The carraige door opened to reveal a well aged man with grey hair and the attire of a butler. "Welcome Lord and Lady Edgar." The man greeted bowing slightly. "My name is Tanaka, I am one of the butlers of this estate." He looked so sweet with that aged smile adorning his face. I curtsied as Johnathan bowed respectfully. As we began walking up to the manstion, I took the time to fully take this place in. The estate was breath- taking, and the front garden was stunning. "Tanaka, will you be working on this case with the Earl and I?" Johnathan asked. "No, that would be Sebastian." Tanaka replied. "You mean, you're not the head butler?" I asked a bit confused. "No. That is also Sebastian." If this Sebastian was the head butler, why isn't he the one to let us in? I thought to myself. When we walked into the estate, I was in awe. Everything was freakishly clean. I was even a little scared to keep walking in case we might dirty the floor. "This way, the young master is awaiting in his study." Tanaka informed leading us up some stairs. I clung onto Johnathan's arm the entire way up. Tanaka stopped in front of two large doors and held them open for us.
We entered. I went pale and quickly dropped Johnathan's arm from my grasp. There he was. My former lover stood by a young boy's side. His face beamed emotionlesly into mine. My heart was pumping blood faster than I thought possible. "Welcome Lord and Lady Edgar." The young boy spoke. "I am the Earl Ciel Phantomhive, and the head of this household." The young Earl stated dully. This young man is an Earl? I thought to myself in disbelief. "This is Sebastian Michaelis, my head butler." Said butler bowed as he was introduced. The boy had good taste in names, I thought. "He will be showing you to your room. If you have any questions, feel free to call for him." As Ciel went to sit in his chair, Sebastian made his way towards us for the door. I swiftly went to stand to stand closer to my husband. "This way, please." Sebastian said with a close eyed smile. I quietly inhaled as I followed the butler with my husband. I analized the butler as I drifted off into thought. I have never been so afraid to be near him. He comes off as intimidating and sadistic to me now. Well, he was always those things. But never around me. "Lord Edgar." Sebastian addressed not turning around. "Yes?" Johnathan answered. "The young master would like to start disscusing the case as soon as you've found your room. You know your way to the study I presume." "Yes sir." Jonathan replied. Soon enough we were in front of a room Sebastian confirmed was ours. It was a large room. Our luggage was beside the large double bed. "The young master sure is generous." I said to myself walking about the dark room. The only bit of light was coming from the hallway through the opened door. I look over to see the butler still standing by the door frame. "Well, I best be heading back to the study." Johnathan said beginning to walk out. "Wait!" I paniced grabbing onto his arm. "Can I come with you?" I asked sounding a bit desperate. Johnathan smiled at me, then said, "You'll be fine. Just remember, the sooner I finish today's work..." The trailed off to spare the butler of anything he didn't want to hear. Johnathan gave me a quick kiss onstead before taking his leave.
I looked up at the dark butler to see him looking down at me in utter distaste. I quickly looked away and turned to unpack the laggage. I jumped as I heard the door being slammed. The room was now in complete darkness. My heart started beating faster as I felt the same dark presence from earlier engulf the room. "Why would you want to go with him? Do you really think he can protect you?" Sebastian said from behind me. "He can protect me from a lot of things." I said patheticly. "But not from the biggest threat to your life." He replied coyly into my ear. "And what would that be?" I challanged. There was silence. "Answer m-" I stoped as I felt a hand on my hip. I pulled away as fast as I could. "Don't touch me!" I warned. "Where is your protector now?" Sebastian taunted into my ear. It gave me chills. I froze as I felt him run his hand onto my stomach. "I will have my revenge, Rose. You will die by my hands." I heard him chuckle for a split second. "I may even get to taste your soul." He said with sick amusment. He pressed his body harder onto mine and bit my neck forcefully while resting his other hand on the small of my back. "This is all your fault, demon. You're gong to end my life for the mistake you made!" I snarled back at him. He released my neck and brought his face up to mine. "You left me for that pathetic excuse of a mate!" Sebastian seethed gripping onto my stomach tighter. "That may be true, but you shouldn't have fallen for me. You were the one who repeatedly told me demons weren't capable of love! I only took your word for it, and you get angry at me when I find someone who truely loves me." I felt him grip tighter to where I almost couldn't breath. "You're a pathetic excuse for a demon." I finished. Sebastian's eyes turned to purple slits before her threw me into the wall across the room. He glared down at me and said, "Dinner will be ready soon." With that he opened the door to leave, The room grew bright for a moment before leaving me in the darknes again.
Last chapter was short. So I thought I'd make this one a bit longer ^w^
