"Now dear, would you like to take a nap before dinner? I'm afraid there's a long night ahead of us."

She hesitated then nodded. Might as well, since she didn't have school. Just so long as she knew.... "The knives?" she asked in a cracked voice. She couldn't sleep in a house with males without protection, she just couldn't.

"You may keep them, though I'd hope that you'd think before using them. No one here wants to hurt you."

"Where did they go?" she asked, rather then comment on that.

"Alright then dear. I'll wake you for dinner." Maria smiled as she left, feeling like they had made some progress.

She watched her go, closed and locked the door if she could, pushed a chair behind the door. Not heavy enough to stop it from opening but, she hoped, loud enough to wake her. She grabbed the knives and put them under her pillow. She closed her eyes and was asleep in seconds.

"How is she?" Antonio asked when Maria was back in the kitchen.
"Better. I think she's going to warm up to us fine."
"Good. It's nice to have her here. Makes me feel young again."
Maria smiled, "Me too. This big old house has been empty far too long."
