Chapter 7
Throughout every day, I would see Claude often and I thought to myself that demons couldn't feel any emotion, but I thought wrong. Every time I see Claude, I felt like I was safe and protected. When Claude kisses and touches me, I would melt and feel like I was in paradise; Claude's paradise. Every once in a while Claude would ask me to marry him, I would turn him down because I wasn't ready and he understood me. To tell you the truth I was ready, I would marry him 100 times if I have to but I turn him down because I want to cherish the nights we spend together and sooner or later I will marry him.
Claude's P.O.V
I walked through the Trancy manor halls, I couldn't stop thinking about Salina and I know why she kept turning down my offers to marry her. She wanted to cherish the nights we have and continue them until she will say yes to my offer. Right now I wanted to see her; see if she is alright, but I had to stay at the Trancy mansion until the day is gone and I would see her.
I never had the feeling of love, hate, sorrow, anger, and happiness before. I was feeling one of them and had some lust and desire with it, I had never experience this feeling before but now I was. The master wanted me to give him attention and love, it is not the same thing but I had to follow his orders until it was the day I can make one hell of a feast out of him.
I was right now working in the kitchen; preparing tea and snacks for Alois. As I was preparing it, the maid, Hannah, walked in and said that we needed to talk. I had a feeling that if I talk to the maid, it would grow bad at the end but I took my chances and just nodded my head. "I know what you do at night, I know you meet her there and tell her that you love her" she said, I was shocked on what she said "How did you know?" I asked and demanded. "It doesn't matter, but it may matter if the lord finds out" she was blackmailing me and I got irritated "I won't tell but I won't make any promises" she said as she walked out of the kitchen doors.
I brought the tea and snacks to the young master, I knocked on the door "Come in" the voice said and I open the door. As I looked I saw Hannah next to the master, the master looked angry with something; and that something was me. "Hannah, leave us" Alois demanded, Hannah bowed and left the room with that last smirk on her face as she left. Everything went silent for a moment, until Alois spoke up "Claude, you are not to see Salina ever again and that is an order". I felt now that I was heartbroken and sad, now I know what sorrow feels like and I didn't want to feel it ever again.
"Your highness, I do not know what your talk-"I was cut off by the master "You know exactly what I'm talking about!" he yelled. I was sudden by his outburst "Hannah told me what you been doing at night, seeing that witch, you are not allowed to ever see that girl again do I make myself clear?" he wanted the answer that said yes, but I couldn't say yes or no. "I said do I make myself clear?" he demanded again.
I felt anger inside of me, and that anger was coming to my master. Right now I wanted to kill Alois right here and right now but I couldn't. "Yes, your highness" I said as I bowed and left the room, sad, anger, hatred builds it up inside me.
Salina's P.O.V
When I was walking through the halls, I kept thinking about Claude and his kiss on my lips. I was planning for the night we meet, if he asked me to marry him I would say yes and it would be happily ever after.
As a maid, I would clean, wash, sweep, and other things. Right now I was preparing tea so my father could take it to the young master. My father came in just in time, I was already done with everything and it was my time to get prepared to see Claude tonight. "My dear, you seem happy" my dad said "Huh, Oh yeah I'm just happy" I said, snapped out of my thoughts about my lover.
"Salina, were you planning on going somewhere tonight?" my dad asked. If I told my dad that I was seeing a demon tonight he might get mad, but I am old enough to take care of myself so I should tell him what I'm doing tonight. "Well I plan on seeing someone tonight" I said with a smile "Oh really, who would that be then?" my dad asked curious. "Um his name is Claude" I said plainly "Oh well let's hope you will enjoy your time tonight" he said, I was actually kind of surprised that he didn't get mad at me but I was happy that he accepted what I was doing tonight.
It was now midnight and it was time for me to go and meet Claude. I decided to dress nicely, because tonight is the night I will say yes to his offer and be happy for the rest of my life.
I was at the alley way, it was weird because he usually gets here before me and he's not here in our meeting spot. Oh well I will just wait, he is probably busy doing something for his master; but at mid night the master goes to bed at 10:00 and that is a little weird. I waited but he never showed and I was getting worried that he won't show at all, I felt like I got prepared for nothing.
Well he never came, I now just walked back home with a sad heart. I finally made it to the Phantomhive mansion and I jumped to my window, I still was heartbroken but when dawn comes I will go the Trancy mansion and ask why Claude why he didn't show up tonight.
Right now I was heartbroken and tired and I wanted to go to bed, somehow I wasn't tired but I didn't care; maybe I could cry myself to sleep. That is exactly what I did, I cried all night and waited till I was tired and have a no peaceful sleep tonight.
