I was watching him close the door behind himself. He turned to me and noticed my gaze but I didn't shift it. My life now basically lies in his hands. He probably won't kill me, unless his master orders him to but he can make my life a living hell. And I must say I avoid that place at all costs.

"Alright. If you want to say something, just spill it." I was on my guard. Waiting for his next move. He just turned his back to me and began walking down the hallway. I followed him and waited for him to speak.

"We have to take care of your clothes first. But that will be impossible until our delivery comes. You can spend that time in my- ours room. We can't have you doing the chores in.. that." My eyebrow twitched in annoyance. He was the one picking the outfit for me!

"I can't believe we are gonna have to share a room."
I would much rather stay in the hallway during nights than share a room with him. And he will be always watching me. I can slip up any time.

"Yes, that is quite against my taste but it is my master's order." Maybe I can take some books before he will lock me in that room again.

"Hey, can we stop in the library? I want to have something to fill in the time gap." He stopped in his tracks.

"Are my books not enought for you? "
"I have read them all already." We was still. Then he started moving again.

"Very well then, let us get you some books. It will keep you occupied, right?"

"Yes, it will. And after the fabric arrives, could you bring it to me along with a needle and a string?"

"I will."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me, it is a neccesary thing we cannot ignore." Hmph, if you think so. But this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. They actually kind of trust me. About not killing them, I mean. And Sebastian is pretty intresting. I wonder what animal form does he have. He was really fast in the battle. And has kind of soothing voice. What would it be like if he was singing? Maybe I could ask him one day. But than again, he enjoys teasing me, so probably not. I shook my head slightly. I am thinking of stuff only friends would do. And I doubt that whatever we have could be called friendship. Maybe one day he would trust me fully out of his will? We will have to wait and see.

Sebastian's p.o.v.
After the ordered fabric came I carried it to Adele and then got back to preparing the dining room. Mey Rin made quite a mess this morning while cleaning the floor. I have no idea how she could get the soap water on everything in the room but I had to clean up since she went to pick up the fabric. I don't want to imagine what would she do while cleaning this up. I heard footsteps and opening door behind me. Adele was standing in the doorway. Her uniform looked much like Mey Rin's, except her skirt was shorter and not so wide. She was also missing headband and little bow around neck.

"May I help somehow?" I put down plate that I was holding and resumed my work.

"I am just about to finish here but I guess you could help with the dessert. Baldroy usually burns the food he makes. I do not wish to see what would he do in attempt of making a cake." Her face lightened up a little.

"Well, I am good at cooking but baking sweets is my speciality! But could you show me to the kitchen?"

"Of course, right after I finish." Let us see how skilled is she in cooking. Maybe I will put her on cooking duty to look after Baldroy, it will take some pressure off of me. And she will be under survaillance too, so I will know where she is all the time.

"Excuse me" I whipped my head in the direction where the voice came from. Man with bright green eyes, black suit, glasses and a sleek hair carefuly parted on side. William T. Spears. He always goes where that disgusting redhead goes.

"Have you seen Grell Sutcliff today?" Of course, why else would that reaper be here? He resents demons.

"No, we haven't." He caught the 'we' in my sentence and looked in Adele's direction as if he only now noticed her. He look like he wanted to say something, but just kept silent and ran away after leaping off the window. That was certainly strange.

"Ehm, who was that?"

"His name is William T. Spears. His a reaper. Have you never met one?" She dodged with her eyes.

"Not really, I have heard about them though." Has she been living under a rock? Well, it doesn't matter. I can always teach her thing or two. I noticed she wasn't exactly happy with how I reacted.

"That doesn't mean I am not experienced Sebastian." She is making it too easy.

"Of course I don't doubt that." My voice gained a bit of seductive tone. A barely noticable blush on her cheeks confirmed my success.

"I didn't mean it like that. However did we get on this topic." A slightly smug look made its way on my face.

"However indeed, but it does not matter. I am finished here and it is time for you to attend to your duties in kitchen. If you'd follow me." I put down cleaning stuff for Mey Rin to collect later and led Adele to lower parts of house hoping, Baldroy didn't burn anything today. He had his light moments.

Ciel's p.o.v.
It was raining outside. I couldn't see it from the dining room, because there are no windows but I could hear it. It was a very strong storm. I used to go to my parent's room on night's like this when I was little. They would always comfort me and tell me it is okay. That it will go away.
I am not scared of storms anymore. That is for kids.

My dinner was good, like always. I had a meat with vegetables and baked potatos. It was all perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice. But Sebastian sure took his sweet time today.
I set down my cutlery when I was finished and waited for the dessert. It startled me for a second when Sebastian didn't move and Adele took the plate but remembered that she now works here and Sebastian probably already gave her work to do.

She set a plate in front of me with a cheesecake on it. It was decorated with lemon on the side and a mint leaf and some light brown substance, probably caramel, on top.

"I gave Adele a task to prepare a dessert for you young lord. I would like to hear your opinion on it." said Sebastian. I picked up my fork an digged in. My fork traveled with a small piece of cream and base to my mouth. The taste was really good. It was sweet but somehow refreshing at the same time. The filling wasn't as heavy as it usually is and a hint of lemon brought a special taste to it. I bit down on the dessert slowly without showing any expression.

"Adele seems to be skilled in cooking. Possibly even more than you. She will be making my desserts from now on." I felt a bit of satisfaction when i saw Sebastian tried to hide he was annoyed with my compliment on her cooking. Adele however, wasnt as good as him in hiding her emotions. She obviously looked relieved. Her shoulders loosend, her hand not clutching anymore and a light smile on her lips. This can be a problem. Showing her emotions for everyone to see. I should tell Sebastian to teach her some things. If she will prove good enough, I may use her in some deliveries or as a back-up.

My train of thoughts was interrupted when Finny bargained- well, more like fell - into the room and swept mud all over the floor. Adele seemed taken aback, unlike me or Sebastian. It is kind of sad, that we got used to these things. The rest of Phantomhive's servants appeared in the doorway Finny fell trough.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"Oh, we are te-terribly sorry young master! I-It is only that Finny saw some scary figure in garden and ran here to-to inform you about, yes he did!" Servants started talking over each other and I exchanged glances with Sebastian. We needed no words.

"Stop this ruckus right now. There is someone I would like to introduce you to." I signaled to Adele.

"This is Adele , from now on, she will be working here as a maid." All eyes were on her so she curtiesed a little.

"I am delighted to work with you all." Maybe she could could keep them from destroying manor when we are not around.

"Oh we are too darling! Yes we are!"
Mey Rin answered for them all, since Finny and Baldroy were staring at Adele with blush on their faces. When they finally regained their composure, Baldroy just mumbled something, Finny flashed a big smile and they both sped away.

"Mey Rin, could you please clean the floor, I have some matters to attend to. Now if you'll excuse me." With that, Sebastian bowed to me and made his way out of the room to check the mysterious figure in garden.

"Y-yes, mister Sebastian!" Mey Rin also left and I continued eating my long awaited dessert.
