Hiya, my dears! I hope that you will enjoy my very first fanfic, Tainting the Light. I have come to have quite the crush on Sebastian, so smexy:) As of right now I do not have a particular direction for this story but I am going to let the characters lead me, so here's hoping I don't make a mess of this. Please feel free to leave me comments, good or bad. I will warn you though I have a pretty sensitive soul so please try to stay kind. Also, I must warn all of those reading that at some point my story may get pretty twisted, and I don't have a filter so please keep that in mind. I'm not out to offend or upset anyone, just here to share the love of reading and writing, so if dark and cruel isn't your thing, I gave you a warning. Lastly, I do not own Kuroshitsuji or it's characters. This story is just a fanfic based off of Yana Toboso's characters. Well, hope you enjoy, my lovelies:)
It had been a full week since Catherine came to the Phantomhive manor. The Lord Earl made sure to get her background checked quite swiftly and before she knew it she was given a servant's room and a maid's outfit. She looked around her room and smiled, her hopes were being realized, she would devote herself to helping the young master, after all what good is being blessed with life if one cannot help another. She prided herself to be very accommodating whenever possible. From homeless animals in need of shelter to people needing help with daily chores, she was always such a reliable child. And now she would continue her journey and be the upmost best maid she could be.
As she finished tying her white apron around her waist, she smiled and headed out the door. She came right up against a solid wall of flesh and looked up. There was Sebastian looking down at her with a irritated look playing on his face. "Good morning, Sir Butler, I hope the day sees you well.", she said hesitantly smiling. She didn't know why the handsome butler took ill to her right away but wanted to make a point to somehow smooth him over. Everyone else in the household took to her right away and Catherine already came to liking each one of the servants and their quirkiness. It would sadden her if Sebastian could not become friends with her as well, after all they both wanted nothing more than to help the child Earl. "Miss Catherine, you need to go straight away to the ballroom and scrub the floor, we will be entertaining Miss Elizabeth in a few days' time and the ballroom needs a good scrubbing.", the butler said and briskly turned on his heel and walked away. "Right away, Sir Butler.", Catherine called after him, saluting his back. Sebastian turned around at once and swiftly approached her. "Miss Catherine, I demand that you stop calling me "Sir Butler". It is completely inappropriate seeing that as the butler I am the head servant. Have you no respect for your superiors. Or could it be that you were raised in a barn, after all you showed up here unannounced from the start, would not leave when turned away and made a spectacle of yourself in front of the young master. Do act with some decency befit a servant of the Phantomhive Manor, or I will not hesitate to send you back whence you came from", he said inching closer and closer to her with every word until her back was up against the wall. Catherine gulped and gazed directly into Sebastian's ruby eyes. She didn't understand why she felt so threatened, so scared as if she was a child about to open Pandora's box. Her eyes would not leave his though.
His shadow engulfed her small frame, as he sought her soul in those innocent blue eyes. So pathetically pure, too innocent for even this world of deception and lies. He relished briefly in the fleeting nervousness he caused her. "Be nervous my dear, for you have no idea what I am capable of, I am a hunter and you are nothing more than my prey. I will make your soul cry out in anguish, I will blacken the happiness in your smile. I will snuff out the light in those sapphire eyes.", he thought to himself. Before even he had realized his arm went up and rested above her head, imprisoning her thus farther. "I..I..I'm so very sorry, Sir!", Catherine managed, starting to feel lightheaded. She never had been this close to a man, outside of hugging her father. The look in Sebastian's eyes scared her, she wanted to flee from him as fast as possible, but if she did that then their relationship could never be established.
This woman was either so pure she didn't realize the danger she was in or just plain dense, most humans would have tried escaping by now. It is a soul's automatic reaction to seek refuge from a demon's presence, whether the human them self is aware of it or not. But here this young woman stayed, awaiting her fate. Her petal pink lips quivered ever so slightly, drawing the demon's attention. Those soft lips looked in need of rough kisses. They unintentionally begged to be bruised under passion's demand. Unfortunately for her, she would never know the type of pleasure he could arouse in a human because he only had pain and heartbreak in store for this mortal. His determination returned and with that, lost all dirty musings "It's quite alright, just don't let it happen again.", Sebastian said removing his arm and stepping back. "I will get to the ballroom right away", Catherine said bowing deeply, "Thank you for correcting my mistake, Sir.". Catherine preceded down the hall, doing everything in her power not to bolt away from the domineering butler.
