"Is something the matter Talon?" questioned Robert.
"No, not at all, why do you ask" she replied.
"You just seem distracted is all, is there something you need to say?" Robert asked.

"No, I'm just enjoying the peace and quiet" she lied smiling.
"I prefer it that way as well" Robert said buying her lie.
Talon smiled back.
"How about I show you around the castle, since you will be staying a while?" he asked.
"That would be lovely" Replied Talon eagerly.
"I bet there is so much to learn" she said.
"There is indeed much history behind these very grounds" Robert replied.
"Robert, I must say this place is fascinating. I never dreamed one home could have so much history." Talon said hanging on every word she had heard.
"You found my family history interesting?" he asked chuckling lightly.
"I mean it, honestly" Talon replied.
"It is getting quiet late, see you in the morning Talon" he said escorting her back to her room for the night.
"Thank you Robert, sleep well" Talon said bowing slightly.
"I shall, and you as well. Good night" he replied kissing her hand gentle man like.
"Ummm….. what a great night sleep" said Talon getting ready for the new day.
"Miss, the master is awaiting your presence in the dining room for breakfast" came the voice of Gustov from the door.
"Thank you kindly Gustov, I shall be down at once." she replied putting on the last of her make up.
She was about to leave when she was grabbed from behind and a hand covered her mouth.
"We need to have a little talk" said the cold voice she was hoping she wouldn't hear. With that he took her and disappeared.
