"What took you long" Mrs Aubrey said, she was seated on a plush velvet cushion of one on massage my shoulders they really hurt." she said looking back at the journal in her hand.

Meanwhile Katherine went to massage the lady's shoulder. " Can you weave a scarf." she said.

" Yes mistress" she said stroking the woman's shoulders.

" I bought some wools, Sirius like black colours, I will need your help in weaving them" she heard Mrs. Aubrey.

" I think it would be nice for the cold weather" She continued to stroke the woman's shoulders.

**************

Twilight was fast to approach, with the people of Groovighting walking back to their homes and some walking to their opposite destination. The weather was cold and heavy rain could be seen falling, some muddy ground washing through its soil and moving to the river bank.

" Katherine haven't written,I knew she would quickly forgot us once she moves to that Groovington of a place.'' Esther said in a grimaced expression.

" mother they might be a complication there, why don't we write her instead" Steve said and Evelyn nodded her head knowing not to voice out words. they were seated in the sitting room.

" I dare u not mention that!! nobody writes for her in this house and am sure I quite made my self clear!!" Esther shunned before walking away, leaving Steve and Evelyn standing there worried.

There was a knock on the door and Claire ran out from the inner room before the two could reach the door, she opened it.

" Father!!!" Claire called in joy engulfing him in her embrace. " miss you so much." Evelyn and Steve joined as well to greet him.

" We thought you would be probably staying there." Steve taunted to be only smacked in the head by his father. shortly Esther stepped out, happy to see her husband. She hugged him as well and Reuben wounded his arm round her shoulders. " its good to see you Esther." He whispered to his wife.

When they pulled away, his family ushered him to have a seat. " I can't see Katherine is she probably inside. " he said in a concern tone staring at them for an answer but when he got non, he smiled and shook his head. " Katherine can be stubborn at times, is she angry with me, so child-like"

"Stop it father you always seem emotional about Katherine only, worried about her when we worry about you!!" Claire angrily stomped off in anger banging the door.

" Steve go after your sister." Esther said to his son Steve, Evelyn went along with them.

" Katherine found a nice job for her self." Esther said to his husband. she took a seat opposite to him.

*****************

Aubrey sat on a cushion chair of the sitting room along Katherine who sat on the floor weaving on the wool. It was almost midnight as she sat there beside the vampiress. Katherine raised her right hand to wipe the sweat that was dripping her face.

" Don't tell me you got no stamina at all, we have to be done within two days."A little smile appeared on her face as if recalling something. Ever since she came to work here it's been hell for her really is this life as a maid or is hers different.

They heard a sharp footstep making Mrs Aubrey face to crease, with the thought it was Sylvia again. As the footsteps continued to echo Mrs Aubrey became more curious while kathetrine concentrated on her knit.

Not a minute later a tall man who had a cloak on could be seen.His broad shoulders were facing the back as he continued to walk with his sharp black shoes.

" Sirius is that you? " Mrs Aubrey asked. The man slowly whirled to them.Katherine who heard Mrs Aubrey raised her head up to see a man with a cloak on.

He pulled of his hoody to review his pale animated set of strong sharp jawline face where eyes were pairs of silver, with the long thick black hair which came to rest on his back. Sometimes she wondered if Sirius was the Donovan legitimate son. He was a very handsome man not that it isn't possible for someone to give such birth but his pairs of eyes which were quite different.

He started stroking towards them, each step majestically as if he was counting his step or some kind of modelling show.

" Mother what calls you awake this late hmm" He said bending to kiss his mother cheek.

" Your mother have been making you some scarf you know, special scarf." Mrs Aubrey said with a beam and Sirius rolled his eyes at her.

" You know we can just buy outside."

" Have I told you, you are my favorite child. " Mrs Aubrey said and Sirius gave him a dimpled smile. He flipped his watch, what he has always done.

" I shall be having an appointment."he said giving a concern look to his watch.

" But Sirius we have some old clothes and furnitures that are no more on fashion, shouldn't we have them given to some homes rather than have them burnt." Aubrey said as she waited for her son response.

" okay as you wish, I will be le-"

" Katherine go show the lord the clothes and funitures." Mrs Aubrey instructed her maid. Sirius eyes momentraly shifted to look at Katherine for the first time. He never noticed her presence, only his mother with a wool and spoke. She placed her hand on the floor to push herself up to stand, she was sweating and looked all tired each time rubbing her face.

" Is your maid helping you" he asked, and Katherine came to stand beside him before bowing her head. She started leading him back upstairs where he think it was the big hall store room.

Katherine pulled out a key from her pocket before rummaging through it for the right one and each time it jingled.

" Katherine are you taking your sweetest time" She heard from behind. sweat continued to drip from her face, as she haven't mastered the key. " Step aside" he said and Katherine quickly handed the keys to him. He took out one before cricking open the door. He stepped in, giving her some space to step in as well.

" This are the furnitures, the clothes I think are deeper inside.'' Katherine said walking more in.

" Everything are just as the same I wonder what mother wanted me to see, so silly. " His eyes fell on the woman. " Hey why are you sweating." His boredom eyes immediately ignited with curiosity.

'' Thanks to you Milord, I have been loosing stamina, I might just loose a breath one-day to collapse and die. " She said although she wasn't facing him, but the other direction, he could imagine her expression.

" You will soon die one day isn't that, just know I will give you a well befitting burial" There was a pause from him and then. " once that happens."

Katherine balled her hands furiated, she whirled to him. " Are you wishing for my death Mr. Sirius Donovan."

He smirked devilishly and his side eye crinkled. " Such authority words Kathie, why don't you call me Sirius instead? "

" I think we should walk deeper now, look like you have got a better look at the furniture." Katherine changed the topic, taking as long steps as she could, when she reached the cloth residence, she saw no trace of Sirius. Katherine waited for a while and when she still didn't find any trace of him she turned to leave. As she drew closer and closer she heard some voice. Sirius voice and some other voice. A woman voice.
