Alone in her room, Catherine let the tears fall freely down her cheeks. How could that man be so cruel? What did she ever do to deserve such treatment? All he was doing was jesting with her, did he not think about her feelings for one minute? She could visualize him now having a good laugh at her expense. That wicked, wicked man! She had never met anyone who provoked so many new feelings in her like Sebastian did. What fun was this for him, what was she not getting? She placed the tips of her fingers on her bottom lip and closed her eyes, lingering in the thought of that wretched person. Eyes as red as rich wine, hair as black as a raven's wing, lips that beckoned her to learn about desires she had yet to even taste, and his gloriously refined manly scent, like a primal beast that had rolled around in rose petals. She inhaled deeply, this wasn't good, she was losing her composure. How shameful! The confusion washed over her like a tidal wave. "It was all his fault!", she mused to herself as she threw off her wet clothes and started to dry off. No, perhaps, it wasn't his fault, she had herself to blame for the way she reacted. "I wanted him to kiss me, I wanted him to embrace me, it was my body that came alive with his touch.", she thought to herself and the knowledge made her blush deepen thus farther. "I am turning into a silly little minx.", she uttered. From now on she would just focus on being a kind and helpful person. Sebastian was nothing more than the master's butler and right hand man. She would do everything in her power to stay away from him so there would not be any further misunderstandings. After getting a clean outfit on, Catherine allowed herself a brief look in the mirror, "Keep your head held high and keep to the right path.", she encouraged herself and with that she left her room to go help get ready for dinner.
After dinner, the Master retired to his chambers to do some reading before bed and the servants were left with some free time. "Being able to participate in Miss Elizabeth's birthday ball should be really fun.", Finny said as they all sat around the servant's table. Catherine was pleasantly surprised that the young lord was permitting the help to be a part of the festivities. She had allows wanted to spend time dancing the night away with friends. She looked over at Mey-Rin who looked anything but happy about it. "What's wrong Mey, aren't you looking forward to the ball?", Catherine asked her. "Oh, not in the least, I have two left feet, I do.", Mey-Rin said. "I never have danced at a ball either, but my parents taught me some of the basic dances, would you like me to teach you?", Catherine said smiling at her. "I-I don't know Cat, do you really think you could teach me, I may be a loss cause." "Nonsense, you'll do just fine.", Catherine said grabbing her friend's hands and pulling her up. "This ought to be amusing.", Baldroy chuckled. Mey-Rin shot him a dirty look and tried to follow Catherine's lead. Before long both women were dancing about the kitchen and laughing all the while.
"I daresay, you seem to have picked up quite a knack for dancing, Mey-Rin, you even outshine your teacher.", Sebastian said as he stood in the doorway. "Oh, Sebastian, please don't say such things or I might mess up, I will.", Mey-Rin said blushing. Even though Catherine ignored him, the jab at her caused her heart to clench a little. "Yes, Mey you are a very quick learner, you shouldn't have any problem getting a nice gentleman to ask you to dance.", Catherine said smiling. "It's all thanks to you, Cat, thank you.", Mey-Rin said hugging her friend, "And I am quite certain that with your beauty and smile, you won't get any break from dancing at the ball.", Mey-Rin said to Catherine. Before Catherine could thank Mey-Rin for the compliment, Sebastian interrupted. "Unfortunately, with Catherine being the newest servant she will still have to attend to the daily chores and help serve at the ball." Catherine felt the full blow of his words. She thought the lord said that all the servants would be able to attend. "But Sebastian sir, didn't the Master say that everyone could come to the ball?", Finny chimed in. "Yes, but as the Phantomhive butler, I oversee the servants in this manor and the master will understand my decision regarding this matter.", Sebastian said getting a little irritated, "Now if you'll excuse me I have to see to tomorrow's schedule.". Catherine just watched him go and tried her best not to let her disappointment show, "It's alright, I'm sure there will be other balls." "Oh, Cat, let's all help you the day of the ball so that way you can join in the fun as well.", Mey-Rin said grabbing Catherine's hands. "Thank you so much, my dear friend, but it's clear that Sebastian doesn't want me to go and I'm sure there is a reason for it.", Catherine stated as she got up and started clearing the table. What was the true reason, that was the question. Perhaps it was time to write that letter to him, it might be just what was needed for them to start anew.
Sebastian pondered all the way to his room. Why did it even remotely bother him in any way imagining Catherine dancing at the ball? It frustrated him that he allowed that human girl more than a fleeting thought. He didn't have a moment to waste playing these irrational mortal games. Her presence was becoming more and more of a nuisance. He needed to fulfill the ultimate vile plan he had for her and break that woman once and for all. It was only a question of when he would do it. Women were the most complicated creatures, but even they were swayed with a few sweet words and the right touch. The thought of that redhead beneath him, begging for mercy of which she wouldn't receive, made his demon blood grow hotter. "Soon, lovely Cat, soon you will know just how weak and pathetic you truly are."
