Nimbz's POV
I opened my eyes and I looked at my paper where I drew a boy who I never met. I started to shade him as my butler came in. I didn't look at him, scared of what he might say.
"Mistress, it's time to go to sleep," he said.
I looked up at him then I blinked as I glanced around the room. It was already dark and the moon was out. I stared out the window and I stood up and head towards the window. I felt Claude's eyes on me as he stared at me. I opened the window and felt a cool breeze brushed against my cheeks. I glanced up and gazed at the stars. My eyes cast at the little dots. Their beauty always made me want to cry. It was sad how their are so many people in the world and I haven't met one who said they like to look at the night-sky. My head turned towards Claude.
"How many times have I told you Claude?" I went up to him and peeked up at his face and he looked back at me with his golden eyes that made me think of the sun. "I told you to call me Nimbz or Nims. I don't like people calling me all those 'fancy' names."
"Apologizes, Nimbz. But it's past your bedtime."
"I'll be up in a bit. I need to do something."
"As you wish."
He walked off and I went and grabbed my notebook. I put it away then I went to close the window yet also I was about to close it I saw a figure standing in the garden. My eyes widen and I ran off. I went in the hallway and I looked up and my eyes widen once more. There was faces coming towards me. I walked backwards then my back hit something hard. I turned around and my eyes widen even more. It was the figure. It grabbed me by my shoulder and a smirk came across it's face. Tears came down my cheeks.
"CLAUDE!" I screamed. As I said his name the figures and faces disappeared. I slide my back down a wall and I hugged my legs, crying. As soon as I heard footsteps coming closer to me I glanced up and my eyes widen again, once more.
"Ge-Get away!" I yelled out. "Leave me alone!"
The figure stopped in it's tracks for a split second then continued walking to me.
"Get awa-" my eyes widen as the figure hugged me and it made me stop talking.
The darkness around the figure shifted into Claude. I stared at him and my eyes started tearing up again. After a few moments I hugged him back but tightly.
"Let's take you to your room, shall we?" He told me. I nodded slightly at him.
As if he knew I couldn't walk from what happened, he lifted me up in his arms. I put my arms around his neck as he took me to my room. I lay my head on his chest as he took me there and I hugged him tighter. When we got there, I was half-asleep already in his arms. He sat me down on my bed and took out my night clothes. I yawned and lied down and Claude glanced at me.
"Nimbz, you must change first."
"No. To tired," I muttered in my pillow.
I heard him sighed and put away the clothes. As his footsteps were near the door I called out to him.
"Claude..?"
His steps end. "Yes?" He answered.
"Can you sleep with me? I'm...I'm to scared to be alone..." I said as I sat up and looked at him.
He glanced at me and walked to me. I felt my cheeks turn slightly red. As he sat besides me I rested my head on his lap and closed my eyes.
When I woke up and hugged a solid figure a bit tightly and I held it close.
"Nimbz, it is time to get up." I heard a familiar voice.
I yawned then buried my head into the figure. "Five more minutes."
"Nimbz. Wake up."
I opened my eyes a little and blinked, trying to get the sleepiness out of them. When my vision cleared a little, my eyes widen and I sat up and looked down, blushing deeply. I buried my face into my blankets. I felt Claude stood up and bowed to me when I was looking at him from the corner of my eyes.
"I shall get you a change of clothes for today," he told me.
"Th-That's alright! I'll get them!" I said while laughing nervously, believing I was hugging him like a teddy-bear while I was sleeping.
He bowed again. "As you wish."
When he left and closed my door I sighed. I stood up and felt my cheeks still red. I tried shaking off my blush but it wasn't working. I just sighed again and went to change. I changed into my regular outfit: a long, white, dress shirt that went a few centimeters above my knees and shorts under. I wore no shoes since I love to feel the floor around me.
I walked out my room and almost immediately I smelled bacon. I walked to the room where I ate and saw them laying on my plate. My eyes lit up with excitement and I walked to it. I saw Claude pouring me a glass of milk and I grinned at him.
"Have a seat."
"K~"
I sat down then silently made a prayer. I said it quietly so Claude won't hear me. I nommed on the pancakes as well with the bacon. When I was almost full I finished. Claude asked if I wanted more but I refused since I wasn't used to this kind of service since I came from the Middle-class. I stood up as he took my plates away and I glanced at the maids who helped Claude around the manor. One looked at me for a second until Claude went my side and glared at her, telling her to get back to the chores. She yelped and did what he told her.
I sighed at him and walked to my room. I couldn't help wonder about something. I knew Claude was following me but when I went on my room, Claude closed the door, grabbed my by my wrist, and pinned me against the wall. My eyes widen and I stared at him.
"Cl-Claude?! Wha...What are you doing?!" I told him.
"Tell me why did you do that."
"Do what?!"
"Why did you make a prayer?"
I stayed silent. He heard me make it. Apparently he got impatient and he grabbed me by my jaw, waiting for my answer. I grabbed his arm, trying to make him stop but it didn't work. I had to tell him. The pain was to unbearable for me to overcome.
"Be-Because! I thank Him for then food he proved us in the world!" I finally told him.
His eyes glared at me and he threw me onto my bed. I coughed and held my jaw. I glanced up and Claude walked up to me. My eyes widen and I tried to moved away from him. He kneel onto my bed and grabbed me by my shoulders. I held my eyes, closed tightly and I forced myself to move my head away from him. I knew I shouldn't have prayed around a demon. Especially if I'm praying to God himself.
Claude used his hand to make me look at him. When I did my eyes widen.
He locked his lips with mine.
