When you got back to your room, you walked over to your desk, and sat down in your chair with a sigh.

"Maybe now they'll hop off my dick," you whispered to yourself. You looked behind yourself to see a full moon up in the sky. "Sebastian isn't involved in hell much anymore, so him knowing won't hurt me. If it does, I'll just get rid of him." You held up your hand, a small ball of energy appearing in it. It was a black mist ball with flashes of white light inside of it.

'Though seeing as how fervent he is about devouring the brat's soul, he'll probably put up a fight--which I don't like.' You scowled at your own thought. There were knocks on your door, which quickly made you calm your powers down.

"Uh, miss Y/n?" You heard someone call out from the other side. "It's Finny." You sat up straight, unsure of why Finny was standing outside of you room.

"What is it?" You called back.

"I... uh... was wondering why you were still up." The door slowly opened and his head peeked in, looking around the dark room.

"How'd you know I was awake?"

Your voice made his eyes find you.

"I heard you in the halls."

"Ah," you replied. "Come in and close the door." Finny nodded and scurried in, closing the door with his one hand. "Why're you up and here?"

"Um... a nightmare," he replied quietly, eyes burning holes into the floor.

"That so?" You inquired. "Well that's alright. We all have nightmares sometimes."

"Do you still have nightmares?"

You hummed lightly, resting your arms on the desk.

"I've had them in the past, but not recently," you replied. You saw Finny's eyes widen. Even in the dark you could see him clear as day. "What's with that expression?"

"Oh--sorry--I just... you didn't seem to be the type to have nightmares," he replied sheepishly. You laughed lightly.

"It's alright. Do you want to talk about it?" You asked. He nodded and you gestured towards the chair in front of your desk. He slowly walked up to the desk and sat down. He was still hella stiff. "What'd you have a nightmare about?"

"It was mostly about all of the times I was being experimented on," he replied, playing with his fingers. You nodded your head in understanding.

"Pleasant," you replied flatly. He chuckled slightly and nodded his head. "But you have no reason to be afraid of those nightmares anymore." He looked up at you, tilting his head.

"Huh? Why?" He asked. You leaned back in your seat.

"Because those days are over, right? You're here with everyone in the mansion. Sure, your past wasn't the best and its long-term effects follow you, but you have a new life now. Thanks to Sebastian of course," you explained. His eyes widened, but he smiled lightly, nonetheless.

"Thank you, miss Y/n," he said with a small smile. You waved your hand dismissively.

"Just call me Y/n."

He nodded.

"You should get to bed--don't want Sebastian yelling at you for slacking off," you suggested. Finny nodded and shot up from his seat.

"Mm! Thank you, Y/n! I feel a lot better now!" He turned and bounded over to the door with a small smile on his face. You watched him leave the room with a pleasant expression.

'Not every day I can make someone feel good.' You turned your head to stare out of the window again. As you were looking outside, there was a strong, brief presence that passed over you. You sat up straight, trying to find pinpoint its location.

'What was that? Why is it in the mansion?' You thought, getting up from your chair and quickly walking to your door. You flung it opened and looked down both ways of the hall, seeing nothing.

'Sebastian will kill whatever demon steps foot in the mansion--maybe before that.' As soon as you thought that, there was a crash from somewhere in the mansion.

Ja ne!
