Despite Death and Sorrow

Chapter 2: Punishment

Lucy: WHY YOU NO UPDATE LAST WEEK?!?!?

Me: AHH IM SARRY!!! I just had a loy of shit on my hands; emotional sadness, physical sadness, exhaustion, I just didn't feel like writing and I apologize dearly! That was a really shutting move and I shouldn't have been so selfish. Now! Enough with life lessons; let us begiiinnnn!

(Sebastian's P.O.V)

   I shuddered as I pulled on my tie, already late to my Young Lord's commands. I couldn't stay awake and fell asleep half way through the night. Resulting in waking up at a late hour.

   This did not please my Lord. And not pleasing the Lord led to terrible consequences. Preparing for the worst, I took a deep breath and exited the room, walking to my Young Master's study.

   Gently knocking three times, I shortly entered the room, bowing my head. "Forgive me, my Lord," I apologized. "I awo--" I jumped slightly as Ciel slammed a fist down on his desk. "Why were you late?!" He nearly shouted.

   "W-Well my Lord, I was about to explain it to you when you interrupted me--" "How dare you, talk back to your master like that?!" The boy roared. Flinching at the harshness of his words, I responded quickly. "A-A thousand apologies, Master."

   The boy suddenly stood. "I've had enough of your blabbering, insolent slave," he said irritatedly, approaching me. I kept my gaze lowered. Maybe he won't punish me? Maybe I'll just get a stern warning? Of course these were all just hopeless fantasies that would never come true.

   My love grabbed my tie, yanking me down to face him harshly as a wicked smirk faded onto his lips. "Punishment time," he sang hysterically. My crimson eyes widened as he began to drag me down to the living room. "M-My Lord, please," I begged. "I-I'm begging you; please do not do this. I-I will do better I promise!"

   This was useless and he threw me to the ground. "Kneel!" He shouted and I shakily obeyed his command, feeling shortly after a sharp whip come down on my back. I quickly shut my tear filled eyes, the punishment not only heart aching but traumatizing.

   This did nothing but remind me of my childhood; a small boy wanting nothing but to please his father. Yet effort after effort proved futile until the father had enough of his idiotic child and decided to punish him.

Day after day the whip would come down.

Day after day the father would yell at the boy to stop crying.

Day after day the mother just ignored the screams and did nothing to help.

Day after day the boy smiled crookedly, happy that this punishment could please his father.

Day after day I hated my life.

Me: ;-;

Lucy: Why. The hell. Do you. Do this. To me.
