Biography- Aya lost her virginity at the age of 10 years old to her father's brother, Charles. Due to her parent's work, her mother running a clothing line and her father working for the Queen, they were completely unaware. 
Aya was continuously sexually abused by her uncle's hand, and too scared to speak up about it. It only grew worse when Aya's mother died due to fever.
After Viscount Alexander Everus was killed, Uncle Charles insisted he was chosen as the new watchdog. The Queen refused, for Charles was a second born. Uncle Charles was furious, and Aya was thrown out into the streets. 
A brothel picked Aya up, however she at first did not know that they were not only a brothel, but ALSO a cult. They were against the Queen, and held interest in black magic. After Charles happened to step into the brothel one day, he informed the owner that Aya was an Everus.  
They instantly treated Aya like slum, making her work for them as a prostitute. This happened on her 15th birthday. Charles started working for the brothel, and made Aya's life hell. That is when she made her decision. She wished things were like back then, before her abuse. Aya "accidentally" summoned something she would regret for the rest of her life, using the black magic of the cult. She summoned the high demon, "Veran Sterben".

Edited September 11, 20169 yr by Madam Ciel Nekohive

Veran gave Jane a look to not fire. They would fire if this creature posed a big threat. They would follow the Boogeyman, quietly. 

This was definitely not a human. Veran's senses were going out the roof. 

Aya had kept her eyepatch on, so she didn't need to worry about The Boogeyman looking at her contract seal. She jolt awake from the Boogeymans touch, letting her serious attitude fade, turning as childish as possible. 

"Play hide and seek?!" she let her face light up.

"I wanna play Hide and Seek!! Can I hide? Can I hide?" Aya sat up and jumped up and down slightly. 

"I-I'll hide aaaaaannndd you can find me! Can you-- can you?" she hopped out of her bed. 

"Here I go! Don't peak!!" she exclaimed, looking around for a place to hide. 

Aya hid behind the curtain near the window, keeping her voice hushed.

Edgar said to play hide and seek with the monster first...complain about being hungry...and then follow him.

Veran stood silently, his eyes peeled on the creature from the floor board. Just what was this guy?  

The Boogeyman was more than hapy to obliged with her request. He covered his eyes with his sleeves, moving to a corner. To Jane and any other adult, it would have sounded like she was speaking in an unknown tongue, a hum that couldn't have possibly meant anything. However to Aya due to her age, and to Veran due to his supernatural origin, they could hear him speak clearly in his raspy tone. "One...two..." The Boogeyman spoke, sounding playful as he counted all the way up until ten. "Ready or not, here I go!" The Boogeyman cooed. He looked around, taking a few steps. "Are you...under the bed?" The Boogeyman asked, taking a peek under the bed. "No, you're not there!" He gasped, trying to make himself sound surprised. "Are you...inside the closet?" He continued, shuffling through the closet before turning away. "Maybe you are..." The Boogeyman said, sounding eerie as he walked over to the curtain. "Behind the curtains!" The Boogeyman said cheerfully, pulling the curtains away to reveal Aya. "I found you!" The Bogeyman said before picking up Aya in his arms with ease and then...began to tickle her. Yes. tickle her. Simply tickling her in order to get laughs out of her. He aimed for all known tickle spots for a child, the ribs, under the armpits and on her neck. He even tried underneath her feet. Jane was dumbfounded. He half expected for this stranger to stab the kid, maybe even try to eat her, but so far...he had proven to be anything but dangerous. Yes, very creepy, but not dangerous so far. She looked at Veran, very confused. What was this thing?

 

---

The Boogeyman

 

 

God forbid a Grim Reaper from seeing these moments. Usually when Aya was in enemy territory, it would only take a matter of time before they tried killing her. Would this thing even try? Frankly she was actually a bit happy it hasn't.

Of course[ she laughed. ANYONE would laugh, even Alexander.

"Boggeyman...I didn't like the food my mama made last night...and I'm hunggrry..." Aya let herself complain, looking at the cookies Veran had made.

