Gray Hooded Lady (III)

Instead of a woman, she's more appropriately referred to as a girl. She's so young. Klaus could not help but hiss.

"You're still a kid," he muttered.

"Let go of me!" The girl squirmed, her courage faltering,

The girl reminded Klaus of his younger sister. He backed off, refraining from torturing her. If she were an adult, Klaus wouldn't hesitate.

"You, punk. Who are you?" Klaus interrogated.

Covering her mouth, the girl was reluctant to reveal her name. Her face clearly indicated she was terrified of Klaus. Her body couldn't stop trembling.

"Say something or I'll break your neck," Klaus threatened. He gave a warning look.

The girl swallowed hard. "Zee…"

"I asked for your real name."

"That's been my name since I was born. I don't have another name."

Hearing the response that came from her lips, Klaus nodded. He didn't detect any falsehood from her.

"Tell me, why did you kidnap my friend?" he asked.
