Hey, guys! I bet I surprised you, huh? Well, I thought about it long and hard. I decided to upload this chapter tonight; it's nighttime where I am. I do apologize if this chapter isn't as long as I planned it to be; you see I know my life is starting to get chaotic again, so I decided to upload this chapter today. So without further ado, here is Chapter 7. Oh, and don't forget to review, your reviews make me upload faster. And I would like to thank Happyhelper83 for your review. Enjoy.
Chapter 7
I was finally untied, the endless torture I have received from the spider demon left me sore and broken. I surprisingly wanted to return to Sebastian, I wanted to be safe. Why didn't I listen to him? Why am I so stupid? I got a warning and I ignored it, I deserved what I got.
When the butler told me that I could see Alois, I stared at him blankly. "I want to go home." I told him, surprising myself that I said 'home', when this wasn't even my time. The demon smirked at me and shook his head. "I'm afraid not, you will be staying here for now on."
I didn't say anything after that, I just turned around and walked away. I don't know how long I will make it; I wish I could rewind time so I won't be in this situation. A sign passed my lips. When I came through a hallway I saw a window, it showed a perfect view of a garden. I stopped in my tracks, turned on my heel and made my way to the window. As I looked at the beautiful garden, I caught a glimpse of a dark figure moving in the woods near the garden.
"Who is that?" I said, mostly to myself. Curiosity got the best of me, so I tried to find a way to the garden, when I didn't I went back to the window. I looked around to see if anybody saw me and when I saw nobody, I opened the window and climbed out of it. When I landed gracefully on the ground, which surprised me to no end, I made my way to the front of the woods.
"Hello?" I called out, looking around for the dark figure. When I heard rustling, I snapped my head to the direction of the noise, slowly making my way to it. "Hello? Who's there?" I asked, not caring who it was, only as long as it could help me try to escape this hell I was in. "Isabella?" A voice called out, it sounded familiar. When I saw the dark figure emerge from the woods, I start to laugh at whom I was seeing. "Sebastian!" Now this person can help me escape.
"Are you okay?" He asked me, that's when I stopped in my tracks. I thought about his question and shook my head, looking at the ground my bangs covering my eyes. "No, that bastard he-" I didn't finish my sentence; I was shuddering at the memory of what happened last night.
"What did he do to you?" He asked me, grabbing my shoulders. I looked up at him through my bangs. "He, uh, raped me." I murmured, feeling awkward at saying that. His grip on me tightened. His eyes were flashing, fangs showing. He let me go and disappeared. I walked to a tree and slumped down on the ground, using the tree to support my back. I pulled my knees to my chest and put my head on them.
"Why, why does this have to happen to me? I had enough done to me in the past." I muttered under my breath, my eyesight getting blurry as my old memories came rushing through my head. The basement, those men, the abuse, them almost killing me. I was so scared, I thought I was going to die, but when they left I used what time I had to escape. When I escaped I moved away from that retched city, that state. I never saw those men ever again.
"Isabella?" A voice asked, I ignored it knowing it was Ceil. If he saw me in such a state I wouldn't hear the end of it. It was then when I felt a hand on my shoulder, it started to shake me. I peeked up at the boy. "What?" I muttered. He stared at me blankly. "Are you alright?" He asked, the tone of his voice made it sound like he didn't care how I felt. So I shrugged. "Does it really matter?"
I got up and walked back to the manor, maybe if I'm lucky I might run into Sebastian, wherever the hell he went.
His body was shaking from rage. 'No one should do that to my mate, she's mine and only mine.' He thought as he faced the spider demon in front of him, a smirk was on that filthy demons face. "What brings you here?" He asked, his smirk getting bigger at seeing Sebastian snarl at him. "My mate. You touched her." He said through gritted teeth, his fist clenched.
"Oh yes. She had her innocents until I took it away from her." He said, licking his lips at the memory. That just made Sebastian angrier. "You'll pay for what you have done." He growled, his fangs showing. That just only made Claude chuckle. "Oh really? And how will you accomplish that, huh?"
" You defiled her innocents, it sickens me to no end. You make me sick." That statement just made the spider demon laugh some more. "Oh, well she didn't seem to mind as she was screaming my name." He said, fixing his spectacles on his face.