Catherine got straight to work on cleaning the ballroom floor. It was sure to take her the whole day with how vast it was. It was more magnificent then any ballroom she had ever encountered before. Her parents would often go to formal parties and occasionally bring her just so she could be acquainted with the ton and then she was always made to leave. They never actually let her partake in the parties though, believing that it would soil her modesty. She often dreamed of how it would feel to dress up in a ridiculously large ballgown and dance the night away with friends. It seemed so delightful and fun. "Oh, I shall never get this task done if I spend all day daydreaming.", she thought to herself. With that she tied her skirt up around her legs, made sure her red hair was tightly secured in her bun and began the process of making the floor sparkle. A few hours later, Mey-rin came and entered the ballroom. "Oh, Catherine, you should eat something, you have been cleaning all the day long and haven't had a bit to eat.", Mey-rin said from the doorway. "Thank you for your concern, Mey-rin, but I must finish my duty first.", Catherine said looking up and smiling at the maid. Finny joined Mey-rin at the door, "Mey-rin is right, you are going to make yourself sick if you don't take care of yourself and eat." "Oh, you both are so kind, I assure you I am just fine.", Catherine said wiping away a piece of hair that had falling into her face. "Well, we are done with our jobs, perhaps we can help you get done if we help.", Mey-rin commented as she joined Catherine in the middle of the room. "Mey-rin, you really don't need to do that, I shall feel bad." "Nonsense, you have only been here a week and I already feel as though we are good friends and friends help friends out, that they do.", Mey-rin said getting down on her knees and picking up a sponge. Finny came over as well and together they started chatting and working to get the floor clean.
"What I don't understand is why Sebastian had you clean the ballroom all by yourself.", Finny stated, "Any other time it was always something he did himself because he is amazingly fast and efficient at getting big tasks done." "You are right, you are", Mey-rin chimed in, "Sebastian has seemed to be not taking a liking to you from the start Catherine, whatever did you do to him?". "I honestly have no idea, perhaps it's because of how I showed up, so unmannerly and inconsiderate.", Catherine said her eyes fixed on the floor in front of her. "But Sebastian has always had the upmost patience with us, each and every time we make a blunder.", Finny answered, "It must be something else, I just can't understand how he cannot find you most agreeable. It would be hard not to like you Catherine, you are such a kind person, if you don't mind me saying so." "That's very sweet of you Finny, thank you.", Catherine smiled making Finny blush. "I'm sure Sebastian will come around once he sees how genuine I am at wanting to help the Phantomhive household, at least that is what I am hoping.".
"And pray tell, how will you help me understand how serious you are at wanting to be a Phantomhive servant when you can't even be competent enough to do one simple task and even enlisted the help of the other servants in this house?', Sebastian said sternly entering the ballroom. "Sir Sebastian we wanted to help Catherine, we were the ones who insisted.", Mey-rin said rising with Finny. "That will be enough. You two, go see to setting the table for dinner. I would like a word with Miss Catherine alone.", Sebastian said keeping his eyes darkly on Catherine. "Right away, Sir. Come on, Mey-rin.", Finny said throwing a sympathetic look towards Catherine. Once both servants left the ballroom, Sebastian strode over to the young woman who still sat on her knees on the floor. She slowly looked up at the annoyed butler. "What is the meaning of this, you spent the entirety of the day in this room and it looks as if you haven't made any progress at all.", Sebastian said coolly. "You aren't content with my work, Sir?", Catherine said sadly, "I shall continue until it's up to your standards then." "My dear, I don't think you could ever begin to meet my standards, I just don't comprehend what everyone sees in you. You are ill-mannered, stubborn, and apparently a poor worker." Sebastian stated. Catherine's eyes began to fill up with tears but she refused to let them fall. What type of servant would she be if she broke down every time she got a bit of criticism from her superior? She began to stand up.
"Please, stay right where you are, there is no need to stand, you are more pleasing to the eye in your current position.", Sebastian smirked. She was but a human and humans belonged beneath him. She needed to learn her place in the presence of a demon. She needed to realize that this was his territory and until she fled from the darkness, she would slowly be entangled in it. He saw the water brimming her big blue eyes, threatening to fall at the slightest provocation. He slowly crouched down until they were eye level. "What is this, are you that sensitive to allow your emotions to consume you when faced with difficulty. This will not do.", Sebastian said reeling in his prey. His words were just enough to get a single tear to roll down her rosy cheeks. He reached out and brushed it away with the tip of his gloved thumb. He allowed the back of his fingers to gently rub the soft skin on her face. Catherine's breath caught in her throat. His hand felt so welcoming, like a fire on a cold winter night. She allowed herself to drown in the sensation. What was this feeling that began to creep over her body, it was an unfamiliar feeling, both scary and exciting. Her heart clenched tightly, begging her to come to her senses. The feeling alarmed her. She suddenly felt as if a part of herself may be in danger. She opened her eyes and reached up to grasp his hand, but before she could touch him, he had removed his hand and stood. "Miss Catherine, do finish your responsibility before retiring for the night. A Phantomhive servant should be of the utmost quality, befit for the young Master, that will be all.". Sebastian walked away and closed the door behind him. Catherine fell back on her bottom and placed her hand over her chest where her heart fluttered rapidly. She could not begin to understand what was coming over her, was it some kind of magic, was it a curse, should she be happy or should she be frightened. Some subconscious part of her mind screamed out to her, warning her of some unforeseen threat. What exactly was happening? And did she even want to find out?
