Hola! Chapter 10 is finally up and I hope u enjoy, still...I can't believe no one submitted an adjective...I however ended up choosing the verb Egregious...it means something that has to do with being outstandingly bad or in other words outrageous, but it kinda reflects the climax of this chapter since that what Alyce is practically like. I hope you enjoy and please guys leave a review.
Chapter 10
She is...Egregious
The doors of the Labyrinths' household opened wide and Izabell Carolines entered. Sebastian took her luggage after giving his words of welcome to the manor as he usually did and carried it while she trailed behind him as they ascended the stairs.
"So why did she call me here all of a sudden Sebastian?" She asked a little worried staring at the back of the raven haired butler.
Sebastian who was a couple of steps in front of her paused as he gave it a thought. Alyce had told him yesterday the reason Izabell immediately needed to be by her side and in her sight for the time being, but more over he knew that telling her might risk the chances of the truth being revealed.
"It turns out that since tomorrow is the special day, she wanted to have you over night, plus, you'll be the first to wish her happy birthday" he said looking around at her with his playful closed eye smile lightening the mood.
Her eyes widened with glee and she clasped her hands together, "Of course and I did buy her present already, why didn't I think of that, for a second there I thought it was an urgent matter." She said while giggling to herself
Sebastian turned back around. Good enough he had come up with an idea to postpone here suspicions for now, but nonetheless, he hoped Alyce would sort things out while she got a chance to speak with her today. For now he had to prepare for the party tomorrow and the arrangements to leave the town, better yet the county, as he remembered his conversation with Alyce.
"So what do you plan on doing my lady"
"Isn't it clear Sebastian" She said resting her chin in her hand as she signed the names on the invitation list. "I plan to leave the country…where should we go?" She turned to him as he poured the second cup of champagne to his worried master who was drinking her worries away, sulking in the night from her previous encounter with the detective.
"Anywhere is fine with me as long as you are content, my lady"
"Blah…I knew you were gonna say that" she whined. She whipped around with three strips of papers and held them up to Sebastian, "choose one" She said gleefully. He held back at first and then gave a sigh and choose the one in the middle. "What does it say?!" she said impatiently
"America my lady" he said to her
"Then America it is" She said with a bright smile turning around while humming to herself.
"And may I ask what of your company, the estate and Lady Izabell…"
She turned back around to him with a smile, "I have 278 estates posted in Northern America. The company's second running headquarters is also there acting as head estate for the labyrinth's head of the house as an emergency headquarter. As for this estate we will sell it to my highest bidder and use that money to build a smaller company to run second head in the new headquarters which will be in America"
He smiled at her idea
"Very well thought my lady. No one will suspect you to have a second running company under your second rate headquarters for emergency, but…what of Izabell?"
"Izabell, well of course…"
He turned the knob of his master's bedroom and opened the double doors. There she was, his master, standing in the center of the room. The light from the window shining into the room as she stood there. Her ponytails lightly fluttering in the air as she stood back turned to them in front of the mirror half-dressed. She was zipping the back of her dress. The pale soft skin was easily seen, today she wore no corset or any bra for all that matters. It was perfect his beautiful master, his lustful pleasure, his need, his-
She shot a glance over her shoulder, "there you are jackass, how long are you gonna make me stand here zipping this damn frock!"
He sighed…it was perfect….until she opened her mouth. If only…she spoke less and lost that attitude and was a bit more obedient when it came to her behavior. But then again those faulty flaws and those loose knots in her behaviour were the simple things that made her cuter and quite more appetizing. The soft delicate yet tainted and dark type of soul.
He walked up to her with a sigh and zipped up the rest of the dress. She turned to him and smiled. "How does it look?" It was a dark red dress with a v design in the center that started from her waist and came up to her cleavage. The cloth for the V was a rather black mesh material that showed her entire cleavage. It was dirty but at the same time said 'lady in red. Apart from the different material for the V the rest of the dress was in a red material. The corset was close-fitting but the waist down was loose, not banquet or ball type, but a comfortable frill that suited the occasion nicely. They were only going into the town.
