CHAPTER EIGHT
Naya began to walk briskly to the strange man and before she could even get to where he was, she heard him say in a domineering voice.
“Stop right there!” He ordered in a very cold voice that her feet remained rooted to the ground.
How did he even see her? Because he was looking outside obviously enjoying the scenery outside the window.
She saw him puff out smoke in his mouth as he asked again.
“What are you doing here?”
Naya fumbled, not knowing how to even react. She had lost her voice and couldn’t speak. She only came to ask for directions from this man, but he wasn’t even looking at her.
“Are you deaf?” He grunted and the next minute he was in front of her.
Naya was so scared that she fell to the ground. How come he was so fast? He was sitting at the window just a while ago but he just sped to where she was.
What sort of a creature could move so fast? Because she’d definitely never heard of that before.
“What’s your name and what the f*ck are you doing here?” He asked again and Naya slowly stood up from the ground.
Intimidated by his presence. He was the most good-looking man she had ever seen, his dark red hair made him look so handsome. And above all, he was truly scary.
‘ Naya ‘ She showed him the notepad, which contained her name.
“Naya… ” Her name rolled out from his tongue.
” So you’re mute.. ” he pointed out.
” Then I guess you must have lost your senses along with your hearing.. ” he added to her dismay as he spoke with a sneer.
” It appears that you’re so stupid that you don’t know what to do or where to be at the right time. Come I’ll show..” he was about to hold her wrist when Naya slapped his hand away.
” Don’t touch me… ” She whispered and she suddenly wore a shocked expression on her face. Did she just speak?
” What did you say? ” He asked with furrowed brows. Anger etched on his face.
‘You must have your voice but I see you have lost your senses as well… ” Naya said. Now this place was becoming a real mystery to her.
She had not been able to speak to the other but this incredibly good-looking rude man just brought words out of her mouth, though her voice was very low and her throat began to hurt her.
” Huh? ”
‘ You have lost your senses and your ethics as well. Who smokes on a window top?’ She demonstrated using sign language this time, anger coursing through her veins.
The man in front of her looked shocked and speechless. That was definitely the first time he was tongue-tied. But he seemed to understand her quite well.
‘I wanted to ask for directions, but I guess I’ll find my way myself..’ she rolled her eyes and was about to walk away when he suddenly dragged her back by her hair.
“No one leaves when I’m not done and stop playing with fire young lady..” he warned, gritting his teeth.
‘ And you should also stop playing with fire. Wait till I tell Lord Vlad that a guard was smoking in such a secluded place like this and then get ready to receive your punishment from Lord Rhys ‘ she threatened. Her thoughts were that he was just a common guard, who came to this kind of place to do something bad.
“Lord Rhys, Vlad? Guard..” he repeated with a questioning tone then he realized something.
“Now I know that you have definitely lost your brains. I’m going to teach you a very good lesson today..”
‘ Teach yourself a lesson and do something useful with your pathetic life. Rather than smoking it away. Wait till I bring Lord Vlad here ‘ Her words seemed to have angered the strange man a lot.
She didn’t even know who he was, she had been angry for a long time and he was the only one who she could pour out her anger on.
No one spoke to her and she was lost and commuting with a rude man.
“You should take a look at your tattered self in the mirror. You know you stink right?” He raised a brow at her.
Naya, who was tired already, showed him her two middle fingers and she stomped her foot away.
… .
Naya was still wandering about when someone grabbed her by her elbow.
“Here you are?” The person said, holding her elbow and Naya looked up to see an unfamiliar face.
She was a maid.
“Where have you been?” She asked.
” You just disappeared. You should learn to stay in play unless you don’t want Jennet’s trouble. She can be very hard to deal with. It’s best to stay away from her troubles.. ” she advised.
” I’m Keira.. ” she introduced herself and Naya shook her head slowly.
” I know you’re Naya. Everyone has been talking about the mute girl who has been assigned to take care of Lord Rhys meals… ”
” You know I really pity you a lot… ” Keira began as they both walked together.
” Many people want to be in your position but many people don’t. You see, we humans are very vulnerable when it comes to the vampires. Especially when they use us as meals… ” Keira stated and NaYa’s eyes widened at the mention of vampires.
So the men were vampires after all? She had heard a lot about them from her father. The night Keira shook her head sadly. “It’s not that simple. The vampires are very powerful and they have a lot of control over the humans. They can make them do things they don’t want to do. And even if the
“So you should be very careful..” Keira advised.
Keira shook her head sadly. “I know that It’s not that simple but the vampires are very powerful and they have a lot of control over the humans. They can make them do things they don’t want to do. And Even if the humans tried to fight back, they would be no match for the vampires’ strength and powers. Plus, there are many humans who are loyal to the vampires and will do anything to please them. So just be careful and do well to avoid the Lord. You don’t want to anger him.. ”
“I’ll show you to the maid quarters, where you’ll shower and have a change of clothes. Also..” Keira paused as she turned to face Naya who stopped working as well.
“I wonder how we’ll both communicate since you’re mute. Have you been like this since birth?” Keira asked curiously as Naya shook her head.
“I see. It’s so sad to lose one voice. About communicating, we’ll look for a way to do that… ” she smiled warmly at Naya, who felt like she had finally found a friend.
‘ Do you understand sign language?’ Naya demonstrated, hoping for a positive reply.
” I see you’re trying to use sign language. I understand only a little. Come on, we’ll look for a way. Now let’s get you freshened up..” Keira stated as they both walked away.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
