Sebastian POV
I'm still wracking my brain about how I'm going to get out of this situation with Claude. At this point I just want to kill him and deal with the consequences later. I was thinking of ways to manipulate Claude, perhaps using his lover. Claude seems pretty attach to her whether he was willing to admit it or not. He was so pathetic falling for a human, being a fool. It will only lead to his down fall. Especially with such a weak human like Paula. No disrespect to Ms. Paula, but she is a little too open. But seeing as Claude was a weak spineless bastard, I suppose it was a match made in heaven. I hear three small quiet knocks at my door. Lord help me if it's Claude, the Midford manor will come to flames tonight. "Come in." I said ever so politely. The door opened revealing Paula. Now what could she want at this hour.
"Good morning Sebastian. I hope I'm not interrupting you." She said shyly, entering the room. "Of course not, how may I help you?" I asked, with a wide smile. Paula smelled of Claude inside and out. How disgusting. The image of them having sex bothered me greatly. Oh Paula you could do so much better. If you're attracted to demons, I can find you much "bigger" ones. "I must ask you of Claude and your real identities. Who are you really and is Ciel really in danger?!" Paula blurted out staring me in the eyes. This was a surprising turn of events. I had to think of what to tell Paula, or should I just wipe her mind. I had to access what she knew first. Also to see whether or not she knew anything that could benefit me and my master.
"What are you talking about Paula? I am Sebastian Michaelis and Claude Faustus is Claude Faustus. We are exactly who we appear to be." I said. "No! I heard you at the hospital. You and Claude hate each other and you were talking of spells, magic, and death. I want to know what's going on. Please don't lie to me Sebastian." She said tears in her throat. "Alright Paula I will tell you the truth." I said slowly, I got up from the chair I was in. I took Paula by the shoulders and stared intently into her eyes. "But you mustn't tell a soul. A lot of lives are at stake." I said in an eerie and dramatic voice. "Okay, I promise." Paula said. "Claude is a demon, and I am a demon hunter." I said. Paula was trying to make sense of what I just said to her. Then she spoke slowly "A dd..de..demon? What do you mean?!" Paula said.
"I know this is difficult to understand, but try and listen carefully. Claude is a vicious murderous creature who has set his sights on devouring Ciel's soul. The queen appointed me to watch over Ciel to make sure he was safe, so I really am his faithfully butler. I just also have a side job of killing the creatures that roam the street at night trying to take countless lives. That is when I came across Claude. Claude is a rather special case, for he has made a contract with Alois. Thats what his type of demon does. Looks for weak and vulnerable humans, such as children and depressed broken individuals. So getting rid of Claude has been difficult because he is tied to Alois's soul and I'm trying to keep from harming Alois. In my last attempt to rid Alois of Claude, he used demon magic to lock up Ciel's soul. Which he is using to put me in a tough situation. Do you understand?" I said.
I do believe that was the most elaborate story I've told in quite a while. Ruining everything Paula thought of Claude was just icing on the cake. Speaking of Paula she began to cry hard. Sobs wracking her little fragile body. As I held her in my arms, I could feel the pain she was feeling. She must have really thought that Claude was in love with her. Poor girl. I embraced her to ease he internally suffering then after five minutes. She looked up at me and asked me this, "This may be foolish for me to ask, but...do you think it's possible that he could become good? Perhaps he wants to change his actions." She said still crying profusely. "Well sweetheart while I doubt that with all my being, he has acted rather strange with you. I'm surprised that he hasn't tried to harm you yet, has he?" I said. This woman could have been a very good servant in hell. Her loyalty knows no end. I have just told her the man she just slept with is a demonic soul eating monster. But yet she "believes" she can find the good in him.
"No! He's always been loving, sweet, and gentle to me. I can barely even believe what you are saying to me. I believe you, but it's so unreal." Paula said. "Listen I understand you have developed very strong feelings for him, and I'm sorry he tricked you. But you must be strong, we can take him down together. Then if it is possible you and him can work out whatever you have together. Although I believe he will only hurt you." I said. Suddenly Paula raised her head from my chest and composed herself. "I will help you Sebastian, I want Ciel to be safe. I don't want Claude to hurt anyone, but I believe that he loves me and wants to be with me. So someway, somehow, even though Claude must be punished, we will be happy together." Paula said. I will admit for the first time I saw Paula in a whole new way.
Claude POV
Sebastian is really something else. He thinks telling Paula all of this will really phase me. He really amuses me. Paula is not going anywhere, I'm quite sure of that. Whether Sebastian tells the whole world my true identity. That won't change a dam thing. I will still get what I want and he will die by my hands. He must forget that I still have complete control over his precious master's life. Does think I won't kill Ciel, because Paula? He must be delusional. I do as I please. No one has any power over me, especially not a human. I believe I need to put Paula in her place as well. She and Sebastian both need to know who holds all the power. And that is I, Claude Faustus.
