Secrets of the Sapphire pendant

For about an hour I lay there awake listening to his sweet and gentle words while I drift back to sleep. My grip on his body loosens and I smile in my sleep, this time not having a nightmare.

Now

When I woke up I sat up and stretched but was pulled backwards. "Seems my kitten had a wonderful dream." he said into my ear. I giggled and turned my body around and pulled him close. "It's all thanks to you." I said with a smile. I pulled away from him so I could get dressed but he pulled me back on his lap. "Sebastian I have to get dressed! You said yourself that we were leaving today!" I shouted. "You wouldn't want to wake the others now would you." he said with a smirk. My eyes went wide but I tried to get out of his grip. He finally let go and I went to the wardrobe to pick a dress but sebastian beat me to it. "This will look lovely on you." he said handing the dress to me.

I smiled and took the dress from him but he stopped me from going anywhere, "Kitten you do know this dress still requires a corset, right?" he asked. I sighed and he pulled out a black corset and told me to undress, "You better not peek at me." I said. He put the blindfold on as usual and helped me dress. Afterwards he took the blindfold off and wrapped his arms around my slim waist. "What do you think you're doing? I still have to brush my hair." I said with a little giggle. "I knew you'd look absolutely beautiful. You always do." he said.

After finishing with my hair sebastian had finally left to tend to ciel's morning routine. I left my room and went to the kitchen to fix rose her normal breakfast and lunch since everyone was heading to london for Christmas shopping. When I put the bowls of food down for her I went and waited in the kitchen for sebastian since everyone still had to eat breakfast. I sat down at the island lost in thought over what I wanted to get him but my mind was completely blank. Suddenly there was tapping on my shoulder so I snapped out of my trance and found sebastian with a worried expression.

He seemed to calm down when I noticed him working, "Are you alright sebastian?" I asked confused. "I've been trying to get your attention for nearly fifteen minutes kitten, I thought something was wrong." he said. I pulled him by his tailcoat and gave him a tight hug, "I was just trying to think of something to get you, that's all and you worry too much." I said into his chest. He kissed the top of my head and stroked my back, "Of course I worry for you, you are the only being in this world that I would give my existence to protect." he stated. I stopped him after that sentence and looked him in the eye, "How do you think I would feel if you were gonna die. If you die I don't know what I'd do." I said. He leaned down and pulled me into a kiss. When we pulled away he had to start breakfast.

When everyone was at the table sebastian told me to go sit down at the table since he was nearly done. When I get out to the dining room ciel was irritated, lizzy was crying, Lao and ran Mao was sitting quietly and the reapers were walking down the stairs. I walked over to the table confused but all I could hear was inaudible words through lizzy's crying. "Uh ciel? What's wrong with her?" I asked. "Someone broke into the manor while everyone was asleep and messed with the decorations. They also left a note but I have no idea what it means." he said. I asked if I could look at it and he gave it to me.  When I looked at the note and read it I dropped the paper and was stunned. "Are you alright?" ciel asked. I didn't answer before rushing into the kitchen.
