He is the reaper of souls...
He is my moving shadow.
He is the darkness swelling inside me.
He is my black soul.
But he will save me.

"Oh, my," Madam Beham said, looking around the entrance to the manor, "I haven't been here in some time."
"May I please take your coat?" I said kindly, holding my hand out.
"Oh, why, yes!" She shuffled off her jacket, handing it to me. "What an amazing butler you are, Sebastian. All tall and handsome. They don't have many handsome butlers around anymore," she laughed, "they're all old and shriveled. We need more of them, right?"
I just smiled after hanging it on the rack beside the front door. "What can I say? I am simply one hell of a butler."
"Say, where is my Yumi girl?" Madam Beham said, gazing around in a pout. "I came all the way to see her! I am her grandmother, after all."
I just smiled. "She's currently getting ready, my lady. She will be down soon."
"Good, good!" She smiled and entered the house further, standing in the front of the room.
I never understood why Yumi disliked her grandmother. She was the only family member that treated her like a person, she was the kindest soul in existence.
Perhaps Yumi was so used to be treated badly that she disliked being treated like a person... but she didn't seem to mind it from me or her servants.
"Oh, finally we're here," a girl said, scoffing as she entered the mansion.
I glanced over in boredom.
"That flight lasted for hours!" she said, yawning. "Who knew London was so far." She then gazed up, blinking. "Oh, hello, Sebastian. Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?"
I bowed before master Yumi's cousin. "It's my pleasure to be meeting you again, Lady Matilda. May I take your coat?"
"Oh, yes, please," she sighed and shuffled it off, setting it in my hands, "it's like a hundred degrees out there."
She then walked further in the room, and I glanced over at her in annoyance.
It's fifty degrees today...
A flood of people came in after her, making me stand up straight as three more women and a male walked in the room.
"Hello Madam Beth, Minister Curtis," I bowed to master's aunt and uncle, "it's a pleasure to see you."
"You, too, Sebastian," Madam Beth said, patting my head as I stood up straight, irritated at the motion.
Ugh. I hate humans and their careless touching.
"What about us, Sebastian?" two other girls said, pouting. "Aren't you glad to see us?"
Ugh... master's cousins.
I forced a smile despite being repulsed by their wicked smiles. "Yes, it's great to see you, too, Lady Kate and Lady Jamison."
They just smiled in response and skipped into the manor.
