Lara went under the bed. There was a secret drawer close to the floor of the bed. She opened it with the letter combinations and drew it open and searched for something with her fingers as she kept a close look on the door. She grabbed a key and rushed to the cupboard and unlocked it.
She opened a small case and took out a pair of glasses and put them on then closed the cupboard. She dragged the lifeless body of the guard into the back secret door. The room was dark. She reached for a table lamp and turned it on.
There were photos in a frame kept on the floor and some hanging on the walls. It looked old with cobwebs on them. It had the photos of wedding pictures, some ladies with some guys. Lara continued to avoid looking at those pictures as she dragged the dead body into an inner room.
There was a stack of dead bodies lying there. She dropped the guard's lifeless body there as she stretched herself and got out of the room. There were weird voices in the room but she just ignored them as she walked further. She got out of the secret room and pushed the cupboard back into its position.
She returned the glasses into the cupboard and locked it up then returned the keys to where she had previously taken it from. She dusted her hands and cleaned up the room. Taking a look at Lucy, she laid her well to make it look like she was sleeping.
She left the room after locking it and headed for some unknown place. She got into a large hall which was dark as she prostrated on the floor.
"Good evening master." She greeted some invisible person as the room was completely dark.
"Where is she?" Some calm and sweet voice came through in the room. The voice sounded so cool and seducing rather than some hoarse voice which was expected to be heard.
"She's been sleeping for hours. I think she is sick." Lara said to the person she called master.
"Bring her to me. Where is the guard that I asked you to come along with?" The master asked her again.
"He left, master." Lara lied to the master.
"You may leave. I'll come and see her myself tonight." The master said to her.
"Will you spend the night with her?" Lara asked as she tried to look up with her head bowed to the floor.
"That's not your business. Get my sleeping arrangements ready in her room." The master said to Lara.
"Yes master." Lara said to the master.
"You may leave." He said to her and she turned around and left.
Lara had a worried look on her face after she got out of the large and dark hall. She went to the bedroom of the master to get his sleeping things. The room was large and magnificently decorated.
Lara took his sleeping things and closed the door gently behind her. She went back to Lucy's room and began to dress the bed again. She changed the sheets and put in a room scent to make the room have a nice scent.
Lucy was still deep asleep as Lara thought because of the gills that she had on her neck which was moving.
She casted another look at Lucy. She didn't know what to do. She was worried that the master would find out about her. Lucy thought of lying about it but she was worried that he must have observed her before bringing her there.
Midnight was approaching and exactly at 12:00 am, there was a knock on the door. Lara went to get it and the master was at the door. He wore a long cap which covered his face. He had such a good composure as he walked into the room with steps. Lara followed him behind with her head bowed.
"How long has she been sleeping?" The master asked her.
"For six hours master." Lucy lied to him without any fear of getting caught.
"And what did you say was wrong with her?" The master asked her again.
"I don't really know sir…" Lara stammered her words to the master as he turned to look at her. He went closer to the bed and sat down on the bed edge. He felt her temperature on her forehead with his two fingers. He put his fingers on her neck to check her pulse.
"Get me the doctor." The master ordered.
"I don't think there will be any need for that master. Maybe she's just tired…" Lara said to the master. He turned to look at her and took off his cap. His facial features were stunning. His beauty could make any girl go crazy. He had long black hair which the edges were curled and plaited inwards.
His beards were carved beautifully. His lips were red like he had just taken some berries. He was so stunning and Lara stared into his face then he blinked at her and she regained her composure and looked away.
"What were you saying again?" He asked her. She knew she wasn't supposed to answer this question otherwise, she would only invoke his anger and wrath at such a deadly hour. She bowed her head and took a few steps backwards then left the room. He turned his neck and looked at Lucy who laid there motionless.
He reached for her fingers under the blanket. He took up her hand in his and carefully laid it back on the bed. He touched her belly which was covered with the blanket as he closed his eyes and moved downwards to her waist then he stopped.
His eyes were still closed as he breathed in deeply then he released his breath. Using his other hand, he removed the blanket from beneath and reached for her feet. He touched them gently as he rubbed each of her toes.
