After scrubbing the huge ballroom floor for what seemed like an eternity, Catherine achingly climbed the stairs to the servants' quarters. She had never worked so hard in her life and her body was screaming at her for it. "I do hope Sebastian will find my job to be adequate enough for his liking.", she thought to herself. Why the butler seemed to loathe she could not begin to comprehend, but she would continue to make every effort to change that. She was almost to her room when she spotted a light coming from the end of the hall. Fearing another rough encounter with the stern man, she turned to flee and tripped over an untied boot lace. Before she could even attempt to stand up she heard footsteps swiftly approaching her. Not knowing what to do she kept her face down cast on the floor, praying silently that she could just disappear.
"My, my, what do we have here?", the familiar voice said, "Miss Catherine, are you not even capable of walking on your own two feett. Such a clumsy girl, aren't you?". Catherine slowly turned her head to face his. She let out a nervous laugh, "My lace seems to have come undone.", she whispered as she went to start tying her boot back up. "Your fingers are trembling, my dear, allow me?", Sebastian said reaching for her lace. "N-No, that's alright, I can help myself, thank you for offering though.". She didn't want any unnecessary contact with this masculine man, fearing her thoughts would start to become a mess again. "It's not very polite to refuse help from someone.", Sebastian said irritated. "Sir, do you always help the servants tie their shoes, if not then please don't give me any special treatment.", Catherine answered finishing lacing her boot. Sebastian grasped both of her forearms and made them stand abruptly. "Miss Catherine, the last thing I would ever do is give you special treatment, I was merely trying to be considerate, but alas I forgot how much of an ill-mannered child you are.", he whispered angrily, eyes transfixed with hers. Catherine couldn't take another scolding from Sebastian, her stubbornness was starting to bear its head. "Sir, I may not be a perfect person, but I am certainly not ill-mannered, I pride myself on being most respectful.", she spoke not letting her sapphire eyes leave his, "I don't know what I could have possibly done to cause you so much distain for me but I am trying to correct that." "You keep trying then Miss Catherine, try until you have exhausted yourself, try until you collapse under the pressure. You cannot begin to understand the dangerous grounds you are walking on.", Sebastian said evenly getting close to her ear and whispering, "I assure you, innocent Miss, you will lose this game.". Catherine buckled under the piercing gaze of his ruby eyes. The weariness of the day felt like a ton of bricks on her shoulders and the man in front of her started to grow fuzzy. Just before the world went dark she could have sworn she saw Sebastian's eyes change colors to a blazing purple color.
Sebastian watched as the young woman's eyes flittered shut, never letting her go. "Ugh, damn weak human woman.", he thought frustratingly, "Must you always be causing me a headache." He considered leaving the wench laying there on the floor but thought better of it. He wouldn't want the young master potentially finding out. He threw the sleeping form over his shoulder and carried her to her room. He plopped her on her bed and turned to leave but was halted by the dream induced murmurs coming from the redhead. "I'll win you over, Sir butler, somehow, watch and see.". She smiled in her sleep. He bent over her, taken in the sight of her features. He brushed a strand of hair away from her forehead and lowered his face until it was mere centimeters away. "You poor unfortunate human, don't you even realize the danger you are in. Run, run away, flee from this place before it's too late for your clean soul to be redeem.", he whispered to her before rising and leaving the room and the sleeping girl in the dark.
In her little dream world, Catherine was talking to herself as she cleaned the main hall. Everything was sparkling clean and bright. "Sebastian will definitely think I did quite an amazing job now.", she said twirling around and giggling. But just then the front door swung open and blackness began to seep into everything around her. There standing in front of her was a giant black bird. She tumbled backwards, trying to escape the bird who looked at her with hungry red eyes. Before she knew it, the bird had her up in its beak and flew out of the manor. She screamed and screamed, beating on the bird to release her, but to no avail. Finally, she was dumped in a giant nest. She looked around her and saw lifeless figures all around her, dead bodies were sprawled all over. She screamed and ran to the edge of the nest preparing to jump but there, waiting, was the perched bird who started to make its way over to her. "Please, don't do this, please. I beg you.", she pleaded with it. The bird cocked its head for a moment and then preceded to start plucking away at her tarnished dress, which now started to resemble a white rose. Each time the bird plucked at her more petals would fall off and blood began to stream down around her. All she could do was watch in horror as she began to grow lifeless. "Why?", was all she could mutter. "I told you to stay away, but you refused, now except your fate.", the bird spoke with his glowing fuchsia eyes. With that Catherine woke up, drenched in sweat. She breathed a deep sigh of relief. "Thank heavens it was only a dream.", she said trying to calm her racing heartbeat.
