Moonlight: Yay! New chapie! I do not own anything except Moonlight, and any one that isn't in Kuroshituji.
Chapter 2: Her Maid, But a Child
Moonlight's POV
I scrunch my nose up in disgust. "Hiya, Moonlight!" Lydia, the Hell Messenger. 'Oh, why is it always her?' I thought to myself.
She landed, and did her pose, then grabbed a letter from her overly stuffed mail bag. "Hey, where's Lydia's hat, nya? And didn't Lydia have black roots, nya?" I asked. She looked, smiling. "Oh, at least someone noticed! I don't wear the hat anymore… we finally got our guardian to Hell back, humans call him Cerberus, and he got ahold of my hat…" She sighed.
"Oh…. nya" I mumbled. She smiled. "There's nothing I could really do! He was too big to get away from in time when you weren't expecting it." She explained. "Moonlight sees." I said in thought. Lydia snapped her fingers. "Ah, I almost forgot!" She shoved me a red envelope.
"Are you sure nothing is going on with you and Leader?" I look up at her, my eyes glowing pink. She put her hands up. "Ok, ok!" She said, and flew into the air. "See ya!" She yelled as she flew away.
I sigh, and opened the letter.
"Dear Moonlight,
I have something once again to talk to about in private. Come within the next day, or else I will send someone for you.
From,
Leader"
I blink. 'Whaaaaaaa?' Was all I was thinking of at the moment. My stomach growled. I could still see Lydia, so my wings burst out, and I flew at her at full speed. "Wait a damn second, Lydia, nya! Here, give this to that stupid leader, and tell him it's from me, nya !" I yelled, having a letter form in my hand.
I shove it to her, and released her. She was surprised. I flew back down, clearly mad. 'Who does he think he is? I'm not going to keep going to him! I never once said that he was my leader!' I thought to myself, as I flew quickly through the town, and through the forest.
I was so blinded by anger, I crashed into a building. 'Huh?' I thought. I rub my nose a bit, then decided to go inside, wondering if there were people inside. I go in, my eyes glowing pink, and my wings out, falling feathers covering me from view.
I fully transform into myself quickly, and walked around. I go down some stairs, and see a light. I see cages, with blood in them, and a stone table, that had shackles on them, blood everywhere on it. I see a cage near the table, and appeared to be a girl in it. I smile, licking my lips.
I hear screaming somewhere on the other side of the wall, so I wanted to go check it out, it being more fun for me to find that there was a human not locked in a cage, rather than the girl. I walk past the cage, and fell someone hold my dress, and I snap my neck around.
I see the girl holding my dress, and deep sadness in her eyes, her begging me to let her out, to save her with her eyes. I chuckle darkly. 'Now doesn't that remind me of Ciel?' I thought to myself. My stomach growled again.
I smile. 'I wonder what a soul taste like?' I thought. My neck were Sebastian's symbol was began to tingle a bit, and someone placed a hand on my shoulder. I snap my head around to see Sebastian, in his true form, smiling at me.
"Do it, dearest. It's what you are, after all. A soul sucking demon." He says quietly, so the girl doesn't hear. I smile. "How?" I said darkly, and quietly. He smiled. "Just place your hand where she wants it, and sink your nails into it, pushing hard. You must gather your demonic power in that hand, then place it there." He smiled, then simply vanished, smoke or dark mist wisping away into the air.
I turn back to the girl, whose eyes were filled in fear. I smile. "You are given a choice. I am a demon, and you have just called out to me, by grabbing my dress for help, didn't you?" The girl nodded slowly. "Well then, you are given a big choice. Now it's your decision to make a contract with a demon and have your wishes granted, and saved from this place, or to stay here, and die, being torn apart." I said darkly.
I had figured out what was going on in the other room, by hearing saw noises and moaning, and the sound of liquid dripping, a lot. "I… I want…." The girl stopped. "I want power, and make those who did this to me to suffer terribly." She said blankly.
I smile. "So yes, you're willing to abandon the light you were born in, and wonder into the path of Hell? There's no turning back once you've ma-"Yes, demon. I'll make a contract." She interrupted. I stare at her, then continued.
"Alright then, let's mark our bodies with the contract seal. The more visible the seal is, the stronger it's power. So wher-"The center of my chest." She said, interrupting me yet again. 'Great, so I've made a contract with a female Ciel. How delightful.' I thought to myself.
"Well then, let's get started." I said, my hand emanating black flames from it. I slapped my hand onto her chest, and sunk nails into it, digging my hand into it. The girl screamed.
…
I killed a man who was killing children for body parts to sell, and eating them, and left the remanding children, which was three, there to burn into ashes, except one, the girl's younger sister. Earlier, I had learned what my new mistress' name is. Victoria Guldenber.
Her younger sister, who I was carrying, was named Violet. I could see why. She had violetv eyes, shimmering in the moonlight. She had light blonde hair, and light colored skin. Her skin was darker than mine, but by a bit.
Victoria, too, had blonde hair, but it was more yellow than blonde. 'Like Lydia's…' I thought, shivering. Victoria had emerald green eyes, and had the same skin tone. The only things they were wearing was thin white sheets quickly made into a nightgown.
I frown. "Well then, Mistress, nya. We need to get mistress changed, nya. We can't go into town, looking like that, can we, nya?" I said darkly. "Hmm, your right, demon. My sister, too." She said, examining herself. Violet smiled.
"I'll go make mistress something, nya." I said darkly, and turned and walked off. I walked not to far off, and made two dresses, one green and one purple. "There." I sighed, even though I just formed them in the palm of my hand.
I went back to the two of them, and gave them the dresses. "What is this?" Victoria demanded. "Oh, does mistress not like this taste of clothing, nya?" I asked. "Of course not! This is like Victiorian era dresses!" She scolded.
My mind went blank for a moment. 'Oh, then what era are we in now, then?' I thought. "Hmm, what year is it, Mistress, nya?" I asked. She sighed. "It's 2012!" She barked. 'Oh…' I thought then. "Well then, now Moonlight knows what to make, nya!" I said, clapping my hands together, grinning, revealing razor sharp teeth.
"Get going." She muttered. "Yes, my Mistress, nya." I say, bowing. I leave, and form a blue tank top that could go as a dress, and have black leggings also form. I form a purple long sleeve shirt form, with a black skirt, and black shoes.
