Alright, now, people online who im not going to name here (COUGHCOUGHcharacter-critique-central on tumblrCOUGHCOUGHCOUGH) have been rude to me nd have been posting mean reviws of my stuff, like most of you already know, so im a little pissed off. my writing should be good, though, so dont worry, lol. ill be writing a lot, i think, mostly bcause i want to prove a point to that dumb blog, and that douchebag who keps updating tvtropes, and saying that kim and is stuff is bad (who someone told me actally submitted adora to the blog to be insulted, whichis a BLATANT ATTACK, and im pretty sure i could actually qualify that as harrassment or something in court) that im NOT going to be intimidating into stopping writing, juts because your bullying me, and saying that im bad at what im doing, and should stop helping kim with her stuff! anyways, tho, heres the chapter. ill be updating morganite soon, too.
i slept for a while. my dreams, were mostly all nightmares...i remembered the rough times id had on the street, all of the times id have to steal to survive, and outsmart people who wanted to kill me, and steal from me. I also remembered the time, when id stabbed a person my age, and ran away before i could se if they were okay...i regret that every day, and every time i look at the knife that i committed the crime with, i hicup and sob.
I didnt sleep for long, though, since at 3:42 in the morning, i woke up. There was a cold sweat, and i felt a chill on the back of my neck. There was a shadow at the end of the big bed i was in, and i screamed befroe the shadow sushed me and turned on a light. Thats when i noticed that the shadow, was sebastian. "Mr redgrave," he said. His voice was a bit cold, and his eyes were glowing red. I couldnt breath. "I undersand that my young master has taken a fancy to you."
I wanted to say something to this, and deny what the butler was saying, but i couldnt talk. "Fortuntaely, i see you as a stalwart, and trustworthy, young man. Thus, this is fine by me. HOWEVER. If you overstay youre welcome, i wont hesitate to...escort you out of be builidng immediately. Do i make myself herd?"
I nodded, wondering what he was even talking about. I was so hypnotised by his smooth, seductive voice that i couldnt focus on what he was saying, even if i wanted to. "Now, then, i would like to assist you," sebastian digressed. "I will bestoe upon you a great advantage. However, you wont know what it is right away. It's a surprise. However, to keep this advantage, yu will need to keep this red rose on your person, at all times." He smiled kindly and put a beautiful red rose in my pocket. "I wish you the best of luck, taro redgrave." He bowed and left the room. I was confused at first, and tried to think about what he said, but then i fell asleep.
I woke up later to see a girl in my room, a girl with a maids uniform, purple hair, and big mogeko glasses (an: see?! Your not the only person who can tvtropes! Like phoenix right would say, take that!) was in my room. She noticed i was awake and bowed quickly, it wasnt as good as when sebastian did it. "Ah! Good mornin mr redgrave!" she shriekd in a cocknee british accent. "Ive brought you some breakfast, accroding to the young masters orders!"
I looked at my nightstand, and there was a silver tray with eggs, bacon, and french toast on it, along with some orange juice. My stomach groweled, since that was more food than id been given, for almost four years. The maid smiled, bowed, and started to leave. "Oh, and by the way, my name is mei-rin," she said quickly, before leaving fast.
I ravenusly shoveled down all of the food, not really caring about manners, and i ate every bite. After that, i got up and streched. For ones, my back didnt hurt when i got out of bed. I was so used to sleeping on the street, that i forgot what a bed felt like. I saw a note on the wardrobe, though, that said, 'Dear mr redgrave; you can feel free to borrow any of the clothes in this wardrobe. You and the young master are the same size, so all of it should fit perfectly. from, sebastian. P.s.; don't forget the rose ;)'
I remembered the rose from last night suddenly, and I found it in the pocket i left it in, perfectly intact, red, and glowing. I wondered what it did, before I dug into the wardrobe, and i found a fancy red tailcoat, a white dressshirt with pleated cuffs, and a high collar, brown breeches, and a cravat. I also found those shoes that look like mary janes, but have a buckle on the front and are worn by boys, and white socks to go with those. I kept wearing my newsboy cap, because it felt more comfortable than a tophat. I put the rose in my front pocket, where it could be seen, but i could hide it if i needed to.
I left the room after I got dressed, and cleaned up, and i ran right into ciel in the hallway. He seemed angry at first, but then he calmed down when he saw it was me, and looked happy when he saw how well dressed i was. "This is a welcome develipment," he said, looking me up and down with a smile. "You clean up surprisingly well."
"Thanks! You look good, too," I said. He was wearing a black greatcoat with dark blue ruffles at the neck, dark grey tights, and the same kind of shoes i was wearing. I also saw that he was wearing his ring, and i smiled. His eyes caught onto the rose, and he blinked, but he didnt say anything about it.
Ciel blushed, but didnt scold me for complimenting him like i thought he would. "Um, furthermore. Meet me in the garden at nine, redgrave." With that, ciel turned and left. All i could think was, why did he need to see me in the garden, in two hours?