The morning sun filtered in through her window. "What ever happened last night?", she mused, "I was having an argument with Sebastian and the next thing I know it's dawn and I am still in my maid's outfit, did he carry me to bed?". The thought made her blush a deep crimson red. "I shall have to thank him, it's a new day, a fresh start is always best.", she thought as she popped out of bed. The moment she stood though she could tell that the strain she put on her body yesterday combined with not eating left her with a fever. "I can't be sick, I have to prove that I am a capable servant.", she thought. I'll make sure to eat and hopefully it will be enough to give me the energy I need to continue the day. She brushed out her hair and tied it up neatly and made sure her outfit had no wrinkles on it before heading out the door.
"Good morning, Catherine!", Finny said smiling from the servant's dining table. "Yes, Good morning, Catherine!", Mey-rin chimed in. "How's it going?", Baldroy asked. Tanaka sat at the head of the table, sipping on tea as usual. "Good morning everyone!", Catherine said cheerfully. "Oh, Catherine you look a tad bit on the tired side. Are you feeling well?", Finny asked looking concerned. "I'm just fine, thank you Finny. I am just a little achy from scrubbing the floor so long yesterday, but I wanted to make sure to do my best.", Catherine said smiling as she poured herself some tea. "So, what is on the schedule for today?", Catherine asked looking around the table. "The master had some important business to attend to out in town today, so we are to look after the manor and see to any chores that may need to be done.", Mey-rin answered. Catherine couldn't help but feel a tad bit relieved at the knowledge that the brooding butler wouldn't be around to scold her. "Um- Catherine, I need to make some flower arrangements for when Miss Elizabeth visits, would you care to join me in the garden?", Finny said nervously. "As long as there is nothing to be done in the manor I would love to accompany you, Finny.", Catherine smiled.
Out in the garden, Catherine basked in the warmth of the day. It was like being back home where the wildflowers bloomed all over the open meadows in every color of the rainbow. "How lovely!", Catherine uttered joyously. It was a stark contrast from the darkness of the manor. "I'm glad you decided to join me.", Finny said, "It's nice making another friend, especially when for years you were alone." "Oh, Finny, why ever would you be alone? You are such a kind person.", Catherine asked walking over to the gardener. "Ugh, well, It's nothing, it's in the past now. I owe it all to Sebastian for bringing me here and giving me a chance to make friends.", Finny said seeming lost in thought. "Sebastian, brought you here?", Catherine said shocked. It was surprising to say the least, or perhaps Sebastian just hated her. "Catherine, I don't know why Sebastian hasn't seemed to get along with you, he might be stern but overall he has been a nice person, maybe you should try to smooth things over with him.", Finny spoke. Catherine gave Finny's words some thought, "You know what, I think you are right Finny, maybe I haven't been fair to Sebastian, I need to do my best to change his impression of me. I'll shower him in kindness and compassion and then mayhap he will have a better opinion of me and even if he doesn't, I'll rest better knowing I gave it all my effort.", Catherine said smiling as they continued picking flowers.