"Those cookies are ollld and Papa made them for you. I don't want just cookies...what do you have at your house?" She asked in a childish voice, tilting her head to the side.

 

It took Veran every ounce of his energy not to burst out laughing.

The Boogeyman tilted his head. He extended his hand, gently taking Aya's hand in his. His hand felt and looked like that of a human, his nails sharp enough to cut through skin if he simply wanted to try it, painted black. His skin was pale, almost as pale as the bone that decorated his head. "I have lots of yummy treats." The Boogeyman spoke, gently leading Aya over to the closet. "I have cake of all flavors, seafood, meat, candy, and everything you can imagine. I also have lots of pets you can play with, and lots of toys you can play with. There's lots of children like you too. You won't be alone." The Boogeyman spoke, smiling slightly. He pushed the clothing away to make space in the wardrobe. "Shall we, milady?" The Boogeyman asked, rising his free hand as from the wood of the wardrobe, it started to disappear, cracking as a portal appeared upon the wood where the end of the wardrobe once was. It was white and bright, giving off a bit of light among the dark of the room. He didn't hesitate, pulling Aya with him gently through the portal. Jane watched with her jaw dropping. "What the f*ck?" Jane gasped. What was going on? She looked at Veran. "What are we waiting for?! Come on!" She whispered, scurrying over to get upstairs and follow them through the portal. She didn't seem to be that surprised that a portal was even possible...she was more worried that the bad guy was getting away. Through the portal, the two stepped into a large room with marble flooring. There was no roof, as it seemed to disappear into darkness much like an abyss. Candles of all kinds, hundreds if not hundreds floated above, giving light to the place as it was dark. Large windows of glass decorated the walls, showing the most beautiful garden on the outside, full of flowers and plants that glew in the dark. Beings that didn't even exist in the mortal world could be found here. The room itself seemed to be a dinning hall, only one room of many of this large place the Boogeyman called home. The table was absolutely large and long, elegant and made out of glass or crystal of some sort, along with the chairs which had cushions of different colors for each seat for the person to sit on comfortably. Endless food sat on the table. Ranging from formal dinner to candy and food that no one had even heard of before. Fountains of all kinds of drinks aligned themselves across the table in the middle here and there, including tea and juice. The children weren't unnoticed. There were dozens of them there. Some were eating, others were playing with toys, others were drawing on the walls with all kinds of given paints and coloring utencils. For a child, it could have been heaven. "We have a new visitor." The Boogeyman said as some of the kids ran up, looking up at Aya, most of them girls. "Hi! I'm Emily!" "I love your hair!" "Do you want to play doll house with us?"

Aya did not show fear passing through the portal, she just hoped Veran and Jane were behind her, no matter the consequences. Aya clapped her hands together as she passed through the portal, looking at the area around her with swift eyes. 

"Thank you so much Boogeyman!!" she exclaimed.

Aya walked over, and of course grabbed a strawberry tart from the table, taking a bite out of it before Emily and some other kids came over. 

No wonder the kids did not want to leave this place. 

"I'm Aya! Nice to meet everyone!" she introduced herself. 

 

Veran looked at the crack from the floor. 

"Excuse me Ms. Armstrong." he grabbed hold of her, using demonic speed to dark upstairs and to the bedroom, bracing himself as he went through the portal with Jane in his hands. 

What would happen on the other side was entirely up to the Boogeyman. 