He smiled and leaned over to her whispering in her ears "I hope you plan on letting me accompany you, for that is too revealing"
"I see, let me correct you, you wish you could accompany me, but I'm sorry, I don't need you to"
He frowned and leaned back recovering his straight posture. He wore a slight pout as he watched her gaze move from him to Izabell
"Come on Izzy, let's go on a little shopping spree,after all we're best friends forever, so let's do a girls out... that doesn't include Trans genders or cross dressers"
She walked pass him and held Izzy's hand who stammered over her words as she dashed glances at Sebastian while being pulled out of the room by Alyce.
"Su-sure...bye Sebastian" She waved and he bowed. He opened the glass door leading to the balcony and watched as the two stepped into the carriage and rode off to head into town.
He turned around pulling his sleeves up to his elbows and tugged on the hem of the gloves, stretching his fingers getting ready to work on the preparations and arrangement to leave, and the invitations to be delivered also the pre-preparations for food and decoration.
…..
"So what color do you plan to have your dress in Alyce Chan?"
"Hmm…let's see"
She scanned around the store wondering what her dress should be.
I will not need Sebastian, that's why I personally left him. I need to be independent. I need to be a woman. Tomorrow I'll be eighteen so I need to learn how to stand on my own.
30 seconds later
"He he he he….So Sebastian," Alyce said twiddling the phone cord between her fingers, "Which color looks on me best again"
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh in the end I had to call him!
"It would be Purple my lady" Sebastian said over the phone line. He pulled the two side bangs back and held it down with a clip. He wore a white apron over his uniform as he leaned on the wall in the kitchen speaking to his master while he made the cake, such a troublesome child, she can't even manage without me.
Alyce turned to the shop owner and Izabell in crocodile tears, "He said purple" she cried drawing out the words, her best friend came over to her patting her on the back, " Ma Ma don't worry, I'm sure you'll be soon independent to do things on your own" she grabbed Alyce in for a hug"
"Really" Alyce said looking up with puppy dog eyes
"Yes, yes, your all grown up and mature too, you have a really nice shape and a ripe chest!" she said giving her a thumbs up
"Your right! what more can i expect from my best friend" Alyce said in Chibi form to the Chibi Izabell who released her from the hug
" Best friends forever. High Five!" they said in unison jumping to slap each other hands. Unfortunately before Alyce good reach her she was repelled by the enormous boobs and landed face flat on the ground in nanoseconds
"Anou…Alyce chan" Izabell said to the kneeling Alyce crying with a depressed looming aura in the corner of the store.
They eventually left the shop with all the things they needed and stopped at a restaurant for tea.
It was time for Alyce to get serious and tell Izabell what needed to be done.
She took a sip from the tea, yep tea. She would die if Sebastian saw her drinking tea now, the only person who could have her drink it was no other than Izabell herself. She looked at Izabell as she sat before her. She was so young and really beautiful. To believe that she was already engaged was unimaginable, but what less can you expect from the Caroline household. Other from being one of the best noble family known for their caring attitude kindness and their great sense of humor and nice tender loving even for the strangers. A famous yet sad secret was behind the household like every other family. The labrynith's was that Alyce stood in the center of the family as the curse, the Caroline's however, was the knowing fact that they were famous for dying at young ages. Alyce despised it. As an outsider and also the higher up in the hierarchy she knew the truth about the elders of the Carolines. As soon as the maiden started her period, she was the runner up to be wed in order to grow the number of people in the family. The secret was however a disadvantage, but they wanted their blood to keep on running so they expanded and expanded. It was disgusting but Alyce at least did admit that through it all, there was pride. They only choose the best men for their daughters, nieces and cousins. They wanted them to have a child from both the wealthy and the worthy. She understood. She however shared the opposite secret, which Izabell was paired up with, was a fraud…and someone, that was in the same category as Sebastian, for out of the many things she concluded her theories with, one resolution remained….that the detective….was not human.
And so here she was with her best friend, almost seventeen, a suspect of a 10-year-old crime scene and also a friend to a serial killer. Alyce sighed as she finished the cup of tea. Exactly what have I gotten you in Izabell?
