Now what did you think Mei-Rin did after receiving that invitation? She left as soon as she saw that moon he spoke of, which was a few days after the ball. The date was left with a few love quotes and a meal in one of the most expensive restaurants in London. They had a somewhat romantic evening, and Mei-Rin fell in a matter of seconds. Yes, he looked like Sebastian, with the exception of his glasses and eyes, and he talked almost like Sebastian. The height, the way he'd dress, everything reminded her of him. Maybe that was why, but she did. She fell in love. She was being loved.
Claude in the other hand, feel enchanted with her. She gave him that heat he was desperately looking for. She gave him that thrill of going out on dates and having to woo her to get her into his spider web. All the spider wanted was to tangle this innocent butterfly into his deadly thread. Once again, he didn't care at all for her, not even if her soul was a waist of his time. He just wanted a soul, even if it were not worthy.
Night began to fall, and it was finally Mei-Rin's time to go bed for the day. It had been an awfully long day of work, and to her surprise, she felt glad that she could rest peacefully now. She dressed herself for bed, quickly laying on the bed and setting her head onto the pillow. "Goodnight." She wished herself before letting her eyes slowly shut and fall into deep slumber.
"Hey! Who are you?!" She screamed, her body completely soaked as the weather worsened. It was dark, the street was empty. The only ray of light was given by the red moon. The rays over a man who had his head down. Black wings quickly spread, feathers of the same color flowing around the wind. His head lifted, but all she could see was a rack of sharp teeth as his mouth. "Answer me!" She shouted once more.
"I'm your worst nightmare love." He chuckled darkly, red eyes glowing. He began to walk towards her, his black nails growing to be claws. "N-No!" She ran, hearing the heels of both her and him hitting the cold street ground. Her legs feeling as if something had shot them. Falling to the floor, her surroundings changed. Water became blood, and what she thought were buildings became a dark, almost black, mist. Her head turned to see those golden eyes greet her. "Now now… Don't run away like that my little butterfly. I wouldn't want you to get hurt."
She was about to say something before she felt a hand around her throat, choking her slightly, his nails digging into her veins. The pain was unbearable. It felt as if someone had just injected her with the deadliest of poison, yet she was not dying. "Don't fright… The pain will only last forever." He chuckled once more, taking a clawed finger and digging it into the maid's left eye, blood spilling everywhere. Her vision burred, and all she could see was another claw being injected into her other eye.
She screamed as she woke, her body sitting up at the reaction of the nightmare. She was a sweating mess, and her body was shaking horribly. That's when a cold breeze ran through her, making her realize of her nudity, covering herself quickly when she realized so. Looking around, she could only see chains hanging from the ceiling. Black colored candles lighting up the room. "U-Umm… Hello?" She asked, feeling someone else in the room. Chains moved quickly by themselves, taking hold of her wrists and ankles, lifting her of the bed and making her body form an X shape.
"Well well… Look who we have here trapped in my little web." A familiar dark chuckle rung her ears.
"N-No! Stop!" She screamed. Was she still in that nightmare?
"Now now…" Chains tightened their grip and stretched her more. "Calm down my little butterfly. I won't hurt you… At least not now." An almost psychopathic laugh escaped his lips. The pure white bed sheet slithered up her, wrapping around her tightly, creating a dress. It was almost like a wedding gown, but it was short lived as it began to color itself red, then black, blood beginning to drip down the girl's leg. "What do you want from me?!" She sobbed, a crown made of red roses forming on her head. Thorns began to dig into her head, making her blood boil like lava.
"I want your soul, Mey-Rin. Unfortunately, since my master was a waste and your master won't sacrifice his life for you, then I may as well make a meal out of you." He chuckled darkly and began to walk towards her, chains now letting her wrists and ankles breathe, yet it wasn't a good feeling. Her body leaned forward and she was too weak, too scared to move even a single muscle. "W-Why me? Why torcher me? I never did anything to provoke this…" She sobbed, her tears turning into blood.
"Your soul, it gives me the heat I seek. Innocent yet… how do I say this? Provocative." He chuckled once more. The once invisible figure walked into the light. A grin only growing, showing his razor sharp teeth. "C-Claude?" She looked up to him, a small smile forming on her lips. Her hair being yanked forwards, closer to his head. "Smiling will get you nowhere. Once you wake you'll see what it has cost you." He laughed and pushed her away, chains breaking easily and her body falling on the bed.
Eyes opened and her room was filled with the sun's warm rays. Her body weak from the nightmares she had that night. "Morning…" She wished to herself, letting a yawn out as she sat back up. "Hello…"
"What? Who's there?!" She looked around the room, seeing that no one was there.
"The demon walked around. Turning smiles upside down. He's to come to you at four o' two. To make your life go… boom." The voice of a little boy laughed as it faded away.
"Finny…? Bard…? Are you toying with me?" She looked around once more, but decided that it could be in her head. She got ready in a matter of minutes, quickening her pace since she'd woken up late. Her glasses fell to the floor, cracking one of the lenses. "I'm so late I'm so late I'm so late!" She repeated to herself, twisting the knob to see it had been locked from the outside. "Hello? Finny, Bard, this isn't funny!" She banged in the door.
"Stop. You'll wake the master." Sebastian was sitting by the window, looking out of it. "And if you do then I'll have to kill you now instead of later."
"W-What?" She turned to him. "H-Have I d-done something to u-upset you M-Mister S-Sebastian?"
"You can drop the act. At least be yourself for the last hours of your life." His head snapped to her. "Since you are to lose your mind in short time." He chuckled and stood.
"L-Lose my…" Her head felt as if it were filled with nothing but air and was about to pop. "Times running out… He will come and get you…" He laughed, being the same little boy as before. "He will rip you to shreds slowly and oh so painfully… Just like he did me… You can run, you can hide, but he will find you… Tick tock tick tock, how time is running out… Tick tock tick tock, you'll fall into the ground… Tick tock tick tock, he'll make you want to shout… Tick tock tick tock…. You're time… Will… Run… Out." He laughed, the sound of it echoing in her head.
"SHUT UP! STOP IT NO!" She went to her knees, swaying back and forth grabbing the roots of her hair. "STOP MOCKING ME!"
"And now you see… You've been ensnared by the spider and now you're stuck in its web. Death is the only thing that will set you free." He walked passed her and to the door. "The master has awoken thanks to your screams, but do enjoy your day." He chuckled, almost laughing, as he left the room, door completely wide open.