The spider demon stood there as a woman walks up to him. Sebastian didn't see her standing in the corner of the room, he wondered if she had been here the whole time. Claude stepped behind the woman, taking his gloves off. He put his hand on her cheek and slowly sliding it towards her mouth, when he got to his destination he put his hand in her mouth, shoving it down her throat causing her to gag. When he pulled his hand out of her mouth he was holding a green and yellow sword. "It's been quite some time since I used this." Claude informed, his face showing no emotion.
"Oh?" Sebastian said, his lips forming a tiny "o". Sebastian started to do his infamous close-eyed smile. "Even with that sword, I'll still defeat you." Claude shook his head, a frown on his face "Now don't get so cocky, Sebastian."
A laugh was heard. "Ole!" Called out a voice. Sebastian took a glance toward the voice. Who would say such a random thing? He turned his attention back to Claude when he knew that it was no other than Alois Trancy.
"Yeah, Sebastian, ole." Called out a voice that made Sebastian get his full attention to. It was no other than his soon to be mate, Isabella, and his young master, Ceil. Ceil wasn't the one to say such a thing, though. "Look who I found Claude. Ceil Phantomhive and this lady." He said in a cheerful voice.
"What the hell do you mean by 'this lady'?" Isabella shouted out, her eyebrow twitching. "I have a name, you know. All you have to do is ask." She said flailing her arms wildly. Alois stared at her and laughed. "You're funny, you know that?"
Isabella scoffed, crossing her arms across her chest and turned her head with her eyes closed. "I'm not funny, I act like this." Alois smirked. "So you always act like a child?" Isabella marched up to the boy and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, pulling his close to her face. "Like hell I act like a child."
"Actually, you do, Isabella." Ceil deadpanned, staring at Sebastian. "Sebastian, we are not here to start something. We were here to retrieve Isabella, now lets go."
"Yes, my Young Master." He said, his face stoic and walked towards Ceil and Isabella. "No, Ceil, Isabella, how about you become my guest for the night. I mean it is late." Isabella's eyebrow twitched again. "It's daytime." She deadpanned. "Let's go, Isabella." Ceil said, Isabella nodded and walked up to Ceil and Sebastian.
"Claude informed me that you wanted to see me." Alois said, gaining the trios attention. "Maybe some other time." She said and walked off with Sebastian and Ceil. "Well, I don't have any other time. Now would be perfect. What did you want to see me about?" The Trancy boy asked, smirking at the trio.
"Well, I saw you, now I must be leaving, sorry for the, uh, inconvenient. Maybe some other time, you know when you're available." She said, laughing a little. When the trio was out of sight Alois took a glance at the spider demon. "Claude, you will bring Ceil Phantomhive and that lady here." He said with a grin on his face. "Yes, Your Highness." He said, bowing and went off.
"Ceil, you will be mine." The boy muttered under his breath. "And that woman, she will be here just for my entertainment. Yes, my entertainment." He said and then started laughing.
I was now in a carriage with Ceil, who was across the seat from me, he was glaring at me. "Heh, nice weather, huh?" Ceil ignored my question and continued giving me the death glare. "Uh, can you quit looking at me like that?" I asked, he just kept giving me the death glare.
I let a sign past my lips. 'Oh, let this day past quickly.' I told myself. 'We have much more to talk about once we arrive back at Young Masters home.' Sebastian told me telepathically; I looked out the window, watching trees pass by. I rested my head in the palm of my hand, my arm resting on the window. I closed my eyes; I never did realized how tired I was until I shut my eyes. I let the darkness consume my mind; another dreamless sleep was coming my way.
I was jerked forward, as the carriage came to its final stop. I landed face first on the floor of the carriage. "Ouch." I murmured on the floor. I got up and looked out the window. The sky wasn't blue anymore; it was black, meaning nighttime, meaning another lecture from Sebastian. I guess you could say I deserve it, I mean I am the one who didn't listen to him. Heh, if I just listened to him I wouldn't be in this mess, but no I had to go see Alois, which I technically didn't. Boy, am I stupid.
"Isabella, did you hear me?" The demon butler asked. I look up at him and shook my head. "No. Sorry, what did you say?" I asked, getting out of the carriage, ignoring Sebastian's hand. "I asked if you were going to stay in the carriage, but it may seem you are already out." He said with his closed-eyed smile.
