Our Forever Love ( A Sebastian X Reader ) On Hold

Chapter 11 - The Danse Macabre

Sebastian's Pov

-----

"Hello Love." After her words the room went quiet, but only for a little bit. N/m's gaze began to wonder the room after she took her place beside Claude; looking at every person that was in the room with her. As I watched her do so I noticed something was indeed wrong. It was her eyes. They were a darker shade of E/c and seemed almost lifeless. That is... until her gaze fell upon me. At first her eyes flashed to her normal E/c eyes, but that didn't last. Just as quickly as it appears her E/c eyes turned lifeless once again but this time they were filled with hatred.

"What the hell is he doing here?" She asked clenching her teeth together. I stopped staring at her and moved my gaze to Claude who had a smug look on his face, but it quickly faded when N/m shifted her gaze from me, back to Claude. "He's lord Phantomhive's butler. Don't worry though love. You'll have your fun with him soon enough." Ciel and I just stared in confusion. Why was she acting this way towards us? Whatever was wrong with her though had to be the outcome of Claude taking her away. I knew that for sure.

The room was filled with tension until Ciel decided to break the awkwardness. "Trancy why are we here?" He asked eyeing the young blonde. Alois eyes filled with excitement and a devious smile formed on his face. "Oh yes, I had almost forgotten. Please follow me this way." And so we did. Ciel and I began walking behind the group from the Trancy household through their many hallways. "Sebastian." Ciel whispered. "After whatever Alois has planned I want you to figure out what has happened to N/m, and if you can find a way to bring her back, that's an order. I don't know what Alois is planning but I don't like it." I look down at Ciel and nodded my head acknowledging the order that has been given to me.

Soon enough we are lead outside to a giant chess board that seemed to be made as a dueling ground. I look down at Ciel and notice his eyebrows scrunching ever so slightly in confusion. "What is this?" Ciel asked slightly confused at the giant chess board in front of him. I keep my eyes focused on the board while I answer my master's question. "It appears to be a dueling arena." Ciel closed his eyes but was quickly pulled out of his thoughts when Lord Trancy began to speak.

"Here's an idea Ciel. Let's have the butler's do the work! They can dance in our place. You have your butler and I'll choose one of mine. Whoever can 'dance' the longest will be declared the victor. The losers must do whatever the winner wants. Do we have a deal?" Alois said with a wicked smirk growing on his face, and a tone so venomous that you could almost feel it circulating through your veins. I look at Claude in confusion and see him smirking. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind which caused my body to stiffen and my chest to tighten. 'They've been planning this the entire time.' I thought to myself, expecting only one outcome from this. I bend over slight and whisper into Ciel's ear. "It seems we weren't alone in our thinking young master. It seems they've prepared a death match as well, but I'm slightly concerned about who they are going to pick for the duel." After I finish saying this I turn my head towards Ciel to see that he had his eyes closed, and a small yet noticeable smirk stuck on his face.

"This sound exactly like the party I had in mind. I much prefer it to dressing up in silly costumes." When I first heard Ciel's words I looked at him in disbelief but grinned as I saw my old master returning slowly from before he had lost his memories. Ciel then opened his eyes and looked over to me as his once smirking face completely disappeared without a trace. "But I do agree with you about your concern. If this goes the way were both imaging it to I want you to continue to do whatever you can to bring her back is that clear Sebastian!" I simply nodded in return.

With that said, a giant ringing from a bell was heard which indicated the start of the match. Without hesitation, Ciel pulled off his eyepatch revealing our contract and ordered for me to win the duel and bring Alois to him when it was over. I get down on one knee and place my hand over my heart, saying those three words that the viewers just adore to hear. "Yes my Lord."