I get back and show them to them. "Wow, it's so pretty!" Violet gasped. "I guess it will do." Victoria sighed. I frown, then smiled. "Let's go dressed shall we, nya?" I said, black flames forming around me, leaving behind a black maid uniform, my cat ears forming at the top of my head, and my pupils dilating to a cat eye's.
Violet stared in awe at me. I smile. I turn to Victoria. "Time to get dressed, nya." I say childishly, and lead her away from Violet, to somewhere private.
…
As I was changing Victoria, she seemed to be in thought. I was about to ask her what was wrong, until she broke the silence. "Demon, what is your name?" She asked. 'It's about time.' I thought. "Moonlight's name is Moonlight, but her Mistress can rename Moonlight as she wishes, nya." I said.
Victoria scrunched up her nose. "What an ugly name." She muttered. My eyes glowed. She turned to me. "Your name will now be-"Hope." Someone interrupted. I look up. It was Violet. She was smiling.
"No, I want Harmony." She said stubbornly, crossing her arms. Violet's eyes teared up. Victoria opened her eyes. "Tch, why do you always do that?" She questioned. Violet sniffed. "And why do you want Hope anyway?" She demanded.
Violet wiped her eyes. "Because… Moonlight can be our hope for the future. Maybe no more bad things will happen to us, like Mommy and Daddy." Victoria looked hurt, and I was taken aback. "Fine." Victoria whispered. "She can be named Hope. Hope Diamond." My sweat dropped. 'How ironic.' I thought.
"Also, why did you start talking like that?" She demanded. I smile innocently. "Because, Moonlight want's to, nya. It helps keeping Moonlight's identity a secret, nya." I say, putting my finger to my lips.
…
I had found a hotel, and Victoria was examining it. "It's horrible, redo it." Victoria commanded. I sigh. "Yes, mistress, nya." I bowed, and left the room.
I went to the front desk, and people were staring at me like I was crazy. A lady came to the desk, then looked bored. It wasn't the same lady from earlier. This lady had an eye patch on her right eye, and had long bluish grey hair that had two thick strips in the front, and the rest in a bun.
"What is it, kid?" She asked, lighting a cigarette in her mouth. "You do know that cigerattes aren't allowed here, in the hotel, nya." I said, boredly. She looked from lighting the cigarette. "What do you want?" She demanded. "Moonlight was wondering if she was able to remodel her room, nya." I handed her the card to our room.
She laughed. "Who do you think you are? A god or somethin?" She asked. I smirked. "No, more like a demon, nya." I said. She glared at me. "So, can Moonlight?" I asked. "No." She said. We stared at each other for a long while.
Since I was a maid, I pulled out a fork out from nowhere, and threw it at her. She grabbed it, and people gasped, surrounding us. "You do know, weapons aren't allowed in the building." She said boredly. I smiled. "But they were already here, in Moonlight's room, nya." I said, smiling.
She pulled out a pistol, and quickly shot it at my head. I gasped, and collapsed to the ground. People screamed. I smile, blood pouring out of my head. I move my hand to the blood, covering it. I sit up, and licked the blood off from my hand, and smiled, standing now.
"Now!" The lady yelled. Suddenly, shooting from all around began to shoot at me, causing me to shake around vividly from the impact from so many bullets at once. I collapse to the ground again, and smiled again.
My eyes glowed, and I raised up, my back arched, and I spat out all the bullets, and threw them in all directions. They hit every single man that was shooting me. They all collapse, leaving the lady standing. "Well, now. This will get interesting." She murmured.
She then pulled out a machine gun, and began to shoot it at my head with one hand. I smile, the bullets hitting my head. I begin to walk towards her, unaffected from the bullets, me now used to them. My scythe, the Shadow Scythe, forms in my hand, and I run at her, bringing the scythe down.
Dirt and dust flies everywhere. I'm standing at the end of my scythe, waiting for the dust to clear. It does, revealing the lady to be holding the scythe back with one finger. She smiled, revealing razor sharp teeth. "Did you think you were the only demon?" She questioned. I smiled, also revealing razor sharp teeth.
"No, actually, I thought I was the only Dark Angel there was." I said. She looked confused, but before she could react, I brought down my other scythe down on her head, smashing it to bits. Blood flies everywhere, and there was nothing left of her head. Her body falls to the ground and I grab my scythes, now strapping them to my back.
I walk back to my room, my card in my hand, and open the door. Violet looked up from looking out the window, worried. "Hope! Are you alright? I heard gunfire outside!" She cried, running up to me, and hugging me. I smile.
"Yes, Violet, Moonlight's fine, nya. Where is your sister, nya?" I asked in a childish voice. "Right here." Victoria said, in the doorway from her bedroom. I smile. "Well, young mistress, nya. Why don't you go swimming, or go to the arcade, or whatever you find suiting right now, while Moonlight remodels the room, nya?" I suggest. She sighed. "Fine, I will go swimming, but I will need a swimsuit."
I smiled. "No worries, Moonlight already made some in your bedroom, nya. Oh, and in the lobby, there might be blood everywhere, so just warning Mistress, nya." I said. She turned around, and went in, Violet following. I sigh again. "Now, to work on the room…"
…
I finished rebuilding the room within an hour, and it looked like the work of Sebastian. The living room area was completely redone. It looked like something you would only see professionals do. The sofa was purple, with a green rug in front of it.
There was a lot more to describe about the whole place, but I just left the room, looking for my mistress. I found her just floating in the water, and Violet going down the waterslide. "Mistress, the room is finished, nya." I said.
"Finally." She sighed, swimming out of the water. Violet swims over, and also gets out. We go back to our room, and walk in. Violet looked really surprised, and ran around, examining things. Victoria, walked to the middle of the room, and examined the place.
After a few moments, of silence, Victoria turns towards me. "I approve." She said. I bow. "Thank you, mistress, nya." I say, bowing. Victoria walks over to her bed, and falls onto it, lounging back. I sigh. "Now mistress, Moonlight must go find your home, nya. Will you be fin, nya?" I ask.
Victoria shooed me. "Yes, yes. Now get going!" She commanded. I bow, and quickly walked off.
I walked out of the hotel, and black wings burst out of my shoulder blades. I leap into the air, and began my search for the mansion.
…
After hours of searching for the manor, I still couldn't find the mansion. I sigh in frustration. My neck begins to tingle. "Having trouble?" I freak out, causing me to quit flying, and to fall. I look up to see Sebastian flying where I was flying.
