Next thing I knew, I was sitting right next to Nichole on the side of her bed. She looked so peaceful…
Hannah was to the right of me, fiddling around with my butterflies in their cage. She moved her hand inside and they all drew close to her like she was covered in some honey or something. (Butterflies eat that…right?)
Could she see me? If Claude could, maybe Hannah could too. She was a demon too…I think. Ugh, the uncertainty is nerve racking.
If Hannah could indeed tell that I was there in sprit form and sitting right next to her, she didn't make any indication that she cared I was there. She instead smiled lightly as the butterflies swarmed her hand and fluttered softly.
"Nn…"
I turned to see Nichole stirring, her eyes opening ever so slightly. Her brown eyes looked right at me for a mere second, but then shifted to Hannah. But I swear to anyone, she knew I was there and looked at my eyes for an instant.
I decided quickly after that moment to get Claude. I had nearly forgotten him, and I had some pretty nasty things to say to him.
I got up, blowing a kiss to Nichole and running to my room. That was where he was telling me to sleep when I refused…
Opening my door, I greeted myself and that demon.
"Young Master, this is rather too sudden. She is only a lowly traveler. You mustn't waste your time on someone like her."
"Oh please." The other me said, getting his (mine…? I honestly don't know at this point…) nightgown on, refusing Claude's help. "She isn't important, yes. However, I would like to have some…fun with her first…"
"Fun, Young Master…?" Claude asked, his gaze shifting to me momentarily and then back to old me.
"Yes…fun…a certain kind of fun. At first I'll only make her my maid…but soon, I'll make her my little play thing…"
Oh crap…this. Now let me assure you, I would never ever do this now…now that I know her. Everything had been evilly planned in my head, which was the worst part…I had planned making my 15th birthday a bit…well…
Claude nodded his head. "I see. Rather young, aren't we Young Master… "Oh shut up. Now onto the fake tears and all…"
It was a special talent I had I guess. I could cry at will. I didn't even have to try. All I had to close my eyes and think about crying. I guess I have cried enough in my life that I can do it on command.
Claude shot me another glance and went back to Past-Alois. "I see…by the way, the Queen is requesting you get engaged soon. Most noble women have already been taken it seems…"
The old me rolled his tear infested eyes. "You're kidding right?! I don't exactly want a gritty ol' wife. I'd rather someone I chose."
"Like the American girl?"
Past-Alois froze and shook his head. "No! Look, I'm just keeping her around for a bit. After a few months once I grow bored of her, I can toss her in the streets! Easy! I am NOT attracted to her in the slightest bit."
Wow…I lie pretty terribly…
"Whatever you say, Young Master." Claude spoke up again, his eyes constantly going back between me and Past-Alois. "But the Queen or-"
"UGHHHHH!"
Jeez, that was what I sounded like…? I sounded like an annoying little kid. Was this…how everyone saw me?
"Master, just keep those things in mind. But make sure to make Sebastian's death your top priority."
"Like I could forget that dear Claude." Past-Alois said, his face turning red from fake tears. "Capturing Ciel and making him mine and mine alone is my biggest objective in life. Girls, and whatever the hell the Queen wants for me is way behind."
"No…" I muttered aloud, even though I knew only Claude could hear me. "Love…that's what I want most…Not some stupid revenge…."
Claude only gave a smirk at me that Past-Alois completely missed.
"Alright…I'll go now." The other me said, picking up a candle and leaving me and Claude in the room by ourselves.
"Do you like having to relive what you used to be, Master…?" Claude asked, his smirk finally showing.
"No!" I screamed, "I hate it! I was a terrible person! That's why everyone hates me! But I know now!"
"Sure you do…" The demon butler chuckled and I couldn't help but feel the extreme need to punch him violently.
"Look… Nichole I and are going back to her time! No matter what you try to pull Claude, it shall not work!" I clenched my fists. This demon…he needed to die. Right now!
"Master, Samantha is on her way. You shall fall to us." Claude said, shaking his head. "If there was any other demon I put my faith in, it would be her."
"Who is she?!" I yelled, my anger tipping. "This Samantha girl?! Your wife or something?!" Could demons even have wives? Maybe…? I don't know…
Claude shook his head. "No no….she is merely one hell of a demon, like myself."
"UGH!" I stormed out, sick of his stupid half-answers. "I'LL FIND OUT MYSELF!"
I kept walking, heading to nowhere in particular. I had to find out who this woman named Samantha. Whoever she was, I needed to find out. What Claude said sounded as if she would kill us at once…
KNOCK KNOCK
Who was that? And at this time? Well, no need to keep them waiting. Maybe I could scare them by opening the door slowly so that when they see no one is there they scream. That'd be fun.
So I crept to the door and opened it slowly. "Helllllooooooo…"
A hooded figure in a long black cape walked in and didn't even take a double take that no one had opened the door.
It (I couldn't see what gender the person was. I was thinking a girl, seeing how I a bit of greenish hair coming out of the hood.) kept moving deeper into my mansion like it owned the place!
I followed silently, afraid she was Samantha. What if she was, and read to kill me?
Thankfully, the figure removed her hood. Yes, it was a girl. She had dark green hair that looked like it went all the way down her back. It was all over to the side however, so must have made her top heavy.
"Aloisssssss."
That voice….it was….
"Stop hiding from meeeee."
The green haired girl turned around and looked me right in the eyes. Her face was completely different, with her eyes now red demon-like and hair GREEN.
"I've missed you back home…" Green-haired Chelsea said, her voice quivering. "It's rude to leave a lady behind you know...…"
PLOT TWISTS! So how did you guys like learning about what Alois had originally planned for Nichole? Some deep stuff people. And to people who care, DoE will be posted on the weekend. I'm tired of typing...
