Chapter 8
Soon we arrived at a pair of oak doors. Sebastian knocked twice and a quiet "Enter" was heard. Sebastian opened the doors allowing me in before him. Once we were inside he shut
the doors. It was a library stocked full of books and documents. Comfy looking chairs were placed by a small table and there was a rather large table where the Crown was sitting
behind reading a rather thick book. He looked up when we entered the room. I walked toward the table and jumped on it. "Get off the table cat" the crown said with annoyance in his
voice. "That is not a proper way to address a lady boy." I narrowed my eyes at him. He sighed. "Sebastian, have you gotten the necessary information out of her yet?" "Yes master,
she was quite cooperating." The boy stared at me. "Tell me all that you know" I glared back at Sebastian. "Is that an order master?" "Indeed it is" Sebastian smirked down at me
as he came closer to the table. "Why do you want to know?"
I asked and the crown simply ignored my question waiting for Sebastian to speak. "She is a half demon my lord, she has both demon and human blood coursing through her veins.
Quite a rare one at that." "A half demon? I didn't know such a thing as humans and demons breeding together was possible." "Though it is frowned upon it still happens
occasionally.." I muttered. "Would she be of any use to me Sebastian?" Sebastian's aura turned dark once more. I didn't like where this was going, not one bit. "Well with the
proper training she would offer many skills I'm sure." "Training!? I am not a dog!" I hissed at him. "Although there is still the matter of the people who are after her." "Yes those
men who were fallowing the cases.." The crown glanced at me then back to Sebastian. "So long as the killings stop there is no reason to turn her into the queen." "Master are you
suggesting lying to your queen?" Fake shock was present on Sebastian's face. "No, she simply wanted the killings to stop, as for the people after you." He looked at me. "If the
killings stop the wont find you." "What's all this have to do with you?" The crown smirked. "It will be fun having another Knight in my game of chess." "I am not a toy" "Sebastian,
see to it she has the things needed to begin work as a maid tomorrow." "Yes Master." "Wait! Who the hell said I was going to stay here!?" I yelled my body morphing on it own
accord. It tends to do that when I really angry. The Crown had a shocked look on his face. I mean he had every right to be. Its not everyday you get to see a cat morph into a
humanoid appearance. What he saw was a girl with cat ears and tail.
He took some time to look at my new form before continuing. "Do you have anywhere else to go?" I paused. He was right, I never was able to stay in one place for very long. I
could just eat animal souls…though I would have to eat more often then normal. It would be nice to be able to stay in London, it was so lovely after all. "Well are you staying
Anastasia?" I looked at my feet. "I guess I have no choice." The Crown sneezed. "Master are you alright?" Sebastian's eyes scanned the boy. "Yes, make sure she has a bath with
fragrance oil." "I beg your pardon but I do not smell." I said offended. I got a glare from the boy. "You see master is allergic to cats, he merely wants to protect himself." "That is
all." Thee crown said waving us away. I made my ears and tail go away. I received a small frown from the butler. Sebastian told me to follow him so I now found myself walking
down a long hallway. He knocked on three doors and rustles were heard inside.
Soon four people made there way out of the rooms. Mei-Rin, Bard, Finny and Mr. Tanaka." Sebastian pointed to each one as he said their names. He then pointed to me and said
"This is Anastasia, she will be working as a maid here from now on. Make her feel at home." The three nodded as the man called Tanaka simply sipped from a tea cup. "Now lets
get to work" "Yes sir" the three said making their way down the hall to do whatever it was they did. "Now then Anastasia, I do believe a bath is in order." I sighed, there was no way I
was going to get out of this. Sebastian led me to where the servants bathroom. I must admit it was very nice. The room had a rather large tub, a full body mirror, and fluffy towels
folded and stored on a shelf. Also on the shelves were candles, some bottles of what appeared to be bubble bath, and a small box. Sebastian turned on the water. I watched as
steam rose out of the tub. He walked to the shelves pulling a towel and a bottle down. He then grabbed the box and set everything on the small table by the tub. He poured the
contents of the bottle in the water causing bubbles to start forming. Next he handed the box to me. "Pick a bottle out." He put the bottle of bubble bath on the shelf left the room. I
opened the box and it had different scents in it. I glanced over the labels on the bottles. Lavender, Lemon Grass, Roses, Sakura petals, and Apples. I selected both roses and
Sakura petals because I couldn't decide between the two. Sebastian came in with a maid outfit that was a light blue in color with a small light blue ribbon with a bell on it. I looked at
him and sighed. "Is there something wrong?"
There was that fake smile again. "Must I wear that bell?" He walked closer to me. "I thought it would go along with you perfectly." I frowned. He flipped his pocket watch open and
looked at the time. "I must go make some preparations for brunch now, I'll come back when I am done to see how your coming along." "Do you have to come back? You couldn't
just disappear could you?" he started walking towards the door. "Please do bath properly." With that he was gone. That damn demon! He's so irritating. I locked the door and
headed over to the tub. It was almost full so I shut the water off. I took off my clothes folding them into a neat pile and sat them by the tub. I let my ears and tail out and looked
at myself in the body mirror. Slightly pale skin, white as snow hair that fell to her shoulders with blue eyes. A beautiful body with almost perfect curves. I never thought myself
beautiful, there were others who's beauty surpassed mine. I got into the water and hissed slightly. It was quite hot. I slowly let myself sink into the bubbly abyss till I sat fully in the
tub. The bubbles tickling my nose as I scooped some into my hands and blew on them. This in turn caused them to fly into the air then fall softly back into the other bubbles on the
surface of the water. I poured the oils into the bath water and sighed deeply at how relaxing the smell was. Sakura and Rose combined really well if you ask me. After I washed
myself I got out and dried myself off.
Quickly I slipped on my undergarments and then my new uniform. I cringed, never in all my years have I been in this situation. A half breed normally avoids demons at all cost and
now I live under the same roof as one and work for a human boy. I thought for a moment. Sebastian is a pure blooded demon so he technically does have the power to order me
around. I hope he doesn't know that though he probably does. As I have cat demon blood flowing through my veins I do not like being told what to do although I wouldn't have
much of a choice. I sighed quietly and looked at myself in the mirror grabbing a brush from one of the shelves. I slowly brushed my hair enjoying the feeling. I sat the brush down
and touched my ears I then proceeded to dry them then I turned my attention to my tail. It was still wet to, I knew that when I dried it it would be fluffy. I assaulted my tail with the
towel and when I was done I curled it around me. "I look lovely…" I muttered. "Your right you do." I turned to the door to see Sebastian twirling a set of keys on his finger with a
smirk on his face.
