You wake up in the warmth of the bed, you look over your shoulder to see that your lady has left. You look at the nearby clock, 7:30 am, it read, you pull the sheets of and get dressed in your normal butler outfit, before you put your pants on you look at your left leg, and lord and behold, there was a small burn mark like the journal said, you never really noticed that scar, only the more obvious ones like the ones on your back.
You put your pants on and leave the room, heading to the kitchen where you meet K and Mary. Now you haven't seen these two in a while. They run up to greet you, having not seen or interacting with you in the past few weeks.
"Oh my gosh, Y/N! At this point I kinda assumed you were dead. We haven't seen you in weeks." Mary said
"No worries, as you can see I'm alive and well." you spread your arms in a mocking way
"Now onto the real talk." K said leaning on the kitchen counter
"There are some rumors, and I want you to conform or deny them."
"Fire away."
You would soon regret that decision.
"There's a rumor saying that you screw the Dimitrescu daughters, that's why you aren't dead yet, and why they like you so much."
You stare at her dumbfounded
"Fuck no K. Who the actual fuck said that one. No I'm not fucking the daughters." you rubbed the bridge of your nose, the thought of screwing the daughters made you want to throw up.
"Next one is that there's a man in the castle, but he was given a guest room and hasn't been killed." this time Mary spoke
"Well... yes that's true, but it's only temporary, very temporary." you sigh
Mary gave you a look before asking the next question
"There's a rumor that you and the Mistress are a thing." she places a hand over her mouth, trying to hide a snicker
You turn away as you realize that you were blushing, hard.
"W-well not officially." you stutter out
Mary squeals and you turn your face away and cross your arms, your cheeks a deep red on your carmel brown skin.
"What happened?" Mary asked
"We confessed, but I have yet to ask her." you sigh
You look over and you spot K, she had been awfully quiet after you told her about Alcina and you.
"I have to go." K muttered before leaving the kitchen, as she walked past you you caught a whiff of her scent. Vanilla, roses, and anger and sadness?
You looked at Mary and she just shrugged her shoulders before preparing breakfast, you soon joined her.
~Time Skip~
After Alcina and her daughters had sat down for breakfast you took a plate to Ethan's room, he didn't want to join them at the table, and honestly, you couldn't blame him. You reach his room and take a deep breath, the smell of cologne, mold, and what you can only describe as the smell of outside, hits you, that was definitely Ethan's smell. You knock on the door.
"Who is it?" he called
"It's just me."
"Oh, come in."
You open the door and walk in. Ethan was taking and cleaning a disassembled gun at his desk. You place the plate of food next to him. He eyes it skeptically.
"I cooked it, there's no poison or blood, or human remains." you give his a sarcastic look
He glares at you before placing the gun aside and eating. You leave the room and make your way down to the instrument hall, then a strange smell hits you. It smelled of what you can only describe as a bird, specifically a crow. You hear the sound of wings behind you, you turn to see Mother Miranda standing behind you. She gives you a chilling smile that froze your body, your heart and mind going a thousand miles per hour.
"Aww." she purred, her voice soft
"Is the little puppy scared." she chuckled
"Don't worry I'll take good care of you."
You start to flee. You ran down the halls before an unseen force pulled your legs making you trip. As you fell to the ground Miranda slowly approached you. You let out a blood curdling scream before she leaped at you, a flurry of feathers and shadows surrounded you before it all turned dark.
Ethan's POV:
Shortly after Y/N brought you your food, you heard only what could be described as a blood curdling scream. Now it could have been one of those witches killing a maid, but it didn't explain why there was a scream right after Y/N brought you your food. You leaped out of your chair and into a dead sprint to the sound. When you got there you could see that bird bitch standing over an unconscious Y/N, you were at the end of the hallway, you could see at the other end where the three witch daughters, Y/N and Miranda were in the middle. You and the daughters start to charge at Miranda, but you were all too slow, you collide with the swarm of bugs, falling face first to the floor.
You look at where Y/N was and begin to pound your fist to the ground. That little squirt may have rated you out once, but she didn't deserve to be in the clutches of Miranda. A hand was extended to you, you looked up to see one of the daughters, the blondie, you accept the hand, to be honest if you were going to live with them, you might as well get used to them.
You look at the girls, the blondie that helped you up showed no emotion, the black haired one looked angry, but was on the verge of tears, the red head was in tears.
"We need to tell your mother." you say
And luckily they just nodded their heads. You all make your way to the tall ass lady's room where she was stealing in her chair, smoking. You could see why Y/N loved this lady, if she wasn't a mutant freak, 9 feet tall, and you were single, then maybe. The lady glared at you, her golden yellow eyes piercing into you. Her daughters were near you, they didn't want to tell her, so it looked like it was up to you.
"What is this man-thing doing here?" she sneered
"It's Y/N." you say
"What about her?" you could see the worry on her face as she stood from her chair, standing at her full height.
"That bitch Miranda took her, we tried to get Y/N, but we were too slow." you muttered
You could see her face went from worry to sadness, then finally rage. One of the daughtered dragged you out of the room and shut the door behind you. Before you questioned them, you all heard a crash and an agonizing scream, although you hated these creatures, it reminded you of how you felt when you first thought you lost Mia, it broke your heart. The daughters soon left and so did you, you went into the kitchen before flagging down a maid.
"Get me the phone numbers of Lord Heisenberg and Lady Beneviento."
The maid nods and quickly gives you the numbers. You tell them both and tell them what happened, telling them to get here quickly before hanging up. You had to act quickly, Y/N didn't have to die at the hands of that bitch, you went into the main hall and waited for their arrival along with the three girls.