The kids went on as the two walked through the portal. Jane's jaw dropped in shock. This was incredible! A whole other world?! What the actual HECK?! "Incredible." Jane said breathlessly. Her eyes landed on the Bogeyman, who simply stared at the two. She quickly raised her Winchester model gun, pointing it at the Boogeyman. "No sudden movements!" Jane began, but was quikly met with resistance. Not by the Boogeyman, though. "Adults!" "EW!" "One of them has a gun!" "GET THEM!" Without any further notice, Jane and Veran were suddenly bombarded with food. Cake flew across the air as it hit Jane. Cupcakes were thrown like grenades. A goo type food was thrown with a whole plate straight at the two. It was a mess. "Enough." The Boogeyman asked calmly. By the time the kids stopped, Jane was covered in food from head to toe, covering her uniform in sugary smudges. The kids laughed without much worry of any consequences. "I cannot believe this!" Jane hissed. The Boogeyman laughed a bit himself. "Please lower your weapon. I do not mean any harm neither to you or the children." The Boogeyman said as he walked over to Aya and petted her head gently. "If the Watchdog hasn't made a move against me then I shouldn't do anything against her." The Boogeyman explained as he took a seat, the kids resuming what they were doing originally. Mops and brooms seemed to come to life as they began to clean up any mess around. "Please, do take a seat. Would you like to eat something?" The Boogeyman asked as he offered up some food. Jane wiped off some frosting from her hair. "What I want is to know what are you doing kidnapping children from their houses?!" Jane asked. "Technically it isn't kidnapping if they came along willingly-" "ANSWER THE QUESTION." The Boogeyman paused, and slowly sighed. "The truth is...I have brought them here in order to keep them safe." The Boogeyman said, glancing over at Aya. He waved his hand as a cup floated over with some tea to settle next to Aya for her to drink. "Something terrible will happen to the country of Great Britain, and I wish to keep the children safe here before it happens." The Boogeyman explained, sounding serious, and almost dreary.

Aya could not help but to laugh at the sight of her butler absolutely covered in frosting and other foods. 

She sat down beside The Boogeyman, Veran extremely pissed off, unbuttoning his coat and taking it off. 

"If you already figured out my identity, I guess I shouldn't keep up with this act." Aya took a sip of the tea, looking over to the Boogeyman. "

"I understand that you are trying to help children, Boogeyman, but there are parents worried for them." she made the point of. 

"My Lady and the British Army protect the country-- if there is anything that we need to take care of, please do not hesitate to let us know." Veran informed, folding up his jacket and placing it on the table. 

"May I ask exactly what are you anyways?" he then asked rather rudely, his eyes on The Boogeyman.

What could possible be a threat to all of Great Britain? 

The Boogeyman paused. "I understand their worry, but they do not understand my worry within the same severity." He insisted, looking over at the children. "They are too young to suffer what I sense is coming. I can keep them safe here until it all passes if it ever passes at all." He insisted as he slowly turned to Veran. "You are disconnected from hell. You have been in the mortal world for too long. I've heard rumors. I've heard whispers. I've seen plans. You may have the entire army of the queen, but I can assure you that they will not be of match to what is to come...no one will." The Boogeyman insisted as he looked down at himself. "I do not know what I am. I just exist. I remember my human life, I remember my death, but I was never led to the afterlife. I just exist, and this pocket of existence is my world. I do not hunger for souls, if that is what you are wondering." The Boogeyman said as he stopped a kid from running into the table, turning him around so he could run the other direction. "But none of that will matter eventually." He sighed. He looked over at Aya. "What is coming will be your greatest trial. I do hope you become ready...I will return the children if you want, but if the worse happens, I will take the children back. What is to happen will quake the very earth you stand on. Even the Grim Reapers will not stop it. Its on their schedule, after all." The Boogeyman said sincerely, lifting his head up slightly, only revealing one of his eyes. There was none. Just an empty socket.

Veran and Aya locked eyes. Just what was approaching?

"I-Is there any way to stop what is coming?" Aya questioned, placing down her tea.

Veran turned his eyes to The Boogeyman.

"I am aware that I may not be the strongest demon...but do you know exactly what is to come?" he asked, then turning his eyes to Jane. 

Yes, he just gave away his identity, but he is almost positive that Jane has probably seen things more horrible then him. 

Aya then turned to The Boogeyman. 

