I opened my eyes. The light was bright enough to be blinding. I let out a small wimper. My body felt sore.

"Looks like she's waking up." I heard Ciel's voice from across the room. Once my eyes were fully open, I sat up. Sebastian rushed to my side. He had bandages in his hands. I looked down. My arms were patched up and I was no longer in the tiny maids outfit. Instead I was in a long white gown.

"My lord, would you like to stay while I replace ________'s bandages?" Sebastian said while turning towards Ciel.

"No, I'll leave. You two seem to need your privacy." Ciel got up and took his leave. I looked at Sebastian. His eyes had looked as if they calmed down since the last time I saw him.

"S...Se...Sebastian?" I said looking into his ruby red eyes. He walked closer to me and placed the items on the bed. He put his gloved hand on my chin.

"Yes my kitten?" Every time he called me kitten, it felt like something similar. I just couldn't put my tongue on it.

"Are we still at Ms.Skylars house?" He smiled warmly and stood up.

"No, we are not. We retrieved the kidnapped girls, and as for Ms.Skylar. Let's say she isn't at a very pleasant place right now!"

Kidnapped? I thought they were murdered.

"Oh yes that's right, we never did fill you in on how the girls were just kidnapped not murdered!" Sebastian explained and I finally understood.

"Now let's get you washed up, then you can head straight back to bed if you please. You need to rest" Sebastian was right. I should let him bandage me up then I would head straight to bed.

"Would you like me to help you bathe?" Sebastian said lifting me up. The thought of him seeing me naked was absurd. I couldn't let him see me like that. I would be too overexposed.

"________? You've become pale, is everything alright?" Sebastian said with a worried expression.

"Y... Yeah, I'm fine but, I think I can bathe myself. Please put me down." Sebastian did as he was told and put me down. My legs felt old and crippled. I wasn't able to stand on my own. I fell into Sebastian's arms.

"________ please, at least let me help you get to the washroom. You are unstable at the moment!" He was right. I was uneasy on my feet and everything looked dizzy. He was careful when walking me to the room. Once we entered it felt like we were on a different side of the house. There was a giant king sized tub and beautiful granite countertops. The mirror was laced in gold. He led me to the tub where I sat down.

"Thank you Sebastian."

"I'm just doing my job." He bowed then took his leave. The water in the tub was perfect. I stripped until I was in nothing. Putting one foot in the water at a time, then sinking my whole body into the bath. There were 3 different types of soap. I chose the closest one, it was strawberry. I took the cloth that was to my right and rubbed the soap into the cloth. I rubbed my body with the cloth, making sure to be careful over the cuts and bruises. They did still hurt but not as badly. When I was done I attempted to walk towards the cupboard that had towels. I tried to stay steady, but it was hard for me to keep my balance. I was almost to the cupboard with the towels.

'Come on ________! You can do it, just a little further!' I tried boosting my self confidence, but that didn't work. I fell grabbing a towel along the way. I hit my head on one of the shelves that supported the towels. The door slammed open and Sebastian walked inside.
