My Wonderful Master, Alois
Home Sweet Manor
~*Venus POV*~
We arrived at the master's home. It was extravagant! Magnificent! Marvelous! Huge! As Claud drove the carriage up to the front door, I noticed there were four people standing in front of the steps. A beautiful woman and three men who looked exactly like each other. They must be the other servants Master told me about.
The carriage stopped, and Claud opened the door, helping Master out. I jumped out after Master and stayed close to him.
"Hannah! Take Venus to get cleaned up! She will be staying here as my new pet. Timber, Thompson, and Canterbury! Go to town and buy her some comfortable clothes she'll be able to move around in. Claud, go make some tea."
Everyone followed Master's orders. Hannah led me inside and to a door. I started to get a very bad feeling about what was on the other side. She opened the door and I saw a tub. I knew I had a bad feeling about this! She's going to give me a bath!
I tried to make a run for it but she caught me by my wrist and dragged me into the terrible room. I fought with all my might to get away, but to no avail, Hannah's grip was like steel. She somehow managed to get night dress off of me in my struggle for freedom.
"Now Miss Venus, Master wants you nice and clean." She said in a soothing voice to calm me down, which didn't work.
"NONONONONONONONONONONONO! *HISS*GROWL* I DON'T WANNA GET WET! NONONONONO!" I bit and clawed, hissed and growled at her to let me go. She finally grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and put me into the tub of warm water. I growled and hissed as she washed my hair. My ears were pinned back in anger. I would try to get free every once in a while, splashing water everywhere, but Hannah's grip was strong.
After two hours, the torture was finally over, I was clean and Hannah had a lot of fresh new cuts and bites. Luckily, when my bath was done, the triplets had returned with some new clothes. They had gotten an assortment of button up shirts and shorts just like the Master! The were in blacks and greens and they even got me a purple collar with a gold bell on it! Hannah helped me into them, cutting a hole in the shorts for my tail. She tried to put shoes on me but I absolutely refused to, they were too uncomfortable.
Once I was finally dressed and ready, Hannah took me to the Master's study where he was having his tea. I was still in a fowl mood from having to take a bath, so my ears were still flattened. Hannah knock on the door for permission. When it was granted she opened it and led me in.
Upon seeing the master, my mood immediately brightened. He was sitting behind his desk, talking to Claud about something, eating some cake. I skipped over to him and sat by his feet, purring and rubbing his legs. He started to pet my head, making me close my eyes and purr louder. I pushed into his touch, loving the attention. I could hear paper being shuffled and Master's voice. Every once in a while, Master would stop petting me to do something. I just rested my head in his lap, purring softly at his sent, drifting off to sleep.
I love my new home.
~*Alois POV*~
After I had given everyone their orders, I went to my study to wait for my tea. Within minutes of getting settled, the peace and quiet was broken by some loud yelling.
"NONONONONONONONONONONONO! *HISS*GROWL* I DON'T WANNA GET WET! NONONONONO!"
I had forgotten that cats hate being wet. Crap. So much for me enjoying my tea in peace. Although, I do have to say, it was rather amusing. I couldn't wait to see what Hannah looked like, probably covered in claw marks. Claud came in with my tea, along with a delicious looking cake, 30 minutes later.
"Your tea, your highness. And sorry about the noise, I will go and take care of it." Claud was about to turn and leave.
"No, it's rather entertaining to hear." I took a sip of the delicious tea, listening to the growls and threats.
"Very well your highness."
"Claud, is there anything going on or something I need to know about?"
"The social season is coming up, your highness, so you will most likely be receiving some invitations here soon."
"Hmm. I guess that also means I should throw some parties as well. How about a month from now. We have a ball. I want to show off my new pet."
"Very well your highness."
The next hour and a half was spent planning the ball. We were discussing the guest list when Hannah knocked on the door. I called her in and wasn't surprised to see her covered in scratches and bite marks. Cats really hate getting wet. I looked past her to see my little pet, her ears flat against her head. She perked up immediately, however, when she saw me.
Skipping over to me, Venus sat like she did in the carriage and started rubbing against my legs again. I reached down to give her a quick pet. When I did however, she started purring louder and pushing her head into my hand for more. I continued to plan the ball with Claud, deciding about guests and writing invitations.
"Claud, I want Phantomhive to come. He must be there."
"Yes your highness."
I looked down to see that my pet has fallen asleep, smiling. I couldn't help but smile at how cute she is, she was even purring in her 's going to be different around here from now on.
I can tell.
