Cursed (Sebastian x reader)

Chapter 22

(Y/n)'s POV

Claude threw me into Katrina's room.

"I suggest you be a good girl and stay still or else that wound will get worse," she exclaimed.
"Why do you care what I do?"
"I need all my servants to be in perfect condition so that they'll accomplish their tasks."
"What are you planning? Why did you order Claude to kill everyone?"
"Hahaha, you really think I care about the DAEO? I only sent you there so that you could witness unfair justice. Plus, I needed time to organise everything."
"What are you talking about?"
"We lost the chance to control you at your awakening. Now, I have found a new way to make you under my control. No one will be able to save you now."

Tch, what was wrong with her? Did she literally put me in the DAEO so I could suffer? Did she really have to kill everyone?

"Claude, lock her up and make sure to leave Michael in charge of looking after her."
"Yes, as you wish."

Sebastian's POV

Tch, that angel...going after her by himself. Did he have to go through all the trouble to lock me up in my own room?

After what seemed like an eternity, he stumbled through the front door.

"Why did you go alone? What happened?"
"Is that really how you treat injured people? Such 'hospitality'. Anyway, you would've killed everyone if you came along, am I correct?" he asked.
"You sure do know my actions and motives."
"I casted a spell on myself to prevent the weapons from having any effect against me. But there was this particular bomb that injured me regardless of the spell."
"Is that why you're in that pitiful state? *sigh* That is why I would've gone with you."

He just pushed past me and went into his room without another word. Where was (Y/n)?...I miss you.

(Y/n)'s POV

"Stop it!"

The windows shattered and the broken pieces fell. I did not trust Saki to treat my wound. There was a high possibility that she did something to the bandages and/or the medicine.

"Get away from me!"

It was no use. I was bound by the stupid anti-magic chains.

"Quit whining and stay still," she ordered.

Tch, why should I trust her? She did nothing but become my enemy.

"Listen, I do not want to do this either. I hate you and I'd rather see you die. But Katrina has ordered that you get treated."
"You want me to die, right? You could've poisoned the medicine."
"*sigh* Just trust me this one time."

Never have and never will. To stop all this arguing, I reluctantly sat still and allowed her to treat my wound. Surprisingly, she didn't try any tricks.

"You seem depressed. Something wrong?" she asked.
"Huh? No, I'm fine."
"Drop the tough act. I know you're not."
"Why are we even talking about this?"
"Because I want to see you suffer more."

*sigh* There was no point in arguing with her.

"Saki, bring her to the chamber. We're beginning phase one," exclaimed Claude.

I was dragged to an old room. What was this place? Wait...what was that? There was a tank of water in the middle of the room, along with a few strange machines and equipment.

"Today, you will be starting phase one. There are a total of five stages which you will go through, each more painful than the last. When the fifth and final stage is complete, your old self will disappear and you will be a pawn for Lady Katrina to use," Claude explained.

Not again! Tch, I hated them. I haven't done anything to them and yet, they did all this to me.

Michael lifted me up roughly and dumped me into the water. I sank deeper down into the water while gasping for breath.

The water seemed to zap me as I moved around. It felt like a snake was winding its body around mine, tightening its grip as I tried to hold my breath.

Damn it...I couldn't last much longer in this state.

Katrina's POV

I watched as (Y/n) soon lost consciousness. *evil laugh* Torturing her was fun. I'd never regret doing this.

Suddenly, I got this strange feeling that someone was staring at me. When I turned around, I noticed that it was Claude. He looked away, a little flustered, when I made eye contact with him.

Tch, if it will stop him from staring at me creepily then I guess there was no choice.
I pulled him into a rough kiss. Before it could lead to anything more, I pushed him away.

"Happy? Now, if you don't mind, please stop staring at me."
"L-Lady Katrina..."
"Don't get the wrong idea, I still love Sebastian."

Michael pulled (Y/n) out of the water. But she'd be too stupid to notice that I casted a spell on the water. All I needed was for her to make contact with it five times before she became my personal maid.

Ciel's POV

*sigh* This was seriously starting to annoy me. Sebastian was less focused on his duties and he always had an unusual frown on his face while Liam was whining in his room like a little child.

Meirin, Finny and Bard were no help at all. All they did was cause more trouble.

"May I ask why you're not going home Elizabeth?"
"There's nothing to do at home. I want to see you," she replied happily.
"Do you not understand the situation right now? You've already seen me enough for the past few days. I think now's the time to go home."
"Awww, I want to stay here. It's so fun."
"Elizabeth, I honestly do care about you but it would be better for me to work if you know..."
"What?"
"If you could leave me alone."
"Oh..."

She pouted and walked away with a strange gloomy aura surrounding her body.
