Kitten in Hell (Sebastian x Reader)

Chapter 9

We never properly celebrated the start of the third book! So I'd like you to comment or inbox me what kind of special chapter you'd like me to write. This can include anything about any character, even dead ones. *cough* darling William </3 *cough*

Your P.O.V

You woke up a few hours later just for Ciel to shout, "Now!" In a matter of seconds you were pinned to the bed by a pair of strong arms and had a spoonful of sweet food shoved into your mouth. Probably a cake, you thought as your stomach growled from your insane hunger, since you had been locked and buried in a coffin for who knows how many weeks next to the ashes of two dead people. What a great way to spend vacation! You thought sarcastically as you chewed and swallowed the food before digging the spoon back into the ice cream cake, savouring each bite. "How's Sebby?" You asked with a mouthful of food, earning a look of disgust from Ciel. "He's unconscious, but Undertaker told me he has to fight the plague on his own" You simply nodded and finished off your food, finally noticing the strange girl standing beside Bard, her hand holding his tightly, her beautiful face pale and her eyes wide. "That butler of yours is a demon, then?" She asked Ciel, who gave a slight nod as he ripped off his eye patch, revealing the contract seal to everyone. You could hear Tanaka's disappointment in Ciel as he sighed and started to shrink down to his chibi size, the other servants more upset in the fact that Sebastian actually was a demon. "I suppose it explains how he was so bleeding good at everything," laughed Bard as he rubbed the back of his neck, not noticing that Finny was on the brink of tears. "Sebastian... A demon? I-I... He..." Mey-Rin seemed lost for words, her glasses still in her pocket and her gun in her hand. "It doesn't matter if he's a demon or not," Finny said softly, his shaking hands clenched tightly as tears dripped onto the floor. "He gave us a home, food, a proper bed, a new life. He could've chosen anyone to be the young master's protectors, and he chose us! Demon or not I'll always be eternally grateful for everything he's done for me!" His short speech seemed to affect the other servants, since they all started to remember everything Sebastian had ever done for them, from the day he took them away from their horrid old lives to now, the one day where Sebastian needed them more than they needed the demon themselves. "Finny's right. Sebastian needs us. Never has he asked for help. He always does it all himself. And when he met us five years ago, he accepted us. Now it's our turn to accept him," Bard added softly yet firmly, standing in the same stance a war General giving a speech would. "Are you sure his name is even Sebastian?" The girl asked fearfully, her knees shaking and making her look rather pathetic. You sighed and rolled your eyes as how Bard chose such a weak little human girl and sarcastically said, "Nah, he just happened to have Ciel's old dog's name. Total coincidence" You were unsure of what if was, but something in your gut was telling you not to trust this innocent looking girl, even if she was Bard's girlfriend or whatever she was to him. "Why don't you ask him?" Ciel asked in a curious yet mischievous tone, a wide smirk in his face as he gently bit on the end of his silver fork, a plate with a slice of cake you didn't even know he had in his hands. (See photo above) Ciel was clearly enjoying her fright of Sebastian in such a vulnerable state, and so were you in a way. You found her pathetic cowering rather amusing, but you weren't cruel enough to express it like Ciel, who obviously didn't care what anyone else thought as long as he could have his fun. "Why don't you?" She retorted, attempting to sound confident even though her voice had failed her, since she stuttered twice. "Alright," Ciel answered simply, shrugging and setting down his cake before leaving the room, a smug smile on his face. It was rather quiet, and had been for a few hours you noticed except in the room you were currently in. There were no screams of pain from Sebastian. There were no howls from Pluto. Not even the sound of a cat was heard. For once, the manor felt lonely and empty even though six people were in the room with you, silently communicating through slight facial expressions rather than words. It was then that you noticed Kira had been silent the whole time, simply staring at the floor as though it were the most interesting thing in the world. Minutes later the Earl of Phantomhive returned, not a single scratch on his body as he resumed his seat, picking up his cake and digging his fork into it. "He wouldn't tell me at first, even after ordering him to. He seemed so desperate to disobey the order and asked that I do not repeat his name to anyone other than his wife and daughter," he stated, glancing at both you and Kira in turn. The girl huffed and rolled her eyes when you assumed she thought no one was looking, making you distrust her even further. "Who are you anyway?" You asked, even though you didn't necessarily care. "Maia Fitzgibben, Bard's fiance," she said in a proud voice, grabbing onto Bard's arm and sticking out her left hand, making sure everyone could see the ring. You almost let out a snort at her behavior, but then you saw Bard looking at her strangely, as though it were unusual for her to act this way. "Congratulations," you told them, completely uninterested, which made you feel like Ciel in a way. You smiled at the floor, lost in your thoughts until the door opened.

Sorry about slow updates. Exams are getting closer, which I'm not studying for XD and writer's block is a bitch.
