Secrets of the Sapphire pendant

♥20♥

Previously

I tried holding my eyes open but they were too heavy and eventually I gave up and passed out, luckily not having any nightmares.

Now

Over the next week and a half the nightmares have been getting worse. I stayed up all night afraid of falling asleep to experience the excruciating pain that courses through my entire body. While I was sitting on my bed lost in fear sebastian walks in my room. "Kitten you need sleep, it is not healthy for you to stay awake this long." he said with a frown crossing his features. I yawned but went against the idea of sleep, "Yes I'm sure it isn't good for me to stay up this long but I don't wanna go through the nightmares again. I haven't had a normal dream in over a week so I give up." I said groggily.

Sebastian then takes his tailcoat off and his shoes placing them on a chair in the far corner of my room. He walks closer to me and slips in the bed laying me down on his chest. "Please don't make me." I said frightened and ready to cry. "It's alright kitten I will be by your side while you rest." he said cooing me to sleep. I resisted sleep for about five minutes then my heavy eyes fall, closing and me falling into the darkness of sleep.

Nightmare~

I wake up to the same atmosphere as all the other times, the pitch black along with the man standing in the only light source. He turns to face me with his blade in hand, I start panicking wanting to move but as before the environment was preventing me to run, so I just sit in that spot full of fear. When he stood in front of me he pierced my side with the blade and started a conversation.

"It's about time for my appearance in the real world my dear." he said with that creepy grin. "W-why are y-you doing this to me?" I asked with tears streaming down my pale face. He grabbed my chin with his index finger and thumb, "My sweet child you have been tainted by a son of hell, I simply have to get rid of anything that does not belong." he stated. He tossed me backwards and plunged the sword through my heart ending my nightmare. 

End of nightmare~

I jolted from my position and as the raven promised, he was laying right there. "Another nightmare?" he simply asked. The tears overflowed and poured down my face and Sebastian sat up rubbing them away. "Kitten, I promise these nightmares will end really soon but will you promise me something?" he asked. I sniffled and gave a little 'hm?'. "Will you promise to be strong for me until I can stop this?" he said holding me and stroking my head. I nodded into his chest and we stay like that for a long period of time.

I noticed that the little bit of sun started to show through my window, "I need to get up and prepare for the day kitten, will you be alright?" he asked softly. I nodded my head and he placed a kiss on my forehead then left the room to get started with his day. While I lay on the bed I start feeling tired again so I dozed off without realizing it.

Sebastian's POV 

While I was preparing the young masters morning tea I hear quiet screams coming from upstairs, 'I can't wait for this to be over. She does not deserve this.' I thought feeling bad for my precious kitten. I had to put that aside for now so the young master does not over sleep even though I wanted to run to her side. When I brought the tea to the young master I poured it but before he took a sip he speaks, "Sebastian, you should hurry with my routine (y/n) needs you, does she not?" he stated. I dressed the young master quickly and left heading towards my precious kitten's side.

When I arrive in her room I see her holding her chest as if to stop pain. She was screaming and crying which pained me to see her in such a state. 'That bastard will pay for this.' I thought while holding her form trying to calm her down. I was talking to her while she slept just hoping that my words could possibly reach her, the only thing that I was capable of was holding her. All of a sudden I hear her cries soften and her hand clutches on to my tailcoat. "Are you awake now kitten?" I said full of sorrow. She lifted her face so she could look at me and her face was bright red and slightly swollen due to her crying. "When will this nightmare end?" she asked me with choked tears.

I pulled her close holding her and telling her that everything was going to be alright although I knew she was frightened no matter what. "Kitten you are very brave to handle this by yourself, please be brave just a while longer." I told her. The only thing I truly desired at the moment was to see (y/n) sleep peacefully and for her to have a bright smile on her face instead of a flowing tears. I removed her crying form from my chest, "Kitten you should prepare for the day alright. Christmas is right around the corner and we are heading to London for the last time to buy gifts." I said hoping to change the subject.

I stood up from the bed still holding her closely and walked to her bathroom. I set her on the counter then started her a warm bath, I turned my attention to her for a moment. "Kitten?" I asked snapping her out of a daze. She looked at me confused but I brought my hand up to her cheek and pulled her into a kiss. When I pulled away from her she had the most adorable shade of pink rushing to her cheeks. "What's so funny raven?" she spoke up. "Is my beautiful feline feeling better?" I asked. She seemed to have her usual crimson face so I took that as a yes.

I turned my attention back to the filling tub and poured some soap in the bath water to make bubbles form. I stopped the water from filling anymore then turned my attention back to (y/n). "Would you like some assistance undressing?" I asked with a smirk. The only response I received was her pushing me out of the bathroom which caused me to chuckle, 'At least she hasn't let these nightmares faze her wonderful personality' I thought while leaving the room all together.

(Y/N)'s POV 

I was blushing a bright crimson remembering how Sebastian was acting while he finished making the bath but I laughed a little seeing him happy after the kiss. I undressed from the nightgown and sat in the tub full of warm water and fluffy bubbles and my mind wandered to the nightmare most recently. I was scared, not only for myself but for Sebastian as well. Deep down I know he was hurting just as much as I was. After I finished bathing I rinsed the bubbles off of me and stepped out drying off. I peeked into my room and thankfully no Sebastian, so I stepped over to my wardrobe pulling out a dress that didn't need a corset.

I dressed quickly and brushed through my damp hair pulling the top half and clipping it down. After I was done I slipped on some shoes and went downstairs where everyone was waiting on breakfast, and as if on Que Sebastian walked out of the kitchen with food. After everyone ate we all put our coats, gloves, and scarfs on for the winter air and left. While we were riding I was thinking of some last minute gifts that would make them happy. The two hours slip by and we made it to London.

We all stepped out of the carriage and went shopping, me with Sebastian and lizzy with ciel. While we walked around town I decided I wanted to hold Sebastian's hand which seemed to have made him happy since I noticed a smile creep on his face. While pulling him in shop after shop looking for something good to give to the others, I could feel someone watching us the entire time. I was to afraid to find out who could be watching so I stayed focused. I noticed a shop with cameras inside so I pulled sebastian into that one.

When we stepped into that shop the shop owner invited us in nicely asking what we were looking for. I decided I wanted to talk with him in private since I wanted a picture to go in the locket I got for Sebastian. He took various pictures of us and printed them all out with the blacklight printing method. When we finally got the pictures I was happy that the camera wasn't as bad as I thought it would be for the time period. I payed the shop owner and we left. When we finished getting more gifts for everyone we went and met up with ciel who had just got back to the parked carraige. We all loaded up and left heading back to the manor, but Sebastian was acting off and didn't seem like his normal calm self which worried me slightly. The only one that was calm and seemed like they knew what was going on was ciel and lizzy was smiling, ignoring what was going on.  'what is going on!?!' I thought to myself.