I scream as I fall, reaching my hand out. Sebastian was confused. Tears come from my eyes from falling, and I put my hand down. I feel someone catch me, and I see Sebastian looking down, disappointed.
"You know, you could have just continued flying…" I blush and looked away. Sebastian lands, and sets me down. I was silent. "Now, having trouble?" Sebastian questioned. I looked down. "Yes, I guess you could say that." I said, my eyes glowing.
"Well then, what is it?" Sebastian sighed. "I… hey wait a minute! Why are you still alive?" I demanded. Sebastian chuckled. "So you noticed? Well, I am a demon after all. I can live for quite a long time." Sebastian said, his eyes glowing.
"Where's Ciel…?" I asked. "His still my master, but he needs to eat. I, unfortunately, cannot have souls…" His eyes glowed even more. "Well then, I could help you on that, but I'm pretty sure you would have to protect him."
"Yes, I would…" Sebastian muttered, frowning. I smile. "So what do you need, Sebastian?" I asked. "Nothing in particular, just came to support my own daughter." I study him for a moment. 'There's got to be a catch…' I thought.
"Well then, father! What do you want to help me with?" I asked childishly. "Whatever you need, my dear." Sebastian said nicely. "Well then, I'm trying to find a mansion…" I realized, that, I have no idea what the mansion looks like.
I sighed, and facepalmed. "I just realized, that I didn't get a description of the manor…." I whispered to myself. I could hear Sebastian chuckled. I looked up and glared at him. Sebastian smiled. "Well now, lucky for you, I know where the mansion you are looking for is."
"Really?" I asked. Sebastian nods. "But, you obviously still need me, so I will only tell you if I come with you." Sebastian said. I glare at him. "You're not getting any of my soul!" I yelled. Sebastian smirked. "I never said I wanted any." I continue glaring at him.
"So, do we have a deal, then?" Sebastian asked. "Why do you want to be with me?" I demanded. "Because, I have nothing better to do." Sebastian said. I glare at him harder. "So, I will ask again, do we have a deal?" He asked.
I sighed. "Fine, you have a deal!" I muttered. Sebastian smiles. "Good, then follow me."
Sebastian's POV
I sigh to myself, while hopping from building to building, while Moonlight is flying above me. 'I can't tell her the real reason why I am with her… If I did, she will find them, and kill them. Not that I care, but Ciel ordered me too.' I sighed again.
…
We found the mansion, and were on the way back to Moonlight's master. "So, what is your master's name?" I asked. "Victoria Guldenber." She answered. 'A mistress, then? Interesting' I thought. "So how did she find you?" I asked. I never got a good look at her when I told Moonlight she should make a contract with her, so I am awfully curious.
"Basically the same way you found Ciel, only, I wasn't summoned. And there were no people trying to use her as bait to summon me, either. I just found the building she was in, and I went in to explore. She was in a cage, and grabbed my dress. I gave her the choice whether or not she should, and she took it. It appears her parents were murdered. Ironic, isn't it?" She joked.
"Yes it is, and interesting. Tell me, is she the same way as Ciel?" I asked. Moonlight rolled her eyes. "Don't even get me started on that. Yes she is, exactly like twins." She said. I smile.
…
We get to the hotel, and entered. There was blood everywhere. "Do I even want to know?" I asked. Moonlight shook her head. "Nope."
We get to her room, and a little girl looks up from sitting on a couch, and runs up to Moonlight hugging her. "Are you alright, Hope?" She asked worriedly. Moonlight smiles. "Yes, Violet, nya. Moonlight is fine, nya." She said, talking weird again.
Violet smiles, then looks at me, curious. "Who is he?" She asked. Moonlight looked up at me, then back to Violet. "This is Sebastian, a butler, nya. Moonlight recruited him when she was looking for your home, nya. He has a lot of skills that you couldn't imagine, nya." She said.
Violet look surprised. "Really?" She gasped, walking in front of me, then looking at Moonlight. After a moment of silence, she said "You guys have the same heads!" I merely blink, and Moonlight blushed a little.
"How odd, it appears my younger sister is right." A blond haired girl, who was leaving her bedroom, appears behind her sister. Moonlight looks away. "You too must be related somehow. This is an order. Who is this man to you, Hope?"
'Hope? Is that her new name or something?' I think. Moonlight looks up and answers truthfully. "He is Moonlight's father, nya." Victoria smiles. "That explains it then. Now I'm even more curious. Where is your mother?" She demanded.
'Moonlight is right. She is like Ciel.' I thought. Moonlight looks away. "Dead, nya. She was killed, nya." Victoria smiles again. "And how was she killed?" She pushed further. Moonlight began to look upset. I didn't know Moonlight could get upset.
I decided that I had to do something. I walk in front of Moonlight, just in time, for only me to see a single tear stream down her face. "I think I will be able to tell you, later" I said menacingly, my eyes glowing. Victoria glared at me, and backed up, while Violet, wasn't paying attention to anything, and was trying to peer around me.
I thought quickly to what to do with the little girl, and decided on one thing. I bent down, and started tickling her neck. She squealed with excitement, and hopped back from surprise. She looked up at me, giggled, and smiled.
I faked a smile, and glanced at Moonlight. She still looked sad, but she straightened herself up. She looked up at me, and had a faraway look in her eyes. She was really upset about that. I looked over at Victoria, and glare at her.
She just shrugged. 'I take that back. She's more like that Trancy brat from a long way back' I thought. Moonlight walked out from behind me, and looked happy again. But I was no fool to see that she was faking it.
Victoria looked at her then said "So, have you found my mansion?" Moonlight nods. "We are going in the morning to it, nya." Victoria nods, and turns to her bed, and plops down on it. "It's late and I'm going to sleep."
"Shouldn't you change, Mistress, nya?" Moonlight asks, walking towards her. "No. What do think we're in? England? Honestly, you must have been at too many renaissance fairs!" Victoria complained. Moonlight bows. "Sorry, Mistress, nya."
Violet came up to her and smiled. "You can change me into my pajamas if you want!" Moonlight smiles. "If that is what you wish, nya."
…
Everyone had went to bed, except for Moonlight and I, who were just sitting next to each other on the sofa. Her head was on my shoulder, and she appeared to look exhausted. "Sebastian, why do you still wear the same butler uniform as you did before I left?" Moonlight asked quietly.
