The next day the elderly woman looked into the room as the door was open since Frances has stepped out for a moment. Sebastian was knitting a pair of mittens for Elizabeth since Frances had asked him to. They were going to be yellow with pink edges.

"Oh dearie. Didn't you like the pattern I gave you?" she asked.

"Madam. I thought you'd left town by now." he looked at her in surprise.

"Oh no dearie I live in this town. I just come to the inn to help out every so often."

"I see." he put down his project. "And no it wasn't that. My...relative lost it." he answered her question with a lie. He didn't want to tell her Frances had thrown it away.

"Oh that's alright." she dug into her purse. "Here I have another."

"Thank you." he smiled. "I promise to take care of it this time."

"You can also do an embroidery of it. The instructions are on the back." she dug into her purse and pulled out a white cloth, thread and a needle. "Here, you can decorate this hankerchief with it. Why not keep it a secret and surprise her with it?"

"Ohh? Then I shall." he took the items. He'd always wanted to try embroidery but didn't have the time to learn how. He noted the thread was black. He wondered why all the materials she'd given him were black and white. But he thought perhaps it was because it saved time on others arguing over colors. She bowed and left just as Frances was walking in.

"Who was that?"

"A nice lady." he replied as he tucked the cloth and thread behind his pillow with the instructions on the pattern. "She was just talking with me for abit."

Sebastian suddenly realized at how protective Frances had become of him. Because she was giving him the eviliest glare that he had ever seen from her. He suddenly wished he had the use of his legs so he could run to his master to hide. "Do not..." she emphasized. "Talk to strangers." she came to the bed and leaned over so her face was only inches from his. "Understand?"

His eyes were wide and he sweated a little. "Yes ma'am..." he squeeked. He kept her eyes on her until she went into the bathroom and closed the door.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Frances leaned on the door to the bathroom and sighed. She didn't know what had come over her. But to hear Sebastian had been talking with people she didn't know. It unnerved her. She told her self it was to ensure that the Dionesses didn't get what they wanted. But the woman she'd seen. She was obviously not associated with them. But the thought of him talking to her. It angered her. She put a hand to her face. "A bath should sooth me." she walked toward the tub.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

While Frances was sleeping Sebastian was working on the embroidery pattern in secret. He didn't need a light to see in the dark. He smiled as he started to see the image come forth from the instructions. He saw that it was part of a flower. As he worked on it throughout the night and he finished he saw it was a black rose. It looked pretty. He'd embroidered it on the corner of the cloth. He jumped when Frances stirred in her slumber. So he quickly put the things away before she noticed.

"Can't sleep?" she asked as she turned to him.

"Ahh...I just woke up." he replied.

"I see...what time is it?" she sat up.

"6 am Marchioness."

"Ah...perhaps now is a good time to set a nice hot bath." she got up and stretched. She was in the pink undergarments she'd bought before. Then she went into the bathroom and started the faucet to fill the tub. Sebastian let out a breath of relief as he wiped at his brow.

"That was a close one." he whispered as he moved the cloth into his pillow case so she wouldn't notice. And stuffed the pattern instructions under the mattress. He didn't understand why the pattern upset Frances so much. But now that he saw how nice it was, he wanted to keep it to use for later. A knock came to the door after he'd hidden the pattern.

"It's me Ciel." came his master's voice.

"Young master i'm afraid she's in the bath at the moment and the door is locked." he attempted to get up. "If your..." he grasped at the bed's post. "Willing to wait a moment longer..." he slowly made his way to the door. "I think I can manage to open it." He started to sweat a little. What should of taken a minute, took Sebastian 30 minutes to get to the door to open it.

Ciel look as he saw the demon panting as he used the wall for support. "Legs still not working properly?"

Sebastian glared at his master. He knew the answer to that very well.

"Well excuse me, when one is dressed like a harlot, many things could be going on." he teased. "For all I know you were making heel marks in the bed."

"I'd slap you...if I could reach you." he attempted to reach for his master. Ciel was purposefully standing just ever so lightly away from the demon. Merely far enough where he couldn't grab him.

"Sebastian, what are you doing out of bed?" Frances asked as she'd been towel drying her hair, she was in a robe and walked over. She helped him get back into the bed. And started massaging his legs to allow some blood to flow through them. They were spazeming horribly. "I see your awake early this morning." she spoke to her nephew.

"Aye. I wanted to see if you would go with me to buy a few things."

"I don't think I should leave Sebastian alone for today. His legs seem to be getting worse instead of better."

Sebastian raised a brow at her, but she couldn't see it since he was looking at her back. The fact that he'd actually managed to get to the door should of been more an improvement than anything.

"Oh? But I heard that I maybe able to buy a device to help his circulation. I wanted your opinion of it since your obviously going to be the main one using it."

"A device to help with circulation?" she looked at him.

"Yes. See it has these two pieces that you hold while another person turns a sort of crank, and the pieces the other person is holding gives the patient a sort of jolt to help with the circulation. I wanted to purchase it seeing as it's my butler that is causing you so much trouble."

Frances stopped massaging Sebastian's legs. "He's not being any trouble...it's my own fault after all. The least I can do is take care of him until he's better."

Ciel gazed upon her as she'd gone silent. Then he looked to Sebastian who simply shrugged. "I think, Marchioness, that maybe you should atleast take a look at it. Maybe it'll help me get better faster." he offered.

"I see...very well then. I shall get ready. I'll bathe you later Sebastian." she replied and went into the bathroom. Ciel blushed when he heard her say she was going to bathe him.

