Sebastian x Reader, Obscurum Cantum renidet Part11

You could hear a slight chirp of a bird and the cold morning air caressing your face. You sighed and decided to wake up while you could. With a yawn you stretched and looked out your window with drowsy eyes. The sun was just coming up, and it must have been around 5 or 6 A.M. You stood up and walked over to your dresser which had your uniform folded neatly on top of it along with your underwear. Picking it up, you walked through the halls of the servants' quarters, and eventually you found the bathroom. You sat your uniform down on the counter and turned on the bathwater. It was so cold to the touch so you just stood in the bath and ran a wet cloth over your body, giving you goosebumps all over and waking you up. Shivering, you laid the cloth down on the edge of the bathtub and flipped your hair down and squatted so you could rinse it in the cold water that was spewing from the faucet. Slowly dampening your head, you stayed like that for a moment and finally began to think. 'I wonder whats for breakfast... I wonder if he...' Right then you heard a knock on the door and you jumped up a bit and accidentally hit your head on the faucet.

"(F/N), when you are finished will you please meet me in the kitchen?" Sebastian asked.

"Yes sir." You replied and rubbing the back of your head in pain.

You turned off the water and walked over to the cabinet where the towels were and wrapped one around your head and another to dry off your body. It was so nice feeling and quickly warmed up your body. You snuggled it a bit and tried to warm yourself up by rubbing it over your skin. When you were finished, you began on your hair. Your brought it out of the towel, letting it sloppily fall onto your back. It clung to your neck and you rubbed it softly with the towel. It dried slowly, but by the time you were finished, it was a tangled mess. You tossed the towel aside and picked up a brush. Its thin bristles ran through your hair slowly, over and over giving it a smooth, beautiful look. Setting the brush down, you quickly put on your uniform. Smoothing out the edges, you chuckled at how much more you liked this dress than your others. They were so uncomfortable and not even that fashionable. This dress was cute, and even better made than your others. It complemented your curves and fit perfectly everywhere. You truly loved this dress.

You cleaned up your mess with a smile and headed to the estate to meet Sebastian in the kitchen. He was wearing an apron, his white sleeves pulled up, and his hair softly accenting his face. He was peeling a potato and he turned his head back to look at you and he smiled at you.

"Well, I did not expect you to be up at this early hour."

"I was only following your orders Mr. Sebastian." you said slightly returning his smile while mentally you fist pumped and had a celebration that you actually did something that made Sebastian smile. "What would you like me to do?"

"Would you please shred these potatoes and place them in a bowl?"

You nodded you head , washed your hands and then headed next to Sebastian where there was a bowl and shredder. You picked up a potato and started to work quickly, hoping to keep up with Sebastian's quick pace. Luckily you had no trouble with shredding the potatoes, but Sebastian kept making you nervous when he would look over at you occasionally to see how much you had done. Finally he finished peeling the potatoes and began mixing a batter. You took this time to hurry up and finish shredding the potatoes.

You worked diligently the entire time. Sebastian Taught you a lot of tricks with the food and how to make the texture, taste, and smell better, and eventually you and Sebastian had cooked up a beautiful breakfast. It was Hash Browns, sunny-side up eggs, and a piece of toast with elderberry jam. It looked so good that it made your mouth water, but it was for Master Ciel. Sebastian set a cart with it and asked you to bring it to Ciel's study in exactly 7 minutes. He left and you quietly watched the clock that was in the kitchen.

On the 7 minute mark, you brought it up to Ciel's study. Ciel watched you closely as you brought the cart in, and Sebastian told him what he was eating and drinking that morning. You pushed the cart up to Sebastian and then stood there with your hands crossed waiting for a command, but none came. Sebastian handled Ciel's food and when the boy was finished, both you and Sebastian were dismissed.

You walked out and Sebastian closed the door behind you. Sighing, you began to push the cart back to the kitchen when Sebastian stopped you.

"I can handle these dishes. If you would assist Mey-Rin in any duties, I would be grateful. At this moment, she should be located in the gallery."

"Yes Sebastian." You nodded and Sebastian gave you a smirk that ran chills down your spine. 'What the heck was that about?' you thought as Sebastian took his leave.

You wandered mindlessly for awhile before you finally found the Gallery where Mey-Rin was sloppily dusting.

"Mey-Rin?" She turned to you and smiled.

"Ah! (F/N)!"

"Sebastian asked me if I would come in here and help you with your chores. Is there anything you would like me to help you with?"

"I, um, I don't know. I suppose you could wipe the table with a rag."

You picked up a rag and silently went to work. When you were finished, you noticed Mey-Rin was looking outside with a serious look on her face. Her eyes that were usually hidden by the glare-glossed glasses, contained a look that you had never seen her make.

"Mey-Rin?" You asked.

Her eyes lingered for a bit and then she looked over at you with a half-hearted smile. "Please excuse me, but I need to find Sebastian."

"I think he is in the kitchen. Is something wrong?"

"Thank you." She smiled again and began to leave.