"If what you are saying will endanger the lives of these children, then I will allow you to take them if it does happen. You will be allowed to keep them until it is over, but once everything is calm, you will return them." Aya instructed The Boogeyman. 
"However, I will be taking back the Queen's Nephew personally." she then inserted, looking at The Boogeyman.

 

(I really tbh did not know how to respond to that) 

(I got your back)

The Boogeyman thought about it for a moment. "Something that has been sleeping for a very long time will be waking up soon. There is a way to stop it. But I do not know it. Though, I believe you will be able to figure it out, lady Watchdog. You are very special, after all." The Boogeyman said as he stood up. "Keith! Come here!" The Boogeyman called. Soon a small boy ran into the room and right up to the Boogeyman. He wore a silk pajama, his feet bare as he held onto a teddy bear with a bow on it. "Mister Boogey!" The child known as Keith squealed, runnig up to him as the Boogeyman picked him up in his arms. "It's time for you to go home." The Boogeyman said. Keith whined. "But I don't want to go! Mommy will make me do chores and study!" Keith complained, not liking the idea of returning to do any chores or the sort. "You have to go so your parents don't get worried. Don't worry. I'll play with you whenever you want. You just have to call me, alright?" The Boogeyman assured. Keith pouted and then smiled. "Ok!" He said as he pecked the Boogeyman on the cheek. The Boogeyman then gave Keith to Jane, who took the child into his arms. "I will deliver the rest of the children to their homes by morning." The Boogeyman said as he looked over at Aya. "I do not know any specifics, but if you want more information I highly suggest you ask a Grim Reaper. They know much more than anyone else, after all." The Boogeyman said as he leaned over to Aya, lifting his mask gently and then landing a kiss on her forehead. "Until we meet again, Lady Aya...and I am sorry for your loss." The Boogeyman said solemnly. Jane scoffed. "Let's go. I don't want to be in here any longer." Jane complained as she turned back to return to the real world.

Veran and Aya looked towards each other. They would have to get in touch with a reaper some way or another. 

"I will try my best to protect London." Aya clarified, her eyes looking into the sockets of the Boogeyman. 

As the group turned to the portal he had created for them, The Boogeyman said some haunting words. 

"I am sorry for your loss" 

The words echoed in her head for a second, her brushing it off. Veran took note of these words too. Just what WAS coming? 

 

They passed through the portal with Keith, and were back in Jane's house. 
"Hello Keith. I am Aya-- and I work for your Grandma Victoria." Aya explained to the boy, Veran looking at the portal as it closed behind them. 

 

Maybe they would meet again. 

As the sun began to rise in the horizon, children began to walk down to their parents, to their living rooms and kitchens, saying morning to their parents as if nothing had happened. Shrieks of joy echoed across the town, sighs of relief and happy tears as children began to return to their homes and into their parents' arms. Keith rubbed his eyes. "Nice to meet you!" Keith said happily, smiling over at Aya playfully. Jane rubbed her eyes gently with one hand. "We should deliver this kid imminently." Jane suggested as she looked over at Aya. "The parents live in a small manor closer to the coast. Follow me." Jane said as she looked over at Keith, who was simply looking around curiously and somewhat bored as the fun seemed to have ended for him. Jane looked over at Veran. They ended up walking over to the small manor, the parents quickly welcoming their son with open arms. "Keith! Thank goodness you are alright!" The mother said as she gave her son endless kisses. "Hi mommy!" Keith squeaked. The father looked over at the group. "Thank you so much." The father said as he held his child with his wife. Jane sighed and looked over to Aya and Veran, the three of them looking tired from a night without sleep. Well, at least Aya and Jane. "Well, that was...the strangest case I've ever worked on. You're quite the lady, Aya." Jane said with a weary smile. She looked over at Veran. "And Veran." She added. It sounded for a moment as if she would have been romantic for a second, before she went ahead and began to pat his back. "Sucks to be you. Seems like you have lots of stuff coming to you to fix. Wouldn't want to be in your shoes!"

Veran bit his lip before he said something rude. 
"I'm always fixing things-- probably doing better than you at it too." he couldn't stop himself from commenting, Aya giggling at him before yawning. 

