Hello Again (Undertaker x reader)

34. A stranger comes at night

Sebastian was on a rampage, his mind set on my punishment. His master however noticed his mood...and...felt happy about it. Instead of seeing his butler with that smug grin of his, he likes it to see him annoyed for once. But on the other side, Ciel knows what Sebastian is capable of.

"Let's hope she survives the wedding night with this demon."

He is aware, that the butler is far from being truly affectionate. All he does is part of their contract...just an act...in return for Ciel's soul. The staff members had also noticed the demon's change in attitude. Especially Finny kept his distance, after the kissing incident. Just in case, Sebastian remembers. Right now, the butler was having a go at their demon hound Pluto. Not only is he hunting down all cats at the estate, but also kept on howling...since I left. For Sebastian, I was worse than thousand demons, angels and reapers all together. His dark shadow was getting bigger by the minute, surrounding the area he is standing in and outside the estate. His staff had to face his bad mood as well, getting a lot more hits on the head than usual. Even his master wasn't spared. His lessons got harder, strict and loud. To Ciel, it felt like the past, on the first days he and Sebastian had to get along. After another hit on his hands with a cane, Ciel had enough, "I know that this pain isn't meant for me."

"As your teacher, you deserve those hits. It is your pain to receive."

"Will N/A gets the same kind of pain...or will you torture her?"

Sebastian didn't answer. His master continued, rubbing his wounded hands, "Remind yourself that she is still a human being, wife or not. Giving her hell on earth will do you no good; otherwise she will always go back to the Undertaker."

To hear the name of the mortician, make Sebastian break the cane, "What she hates already, cannot be restored. I will force her. That is the only way."

Ciel shook his head, "Then you will lose her for sure."

"What can I do then?!" It was embarrassing for the butler to feel helpless. Even more that he is asking for advice from a child. He sure must be desperate!

"Why don't you show her a different side of you, one that she hasn't seen yet?"

"And what kind of 'side' do you mean?"

His master rolled his eyes, "Unbelievable, one side that doesn't make her fear, that her husband is a demonic Satanist!"

Sebastian's face went blank, "My Lord...I am a demon."

"I know that, but N/A shouldn't see that!" Ciel had enough of teaching a demon the way of acting like a husband. He had other things to worry about, "Sebastian, prepare my bath!"

"Yes, my lord."

By the time Ciel got into bed, I was already asleep...in the arms of the reaper.

My back is against his chest, while his arms are holding me tight. In my hands was the Undertaker doll we made. To make it very special, the doll's hair was real. The filling was a mixture of ashes and cotton wool, to make it smell nice. Well...it definitely smelled like Undertaker. He didn't seem to notice, as I turned around facing the mortician. I woke up from a nightmare, that Sebastian as killing me slowly. Once he ripped off my arm, I woke up. Now, unable to go back to sleep, I took Undertaker's hair and started to braid a few strands.

After the tenth one, I got bored...and thirsty.

I climbed out off the bed, not to wake the sleeping beauty. The floors and stairs made it hard not to make a sound, as they were creaking like hell. Once in the kitchen, I got my beloved water, drinking it quickly. I almost choked at the liquid, as a sound came from the front door. Like it was opened...and closed. But how? Undertaker locked it; I saw that with my own eyes. Placing the glass down, I checked on the front door. My blood runs cold at the figure in the door. A huge man dressed in black, looking directly at me. My voice left me, unlike my body. Trying to close the door, he stepped a foot in between, preventing this. Panic turned to fear, "Go away!"

"N/A."