"I'll come with you." You said stubbornly.

Mey-Rin began to protest against your decision, but then took a quick glance back at the window and then turned around and left. You followed after her as she quickly walked down the hallways, and then she came to a sudden stop. You looked up and saw Sebastian.

"Mr. Sebastian, should I get ready?" Mey-Rin asked Sebastian.

"Yes, and tell Finnian and Baldroy."

Mey-Rin dashed off and you looked at Sebastian "Is there something wrong?"

"Just the occasional intruder or spy. You see, many people don't take a liking to Master Ciel because of his age and history, so, sometimes an opposing company will send a spy or assassin after the young master." Sebastian said calmly "And, it is our duty as his servants to protect him at all costs. Oh, and if you would, in your bedroom, underneath your dresser, there is a saber that was made specifically for you. Once you have retrieved it, I would like you to position yourself at the front door and make sure no one comes in the manor."

You quickly nodded and ran off without thought, but as you ran, you began to think 'Take care of? Does he mean kill..?'. You stuck your hand in the slot underneath your bed and grabbed the saber and immediately ran to the front door of the main house. You stopped and took a breath as you slowly unsheathed the blade. It shined brilliantly and came out smoothly. You loved how it felt in your hands. Flicking it out and taking a fighting stance, you waited for someone to come. Not soon after that, a man slowly snuck out of the bushes and walked up to you with a gun in his hand and a smile on his face.

"Only the Phantomhives would put a woman outside to defend the house. Even so, I wonder how you noticed me. Ah, oh well, it's such a waste to have to kill a woman such as yourself." He stepped closer to you, holding the gun out to you and a smile on his face.

You smiled at him with anger "Interesting how you criticize my master, when you are doing a job like this And holding a gun to a innocent woman's head."

"It's not as if I wanted this job, but money is tight lately, and that little boys head is worth a lot, besides, it's not as if I wanted to stand here and get ready to kill you. I have never killed a woman once before. If you move, I won't have to do that you know."

"Yeah, I could, but it wouldn't do you a lot of good. and don't think that just cause I'm a woman that I can't fight." You quickly ducked down and made a swift move, and before the man could act, you cut his wrist deep enough to sever the tendon and make him drop the gun.

"F*ck." He said holding his wrist. It bled quickly and there was no use stopping it.

You frowned "Leave."

The man tsk'ed and looked down at his wrist with hesitation, but then began to turn his back.

"Punishment number two." You felt a small breeze and the saw Sebastian appear out of the side of your vision. You looked at him with confusion and surprise. "Do not let that man leave alive."

"Sebas..tian?" You asked hoping he wasn't saying what you thought.

"I understand that you have never once taken the life of a person, and have only used your sword in tournaments, but today, I would like you to use it for its real purpose. Kill this man."

You hesitated and stared at Sebastian, but once his eyes locked with yours, you knew that there was no other option. You clenched your jaw as the man took a step back with fear in his eyes. Taking another step back, he was about to make a run for it, but with just a step and lunge, your blade made contact with his heart.You stood there, and could feel the mans muscles relax through your blade. He coughed once and blood flew out from his mouth, only to land on your cheek and splatter. Blood seeped from the open wound in his chest and stained his shirt a oh-so familiar red. You pulled out your sword and watched him fall to the ground in a heap and make no more movement. In shock you rested the tip of your blade on the ground and watched your opponents body bleed as your body tried to shake off the feeling that was overcoming your head.

Sebastian grabbed your hand with your saber in it and brought out a cloth from his chest pocket and wiped the blood from your blade. Your eyes left the mans body and looked up at Sebastian. He was so calm in that moment, as if thousands had died by his bare hands alone. His eyes looked up from your blade and looked over your expression with pleasure, his hand still holding yours softly. He leaned in closely, making your heart race out of fear and confusion, and he lightly wiped the spot of blood that was beginning to dry on your face.

'Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi;
qui pius es factus, protho plaustisanet ut actus:
Miserere nobis.'

He smirked as if he could feel your pulse and then took a step away from you and released your hand. "Lunch will start in two hours. Please be cleaned up and be prepared to work." Sebastian turned his back to you and Baldroy appeared from around the corner and immediately wandered to you.

"Oy,--"

"Baldroy, would you please clean up this mess?" Sebastian said quickly.

Baldroy's mouth hung open and he nodded a yes to Sebastian. Sebastian went back in inside leaving you and Baldroy.

Baldroy looked over to you and took a step. "He had you do this, eh?..." You gave no response and he came over and put his hand on your shoulder. "It'll get easier. In the meantime, try not to think to much about it. It will only make the feeling worse." You looked up and him and nodded. "Here, I'll walk you to the servant house."

You shook your head no and picked up your blades sheath from the ground, slowly you out it away, and thought for just a moment about what exactly you had done, and the man that ordered it. Your mouth moved ever so slightly as if to speak but only could manage a silent sound. "Sebastian."

'Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi;
qui pius es factus, protho plaustisanet ut actus:
Miserere nobis.'
