Chapter 6
Having the humanoid snake girl kneel in front of her, Michelle was shocked. "Why do you want me to be your master?" she asked after a while, her eyes piercing as she observed the young girl.
The snake girl looked up at Michelle. "Because you have special blood..." she answered as she looked at the bit of blood trickling down Michelle's lips.
Hearing that, Michelle lifted a brow. "Special? What do you mean by that?" she asked curiously.
But to her disappointment, the snake girl only shook her head. "I don't know. I can just feel that it's different from other humans' blood. Yours smells sweet..."
Michelle thought about it for a moment. "Do you want me to become your master in a way that you'll be my servant or my contracted beast?" she asked.
The snake girl smiled a bit. "Anything my master wants."
Getting such an answer, Michelle groaned in annoyance. "What's your name?" she asked as she pinched her nose-bridge.
Being asked that question, the snake girl lowered her head a bit. "I don't have a name..." she said, looking slightly sad.
Michelle wasn't the kind of person who would be moved by sympathy or touched by someone's sadness, but since the snake girl had already asked her to be her master, Michelle decided to name her. "Then from now on, your name shall be Mare as from Nightmare," she said after pondering over it for a while.