I smile. "This isn't the same uniform, yet it is. I've had to get many replacements from that one you are talking about. It's been two hundred years since I've worn that uniform you're speaking of. In fact, it was so ruined, I no longer have it." I explained. Moonlight blinks.
There was silence. "Father… How did you ever fall in love with my mother?" Moonlight asked slowly, and quietly. I look at her. There was silence yet again. Soon, I broke it. "It all started with a command from my previous master…"
*Flashback*
"_." Master commanded. "Yes, master?" Sebastian asked, finishing escorting a woman out from the mansion. "I need that woman. I love her, but she has rejected me. I want her for my own. This is a command. Go get her." Master commanded.
Sebastian bowed. "As you wish, my lord."
Sebastian left the highly expensive mansion, and quickly left to go get the woman of the man's dreams. Sebastian was jumping from building to building and saw the lady's mansion. It was an expansive one, yes it was, but not as expansive one as his master's.
He went into the yard, and opened the door. He entered and closed the door quietly behind. He went into the shadows, for no one could see him if he was in the shadows. He went up the stairs, and began to search every room quick as lightning, and finally comes across the fair maiden, his master wants so badly.
He enters the room fully and walked up to her bed. She was a beautiful sight. She was so pale, and her hair almost white. Sebastian examined her further, then scooped her up. She opened up her eyes slowly, revealing beautiful sapphire eyes, and gazed at him.
"Who are you?" She asked quietly, her voice soothing and beautiful. "I am Lord _'s butler. I have come to retrieve you." Sebastian said quietly. She blinked, and sighed softly. "So be it, then." She whispered.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, but didn't question the lady's motives. Sebastian realized one thing though. His master never gave him a name of the Lady he wants to marry so badly. "May I ask your name, my lady?" Sebastian asked kindly.
The lady looked surprised. "You do not know of my name? Your master never gave you my name?" She questioned. Sebastian shook his head. The lady blinked. "I guess it wouldn't hurt if I tell you my name anyway."
There was silence for a moment, then she said "My name is Emmaline Flower."
(Me: Pronounced as Emma-lean, not line)
Sebastian was silent, and continued to leave the mansion. He left, and quickly headed back to his master's mansion. The whole time, Sebastian could feel Emmaline's innocent gaze seep into his neck. He finally looked at her as they were entering his master's yard, and he stopped.
She gazed into his eyes, and he fell for her beautiful sight, and gazed back into her's. He wanted to lean down, and kiss her, but his senses snapped him back to reality. His master wants her for himself, not for Sebastian.
Sebastian looked up, and continued walking towards the mansion. Suddenly, something pulled his neck down, and he met Emmaline's lips. He was surprised for a moment, then accepted it. He kissed her back, but before they could go any farther, he removed his lips.
He smiled, his eyes glowing their demon trademark, and Emmaline was surprised. "You realize what you're doing, right?" Sebastian questioned. Emmaline merely blinked. "You are in love with a demon. Are you sure you want to continue? Or perhaps continue living your normal life without me. We ,demons, are terrible creatures, and do not have emotion, and no mercy. If you continue loving me, your life will become horrible, and people could try to kill you for doing such a thing as to loving a demon. Are you sure you want me instead of that master of mine?" Sebastian questioned further.
Emmaline blinked again, and smiled softly. "If I loved your master, he will eventually end up dying from your hands. Am I correct?" Sebastian smiled. "Yes, you are. What a smart move, yet idiotic." Emmaline was surprised.
"You are still being with a demon in the end, and being with a demon means choosing the path of Hell. Do you want that?" Sebastian demanded. Emmaline was taken aback, then smiled. "If it is to be with you, then yes, I would choose the path of Hell." She answered.
Sebastian's face was filled with disgust. "How foolish. You humans let your emotions take over your lives, and end up killing you." Sebastian spat. Emmaline looked hurt. "Well, if that's how you're going to be, then so be it!" She whispered.
Sebastian merely shrugged, and continued walking. He entered the mansion, and went to his master. He smiled. "Good, demon. You have brought me her. Bring her to me." He commanded. Sebastian walked up to his master, and sat Emmaline down. She stood up, and hugged him. Sebastian's master was surprised, and hugged her pack.
"I was wrong to have rejected you." She whispered. He smiled. He lead Emmaline from his throne room, and to his bedroom. "You must be tired, my love. Come, let us become one with each other…" Sebastian's master murmured, as they went into his bedroom. Sebastian closed the door, and quickly went to the other side of the mansion, not wanting to hear each other's moans of pleasure in his master's room.
…
It was the next day, and he went to his master's room and knocked, while holding his morning tea, and breakfast. "My lord?" Sebastian asked. "Come in, you have permission." His master said groggily from the other side of the door. Sebastian walked in, and went to a wardrobe and got his master's outfit for the day out. He walked over to him, and got him dressed. He told him everything that they were doing that day, and gave him his breakfast. He then left the room, and got one of his master's sister's clothing.
He went back, with the dress. His master waved his hand, allowing him to dress Emmaline. Emmaline stood up, and Sebastian dressed her. Not once did she look at him. Sebastian could care less.
"I would like to marry you, today." Sebastian's master said to Emmaline a while later. Sebastian raised an eyebrow, and smiled. "That's fine with me." Emmaline said quietly. "Good. Demon, go get the preparations for the wedding started, get all the guests and food ready, and we will have it tonight!"
Sebastian smiled, and bowed. "Yes, my lord."
…
Sebastian had gotten the guests his master requested and the food ready. Emmaline went up to his master, and the priest was giving them the oath. "I do." Sebastian's master said. There was silence when it was Emmaline's turn, and she looked at Sebastian, then frowned. "I do." She said.
"You may now kiss the bride." The priest said, and Sebastian's master leaned in and kissed Emmaline. She was hesitant, but she also kissed him back.
…
They had finished the wedding, and Sebastian finished cleaning up the mess. He then searched for his master, wanting his soul now. He found him with Emmaline, and he immediately knocked her unconscious, or so he thought.
She did get knocked out, but it only lasted after she hit the ground. She peeked open her eyes and watched what was happening. "My lord, the deal is up. I held up my end of the bargain, now you must do the same." Sebastian said, his eyes glowing magenta and cat eyed again.
Sebastian's master smiled, and pulled out a dagger and thrust it into his neck. Sebastian smiled. "What do you think you're doing, my lord? Are you trying to escape your fate? What a pity." Sebastian sighed, then held his master by the throat.
