One Hell Of A Maid

Chapter 4 - Lenore

Chapter 4 - Lenore

It was an ordinary day for Lotti, nothing out of the ordinary happened as of yet. Finny came running towards her looking happy as per usual. Lotti smiled kindly as she stopped cleaning to see what the gardener needed.

"Miss Lotti! Master's got a guest over, I think 'er name's Lenore! She's real pretty you know!" Finny informed her. "Master says to go to his study immediately."

"Lenore. Hm." Lotti tapped her chin in thought. She was sure she had heard of a Lenore before, though it is London, there could be tons of Lenore's. Hopefully it wasn't the one she was thinking of. "Thank you, Finny, I'll go there now." She curtsied then headed up to Ciel's study. She knocked on the door before entering. "Is there something you need, master?" She asked.

"I'd like to introduce you to Lenore." Ciel said with his usual bored expression. At the moment Lenore wasn't visible, she was sat in a chair facing Ciel. Then she stood up all of a sudden. Lotti paused before forcing a smile. It was the one Lenore she dreaded seeing. It was only then that Lotti noticed Francesca sat at the side of the room reading a novella.

"Absolute pleasure to meet you." Lotti said trying not to sound sarcastic.

"Hm. You're not the most attractive are you?" Lenore said suddenly. Lotti felt like breaking her neck. She was rude, how could Ciel stand to look at that for more than a minute?! "Though, Phantomhive, your butler is quite charming." Lenore walked over to Sebastian and placed her hand on his right cheek before staring at his beautiful features.

The door suddenly burst open revealing Hiro, he held up his finger whilst he was catching his breath.

"Where's the new guest?!" He demanded.

Sebastian and I quickly moved to cover Ciel's eyes. Hiro was completely naked, he had no shame. All he wore was a simple scarf. My cheeks reddened.

Francesca stood and walked towards Hiro with a blank face. She slapped his cheek then removed her cloak to cover him.

"Ouch. That hurt, what was that for?" Hiro asked rubbing his cheek and holding the cloak to cover his lower parts.

"Why on earth do you think?" Francesca said angrily. "Ciel has guests and you're parading around the manor like that?! Just what are you doing?!"

"I'm training to withstand the cold." Hiro said simply. Besides, my true love might take me back if she sees my wonderful body!"

As Lotti covered both Ciel's eyes, Sebastian walked towards Hiro and punched him dead in the face. Hiro fell backwards onto the floor. He sat up suddenly and he had a little grin on his face.

"I love it when people are rough with me." He said. "I think I'm falling for you, butler."

"This just got a lot more interesting." Lenore raised her eyebrows before taking hold of Sebastian's arm and leading him away out of the room. The door was shut and I moved my hands away from Ciel's face. He scoffed and drunk the remains of his tea.

"Lotti, go make sure Lenore doesn't do anything strange. I don't exactly trust her." Ciel ordered.

"Yes, master."

"Oh, Sebastian. You're incredibly handsome." Lenore complimented. Sebastian only smiled. Lotti wasn't sure if Sebastian was being friendly because she was a guest or he liked her. Lotti hated the fact she felt so much jealousy.

The maid decided she would clean in the room she was in, it was a much better option than hiding and sneaking around, wasn't it?

Lenore held Sebastian's face in her hands then without wasting time leaned forward and pressed her lips to Sebastian's. What amused Lotti, even just the slightest was the disgusted face Sebastian pulled. Lenore didn't care and decided she would sit on his lap.

"Miss, I do not mean to alarm you but I do have a lady of my own. I'm afraid I cannot commit to you." Sebastian said politely gently pushing her away.

This boosted Lotti's respect for her lover but she still felt extremely angry at Lenore. She had decided she would kill Lenore, it was obvious nobody had deemed her useful anyway.

"Ah, Lotti." Francesca smiled walking over to the maid. "Would you mind preparing a few drinks? Phantomhive's having a few guests over and he doesn't want to disappoint." She finished before dusting down her dress and walking away.

"Yes, miss." Lotti replied before heading into the kitchen. The maid pondered how she would do her dirty work without necessarily getting dirty herself. If she somehow managed to get the crimson liquid on her clothes she'd be making it too obvious and Ciel would find out straight away without a doubt.

She was then snapped out of her thoughts by kisses on her neck by none other than Hiro. He smirked and gently placed his hands on Lotti's hips.

"I really like it when you don't struggle, Lotti."

"Maybe if you weren't such a pervert we would be closer, Hiro." Lotti said harshly. "Why must you be a demon of a higher rank than myself? Do you not starve from the lack of souls? When was the last time you consumed one?"

"The reason why I don't starve is because I'm a higher rank, dearest Lotti. And if you must know the last time I consumed a soul was 10 years ago." Hiro answered. He was wearing clothes at this point much to Lotti's relief.

"When you were 10?" Lotti questioned and received a nod for the reply. "Then that's after we got separated."

"You're 18 now, right? And I'm 20. I haven't seen you since you were 7. How many years is that?"

"11."

"11 long years without seeing my precious Lotti. It's nothing in demon ages but it's dragged a hell of a lot without you."

"I missed you, Hiro." Lotti said shyly. She turned and hugged Hiro tightly. They were childhood best friends. A lot changed over the years, Lotti had become more skilled and beautiful and Hiro had become more handsome. "But, shoo, I'm busy." She smiled and the purple haired noble nodded and walked away.

There was chatter in the main hall so Lotti assumed that the guests had arrived. She quickly prepared the drinks and placed them on a tray and carried them into the main hall. She handed each guest, Ciel, Francesca and Hiro a drink; purposely forgetting Lenore.

Lotti noticed Lenore head out of the room towards the garden. Lotti snuck out of the room unnoticed. She pulled out the blade she had in her stockings. As she silently walked behind Lenore she gently tapped her shoulder before disappearing into the darkness again.

"Who's there?" Lenore asked spinning around looking utterly confused.

Lotti smirked then repeated the action. Then finally she appeared behind Lenore. Lenore turned am faced Lotti. The maids' eyes glowed brightly in the darkness, Lenore looked terrified. Lotti made no hesitation in shoving the blade through the side of her head killing her instantly, Lotti decided to knock her about a little too to make it more dramatic.

"We'll be moving out into the garden!" Francesca announced.

Lotti jumped on top of the manor and disappeared through one of the windows returning to her duties.

"She... She's dead."