 

At Jane's home, Aya got changed back into some normal clothes and they bid goodbye. 

"Ms. Armstrong...if you are ever in London or if you are in need of anything, please do not hesitate to drop by to the Everus Manor." Veran said to the woman, fixing the bow and Aya's hair as she yawned. 

"Thank you Jane!" Aya called back to her. 

 

The two picked up their carriage and headed home, arriving around lunch time. Veran went to go find Wulfric and Lazarus. The two were surprisingly not causing too much trouble. 

"Wulfric, I need you to see if you can find a Grim Reaper and bring one to me. You are a very talented werewolf and I am sure you can find one. I need information from them." Veran instructed the boy. 

Edited August 7, 20169 yr by Madam Ciel Nekohive

Wulfirc's eyes gleamed as he nodded. "Sir yes sir!" Wulfric said as he lifted his head up. He began to sniff the air. "I think I should remember the scent of a Grim Reaper. They smell different than living beings." Wulfric hummed as he blinked a few times. "I think I got it!" Wulfric said, and like that, he ran off. He didn't even say hello to Aya. He just ran out, jumping over the fence with ease as he proceeded while in his human form. Lazarus looked over at Aya and Veran. Aya had bags under her eyes. "I'm guessing that you didn't sleep very well. Or didn't sleep at all. Veran, you should be a better butler to Aya if she isn't getting any sleep on missions." Wulfric puffed his cheeks. He yawned and crossed his arms. "You both seem very grim. Did something bad happen? Did the mission go array? Did you had to kill people like you ended up getting my father killed or something?" Lazarus asked, his saltyness levels off the charts as he wasn't afraid to show it. "We had no visitors, if you were wondering." Lazarus added. He had also collected the remaining cobwebs, but he didn't tell Veran. He wouldn't want him yelling at him again for being thrown into the cieling. Soon Wulfric returned, dragging a familiar Nikolai as he held him in his mouth, even in his human form. Nikolai had his arms crossed, looking up as he was dropped onto the floor. "Well..." Nikolai scoffed. Wulfric ran up to Veran, sitting in front of him. "I found him! I found him! Am I good boy?!" Wulfric asked happily. Nikolai groaned. "Why would you need me? I was going to try to fish me some dinner you know."

"No-- I didn't kill ANYONE unlike you think I do Lazarus. I am not some crazy murderer like you apparently think I am. The mission went fine and we got the children back like we were supposed to. Nothing bad happened at all-- just he said something that got us worried. Leave me alone, and don't tell Veran what he has to do. We are the ones who saved your life for the second time anyways." Aya snapped at Lazarus. 

She was exhausted, and wouldn't be able to sleep without answers from a Grim Reaper first. 

 

Wulfric found a Grim Reaper easily though. Veran approaching the grim reaper as Aya walked over to Wulfric, petting his head. 

"At least you're a good boy Wulfric." she sighed.

 

Veran looked down at Nikolai. 

"I have been warned that something is approaching soon. Something that could be a threat to Great Britain as a whole. Care to spoil a little information?" the demon demanded. 

Nikolai blinked a few times as she heard Aya. It took him about a minute to comprehend what Aya and Veran meant. Suddenly it seemed to dawn on him, his eyes widening before softening. "Oh." Nikolai said rather simply, sounding almost surprised. Almost. "It's that time already." He said, looking up at Veran and Aya. "Neither of you should even suppose to know. But I guess whatever you encountered in the mission felt it too. I thought it was just another false alarm...guess not this time." Nikolai muttered as he stood up. "I...do not know much about it myself. But I will tell you what I know. Grim Reapers follow a strict schedule and calendar. Though such things tend to change depending on how the time flows...there are certain events that are marked down much like a birthday or a special event. A tragedy that would mean that everyone would have to have hands on deck, because it would mean lots of souls will be collected. I think...this is one of those events." Nikolai said as he began to pace around a bit. "I've been rogue for so long I don't even remember the date...but I do remember the tale." Nikolai said as he turned to the two. " 'In the days when the line between the worlds is to crack, signs will appear to show it's time is near. The Pestilence, The Rise of the Infidels, and the Death of the Martyr. All these three signal the steps taken in order to awaken the Child of Earth, to whom he will swallow its bed whole.' " Nikolai explained. He got his hands on his hips. "I...the leaders of the Grim Reaper's Organization know the date. They have a connection to God himself who he tells everything as its meant to go...but that is all I have." Nikolai said, sounding extremely worried. "If the sickness caused by the Supernatural beings was the Pestilence, then it means there are only two more signs, and if Great Britain is the target...it means that whoever the Titan of the Earth is...is right beneath our feet. Or so it seems."

