A/N: Heya guys! Another chapter! Because I felt like it! Now enjoy!

The house was quiet. Lyora and the boy were sitting in what seemed to be the kitchen, silently eating some of the food. "You wanna know why I saved you?" the boy spoke up, lightly startling the still scared girl. Lyora nods.

"Well..." the boy begins, "I've grown to respect you as a friend over the time." Lyora looked surprised. The boy continues. "I've shouted at you, hurt you, commanded you around, but you always come back and bring me food, no matter what. So I couldn't let you get kidnapped by that freak."

Lyora smiled. So he did care!

"Why did you always come back?" the boy asked her.

After a short while, Lyora answered. "I didn't want to end like him..." Her voice was still broken, not being able to finish the sentence.

But he seemed to have understood. "What do you know about him?" the boy asked calmly. They were referring to the other boy who was with them for a while.

She stuttered a bit, then quietly muttered "Y-You killed him...because he didn't get you food..."

The boy quickly responded. "Then you only know what you think had happened. Yes. I killed him."

Lyora swallowed. "But for another reason. On the night when I killed him, he came up to me to talk. About you."

Lyora looked at him in confusion. He began to elaborate. "He called you useless and a leech. And he suggested that, if you didn't do anything useful to our survival, you'd have to be uselful otherwise." Lyora shuddered as he finished his explanation.

"In that night, he wanted to abuse you."

Her body began to shake, her eyes being filled with tears. "Y-You...saved me..." she whispers, her voice shaking. "T-Twice...I'm in your dept."

He smiles lightly. "Do I even know your name? I don't think I ever asked."

Lyora shakes her head. "M-My name is Lyora, a-and I'm eleven years old...w-what's yours?"

"I'm Azriel! I'm 13!" he responds, grinning. "So can I still command you around?" Azriel asks, a cheeky grin over his face.

Lyora nods. "I-I'll listen to anything you tell me!"

"Then be my maid!"
