Chapter 4

I saw 3 little kittens hiding behind the boulder, helplessly meowing. It touched my heart. "Sebastian. Look." I said, waving my hands. He walked closer to me and when he saw the kittens, I saw a blush rise up to his cheeks.

He immediately picked up the kittens and sat down. He gently stroked the kittens fur. "What beautiful creatures, those round eyes, wagging tails, those soft paws." He mumbled while fiddling with their paws and fur.

"So you like kittens?" I asked him. He nodded as he continued to pet them. "Do you want to take them with us." His eyes widened then turned back to normal. "It's alright."

I nodded and sat down next him petting the kittens on his lap. I let a small chuckle slip out of my mouth.

"We should head back." He said, gently placing the, now asleep kittens back onto the grass. He stood up and patted his suit and started heading back.

"Sebastian!!! Is that really you?!" I heard someone call out from behind. As I was about to look back, Sebastian grabbed onto my wrist and held me up against himself. I looked up at him and back at where the sound came from.

A slender figure, similar to Sebastian's walked up. The owner of the figure had long red hair. Glasses and shark-like teeth.

"Oh, Sebastian! My love. It really is you!" The female said. Sebastian's grip around me tightened when the female got closer. I slightly flinched at the strength of his grip. "Do you guys know each other?" I asked Sebastian.

The female walked over to us and said, "Who is that? Sebastian? Are you cheating on me with another woman?" I looked at the woman, who was wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, in shock as Sebastian suddenly picked me up bridal style. "We have to go." He blankly stated to me.

I nodded and held onto him. "Sebastian. My love. Nooo~" The woman dramatically said. Before I knew it, Sebastian crouched down and the woman hovered over us before falling flat onto the grass. She got up and wiped another tear, giving me a death glare, before getting up and patting the dust off.

"How dare you stand in between our love!" The woman exclaimed. I quickly rose my hands in defense and said, "It's really not what it looks like. I swear. You can have him. Really." I quickly stated.

Sebastian sighed and said, "Leave us alone, Grelle." his voice was husky and I saw the woman's nose start to bleed. She wiped it with her handkerchief and said, "Oh, Sebastian, stop trying to seduce me." She said, hugging herself and squirming around in circles.

Sebastian ignored her and started walking away. We walked down the hill and back into the main streets where Sebastian elevated me down. I thanked him and we started walking.

"Your girlfriend is cute." I said looking down. "Young master, there must be a misunderstanding. She isn't my girlfriend in anyways. In fact, she is a male." I looked up at him in shock.

"T-That was a male?" I asked him. He nodded and said, "Indeed, young master." That smile of his disappeared and turned into a calm face.

"What was all that commotion about?" I asked. "He's from the 1889s. His name is Grelle Sutcliff. He's a Grim Reaper." I nodded and asked, "How do you become one?" His facial featured didn't change.

"When you take your own life. It's a punishment." He blankly stated. I didn't say anything and looked down at my feet.

"I'm jealous..." I mumbled to myself. "Of what?" He asked with a questioning look.

I just shrugged it off and said, "Oh, I didn't mean to say it out loud." He nodded and we headed back home.

We arrived at home just in time. My father and his friends were set on the table and I was the only one left to join. "Good evening, ma'am, sirs." Sebastian greeted everyone with a bow. My father had a questioning look on his face.

"Dear, this is Sebastion Michealis. He is Y/n's personal butler. Sebastian this is my husband, Mark Smith." My mother politely introduced them to each other.

Still bowing down Sebastian said, "It's a great pleasure to meet you, sir." My father looked content. "Well, indeed. You are free to leave now. Y/n, would you care joining us?" My father said. I nodded and sat down and Sebastian walked out of the house into the front yard.

My father stood up and said, "Dear father, may you bless this food you've gracefully given us today. May this day, you've rested, be restful for us all. In the name of the Lord. Amen." Everyone said an 'amen' after him and my father sat back down.

We all started to eat the bread and the adults drank wine. I sat there not wanting to eat. In the middle of dinner, my mother tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Are you feeling alright?"

I looked at her and said, "I'm having a stomach ache. I'm sorry everyone." I said standing up, "I'm not feeling too well. May I excuse myself?" I ask my father. He nods and gestures me to leave and rest. I thank him and head to my room.

I walked over to my bed and jumped on it and turned over to face the ceiling. I got out of bed and opened my crafts drawer and took out a blade and my scar removal cream from another.

Right there and there, I slightly cut open my skin and place the blade on my table. I took out a strip bandage and placed it onto the new wound before it stained my sleeve.

I sighed and gently removed the bandage and applied the cream onto the wound and placed the bandage back.

I quickly put all the things back into their places and closed all the drawers. I threw away the left overs from the strip bandage and laid down in bed. I rolled from side to side trying to fall asleep, but couldn't bring myself to do so.

I got up again and sat down on my chair in front of my table and took out a piece of paper and pencil. I started sketching random lines, which eventually turned into Sebastian holding the 3 kittens. I looked at the picture and placed it back down in satisfaction and went back into bed.

I felt my eyelids get heavier with each second and fell asleep.
