Chapter 10:
I got dressed in the maid attire and walked to the kitchen to get me a snack. Luckily no one was where I was headed so I didn't need to talk to anyone.
I had my small snack, which was just an apple and decided to look for the young master since I was bored and I wanted to ask him some questions just to annoy him. While walking there I remembered he didn't show me much of the mansion and so I got lost. Though the only thing I did recognize was the servants quarters. I decided to knock on each door seeing as I didn't know the exact room of the other servants. To no surprise there weren't any answers coming from any of the doors that I knocked on. Every single one of them was empty. I headed straight to my room knowing that there wasn't much else to do since I would just get lost... like the last time.
A few minutes I fell to a dreamless sleep. When I woke up I heard the door creak open. I opened my eyes just a little to see that it was Sebastian coming into my room, once again, without knocking and coming over to where I was sleeping. I knew that he knew that I was already awake so I found it absolutely useless to pretend to be asleep.
"Miss Celesta, why is it that I always seem to find you asleep?"
"I don't know. It's probably because you always try to find a way to harass me. Even though we have literally not know each for more than a few days." I retorted.
"Never mind that. I came to tell you the young master wanted to see you."
"Well I guess that's okay. I was gonna see him until I gave up and fell asleep. Okay Mr. Butler, show me where the young master is and I shall get off your back." Before I left the room I added, "Oh, and after you show me where his office is can you give me a tour of the mansion? I don't want to get lost."
I waited outside of the door to follow him to the young masters office. It felt like a journey to get to his office. In my head I was thinking 'No one should have this big of a mansion! Especially if you're gonna live by yourself!' We reached the young masters door and Sebastian knocked on the door. We heard a bored "Come in" and we entered.
"Did you want to see me young master" I asked, trying to be polite.
"Yes. I wanted to know if you knew how to do the chores of a maid."
"I was in a circus for most of my life and you're asking me if I know how to clean? Wow can you really be that dense?" There was a tick mark on the young nobles head which meant I was starting to irritate him. Which is a new record, irritating the hell out of someone in just 2 minutes.
"Don't play smart with me! I can always kick you out of my mansion." he threatened me.
"Then it would make no difference. I could always go back to America and find a job there and live my life peacefully. Though it would mean a boring life I am actually willing to do that if you actually kick me out."
"Well if you already know how to clean then this conversation is over. Your training on how to fight will begin tomorrow." With that he dismissed his butler and I. 'Why would he assume that I couldn't fight?' I thought to myself. 'Didn't he see me fight his butler the other time or did he just forget?'
I just shook it off and went to the nearest window and opened it. It was dusk which meant it was almost night time.
"Miss Celesta what are you doing?" Oh yeah, and Sebastian was right behind too wasn't he?
"I'm going out for a little before I head to bed. I'll only be gone for a few hours."
Before he could say anything I let out my wings and jumped out the window. I think we were on the second floor but I didn't feel it. When I landed I stretched out my wings and saw that a little bit more of it was being tainted. It wasn't the shiny white and the little grey areas it was before. From my back to half of the wings were grayish-black. The blackest part protruding from my back getting lighter and lighter til it blended with the white. It looked a little pretty but it also worried me. Why was it changing color? And why was it changing color so fast? I decided to just let it go flying in the air to get rid of my stress and worry. And it was sure as hell a lot better than being with someone who had an ego that was as disgusting as a donkey's ass.
But never mind that, flying was peaceful. No butler, no brat, no loud dimwits, just the sky and the wind in my face. It was too beautiful. Soon it was completely dark which meant I must have been out for about an hour or two and so I wanted to spend my last hour on a tall building just relaxing. And the only tall building that I could think of was the queen's castle. I wasn't stupid just bold. That and the guards were really REALLY stupid when it came to the possibility that something could come down from the air. I said at the highest and comfortable place possible just relaxing. The stars had come out and it made me a little drowsy. So I drifted off to sleep not knowing the consequences that would await me tomorrow.
Ok everyone that is it for this chapter! Again I am really sorry for not updating for like a whole month now but school started and it's irritating the hell out of. I have this project due Thursday even though it is literally the beginning of the school year. But other than that I will try to make another chapter soon. BYE ^_^
