"Ciel Phantomhive!" Alois called, marching up the long stairs before you.

"Alois Trancy," Ciel sneered. "A pleasure as always." He smirked sarcastically. "Sebastian, please prepare tea for my guest and me."

"Of course, My Lord." Sebastian nodded. A false smile played upon his lips.

"Oh Claude, why not assist Sebastian?"

"Yes, your highness." He bowed, flashing you a small nod. You kept your eyes fixed on your hands, nervously clutching your skirts.

"[Y/N], Please go attend to making the biscuits, as our butlers prepare tea."

"Yes, Sir." You squeaked running off towards the kitchen.

Oh God! I have to warn Claude that Sebastian's a demon! What if he tries to steal his soul? Oh God! What am I going to do. You internally screamed. You grasped the door knob, listening to their footsteps.

"And how did she react when you told her?" Silence. "Oh," Sebastian let out a small laugh. "I see, you didn't. And how long do you plan on keeping that from her?"

"Who said she had to know?"

"So, you're just going to keep it a secret forever? You don't think she'll suspect anything when you don't-"

"I could always turn her into one!" Claude growled back, Sebastian laughed.

"And you actually would consider putting her through this? Forcing her to live in secrecy and never being able to have a normal life?!"

"No. Of course not. I just.... I'm just, currently, stuck between a rock and a hard place."

You took a few seconds to try and process what they had said, but you couldn't make any sense of it. What did it mean?! You pulled the door open, avoiding eye contact with both men. You proceeded to grab the flour from the cupboard, trying to act like the two butlers hovering over you weren't causing you any anxiety. "Here." You handed a small basket of bread to Sebastian who placed it on the large tea tray before exiting the room.

"[Y/N], are you angry with me?" Claude asked nervously. Your eyes locked with his and you felt the familiar spark run through your veins.

"No." You glanced over at the door which happened to be closed. "Follow me." You whispered, grabbing his hand running up the stairs. Your feet scraped against the red carpet, skidding down the right, avoiding the study. You pulled Claude into the shadowy corridor as Sebastian existed the study, grabbing the handle to the lavish library.

"[Y/N], what's wrong? Why did you bring me here?" You shoved him into the room, shutting the door behind you.

"Sebastian's a demon!"

"What?" Claude's face was of sheer shock.

"He's a demon, Claude! I know it sounds absurd but it's true!"

"I know."