"It's been too long since I've last had a soul, and I'm not going to let you escape between my fingers that easily." Sebastian growled. Emmaline held back a gasp, and Sebastian leaned in by his master's throat, and white air, or so she thought, came from his neck.
Her husband gasped, and clutched Sebastian's hand. Finally, her husband went limp in Sebastian's grip, and he release him, causing him to fall to the ground with a "Thud." Sebastian shivered, then turned to Emmaline.
"I know you're awake." He said, his voice dark and threatening. Emmaline fully opened her eyes, and was scared. Sebastian fully turned towards Emmaline, and squatted down and looked at her. "You look so pathetic, lying there so openly and vulnerable. What a pity." Sebastian sighed, staring at Emmaline. She went to get up, but Sebastian placed a foot on her back. She gasped a little, and Sebastian smiled, his eyes still glowing.
"Not so fast, my dear. I can't just let you leave, after what you saw." Sebastian said darkly, placing a hand around her neck. Emmaline began to get really scared, as Sebastian picked her up by the throat, making it hard to breathe.
She clutched his hand, gasping for air. Sebastian loosened his grip a bit for a couple of seconds, then quickly tightened it again. "So, you have a quite a lot of choices. You can either, leave, leaving civilization, join me, and love me, or die here in this mansion." Sebastian said threateningly.
Emmaline thought, while gasping for air. She closed her eyes, and choose the one that was most appealing to her. "I will join you." She whispered. Sebastian smiled, lowering her to the ground. Sebastian bowed. "Well then, my lady." Sebastian said, his eyes glowing. Emmaline looked away.
…
Sebastian had become Emmaline's butler, and was always with her. Not once was he not with her. Emmaline's belly had gotten bigger, and bigger, and she gotten tired, and had the strangest craving for foods, ever since the night Sebastian first joined her, and slept with her.
Ever since her belly had gotten bigger, Sebastian has been more protective over her. He always insisted for her to rest when she felt tired, and never gave her her weird cravings for food. When people began to notice her belly, Emmaline hardly went to town anymore, but Sebastian always insisted for her to go outside at least once every day for fresh air.
Emmaline could no longer go to her opera concerts, where she was needed to sing. On the day of Emmaline was to give birth to Sebastian's child, he left. Emmaline was confused and upset. She ordered her other butlers and maids to search for him, but he was never to be seen again by them.
Emmaline had been devastated, and left her hospital room to look for Sebastian. She made her way out in a forest, and continued walking, even though there was waves of pain inside her. She finally came across a lake, where the Moonlight glowed vividly upon it. Emmaline gasped in pain, and fell to the ground, and gave birth to her daughter.
She looked just like her mother, pale skin, sapphire eyes, only she had silver hair instead of pale blonde. Her mother shed a tear of joy, to giving birth in such a beautiful place, and to have a perfectly healthy daughter. Her daughter looked over in the bushes, so she did too. For a split second, she saw two pink eyes staring at her, and her daughter. She smiled. "He still cares." She whispered to herself. She looked back down at her daughter.
"I shall name you Moonlight." Her mother whispered, as her baby fell asleep in her mother's arms.
*End of flashback*
I looked at Moonlight. Moonlight smiled. "So it was you, staring at me in the bushes." I was surprised. "You remember?" I asked. Moonlight nodded. "That's all I remember, that last scene you told me, as a baby." Moonlight said quietly.
I smile. Moonlight slowly closed her eyes, as she fell asleep on my shoulder. I sigh, and just sat there, thinking.
After a while, I picked Moonlight up and went to Violet's bed. It was big enough for at least three people, so I out Moonlight on the bed, and tucked her in. I kissed her on the forehead, and stood back, watching them.
I was able to see Moonlight, and Violet as Crystal. I frown. 'Where is Crystal anyway? It's been a while, since I last saw her.' I thought to myself, but couldn't worry about her enough. I had Moonlight in front of me, and that's all that mattered.
I sighed, and turned away, examining the place. It wasn't dirty, but it wasn't perfect either. I sighed to myself, and began to clean the whole place up.
…
Moonlight's POV
I wake up, to feel someone shaking me. I open my eyes, to see Violet up, already dressed, and Sebastian behind her, smiling, and holding a tray of tea, and other breakfast foods. I sit up and stretched. "Good morning, Hope!" Violet exclaimed.
I yawn, and get out of bed. "Good morning, Violet, nya." I sighed. "Good morning, Moonlight. Today's breakfast is oatmeal and on the side are oranges. Violet here insisted on having oatmeal for breakfast, so I had no choice but to give it to her." Sebastian explained.
I was confused. "Hold up Sebastian… nya." I almost forgot to add nya at the end. "Why are you serving Moonlight breakfast?" I demanded. "Because I made enough for everyone." Sebastian explained. I sighed.
"Well then, I better get up." I sighed again, while getting up. I stretched again, and had a new black maid uniform form around my body. I accepted the breakfast Sebastian made for me, and quickly ate it. I cleaned up my mess, and sighed.
I went over to Victoria, and gently shook her, only to have a gun pressed up against my forehead. I was shocked for a moment, because I didn't know Victoria had a gun with her and slept with it. I then smirked.
"Come now, mistress, nya. It's only Moonlight, nya." I said, my eyes glowing. She glared at me. "Oh shut it. What is it that you need?" She muttered. "We need to go back to the mansion. When we get back, you can go back to sleep, nya." I murmured.
She sighed, and sat up stretching. I had a pair of clothes form in my hand, and helped Victoria change into them.
I finished helping her get dressed, then sighed. "Alright, mistress, let's go, nya." I said, picking her up. "What are you doing!" She yelled, hitting me. I ignored it and smiled. "Going back to your mansion, of course, nya." I said.
She glared at me. "We can just take a taxi or something!" She yelled. Sebastian picked up Violet, and she giggled. "That will take too long, nya. A day or so, nya." I said, smiling. She frowned. "What are you getting at?" She asked slowly.
I smiled, revealing sharp teeth, and eyes glowing. "We are demons after all, nya." I noticed that the window was opened, so I was signaling Sebastian to go through it. He nodded, and Victoria was gaining on what we were planning.
"Don't you dare…" She threatened. I smirked, and jumped through it. Victoria scream, us taking the fiftieth floor in the hotel. She began screeching, as I waited before we almost hit the ground. My wings burst out, and we began to fly to her mansion.
