Loyal butler..
"I didn't even hire you."
I did not take one step inside my house for Sebastian is in it. Who knows what his real motive is. Maybe his a killer! Oh gad.
"Someone hired me for you, my lord."
"Who would?! Nobody cares for me! Got it? Now get out!"
"I do. I care about my lord."
It has been a long time since I heard someone tell me that he cares for me. My parents died when in an airplane crash three years ago. They said they were going somewhere for work. They said they'll just come back more or less one week. But their weeks turned into months and years.
I shook my head and started to yell at Sebastian who was still standing by the door. "Stop fooling around and leave!"
He went near me and grabbed me by my hands. "I can't leave you. They have entrusted your safety to me." He said as he assisted me to the dining table.
"Who exactly is this 'they' you are talking about?"
"Snacks will be ready soon. Just wait and sit there." He avoided my question while preparing a food for me.
"Your parents." He suddenly spoke in the middle if an awkward silence. His words quite confused me and made me ask him what he was talking about.
"My lord, I don't mean to disrespect you and your parents but, did you know why they left you behind and flew to a different country?"
"Y-Yes. They had work to do."
"Correct. And what exactly was their work?"
"Fabrics. That's what I know."
"Yes. But something really bad happened and forced them to move in another country. On thier way to that country, the plane crashed. And.. they died. As they die, they went to hell because of the 'bad thing' that had happened."
"Wh-Why are yoy telling me this things?"
I knew I wasn't supposed to be listening to whay Sebastian says but, I felt that I really wanted to hear more.
"Because as they die, theu went to hell. And met me. They signed a contract and made me your personal demon butler to keep you safe. But don't worry, my Lord, I'llkeep my promise and make sure you're always safe."
I found his sentence believable yet I denied it. My parents were innocent people and don't have something to do with this butler who claims to be a demon.
"Okay. Enough with the story telling, Sebastian. Leave my house or I'll call the police."
"My lord, if there is something you don't understand-"
"I don't understand many things! Now get out or I'll call them this instant! I swear, Sebastian."
My phone was in my hands and I was really ready to call the police. Instead of leaving obediently, Sebastian stood still in front of me, not showing a sign that he will leave soon.
"Okay. You left me no choice, Sebastian."
I called the police and said there was an intruder in my house. After making a call, I hurried to the basement and got some rope.
"You just sit there!"
I ordered Sebastian. He was tied on a chair and I covered his mouth with a tape. Thank goodness he didn't fight back or else I won't be able to tie him up.
Sitting in the dining table while staring at him, I waited for the police to come. Sebastian didn't struggle and try to escape. He's just seating there while staring at me with his red eyes.
*knock on the door*
"Looks like the police are here."
I hurried to the door and opened it. Seeing the police, I pulled them to the dining table where my captured intruder was.
"That's him!"
I pointed on the chair where Sebastian should be, but... We saw a black cat licking its paws. The police officers were confused, and so am I. Seeing a cat instead of Sebastian made me believe that what he was aying was true. But it was impossible.
"I left him here! Right here!"
A police officer that had been my closest among them went near me and patted my head, just like he did when I knew my parents were gone.
"It had been years since the accident. Try to move on. You must be so depressed that you started to create things and wanted some companion."
After comforting me, they went out of my house and left me alone with a cat on my lap. Tears started to roll down my face as I was thinking that maybe they were right. Maybe I'm going crazy.
Trying to clear my mind, I went to the bathroom to take a relaxing bath. It was tarting to get dark when I went out of the bathroom and saw my cat stretching on my bed. It was time for dinner and I still got nothing in my kitchen. I got my purse and decided to eat outside.
While walking on the dark streets, I heard nothing but the dark night's quiet whistle. The trees were swaying peacefully as the breeze passed by. I was walking alone when I suddenly heard something that made my heart pound.
"Meow!"
"You scared me, Sebby."
It was just my cat who followed me as I continued walking to a nearby cafe.
I ordered a fruit cake and a fish for my cat. It seemed weird but, I was talking to Sebby since I had nobody to talk and say my feelings to. He just stared at me with his big red eyes while I spoke to him which I knew he really can't understand.
Walking back home, Sebby was still following me. Good thing he didn't plan to walk anywhere like stray cats do.
On my way home, I was walking down a quiet street when suddenly I heard something from the bushes which made me step backwards. I started to shake in my boots.
"Don't get scared, my lord. I'm right here." Arms hugged me from behind as I heard Sebastian talk.
"Oh gad! You scared me."
"Let's walk home, shall we?"
The usual whipsers of the dark night lingered in every corner of this world as the moon shined brightly.