Sebastian leaned over to see if the bathroom door had fully closed. He watched as it closed with a click. Then he motioned for his master to come closer to his side. "Young master your aunt is starting to frighten me." he whispered.

Ciel smirked, "Oh? I thought demons weren't scared of weak little humans." he whispered back.

"Your aunt is no normal human." he whispered. "An elderly woman merely spoke with me last night and your aunt got very upset. Ordering me not to speak with strangers. Of course being told not to speak with strangers doesn't bother me but her reaction did. It's like she's trying to control every little thing I do now." he whispered in a hushed tone.

"That is abit odd." he whispered back.

"And this woman, who is very kind mind you had given me the pattern before. I don't understand why she's becoming so upset over a painfully sweet elderly woman." he leaned into the pillows. "I'm rather sure the Marchioness isn't acquainted with her. Granted she is a noble and entitled to not like anyone. But isn't it rather odd for her manners to be so...unruly?"

"Usually she is a tad more polite to commoners. I myself don't understand." Ciel put a finger to his chin. Her reaction of practically tossing him out of the room was also rather strange. They stopped their conversation the moment she came out of the room.

"Sebastian is there anything you'd like from the shops?" she asked pleasantly. Sebastian looked at her dumbfounded. He wasn't sure if it was a trick or not.

"Ummm, i'm fine."

"How about I get you a nice peach from the fruit stands?" she smiled at him.

Sebastian's only thought was, 'Who is this woman and where is the real Marchioness.' but he put on an awkward smile and replied. "If that is okay..." he couldn't decline. Something told him if he declined he wouldn't like her reaction later.

"Alright." she patted him on the head. Making Ciel now look at her with great confusion. Sebastian just looked at his master with wide eyes.

"Let's go for now aunty. The sooner we go the earlier we can get back."

"Of course." she headed towards the door after she'd grabbed Ciel by his wrist to drag him out of the room. "Make sure to eat a nice healthy breakfast Sebastian." she said cheerily before closing and locking the door. Sebastian sweated as he stared at the door.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Sebastian didn't know when he'd fallen a sleep but when he awoke, he looked at the clock and saw it was nearly 11 am. He yawned and stretched for a moment. He jumped when he saw the elderly woman sitting in a chair beside him.

"Hello dearie. Did you get a good nap?" she asked pleasantly.

"Uhh...yes.." he said awkwardly. "How did you get in here?"

"Oh dearie the inn keeper allowed me in. The doctor was going to do a check of you but when we saw you were sleeping he decided to come back later. I offered to sit and wait until you awoke to get him."

"Thank you for your kindess." he sat up.

"Did you ever finish that embroidery?" she asked.

"Oh! Yes." he dug into his pillow case and showed her. "It's a very lovely pattern. Thank you for allowing me to use it."

She fingered the cloth as she took it from him. "Do you know what a black rose signifies in this town?" she asked as she walked to the windows. The curtains were closed.

"I didn't know it was a symbol of this town." he replied.

"It's not so much of a symbol as it is a mark." she smirked without his knowing.

"A mark?"

"Yes. It's a mark given to those who are chosen to join in on the Orgion."

'There's that word again.' he scrunched his brow. "Orgion?" he asked. He still did not know what it meant.

"Yes...you see in this town. The ugly are made to live in this small town to assist those who are natually beautiful." she rubbed her thumb over the black rose on the cloth. "And the beautiful are permitted to live as royalty in the manor, even if they are commoners to perform acts of sexual conducts to please the gods." she looked at him with a smile that clearly told him she had ill intent.

Someone grabbed him from behind. A hand clamped over his mouth as he was pulled up by his arms towards the opening in the wall.

"You'll make such a lovely addition to the harem for our gods the Dionesses." she smiled as Sebastian struggled. "Your embroidery is so lovely too. Not many have such talent." She walked towards the door as Sebastian was fully pulled through the wall and it's opening closed.

And another chapter is out. Sorry I hadn't posted this in so long. I've been working on my merchandise for Anime Boston just in case I manage to get a table. Which atm is mostly scarves. xD Though there's no guarantee i'll get a table. I'll atleast have some merchandise done if I do get one. Won't have to worry about it being last minute. I also got my supervisor to swap with me on the day where we have to fill out the forms for the tables. xD He was very happy because he loves football, and pretty much was like "FUCK YEAH I CAN WATCH FOOTBALL AND NOT HAVE TO GO TO BED EARLY FOR THE 7 AM SHIFT! I CAN BARBEQUEEE!" xD LOL. So that works out for me and him.

I've only posted a few new photos on my DA. Two with skulls and one of my nails xD. I also get to somewhat dress up on Halloween though i'll be at work. I'm not allowed to do much. So i'ma just don my Yusei wig and say i'm Security Guard Yusei! xD Not very original, but i'm not allowed to wear alternate clothes unfortunately. Otherwise i'd of done Sebastian (Which i'm doing on the 30th xD). Bwahahahahahaha!

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I still have enough of this fic where I can do some updates without having to type it up. Which is what i'm greatly utilizing until i'm done with my merchadise (well..the knitting/crochet ones anyway). Also had been in a contest with psyconorikan over the classic episodes of Doctor Who...I won. xD *thumbs up* Almost done with the 7th doctor, then it's just the 8th and I can go on to the new series with the the 9th doctor and beyond. (Yes...i'm watching in order. It's also another reason why I haven't been typing fanfics at work. xD First one to finish was the winner. LOL).

Reviews and comments appreciated. If you wanna see a picture of my nails go on my DA or my tumblr. =3 Later!
