Yes, My Lord

2. Battlefield

A/N: Ok, so I am sorry if I mess anything up with school, as I am not sure how do you say about that school for grades 5-9. Please correct me in the comments if you can! Also, sorry for the late update. I have been having writer's block and stuff... So yeah

The following weeks passed like blur. Helen being in orphanage, Sebastian "adopting" her, questions. Helen felt as being half asleep most of the time. She would check behind her often, to check if the monsters were there. The black eyes outside the window, the footsteps coming closer, hand moving on the wall- these were things only Helen saw. She knew that nobody else saw the monsters. She didn't regret anything she had done. And when she really came to her senses, it was the morning of her first schoolday.

,,It's time to wake up." Helen heard Sebastian say, as she woke up. The smell of toast came from the kitchen as Helen stood up. Sebastian had left the room already, and Helen looked at a big, narrow mirror.

It reflected a thin and short girl with left eye that was light hazel, just like a light oak in the sunlight, while her other eye shined in its purple colouring with a pentagram in its pupil. Her pale skin made a contrast with her raven black hair that end at her lower back. Behind Helen, there was a white room with wooden floor, bed, desk, closet and bookcase in it.

Helen dragged her eyes away from her reflection, and dressed before going to breakfast.

Her clothes for today consisted of plain white button-up shirt with dark blue jacket that had golden fastings, and black skirt that too, had golden fastings with long white socks underneath them. On the jacket, there was a crest that had a open golden book on blue background. Two silver writing quills were crossed over the book, and at the very bottom, one could read:

,,Lakewood Middle School: Helen Michaelis"

Sighing, Helen left the room, walking through the corridor to the kitchen where Sebastian was serving a bowl with porridge that had some sugar and cinnamon on top of it.

,,Good morning, young mistress", Sebastian said, as he saw Helen coming inside. ,,May I ask you, what took you so long?"

Helen sat down behind her plate.,,Call me just by my first name,"she took a spoon laying next to the plate,,and buttons. Buttons are hard to do."

After few minutes of sound of only spoon showeling food from plate, Helen suddenly looked up from her plate to Sebastian, who was wearing a black suit, white gloves in his hands and square glasses looking from his chest pocket.

,,Sebastian." She muttered, playing with her spoon in her fingers. ,,Sebastian."

,,Yes?" Sebastian answered.

,,Sebastian," Helen swallowed.,,I don't want to go to school today. I'll go tomorrow."

Sebastian shook his head a bit:,,I'm sorry, but you have to go. I will be coming with you."

,,I know you will." Helen respond.,,But I don't want to go."

,,May I ask, why aren't you wanting to go?"

,,Well..." Helen bit his lip,,Too many people".

Sebastian smirked.,,Well, you have been in school previously too, right? You are probably used with it."

,,No.". Helen said quietly.,,You don't understand."

Sebastian looked at his small pocket watch. ,,Oh dear, it seems it's time to go now." He said, as Helen finished her breakfast.

Two people, one tall and other small, were standing right outside Lakewood middle school, a big 3-storey yellow stone house. One of the people standing outside was dressed in tall black coat, black suit and white gloves. The other one was wearing blue jacket, black skirt and black schoolbag with some gold on it.
