Devil take the Hindmost (Sebastian Michaelis x Oc) Book One

Chapter 22: His Butler and Rook, Engaging Servants

-Flashback one year ago

London was in just another one of its gloomy weather today. In fact, it looked, even more, gloomier than ever one this one day. But even though London has its dark, grim scenery people continued their everyday lives. Yet just looking over the view of London, just up upon the clock tower. Someone was looking down as if screeching for something. And when it was found, the lone stranger dressed as if she was out for target practice.

And wouldn't 'cha know a lone rifle with a spyglass set in motion for her. Setting her eye up in place trying to find her target. Yet the glass wear made it that much harder. "Tsh, THIS is in the way."  Grabbing the scope she broke it off like nothing as she used her real scope herself. That those are her special inhuman eyesight.

Seeing a man looking at his watch in the park, the 'black widow' waited for just the right moment, the right second to make it seem like he just drops. Just as she was about to puller the trigger she gasped as her target got down on his knee as a young boy was racing towards him with a boy embracing a parent he loves. Lifting the jewel in his eye as he laughed at his face and relaxed his shoulders not too soon after a woman joined them with a newly born baby in her arms as he came over tickling his new baby's cheek.

And the now new big brother looked at his little sibling's sleeping face.

'Can...you really do?'

'Can you....really....kill....a man.....and scar....his family for the rest of their lives.....'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Biting her upper lip, hesitating at the choice she is about to make. Her bangs covered her eyes as she was thinking through the whole choice. She HAD an order to do which was kill the target. No questions asked. So why can't she? Well....cause it's a family. It's a father. Who is having a family outing with his family? No one should have to see a gunshot through their father, a husband, and a man.

It seems as if sensing her hesitation a shadow came out of nowhere and a tall man wearing a butler's uniform seems to speak behind the 'black window'.

"You have incredible eyes. I would like to hire you....."

She set her gun aiming at the stranger she didn't even hear coming up as she turned about to fire at him. But like a shadow, he was gone. Looking around slowly to where this man was hiding it wasn't long before he was right behind her with her rifle out of her hand and finishing what he was telling her.

"Room and board would be required in it as well.....and no experience is needed.....I'll teach you everything you need to know....."

Whispering sweet nothing of poison in her ear, she held her breath. She doesn't know one thing about this person. But the one thing he can give her is a better choice than the one she was asked to do. Turning her head with one of her inhuman eyes looking at him she asked.

"And....what would I have to do?"

~~~~~~

"MEY-RIN!?! Come on its Sebastian is going to get mad if you are not up yet!?"

Hearing her co-worker Finny, as he opened the door calling out to her as she was fast asleep, Mey-Rin rose slowly as she massaged the tip sides of her head. She hasn't had a dream in so long, but why on earth is she having that flashback now? Getting up herself dressed and wearing her maid outfit. I suppose maybe the reason she is having that dream now is that she seems more open about herself.
