Silent But Deadly [Black Butler] (Under Editing)

Chapt. 40 ~ A Demon's Scheme

"My Master... My Mate... Both taken from me..." Sebastian muttered under his breath. He was yards away from the Trancy Estate with his mind lingering on the thought both possessions are gone. 'What has he done to you?... Has he tainted you? Claimed you as his own already?' His thoughts began to spiral to the worse. He already made a mess of the trees and statues nearby.

"Huh?" Mute stepped forward toward where Sebastian was, causing the demon to turn around. His eyes widened when seeing the hickeys and bruises on her neck that trailed down to her visible collarbone. 'What is he doing here?' She wondered.

"My Lady," Sebastian was already standing in front of Mute. He could see more of the bruises now getting a closer look. Inside his blood boiled. Mute frowned when feeling the intense aura coming from Sebastian. Her eyes squinted shut as her mind replayed the nights with Claude.

"I won't leave any trace of you unmarked~" She remembered his last words from their last encounter. Mute shook her head before sighing to herself. How many nights has it been when Claude was touching her? How many days had gone by as Claude was kissing, scratching, and biting her body? Even Mute lost count of the hours for how long the 'sessions' went on for. Each touch was poisonous and left a vile stain on her. 

Mute looked down and saw Sebastian's shadow enhancing, manifesting into something horrid. He was angry. "Sebastian-" She was cut off from his sudden embrace. His hand cupped the back of her head as the other wrapped around her waist, and his face was nuzzled deeply into her neck. She felt his lips graze over the hickey, but Sebastian stopped himself from making a hickey of his own. He knew better than to act out when seeing her in a tired and exhausted state.

At first, she was surprised by his quick movements before melting into his embrace. Mute closed her eyes and leaned further into his embrace as she wrapped her arms around his waist, clinging onto his vest to prevent the tears burning in the back of her eyes. Sebastian could smell Claude's scent all over Mute, causing a growl to escape his throat. Hearing this, Mute tried to pull herself away thinking she was the one he was mad at. But Sebastian kept his grip firm and vice on her. 

He could see the other bruising and scratch marks down her back. 'How much has he done to her?' He could only think with rage. Mute finally pulled away and frowned up at him when seeing his demonic eyes staring down at the bruising. "What means do you have to be out here?" He questioned. 

"Hannah has allowed me to wonder around and outside of the Estate while Claude attends to Ciel... She will not see me from up here. I told her to give me my space." After nearly killing her with her shadows by having them wrap around her body tightly to the point her body could pop like a balloon. Before wandering away from the Estate, Mute made it clear she wanted to be left alone by attacking Hannah ruthlessly in order to send the message. 

"And here you allowed him to do whatever he likes to you. As if you were his... Why?..." His voice was now dark with a hint of a glare hiding behind his demonic eyes. 

"Because I have what I came for..." Mute held up her right hand to reveal Alois's ring on her middle finger. "Giving me the boy's soul in exchange for being his mate... He told me he would leave your Master out of his plans as long as I had Aloi's soul, but it was a lose/lose situation I got myself caught up in. I was the one who left myself wide open and for Claude to do whatever he liked without even thinking for a way out. I got caught up with my own responsibilities and messed up everything..." Mute hung her head in defeat while informing Sebastian the outcome. "He's kept himself busy during the day with Ciel and does whatever he likes with me during the night. The most he has done was leave marks. He says....he leaves the fun part for a special occasion..." She bites her lips from the amount of anxiety that brings her. 'And I have no idea when that 'special occasion' will be? Night's I've stayed up wonder when he'll take me. But instead, he teases me and keeps me on edge as if he wants me to stay in fear before he-' Mute gasps and shakes head at the thought.