I hear Sebastian's wings burst behind me, and I look back to see him flying behind me. We fly for about ten minutes, then I hear Sebastian land on a roof. I look back to see his wings gone, and he was hoping from roof to roof, Violet laughing.
I smile, and turned my head back in front of me. We continue to head to Victoria's mansion, and finally get there at noon. I land at the front gates, and Sebastian running up beside me. I sit Victoria down, and she goes up to the door.
She enters and sighs. "Home sweet home…" She murmured to herself. Sebastian sat Violet down, and she ran inside along with her sister. She laughed, and ran up the stairs, her arms up like a bird. I couldn't help but smile.
I enter, and sighed. "Well then, there is a lot to dust and clean here." I sighed. "Yes, better get to it." Victoria said, her going up the stairs. I frown. I have a black feather duster form in my hand. I begin to dust everything, along with Sebastian.
…
It was probably the rest of the day when I realized it was dark. We had replaced everything, adding flowers to the new vases, replacing three expensive chandeliers, all of the silverware, Sebastian insisting it.
I sigh in a day's work, and sat on the replaced couch. It felt so comfy that I just had to lay down on it. I sigh, it being to comfy. "It wouldn't hurt to close my eyes…" I thought out loud. I closed my eyes, and darkness quickly engulfed me.
Sebastian's POV
I finished cleaning the kitchen, and walked past the sofas that were by the kitchen, to see Moonlight sleeping on it. I sigh. "I guess I will have to check on her mistress as well." I muttered to myself. I went up the stairs, and began to check every room.
I finally came across her in a study, her lying on a couch, asleep with a book in her hand. I walk over to her to see her eyes were wet. I grab the book in her hand, and saw it was am old children's book. I look at her, then sat the book down on the end table next to the couch.
I then pick up Victoria up, and went to the room I thought was her room, and got her changed and tucked in for bed. I sighed, and left, now looking for Violet. I found her in what I thought was her room because of all the toys in it.
She was sleeping on the ground, by the plastic dolls the humans called "Barbie Dolls." I went over to her, to see she was already changed in her nightgown. I pick her up, and tucked her under her covers, and left the room.
I went down the stairs again, and went to Moonlight. I stared at her for a moment, letting my gaze soften. I sigh, and picked up Moonlight, and went up the stairs to a bedroom for her. I get her changed into a nightgown, and tucked her under the covers.
I gently kiss her on the forehead, went into the shadows of the room, watching over my daughter as she slept.
…
Moonlight's POV
I awaken again, only instead of Violet shaking me, Sebastian was gently taping me on the shoulder. I yawn, and sit up. "Yes?" I asked groggily. "You need to get up. I'm not always going to make their breakfast." Sebastian said.
I sighed. "Alright." I moaned, getting up. I realized that my hair was no longer in a partial braid (Like Hanna's) and wasn't in a maids uniform. I sigh, and transform into one, and my hair braiding its self into a partial braid.
I left the room I slept in, and went down the stairs, and to the kitchen. I got some eggs out, milk, bacon, apples, and bread out. I made scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, some sliced apples and a glass of milk for the girls' breakfast.
I sat them at the tables to cool down, and went upstairs to awaken the girls. I went to Violet first, knowing that Victoria would not be happy if I awaken her. I enter Violet's room, to see her already dressed, but trying to button a button behind her that was out of her reach.
I smile. "Here, let Moonlight get that for you, nya." I offered. Violet's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Hope." She said.
I combined her hair, and put them in pigtails, her hair really thick. I told her breakfast was waiting downstairs, so I went to Victoria's room. I woke her up, and she wasn't happy as usual. I got her dressed also, and lead her down the stairs.
While the two girls ate their breakfast, Sebastian came by me. "We need to recruit more people, to make things easier in protecting them." Sebastian whispered in my ear. I nod my head. "Can you? I need to stay here and watch them." I whispered back.
Sebastian nodded, and walked towards the door. Violet looked up, and gasped. "Where are you going, Sebastian?" She asked, Sebastian sounding more like Sebaschan. He looked at Violet, and smiled. "Just going out." He said.
"Can I come with you?" She asked. "No, you must stay here. Sebastian is just going to talk to some people." I explained. Violet's eyes began to fill up with tears. "But I want to go with him!" She cried. Victoria sighed, and said. "Let her go. I don't want her to whine all day." She commanded. "Yes, mistress." I said, bowing.
"Yay!" Violet squealed, running to Sebastian. She clung to Sebastian's tailcoat, as they went through the front door. I sigh, and began to clean for the day.
Sebastian's POV
We left through the front gates, and I sighed, not wanting the little girl to be with me, because of her slowing me down. I quickly forced myself to get over it, and sighed again. "What's the matter, Sebastian?" Violet asked.
"Nothing, just thinking." I merely said. "Oh." She simply stated. I quickly picked her up, and began to jump from house to house, looking for my first prey. I searched around quickly, and quickly found the person I was looking for.
She was a young girl, yes, and she lived in a alley, too, but her skills were great. We watched her for two hours, and she stole a great amount of money from a bank, and pickpocket at least seven people, all of their expensive goods.
I jumped down from a roof by the alley, leaving Violet on the roof. I walked up to her, and she quickly pulled out a knife, and slashed at my throat. Me being a demon, had the skills to dodge it quicker than any human, for if a human did, they would snap their necks.
She was surprised, and I quickly grabbed her wrist and squeezed it, causing her to release it. She grunted, and I smirked. "Ashley Dorcelian. My mistress wants to hire you to work for her as a maid." She glared at me. "And if I recline?" She spat. I smile, and clutched her hand harder, and grabbed her throat.
She gasped. "Then I will this creature to die, that no one wants, who was left alone when she was younger, left to die, to defend herself on the cold streets of London." Ashley's eyes welled up with tears as she gasped. She quite struggling, and fell to her knees.
"So, will you join us?" I ask, sticking out my hand. She sniffed, and looked up. She grabbed my hand, and I pulled her up. Violet laughed and waved down at us. Ashley was surprised a bit, and did a little wave back.
…
I went back, and gave her a room to herself up in the attic, and a maid uniform and bonnet. She went into the bathroom, and I left, hearing her fill up the tub.
I put Violet down to sleep in her bed, it being her nap time, and left to get the next person on my list, Jacob Thomas. Jacob Thomas was an excellent handler of the gun, as well as an excellent gardener. He knew everything on every type of gun there is, and used it effectively. He was an assassin for some one that I hadn't bothered cared to seek out.
