Halloween Mischief

Leaf Pile!

There! The leaves are finally raked. Sebastian sighed. Once again, Finny the ‘gardener’ had messed up and somehow scattered the leaves from the trees. Fall had just started; the trees shouldn’t be this bare! So for the most of the morning, Sebastian had raked up all the leaves on the ground into one enormous pile. “Whee!” NO! Sebastian mentally shouted as a blur slammed into the pile of multicolored leaves. Whoosh!

            “Lily, get out of the leaves.” Sebastian barely controlled his voice as he glared at the now ruined pile. Which was actually still being ruined even more as Lily threw handful of leaves into the air and rolled around.

            “No, I’m good! Come join me!” Before he could protest, she pulled him down to the ground and sat on his back.

            “Young lady, I’m going to have to ask you to get off.” Sebastian growled. Liliy shook her head and continued throwing leaves.

            “No you don’t. Even if you did, I would have to say no.”

            “Why not?” He just barely growled.

            “Because, that.” Lily nonchalantly stated. Before he could ask what she meant, he heard another yell and the pile of leaves flew into the air again.

            “Whoop!” Whoosh! “Yeah! Let’s do that again!” This time, there were two people jumping onto the leaves. Sebastian could feel his eyebrow twitching at the sound of Finny and Sam kicking the leaves.

            “How about you don’t, and just say you did?” He slowly asked. He tried to get up, but then felt another body weight on top of his back. “Who’s on me?”

            “Me!” Sam smiled down at him, ignoring the fact that he was an angry demon.

            “I can kill you two right now, you know.”

            “Aw, Sebastian. Don’t be rude!” Finny chastised the butler. That threw him in for a loop and gave two more people the chance to jump into the pile.

            “Geronimo!” “Watch out below!” Bart and Mey Rin charged into what was left of the leaf pile, giggling.

            “You’re kidding me.” Sebastian deadpanned.

            “Hmm, Sebastian. It looks like you’re slacking on your chores.” Sebastian glanced up to see the young Earl standing in front of him with a smirk. He scowled.

            “Does it? ‘Cause it seems to me that I’m being held hostage here.”

            “Heh, I guess it depends on perspective.” Ciel noticed his three servants dancing around in the pile and the two siblings throwing leaves at everyone and everything. Which included Ciel himself. “Hey!” Once he drew attention to himself, he realized his mistake as he was also pulled into the pile.

            “Join us!” Lily and Sam shouted.

            “Let go of me!” He struggled to get out of their grip, but failed.

            “Join us!” The two tried to pull him into the nearest leaf mound, but he was also pulling the other way and so that failed.

            “NO!”

            “JOIN!!”

            “NO!”

            Why am I here? Sebastian grumbled to himself as he lay under the fighting children and the dancing servants.
