Chapter 33

Katherine gazed at the sky, a smile plastered on her lips. she wasn't sleepy at all and seem far from it. so she was thinking of walking out of the building maybe sitting at one corner, while counting the stars in the sky she would catch sleep. She rubbed her arms from the cold. she was told to put on the maids attire only.

" 55, 56, 57, 58 .... 80 81-" Katherine words were cut short by an interruption, making her lose count of the number she have noted. her faced raised to see at the person standing beside her.

" wanting to be sacked on first day of work " Sirius voice deadpanned.

" Milord " Katherine stood immediately." I will just head inside, never knew staying out may lead to being fired, I was just a little out of sleep. she said and Sirius noticed a disappointment on her fragile face.

" follow me " Sirius said leaving Katherine confused as to why he was not leading her in but out. she quickly hurried to catch up-to him, trailing behind. Kathie couldn't see quiet well due to the dark and not wanting to trip, she reduced her pace of walking.

As she walked she had not expected Sirius to stop walking which made her head to bang onto his back, which seems really hard as rock. " Aaaah " Katherine flinched at the impact with a frown. she rubbed at her forehead with her hand.

" I didn't know you grew to be clumsy " she heard him mutter. " sure you ain't sleeping??"

oh my why would she be sleeping and walking, sure the lord was saying in that sarcasm. she saw him turn around to face her as if to check if she have already slept away. Katherine forehead were red from her constant stroke on it. '' I am much awake, I didn't know you will be stopping " Katherine said with her hand on her head, not because it was still hurting. she craned her neck to look up at him due to his taller height. " Are we going somewhere my lord?" she asked.

" sleepy already?" he questioned back and she shook her head as sleep was far from her eyes. maybe she wasn't yet comfortable to sleep in a place that is not her home and have not yet adapted to it, that is the only excuse she could make. She saw the lord's gaze fall on her forehead where her hand was placed which shifted to look around him. He always did that as if he was cautious of his surrounding.

" I wanted to have you meet someone that might interest you but you ain't ready" his voice calmly said after shifting back to her." Go to sleep."

It was very dark with only the sound of trees howling, chirping of the cricket and hooting of owl. looking at the lord it doesn't seem like he was joking, he was really the strangest. To meet someone this night and he also said interest her, in as much she felt scared of him in some occasions when his creepiest side unraveling, she wanted to walk around a bit.

" I am not a bit sleepy sir " Kathie said and her hand came to drop to her side. the lord never spare a word at her hitting her head. " is it someone I might know?" Sylvia blue eyes stared unabatedly at him. His long raven black hair was combed back and his sharp defined nose gave away a shadow to the left side of his nose.

" someone you very much know but over years ago " he turned back walking fast and Katherine followed. He walked into a carriage. Even though it was dark she could sense it was rich red in colour.

They sat at the carriage before it started to move away to the gate. It was surprising who was riding the carriage if the person sleeps in the Carriage. " Are we going somewhere far? " Katherine asked and he hummed. The lord love going somewhere at nights, it made her wonder if he love night and day. was it fate she was seeing the lord again also sitting on his carriage. some thought that ran on her mind was kept to herself.

" How have you been " she heard the lord ask. Katherine found it strange for a highly person like him to ask of her wellbeing. Before she could reply he interrupted. " grown to know what thought that should be said out and what not huh little girl."

Her eyes widened in realization, not wanting it to be true. " Can you read minds sir?" Her sister always told her to not say everything on her mind.

" words are more to be true than minds, as in mind you analyse but words are result so I find it irrelevant to read mind" he said calmly, tilting his head to have a better view at her. so he could read her mind if he want goodness he find it irrelevant.

" Do you have love for night walks'' Katherine asked.Her hands held each other and on her laps.

" let put it as like. in my dictionary love is blood" he said with a little pull in his lips. Katherine could only imagine what a blood maniac he must be.

" Sir are you saying in all your years of living just blood and won't ever love anything else? nothing? " Katherine asked unsure.

he smiled what look like not a smile." of course girl" he said.