"Yeah." I deadpanned and walked off. I felt a had grab my arm. "Isabella, why didn't you listen to me?" He asked, his face hiding all emotion. I shrugged. "I guess I wanted to see Alois." I pulled my arm out of his hand, luckily he let me go.
I folded my arms across my chest, trying to act as if this was all a dream. A nightmare. But I knew, I knew that this was reality, I knew this is what happens when people don't listen, if they get a warning they shouldn't ignore it, but acknowledge it. They end up getting hurt, causing pain and suffering to others around them, while that person drowns in there sorrows.
That's how I feel right now, and I'll tell you this, it's the worst feeling ever. All I had to do was listen. Why didn't I listen to my warning? Why did I ignore it? I shook my head at what I was thinking. I had it coming, I caused this to myself. I always start something, somehow. All I had to do was listen, that's all I had to do. I didn't have to rip out a lung and an organ; all I had to do was listen. So if something likes this happens again, I will acknowledge the people giving me a warning, I swear it.
"Sebastian, I'm ready to go back to bed. We've retrieved Isabella, now I need some sleep, seeing as she was the one who woke me up." Said the young earl with a yawn. "Certainly, my lord." Sebastian replied with a nod. Ceil made his way to his room, Sebastian hot on his heels.
When Ceil made it to his bedroom door, he was the first to break the silence. "Sebastian, I want you to keep Isabella by your side. Knowing her, she will end up bothering me, she is the last person I want to see right now." Sebastian placed his hand over his heart and bowed. "Certainly, My Lord."
Ceil opened his bedroom door and made his way to his bed, while Sebastian went to his drawer to retrieve his nightgown. "I'm serious, keep her away from me for awhile. She did such a foolish thing, she obviously doesn't have common sense." Ceil said as Sebastian pulled off Ceil's shirt. Sebastian narrowed his eyes.
Yes, it is true; she could have use common sense instead of being oblivious to that demons statement. Sebastian thought as he pulled down his young masters nightgown over his head. 'All she had to do was listen to me.' He thought, while buttoning Ceil's nightgown.
But what really ticked Sebastian off about her was her scent. She reeked of that demon. He couldn't remember when the last time he was ever that angry. He could have destroyed that demon if it wasn't for his master. Oh, how he would enjoy watching that demon die a slow and painful death. He would give anything to do just that at the moment. As he pulled the covers over his young master his mind wondered back to Isabella. Did she actually enjoy what the damned demon did to her as he said? No, she is probably as disgusted as he was.
He stood up and straightened his tailcoat and walked out of his master's room. He had no need of light since of his demonic eyesight. So many questions were running through his head at that moment as he was making his way to Isabella's room, but only one he was going to ask out of all of them. Why did she not listen to him?
I was at the edge of my bed with my head in my hands. I wish I had listened. I wish I listened to Sebastian, hell, I even wished I listened to my conscience, but nope. I can't change what I've done, I had it coming. So why am I here with my head in my hands? Well, it's simple, actually. I might have deserved what happened to me, but Sebastian and Ceil didn't. No, they should have just left me there. They went through all that trouble just to get me. I mean Sebastian almost got into a fight and Ceil, he was just plain out pissed.
I heard the bedroom door open and close. "Isabella," Oh, you know it's serious when he doesn't use 'my mate', but I'm glad he didn't. I would never consider myself his mate. "We need to talk." I turned my head towards him. He was right in front of the door. "Before we do. I need to get this off my chest. You reek of that demon, okay?" He deadpanned. I turned my head and put it back in my hand. "Yeah?" I muttered.
"The scent is strong." He told me. When I opened my mouth to say something, I found myself pinned to the bed. "It smells horrid." He told me as he put his face close to mine. I turned my head. "Okay." I deadpanned, closing my eyes.
"I can't stand the smell." He whispered in my ear. "Okay." Was my only reply. "I could have killed him, you know." He stated. I merely shrugged. "Okay." He got up off of me. "What happened to you? You would have already asked me to unhand you, what's on your mind?" He asked. I looked at him, sitting up, and shrugged. "Yeah? I know it would have been useless. Nobody listens to me." I told him with a shrug.
He frowned. "Is that what happened, huh? Nobody listens to you? All you had to do was listen to me, you know? If you only listened to me, you won't be in this situation." I shot up off the bed. "You don't think I don't know that? What you have said is true, if I had listened to you, I would not be in this mess. I would be happy, not, not like this." I told him, clenching my fist. "If I listened to you, I wouldn't have gotten raped, now would I?" I told him as I marched up to him, my fist still clenched.