"You're tense" Izabell said drawing Alyce out of her thoughts
"I'm thinking"
"About what?"
"Something I need to speak to you about"
Izabell smiled, "If it's about my fiancé'… I already know" Alyce eyes widen
"I was aumm, what should I say…I don't really…like him to begin with" Alyce relaxed a bit, This was Izabell, this was the Izabell she truly knew, when the happiness was subtracted and her jovial and bouncy behavior was put aside, all that remained was her true nature. Izabell was down to earth; she was an observer and more than likely, quite intelligent. She despised the way of her own family secret. She believed in true love after all and she was quite easy to adapt to things but the way of the Carolines was just something she obviously despised. She didn't want to confront her family about it, especially her mother who had groomed and woven her into the special and admirable young lady she was, but the true nature of Izabell was the type of thing that made her become friends with Alyce. Actually Alyce was surprisingly the one who forced the friendship upon her. Alyce was the one who carried the friendship and the one who believed in it.
So knowing how Izabell really was and also the fact of how her characteristics fell into place nicely, this would make the situation…a lot easier.
"I see…well since I am clear on that, that's why I want you…to come to America with me."
The silence carried on for a while. The wide eyes Izabell staring at Alyce who exchanged her with that dead ass stare of hers.
"Why?"
"I'm, leaving the city"
"Why?"
"Actually, there's something I need to talk to you about…"
She gulped in ready to tell her best friend, the hidden secrets that she has shared with herself for some time now.
"Izabell, I am in a situation where I need to leave this town and practically this country, it's not a trip…it more like…a runaway. I can't leave you, no; I mean I won't leave you. You know I love you and I know that you aren't comfortable where you are now which makes the situation even easier, I just want you to come and stay with me, and we can start over in America.
"And what about my family, my mother my father, my younger brother…what about them?"
"W-well you can leave them, it's not like you liked them or anything"
"Alyce…."
"Plus, you don't love you fiancé', you said you believed in true loved right…so in America you can meet your real lover, the one you actually need.
"Alyce…"
"I mean come on Izabell…I need you by my side, I'm the only person you need. Izzy"
Izabell's hand slapped across her face as she leaned over the table. Alyce turned back around to look at the blonde.
"Listen to what you are saying Alyce chan" She said in a light tone but she sounded serious, "I must come with you…and I don't even know why your leaving? Apart from personal likes and dislikes about you, there's nothing else I know about you. What you like to do as a hobby and what you do in your free time, when it comes to those things I go blank on all those questions. I never know what you're thinking and you're very hard to read!"
Alyce was going to say something but she bit down on her lip. She was intending to let out something she might regret saying in front of her.
"But even, with those things, I still end up being drawn to you!" she stood there looking at her and then rolled her eyes. she flopped back into the chair with a 'sheesh'
Alyce was just looking at her with a blank expression,
"We need to talk about this another time"
"We don't have enough time…."
"What"
"I'm leaving day after tomorrow"
She sighed. Izabell looked out the window and then back at her best friend.
"You never told me…" she said changing the topic, "….how I looked without my ponytails"
"Eh…..ah-ummmm I actually liked the ponytails from when u were younger, but I do like your hair now."
"In that case…she leaned over and pulled the two clips out her hair and into hers placing the rich golden blond locks into two perfect ponytails, "How does it look?"
"Wow…it looks nice, it really fits you Izzy"
"So does your new style"
Izabell stared at Alyce's dark blue hair. A few strands over her shoulders as the rest of her hair nicely lying on her back
"To tell you the honest truth…I hated that promise. I really like pigtails but I rather myself wearing them more than you"
"Oh…I see"
"Well…we're not gonna drink tea the entire time, let go pick up Sebastian's gift"
"Oh yea, my little servant will love it"
They had picked up the gift and went back in a carriage. After a long conversation on their past memories the carriage stopped on that long road to the Labyrinth's manor.
"What happened?"
"I don't know?"
Alyce pulled the curtains to see the rain pouring down.
