Chapter 21: My New Home…?
The next morning, I couldn't wait for their answer, so I hopped to Ciel's office. "Ciel," I called out to him. "Did they say anything?" I now stood in front of him.
"Yes, they did." He stared up at me with his small hands intertwined together. "They said you can go and serve their household. Their butler is going to pick you up from here, so get your things packed." Ciel said, and spun his chair to not face me.
"Well, I don't have anything to pack really…" I said.
"Do you really want to work over there? It's 'intense', I would say. Their master can be a moody bipolar bitch at times. If you do something wrong, they will give you pain, but since you're a demon, it might be ten times worse. I bet a human would die from that discipline." Ciel gave me a concerning look.
"Aww. How sweet of you to care. You're going to miss me, huh?" I asked, giving him a hug, and I whispered something in his ear. "I've been through many painful events before, you don't need to worry." I squeezed firmly on his body and let go of him.
"Well, it was nice knowing you." Ciel shook my hand.
"I can say the same thing." I smiled and let go of his hand. "We'll meet again." I bowed and left his office.
I walked to the foyer to be stopped by Sebastian. Sebastian grabbed my hands and held it. "You really want to leave? Leave me?" His face leaning closer to mine. I felt his harsh breathing.
I turned my head away from him, trying not to look at him when I leave this place. "Let go. I made my own choice too. I wasn't joking about it, Sebastian. It's best for the both of us." I yanked my hands out from his grip and walked away from him.
I waited outside for the Trancy butler to be here. "Is this really for the best of both of us?" I was even doubting the split up.
"Miss," I looked up to see a butler wearing glasses. His yellow golden eyes looking down upon me. "The carriage is here. We must go." He had his hand out, and I took it.
"Claude." I heard Sebastian's voice interrupting us.
The man named Claude turned to look at Sebastian. "Sebastian, it's nice to see you again." Claude bowed at him.
"Same." Sebastian walked closer to us, and grabbed my opened hand. Sebastian pulled me closer to him.
"Sebastian, stop." I growled at him, trying to break his grip, but he didn't budge.
"I won't let you have her." Sebastian pulled me away from Claude.
"You were the one who let her die." Claude said in a harsh tone, glaring at him.
I felt Sebastian grip tightened. "Sebastian. Let. Me. Go." I was done with him. It was over between us. He needs to love the other mate.
"Sebastian, let go of her." We turned to see Ciel standing in the doorway, irritated by Sebastian's action. Ciel waited for Sebastian to let go of me. Sebastian stood there holding my hand. I felt him shaking a bit, struggling if he should let me go or not.
"Sebastian." I calmly broke free from his grip. "It's time for me to go." I quietly said to him, letting him go, turning my back away from him and proceeded to the Trancy butler.
He led me inside the carriage, and closed the door inside with me. I didn't look at the window, I had to look straight. I'm moving on from him and my with my life.
"Miss Cynthia, I assure you that you will love the Trancy household." Claude said to me.
"You're Claude, huh?" I asked, looking at him.
"Yes, if you heard Sebastian saying my name." He signed.
The whole trip was quiet, until I spoke up. "Claude, you are…." I didn't know if I should ask him if he was a demon too.
"Am I?" He waited for me to finish my sentence.
"You are a demon, correct?" I looked at him, staring at his golden yellow eyes.
"Yes, I am. The servants are also demons too." He said with no emotion.
Claude is an emotionless person….
"Oh… I see." I said, waiting to get to my new home.
Arriving at the Trancy manor, Claude opened the carriage's door and he helped me get out. He opened the door to the manor. "Miss Cynthia, this is our manor." He said, showing me the foyer of the manor.
"Just call me Cynthia since I'm going to work here with you." I told him with a smile, but it seems like he didn't like my smile for some reason, so I lowered my head a bit.
"Ah. You must be our new maid!" A blonde boy with ice blue eyes running towards me.
"You must be the one I'm serving under." I bowed to him. "I'm Cynthia." I introduced myself to him.
"Alois Trancy." He seems very cheerful. "Let Claude show you around the place. Claude, go show her around the place." Alois said.
"Let's go to our first place." I followed Claude everywhere. He introduced me to the servants here.
"This will be the room you'll be staying in." He showed me my room.
"Thank you." I said to him, as he closed my door.
The next morning, Hannah came into my room to give me my uniform. "Here's your uniform." She gave me my uniform.
"Thank you." I bowed.
"I will take my leave now, Cynthia." Hannah left.
I tried to put on my uniform, but I couldn't tie the corset at the back. "Ah…" I sighed in irritation. I felt like giving up.
"Do you need help?" I turned around to see Claude.
"Yes, can you do the corset for me?" I asked him, turning my back to face him and bent over to prop my arms out on my bed, so I can have support and also so I can feel the corset tighten more better than up straight. When he pulled the two strings, it made me grunt from the force he's pulling it. It was kind of hard to breathe for a bit. I fell face first on my bed because it was hard to breathe.
"Did I pull too tight?" He hovered over my body and whispered into my ear.
"What…. What are you doing…!" I was going to get up, but his body forced me not to move. He chuckled and got off of me. I forced myself to turn and face him. I glared at him.
He pushes up his glasses with his middle finger. "Come and assist me because you are now training under me." He said, pulling me up from my bed.
"Don't touch me, you little perv." I hissed at him, yanking my hand out from his.
I made a big distance from us. "Why are you standing afar from me?" He asked in curiosity.
"Because you're a pervert." I accused him.
"However you would like to call me." He said to me.
When we got to the dining room, I saw Alois stabbing his finger into Hannah's eye. I rushed over to pull Alois' finger out from Hannah's bleeding eye.
"What do you think you are doing?!" Alois yelled at me.
"Listen Alois, I can't let you do that to people who serves you. How cruel are you?!" Alois was about to grab me, but I grabbed his hand and twisted it. He cried in pain.
"Claude, our new maid is hurting me…!" He whined like a baby that wanted attention.
Claude forcefully grabbed me out the room. He dragged me somewhere down in the basement and threw me there. "Why don't you-" before I could finish my sentence, Claude pinned me down on the ground and covered my mouth.
"Shut up, Cynthia. Don't act like high mighty. Learn your place." He growled into my face. He removed his hand from my mouth.
"No. I will act upon myself and what is right!" I retorted at him.
"Not in the manor you won't. Since you work under me, I'll show you what is right." His face leaning towards my neck.
"Don't you dare!" I screamed at him.
I felt his hot breath on my neck as he bit me. I wanted to scream so bad, but he had his hand clamped down on my mouth again.
"Is this why Sebastian didn't want you to leave? Because of your delicious blood that you have even as a demon?" He chuckled, letting go of me while wiping my blood off from his mouth. "I'd like to see you in pain." He said.
"You sadistic!" I said loudly at him.
Then again, he pinned me against the brick wall and hit me again. "Seeing you in pain is such a turn on for me. Aren't you a masochist?" His husky voice said to me.
"I'm not…!" I struggled to say from the pain and pleasure I'm feeling.
"We'll see." He got off of me. I slid down, staring at Claude. He smirked at me.
I grabbed what was near me, and threw it at him, but he caught it. "You want me to bite you more until you're dead?" He turned and chuckled at me evilly.
"I hate you, Claude!" I screamed at him as he walked away from me. "All demon men are the same…. Only using women as a sex toy." I murmured quietly, getting up to head back upstairs.
