I had to wait almost an hour in my room by myself before Claude came back. I was playing Puzzles and Dragons on my phone when he came in.
"If I can interrupt, Malady," Claude said, walking in like a stalker. "Master wanted to see you. Let me escort you to his chambers."
I turned the phone off and left it on the purple chair I sat on and followed him. "How is he?"
"Why do you care? I only saved him because my deal with Sebastian says he dies in three days." The black butler leaned close to me, eyeing me up like I was dinner. "He only wants to tell you information. He doesn't care about you."
"Shut up, Claude." I said, pushing past him. "I don't care if Alois treats me like Hannah. I don't care if he blinds me out of rage. I just need to get him away from you and Ciel and everyone else in this messed up world. Now lead me to Master Alois, demon."
If Claude was surprised, he didn't show it. "Do not order me around, child. That is Master's job. Your job is to die as soon as possible."
He got in front of me, and led me down the hall to Alois's bedroom. He opened the double doors dramatically, at which Alois (who was in his nightdress thing again with a cast around his left hand and sitting upright in his bed) clapped and cheered.
"Good entrance, Claude my friend! Nichole! Look!" He raised his bandaged hand and smiled at me. "Claude got the poison out of me! You can leave now Claude, we'll only be a bit."
As the butler left, I went and sat on the edge of his pink bed. "So, you feel better? I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm your servant, and it's awful I couldn't help you. I'm a bad maid."
Alois rolled his eyes and chuckled in that weird feminine way he always did. "I'm not mad at you! Trust me, this was a FUN day! I haven't had one in an awhile. The only bad thing was that I killed that poor spider after it bit me." "
Claude had told Alois to never kill spiders, being a spider demon and stuff. That Black Widow spider could've been Claude's ex girlfriend for all we know. Serves her right, dating a creep like him.
"Anyway, that's not why I called you here."
Getting up and jumping happily, Alois made his way to his closet. It looked like something you'd see on Project Runway. He walked into it (yeah, it was that big) and looked through his clothes as he spoke.
"So, in two days, I'm hosting a costume ball at the mansion. It will be so exciting! However, being my servant, I'm afraid that-"
"I can't come and have to stay in my room the entire time?" I said, interrupting him and following him into his walk-in Barbie closet. I saw this episode. Episode 5-6 of season 2. One of my favorites.
Alois finally found what he was looking for and brought it out for me to see. It was his Vampire costume. It was purple, like his coat, only it looked more like a dress. There was fur around the neck and bottom, and silver buttons lined the side. On the back, two giant red wings spread out; giving the appearance he was really a vampire.
A hat with bat wings on the side came with it too. Pants that were the same color as the rest of the costume came with it too. High heeled black shoes that looked like they were exactly 90 degrees up accompanied the outfit too. The only problem with the costume was that he wouldn't look like the vampires that star in that Twilight movie for desperate girls and really disturbing lonely mothers (aka my mom's friends) in it.
"I didn't say that." Alois said, putting the vampire hat on. "What I was starting to say was that for the first hour I need you to stay in your room. I have important company coming, and I just need you to not be there. Its fancy noble business anyway, you'd be bored."
"That's fine. Whatever you say, Master." I guess he didn't want me to see him dressed as a girl and flirt with Ciel. It would ruin his already non-existent pride.
"Thanks."Alois said happily as he put his costume back in his closet. "One more thing. Tomorrow, you and I are going dress shopping."
I don't remember this in the show. "What?"
"For you I mean." He said, clearing what he had just said. "My maid can't be presentable to the public with no proper ball attire. So you and me are going to town and finding a ball gown for you. My servants affect other noble's idea about me, and if they look bad, then they'll think badly of me."
Great, dresses. "Um, okay. But just saying, I won't look good in those poofy things."
"Well, I know someone who can turn even you-" he gestured at the all of me, smirking his signature smile, "-into a goddess! All you have to serve drinks and smile. I'll be walking around too, socializing." Alois stared at me, squinting. "One last thing. You will NOT I repeat, NOT talk to Ciel Phantomhive."
"Why? He's the maker of Funtom Toys and Candy right? What's so bad about him?"
Alois recalled like I'd just said something repulsive to him. "What's so bad about him? Ciel is one of my main enemies of the business world. I only invited him so he could get a false sense of security."
Or you wanted to capture him so that that stupid Claude would love you. Open your eyes Alois; I can love you much more than Claude.
"Oh. Okay, I'll try to stay away from him." I better tell Maddie that I'm not allowed to talk to Ciel and tell him "hi" for her. Or I could just say I couldn't…yeah, that's better. Maybe she won't hurt me if I say that.
"Thanks!" he said, and walked over to me, about to hug me. However, it seemed like he decided against it last second.
"You're welcome I guess. But I have one question." Other than what exactly Alois's company sold. I would ask him that later.
Alois and stared down at me. (I still can't get over his height. He's bigger than my mother and probably my father.) He titled his head. "What? About the job or something? I will tell you more tomorrow, while we out searching for your dress."
"No. I was actually just wondering if I could get a bath. I feel filthy."