Jacob lives alone in the outskirts of London and didn't have much to spare, except his guns, of course. I went to his home, which was a descent little thing. I went up to the door and knocked. What greeted me, was a gun pointed at my head.
"What do you want?" Jacob demanded. I smile. "My mistress would like to recruit you as a chef." I said. He thought. "What's in it for me?" He asked bluntly. "Money, food, and a home at our mansion." I answered.
He thought again, and sighed. "What the heck. I'll be back in a minute, let me get my things." He said. He closed the door, and in ten minutes, he came back, with a hat, two suitcases, a couple of gun cases, and a backpack, probably full of guns, along with the other luggage.
We began to leave, when Jacob stopped. "Shoot, I almost forgot!" He quickly ran inside, and ran back outside, and through a match through a window. The place was engulfed in flames very quickly, almost like an explosion.
"I didn't have enough alcohol…" He whined. And I also forgot that he loved explosives.
…
We went back to the mansion at dusk and I gave him a room that was big enough for at least three or four people to sleep in. Jacob sighed, and plopped down on the bed and sighed. "It's so comfy, never felt anything like it." Jacob sighed.
I gave him a gardener's uniform, and left to get the last person on my list. This one went by the name of Shadow Linton. He was excellent in handling animals. Better yet, he was good a manipulate them, controlling them.
He lived out in the country side, alone from the world. I found his house by a small forest, and a hillside. I went to his house, it too was small, and knocked. It was opened, and a knife was thrown at my head. I quickly caught it with two fingers before it hit my head, and smiled.
A man, Shadow, came to the door, and had a cowl wrapped around his head, his orange and green cat eyes glaring at me. Wait, cat eyes? I frown. 'Only demons and Moonlight had cat eyes…' I thought. "What do you want, demon?" He spatted.
I smile. "Oh, so you know what I am? Are you one as well?" I asked. Shadow frowned. "Of course not! Why would I want to be a demon like you?" He hissed. I frown. Shadow removed his cowl, to reveal… cat ears! My eyes sparkled in delight.
"I'm a neko, not a demon. Nekos are a lot wiser than filthy demons. They can see a lot more things the demons." He spat. I smirked. "Yes, true, but demons are a lot quicker than nekos, and stronger than nekos. Anyways, I didn't come here to argue with you. I came here to give you a job proposal. My mistress wants you to work for her as a gardener. Do you accept?"
Shadow went into thought for a moment, then asked "Only, if I can bring all of my animals." He said. I begin to worry. "And how many is that?" I asked. "I mostly have cats, a few ravens, two monkeys, three horses, quite a few rodents, one rabbit, and one dog." He said.
I sighed. 'It's just one dog, Sebastian. Not a hell hound.' I thought to myself. "I'm sure you can, but I have to check with my mistress, and make room for all of those animals. You can bring some of the cats, and the mutt, I suppose." I said.
Shadow nodded his head, and got his cats, and dog, which was black dog, with a mix of a Doberman, and a Saint Bernard. I sighed. There was going to be a lot dog fur everywhere.
We went back to the mansion, and had the cats in the house, and left the dog outside. Lucky for us, Miss Victoria also lived away from civilization, and near a forest that she owned, so we had plenty of land. I told Shadow to wait in the living room, while I went to ask Victoria if we could keep the animals.
I went to her study, to see her reading a book. She looked up at me, and glared at me. "What do you want?" She muttered. "The last person I need to recruit has only one exception to join us. If he could bring his animals."
"Ah, yes. The animal tamer. I suppose. Do whatever you see fit to make room for the animals." She sighed, and waved me away. I went back downstairs, to see Moonlight's eyes dilating, and her ears, for the first time I noticed them, where twitching, and her tail came out, and was swooshing from side to side.
Shadow's eyes were dilating also, had black cat ears twitching, and his tail came out also, and was swooshing from side to side. "Shadow." I said. They snapped back to normal, but continued staring at each other. "You are allowed to bring your animals here, so why don't you go get them, while we make room for them?" I suggest.
Shadow quickly nodded his head, got up. "Why don't I go with him?" Moonlight suggested. I look at her for a moment, then waved her away. "Be quick." I said, my eyes glowing. She nodded quickly, and they both ran out the door.
I sighed, and turned around, to see Violet at the top of the stairs, crying. I quickly went up the stairs, and examined her over quickly. Nothing looked hurt. "What is it, Violet?" I asked. She sniffed, rubbing her eyes. "I had a bad dream." She whined.
I sighed in relief. It was just a bad dream… I picked her up, and went back to her room. "Come now, it was just a bad dream, nothing more." I said, trying to reassure her. She blinked. There was silence, as I went to her room, then I decided to ask her what was wrong.
"What was it about?" I asked. She sniffed. "I don't remember." She stated. 'Well so much for that.' I thought. "All I can remember was mommy and daddy, and also sissy was in it." She added, then sniffed. I tucked her under the covers, and sighed.
'It must have been about her parents dying of some sort.' I thought. "Cheer up, now, Violet. I need to go. Alright?" She nodded her head, so I left. I quickly went down the stairs, and went outside, quickly building horse stables, and fences.
Moonlight's POV
We ran through town and out to the country side in silence, then Shadow finally broke the silence. "So you're a neko too?" He asked. I shook my head. "I'm a demon." Shadow stopped running. "Well, to be exact, I'm a Dark Angel." Shadow was confused.
"You see, well… Sebastian is my father… and my mother was a angel… and I was born with a jewel, that has the power to manipulate everything. Even the air. And I like to have cat ears and such, so yes… Also, my demon form is a cat so yea…"
"I see…" Shadow murmured. He continued running back to his home, and I did also.
…
We got to his home, and I was surprised. There was a lot of animals. There were three horses, one was a black horse, with a white mane, and white speckles on its rear, another was a beautiful white horse, and the last was golden colored horse, with a black spot around its eye, and dripping down it, making it look like it was crying.
He still had tones more cats, at least twelve, and had five ravens. I gasped. I went up to one, and it squawked. I giggled it, at stuck out my hand for it to go onto it. It began to fly away, but then landed back, and hopped onto my hand. I smile, and giggled.
Shadow walked up behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder, examining me and the raven. I looked up at him and smiled. "Did you do that?" I asked, knowing full well that he was an animal tamer. He shook his head. "No. I'm actually surprised. He's the most aggressive member I have out of all my animals. I'm surprised he didn't start attacking you. I think he really likes you."
