doors. I tried to shrug off this feeling of being watched, but it wouldn't leave. It stayed with me all the way until we reached the field.
