I groaned as I walked towards the attic door carrying a step stool. Once I was underneath the door I put the step stool down on the ground. I stepped onto the stool and pulled the handle down opening the door. I stepped off the stool trying not to fall, I pulled the built in ladder down and set it on the floor. I looked up in the attic, it was dark.
"I can't believe she has me doing this. She knows how much I hate the attic." I say to myself. "Why couldn't mom just let me go by a dress for the wedding?" I say as I climb the ladder. Dad's sister was getting re-married and they wanted us to be there. Since I was too old to be the flower girl again my aunt asked me to be one of her bridesmaids. She wanted the bridesmaid dresses to be a teal blue with the top of the dress sequenced. She said the length of the dress didn't matter to her, but she wanted us to wear either teal shoes or white shoes. They had to be flats or heels.
Once I got to the top of the ladder I pulled my phone out and turned on the flashlight on. I shone it around before walking around. I saw a bunch of boxes in the back right corner, I sighed. I slowly made my way over to the boxes so I wouldn't fall through. I started looking at the boxes which were vaguely labeled may I add. I started opening boxes and looking in them to find the box that has all of mom's old dresses.
I went through four boxes of random crap that mom has horded over the years. I was just about to give up until I pull over another box and opened it. This one had a bunch of dresses in it. I shoveled my way through all of them until I found the one she told me about. I laid it to the side as I started closing all the boxes back up, until one last one caught my eye. I pulled it over and opened it.
Inside the box there were glass balls, they kinda looked like crystal balls that fortune tellers usually have. I picked one up noticing that there was a name carved into the ball in black letters. This one read Anakin Skywalker. I looked at it in confusion. I picked up another one, Fred Wesley. I kept going through some of them. There were names of people from movies, from YouTube, anime's, from TV shows and even musicians.
"What the hell are all of theses?" I ask myself. I picked up one more and the name on this one was Sebastian Michaelis. I put this one into my jacket pocket and closed the box. I finished stacking the boxes back and left the attic with the dress. I shut the door to the attic and moved the step stool out of the way. I walked into my childhood room and closed the door. I tried to pull out the orb thing, but it was stuck. I pulled harder until I got it out, but it fell to the floor and it shatters letting out smoke that got in my face.
I coughed, closing my eyes and waving away the smoke. Once I could breathe again I opened my eyes and there stood a man wearing a black butler's suit. He had shaggy black hair and blood red eyes. He smiled sweetly at me and held out his hand.
"Sebastian Michaelis my lady." he says.
"Uh... (Y/N) (L/N)." I say putting my hand in his. He brought it to his lips and gently kissed my knuckles while bowing as well. All of this has kinda weirded me out. He stood up straight and let go of my hand. My door opened and mom came in with the dress, I must have dropped it and didn't know. She stopped when she saw Sebastian.
"(Y/N) why is he here?" she asks sounding like she knew something.
"Um... well... I found this box that had these orb/ball things in it and I grabbed one and brought it down here to look closer at it. When I tried to pull it out of my pocket it got stuck and when it came undone it slipped out of my hand and now here he stands." I say giving her the short version. She sighed.
"(Y/N) I have to tell you something." she says. We sit on the bed and she tells me something I can't believe. Basically the women in the family on my mom's side could create 'what mom called them' helpers and store them in an orb. "I'm going to have to teach you how to put him back." says mom.
"Wait. I could use Sebastian. He can come as my boyfriend, I don't want aunt (A/N) to be on me about finding a boyfriend." I say.
"You can't use them for..."
"Didn't you say you could use them for anything?" I ask while crossing my arms. She sighs giving in.
"Fine, but after the wedding he's going back." says mom. I thank her and hug her.
~Time skip to the bride and groom dance~ (Author is not good at writing weddings)
Chasing cars by Snow Patrol came on for my aunt and my new uncle's dance. The danced across the floor in sync and perfect rhythm. They looked so happy together. I watched as my aunts dress twirled around as she and her new husband danced. It was like a scene from a movie. Once the song ended they kissed as everyone clapped. The DJ played the next slow song that had the bride, groom, bridesmaids and the groomsmen dancing. He played 'You and me' by Lifehouse.
"May I have this dance, my lady?" asked Sebastian holding his hand out to me. I smiled and took it. He lead me out on the dance floor. He was leading me, because I couldn't dance to save my life. As I looked closer at him I couldn't help but to find myself attracted to him. He was very handsome and kind. He was polite and was chivalrous. I kept getting lost in his eyes. He smirked. "Do you like what you see (Y/N)?" he asks. I could feel my cheeks heat up.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I say. He chuckles.
"You're absolutely stunning you know that?"
"You're very handsome yourself." I say not thinking. "You tricked me."
"Don't be so embarrassed by it. I'm attracted to you too."
"Really?" I asked as the song came to and end. He grabbed my chin and lifted it and pulled me into a kiss. Everything else stopped, frozen in time. I kissed back wrapping my arms around his neck. Something inside of me wanted this, needed this man in my life. I didn't want to put him back in the orb. Soon we pulled away and everything began moving again.
"Really." he says making me smile.
