Chapter 4 - Servitude

Walking in silence, I feel like as if there is something that is going to happen. Darkness started to fall, and the bustling streets began to clear, but the liveliness didn't. Rows of light flooded the road. Still holding onto Marcus's coat, I looked down on the ground. Looking back up at me is my kitty its small body frail but not boney seemed cautious. Letting go of his coat, I grabbed my kitty.

Stroking the cat's fur, I looked at Marcus and decided to ask the questions that are on my mind. "So why do you need me?" Without looking at me, he answered, "Since you live in a small shack, and nobody wants you from the look of it. I figured you would be better off helping me." "So you need me for services?" "Yes." "What kind to be exact?" "Curious aren't you?" "Just answer my questions alright." "Will you answer mine?" "..." "Well?" "I will answer to the best of my ability. So will you answer my question?" "What was your question again?" Shaking my head, I was surprised by the change of the atmosphere. "My question? I was wondering what i will be doing." "Well, your job is going to be simple help me with my situation, clean, cook, and help take care if my son." "What is your job?" Patting my head, he looked down on me and replied, "I am an adventurer." "Eh?"

Seeing my reaction, Marcus laughed and removed his hand from my head. "Don't worry you won't be going with me on dangerous missions." 'I'm in not worried about that I'm just surprised adventurers exist. Back to the main topic.' "What will I be doing then?" "You will help me dismantle the prey for me and a few other things." 'You're not specific.' "Is it alright if you sign me up to become an adventurer? I can gather herbs and other things while you fight and then I can dismantle the kill." Genuinely surprised by that idea, he patted my head and said, "That is a smart idea, little missy. Oh yeah, are you able to manage to ride a carriage?" Stopping in front of an inn I shook my head, "I don't know I have never been outside of the estate until you took me." "Really?" "Yeah..." Patting my head, he laughed and said, "Then I have a lot to teach you about this world." Once inside three men walked forward and started to talk to Marcus.

"Marcus where have you been?" "Yeah, man one moment you were with us the next you were gone." The third man covering his face only grunted in agreement. Looking down all the men saw me, and i bowed. "Guy's meet our new little helper." The two talkative men both shouted at the same time. "What?" Looking at the men, I decided that i am too tired for an introduction. "My name us Abigail Marcus will tell you everything, but I am going to be helping you guys on missions." Looking at Marcus i grunted and said simply, "Is it right if I turn in for the night? We can introduce ourselves tomorrow when they know what is going on." Nodding his head, Marcus handed me a key that had the numbers 17 on it walking away I headed towards the room not looking back.
