Now I understand that you might be confused about this or possibly a little upset, but yes, I have been staying in the Trancy estate for about 3 years and it will be 4 in a few months. To be honest, I was very…conflicted about coming here but once Trancy let me into his home, we settled our dispute fairly quickly and he allowed me to stay as long as I needed to. I was forever in debt to him for it.

I walked back into our room, yes our room, and I sat back in the same chair that I was just in only moments ago. Alois was taking off his jacket and laid back onto the bed, tired. I smiled at him and turned around, looking outside the window next to me. It was late already.

"So what did you do while I was away?" I heard a voice behind me; I didn't turn his way.

"Didn't do much; trained with Claude and the others for a few hours." I shrugged and focused my vision on the half moon. So beautiful. A pair of arms wrapped around my shoulders. He was snuggling into my neck along with heavy breathing.

"Really? Nothing else?" I shook my head and looked at him from the corner of my eye. He chuckled and toyed with my hair.

"How was the meeting?" I turned my head to him keeping a smile on my face.

"One word: Boring!" We both laughed.

Ever since I lived here, I've been living comfortably. Yes I know, it's surprising that I would say something like that but it's true. He gladly let me in when I asked for his help and I explained how I became a demon and why I couldn't go to Ciel. Unbelievably, he was very understanding as to why I couldn't go and how I feeling. I was scared and nervous with other emotions that wanted to come bursting out. However, after about a year of staying with him, all those feelings dissipated into thin air and everything became calm and relaxing.

Considering Alois Trancy, I assume most people know who he is and his sadistic nature but he never gave me the privilege of treating me in that way. I watched him hit Claude, gouge Hannah's eye out again, and the twins…well they were always perfect and silent so they didn't seem as a problem to the Earl.

Claude and the others seemed to grow used to me, maybe even like me. Well I knew Claude liked me and the twins did too; Hannah on the other hand, we'd have disputes every now and again but Alois would punish Hannah for not showing courtesy to me. She did always start the fights anyway. I would hang out with Claude mostly because he would help me gain better control of my strength and abilities as a quote on quote, newborn.

"So I wanted to talk to you anyway about something important." Alois shifted off my shoulders and motioned me to the bed. I came over and sat down into the soft comforter. The Earl stood in front of me and took my hands. His skin was warm as was his smile.

"What is it?" I asked him. He was looking straight into my eyes with seriousness.

"I haven't decided what I wanted in return for letting you stay here and I know it's been bothering you." I nodded and it was killing me to know what he wanted back. However I was willing to wait.

"All you need to do to let me know and I will comply." I said with certainty. He's done so much for me already; it was only fair that I return the favor. I thanked him and walked out of the room once Claude came in to get the Earl changed. I closed the door behind me and roamed the estate, knowing where everything was but I still enjoyed walking around.

Alois always had the tendency to redecorate the entire place once a month. This month was the color brown; all the main rooms were either a light shade or a dark shade.

I passed the kitchen and saw the twins talking amongst themselves in their strange language. I giggled but they heard me. They eventually motioned me over with smiles and I joined the conversation. So it turns out that the twins were actually having some kind of ancient demonic language. They taught me a little but it took about 2 years to finally understand them. It was worthwhile to finally know what they were saying though.

We talked for about 10 minutes or so about random topics like always. They were such gossipers! They loved to talk about Claude, Alois or even Hannah so much when I was around. They would tell me what Claude would think of me including Alois and Hannah, even though I was fully aware of what Hannah thought of me. I didn't give a damn about her anyway she was just a waste of space.

"Aurora it's time." My head flew up and I heard Claude's voice from afar. I excused myself from the triplets and walked out towards the grand hall. The walkway was spacious as I glanced at the different paintings on the wall; they were tarot card paintings. I stood in one place, examining 'the fool' and heard footsteps pacing towards me. Those lavender pupils held a tint of hatred when they were focused on me; it didn't bother me at all.

Hannah glared at me and stopped a few feet away. It was like a glaring contest with only her in it; I was just trying to not paying attention to her. She never liked me and I was always aware of that. I wasn't scared of her or anything she would try to do to me. Hannah was useless in my eyes. I passed her without saying a word and continued on, leaving the tensed atmosphere that I was put in and went into the large room.

There was Claude standing in the middle of the room with his arms crossed, waiting for me. He had a cocky smirk on his face; I rolled my eyes knowing what he meant. I stopped a few feet from him and crossed my own arms.

"So…think you can beat me this time?" He asked with sure fired confidence; I smirked.

"Trust me, I know I can." I scoffed at him; Claude brung himself closer to me, gripping my chin.

"Want to bet on it?" My eyes narrowed. He had a plan up his sleeve.

"What would the terms be?" I asked him and nudged away from his hold on me. He walked down south and stopped before turning the corner, his gave a devilishly handsome smirk.

"We'll discuss that after I win." He chuckled and I followed after him to a room that was all too familiar to me.
