One Hell Of A Butler
Chapter 2 – Devil of a Butler
General POV
Sebastian put Chasity down in front of the manor.
"You're back!" Finny, Baldroy and Mey Rin said in unison.
"Sebastian, make sure they don't get in the manor."
He got down on one knee, hand above heart.
"Yes, my lord."
Chasity walked into the manor.
"You three, make sure no one enters the manor." Sebastian said, before they started to walk inside.
"Yes sir!"
When they got inside, Sebastian went straight into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Chasity put her long red hair up in a pony tail, it helped her think. Chasity was pretty, but her personality was ugly. She was not very nice to anyone and she was, as people called her, two faced. She spread rumors and she ruined lives, she would do anything to get what she wanted. She never got close to anyone, because she knew in the end everyone would leave her. She didn't like getting hurt. She stopped caring for people at a young age, all she really cared about was making the people who made her life hell, suffer. She started with her parents. It was a tragic 'accident'. That day she broke the breaks on the car, risking her own live as well as her parents. Her parents didn't survive but she did, and she appeared with a butler. Sounds familiar. She thought to herself. She remembered Ciel Phantomhive, but no one knew what happened to him. He just disappeared. She didn't talk about him though, it made her feel uneasy, even though it had been 3 years since he was gone.
"Mistress, they're here." Sebastian said as he walked into the room.
"Of course they are, act normal but keep the defenses up."
Sebastian bowed, again, hand over hand.
"Yes, my lord." and with that he left.
"I will get my revenge, no matter what. As long as I have Sebastian, I will never give up." Chasity muttered. She got up, let her hair down and got her knife. She never left without it. She headed down the stairs.
"Sebastian." She said once she reached the bottom.
"Yes mistress."
"Let them in."
"Yes, my lord."
Sebastian went outside while Chasity waited inside. Sebastian, Mey Rin, Finny, Baldroy and the others walked in.
"You have good defenses, You actually managed to wound some of us." Skulduggery said, pointing at Tanith.
"They are the best fighters I know."
"Why do you need them?" Tanith asked, glaring.
"I am a hated person, and people will kill me...if they get a chance, so why the little drop by, not still trying to arrest me are you?"
"Actually, no." Valkyrie said.
Skulduggery looked at Valkyrie.
"Are we not?"
"Nope, you are very talented and you would be great help to us."
"What's in it for me, if I say yes."
"You don't get arrested."
"What if I say no."
"We arrest you."
"Simple and straight to the point, I like you. Yes."
"May I talk to my partner please." Skulduggery said, pulling Valkyrie away.
"What?"
"Are you sure we can trust her?"
"Yes, and we need her, she's talented and we could solve a lot of cases with her around."
Wrong move, again. Chasity thought as she walked towards Sebastian.
"Sebastian, take our guests to the dinning hall and treat them to something, different."
He got down on one knee, hand over heart, as always.
"Yes, my lord."
"She's obviously good at fighting if she got away from us, even if she got help from a butler, there was lots of us and one of her." Valkyrie continued.
Skulduggery just nodded and they rejoined the group.
"You must be hungry, please, follow me." They followed Sebastian into the dinning hall, Tanith clutching her arm.
"Take a seat," he walked over to Tanith and put a hand on her shoulder, "oh dear, that doesn't look good, please follow me." and with the he started walking out of the dinning hall, Tanith after him.
Sebastian cleaned up both Tanith's wounds quickly and painlessly.
"Wow, how did you do that?"
"Now, If I couldn't take care of my mistress' guests, what kind of a butler would I be?"
Tanith walked back into the dinning room and Sebastian back into the kitchen, minutes later he came in with a tray full of curry buns.
"What's this?" Valkyrie asked, looking at the two curry buns on her plate.
"These are my mistress' famous curry buns." Sebastian said, as he gave two to Ghastly, who was glaring at him. He gave him a little smile and walked next to Chasity.
"Does your butler do everything you tell him to?" Ghastly asked.
"Of course."
"What a loyal butler."
Sebastian smiled, "I am simply one hell of a butler."
"Why is one eye brown and the other purple?" Skulduggery asked, staring at his empty plate.
"I told you this, it's our contract." Chasity said, taking a bite out of her curry bun.
"Who with?" Valkyrie asked, confusion all over her face.
"With me." Sebastian said, pulling off his glove to show the contract on his hand, again.
"So what does this contract do?" Ghastly asked.
"As long as the contract is still in place, I am her faithful butler, a 'sacrifice' a 'wish'. I do what she tells me to, I complete her last wish, and in return, I get her soul."
Skulduggery stood up, gun in hand.
"What do you mean? What are you?" Skulduggery shouted.
"I am a Devil of a butler." His eyes turned pink, then back to red. "Oh look at the time, it's almost time for my mistress to retire for the night, Mey Rin, please show them the way out, Baldroy, Finny, please collect in the plates. Thank you for offering my mistress the job, we shall be at the sanctuary at our earliest convenience." Sebastian said, pulling out the chair for Chasity and carrying her up the stairs.
"So they trust me?" Chasity asked, taking off her eye patch and taking off her emerald ring she always wore.
"It seems like it."
"Everything is going to plan Sebastian, after three years, it's all going to plan."
"It is. You should rest now my lord, we have a busy day tomorrow." Sebastian said, tucking Chasity in.
