Silent But Deadly [Black Butler] (Under Editing)

Chapt. 22 ~ What Would You Know?

Days had passed since the incident with the angel, Ash, at the church, and the conversation with Undertaker and Miko. Mute had yet to return to Sebastian, and to her surprise, Sebastian hadn't come looking for her yet. It was almost odd to Mute because she is use to Sebastian chasing her like the prey she is to him. But, she was being taken good care of by her dear friend, Miko.  

During this time, Mute couldn't get her encounter with Ash. What he did to her and what he made her remember. 'A living nightmare...' Mute hissed in her head as she closed her eyes.

"Dwelling through your thoughts? You know you can always talk them out with me. We're friends, aren't we?" Miko sat beside Mute while sitting down a cup of tea on the coffee table. "Or are you thinking about returning to your mate?~"

 

"As if." Mute communicated telepathically with a blank stare.

 

"Hahaha!"

 

"Don't you have to go out and meet with somebody today or something?"

"Not today. I did everything I needed to do while you were away. So I have plenty of time on my hands."

 

"Lucky you." Mute said sarcastically.

"Are you going to go see him again? It has been a few weeks since then." 

"....I don't know." Mute shrugged her shoulders. 

"He hasn't been that worried for you if he hasn't come looking for you yet. But then again, he is with a child so it makes sense that he cannot leave his position. Like a dog on a leash." 

'That's exactly what he is.' Mute stated. She went back to dozing off into space. Should she go back to see her destined mate? 'Why has it been...lonely? Do I really miss him?' But she didn't have much of choice. Sooner or later, Sebastian was going to find her again. "It'll be tiring." Mute thought out loud. 

"What?" Miko looked at Mute. 

"Nothing." With that, she left in a misty exit. But she didn't return back to the mansion. She went to take a stroll in the city since nighttime was approaching. As she always did, she went to a random rooftop and stared down at the humans below until the night had arrived. 'It's not the same... Why did I have to run into him out of all people?' She sighed.

Before suddenly being tied to a demon to be the destined mate, Mute was a trapped but still free woman. She just never learned how to let the past go. A lot can take a toll on a person, and their mental health. During the time she has spent with Sebastian, there hasn't been a moment where she didn't feel safe. Through and through all Sebastian has done is try and keep Mute safe. Yet there are still some miscommunications along the way.

 

"They're carving my name in the grave again
The flowers are fresh, and their faces wet
My body has died, but I'm still alive
Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead"