That night Catherine put a lot of thought into her letter to Sebastian, she wanted to get this horrible weight off her chest, once and for all. She disliked the knowledge that there was someone who seemed to hate her for no giving reason. This situation needed to be rectified at once. After sealing the letter, she grabbed her long brown robe and a candlestick and crept out of her room. She knew that it was quite late but also caught on to the fact that the butler never went to bed early. She just silently prayed that he wasn't in his room. As she made her way over to Sebastian's room, she felt more and more uneasy. Her soul seemed to be warning her of some unfulfilled fate that was yet to be. She took a big breath and continued on, not caring about anything other than mending the bad blood between the two of them. In the darkness, she could barely make out the butler's door slightly ajar. There was no light glowing from within the room and she wondered if Sebastian had already gone to bed. Holding the candlestick away from the door, she slowly peered in and to her relief saw the bed unoccupied. She tiptoed inside, cringing slightly at every creak the floor made beneath her feet. Over in the corner of the room she saw a writing desk and made her way over to it. She had only wanted to place the letter there and then leave but sudden curiosity pulled at her mind and before she could stop herself she was opening the drawer before her. When she peered in though, nothing was there but a few quills and some paper. She closed the drawer and started to make her way out of his room when she noticed something a bit strange. The bed almost looked like it was never slept in. The pillow had no indentation where a head would have been, but perhaps it could be fairly new. But the bed itself tucked tightly in looked untouched by anyone. She felt silly for letting her mind run away again with ridiculousness. Of course, Sebastian had to sleep, he was human after all. She turned to leave and was abruptly taken aback. For a brief flitting moment, she could have sworn she saw a flash of red from the window, it almost looked like a man. Something was not right here, she had to get back right away. Not caring about being quiet anymore she fled to the safety of her room. Behind the closed door, she calmed her racing heart. There was something more to this place, she just felt it, but something told her to not pry into it any further.
The next morning, she was woken by the sound of someone rapping at her door. "Cat, the Master wants to see you right away, he does.", Mey-Rin said. "Ok, thank you, Mey, I'll go to his study right away.", Catherine said rushing out of bed and into her maid's outfit. The last thing she wanted to do was dawdle when being called by the Lord. She ran all the way over to Ciel's study where he was sipping tea and reading a paper. "Aren't you a ball of energy, first thing in the morning.", Ciel commented briefly looking up from his paper. "I should say so, though I can't imagine how that is possible considering the late hour Catherine stayed up until last night.", Sebastian said smirking. Catherine flushed deeply, he must have seen the letter. Was she in trouble for entering the butler's room? Panic started to rise when the young Earl spoke, "I haven't the slightest clue on what you are referring to Sebastian, nor do I care, but what I would like to know is why you are attempting to stop my help from attending this nightmare that is being forced upon me when I said that if I have to suffer then so shall everyone else.". "Forgive me, my Lord, I only thought to have someone help serve drinks and such.", Sebastian said bowing deeply. "Since when, it seems to me that you are picking on my maid, why is this?", Ciel said giving Sebastian a questioning look. "No, my Lord, it's my fault, I haven't been doing my chores as well as I should be for a Phantomhive servant, Sebastian was not picking on me, he just wants to make sure I do my job accordingly.", Catherine spoke up before Sebastian could answer. "Yes, well, regardless, I expect ALL my staff to be present at this ball, that's an order. You are dismissed.", Ciel said returning to his paper, trying to suppress his amusement in the butler's agitation. "Yes, my Lord.", they both said and left the room.
Catherine no sooner walked out of the master's study and she was trying to flee from the wine-colored eyes that stayed on her. "Catherine, before you escape to start your daily chores, would you care to explain why you spoke up for me to the young master?", Sebastian called after her. Catherine halted in her tracks and slowly turned around to face the handsomely brooding man. "I was simply telling the truth, that's all. You made it very clear to me that my work is not up to par with a servant fit for this house.", Catherine spoke freely. Sebastian walked over to where the redhead was standing, making her heart start to skip a beat. "And exactly what, my dear, would make you think it was okay to enter a man's room in the middle of the night, unless you had some other more carnal intentions? You continue to not realize the implications such actions have on an innocent young maid.", Sebastian chided. "I only wanted to rectify the issues between us, nothing more.", Catherine said. Sebastian started to get irritated by her indifference towards him. "Somehow, I highly doubt that, Cat. I see how you look at me, with eyes that plead for me to do things to you that you have yet to experience. You want to feel my bare hand caressing your body, you wonder what flavor my kisses tastes like, you want to explore this new feeling I bring out in you, to feel all your nerve endings come alive under the control of my touch, you so desperately want to abandon all thought and reason and give in to desire, to allow yourself to moan and scream in the utter pleasure I gave give you.", Sebastian spoke huskily. Catherine was taken aback by Sebastian's vulgarity and forwardness, but she didn't want to lose her senses to his teasing again, that was what he was doing, wasn't it? She decided to feign ignorance, "Sebastian, whatever are you talking about? I haven't time for these games, I must see to my work.". Catherine turned to leave, but Sebastian grasped her wrist, spun her around and yanked her to him, leaving them chest to chest. She slowly peered up at him, questioning his motives. Sebastian lowered his head until his mouth was right next to her ear. "Simply put, my dear, you want me to FUCK you senselessly.", Sebastian whispered. Catherine couldn't carry on with this wicked game anymore, her knees started to buckle under the weight of his intensity. She felt as scared as a bird caught in a cage. The knot inside her core tightened, wanting to be explored, wanting release. These wanton feelings were too new and too frightening for her to try and understand. Not knowing what else to do, she slapped him hard across the face causing him to be briefly surprised. She took that moment and hurried away from him as fast as she could.
Sebastian couldn't believe that she just slapped him, he reached up to the spot on his face where it stung ever so slightly. If only she knew the fire that was welling up inside of him. The demon behind the mask was begging to come out and ravish that creature of the light. The more he got to see her reactions and facial expressions the more it made him want to play this game. Humans could be so entertaining, and this one was turning out to be quite the distraction. Torturing her into the darkness was going to be the greatest satisfaction he had felt in a while. The thought made his body grow ever hotter. He could hear the natural part of himself screaming to continue, continue on until that human was destroyed beyond recognition. His eyes flashed fiery fuchsia, and he had to take a moment to calm down before he straightened his tie and headed for the kitchen.
