Out of all the Kuroshitsuji stories that I've read so far, this has got to be my favorite story. I hope you continue writing. :D
Seriously love to hear from you they make me happy especially after a review like that ^.^
I have left some hints for all of you through out the story and a link to a pic reference on my profile (if you haven't seen it) as to what Celest really is, can anyone tell me what she is?, extra brownie points if you can( what she is will be reveled in the next chapter or perhaps the one after that, but its almost here). ok ok with this chapter it starts off a little jumbled.
its all in Sebastian's pov it starts off in the present then he's having a flash back and then back to present. it goes a little fast just cause i didnt feel it was necesary to restate everything. ok sorry if i confuse some of you if i do dont hesitate for me to clear things but cause i will if you need it. ok dokey thanks all enjoy.....
i dont own Kuroshitsuji, only my own characters........
Chapter 7
I looked down to her she looked so peace full so beautiful. I knew she wasn't human not after what she did to the "doctor", but the way she acts everything about her feels human. I continued to gaze down at her, as we lay together I couldn't help but pull her closer to me. The warmth of her skin the feel of her curves as my hand moves around them. I can't get enough of her could it be because of what she is or is it just her, whatever the reason she has completely overwhelmed my senses.
She has her head on my shoulder while her lips are only a few millimeters away from my skin. I move my hand down her back to lift her leg around me, diving in to capture her soft warm lips again I stop. How could I be so blind the things this women dose to me, I'm even dreaming of her now. This is not a good sign how can she be driving me to this, she is becoming a distraction I can't afford. Well not entirely but for me to be dreaming of her is absurd this is only my lust my desire to have her nothing more.
I open my eyes to see the ceiling above my bed I quickly make myself presentable. As I walk down the endless hallways I find myself thinking of her again. My desire of her might not be the only reason for my dream, the event of the last few days might have also been a contributing factor. I have been spending a considerable amount of time with Celest beyond that of work or her lessons. The night of her return she started to have nightmares I thought nothing of it at first what occurred to her would have left her with some emotional baggage. Whether she remembered it or not those nightmares were real enough to her.
My night with her was simply to avoid any further screaming, her screams could have woken up the entire manor. When I entered her room I found her on the floor shaking the sight of her was too pitiful that I felt something strange. I kneeled down next to her and took her in an embrace that would have left anyone else completely out of breath. We stayed like that for some time until I could feel her shaking die down.
I moved my head back to see her closed eyes her breathing had become normal again but her grip around my waist would not waver. I lifted her up and carried her to the bed, at first I had every intention of leaving her but having her scream out again would only draw unnecessary attention. However looking at her now I couldn't leave her whether I wanted to or not. We laid down on the bed together and I watched over her that night while her grip around my waist never released.
That seemed to have worked until the next night, I could hear her scream resonating down the hall. I once again enter her room to discover her in the same position as before, this continued on to the next night as well. Her nightmares were becoming a disturbance to my routine but I would never leave her to deal with them alone. Every night as if on schedule she would shack in her sleep and rise from her bed screaming. I would wrap my arms around her before she could move out of the bed and we would stay like that until she fell back asleep.
It became a nuisance for me to wait until she awoke to stop her from screaming if my presence was all that was required for her to sleep well through the night I could always stay for the whole night. So I did after our lessons I would leave Celest in her room when I was sure she was asleep I would return and lay in bed besides her. At first it appeared she didn't notice until she started moving closer to me, just like all the other nights we would be entangled with each other by morning.
So I wouldn't have to give so many explanations I would always make sure to leave her just before she awoke. Having to explain why I was in bed with her would only cause more problems. Even though I was not present in the morning when she awoke I could tell she somehow knew I was there. It didn't matter to me if she knew or not, however she didn't comfort me about it she simply continued to smile and greet me as always.
We had moved into the town house to start working on the jack the ripper case. I had thought of leaving Celest with the other servants but if her nightmares were to happen while I was absent I wouldn't know how to explain it. I knew she would be more capable of keeping the manor in order instead of those other household servants but I would rather have her close to keep an eye on her.
The young master had no opposition on brining her along, I believe the young master enjoys her company for several reasons. She doesn't speak about useless things, she carries around her this air of peace and for the young master I believe he sees in her a mother figure, which he would never admit. Never the less she looks at him in a way that resembles the love a mother would have whether she realizes or not, I'm sure she would do anything the young master asked not because it was an order but because she wishes to see him happy. The things humans do or in this case those who believe themselves to be human.