The carriage man told them he would stop here for a while to get the horses out the rain. He tied them to a tree as the rain poured down and Alyce and Izzy continued their conversation.
"I mean…remember when Miranda was supposed to give us milkshake"
"Yea, that lousy maid gave me a cup of ice and two strawberries and told me to have fun experimenting"
The busted out in laughter
"I wonder what happened to her. It was all over the paper yesterday that she suddenly got dumb when she was a suspect for a crime scene."
"Really" Alyce asked obliviously trying to hide the fact that she had something to do with it
"You know that reminds me to ask you something"
Alyce turned to Izabell. She was no longer laughing neither did she seem concerned instead she had that straight face that gave a thrill through Alyce skin.
"I was looking at my Fiancé's documents while he was bathing. As you know he's a detective and it turns out he's reopening the Musical Silencer case. I read the entire documentary so you can practically say I know much about the case now. What bothers me is that when he narrowed down the suspects due to different clues that had been showed that were not revealed ten years ago…he ended up with three suspects being the musical Silencer."
Alyce gave her a weary smile, "So, it's good to know that you're concerned with his work, but it's all in the pass let's just get over it"
"No, no, He's in the past…but the case isn't" Alyce looked at Izabell, she was half soaked, the ends of her pigtails damp and curly as one of them laid below her bosom. The tree didn't provide much cover and the rain was coming down harder. The ground was getting muddy and the man had decided to see if he could run to the mansion to have another carriage come for them.
"The first suspect, Sebastian Michealis…denied…He came when the killing ended. Although he was as a suspect since he has no citizenship record in this town, they knew nothing of him so he was marked as suspicious, but due to the proof of the time when crimes were committed, he was denied as the Musical Silencer"
No, no let it be anyone except you Izabell please...stop...stop talking Izzy
"The second Suspect, Izabell Carolines, of course i would know if I was the musical Silencer, but I'm not, hence forth I was denied. I was a suspect because I knew the lyrics to the musical Silencer's death note for all the people he had killed. The death note was hidden from everyone but over the past few years after the crime it was revealed little by little as people began spreading rumors, but unfortunately, on my side of the story, I learned that song…from you"
"Izabell stop, please, stop" Alyce stepped back a few steps and fell down into the mud.
"Third suspect….Alyce Labyrinth. Labeled as the towns curse. There are three reasons why you are suspected. One…your father himself, personally signed off the case due to reason that was also hidden labeled as 'personally issues', two, you resented this town so much that were you were cast a side on the outskirts and hence forth you grew a despicable behaviour to hate and torture anyone who crosses your path, and three….you are the source of that song, I learned it from you, the Musical Silencer knows it and the only person to escape him was Miranda who barely lives half a life. Of course because you're the curse that doesn't make you a suspect, but the fact that your father is involved built the suspicion that he might be covering for you!"
Izabell knelt on the ground and pinned down her hands.
"Tell me Alyce! Did you kill all those people? Did you murder those 137 people, did you? Did you!"
"Iz-"
"Don't lie to me, we're best friends, plus, all of a sudden you want to leave the town, all of a sudden you want to leave the country, you are the killer! Aren't you?!"
The tension was high the pain was souring and the guilt was quickly rushing in. every piece of the puzzle that she didn't want was falling into place. She didn't want to hear it especially from Izabell.
A grin dashed across Sebastian's face as he watched them from the tree above.
"Tell me!" Izabell screamed out her voice echoing along the long empty abandoned road.
"Are you the one? Are you! Are you! Are you!"
"Yes!"
The words came out, they finally did
A grin dashed across his face and he tilted his hand and turned around, Oh…she finally gave in, and here I thought she would put up much of a fight. Well now that it's confirmed I can leave, plus, how long is her butler going to stay and watch her give in to guiltiness.
"Get off!" Alyce pushed the shaking Izabell off her and stood to her feet, she turned to Izabell who was soaked from head to toe and siting in the mud as the rain beat down heavily on them. Izabell was shaking in disbelief, her best friend, her only best friend, Alyce, Alyce Labyrinth, was the Musical Silencer.
