He turned to look at her. her hands were clutched to her head as she winced. He looked around before walking to her.
" Don't even think of falling talk less of passing out" she continued clutching onto her head. Humans were indeed weak. Goodness she wouldn't pass out and have him carry her to the quarters.
When she saw her sanity coming back once again she realized her hands. " Am famished, tired and weak '' she uttered in a low voice.
" Try to walk to this carriage Katherine." He pointed to her a royal blue carriage. she shook her head.
" Don't you want to eat?" she nodded.
Katherine climbed into the carriage and Sirius followed after. Everything was rotating to her but she was sure she saw this particular coachman again running to them.
" Take us to the inn." he said and pascal immediately climbed in moving the horses. Katherine held felt so light so she placed it at the far end where the window was, but each time it slid away and she tried to keep it back. Sirius watched her struggling to keep her head in order but each time it slid away. He knew his shoulder was the safer place to have her lay her head but he didn't want it especially when he was far more of status that her.
" place you head on my shoulder " he said patting his right shoulder. He has actually reached his peak of uncomfortable to have her struggling like that. she was just a sweet little girl it wouldn't make any difference, he thought.
Katherine felt hesitant at first at it wasn't right for a maid like her to do that. But she was too weak and decided to do it. There she felt awkward at first but eventually became comfortable as she snuggled to his shoulder. Her savior was he.
Sirius stiffened when she snuggled in to his shoulder. Fuck what is she doing. he cursed.
when he looked down at his shoulder he saw her laying there with her eyes closed. Her cheeks were pink and mouth a little parted. she looked beautiful and too innocent at the same time. A piece strands of hair lay on her face. He moved his hand momentarily to shift them away from her face but stopped mid air. silly what was he about to do. Sirius straightened his back to look forward and he heard her mutter some incoherent words.
" Master we are in the nearest inn" The coachman announced.
He looked down at her. was she sleeping. "Katherine get up " he said but instead it look like she just snuggled. "oh shit! don't tell me you slept over." he tapped her hand on her cheeks to wake her and her eyes snapped, revealing its blueness. she quickly moved away as if she just committed a grave sin
" I am sorry " Katherine apologized as she hadn't gotten herself. She couldn't believe she just slept at the lord's shoulder.
The coachman opened the door for him and let her fend for herself. When the lord was out she tried to follow him but the coachman stopped her with his hand blocking her. " let me am with the lord" she said to the coachman who looked furious. He couldn't Believe his master was getting entangled with this mere servant for over five years secretly and he didn't like it.
" You ain't allowed to be beside master this is public can't you see. " he glared at her. oh God she was feeling dizzy now thanks to the coachman.
" Milord!" she tried to call the lord who has already walked out of her sight. Damn it! was she going to just sit in there.
" Do you think calling the lord will change anything, you better stay away from the lord, your status went no half to his" He sternly and strictly trying to shoo her back inside but she have heard enough.
" if you don't get the hell out of my way" she wobbled on her knee, immediately holding onto the Carriage door.
" Pascal are you holding her, leave her now" The coachman eyes narrowed when he heard his master telepath the message to his ear. He walked out of her way and the woman looked at him puzzled at first before glaring at him. She walked away from the carriage trying to not pass out, she looked at the inn's direction and saw the lord sitting at one of the seat. He was the only one seen in the inn as it was already midnight and only the chirping of the cricket and howling of the trees could be heard.
Katherine walked to his table with wobbled steps. she held on to the table before sitting down. Just that moment the waitress came with a trolley of foods before placing them on the table. The meal was so appetizing that her mouth began to drool, without notice she was chunking down the food like a crazy person.
When Katherine was almost in the mid of finishing the whole trolley of food she felt her belly full making her raise her head to look at the lord in realization. " Sorry I was so hungry, I forgot you would be eating as well"
" who said so?" he gave a a twinkle smile that got one of his dimples revealed. " Eat as much as you want cause I will be eating from you later." His hand was supporting his face as it was placed under his jaw staring at her.
Her eyes widened, she looked as if being choked on the neck. He let out a chuckle. Katherine quickly took hold of the water to gulp in.
" You are still after my blood" she asked her eyes praying for it not to be true.
" of course I am. '' he said casually as if it wasn't a big deal." You are quite a glutton " his eyes fell on the almost finished plate." I wouldn't judge you, maybe you are a food addict"
He just judged her didn't he. " I haven't eaten normally for almost half a month in," she swallowed the rest of her words. Katherine ate the rest of the food as this maybe her last time eating a food like this. " Thank you" she said with a slight bow. " you just blessed my day"
" Now time to go back " he said and then his hand stretch, skipping her heart before it went back to normal