When we arrived at the town house we found a few unexpected guests. However even if unexpected they are still guest and must revive the proper Phantomhive hospitality. After preparing tea we left to start investigations on the case. I didn't want Celest to be exposed to such atmospheres so I instructed her to stay at home having cleaning what need be and having dinner prepared for when the young master returned. Sure enough when we had returned the entire house was spotless and you could smell dinner being taken out as well.
While investigating potential suspects we discovered the name of a Viscount Druitt to fit the criteria for a potential suspect. Tonight he will be hoisting a party and with the seasonal change this would be the best opportunity. I would rather have Celest away from all of this however after seeing her Madam Red and Lau insisted in having her accompany us as well. Her presence would only be for intelligence purposes if she would encounter anything suspicious she would need to inform me immediately.
Having devised a completely separate cover story from the rest of the group Celest was forced to arrive at the party with her own carriage. As her carriage pulled up I could only imagine the anxiety she must be feeling, this would be her first time not only around far more people but her first time among high society. I was confident enough that my teachings would serve her well however we would just have to wait and see the results. As the door man opened the door to her carriage, I had to make sure not to draw attention to her as she arrived but when she finally stepped out of the carriage I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She was the most beautifully thing I had ever seen.
Madam Red was kind enough to provide a dress that would suite her, at first glance I had my doubts that the dress would be of her taste. However looking at her now she looked radiant, it had several familiarizes with Madam Reds traditional dresses however the color of this dress was a deep blue. It was customary for ladies to wear their hair up however Celest wore her hair down. The natural grace in which her hair curved to her side was breath taking. When the others finally saw her they were just as captivated as I was.
"She's….."
"She's gorgeous."
"Fit to be on the hand of royalty, don't you think."
"We have an objective here, don't forget that."
"Yes of course, shall we go my lady?"
Even without having to move an inch Celest had already draw every ones attention. This could prove to our benefit however with so many people drawn to her it might drove difficult for her to relay anything she learns back to me. We would just have to make do, I motioned for her to enter while we followed soon after. Without a moment's hesitation she was immediately swept away onto the dance floor, while every eligible bachelor and those not so eligible waited their chance to dance with the lady. Honestly these humans can be so predictable at times.
I stayed at the young master's side until he was able to approach the Viscount Druitt. Once he was finally able to approach him, he was sadly interrupted by the surprise appearance of young lady Elizabeth. Having to salvage the situation I immediately took the young master onto the dance floor to drive away the attention of Lady Elizabeth interruption.
As we moved to the rhythm of the music I spotted Celest across from us in the company of man that was old enough to me her father. However just like I had taught her she accepted the dance as politely as possible. I could see that she wished this song would end soon as possible, if the circumstances were any different I could of assisted her in that wish. However the situation being as it was I could not. The dance ended soon after, proving that the young master had to stamina for it. The Viscount arrived shortly after intrigued with the young master, I left the young master in his company returning to the dance floor.
I searched for Celest hopping to be able to assist her. However she was no were to be found I looked through the crowd to spot the young master with the Viscount just as they were about to leave lady Elizabeth had spotted them as well. She was making her way toward the young master and the Viscount, I quicken by pace having to stop this encounter. As I approached Lady Elizabeth the lights suddenly blew out. Everyone in the room as in shock at first, the only candles that weren't out were the ones close to the orchestra. As everyone looked toward the orchestra you could see a figure standing in front of them. As everyone's eyes adjusted to the light it was clear to see it was a women, even with that mask on there was no doubt in my mind of who that women was.
Celest stood in front and motioned for the orchestra to start, the sound of strings resonated over the entire room drawing everyone's attention including Lady Elizabeth's. The rhythm started off slow; easy enough for even the young master to be able to keep up with. I suddenly hear something I thought I would only hear in my dreams. The sound of Celest singing was magical totally and completely enchanting, she had the entire room transfixed on her. As the staff worked diligently to relight the candles around the room there was no brighter light then the one around her.
When her song finally ended the room was filled with applause with this opportunity the young master was able to leave with the Viscount. Celest was about to make her way off the stage but was stopped by the crowd of people asking for another. At first she refused but was eventually pushed into another song by the overly anxious crowd. Being able to hear her sing again was something I could only support, her voice was like hearing the angles themselves sing…. which I doubt they would ever do in front of someone like me.
The instruments started playing slow and steady as her voice came out as gracefully as before.