I smile. "Really?" I turned back to the raven, who flew up onto my head. I smiled. "He must really like you to jump onto your head." Shadow laughed. I smiled. We got all the cats, and took them to the mansion, along with the one Raven who was glued to me. He wouldn't leave my side.
"What's the raven's name?" I asked. "Storm. I found him when he was a chick out in a dangerous thunderstorm. That storm almost destroyed my house." My eyes widen. "Wow." We went into silence yet again.
…
When we got to the mansion, I could see that Sebastian already had everything ready. He had a building just for the cats, horse stables for the horses, and a smaller home for the rodents. He even made a dog house for the dog. I was surprised.
"You demons can sure work quick." Shadow whistled, examining everything. "I'm surprised Sebastian. You made a dog house." He smirked. "I had to. Your mistress has taken a liking to the mutt." I sigh. "It figures." I muttered.
Suddenly, the raven squawked and flew over to Sebastian, and landed on his shoulder. I sigh. "I guess, that too figures." Micheal was confused. "What? Cause you two are father and daughter?" I smiled. "No, silly! Sebastian's demon animal is a raven!" There was silence, then Shadow broke it.
"So your father doesn't like dogs either, then? I don't like them myself, mostly cause I am a cat, but I came across him one day when I was younger. He killed another dog that was bigger than a horse, that was attacking me." He explained. 'Yup, defiantly a hellhound.' I thought.
"Interesting, so that's why you kept him." Sebastian said. Shadow nodded. "He's mostly a guard dog for my home, and I guess he can be here too." Shadow said. I sigh. "Come on, then! Let's get the other animals!"
…
We went back, Storm flying back to me once we got there, and we got on the horses. I chose the black one, and I asked him what its name was. "Eclipse." He answered. I smile. "That's a lovely name." I said, while petting the horse's silky mane.
I got onto it, and Shadow onto the white one. "What's the white horse's name?" I asked. "Moonlight." He answered.
I smile. "That's funny. That's my name as well." Shadow was surprised. "I've never met anyone whose name was Moonlight." I laughed. "My mother said I was born beside a lake that glowed from the moonlight." Shadow smiled. "It sounds lovely. A lot more than mine, I was born in a cave." I smile.
"To me, that too is a lovely place. I love the darkness." Shadow's gaze soften, and smiles. We rode the horses back, the monkeys on our shoulders, at put them in the stables. We took the monkeys, Mojo, Jinks, and Tobi.
We released them into the mansion, and the immediately went on top of the chandelier. I sigh, getting tired. "Here, I'll get the rest of the animals. Why don't you stare here?" Shadow suggests. I smile. "That sounds good." I wave and went up the stairs, to my room.
Sebastian's POV
I watched from the shadows, what Moonlight and Shadow were doing. As soon as Moonlight disappeared in the hallway up the stairs, I came out, and grabbed Shadow by the throat. I smile. "Another thing we demons have is that we are immortal. I wonder if you nekos are as well…" I begin to clutch his neck tighter, and he gasps, his eyes dilating.
His nails sharpened, and sank them in my hands, which had no effect on me. I smile. "Now I'm going to say this once. No funny business with my daughter. Got it?" I questioned. He gasped, and nod his head. I drop him, and he scoots back.
He had a scared look in his eyes, and of course, he was gasping. I stare down at him, my eyes glowing, and he got scared. "Alright!" He gasped. He quickly got up, and ran out the door, back to his home. I smile. 'Good.' I thought.
I turn around, sighing again, having to check on Moonlight's mistress. I check on them, to see them safe and sound. "Good." I whispered to myself. Now I was able to do what I wanted to do…
I quickly went down the stairs, and outside, and went up the building. I entered, and quickly grabbed the nearest creature next to me, a Siamese cat. "Oh, you're so soft…" I whispered, as I spent the rest of my night in the Cat House.
Shadow's POV
I got the rest of the animals, and put them in the rightful house that that stupid butler made for them. I wasn't going to listen to him. I'll fall in love with whomever I want, even if it was Moonlight. It was kinda hard not to fall for her. She was beautiful, and had a wonderful personality.
I didn't know where I was supposed to go, so I wander around the mansion. I hear something behind me, and hear a gun shot. Before I had time to react, I was pushed over, and heard a gasp. I look up to see Moonlight with a whole through her forehead, as she stood there, with her mouth open, blood trickling down her face.
Her knees buckled underneath of her, and she fell to her side. I gasped, and looked up to see a man with a gun. "Shoot, wrong person." He sighed. I sit up, and grabbed Moonlight and shook her. She glowed blue, and opened her eyes.
She sat up, and coughed up the bullet. Her eyes were like Sebastian's as she stood up. The man dropped his gun. She was about to flick the bullet at his head, when Sebastian appeared out of nowhere, and grabbed her hand, and covered her mouth.
She was surprised and looked up at Sebastian. He smiled. "Moonlight, this here is Jacob Thomas, our chef. Jacob, this is Moonlight Michaelis, one of our maids. This fool behind me is your roommate, Shadow Evans. Jacob, why don't you show Shadow your room?"
Moonlight's POV
Jacob sighs, and grabs Shadow the arm, and drags him away. I did a little wave, and he waves back. I stare after him, and Sebastian whips me around. I was taken aback, and Sebastian had a serious face on. I was scared.
He grabbed my cheeks with one hand, and got real close to my face. "Listen here, my dear. You are not to be doing anything with that cat, go it? This is not coming from the normal butler you see every day, no, this is coming from your father. You are too young, only twelve. If I see you doing anything 'funny' with him, literal hell will break out for you, and you will have to say goodbye to him for good. Got it?"
I quickly nodded my head, and he released my cheeks. Then, out from the blue, Sebastian pulls me into a hug. I was surprised. "You know that I do love you, right?" I nod. "Good, now go back to bed. You've got an important day tomorrow." He whispered. I nod, and turned around, and walked into my bed room door, which was right next to me.
'What did he mean, You had an important day ahead of you?' I thought, as I lied down in my bed, pondering hard. I couldn't think of it, and ended up falling asleep.
Moonlight: Oh hohoho! Didn't think Moonlight was that young, huh? :3 Well, she is. Actually, she's been twelve in all of the stories, so… yea…
Anyways, hope you enjoyed!
