I woke up bright and early the next morning, a little too early for my tastes, but oh well. I walked over to my curtain and pulled it open for the sunlight to come streaming in. I had been feeling better ever since I let Ciel get a piece of my mind, but now that just complicated things with me and Sebastian because I'm pretty sure he is seeing me behind his masters back. So much for that 'not getting betrayed by your servants'. I went over to my closet to start setting things out when Margret walked in.
"Oh your back, I thought you'd still be visiting with your fiancé?"
"Yes well, he gets out today."
"Oh perfect I need him here so we can do the final fitting, its today remember? Anyway Ms. Hopkins is coming over so don't be surprised if Christina is in a foul mood."
She giggled at that and came to help me with my clothes. Once that was done I went to the dining room to quickly eat breakfast, since Nina Hopkins was coming over a bit early today. Christina was quiet at the table, I felt the irritation coming off of her in waves. I think I'll try to defuse this situation before it gets out of hand.
"So sister did you sleep well?"
"Yes." Oooh short reply. Not good.
"I woke quite early this morning, and you'd be surprised it was actually quite pleasant." I smiled at her, only to receive a glare.
"What are you playing at." She questioned.
I feigned shock, slapping a hand to my chest, "Me! I would never do something like have hidden motives!" Still not even a smile, maybe I should play it up a notch, "I would never try to calm you down by asking random questions!" Uop there goes a smile, "After all! I am the picture of elegance and beauty! People do look up to me you know!"
And she burst out laughing, yes victory.
"People would only look up to you if they were complete idiots!" She laughed.
I did little fake tears, "What~ so mean how could you say that to your sister~!"
At this she just rolled her eyes and continued laughing, yeah she's got a weird sense of humor.
"Mistresses Ms. Hopkins is here." Speak of the devil! Right when I got her happy too!
We both got up and went out to greet her only to find her fascinating herself with our brown haired maid, Elise.
"Ms. Hopkins pleasure upon seeing you again." I interrupted... whatever she was doing.
She turned to us, "Oh yes I'm glad to be here now where is that maid of yours that is getting married and her fiancé?"
"Her fiancé is not yet here, please won't you come wait in the room Gregory will now take you to." It was more of a statement not a question.
"Oh by why doesn't this little thing take me there?"
"She has chores." I replied shortly, "Now please follow our butler to the room."
She grouched something else after that, but it was much to quiet for anyone else to hear, she went over and glared up at our butler as she followed him out. I usually dealt with her when she came since my sister always got so pissed off. I went over to Margret.
"When is your fiancé getting here?"
She looked up, "Oh he should be here shortly, I think he's taking a carriage here."
"Okay just inform us when he does arrive, well inform Christina I'm going to go disappear for a little while."
She just nodded and went back to her work. I decided to go get into something a bit more comfortable, aka taking the corset off. I went up stairs to put on a simple black dress that was pretty much the same as the white one and went down to my knees again. After getting all those other layers off, I knew my sister would probably ambush me downstairs if I tried to go that way so I'll just go through the window. I jumped down and ran around to the backyard, since my window over looks the front of the house and the road up to our house. I then saw the cat that had been staying at our home for quiet sometime, after the night I had brought it in because of the rain Christina found it and apparently threw it outside! I only found this out later, but it still pissed me off! I know she's a dog lover, but that doesn't mean she has to be a cat hater, especially when her best friend is a cat!
I picked him up and started petting him, only to find a nice patch of grass that you couldn't see from the house, and sat down. He was loving being pet, he kept rubbing his head against mine and I even got a few love bites on my jaw line. I layed down with him breading on my stomach, I kept petting him till some movement in the forest made me bolt up and chase after whatever had run away.
I had to put the cat down nicely but then abandoned him for whatever was snooping around our house, but as soon as I went after it, it went deeper into the woods! And at an alarming rate, I pumped my legs fast feeling the change come over me, since I had to protect whatever this was from Christina. I saw the perfect time to tackle it, I jumped up on this tree and leapt off onto the beast in front of me, I flipped it over to where its face was facing me and hissed with my teeth showing and everything.
"Good evening love." He replied coolly from his defensive laying position.
I groaned getting off of him from my pinning position.
"What are you doing here?!" I demanded from Sebastian.
