Demons, Reapers, Angels Oh My!

Chapter 16

I was suddenly woken up by a small tongue licking my nose. I yawned and looked up seeing Sebastian smiling at me. He held the small kitten close to him along with me. I admired his adoration for cats. It was rather cute. I meekly asked, "Have you figured out a name for her yet?"

"Mirage." He smiled.

That's perfect! "I love it."

I realized what day it was and I quickly got out of bed and started getting ready for the day. I decided I was going to wear my usual black trousers, ballet flats and a white shirt with a black vest.

I looked in the mirror and put my long brown hair in a loose braid and walked over to Sebastian who was still playing with the kittens paws. I smiled and said, "We will have to take her to your living quarters for the day."

~ Sebastian's room ~

His room was bigger than the other servants rooms which was to be expected since he is the head servant. In his room he has a bed, a desk and a closet. His bed was by the wall which had a window running along the top of the wall.

I walked over to his closet and opened it. Inside were a bunch of his clothes; tailcoats, shirts, pants and shoes. I found a spot in the closet where I could put Mirage's bungalow, her food and water, and her toys. I set the kitten down inside and left the door open so she could explore the room if she wanted.

I looked back over at Sebastian who was just smiling at me. I knew he was really happy about his gift and I was happy for that. I glanced at the window noticing it was going to be a rainy day. I sighed, another gloomy day.

I felt a shiver run through my spine as I just realized how cold it was. I looked into the closet one more time to make sure the kitten would be alright and a idea popped into my head. "Sebastian?"

He walked over to my side, "Yes, my lady?"

I averted my eyes from him and meekly asked, "Do you think it would be okay if I borrowed one of your tailcoats? It's a bit chilly and I don't want to catch a cold..." I felt awkward asking this and looked away. I suddenly felt him wrap something warm around me. His jacket.

He knelt in front of me with his hand in front of his heart. "Yes my lady."

I smiled. "Thank you."

~ Later that day ~

It was getting close to the time of the party. Everything was set up and all we were waiting on was the guests to arrive.

I sat in the foyer by the door waiting. Then one by one our guests showed up. First came Elizabeth and her hand maid Paula, then prince Soma and Agni, Nick, Selena, Grell and undertaker. I greeted them all and walked them into the ballroom and told them to wait. My brother and the rest of the servants were inside waiting as well. I told them to get ready as I went to go find Sebastian.

I had found him in one of the many hallways dusting. I stopped as I watched his swift movements, but I decided to interrupt him by walking up behind him and hugging him from behind. I rested my head on his back as he stopped moving.

"Hey come with me. I have something to show you." I grabbed his hand and walked back to the ballroom. As we reached the doors, I opened them to a dark room which was immediately lit up upon our entrance.

"SURPRISE!!!" Everyone yelled.

Sebastian was caught off guard, but did his closed eye smile, "What's this? A surprise party for me? Thank you everyone."

"You can thank Alice because it was her idea. You have been in our service for a few years now and we wanted to celebrate and say thank you." Ciel stepped forward.
