Boys and girls of every age, would you like to see something strange? Come with me, and you will see my little story for Halloween...
Hello everyone! This is my second Halloween/Horror story, and I really hope you like it. :)
Disclaimer, I have never owned Kuroshitsuji in my entire life.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
There will be no escape tonight, at least not for me.
My fate will be forever sealed by the flames of red tainted in your hellish gleam.
No place for me to turn, nowhere that you cannot see.
And I would give anything if only this was nothing more but a dream.
I could break away from you and once again be free,
my past I can redeem.
I've finally had enough of this place, the same old routine every dawn and every dusk. How much more do I have to endure before we collapse? Silence is the only thing here that will always welcome me. There's no one in this estate anymore, just Sebastian and I, everyone else assumed the worse and had quit their searches weeks ago.
"Young master?" I have been sitting in my bed, my body being tightly held in its own embrace, since the moon lit the sky high above. The sunlight of dawn welcomes us now, a new day has arrived once again. "Are you alright?" To be honest, I don't know why he continues to be this way around me. It's useless and I hope he knows that. No matter how much we don't like it, no matter how hard we try, we both must accept the fact of what happened to me, and that Sebastian will never be able to obtain my soul. I don't respond to him when he speaks to me, I just look to the side and avoid his gaze. This has become customary between us, I only speak to him when I request something of him.
"You'll be pleased to know that today is October 31st." My attention does go to him, and my new red eyes stare into his. I remain silent, as he stated Halloween is upon us. "Is there anything you would like to be as this year?" He asks me in the most joyous of ways, expecting that I would likely say a cat, or any other feline creature for that matter. You should know better Sebastian, just because of my change doesn't mean that my hatred towards cats has vanished. My thoughts present themselves visually as stone cold glares. I want to abandon this place, I desire nothing more than to abandon this so called "life" of mine.
"How childish."
"But young master, don't you think it would fun?" His eyes sparkle and his head is tilted to the side. I see I have no choice but to answer him.
"Fun?" I scoff at this, running a hand through my silk like hair. "I don't see the purpose to engage in childish behavior, Sebastian. 'Fun' counts as such."
"I see." His reply was short and his eyes returned to his regular state. I see no use to keep him around me any longer, I quickly shoo him away and he left my sight without hesitation. I don't need him anymore, but I know he needs my soul, his meal, his payment. However, as I mentioned earlier he knows that getting what he may consider required now is useless. There is nothing I can give him, and there is nothing he can provide for me. Ever since my change occurred I took the role of dressing and bathing myself, and Sebastian is in charge of making sure the manor is in perfect order.
A sigh escapes my lips as my body slowly leaves the bed. My feet shuffle across the floorboard, and I find myself walking towards my closet to select my outfit for the day. A simple white shirt and black pants is what I choose to wear today. It doesn't matter how I dress anymore, everyone assumes that I am long dead. I won't have any guests soon.
I carried out the rest of my day in boredom, with only my thoughts, and the occasional game or two of chess, to keep me company. At this moment in time I'm taking in the scenery of my rose garden. The sunlight is beginning to dim as soon as my fingertips dance across the petals of my favorite white roses.
I wonder what Sebastian is up to. If I had to guess, I'd say he's probably tending to something in this manor, or playing with another stray cat. I walk over to a tree that's nearby and I slide my body downwards until I find myself sitting on the ground. He does realise that he'll never get what he wants. He'll never find the ones who ruined my life, who made me, and my family name, a laughingstock. The ones who humiliated me to no end, the ones who caused my eternal suffering. He should have ended this contract of ours and left when he had the chance… Perhaps that's a task only I can complete. My head slumps against the bark and I close my eyes, hiding them from view.
"Young master?" I reopen my eyes and I see Sebastian's face above me, his eyes trained on only me.
"Oh...it's you."
"Yes," he says after a moment of silence, "I was just wondering what you are doing. You've been out here for quite some time."
"Mind your own business, demon." I glare at him and my eyes begin to burst with red, "And I'll mind my own." I really am tired of all this. I feel as if though my life were nothing more but a drag, and nothing escapes my nightmares now except leaving this all far behind. I watch him silently as he turns his back from me and walks away. I pull my legs up and my knees rest under my chin.
Just what exactly am I going to do?
