I'll try to post a new chapter everyday, but I might fall behind and miss an update. Bye!
*Alois POV*
I knock on the large wooden door multiple times, growing impatient as seconds passed. When the door opened to Lydia's angry face I pushed the door opened more and it hit her in the nose, drawing blood. "Go to hell Alois I'm in the middle of something!" She yelled wiping her nose with the back of her hand "Yeah getting your ass handed to you by a watch dog." said a familiar voice from behind her. "Huh? Lydia, you're so mean! You're having a play date and you didn't invite me?! I'm so offended!" "Uhh Alois I don't have time for your childish games right now."
I knock her to the ground and pin her there. "Not so strong now are we poison?" I whisper teasingly "I said go to hell!" she kicks me in the chest and I fly up into Claude's arms.
"Alti please escort Earl Trancy and Claude back to their carriage." Lydia says to her butler "You're not in any danger, do it yourself." Alti shoots back "Oh that's right! You have a demon butler too!" I yell excitedly "Wait, we obviously know where each other's contract seals are," I begin talking about Ciel and me, "but where is yours?" "That's none of your business Trancy!" She yells back getting defensive. "Yes I believe it is." I reply taking a step closer to her. Lydia cringed "Fine, but only if you'll leave afterwards." "Deal." I say reaching my hand out to shake on it. She shook hands with me and the pulled away rubbing her hand (not so subtly) on her clothes.
Lydia takes a deep breath and mutters something I don't quite catch. She unbuttons the top two buttons of her shirt and pulls the left side down her collar-bone. There in red and purple was her contract seal. It was simple, but I liked it. I raised my fingers as they hovered over her porcelain skin. "Don't touch it!" Lydia yelled as she slapped my hand away. Moments passed and the silence hung in the air like a cloud.
"I want to help you!" I declared "One, I don't need your help and two, with what?!" she shot back "You have haphephobia." Ciel stated from the parlor. "I have what now?!" Lydia shot back, just as cold. "It's a fear of touching. That's why you struggled so much when Sebastian restrained you." Ciel replied.
"Whatever! Could you two just leave!?" Lydia yells. "It's already dark Lady Slade," I began batting my eyelashes like an innocent child, "You can't possibly send us home now!" "Watch me!" She said through gritted teeth "I must agree with Earl Trancy, it's much too late for people of such high class to be out on the streets without a purpose." Claude said from behind me
*Lydia POV*
I'm too angry and humiliated to deal with these idiots right now. I mean it's just one night right? "Alti, show them to their rooms please." I said angrily. "I'm going to bed. If any of you come into my room I will strangle you." "Yes miss." Alti said from behind me. I walked upstairs and took a short bath when I got out I threw on my nightgown and stood in front of the mirror. I took my sword and read the engraving that was written in French. Poison sera toujours couler dans vos veines a` moins que vous le faites pour l`arrĂȘter. Poison will forever flow through your veins unless you do so to stop it.
I untied my bun until my braid flowed down my back. I held my sword and with trembling fingers as I cut my fiery hair that reminded me of my past.
Flashback
I was about eight years old. I lay helpless on the merciless streets of London, begging. When I came home my parents were holding a thick piece of paper. I saw my mother's eyes start to water."What is it mother?" I asked my thick accent affecting my words. "Lydia, honey, we can't live here anymore. I want you to-" She was cut off "What?! What will we do? Where are we going to live?" I questioned
I will be forever chained in hell. And I wouldn't change a thing that I've ever done.
Flashback over
"Mistress. It is time to wake up." Alti said, pulling back the curtains. I sat up and went to run my fingers through my hair, but then remembered how I cut it. I looked around my room admiring the forest green rug and cream carpet. My bed is made of dark brown wood with a matching cabinet, table, dresser, and chairs. When I gazed through my empty room I noticed a small, dark figure in each chair. I quickly jumped out of bed and walked to the chair. As I approached I recognized Alois in one chair and Ciel in the other. Just as I was about to scream for them to get out Alois jumped out of the plush chair and covered my mouth.
"Look at him. He's so cute don't you think?" Alois asked over my shoulder. I could feel his hot breath on my neck which made me squirm. I stepped on his foot and elbowed him in the stomach. A loud thump signaled he fell to the floor. I rubbed my face and suddenly felt a hand on my waist. My face heat up and I slapped Alois's hand. "Don't touch me." I said cringing.
"You're not very nice, Lydia, I think we'll have to change your attitude." I can see that his mouth is forming a C so I quickly clamp my hand over his mouth to stop it. Alois flips our position and he ends up pinning me to the floor with my hands above my head and my lower body trapped by the way he sat on my torso. "Alois, get off me." I demand. "Nope not until you beg." Alois retorted adding pressure to my ribcage, making breathing a chore. With all my strength I pull myself up and push him off. "I will never beg for anything, ever again."
We all sat at the breakfast table and Ciel didn't approve of cutting my hair. "You're a lady! You're supposed to be proper and fancy and feminine! The head of the Slade family will be seen as a cross dresser!" he yelled trying to upset me "I think she looks adorable as a lord instead of a lady." Alois said smirking at his breakfast. "You're a disgrace to your family's name." Ciel muttered "What did you just say, dog?" I screeched standing up and slamming my hands down onto the table "Let me remind you that this is my life, not yours so leave me be!" I yelled tears forming, stinging my eyes as I stabbed the table with the dull knife.
