Lullay, Black Butler (Sebastian michaelis love story) Chapter 2 – Her Butler, Strange and Unusual
Notes: Wow! This is like a favorite to everyone so far! I haven't forgotten about Jin and Sesshomaru and slow writing process of Seto Kaiba. But anyhow, this is a very long chapter (6 ½ pages). Here we go!
I change back to my dress, which I have notice that it's washed and dried. It was a large puff sleeves, long draping skirt and it was a salmon-pink color and my black Victorian style boots and I braid my hair with a white ribbon. I make my way out and I notice the walls had a dark feeling to them. I continue to wonder down the halls to see if I can find Lily and Luna and tell them of the plans.
"Ahh!"
'What the!?' I keep running until I come across some stairs going down and I saw Lily on top of a man's shoulders who looks like he was 16 or 17 and Luna on bottom of the stairs,
"Get him, Lily! Get him!"
"Luna!" As I head to the bottom and she looks at me.
"Hi, Eli!"
"Don't 'Eli' me!"
"I got it!" screams Lily. The boy stops and holds his hand out,
"What is it?"
"Aww, Hee hee!" Silly, Finny. It's just a little mouse." My eyes widen, taking extreme care of my sister and her health. She places it on the boy's hand and another man, probably his late 20's helps Lily down. "Thank you, Mister!"
"Ha, ha! You're welcome, Lily. And I'm Baldroy."
"Mey-Rin! Lily got it!" A maid appears and her voice was kind of off…and very scratchy.
"Oh, good! Lily, you're a brave one!"
"Hee hee!"
"She's a better rodent catcher than all of you." Says Ciel. Ciel and Sebastian come in and Ciel stands next to me and Sebastian behind me. I feel my heart skip again. "Everyone, I'd like to make an announcement. As you have noticed, we have some new members living with us for a while. Of course, you all have met Lily and Luna. And standing next to me is their sister, Elianna."
"Please, Eli is fine." I can feel the tips of my hair being twirled and it was Sebastian.
"Mey-Rin?"
"Yes, Sebastian?" As her face gets really red.
"Ms. Everton will be a maid and working alongside with you. Today, show her around the mansion and her duties and tomorrow she will work with you."
"Ye- ye- ye- yes, Sir!"
'Wow. She's getting all hot under the collar for a butler?' I bend next to Lily and Luna, "Now, we are guests to the Phantomhives. And we are staying for a few months. I want you to be on your best behaviors. Show everyone how much of young ladies you are."
"Okay, sis! Come on, Luna! Let's go see the library!"
"*clears throat* Lily?"
"Uh, heh heh. Sorry, Eli. Come on, Luna. Let's go see the library; I know Mr. Ciel promised you."
"Very good, Lily." Says Ciel and he takes both of my sister's hands and walks them back upstairs.
"Okay, I'm ready, Mey-Rin."
"Wonderful! Let's start with the storage."
She takes me to many different rooms and tells me that different roles and responsibilities that I'll be doing. After an entire day of knowing the place,
"So, yeah; that's pretty much it. That's what you'll do every day unless Sebastian says otherwise. Is there any questions?"
"Are there any rooms we are not allowed in at all? This way I can let the two 8 year olds know."
"Master Ciel's bedroom when he's in; that's normally when he's asleep or ill. His study room unless called and Sebastian's room." Her face got really red after saying his name.
"Right…so…where will my sister's rooms be?"
"OH! The girls! Lily has her own room and Luna's right next to hers and yours will be on the other side of the mansion; the same room where you first woke up."
"What? How'd that happen?"
"Sebastian's orders."
"I see."
"Your sisters. They are very gifted girls."
"Thank you. I know they are like regular little girls; Luna's very different. She's more observant and she bottles her feelings. I hope with the changes around her, she'll open up not just to me, but the people around her."
"Hmm. Was she ever like this?"
"Ever since our parents left unexpectedly six months ago. And when I committed myself as a student. To be a 'Child Psychologist'. My mother didn't like it, but my father thought it would be wonderful. My father was a doctor; specializes the brain. Mother, seamstress. And I love kids. So, just observing Lily and Luna, I'd say they're normal, happy little girls. Father wanted to just hand me my dreams, but I want to work for it. I work for my dreams and money. I just want him to be by my side. He's the only man in my life."
"No courting?"