"Are you disgusted, are you surprised, do you wish to avenge the people I've killed! Well guess what? there's no guilt, there's no pressure! And there is definitely no regret! I could give shit about those rotten out retched bastards who have become one with the dirt under my feet"
Izabell jumped to her feet and slapped her across her face sending her to the ground, "IS THAT HOW YOU FEEL! AFTER YOU MURDERED AND SLAUGHTERED THOSE PEOPLE, IS THAT HOW YOU FEEL ALYCE!"
She sent another punch on the girl beneath her
"That's inhumane! The way you kill, cutting off pieces of their bodies, using there blood to write that song whether on the ground or on the walls, that slaughter, that murder that's demonic retched and disgusting-"She landed flat opposite of Alyce.
"What do you know about my pain!?"
Alyce had kicked her in the stomach and then punched her in the face sending her sprawling through the air and landing on the ground.
"I kill, I slaughter! And I don't even know why! Do you think that I'm satisfied, for some strange reason I enjoy it, for some strange reason it pleases me!"
Sebastian's eyes narrowed on his master below, this would be a chance to reveal what the urge was, for all he knew she might unconsciously admit it here and now without even knowing
She continued, "The screams, the blood, they were my pleasure, MINES...you wanted to know what I did in my free time: Kill, you want to know what my hobby is: killing It's simply that simple. They drew me to them, filled with jealousy. They were filled with hate, passion and fear, all kind of things! And the taste, yes, I could feel it in their blood, they were no more than pawns no more than tools"
"Stop talking!"
"I enjoyed killing them a lot, I enjoyed murdering them, taking their lives, feeling them within me, and I could feel everything they felt…."
"Alyce stop!"
"….I don't regret it, why should I? it was my survival! Mines!"
"STOP!" She chucked off her and the two went tumbling in the mud
"It's not like you to say those things! So please Alyce… I beg of you, please stop saying those things…please" The tears welled up in her eyes. She began punching her deeper into the mud as Alyce looked up at her in shock as Izabell shaked her to and fro slamming her body in the mud as she sat on top of her
Hmmmm, I guess I'll separate it now.
Sebastian jumped down and took hold of Izabell, "Please stop now my lady," she turned around and buried her face in his clothes, "Sebastian!" she cried out his name. Instead Sebastian watched his master who laid in the mud with that shocked expression on her face. She recovered quickly and sat up, "How troublesome" she said getting up and walking to the trunk of the tree to pick up the shopping bags that were dry
"My" she said exhausted, "…leave…take her out the rain and have her in a dry set of clothes. I can't afford having her catch a fever"
"Understood" so in the end she keeps her pride and recovered quickly….that's my master.
"Wait!" Izabell called out as Sebastian took her up and turned to head off before her, "Why are you doing this after I did that to you?"
Alyce who's back was turned to her turned around with a smile, "Because….we're best friends forever right?" Izabell's eyes widened.
Sebastian smiled and turned around and began walking off with the dumbstruck Izabell.
Alyce stood there in the pouring rain. Utterly alone, taking in everything that just happened. The only person she cared about, the very one and only other human she had made intimate contact with, found out she was something she greatly despised. The words she called her, the looks she gave her, they burned into her memory as she took up the bags.
He's taking too long
"My lady" Sebastian leaned over and took up the very last bag in his hand. She turned to him as he gave her one of his plain looks. It wasn't pity, it wasn't worry, neither was it concern. It was just his plain stare as he looked down on her while she looked up in his face.
The rain stopped and the sun pulled up from behind the clouds. Her gaze changed from him and towards the sky.
"What did you do?"
"I placed her in a sleep"
"I see…but why did you take so long"
"I was held back by washing your dress and hanging it to dry"
"Oh…"she replied nonchalantly.
( Note Sebastian is a demon henceforth things he do can't be done by human like having the ability to do things at insane speed and lifting unimaginable huge objects also the ability to sniff out any certain scent and also very intelligent and the ability to do impossible tasks for a human)
He picked her up in both hands and started walking down the long road this time at a normal pace since he knew she would rather it that way.
