"Hmm....9, huh?" The avian looked at the clock on the wall, seeing that it was only 7:30pm. "Easy..." he thought, laying back on the bed. "All I've got to do is overpower a single woman." he thought out loud. "Does she have any security up there?" he asked, looking back towards the girl.
"N-Not that I know of. She is in her house, her guards outside dont let any one she does not want in at all and she does not like being disturbed while she plays. She will probably have a whip or something...and she knows how to inflict pain, so please be careful master. I can lead you to the staircase when its time...but I cant...actually go up there." She said nervously.
"Well I won't be able to do this alone...I'll need you to help me." Ocax replied, standing back up again, and walking over to the mouse girl. "You think you can help me?"
The mouse girl nodded and said "O-Ok...just as long as it..does not involve going upstairs. I cant...cant go up there, not again." She said sadly, more than a little fear in her voice. She was probably trained up there. "There are a bunch of other girls up there in the left wing, they are being trained...just like I was, maybe worse. Those you saw today will be up there to. If you can help them, then you would save good people from having to go through what I did." She said. "The right wing of the mansion will be were the mistress and her maid are. They will be up there all night."
"Hmm...I see...well, if we can round them up, I'm sure we'll have a good chance at taking her down." Ocax nodded, bringing his fist down into his other claw. "Let's go then...what's your name?" he asked, looking towards the mouse girl before walking towards the door, motioning for her to follow.
"N-name?" She asked as if confused. "I dont get one. No one does. We are whatever you call us. I think I...I used to have a name, but its thirty lashes and a night with the dragon if I get caught saying." She said sadly. "It started with an N though..." She said. "IF you want, I can take you now." the mouse girl added. "Just..please dont fail." IF there was nothing else then she would lead him to the staircase where he could either choose to go right or left.
"Okay, can you just whisper it in my ear? I won't tell anyone, I swear." he told her, putting his hand over his heart. "I just want to know your name, that's all..."
The girl hesitated before looking around as if to make sure no spies were listening. "O-Ok..." She said leaning in to whisper it. "Its Naomi."
Ocax chuckled softly from the mouse girl's actions, before patting Naomi's shoulder. "That's a beautiful name. You'll be able to say it as much as you want when I break you out of here." he added with a smile. "Now let's go, the faster we can do this, the faster you can be free!" he added, before opening the door, holding it open for her.
Naomi smiled brightly at him, and for perhaps the first in years, and led him to the stairs. There he could choose to go right, to the target and the mistress, or left, to the captured girls.
