The New Beginning

The Unexpected Guest

Annalise walked down to the main hall where the guest was waiting. Sebastian followed her and smiled. "You seem flustered my lady." She sighed as his hand brushed against her sides. Annalise shook her head and looked at the girl in front of her. Behind her was a man with long, grey hair. "The Undertaker? What are you doing her?" He cackled. "You know what the price is!" She looked up to Sebastian and he bowed. "As you wish lit-my lady." He smirked teasing her. "Now if it's a laugh you want, I will have to ask that we go outside." The girl licked her lips as she stared what seemed to be straight through her. "Uh Sebastian, why not just go in another room as it may storm today." Sebastian bowed and walked to the dining room. About an hour of Annalise standing there with the girl went by and the Undertaker burst out laughing. She opened her mouth to speak, but the gaze felt like it was piercing her soul. Annalise took a step back and the girl stepped forward. She felt her heart racing as she tried to stay calm. Annalise took a few more steps back extremely uncomfortable. She bumped into something and she felt hands rest on her shoulders, so she looked up. It was Sebastian who could see her fear as she began shaking. He bent down and held his hand out. Annalise nodded and began tapping on his hand. She was tapping out a message in morse code. 'Sebastian, this girl scares me. Please do not let her near me while I am alone.' He took her hand in his which made her blush and tapped out his message. 'Yes, my lady.' The girl grinned still staring at Annalise, which sent chills through her spine. Annalise couldn't tell if her eyes were black or just a very dark brown. Sebastian knew something was wrong so he made sure to stay by Annalise's side until the Undertaker and the odd girl left. It turns out, the Undertaker just stopped by to visit Annalise and hear a good joke, but that girls gaze began to haunt Annalise.