They continued until they had made a bunch of arrangements and were sweating from the heat of the day. "I know of a little pond that is perfect for taking a dip after a long day out in the sun, do you want to take a quick swim?", Finny asked wiping the sweat from his brow. "Would I? I can't think of anything more delightful right now", Catherine said happily. "Follow me then.", Finny said as he ran off into the woods. Catherine chased after him all the while feeling like a kid again. Catherine came to an opening in the woods were sunlight filtered through the trees onto a sparkling little lake. "Ah, the water feels great, come on in.", Finny waved to her. Catherine dived in and before long the two were splashing about. It felt so refreshing to be able to relax and be like this with a friend. While Catherine swam, she thought of the ways she could win Sebastian over. Perhaps she could make him chocolates, no that might be inappropriate. Perhaps just simply apologizing for any misunderstandings, but that was just too simple. Maybe she will write him a heartfelt letter and slip it in his room before he returned with the master. That sounded perfect! With her plan in mind she looked forward to getting back to the manor.
"Whatever are the two of you doing out here?", an all too familiar voice broke her train of thought. "Sebastian, sir, we were just cooling off after picking flowers for the arrangements. We got hot, so I suggested taking a swim for a bit.", Finny said scratching his wet blonde hair. Sebastian didn't look at all pleased, he looked rather vexed. "Yes, well, this is not how servants should conduct themselves, you both are a sopping mess. Come along, we must prepare for dinner.", Sebastian said turning and walking back towards the manor. Catherine felt bad, she hoped that she wasn't bringing Finny down with her. She didn't want Sebastian's dislike for her to be taken out on the other servants. When they got back inside the manor she approached the butler. "Excuse me, Sir, I'm very sorry if we did something to upset you, Finny was just being kind to me.", Catherine said bowing. "Come with me, Miss Catherine", Sebastian said grabbing her arm and dragging her to an empty room. "I assure you, I could care less what you do on your free time, but don't you think it's a bit inappropriate as a lady to be swimming unattended with the opposite sex?", Sebastian said coolly. "I-I never gave it much thought. It just seemed like a fun time. Besides, Finny is such a nice man, it's absurd to think he would try….", Catherine spoke, her voice trailing off as she looked down at the floor. "Try what, my dear?", Sebastian asked grasping her chin and forcing her to look at him. "Um, well, I-I don't really know?", Catherine whispered starting to blush deeply. "Why, Miss Catherine, are you that innocent or just plain dense?", Sebastian teased, "You must know what goes on between a man and a woman at your age. The ins and outs so to speak." He continued stepping closer to her and started to whisper into her ear, ensnaring his prey farther. "The absolute pleasure that is felt between two writhing bodies.". Catherine's heart started to leap out of her chest, this was going too far, everything within her screamed that this was wrong, but she couldn't move from where her feet were planted. "Your mind may be innocent, but the way your breathing has increased, I'd say you want to know more, or perhaps even have a taste of the passion one gives to another.", Sebastian murmured turning Catherine's head ever so gently and placing soft kisses on her neck. The ground seemed to give way, Catherine felt like she was locked in some form of a magic spell. The air felt thick like honey and she moaned softly in her throat. Sebastian's kisses grew higher until he was almost at her full pink lips. She couldn't help but reach out to hold him for support, and in her stupor pulled him in closer until they were embracing. He gazed into her blue eyes and started to bring his mouth closer to hers. With eyes closed she waited to feel the warmth of his lips upon hers, but it never came. Her eyes fluttered open to Sebastian looking amusingly at her. "Sebas..", she started to question. "Tsk tsk, Miss Catherine, you naughty girl, I was merely giving you a demonstration on how easily a man can take advantage of a virginal maid, nothing more.", Sebastian chuckled, "I hope you have better clarification now.". With Sebastian's words the trance was broken and the enormity of what had just happened left Catherine wounded. "Please go and change out of those soaking wet clothes now, they are making a mess all over the floor, then you can help with the dinner preparations.", Sebastian said unaffected. Catherine couldn't take a single second longer in front of this man, shame and humiliation engulfed her and so she fled the room and the cruel butler, tears streaming down her face. Sebastian just smiled darkly. Perhaps he found a new way he could defile her pure soul, it would be all too easy. It would only be a matter of time before his plaything would be sullied and then he could just dispose of her once and for all.
