When we arrive she was cowering in fear but when we looked towards the figure my eyes grew wide while a low and demonic growl left Sebastian.  

Now

The figure was none other than Claude Faustus, "What?! How did you survive?! You were bleeding to death when we left you?!" I shouted. "You think that wound was bad enough to kill me? You should have had Michaelis kill me when he had the chance." He stated. I gave an aggravated sigh and asked Sebastian to put me down. When I was standing up Claude had notice that I was having a hard time and he chuckled, "What's so funny that makes even you laugh?" I asked. "The crow can't protect one human girl from being injured as badly as that, how pathetic." Claude stated, as I was holding onto Sebastian I could feel his muscles in his arm tightening and I grew worried about him revealing his true form out of anger.

I shook him lightly trying to snap him out out of his angered daze, "Calm down Sebastian, don't let him get to you cause it's not worth it." I said trying to calm him down. "Kitten, I understand you're worried for me but I won't let that damned spider touch you, you're already hurt enough." He said sweetly but angry. I knew that whatever I said wouldn't stop him from killing Claude since Sebastian never cusses and Claude had kidnapped me once before. Claude dismissed himself and left, as he was leaving he whispered in my ear 'Michaelis won't save you this time.' When he was gone I looked to Sebastian with a worried look but he told me that he'd handle Claude when the time came. 

When Claude left Sebastian had told mey-rin to clean her mess up and he started walking with me. We walked around the manor for a few hours and I couldn't take anymore, my legs were in excruciating pain but I was walking better than I would have thought, so he picked me up bridal style and took me to my room. When we arrived in my room he put me down on the bed, "You've done wonderful kitten." he said praising me. I gave him a bright smile although I was in pain. He kissed me on the forehead and left heading to the bathroom.

While I sat on the bed I was thinking about what Claude could have up his sleeve but then I heard the sound of running water, I turned my attention towards the bathroom but all I could see was steam rolling out of the doorway. I pushed and lifted my body up by using the nightstand as support and surprisingly I was able to stand up although it was extremely painful. When I started moving towards the bathroom door Sebastian walked out and he held a shocked expression, "Kitten! What are you doing?" he asked worriedly. "I was just coming to see what you were doing, sorry." I said in pain. He wrapped one of his arms around my back and knelt down wrapping the other under my thighs, lifting me up.

While he was holding me he walked into the bathroom and set me down on the counter, "I'll be right back with mey-rin, don't move alright." he said then left. I waited on the counter for about ten minutes then mey-rin walked in the bathroom holding my bed clothes. She set them down and helped me off the counter gently, then helped me with the crimson dress that I was wearing. When she finished helping me undress she helped me into the tub, "Call for me if you need help miss." mey-rin stuttered. I giggled at her reaction but gave her an okay.

While I was soaking in the tub I could feel the pain in my legs fade away but the sting to my stomach was sharp. When I finished washing my body and hair I rinsed off and drained the tub, I then called for mey-rin but she never came, I didn't want to call for Sebastian since I didn't want him to look at me without clothes on so I tried calling for her again, still nothing. I was getting irritated that she wasn't coming to help me since she's the only other girl in the manor so I lifted my body up and out of the tub but barely, I pulled the towel off the rod and wrapped myself up to cover my exposed body then called for the only one I knew that could come and help me, Sebastian.
