Sebastian's Lover

Chapter 2- Meeting the Earl

Chapter 2- Meeting the Earl

I woke up in a large room and sat up; I looked around finding my original clothes from earlier, a torn and tattered black dress, sitting on the dresser across the room. I looked down at myself and saw that I was wearing a black nightgown. Who changed me into this nightgown? And where am I?

I heard a knock at the door and then heard a familiar voice say, "Ms. Moray, are you awake?"

"Yes."

Then door opened and a familiar person walked in with a tray... Sebastian. He sat the tray on the dresser, "How are feeling?"

"Better." I said sliding my feet out of the bed and standing up.

He looked at me smiling, "I see you can stand on your feet too."

I smiled, "Yeah." I walked to the dresser and noticed that the tray had two scones and some tea. I picked up the tea and noticed the aroma. "Earl grey tea."

"Yes. How did you know?"

"It's my favorite." I sipped my tea, set it down, and picked up a scone.

"It's my masters too."

"Your masters?" I said biting my scone.

"Yes. You will meet him after breakfast."

"I'm happy I can meet him."

"Good. There's a bath ready for you and I'll return with a dress for you to wear."

"Thank you Sebastian."

He walked out of the room as I finished my scones and tea. I walked into the bathroom and closed the door; I slipped out of my clothes and got in the bathtub. The water was perfect and soothed my body. I looked at my body noticing that I had a few bruises here and there but they were healing.

I jumped when I heard a knock at the door, "Ms. Moray I have your dress."

"Okay." I finished cleaning myself up then got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around me. I opened the door, finding Sebastian waiting by the bed with a black dress in his arms. I grabbed the dress from his arms and said, "I'll be right back."

I turned around and walked to the bathroom then heard Sebastian say, "I'll still be here."

I smiled and closed the door; I dried myself off and then slipped into the dress he gave me. It was long enough so that no one could see my feet, it had a few red fluffy roses around the waist and the sleeves were long and lacey. The dress was beautiful. I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at my cat ears. I could care less if the master sees my ears. He probably already saw them... along with my tail.

I opened the bathroom door and said, as I was walking out, "I'm finished."

Sebastian looked at me, slightly shocked, and smiled, "Ms. Moray you look lovely. Hmmm. There's one thing missing."

"What's that?"

He took out handkerchief, "A lovely red rose..." and with a quick movement changed it into a red rose, "For a lovely lady." He placed it in my hair then scratched by my ears. I leaned into his touch and purred as my tail swayed. He stopped and looked at me smiling, "Come on now Ms. Moray. My master is waiting."

"Okay. And by the way Sebastian, just call me Ophelia. Calling me Ms. Moray is weird."

"Okay." I walked to the door until Sebastian said, "Aren't you going to put on your shoes?"

"No. There's no need for those in my book. But if you insist I would rather wear boots."

"I will get you some boots before the end of today then."

"Thank you Sebastian." I said opening the bedroom door.

I followed him down the hall to a door, he knocked on it then we heard someone say, "Come in."

Sebastian opened the door slightly and said, "Young master I brought the young lady for you."

"Good. Bring her in." He opened the door and moved to the side revealing a young boy, about 13 years old, sitting at a desk. He had blue- black hair, one blue eye... the other eye was covered by an eye patch, and wearing nobles clothing. I walked in and stood there as he said, "What is your name?"

"Ophelia. Who might you be?"

"I am Earl Ciel Phantomhive."

"Hmmm. Your name sounds familiar for some reason." I tilted my head slightly, "I'll think about it later, you look like you have some questions to ask me. Go right ahead."

"Do you have any fighting experience?"

"I know how to wield a sword, use a bow and arrow, shoot a gun, and some other mysterious things that you'll see along the way."

"What can you tell me about yourself?"

"Well I don't know much about who my parents were. I was an orphan since I was a baby. For most of my life I was bullied and abused by everyone around me. Luckily Sebastian came and saved me from being beaten up."

"Now might I ask? Why didn't you fight those people?"

"They were stronger than me and I didn't stand a chance."

"Are you willing to fight now?"

"Yes... even if it means risking my life."

"Are you willing to protect me from any danger that comes my way while undercover as a maid here at the manor?"

"Yes."

"Good. Sebastian show Ophelia around the manor, introduce her to the others, and then give her her chores."

"Yes my lord." Sebastian said bowing.

I walked out of the study along with Sebastian as he closed the door. He looked at me and said, "Would you like to do your chores in that dress or change into your maid uniform?"

"I don't mind changing."

"Okay. I'll go get your dress and shoes."

"Okay." I said turning and walking down the hall to my room. I walked to the doors of the balcony and opened them. I walked outside and leaned against rail breathing in the fresh air.

I heard Sebastian come in the room and say, "I brought your attire."

"Thank you." I said still standing there. I heard some birds chirping and decided to whistle to there chirp. I stopped and smiled then started singing London Bridges.

"London bridges falling down, falling down, falling down. London bridges falling down, my fair lady."

I heard Sebastian walk toward me and sat behind me, "You have a beautiful voice Ophelia."

I blushed slightly, "Thanks." I turned around and looked at him, "I should get changed. I'll be back." I walked past him, grabbed my dress off the bed, and went to the bathroom.

Sebastian's P.O.V.

I stood on the balcony as Ophelia got changed into her maid uniform. For the first time in my life I feel happy and want to be with someone. I know I love her and not for her being a cat but because I love everything about her. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the bathroom door open. I turned around and saw Ophelia in her maid uniform. She looked absolutely beautiful.

Ophelia's P.O.V.

I went to my dresser and took the red rose out of my hair, I looked at Sebastian and said, "Sebastian could you get me a vase half full of water please."

"Of course." He said walking out of the room.

I never knew I could feel this way about anyone. I want to tell him how I feel but I don't know if he feels the same way about me. I haven't even known him for more than a few hours. I believe I can wait a little bit until I tell him.
