My New Life (Sebastian x Reader) - (FIXING ALL SPELLING, DIALOGUE, PUNCT)

Chapter 34 - Preparation

   When I noticed the coast was clear I opened up the door once more, first getting the gifts. I walked up to the door of the manor. I then stood in front of the door, but it opened up quite quickly. Luckily, I was able to hide the gifts behind a nearby tree and came back to where I started with not even batting an eyelash. Who came out the door was Tanaka. "Hello Miss (Your Name)." He greeted me. "Oh, Tanaka! Can I ask for your assistance?" He smiled and gave me a bow. "Why of course." He spoke. "Well, I bought Christmas presents and well, I need to make sure no one enters the carriage. Do you think you can keep people out of the carriage for me?" I asked. "Of course. Won't you need help going in undetected as well?" When he asked that I thought for a moment. I thought about today. "All I've really done is ask people for help. What about me? Aren't I capable of doing this stuff on my own? If it were Sebastian he could do it all without anyone even noticing..." I thought. I began to compare myself to Sebastian. I didn't like that I couldn't do what he could. "This is my chance, proving that I'm at least capable of doing something by myself." I regained my composure. "No that will be easy. Thank you though, Tanaka." He nodded and walked passed me to the carriage. I smirked gaining back my confidence. "I got this." I told myself. I ran back to the tree I had placed Baldroy's and Mey-Rin's gift. I'd have to come back for Sebastian's and Finnie's gift plus the other things I had bought today. I went back to the door and listened for any noise that may have been coming from that room. Not a sound was being made. I couldn't sense Sebastian's presence either. I then opened the door. I was correct. No one was around. Quietly, I went up the stairs and to my room, without being discovered. "I knew I could do it. I like putting my skills to the test. I've never really been aware of what I'm capable of. It was as if I had never became a demon at all. As if, I never changed." I gave out a deep breath. For the mean time, I hid the gifts under my bed. I wouldn't want someone to supposedly walk into my room and go in my closet for some unknown reason. I did the same to my door making sure no one was there. When I knew no one was roaming the halls I left my room and made my way out the front door, back to the carriage. 

   Once I reached the carriage Tanaka being his helpful self, opened the door for me. I gave him a smile of thanks. I grabbed the rings I had bought for Madam Red and Elizabeth and slipped them into my pocket. Then grabbing onto the boxes that contained Mey-Rin's, Finnie's, and Baldroy's cloths for this evening. When doing so I noticed the animals were eyeing me with curiosity. With my free hand I patted them both on the head. "Don't worry, you guys are next." I gave them a smile. I stepped out and Tanaka closed the door behind me.

   I repeated my steps. I listened for Sebastian and anyone else who could have been around and I made it to my room once more except this time I put the boxes on the bed. "Can't wait to surprise the boys with these suits." I spoke to myself. I listened for anyone in the halls but this time, I heard heels clicking on the floor. I automatically knew it was Elizabeth. She kept going down the hallway. I knew every step she took. I heard a door shut. I even knew what room she was in. "Ciel's study... I guess this is my chance to leave." I would have left but something stopped me from opening the door. I heard my name. That's when I started to closely listen. "I haven't seen her yet. She must be busy. Don't bother her." Ciel spoke. I didn't have to be there to know that Elizabeth wasn't happy with his answer. "B-But, I want to get ready with her! The ball is going to occur soon." With that Ciel gave out a sigh. "Lizzie, I have no idea where she is right now. Go ask Sebastian. He might know where she is." I couldn't help but give a chuckle. "Where can I find Sebastian?" I could sense that Ciel was getting fed up with her questions. "Hopefully he doesn't yell at her." I thought. "I don't know! The last time I saw him he said he was getting things prepared for tonight's festivities. He's either in the kitchen, or he's making phone calls to specific guests in the guest room." He said. "You didn't have to yell." She spoke but It appeared that Elizabeth was satisfied with his answer and she left the room running down the hall in the direction she came from. Once I knew that she was no longer there I left my room and made my way to the grand staircase. I leaned my back against the wall looking over the corner to see if anyone was at the bottom of the steps. I couldn't hear anyone nearby either. "Finally, the last trip. Then I should be safe." I told myself. I walked down the steps and out the front door quietly but quickly.