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
In the middle of the song I couldn't help but take advantage of the situation. As she sang I came to stand at her side, without a word I took her into my arms and onto the dance floor. Even as surprised as she was she didn't miss a beat as I lead her toward the floor and placing my hand in hers and the other on her waist. We moved completely in rhythm with not only the song but with each other, it was as if we were made for each other. Which only a human would ever consider such a thing to be true. As the song came to a close we moved over to the balcony, even after the she stopped singing we continued to dance. The crowed to my surprise was wise enough to let us be, although I could hear some arguing among some of her admirers.
We continued to dance to the sound of the music, we were standing so close in traditional standards it was completely inappropriate but at that moment we didn't care. I moved my hand to the middle of her back pushing her closer to me, she didn't resist she moved closer to me almost instinctively leaning her head on my chest. We swayed back and forth as our pace slowed down to a few mire steps. I moved my hand from her back almost as if on cue she lifted her head from my chest. I moved her chin up with my hand so she could look at me, as we gazed at each other's eyes I lowered my head towards her. Only a few millimeters away from her "no doubt" soft warm lips I suddenly stopped hearing the young masters call.
Somehow it appeared that Celest could sense something was wrong, she suddenly stepped away from my embrace.
"Go"
Without having to ask anything else I released my hold on her and started walking away, I stopped as I was about to reenter the ball room to look back at her.
"It's best if you take your leave as well."
"Alright."
I left Celest on the balcony while I made my way toward the young master. Retrieving the young master prove to be no great feat, we were finally able to make it back home where Celest had already prepared tea for the young master. After tea the young master retreaded to bed for the night, I made my way to the kitchen to clean and make sure everything was where it should be. After everything was done I made my way toward Celest's room when I suddenly heard a scream and a crash. I quickly entered Celest's room to discover the mirror broken and Celest on the floor her hands covering her face while she shuck uncontrollably. I walked toward her kneeling down next to her I place a hand on her shoulder, she turns to look at me and all I can see in her eyes is the sight of pure terror.
Without having to think about it I wrap my arms around her in a tight embrace. After a second she wrapped her arms around my neck pushing me so that I have to lean against the bed. This embrace was different from the ones we had shared other nights this one seemed far more real. The other nights she was half asleep only wrapping her arms around my waist as I waited for her to fall back asleep. Now she wasn't about to fall asleep, she was still wearing her dress it looked like she was in the middle of changing when she broke the mirror. I didn't see any blood on the floor with the shards of broken glass or on her.
She had her legs spread on each side of my waist leaning in so close to me I couldn't help but feel somewhat excited. I moved my hand to be on her back to calm her shaking, as the other moved to her leg working its way up and down her thigh. Using the hand I had on her back I started to loosen the laces that constricted her. When I had finally finished untying them I could feel her calm down her grip around my neck had loosened.
"Celest"
"Yes"
"Are you alright?"
"No"
"Is there something I can do for you?"
"Can you stay here with me like this?"
"Of course, however we should get you changed we wouldn't want to ruin your dress."
"Sebastian."
"Yes?"
"How did you know I needed you?"
"Just a coincidence, I heard you scream and then the sound of the broken mirror."
Mentioning the mirror only caused her to bury her head in my shoulder, it mustn't be good memory. What could she have seen to cause her such unrest, the other times she has screamed out was while she was dreaming but now she was fully awake.
"Sebastian"
"Yes?"
"I saw something, I've seen things in my dreams…….. horrible things. But this time I saw it in the mirror."
"What was it?"
"I… I'm not sure. When I tried to get a better look the mirror shattered."
"That's unusual."
"Sebastian….. am… I.. human?"
"Human?.... You certainly act like a human."
"That's not an answer."
"Whether you're human or not does not change the way I see you. I can assure you that it wouldn't change the way the young master or the other see you as well."
"How can you be so sure?"
"We really should get you out of those clothes."
"Sebastian."
"Yes?"
"Thank you"
"You're quite welcome."
Even after asking her to change her clothes she didn't move from her spot, after some silence I started hearing her voice. It was low almost a whisper but I could hear her clearly her lips being so close to my ear how could I not. She was singing the same song she had when we shared that dance. I didn't interrupt her I only moved my arms around her to have her closer to me, allowing her mesmerizing voice to remove the desire I had to remove her dress my any means necessary.
After all I have orders to treat her like a lady, perhaps we could indulge in how a lady would like to be treated in those settings at a different time. Right now having her this close, indulging in her scent, her warmth, even her voice was enough…. for now.