"You know…how long were you going to stay up there and watch?"
He smiled; once again she outsmarted me, how cunning of my master
"You never cease to amaze me in how you figure me out"
"You have a certain scent…and a certain aura, maybe it's because I've been around you too long, but I can easily pick up when you are around and when you've been in a certain area if go there" she said
He paused.
"Can you hurry and stop holding back"
"Yes…my lady"
She sat in front of the mirror to stare at her bruised purple jaw.
Sebastian gently sapped it with a warm towel.
"She should be awake any time now"
"I see…can you cover this for tomorrow….without makeup"
"With herbal treatment I can….she's here"
He walked over to the door and in walked Izabell in a long yellow nightwear. She had just waked from her sleep; it was just after 11 in the night. When Alyce had reached the mansion she had freshened up and dived in her bed. She never too long woke up and finished tending to her wound. Izabell pulled a chair in front of her and sat.
"I thought about it"
"….and…you want me to turn myself in?"
"No….Like I said, I thought about it"
Izabell sounded serious, a little worried but at the same time calmed and tranquil.
"You kill….because it's a part of you nature…I believe that this killing might originate…from a split personality"
She wanted to laugh, Alyce wanted to roll on the floor, but she mentally brushed it off and continued the straight face.
"I will go to America with you. That way we can also stop the killing"
"Your right, that's what Sebastian and I are trying to do now, find a way to stop my urges"
"I'm sure you'll find a way….but….I want to see something"
"What" Izabell leaned over and to Alyce surprise she raised the longer side of the bang revealing the eye with the glowing purple contract
"It was only a glimpse when we were fighting, but now I see that it's real"
She leaned back over and sat in the chair, "I need you to spill and about Sebastian…I know something is not right here, so lay the facts and make them straight"
About half an hour had passed as Alyce sat and explained that Sebastian was in fact a demon that she had bonded a contract with, also the fact that he was to consume her soul after she received all the pleasure she wanted and that she had fallen in love with him. She told Izzy that her ex fiancé' is actually a different person and that in her theory that he has some weird connection towards Sebastian.
"How do you know that?"
"He showed me his eyes, and I don't need any other proof than that…plus he has a peculiar scent, not like Sebastian's, but instead one that disgusts me more than anything ever."
The silence pulled on for about 15 minutes, what else I should tell her and what else should I say.
"I love you"
Izabell turned to her friend who spluttered those words. She lightly blushed and smiled as she looked at her flustered friend.
She leaned over and kissed her on her head
"My best friend is a killer. She also sold her soul and she's also in love with a demon. Of course she's a mess and she practically weird but then again I love her too" She returned her hug and kissed her once again, "Happy birthday" Alyce eyes dashed o the clock on the wall, 12:01 right on time.
The part was fantastic. Alyce wore her purple gown, beautifully embroidered with black lasers and black designs. She was more than beautiful, more than exquisite. The party was huge as she celebrated her birthday and it pulled on from midday and into the kiss of the night.
She looked in the gift packed guest room. She had told Sebastian to meet her here 5 minutes ago when he was downstairs. She looked in the glass at her gift from Izzy. It was a pair of purple moonlight pearled earing with a matching necklace that went perfect with her dress. Her hair was carried back nicely into a neat bun with a spiral curl at the front that ended right at her shoulder. She wore black gloves embroidered with purple lacers and on her bottom lip a dark violent lipstick with a light shade of purple black eye shadow.
"Admiring your everyday beauty"
She turned around to see Sebastian looking at her. He stood there in his black tux, purple vest and purple tie. That was her birthday present she wanted from him. She wanted him…to not be her butler. For just this one day, to be her mate, her love and her partner. She blushed as he smiled at her looking too handsome to be real.
"You summoned me" He said, refusing to bow since she had purposely ordered him not to carry out any sort of butler service. She had ordered maids to do the work today. She didn't want him lifting a finger.
"I wanted to give you a present"
His eyes widened.
