Hello Again (Undertaker x reader)

47. One question follows another

Sebastian changed the subject whenever I ask about last night. What did he say? He really cares about....about what? Since I am such a pain in the backside, it can't be me. Maybe someone of the staff. Or the master. Maybe Pluto. Speaking of him, where the devil is he? I know that Finny is fond of that dog, maybe he can tell me. Pushing the question if Sebastian aside, I walked through the main hall...or shall I say...slide on my butt. The cause of this was running over to me...before she began to slip herself. "Mey Rin, was it really necessary to wax the floor?" The maid adjusted her glasses before answering, "Sebastian told me to do that." "Yes May, a thin layer of wax, not a thumb thick!" Hitting her head hard, I crawled on all fours to the small corridor. The butler was in his room, sitting at his desk. Without a knock I just walked in,"What are you doing?" Not turning around he said, "I see you survived Mey's waxing technique. I got some arrangements to deal with before we go." "That girl is dangerous I tell you. What do you mean go?" I waited as he placed the quill back in the inkpot, "We are expected at the Trancys...once more."

"Am I invited?"

He sighted, "Yes you are."

"But why am I..." He didn't let me finish.

You are not coming with us...not this time."

Sebastian thinks that it might become too dangerous when I keep getting involved with the Trancys, especially with the spider butler. I didn't mind though, although there was no place safe for me. Outside we could hear two men screaming, followed by a bang. I sighted, pointing out the door, "With these three it won't be easy". He knew I had a point there, but my mind was not an option either. His voice made it very clear, "You can't stay at the Undertaker. You been there long enough!"

"One night, it was only one!"

"One too many" he mumbled, standing up from his chair. Once he got passed me, I stocked my tongue out at him. He can be so stubborn sometimes. But the Butler ignored me and headed towards his other staff members. The three were still sliding around, hoping to get back on their feet. Clearing his throat, the servants looked up. "Were are quite busy now." Said Bard, dropping for the fifth time. His moaning sounded painful. Finny was in the same situation, greeting Sebastian with a smile. They all froze as an aura of darkness erupted from the butler. Without falling he pulled on their sleeves and threw them towards the corridor, "Before you go back to work, I have an assignment for you." Their eyes sparkled with joy, waiting for his words to tell. "N\A will stay here while I am gone. It is your job to make sure that she stays in the mansion. Understood?"

Bard wasn't pleased about this job, "Seriously, I am a cook...not a nursemaid."

Finny and May feared the worst, as the cook was held up in the sky, by his throat. Sebastian needed a lot of control not to hurt him badly, "I case you didn't know, this is my wife you speaking of. Treat her with care Bard."Dropping him to the floor, the butler handed Mey Rin a letter, "All your chores are inside it, finish them all before we return." He faced Bard once more,
"N\A will have enough to do on the list as well, so no need to babysit her."

I frowned as he stands at the entrance with the young Lord. Sebastian was about to kiss my lips, as I turned away, "You don't deserve one." Giving me a peck on my cheek was all he could do now, "Things will be different when I return. So be a good girl and behave."

We all watched as the coach disappeared in the countryside. My mood didn't change much. Bard grabbed my shoulder to pull me back in, "Come on N\A, you don't need to cry for him. He return sooner than you think." This made it only worse. In the distance I heard something howl. Pluto, I forgot all about him. Through the mansion into the the backyard I saw him lined to a tree. I asked Finny of why he is out here. He said that the chaos the dog caused, Sebastian banned him to the garden. He is never allowed to come back inside the mansion. My heart sank, it was my fault, it was my idea to use Pluto to piss off the butler. Instead of growling, he wiggled his tail once his eyes met mine. He was extremely happy to see me. Maybe a little too much, as he turned to a human. I closed my eyes embarrassed, "Pluto, change back, bad dog!"

To make it up to him, Finny offered me to take him out for a walk. Of course the gardener will be joining, in case I might do a runner. I wouldn't risk it. With his strength he could crush me. As an extra, I made him some dog cookies later on. Lost in thought I accidentally made them into bones shaped ones...like Undertaker's treats. This day was rather boring. Cleaning the rooms, dusting off the books in the library and replacing flowers with fresh ones. The walk has to wait till tomorrow. Hours later it began to rain. The wind got stronger by the minute, bending the trees a little. Tired and bored, I let myself fall on Sebastian's bed. On the night table was my Unnie doll smiling wide in my direction. I missed him so much that my eyes couldn't control the water falling down my face. Curling up while the doll in my grasp I tried to get some sleep. Although it was extremely silent, something soft fell to the ground.

The sound came from under the bed. Interested, I looked under it and spotted a photo. It was me kissing someone...or something. I remembered how I tried to get a photo from Sebastian but this, this isn't the butler. A dark creature with black wings, slender hands with long nails and high heeled boots. The rest of it was rather blurry. But no matter how hard I try, I don't know who it might be. Did I cheat on Sebastian without knowing? Was I drunk that day? But the main question bugged me the most.

Why was it under his bed?
