Ever since that day of Sebastian committed me with his words of protection, he's been checking up on me every hour. I'm not sure if I like it or not… it felt unusual because that isn't like him to do.
"Sebastian, get the manor ready, the queen's butler is coming to visit us." I heard Ciel said, making my heart leaped, happy to see Ash again. I held back a squealed as I quickly ran to my room, getting myself freshened up for his coming.
I was changing out of my old dirty maid uniform to a new clean uniform, but in the process of doing that, I noticed a visible bump appearing. I rubbed over that bump. I'm not sure how fast this baby will grow since it isn't human...like it is, but only half human. I quickly put on my uniform so I wouldn't be late when Ash comes here. "Come on, Elena, Ash is coming and you need to talk to him." I smiled, thinking about whatever we can do. I hopped out of them room in excitement. I couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you so smiley today?" Sebastian ruined my mood already as he spoke to me. I'm dreading now.
"Because," I whipped around to face Sebastian. "I get to see Ash. Who treats me better than you." I smiled up at him.
"You emphasized a lot of words…" he nodded to himself. "Yes, he can treat you better than me, but you don't know that twisted dark angel like me. He will purify the world and destroy mankind-" I cut him off.
"You mean like you? Don't you destroy mankind by forming a contract on suffering kids and then eat their souls at the end?" I snapped back at him as his expression was surprised, then turned back into a calm expression, holding down his rising irritation.
"You know I love you and care for you, Elena. Don't be so mean, or else the baby will hurt you again." I heard the slight irritation in his voice. Oh no...he's hurt.
"You pained me right the start. How can I forgive you? It's kind of hard to." I walked away from him.
When it came to Ash's arrival, I was the one to greet him with a bright happy smile that I could never give to Sebastian. "Hi, Ash!" I waved at him as he gave me a gentle smile on his face.
"Elena, we have some business to take care of. Can you do the garden since our gardener is out today?" Ciel looked over at me.
"Yeah, sure." I nodded, walking outside to the backyard.
I was picking up weed from the ground that was surrounding the grown flowers. I wiped the sweat that was trickling down the forehead with my arms that weren't covered in dirt. "Getting myself dirty after I got myself a new clean uniform…" I grumbled.
"Thought you might need some water," I heard a voice behind me and I turned around. There stood Ash with his gentleman smile.
"Aww thanks Ash." I took of the garden gloves and stood up, wiping dirt off from my skirt and taking the glass water out from his gloved hands.
"If you're tired, then I could do it for you." I choked on my water from hearing that.
"Noooooo, Sebastian would kill me if he saw you doing my work. I can't let you do that for me. You're too kind." I refused his offered.
"A pregnant lady like you shouldn't do hard labor. It would hurt you. I should be disappointed in Sebastian and Master Ciel for making you do this. You should come work in the castle with me." He showed off his charming smile. "I, for sure won't let you do hard labor to harm your condition." My eyes lightened from his statement.
"I'm sorry," an arm wrapped around my shoulders and pulled me in. "She has to stay with the father of the child. It's low of you to get on to her like that. Yes, it was my young master mistake to put her to that duty, but I'll take care of it. Mustn't you leave now? It's time for you to go. I bid you farewell." Sebastian waved at Ash leaving.
I turned around to face him. "Why are you doing this to me?! I wanted to talk to him!" I retorted in anger.
"He's not a good person, Elena! I'm telling you this for your own safety. You're going to get hurt or even killed by him at least. I won't harm you because you're carrying my child."
"But you did in the beginning!" I reminded him on the first day that I found him and he was going to kill me for coming for him. "Leave me alone!" I pushed him away from me, before stomping off inside my room to cool down. But I stopped midway in the hallway. "Crap, I share room with Sebastian!" I totally forgot about that fact, so I made a U-turn to turn back around, but then I ended up crashing into someone's chest.
"Oi, what where you're going Elena, you could've gotten yourself hurt." I heard Sebastian scolded me.
"Well, it's not my fault that you were also walking this way!" I retorted, moving myself away from him so the space between us was far.
"At least I was conscious when I was walking unlike you, who was daydreaming about your Prince Charming Ash to come. But you know you can't leave since if you do, the baby will harm you like last time. I know you wouldn't want that. You want this baby that's why you found me to lure me in to get you into this trap of hell." He remarked, causing me to boil in frustration.
"Why are you so confusing?! One day you care, the next you're cold and mean to me. What's up with you?! Maybe I should quit this job to work with Ash! I don't care if the baby kills me because it was you who spilled the seed…! Why should I be with the father of my child if he doesn't even want me…? He tried to kill me because I bared the child..!" I hissed at him, shooting out my anger towards him. Running away is my only option even if it means I'll be dead by this demon baby. I forced my legs to run out of the manor. I'm never coming back to face him or the manor again. I don't even want to hear the name of the household or the butler.
Sebastian POV:
She spat all her rage at me as her cold eyes stared angrily at me… I didn't do anything to stop her. It's hard to love someone that you have no affection for because it's useless. I just can't seem to open up to her.
I'll let her go to figure out the hard way when she's with Ash. She doesn't need me or my help. I won't be there when she really wants me because I'm the only one who can save her from that misery of Ash, but it's not my time yet.