"No, Mey-Rin. I'm not. I only want to court when I'm ready. And a man that will love and care and protect my sisters more than me."
"You care for your sister's lives than your own?"
"Of course she does." We jump, turn and saw Sebastian in the doorway.
"Uh! Sebastian! You startled us!"
"My sincere apologies."
"I have word to pick with you, Butler!" he looks shock and surprise. "Why is it my room is not next to my sisters?"
"For protection of course. Plus, they get the best view of the sun setting."
"Heh. I'll be the judge of that." I notice he has a wicked, small smile on his face. I can't wait to wipe it off.
"Anyways, I left your maid uniform in your room, Eli. So you can work alongside with Mey-Rin."
"Thank you, Sebastian. I'll see you tomorrow, Mey-Rin."
"Okay. Good night." I leave them alone in the storage room, where all of the cleaning items are. I head back up to my sisters as I can hear laughter.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Eli!"
"Eli! Have you met Tanaka yet?" As I see an old man sitting with the girls on the floor with a drink in his hands,
"Heh! Heh! Heh!"
"Very nice to meet you too. I hate to say it, but it's almost time for bed."
"Aww!"
"Okay, Eli."
"Huh? Lily! Look at the sunset." They went towards the window and I went by them and it was a beautiful sunset. It looks like Leonardo Da Vinci himself painted a beautiful masterpiece. The hint of orange, yellow and pink made the sun alive and vibrant while a little bit of dark blue is ready to put it to sleep.
'Wow; he's good.' Tanaka gets up and leaves the room, giving us privacy. "How's your day so far, girls?"
"Really good. The backyard and garden is very beautiful."
"I've never seen so many books in my life! Much bigger than all of the books you have."
"Ha ha!" After tucking Lily in her huge bed and telling her good night and sweet dreams, Luna and I leave the room and head to hers. Then,
"Off to bed already, my dear Moon?" says Sebastian.
"Moon?" As Luna looks at me, confused.
"Luna is Latin for Moon. You were born when the moon was so bright, your violet eyes from Grandpa Bernard, and we couldn't help but call you 'Luna'."
"Oh." She smiles.
"And to answer your question, Sebastian, yes she is heading to bed."
"How about I tuck her in, Eli?"
'What the FUCK!?' I step in front of Luna, protecting her. "I'm sorry; that's not gonna happen."
"You said it yourself you want your sisters to be loved and cared and protected more than you."
"What? Did you hear me with Mey-Rin?"
"Every word."
"You take interest in my sisters?"
"More as a caregiver. I heard what you said of Luna."
"Go to your room, sweetie. I'll see you when I'm finish with him."
"Okay." She goes in her room, but doesn't shut it all the way; so I go to close the door, but, Sebastian steps in front of me.
"Move, Sebastian." He walks close to me and I'm against the wall.
Luna's POV
"Move, Sebastian." I hear Eli. I peek through the door and I see Eli with Sebastian walking towards her and his arms between her and she's against the wall.
"Dear Eli. Such attitude."
"What interest do you have on Luna alone and not Lily?"
"Like you said earlier. She's very unique."
"I said she was different. She's not like any other little girls."
"Must you say that word 'different'?"
"You're different yourself." Then, I hear whispering, but I couldn't understand what they're saying. I see him move his face towards Eli like he's about to kiss her. Her face blushes cherry red and eyes widen, but he places his hand on her head and picks out a piece of fuzz. My eyes widen, can't believe a man like him has gotten so close to Eli.
"Bring your sisters dinner in bed at least."
"I plan it."
"Wonderful. I'll meet you downstairs in the dining room." He walks away and as he leaves out of sight, Eli slides down to the floor, face still beat red. I run to her.
"Eli?" She looks in that same direction where Sebastian left.
"Luna?"
"Huh?"
"Did you and Lily eat dinner yet?"
"Oh. We got so carried away seeing everything, we forgot about our stomachs."
"Get your sister."
"Eli? You okay? Did he do anything to you?" She looks at me like she was in a daze.
"Who?"
"Mr. Sebastian, Elianna."
"OH! Uh-no, no! He didn't do anything!"
Elianna's POV
"He is definitely a strange one." I go to Lily's room and she's wide awake. "Lily, did you eat dinner?"
"Too engrossed with everything, I forgot."
"Luna too. Come on. Let's get you two something to eat."
WOW! We are already in chapter 2 and there's a close encounter! Stay tuned!
