Chapter # 5 "dreaming"
"Sebastian, this is an order. Never leave my side. Stay by my side. Always"
"Yes my lord"
These words keep echoing and echoing in my head.
"Stay by my side…"
A voice of a boy…
"Kill them!"
"Yes, my lord"
And Sebastian's…
"That dream again?" she said while rubbing her eyes. It seems that Ciela just woke up from yet another one of her mysterious dreams, where she's been hearing voices of a boy and Sebastian's. There has to be a meaning to all this dreams, but what could t be? She thought as she heard the door open, there she was Sebastian pulling a cart as he entered the room.
"Good morning ojousan you're up early today" he greeted with a smile.
"I'm fed up sleeping." She said with an annoyed tone.
"Why ever so?"
"It's none of your business"
"But my lady, as the head of this household and of the fantomhive company, you must surely have a proper rest." He said as he moved closer to the bed.
"And we all do respect, but you're still young. It's not proper if you don't sleep, you won't grow any taller" he said with a playful tone, knowing that ciela was a shorty. Ciela glared at Sebastian as she got embarrassed.
"Shut up Sebastian"
"Yes my apologies my lady"
After a few minutes, Ciela was done eating her breakfast and she was now sitting on the chair of her office, doing some paper works.
What's wrong with me? Why can't I tell him that my dreams are about him…or somewhat connected to him. And what's with that other voice? Who is he? Is he the boy I saw in the painting?
I want to know who he is.
I have to know who he is.
Ciela was very curious about her dreams. They could mean something. Ciela, being a complicated thinker believes that there's a reason for everything, even dreams. But first she needs to find a way to tell Sebastian about her dreams and how to make Sebastian speak up.
Later that day, she has been following Sebastian around the mansion. And she's making sure that no one would see her, especially those three servants. But Sebastian would surely notice her anyway.
"Ojousan, you have been following me for a while, is anything wrong?"
Ciela jerked up from where she was hiding as she heard Sebastian calling out to her.
"N-nothing, I'm fine" she said as a brush of pink shaded her cheeks.
"Well then, may I suggest that you go back to your office? You'll get exhausted if you follow me, and you still have paper work to do." He said politely as he smiled. Ciela just blushed then walked away. When she was about to go to her office, she heard a crashing sound coming from the kitchen. So she decided to check it out, when she was at the door she saw Meylin and broken dishes on the floor.
"Meylin?"
"Ah!-o-ojousan!" she said as she lift her self up.
"I-I'm sorry ojousan!" she said as she bowed down.
"It's alright" she said as she sigh, then an idea appeared in her mind.
"Meylin, can I ask you something?"
"Of course ojousan, anything"
"How many years have you been working in this mansion?" she asked
"I've worked here for two years milady" Meylin, whose memories have been erased by Sebastian didn't know that it has been five years since Ciel's death. And she didn't know that the mansion was burned again.
"Did you happen to work for Sebastian's last master?" A moment of silence filled the kitchen as Ciela asked, then finally Meylin started to talk.
"Yes. He was a very kind master; even though he's cold sometimes he's still a very kind master to us." Meylin let out a small painful smile as she finished the sentence.
"…….."
"Thank you Meylin." She said as she walked out of the kitchen. Moments passed, she heard another noise coming from the garden. She checked it out and saw Finny crying with a bunch of dead trees surrounding him.
"Wha-what happen here?"
"Sorry ojousan! I was thinking of fertilizing the trees but I mistaken the tank of acid for fertilizer!" he said crying. Ciela just let of a sigh and then walks towards Finny.
"It's alright, just buy some seeds in town and ask Sebastian for some money later." She said with an annoyed face.
"Oh! Thank you ojousan! You'r so kind!" he said happily.
"Umm...ojousan, may I ask a question?"
"What is it?"
"Um… are you somewhat related to our young master?" he said shyly.
"…why did you ask?"
"Because you looked like him…so I thought you were related in any way" he said scratching his head.
"No. we're not related. But can you tell me more about your master?" she said as she stared at Finny.
"Well, before I came here, the young master was the only one who welcomed me and gave me a home. Though he never smiles, we still did our best to make the young master happy. He was a very kind bocchan." He said smiling but the smile seem so painful.
"…thank you Finny, go buy some seeds now." She said as she left. When she was walking down the hallway, she felt something troubling her.
Everybody loves him huh. He's love by many people, pampered by them… what a wonderful life he must have. Not a care in the world.
She was walking straight to the office when she was Bard outside the window, it seems like he's cleaning his flamethrowers. Since the window was open, she can hear Bard murmuring something.
"Yaaaaaaaaaawn……this is boring…I wish the young master was here, we all miss him." Bard said to himself as he smiled sadly. This made Ciela twitch an eye. Is she not good enough to be the head of the house? Or is she just envious?
"Tsk" she said as she entered her office.
Night finally come, it was time for Ciela to sleep. As usual Sebastian would prepare her clothes and let her change on her own. As soon as she's finished changing, she sat on the edge of her bed, thinking about what she will do or what will she ask Sebastian.
"Good night milady" he said as he walks towards the door. Then he was stopped by a weak voice.
"Sebastian…" she said as she looked at Sebastian.
"What is it ojousan?" he said as he turned around.
"I've been having …this dream…" she said as she looked down.
"Dreams what kind of dreams ojousan?" he smiled as he went closer to the bed.
"………" Ciela stayed silent for a while when finally she lifted her head and looked at Sebastian, letting her eyes meet with the tall man in front of her.
"Ojousan?" Sebastian said with a confused tone.
"…a dream about a boy…with blue black hair and deep blue eyes."
Sebastian felt his heart skip a beat as he knew who Ciela was talking about.
"Who is he to you……Sebastian?" a moment of silence filled the room. Sebastian then puts down the little chandelier to face his young mistress. He gathered all his courag to tell Ciela his young master's tragic story.
"He wass…my beloved young master…Ciel Phantomhive"
~END~
Blacklili29: hey sorry if you got confused in the part about the servant loosing their memories and the years. This is how it works:
Sebastian met Ciel when Ciel was 10 years old. One year passed Meylin, Finny and Bard started working in the mansion. 5 years passed since ciel died, Sebastian once again recruited the three servants and erased their memories. So they knew that it has only been 1 year since Ciel's death and not 5 years.
That's all for now! See you in chapter six! Love you all an d God bless!
