Woman Long Lost

Trancy Chapter 21

Lorna was met at the door by Claude who let her in. She walked past him not uttering a word to him as she past him. Alois ran up to her jumping to her wrapping his arms around her waist. "Lorna Phantomhive! How I've longed to meet you! You look even better than your brother! I didn't expect him to actually let you come alone. Don't you have a butler? Surely you have a contract as he does." Lorna stood firmly looking down at the boy. "My contract is done. I have no need for one any longer." He moved back letting go of her scowling at her. "What do you mean? Why are you still alive if your contract is finished?" She didn't answer him which only angered him. He turned to Claude with anger. "Show her to her room Claude! I want her to dinner by the time it is ready this evening." Claude bowed to him. "Yes your highness." Lorna followed Claude but Claude was stopped before he could go far. She didn't listen into whatever command Alois was giving him but just continued after Claude when he began leading her again. He held the door open to her room for her letting her walk in first. He walked in after closing the door. She turned to him putting her bag on the bed. "Your soul. It is owned by a demon. I assume that is why you no longer have a contract? Simply because there is no need for one?" She smirked at him moving her weight onto one foot placing a hand on one hip. "Cleaver one aren't you. I suppose you are the demon of the Trancy manor?" Claude moved closer to her. "Yes, I'm Claude Faustus. But you may just call me Claude. The contract may have been terminated because of your soul being claimed by a demon, but I can assure you that the mark is still there. It may even permanently be there. Usually we demon like to make humans in visible places." He stepped even closer to her and grabbed her chin with his thumb and index finger. He moved her head side to side looking at her. "Where were you marked?" She smacked his hand away taking a step back. "Like hell I would tell you." He gave her a blank start as she gave him a small glare. "I see. My master shall be hosting a ball tomorrow night. It is a costume ball. I shall have Hanna bring in a few costumes for you to pick from. Your brother shall be attending as well. My master has taken quite an interest in you two." She scowled at him. "My brother will not fall into the hands of the likes of your master." Claude gave a small smirk. "We shall see won't we? Even so, your soul seems much delicious. Taking a demons soul is very pleasing. A claimed one anyway. It amazes me that they would let you go so easily." She crossed her arms under her chest giving him a glare. "They didn't have a choice." Claude chucked. "Of course. Well, I should be on my way then." She watched him leave and waited for him to fully leave the room before she relaxed.

Lorna only had to wait a few minutes before Claude came to get her. He escorted her to the dining hall where she sat across the table from Alois. He was delighted to see her and smiled brightly at her. "It's so good to have you at my table Lorna!" She sighed placing her hands in her lap. "What is it you want me for Alois?" He Lost his happy demeanor quickly giving her a dark look. "You interest me Lorna. I've heard you've lost your humanity as well. I want you to serve me." Lorna jumped out of her seat but Claude was quickly behind her grabbing her wrists holding them behind her back. "You little brat! Like hell I'll ever serve you! I serve no one. I only protect those dear to me." Claude moved her wrists to one hand sliding his hand around her placing it over her stomach. "It seems you have given birth some time within the year. Is this why you're here?" She tried to step back on his foot but he just stepped back with her. Alois jumped up in joy. "You have a child?! Why didn't you say so?! I want to meet it!" She growled at the two trying to fight out of Claude's hold. "Neither of you will lay a hand on my child!" Alois pouted at her. "You're no fun. Claude, go have her change. I'm tired of looking at her in those ridiculous clothes." She growled lashing around. "I'm not your dam maid!" She fought to and fro lashing around in Claude's hold as he dragged her down the hall to her room. He kept a firm hold on her till they got to her room. He threw her in and locked the door behind him as he walked in. "I would advise you to obey my orders along with my master's." She glared intensely at him. "Like hell I will." He stepped closer to her causing her to step back. "I have your uniform on the bed. Can I trust you to change in my absence?" She looked at the uniform before back at him. "I'm not about to become some kid's maid. I do enough for my brother. I came per request of your master and that is that." He sighed taking his glasses off. "Very well then." He began walking towards her and she dove around him. He bent down catching her skirt but she let it tear in his hold to get away. She booked it for the door dodging every grab at her he made. It wasn't until She was at the door and had it unlocked that he slammed the door shut on her and trapped her against the door. "This is your last chance. Do we do this the easy way, or the hard way?" She glared at him throwing a kick his way. He quickly caught her leg moving closer to her. "The hard way it is then." He turned her around and pushed her against the door. He began undoing her dress but ever bit of resistance she tried was futile. "Your breasts are still nice and plump, even after having a child. Interesting." She glared at him over her shoulder. He began unlacing her corset after dropping her dress at her ankles. He looked down at her underwear. "These won't be necessary here." He grabbed the edges of them and began pulling them down. She panicked more and grabbed his hands. "What are you doing?!" He looked up at her still holding onto her underwear. "In this household. These undergarments are not necessary. The master finds them quite a nuance." She sent him a menacing glare. "I don't care what that bastard thinks! I'm not taking them off!" He sighed standing up over her letting them go. She turned towards him holding onto her loose corset. "You are quite stubborn. How does your brother or his butler put up with you?" She scoffed at him. "Because I make my own demands. I'm not a dammed maid or servant of any kind. I may bake every once in a while for certain people but that's it." He hummed in thought. "I see. Then you have much to learn. Now get dressed." She scowled at him. "Were you listening to nothing I said?!" He grabbed her wrist pulling her to him. "I suppose I shall dress you myself." She tried to pull out of his grasp but he just grabbed her corset pulling it off her. He wrestled with her to the bed holding onto her wrists. She tried to fight back and hit him but him having a hold of her wrists would just push back and block her attacks. She was backed up until she tripped and fell onto the bed where she was truly trapped. The wresting didn't stop though. The two looked over as the window flew open as Sebastian jumped in. Claude jumped away as Sebastian kicked at him. Sebastian grabbed Lorna's arm pulling her to his chest trying to hide as much of her body as he could. "I would appreciate it if you didn't make advances on my wife." Claude looked down at Lorna's back before looking at the two. "I see. My apologies. My master has simply requested she dress in this outfit and work for him in her stay. If you will speak to her it would put us at ease." Sebastian nodded. "I will do so." Claude nodded leaving the room. Lorna sighed once he was gone. "Thank you Sebastian. I thought he-" She was cut off by his lips on hers. She grabbed his arms returning his sudden kiss. The kiss was short as he moved back and looked down at her. "How terrible. To think I would let some other demon lay a hand on such delicacies as these." He slid his hands down to her chest cupping her breasts. She instantly grew irritated at him. "That's what you're worried about?!" He looked at her with a smile. "Of course not. I worry about you too my dear, but he just stripped you almost bear." She sighed grabbing his hands. "Why are you still here?" He stood up letting her breasts go. "It would do you well to do as they say Lorna. I understand you don't want to and are repulsed by such a thing, but it will do us well." She sighed nodding. "Alright." He watched her grab the dress and slip it on. He chuckled walking up behind her and began doing up the buttons in the back. She closed her eyes as he tied the apron around her waist." She turned to him placing a hand on his chest. "Now go. You and my brother shall be by tomorrow." He nodded giving her a peck before quickly leaving out the window. She shook her head sighing. "What is with men and my windows?" She opened the door and looked to the side seeing Claude standing next to the door. "I'm dressed." He nodded leading the way down the hall. The halls were dark but neither needed a light to see.
