He is the reaper of souls...
He is my moving shadow.
He is the darkness swelling inside me.
He is my black soul.
But he will save me.

Episode 31 - Dark Smile
"Do you sense anything?" I asked Sebastian as we walked around the manor together.
"I do not, young master," he answered, staying close by my side. "It seems as if the demonic guard has not left his post."
We both gave Edward a cautious glance before continuing into the crowd.
"This unsettles me," I said, voice low. "What is he planning to do with all these people?"
"My main guess is that the father is behind this," Sebastian stated honestly. "So my direct assumption is that all these people are his next creatures."
I just sighed, something cold consuming me. "His victims are mainly women... which doesn't connect well, does it?"
"It could be a personal preference," Sebastian said then. "He could be a killer and also be working for 'the father'."
"I hate to praise you, but perhaps you are right," I said then, thinking this thoroughly. "Which is nothing new, really."
A small smile formed on his lips.
"Don't get cocky," I snapped then, looking around the crowd. "That wasn't a compliment."
"Being right is an insult?" Sebastian said then. "Even when you directly stated that you hated praising me? How confusing."
I just ignored him. "I see no suspicious figures other than Edward standing guard. Overtaker and Grell look like they're having fun and searching through the food table." I paused then, blinking. "Wait... where are my servants? I think I lost them a while ago."
I glanced around then, immediately gazing up at Sebastian to find his eyes closed and the smile still curling his lips.
But I looked behind him.
My lashes lowered when a beat of sweat slipped down my cheek.
"Oh, hya mister carpenter!" Carter said, slurring his words while karate chopping Maddox.
"Ey! I like my hair the way it is!" Maddox said then, slurring his words as well when he shrank back.
"Both of you," Scarlet said then, also sounding drunk while shoving them away, "shut your mouths. I have a headache!"
