Episode 5 Finale - The Mark of the Eye
“Where’s master?” I questioned Scarlet as she walked down the hall.
She gazed up. “Oh, she said she had to get something, so she went to her bedroom.”
“Get something?” I echoed. “Like what?”
“I don’t know.” She shrugged. “I’m a servant. I’m not one to ask master’s intentions.”
I just sighed and set my coat on the rack. “Any reports from since I was gone? Carter and Maddox have been checking the parameter?”
She nodded. “Indeed, Sebastian. There is nothing to report.”
I then started down the hall. “Did you leave master alone?”
She followed behind me. “No, Cammie’s standing outside her door, Sebastian.”
I just ended up at her bedroom, finding Cammie standing there with a small smile, holding a tiny stick of dynamite in her hand.
I gave her a look. “What do you need that for?”
“In case there’s intruders,” she stated, smiling. “If anyone touches master, they go boom.”
I just rolled my eyes and knocked on the door. “Master, are you alright in there?”
There was no response.
I just parted the door, gazing into the room.
As my eyes softened, Cammie and Scarlet gasped in surprise.
Yumi was curled up on her bed, lying on top of the blankets with her daily-wear still on, but her eyes were closed and her fingers twitching.
“Aw… master’s asleep,” Cammie said, smiling.
“I didn’t know she was so tired, or I would’ve helped her ready for bed,” Scarlet said sadly.
“It’s alright,” I said then. “I’ll take it from here. You guys go help the others with the parameter.”
They both nodded and walked off, and I entered the room and closed the door, walking over to Yumi seconds later.
I sat on the bed, leaning down to lightly pull off her eye patch, and she closed her eyes tightly, groaning in annoyance.
“Master,” I said, brushing her bangs away from her eyes, “master, it’s time for bed. Come on.”
She just parted her eyes, the contract seal glowing and reflecting off the sheets, and she gazed up at me. “Sebastian…?” she looked around then. “Is it morning already?”
I laughed softly. “It’s one in the morning, master. Were you really going to sleep in that?”
She just gazed down at her outfit and sighed, pushing her hands on the bed to sit up.
“Let’s get you ready for bed, master. It shouldn’t take long, alright?”
