Chapter 6

It's been now three months since I worked at the Phantomhive manor, I never had much thought about the Trancy manor or Claude. It didn't bother me, I always had positive thoughts throughout the day and so did my father. I let my hair grow out to my back and wore maid outfits every day, every day my father would teach me how to defend myself.

Today was shocking, yet a little terrible. Today was the day that Alois and Claude were coming as guest; I was surprised Sebastian wasn't. They were coming at 4:00p.m. And it was now 2:00 have I ever told you that I was nervous? Well I am very nervous and it was enough to get my dad worried.

"Salina, are you alright my dear?" my dad asked worried. "I'm fine dad, it's just the guest are-well you can say that I know the Trancy people" I said. My dad didn't say anything; he was about to until someone knocked on the door. "That might be our guest, excuse me my dear; we will talk later" my dad said as he walked to the doors. This is not what I was expecting for today, I wonder if Claude knows that I'm here? I thought to myself.

The guests were in the dining room with Ciel, I was making tea and snacks for the two masters. My father took the tea and snacks that I made and put them on the cart, he rolled it out with him. Before he could do that he took a look at me with that smile of his "Salina, Ciel wants to see you" my father said I took a look at him with my nervous smile and followed him.

My dad knocked on the doors, before entering he had a reply "Come in" it said. As I followed my dad in, I stayed behind him; just to make sure I don't get caught with Alois and Claude. "Salina, show yourself right now" Ciel said with a stern voice. Well my plan failed but at least I tried, I stepped to the side so people can have their eyes on me. "Everyone this is Salina, the maid of the Phantomhive family, Salina, this is the Trancy man-""Yes I know who they are young master" I finished before he could introduce them to me.

Alois looked shocked at first, but then turned into an anger expression, I got scared because every time he gets angry at someone his eyes said "I will kill you" on it. Claude had his same expression on his face and Ciel looked a little surprised but now he was about to ask me how I know the Trancy manor. I was correct.

"Salina, how do you know the Trancy manor?" Ciel said with a little curiosity. "Before I worked here I was working at the Trancy manor, because I wanted to know about the Trancy butler, Claude. I dressed as a butler to get the job and when I knew what he was, I was still planning on staying; until that morning I accidently raised my voice on Alois, my female voice, I realized I had to run because I knew he wouldn't accept me."

Before I could finish my story, Alois ran up to me and slapped me hard on my face. It didn't hurt me because I'm a demon but I fell to the floor. "YOU WILL NOT EVER LIE TO ME AGAIN!" Alois yelled as I rubbed my cheek. Alois took a deep breath and out and calmed down a bit. "Claude, let's go I think we had our welcoming" Alois ordered "Yes, your highness" Claude said as the two of them left.

"Salina, are you alright?" Ciel said "Yes master, I am fine" I replied. My father helped me off the floor, I said thank you and left the room as well. I helped my father with dinner; tonight we were having chicken with some rice and other things. To tell you the truth I never really had a dinner that was. Huge and he was having dessert with it. "Dad, does Ciel eat these big dinners every night?" I asked "Yes he does my dear" my father replied "Well if he does, how come he never gets- well you know" My dad smirked at me but never said a thing, I knew what he meant by that smirk.

After everything that's happen from today, it was time for everyone to retire for the night. I barley have any nightmares so I knew I was going to have a peaceful night, at least I have my own bed now because I sometimes read books until 4:00a.m. My dad gets irritated but I know he does it sometimes too.

I for one wasn't really tired, so I would read books until the sun rises. I finally got to my room, I open my door to see a shadowy figure near my window. I sensed it was a demon so I got cautious. "Salina, it's me don't worry" the figure said as it stepped into the moonlight, it was Claude. "Oh sorry I didn't expect you to be here" I said with a sigh of relief. Claude came towards me as he stopped and cupped my face with his hand, I felt myself blushing red. His lips pared with mine and I had that same feeling last time he kissed me.

"Salina, I promise that this won't be our last meeting" he said as he backed away from me and near the window. "I will see you again" I said he smiled and jumped out of the open window. I was at first shock, he never smiles but seeing him smile for once made me happy and a little freaked out, at least demons don't have to sleep so they don't have to have nightmares as well. I walked to my bed; feeling a little tired so instead of reading a book until sunrise, I would rather sleep and get prepared for tomorrow.

I knew Claude smiling was going to get me to have nightmares, I wasn't afraid of having one tonight, I knew it was only just a dream; it's never real but having a dream sometimes makes you want to continue it but who can decide what you dream? It's you, you can control it. Let's hope I'm right about that.
