White Maid (Rewrite)

His Butler & Maid, In Pompeii

A/N:

I swear- I have the next 20 or so chapters done- and that includes having to make a part 2 for the main story. The oneshots from here on out, that were not already in drafts, are in a separate story titled White Maid Oneshots. In with the main story though there is an upcoming spinoff- like Phantom & Ghost, but an original short that takes place not too long after Luxury Liner. I can't say when it will be out- but I can promise it will be- simply one hell of a ride. Anyways, most chapter updates for the main story will be on the manga release- this way I have no need to fear if something unexpected happens. I do have a bit of what could happen at the hotel down, and that specific- erm, part- does not have Aurora in the manga spotlight. That is the only real reason why it is even existing. However, I will arrange the updates differently if we fail to see any of our main characters back. Considering I can work with the next 20 releases, I think it should be fine. Anyways- here's Sebastian/Malphas's flashbacks. Enjoy :)

Malphas Desideriis had been leaving Hell far to often as his brother and sister noticed. So one day, Ilia and Stolas decided to follow him. The two younger fledglings followed behind their brother from a safe distance, watching as he took a soul, and then made his way elsewhere. "Why isn't he going home?" Stolas asked. Ilia shushed him. "Shut up! I'm trying to watch!" 

Malphas approached a forest, and entered it. Ilia and Stolas crept along behind him, both staring in shock as they came to a clearing. 

"It's beautiful!" Ilia gasped. 

Stolas nodded with wide eyes, "It reminds me of-"

"Eden." His sister whispered, "Like the stories King Lucifer told! Of the first humans and where he met Queen Lilith!" 

Stolas gasped and shrunk back. "Oh no!" Ilia followed his gaze and also shrunk back as an angel descended from Heaven. "Run Malphas!" Ilia hissed quietly. Her brother didn't move. Instead, he walked over to meet the angel, a female, having a sweet smile on his face. Ilia and Stolas watched confused. "She's not... killing him?" Stolas questioned. Ilia shook her head, "It would not appear so..." Malphas took the angel by the hand, and they sat by the lake, chatting away like old friends. "Is he going to seduce an angel?" Stolas asked. Ilia frowned, "I'm not sure..." Her eyes flashed as she watched through narrowed eyes. Malphas was braiding the angel's hair as she sat on a rock, rambling about something. "Is he indebted to her?" Stolas asked. Ilia hissed, "Shut up, will you?!" Her voice had risen a bit, and they both froze and shrunk back. 

Malphas had stopped his movements, eyes scanning the clearing. He had heard something. 

"Malphas?" The angel asked, "Is everything alright?" Malphas was quiet for a moment before he spoke. "I thought I heard something." The angel looked worried, "Do you think someone followed?" Malphas shook his head, "Doubtful." He looked at her, "But just in case, we should go somewhere else." He smiled, "Where to today, my lady?" Angelica thought for a moment, "Well, I've never been to... What is that new city they are building by the boot? Rome? Or was it Pompeii?" Malphas smirked, "Why not both?" 

Ilia and Stolas stared in shock. "Is he-" Stolas stammered, "Is he in love with an angel?" Ilia shook her head, "No. He can't be. He's a demon. Demons... We can't love. Our personality is made up of the seven sins. It has to be some form of obsession or lust." Stolas looked up at his older sister. He could easily see that even she did not believe the words she spoke. Malphas was in love. And no being in all of existence knew how that could be possible. 

Malphas and Angelica were wandering about Pompeii, both dressed in the appropriate clothing. Angelica had pretty white robes, cinched at the waist with twine. Her sandals were made of the same material, and her friend had a tunic and pants, walking through the streets. "Wow. It's beautiful here." Malphas nodded, "It's quite nice." He glanced up and frowned at the sight of the nearby mountain. "Something... Doesn't seem right however." Angelica looked back at him from where she was browsing one of the market stands. "Oh?" How so?" Malphas sighed, "I don't know. And that's what bothers me."