"Why didn't you listen to me?" He asked me, his face hiding his emotions, if he had any. "I guess I just wanted to see Alois." I muttered under my breath, unclenching my fist. "He tricked you, couldn't you have seen that? You were the first one to ask about that child, not once did he mention him." I stared at him blankly. He was right, he never did mention Alois, and I was the first to mention him, therefore made it easier for him to get me without any troubles.
I signed. "Your right, he didn't mention him, I did. So this whole thing is my fault." I muttered, looking at the floor, my bangs hiding my face again, right now I feel like going in an emo corner, how sad. "It's all my fault, I'm sorry." I muttered under my breath. If this was my fault, then why is everyone going through this? It should be only me going through this, not anybody else. "I know." Sebastian said with a sign.
"I should have listened to you, if I did we wouldn't be going through this right now. But I have a question for you too. Why are you acting as if you went through this? I went through it, not you." I told him, glancing at him. He just stared at me blankly. Who knows what he is thinking? "I don't know how many times I have already told you, but I'll tell you again. You are my mate, Isabella. So if you go through something like this. I have to deal with it. But I'll let you know this, I could care less what you are going through right now, you should have listened to me." And with that he walked out, silently closing the door behind him.
Surprisingly, Sebastian came back in the room, but he sat in a chair, away from me, not that I mind. But damn, he must be that pissed. Normally, Sebastian would have been all in my ass. But right now I was in front of Ceil, Sebastian standing next to him like the good little demon butler he was. Ceil was glaring at me the moment I came in his office and sat down. "Have anything to say, Isabella?"
I shrugged. "Nah, I'm fine. So what are we going to do today?" I asked him, changing the topic. He slammed his hands down on the desk, rising up from his chair. It made my jump a little. "Enough! You woke me up, went with someone you know you don't know, ignored me and Sebastian's commands to stay away, and make us go through all the trouble to get you. I should have just gone back to bed and pretend like you never came here." He said, muttering the last part under his breath, but I heard him. My eyebrows knitted together. "You know what? Fuck you! You didn't have to go through what I went through. I wish you didn't get me, you should have left me there as if I don't even exist." I told him, standing up from my chair, slamming my hands on his desk, leaning close to his face.
"Don't say such vulgar words to me! I should kick you out, but no that would be a risk to me. So you will stay away from me, not unless I call you." He yelled at me, getting closer to my face. "I can say whatever the fuck I want, you're not my boss, so you can shut the fuck up and quit your bitching." I told him, only for him to grab the cuff of my shirt and bring me close to his face, to close for my comfort. "That's where you are wrong, you come here out of nowhere, and I get news that you are Sebastian's bloody mate, and not only that, but you know about Sebastian and me. What am I suppose to do? I should order him to kill you, end your pathetic life, and keep you out of mine, as if I never met you." He yelled in my face, causing me to winch at the volume of his voice. "Maybe you should, so I won't have to see your damn face anymore." I yelled back, a frown forming on my face. Ceil let go of my shirt and stood up. "Fine. Sebastian, I order you to end this woman's life." He commanded, taking his eye patch off, I stood up as I watched it glow purple.
"My Lord, I'm afraid I cannot do that." Sebastian signed. Ceil's eyes widened. "What do you mean you can't do that?" He exclaimed. "She is my mate, therefore I cannot kill her." He told him, his face indifference. Ceil frowned. "Dammit, this is an order. End her, now!" He told him, yelling out the last part. This time I spoke up. "Dude, just calm the hell down. I understand you don't like me at the moment cause I ruined your beauty sleep." I told him, watching his facial expression change fast. "That's not it! You have become quit bothersome since you arrived here, I could care less if you are Sebastian's mate, if he won't kill you than I will!" I told me, stepping away from his desk, damn does this boy have some guts to say something like that. I smirked. "Then do it. I dare you." I told him, my smirk turning into a wicked grin. He clinched his fist and charged at me. 'Looks like someone's calm demeanor changed.' I thought as I looked at Ceil's facial expression, it was pure rage and it was because of me.
Well, there is Chapter 7, tell me what you think? And let me know what you think is going to happen next. Don't forget to review and see you on the next chapter.
Yours truly, DarkPhye
