Sebastian's Lover

Chapter 6- Jack the Ripper

The young master and I were sitting in the carriage in silence as he stared at the letter from the queen. There were prostitutes they were being murdered and Queen Victoria wanted us to solve the mystery. Once we came to a stop, Sebastian opened the carriage door and held out his hand to me. I got up and took his hand, stepping out of the carriage and quickly hiding my feline features, then waited for the young master.

“Young master, it’s been a while since you last went out, isn’t it?” Sebastian said following the young master and I inside the townhouse.

“I couldn’t care less who sent that letter… I hate going to crowded places.” The young master said.

Sebastian opened the door letting me then the young master inside, “But maybe being away from the mansion is okay too, for a change.” He smiled, “Isn’t it much more peaceful without those four by your side?” he opened another door and we saw the room in a mess.

I sighed, Great a mess to clean. Thank you Madam Red, Lau, and Grell.

“Jeez, where did they put the tea leaves in this house?” Madam Red said tossing books out of a cabinet.

“I can’t find them either.” Lau said looking in a vase.

“Madam Red!? Lau!? Why are you here?” the young master said clearly irritated.

“Ah, he came back so quickly.” Madam Red said. “Since my cute little nephew is in London, how could I not come visit you while I’m here?”

Madam Red or Angelina Durless is a nurse at the Royal London Hospital…

“Hey Earl. I’ve heard that many interesting things happen here.” Lau said.

Moreover, Lau is the manager of the English Branch of the Chinese Foreign Trade.

“The aroma is nice. What a unique way of steeping.” Madam Red said.

“Today’s tea is a Jackson’s ‘Earl Grey’.” Sebastian said with a smile while I stood next to the young master.

“Grell, you should follow his example.”

“Y-yes.” Grell said.

Grell Sutcliff is Madam Red’s “butler”.

“Anyways, no matter what, every time I see you, you are still so handsome. Why don’t you simply quit working here and come serve me!” Madam Red said all this while rubbing Sebastian’s ass. He was clearly and very surprised by that action.

I was about to yell at her until the young master cleared his throat and said, “Madam Red. Let’s talk seriously now.” I began to daydream about random things like my life in the past… and Sebastian. I was taken out of my thoughts when everyone stood up. The young master looked at me, “Ophelia stay here until we return.”

“Yes sir.” I said nodding as they all left. I smiled as I ran upstairs to the room I would be staying in and closed the door. I giggled as I said, “Yay! Cat nap!” I got in my bed and curled up in my blankets, I unwrapped my tail, popped my ears out from under my hair, closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.

‘I was out of the orphanage now… well kicked out because I was too old to be there now, 22 years old, and I was hanging out at the park, in the human world, smiling at the moon. No one was out here except me… until a group of men came toward me smiling. I stared at the six of them as one of them said, “Well you’re a pretty lady.”

“Thank you.”

“How would you like to hang out with us tonight?”

I stood up and turned to walk away, “No.”

I began walking away when my arm was pulled. I turned around as another person said, “We don’t accept no.”

I laughed, “Humans are such idiots. Especially men.” I snatched my arm away and looked at them devilishly. I raised my right hand over my chest as a glow illuminated; I slid my hand through and grabbed my favorite weapon o f choice. I pulled it out, revealing a large black thorn-like sword. The light faded as all six of the men were gasping and shaking. “Now, which on of you will die first? Hmmm. You.” I said looking the person who talked to me first. With a quick movement, I sliced him in half, diagonally. His blood sprayed across my face as his body fell. I smiled as I revealed my cat features and looked at the five men. They turned and ran with horrified expressions on their faces, “You’re not going anywhere.”

I raised my sword, twirling it around, creating a red tornado of energy, and sliced it through the air. It followed them then sliced their heads off. I sighed and said aloud, “That wasn’t much of a fight.” I pointed my sword at my chest as the glow illuminated and slid my sword through.’

I slowly woke up from my nap as I felt someone twirling their fingers in my hair. I opened my eyes and Sebastian was smiling down at me. “Hey sleepy head.”

“Hey.” I said curling up against him, “When did you guys get back?”

“Well actually you and I are the only ones here.”

“Were you doing something for the young master?”

“Yes.”

“Did you prepare everything for their arrival back?”

“Of course.”

I smiled,” You really are one hell of a butler.” He smiled, leaned down, and kissed me gently. I pulled away, “And one hell of a kisser.”

He chuckled, “I have a few things up my sleeve.”

“Oh. Like what?”

“Like where your sensitive spots are.”

“And where are they?”

“On the right side of your neck, your left ear, and the base of your tail.”

I was shocked, “How did you know?”

“I noticed that when I kept poking you in your sleep several weeks ago.”

“Really?”

He smiled, “Come on. The others will be here soon.”

He got up, picked me up, and began walking downstairs as I hid my cat features. He put me down just as the door opened. He put his hand on his chest, bowing, and said, “Welcome back. I’ve been waiting for everyone for a while.” The young master walked in and gave Sebastian his hat, “Black tea has already been prepared. Today’s dessert is a European pear and blackberry buckle.”

“Hold on! How did you get back here!?” Madam Red yelled.

“What? Didn’t I say I had things to do? I rushed back home first.”

“By things to do you mean, you already created a blacklist!?”

“No? A list of names that fit all our conditions has already been made. Do you want to find each suspect and chat with them directly? Investigating every noble’s head physician took a rather long time.”

“Hold on Sebastian. How could you investigate the information of this many people.”

Sebastian went through his whole list quickly and I smiled. That’s my Sebby. When he finished he said, “Currently none of these people fit the conditions to be the murderer. Let’s have some tea while we chat.”

“How did you do it, Sebastian? Are really just a butler? You couldn’t be on her majesty’s secret service, right?”

“No. I’m simply one hell of a butler.”
