Dylan looked at Kathy like she was an alien
" Pet name? Seriously." Dylan said
" But I don't like the name anyway, I'm not a cat!" Kathy said firmly then she looked at the guard and hid behind Dylan." Your sister told him to beat me up." she reported.
Dylan attention went back to the guard . He walked up to him Kathy following behind him.
Dylan touched his head taking the memory of when he heard Dylan from Kathy. He would have killed him but right now the king was looking for him killing him wouldn't work out right . Besides the little human was here anyway. That made him halt couldn't he kill in front of her!
" Your highness." The guard said bowing down." Um... Princess Serena said I should stroke her only twenty times." He said shakily
" Twenty why only twenty?" Dylan asked
" Only twenty times, why not make it two million." Kathy said outraged before she processed what Dylan had said.
" You'll be kind enough to take the punishment for her won't you?" Dylan asked and smiled
" Huh.... Um..." The guard didn't know what to say. Luckily for Dylan prince Damian did have his own reputation anyway
" Won't you?" Dylan asked again more calmly making the guard short of breath. When prince Damian grew calm he always meant business
" Yes." The guard was in a pickle princess Serena or prince Damian both weren't good options . He was in trouble
" Then it's settled." Dylan said and left the place taking Kathy with him
Kathy sighed with relief still clinging to Dylan as she saw them reaching light . Soon they got out of the place, she followed Dylan like a moth.
" Little cat ...."
" Don't call me little cat , that's not my name." Kathy said annoyed
" How about just cat " Dylan suggested
" I'm not a cat." Kathy maintained then she gasped. " My maids." She made to go back
" You're only encouraging me to kill them." Dylan words halted her
" Why?" She asked
" Because you act like this, now if you'll be a good little cat I'll keep them safe." He said while Kathy glared at him
" Where are they?" Kathy asked
" Depends on how you behave , they could be six feet under any second. Or they could be in a laver pit buried under steaming grime, or they could be slowly boiling ." Dylan said and Kathy gasped
" What! Laver pit, how dare you ! My poor maids " Kathy cried
" If you want I'll give them a die in peace kinda death, maybe eternal slumber." Dylan said. Kathy eyes widened
" You were there the whole time , yet you didn't come save me." Kathy said angrily
" I didn't realize that I was supposed to gain attention in that crowd just to save you.
"I didn't risk becoming the center of that screaming mob for anyone. And I don't do fairy tales or knights in shining armor." Dylan said, his face a mask of cold indifference, eyes glinting like a blade in the shadows.
Kathy whimpered at his statement
" Thanks for nothing." Kathy said
Dylan moved on but she remained where she was. He sighed and went back to her
" What is it?" He asked harshly
" I'm not going anywhere unless you bring my maids to me." Kathy tried to be stubborn
"Really?" His lips curled faintly, but his eyes were ice. "That hollow snake isn't far. I could guide it straight to you… and I wouldn't hesitate."
Kathy eyes widened at the statement , ran ahead making Dylan smirked he followed after her. After some Kathy's pace slowed down so she could match up to Dylan pace.
" Dylan." Kathy called
" Dylan?" He said looking at her deadly
" There's no one here, if there were you'd kill them." Kathy said
" You wouldn't mind me killing people." He asked curious
" Does my opinion matter?" Kathy asked
" Good point. But if it where to matter would you approve." Dylan asked somewhat curious
" No I wouldn't approve. There's nothing anyone wants more than to be alive like me, why would I approve of anyone dying." Kathy said
" Of course." Dylan said but there was a hint of disappointment in his voice
" How do you know to find me there?" Kathy asked
" Apparently Damian's servants are efficient. They told me about the princess plan already." He said Kathy stopped in front of him angrily
" You knew of the plan? " Kathy asked
" After it was set in motion." Dylan mended . Of course she wouldn't know he was lying
" Why didn't you stop them." Kathy said getting furious . He could have still stopped them even though she was already there
" I admit I was curious about how you were in combat." Dylan said making Kathy frowned . Did he think she could fight that thing?
" And how was your finding?" Kathy asked folding her hands.
"Pathetic," Dylan said, his tone flat as a tombstone. "Crawling, pleading… for a life that means nothing. Have you no dignity, or is that long dead?" he said
" My life is my everything, I'd do anything to save it Dylan. I'm not sure you know the meaning willing to do anything to protect." Kathy said
"Of course not. I don't protect. I destroy, I ruin, I leave chaos in my wake," Dylan said, flat and unflinching, like announcing the weather of a funeral.
Kathy sighed like he was a lost cause
" Yea you do you, I'll do me. But I have one question Dylan ." Kathy said
" Speak." He told her
" Do you know nothing about human, like you don't that we can't even fight lions not to talk of hollow snakes." Kathy said
" I'm sure you can fight lions." Dylan stated. " You're right I don't know much about you humans , care to enlighten me." He said
" Why? Where are you from?" Kathy asked curious
" Don't be curious about me or you'll end up in the steaming grime." Dylan said
" You have a colourful way with words." Kathy said
" It's a gift." Dylan stated and Kathy smiled
" If you tell me about yourself I'll tell you about the humans." Kathy said looking at him
Dylan looked down at her
" I told you not to be curious about me." Dylan said his gaze darkened
But Kathy moved closer, looked up to him and smiled
" I don't know why, but I'm very curious about you, I want to know more about you, even if I might die." She said
" But I don't want you dead..... Yet." Dylan said
" Yet.... Since I'm going to die anyway why don't you tell me a little , please?" Kathy said and batted her eyes like a cat
" You're courting death little cat." Dylan said
" Please, please, please, please." Kathy pleaded like a child
" You're either brave or really stupid. But then again ignorant is a bliss so they said." Dylan said and sighed .
