The Demon Inside

Chapter 5

*Sebastian's POV*

Once you had dropped off the building materials you quickly returned to Ciels study where you had recently left him with his morning tea.

The moment you knocked and entered Ciel began speaking "How's our new maid doing?".

"Very well. Last night she disposed of some intruders that were after your life, and right now she's rebuilding the wall that Finny destroyed." You explained.

"Ahhhhh so I was under attack last night. Your getting too relaxed Sebastian, you missed someone trying to do away with your masters life" Ciel smirked in a teasing way at your miss-step.

"I assure you it won't happen again my young lord." You gave him a deep bow in apology.

"Onto a more important note. I plan on heading into London today, I need to go back to where we found (Y/N) to collect any evidence to either convict or release her. I want this case over quickly" Ciel changed the subject.

"Of course my young lord, I shall prepare a carriage right away" you stood from your bow and but left your hand placed over your chest.

"And inform (Y/N) she'll be coming along with us" Ciel turned and gazed out the window.

You froze at his word, when you spoke again you chose your words very carefully "Master Ciel are you sure that's a wise decision".

"Yes she's coming. No arguments" he said shortly.

"Understood I'll retrieve her and then prepare the carriage, I'll send (Y/N) to get your coat" you excused yourself and then left to fulfil your tasks.

*Time Skip*

*(Y/N) POV*

After a full morning of rebuilding the kitchen you were then tasked by Sebastian to help Ciel prepare for a day out in London, you had to use all of your restraint to not kill the stuck up little brat of a child and eventually your were... rewarded to a day out in London with them. Much to your displeasure. You didn't know what they were doing in town and was just told to follow and wait.

The carriage ride was long and tedious with Sebastian being uncomfortably close to you and Ciel, giving you dirty looks for "corrupting" his butler. But you made it without pulling all your hair out and was now walking behind Ciel and next to Sebastian, who was still uncomfortably close to you, so close that your gloves hands brushed up against each other with an unwanted spark every time.

You felt eyes on you from the public, the envy on there faces was clear as day and you could feel it digging into your very soul, but how could you blame them. Your whole outfit probably cost more than what they would earn in there entire lives and you knew this from experience, before you were suspected of murder your were one of them, much less social but still one of them.

"Ignore them, they're just jealous" a low whisper from Sebastian filled your ears.

You jumped away your head flicking round to meet his eyes with your own "yes I figured. You forget that I'm from here" You rolled your eyes at him.

However as you did this a flash of red caught your eye as it disappeared into a near by ally way. You squinted in the direction but when nothing else caught your attention you shook it off and continued walking.

Looking back your eyes caught the scene of some young children that were playing in a nearby alleyway, their clothes were torn and dirty, but they didn't care they were having too much fun. In all your years wandering the earth you had never really taken the time to stop and look at something like this and it intrigued you.
