"SEBASTIAN!" I screamed loudly in fear as my heart was pounding rapidly. My breathing was getting heavy as I fear what to come. My thumping heart might explode out from my chest. "SEBASTIANNNN!" I scream once more before getting trapped at the corner of the room inside the manor. This is even worse since I have no escape. My eyes were ready to pour out these tears swelling in my eyes.

"Don't worry, darling, it'll be painless though you're not on the list!" The red man was a maniac! He's holding a chainsaw right in front of my eyes.

"I DID NOTHING WRONG!" I protested, not understanding why this is happening to me.

The door suddenly opened with a BAM, slamming hard against the wall, scraping off the little pastel paint that coated it. "Grell!" A sterner yet hot voice roared in the room, making us stop in our tracks as we saw Sebastian and stared for a good moment.

'Now it's my chance!' I rapidly ran over to Sebastian, clinging onto him tightly since the redhead was occupied by the handsome Sebastian. I was too scared to let go of him since that fearful encounter of the man named 'Grell'. Sebastian secured his arms around me, pulling me behind him.

"You're safe with me." He looked back at me with a gentle face, comforting me. I felt happy now since he came for my rescue even though it took him a while to come. "Grell," his voice changed drastically since he was angered by him. "You will not crash into the manor and threaten my wife with a chainsaw!"

"When were you married, Sebastian?" Grell twirled his weapon in his hand, looking unpleasant with the info of Sebastian saying he's 'married'.

"Ever since she carried our child." I couldn't help but smile as I hear things coming out from Sebastian's mouth. It's a sweet melody ringing in my ears, making me tighten my arms around him even more.

"What about us?!"

"There was no 'us' right from the start. There was never an 'us'. Leave the manor." He demanded with his posture tall and high. Grell did not move one bit. Sebastian exasperated then turned around to face me, "Let's go." He pushed me out first, closing the door behind him. If he wasn't going to leave, then we will leave.

"Who was that, Sebastian?" He still held me from behind, arms wrapped around my shoulders, head on top of my head.

"He," he jaw moved on top of my head as he spoke, "Is a grim reaper. You already know what that is. They usually have a list of souls they need to retrieve when a person dies. But I don't know how he found you…" He grumbled, taking me to my room.

"He's crazy…" I sat at the edge of my bed. "He tried to say that I'm stealing his man away from him. Like I was telling him that who is his man? But he wasn't giving it out like okay then, don't come taking out your chainsaw if you won't give me a damn answer of who it is?!" I exclaimed, already irritated by thinking of it. I loosened my body as I fell to the side as the cushion of the bed sunk in from my body.

"Elena," his hand smoothed over my side of my body, rubbing up and down as he sighed, coming down to lay next to me. "My little luv… How are you doing? Is the baby doing any change to your body?" We faced each other as he laid down with me on our sides.

He always made my heart race now that we are closer than before, or I thought. "I'm doing fine." I chuckled, rolling towards him and he embraced me from behind. "I feel no change in my body, but for my hunger, yes." I wasn't sure if my body is supposed to feel change.

"You know, you smell even better than before," He said out of nowhere.

"What?"

"What I mean is that you're producing more estrogen in your body, and I can smell it since you're carrying our child. It is very appealing and strong to the nose, not in a harmful way, but a good way. I fear for the worse for you, my dear." He whispered in my ear, then giving me light kisses on the neck.

"Why'd you say that?" I didn't understand what he meant that he feared for the worse for me. "Is me having the-" he cut me off.

"No, no, no. It's just that you might attract more demons to you and they would want to kill you because of the strong scent that you're giving off involuntarily. They're not going to be controlled by the smell and lose their mind, they're just going to eat you because you're food to them." Everything he said, he made my heart stop every second. "Your heart is racing."

I gulped the thick saliva in my throat. "So are you…?" The thoughts were already getting to me.

"Elena," he turned us over that he's on top of me, trapping me in his arms and body. "Don't you think I'm going to hurt you, because I'm not! I know the consequences right from the start…! You might not believe what I say but, that is why when you chased after me and were so persistent on staying, I wanted to kill you because you would get yourself killed if you left this manor to go back home. But then the young master told me to keep you, and it was my responsibility to watch over you until the day of the baby comes. Then later, you went off running with Ash-"

I didn't want to hear anymore of his explanation. "Okay, okay. You can stop. I understand what circumstances I'm in right now. I'm going to be hunted and killed if you're not by my side. I am still your responsibility no matter what because I am not a demon with supernatural abilities like you. I'm that damsel in distress. If you want me to stay in the manor, then I will...or follow you around, or just anything." I moved my hands up to cup his face into my small bare hands and smiled. "I understand my situation, but you should've told me sooner." The smile turned bitter as I knew we weren't really in love at the heart. There was some blockage between us, and I wished that he didn't have to keep on kissing me to please me.

"What's wrong? You're expression is gloomy." I removed my hands away from his face and sat up in bed as he moved aside to give me some space.

I forced a smile upon my storming feelings inside of me. "Please don't fake anything between us. Don't force yourself to love me, kiss me, hold me, or anything else if you don't want it. There's a wall between us, Sebastian. If it was your responsibility to protect me, then you should've told me...but you didn't. We don't fully trust each other, do we?" Sadden from what I said to him, I got up from the bed and walked out of the room to leave him be.

'I will always care for him, but we need time to understand each other as we live in the manor. Only time can tell if our relationship and trust improves for him to love me.' I stared at the window with the bright blue sky as the birds fly around together.

Something caught my ears, "Oh, Ciel, where shall I and Claude live in your manor?" I turned around to see Ciel walking with two people at the corner, a blonde and….Claude…!
