Sebastian's POV
I looked at the thin, red petals that floated through the air. There had to be hundreds of them scattered around my room, coating everything with ovals of vibrant red. Feeling confused as how did all these things keep coming through my window, so I chose to look outside. All I saw was red covering every object in my eysight. A lot of people were looking and pointing at the floating petals. Most of them were dressed in black and various shades of brown, but through the floating petals I could have sworn I'd seen someone wearing red. I shook that thought off. There were all sorts of red petals, my eyes were probably playing tricks on me. I still thought about what the figure looked like, thin, with long legs and excessively long red hair. I imagined how it looked as it disappeared in a blur of red. But it was probably the petals making me see this. I mean, they are everywhere.
As I walked around town looking for the person I saw earlier the petals kept floating in the air. I could smell the sweet odor they produced. The town was still filled with people who were wondering why the petals were floating. It was odd how you couldn't figure out where they were coming from. They almost seemed to never touch the ground, yet if you looked at the cobblestone road, many petals were crushed inbetween the rocks and laying on the road. At this point I was determined to figure out who or what was causing all this. I figured out which way the wind was carrying the petals and went the opposite way. I had already walked to the center of London about half an hour away from where my apartment was. There were not many people around but the petals were still floating from the way I had came from. It was strange how nobody was out.
I kept walking slowly and queitly, in case someone else was around. I stood by the entrance of an alleyway and listened. All I could hear was the wind and the very faint sound of footsteps. I followed the noise. The footsteps were getting slightly louder. Still, there was no sight of anyone. Whoever was walking must be trying to walk queitly, almost like they knew they were being followed. I stopped for a little bit and listened, I noticed that the footsteps had stopped. How strange, I thought. Could it be, that instead of me following the person, that the person was following me? I swiftly turned around. At first I was puzzled at what I saw. It appeared to be a person, who looked like a man, but had feminine features. He had long, red hair that hung down to his waist, and he wore an overcoat of the same color. He let the top of his coat hang around his elbows, showing his white shirt and brown vest. I noticed that the pockets of his overcoat and pants were bulging out.
"What's in your pockets?" I questioned. All he did was just stare at me with yellow-green eyes. For some reason, his face seemed familiar.
"If you can't answer that can you at least tell me your name?" I tryed asking him a different question.
"G-grell" He stammered. It was so queit I could barely hear him say it.
"Well then, pleasure to meet you, I am Sebastian." I might as well tell him my first name.
Grell stood there for about a minute, the before I knew it a blur of red attacked me, and it was all I could do to stay on my feet. I threw him off me in a very nice manner. I could have thrown him against the wall of the nearest building, but I decided not to.
"Okay Grell, I need to know what is in your pockets."
"Whatever you want!" Grell said in a loud voice. Then, in a flamboyant way he turned a circle. Next Grell reached into a coat pocket and threw a handful of red petals that could have only came from a spiderlily.
"How did you find where I live?" I was very curious about this Grell person. He walked close to me and whispered in my ear.
"Someone you know who's name I won't tell you!" Grell was kind of getting on my nerves now, but at least he was honest.
"Well then, I guess I'll just leave if you won't tell me..."
"ALL RIGHT! I'LL TELL YOU! JUST DON'T LEAVE!" Grell seemed like he was about to die if I left. "His name was..."
Grell didn't finish since in the next moment someone, or something jumped down from the top of the building and landed in front of Grell. I couldn't see the back of the things head since it was wearing a cloak. From all I could tell it had a tall shape and long legs. It reminded me of Claude.
"I think Sebastian already knows me too well."
(A/N) Cliffhanger! I bet you know who the person in front of Grell was, but I had fun typing this chapter. I just felt like I had to make Grell appear. Well thanks for reading!
