Her Butler

Her Butler, Liar

"Mistress-" He attempts to begin.

I cut him off again, my gaze colder than even my tone. "Shut up. We'll talk about this later."

Just then, his wife bursts through the door. He turns as she flings herself at him. "I can't believe it's you!!" She yells, a smile lighting up her features. I watch, coldly, as he attempts to calm her down. He casts a glance at me, but I grab my coat from the bed and walk out of the room, slamming the door behind me. The minute it's closed, I take off running. Tears run down my cheeks, and I sob, not paying attention to where I'm running.

He.... I can't believe he... The pain tears at my heart. I trusted him, gave him something invaluable to me, and he repays me with this?! Hiding a wife and a sister?!

That's what I get for trusting a demon, I think bitterly. He's meant to lie and cheat. Probably never loved me anyhow.

Lies. All lies.... But, somehow, I believed them. Somehow, he lied so expertly that I never even suspected it.

But how the hell did he manage it anyway? Either he broke our contract, or... or...

No. He does NOT love you. I think bitterly, chiding myself for even thinking of the possibility of that. He made that quite clear when he lied to me.

Something wet lands on my hand. Not warm like my tears, but cold, like rain. I look up; dark storm clouds have blocked out the sky, and raindrops fall faster and faster. The wind picks up, whipping my hair around my face, so it is partly shielded from the rain. Lightning flickers, and thunder rumbles.

I do not move.

Rain is falling in torrents now, crashing against my body in sheets of ice cold water, running down my face, masking my tears. I stand still, letting my now completely-soaked hair plaster itself to my skin. I was so foolish, so idiotic. If only had I waited, maybe I would have seen this coming. Maybe I would have realized, Sebastian is a demon. He cannot love people. Maybe.

If only.

My laughter is dark, hateful. I did know; I just never took the warning signs seriously. I just wanted to believe that there was something in this world I could have.

There's a reason why Ciel left. And it wasn't because he thought I was better off alone.

It was because I killed our parents.