"You see, I don't know when you were born and neither do I know what month of the year that is, but from now on I want to share my birthday with you."
He smiled. She then went into the closet and walked with her back turned to him, what was she hiding….his present?
"That's why for your birthday present, you get him! Tada!"
She turned around raising the fluffy white kitten in front of him with a red bow around his neck.
Sebastian's face was priceless, a light shade of pink on his cheeks as she could almost hear his heart slowing in pace as he exchanged stares with the small fluffy animal
"…"
"…"
"…"
Meow
He gasped and took it in his hands. It was perfect, this was the first time he had ever received a present.
"I figured you like them. "
Remember that Claude incident. The reason Alyce ended up in that situation was no other than because of course…Sebastian was paying attention to the animal section at the festival at the cats being adopted by random owners.
"I don't know what you plan to name him-"
"Allen"
"Allen?"
"His name starts with A just like yours"
She lightly blushed, "Y-yea"
"Well I'll go put him away for now…"
He said suspiciously walking away
"And by away do you mean somewhere safe…or my basement with the rest of your collection of one thousand three hundred and forty-nine unowned cats
"You wrong…Allen makes fifty, and one for an owned cat"
She sighed. She marched off to her room. The night was coming down and the people had finally left. She was relieved. No more holding back. She was at the edge of her limit, she wanted to kill, she needed to kill, and she had to kill. She quickly undressed herself and pulled the sheet over her head after putting on her nightgown.
It wouldn't hurt to kill right; I'm leaving this town anyways so it wouldn't hurt to kill a few people…right?"
Sebastian turned into the main hall as he made his way to his master's room
"Sebby-chan"
He turned around to see his master sleep drunken best friend, she was searching the wall for the door knob, and by that I meant…the wall.
He smiled and guided her to the open doorway and rested her on the bed. He was about to leave when she held on to his clothes. He turned to her
"Alyce told me…you seem uneasy"
"Excuse me lady Izabell?"
"You are in a contract with her aren't you?"
"Y-yes" he said recalling Alyce telling him that she had told Izabell everything
"Well…I know that in the end you will have her soul…but right now…you want her…don't you?"
His eyes widened.
"How do you know that?"
"I might be just a human, but I do have sense…the way you look at her, that burning passion, that intense feeling of wanting her"
"Yes," he said admiringly, "I want to consume her, I am out of patience"
Izabell laughed and patted him on the head several times
"Baka baka baka! You haven't even realized it yet. You've grown so accustomed to her, you became so lenient with her, you and her have been side by side so long….you believe that you're having the urge to consume her, don't be stupid, the truth is…you don't want to consume her because you want her, you want her….because you're in love with her, that urge isn't for her soul, it's the urge of love...the madness of wanting her, simple symptoms...of being madly in love"
His eyes widen, his heart skipped two beats, and the air around him froze as he kneeled there at the bed beside the half conscious Izabell.
"Are you sure?" He said turning to her but she was already asleep. He smiled and got on both feet and closed the door behind him, the word played through his mind like a song, over and over and over. Maybe the actual fact was…what she had said…was practically true
He was in love with Alyce
"He opened the door to his master's room and saw her standing on the balcony in her silk knee-length dress.
He pulled off the jacket and loosened the tie.
So the actual truth was he loved her, the actual truth was that he didn't want her soul but instead…her. Her body, her love, her smile...her heart.
He held her waist and turned her towards him.
"What wrong" she asked him. Her voice soft as she stared at him wrapping her hands around his body
"I realized something"
"What"
"That I might be in love with you"
She giggled in response and he smiled. She was beautiful tonight, but it was different that he had come to find her gazing from her balcony at the woods that lead to that long road and then into town, but beyond that was the moon that was behind the mountains. He pulled the few strands of dancing hair in the gentle night breeze behind her ears to fall in line with the loose blue hair.
"I love you too...but, I'll be retiring early for the night" she replied looking up at Sebastian.
He held her chin up to his face as he leaned over giving her a teasing smile, his lips breath space away from hers
"I'm afraid I can't allow you to do so...Alyce"
