Demons, Reapers, Angels Oh My!

Chapter 7

After I got all cleaned up well mostly clean. I still had flour in my hair and on my face. Sebastian had to help me get it out of my hair. He was currently trying to get some out of my hair and I was looking at his red-brown eyes. I could get lost in them. They were beautiful.

"Sebastian about the other day..."

He looked me in the eyes, "what about the other day?"

I looked into his eyes. He knew what I meant.

"Sebastian you know what I mean."

He nodded, moving onto removing the flour from my face. "Oh that's right. Our feelings for each other. Alice what are you getting at here?"

I blushed slightly, "Sebastian, I don't know... I just can't help it... Our contract. I can't be with you forever because one of these days you're going to devour my soul..."

He was silent. He washed off the flour on my cheeks, forehead, and nose. He gently cleaned it from my eyes and nose. I looked at him, I was fascinated as he worked. Once he was done he answered my question.

"Alice, I love you more than your very own soul. Now we must be getting down to dinner. I'll walk you down."

I smiled blushing slightly. He held his arm out and I took it. We both walked down the hall together. We were just talking when we both heard a crash. Sebastian went to look at what happened but told me to continue going down to dinner. Ciel had someone coming over to discuss business today so we had a important guest today. I walked past his office and saw him in with Damian the head of Funtom Company, which is Ciel's confectionery toy manufacturing company.

They were currently playing a board game. I stood in the doorway. Ciel noticed me and said, "Alice come in and meet our guest for the day."

I slowly walked in. Mr. Damian stood up as soon as he saw me.

He spoke with an Italian accent, "My my what a beautiful thing you are."

This guy already creeped me out. Ew.

"Brother, I am going down to dinner. Sebastian said it is ready."

He nodded. We all walked out together. Ciel was in front, leaving me to walk by this creep. We started down the hall. Damian tried grabbing my hand. I pulled away. We started walking down the stairs.

"Ciel phantomhive, I must use the loo."

Ciel stopped walking, "Alice would you mind showing him where the loo is?"

I nodded, even though he was a creep. I wasn't going to be rude. "Yes brother I will."

We waited on the stairs until Ciel left. I looked at Damian. "If you'll follow me I'll show you to the-"

I was interrupted by him shoving me into the wall. He pinned me down with one arm and his other above my head. He slowly moved his hand down to rest on my cheek, then he started to slowly move it down. Before he could go any farther, I kicked him in the shin, making him cry out in pain. He grabbed me and threw me down the stairs. I tumbled down them. Landing on my knees. I had a searing pain in my right ankle. Damian was approaching me. I tried moving but cried out from the pain in my leg. He was getting closer and closer.

I was crying now, the pain was intense and Damian was advancing upon me. He finally got to me he went to kick me. I buried my head in my arms waiting in the fatal position for the pain. It never came. I looked up with tears in my eyes. Damian was on the ground now and Sebastian was looking down at him.

"Now if you ever lay a hand on my young mistress again you will be punished in a most horrific way."

Damian was shaking. He nodded obviously frighten. He got up and went to the dining room. Leaving me and Sebastian.
