Chapter 2
The minotaur eyed her hand suspiciously, wondering if this was another trick to kill him like what those other humans tried to do.
He shook her hand with two big furry fingers and pointed out to her, "You are foolish human. Did ever think that I could've killed when you took your first towards me?".
Her eyes narrowed at him as she responded back, "Well no shit Sherlock, of course I thought of the possibility that you were gonna kill me when you have a body that weighs like four tons".
"Five tons, actually", he corrected. "And who is this Sherlock? Is he some kind of great hero that is destined to kill me?".
"Of course not. He's one of the greatest detectives second only to the Batman or third to the Question. Besides that, why would they want to kill you? I mean you seem like an ok guy.".
The minotaur was flabbergasted, or basically surprised for those who don't know what flabbergast means, at her question. With fear of rejection if that question was a joke, he asked her, "You… do not fear me?".
"Of course not".
"But I have killed many heroes who came before me to slay a hideous beast".
"Hey don't feel bad about that. Deep down, I know that you're a really nice guy. I know that I would've killed those so called heroes if they came here to kill me. The real monster are those guys for trying to hurt someone like you".
"But I eat human girls like you".
"Bullshit. Bulls aren't carnivores".
"I'll have you know that I do indeed eat meat since I am half human".
"Even so, I don't believe that you're a cannibal. You probably just eat all kinds of meat except for human and bulls".
The half man and half bull was again surprised at this little human's wise words. She was right. The human offerings he was given were led by him through a cave that brought them outside made by himself. The food he ate were brought down by his father to keep him alive when it's not time for human sacrifices.
Her words somehow gave him hope to keep on living his sad life and to show his gratitude, he picked her up to hug her body to his furry chest.
Sonia sighed in happiness, loving the feeling of his fur against her skin. "So what's the great hug for?", she asked him.
"For giving me hope to keep on living", he explained to her.
A response was about to be said from her until a yawn interrupted her.
The minotaur put her down and chuckled. "Looks like you are tired. You may not know it, but it is currently night time". He then grabbed her entire arm with one hand. "Come, I will take you to my quarters".
She was too tired to protest as he put her on his back.