"What?" Aya just kind of sputtered out. 

Literally to Aya, what Nikolai was saying made no sense. 

To Veran however, it made very much sense. 

"Thank you Nikolai. You can leave now." Veran said in a low voice. 

 

As Nikolai left, Aya looked up to Veran.

"One has already passed...three more things must come about before it will happen." Veran picked Aya up into his arms. 

"Until what Veran?!" Aya demanded to know. 

"Aya-- there are some things that even humans should not know. Even you." Veran began walking up the stairs with Aya. 

"Veran I don't care! Just tell me what it is! It is an order!!" Aya yelled. 

Veran stopped, his eyes looking down at Aya. They were not his usual friendly eyes either-- but definitely the eyes of a demon.

"You will know when the time comes." he put it bluntly.

 

Aya slapped him across the face, prying herself out of his arms.

"You're worthless! Even though this it my biggest trial yet-- you don't tell me anything?!" she raised her voice, marching up the rest of the stairs and straight to her room, slamming the door behind her. 

 

Veran sighed as he stood at the stairs.

 

There were times a servant had to disobey orders to keep his master safe. 

-A few days later-

 

After the successful mission and the return of the children, the Queen decided to give Aya a break. The poor kid deserved it at the very least. She had done lots of missions and had her own business to take care of. Nikolai decided that he would get involved with the little prophecy that had been going around. It was a long time for whatever it was to happen to happen, as the feeling was soft, but he decided that for the sake of humanity he would help Aya out to find out more information on it. Lazarus and Wulfric were being little sh*ts as they always were, specifically towards Veran just because he was the figure of authority. Today however they were in for a surprise, Samael came to visit! However he insisted for them to not awake Aya just yet, as he decided to speak with Veran, Lazarus and Wulfric, Alexander less than thrilled. “It’s true that Aya’s birthday is today, right Veran?” Samael asked as he clapped his hands together. “I was hoping you would allow me to help preparing the birthday party! It’s going to be a secret! I want to take her over to my place and distract her while you guys prepare this place up for a special birthday bash!” Samael said, sounding like a happy little kid. Alexander groaned. “He won’t accept no for an answer out of you. You either say yes or you say yes.” Alexander insisted, more busy and worried for his master’s happiness. If preparing some birthday party for the Evarus meant him being happy, then so be it. “I have a plan to keep her over at my home all day. Hopefully by the time I bring her back you guys will have it all set up! There should be pretty decorations, and music, and lots of treats.” Samael insisted as he looked over at Veran in the eyes with hopeful expressions. Veran was a demon, and yet Samael looked up to him as if he was a priest. Alexander would never understand why.

"You are correct Samael-- today is Aya's 18th birthday! This also marks the beginning of my fourth year with her." Veran smiled at Samael, Aya had not had a proper birthday party...well since here parents were around. 

He listened close to Samael's plan. Everything seemed possible, however one thing concerned them. The two would be alone. Together. 

"I'm sure she will be happy to stay at your home today. She usually treats her birthday as a normal day. We can make this happen." he then turned his eyes to Alexander. 

"Alexander-- are you okay with the two hanging out together today while we work on this?" the demon then asked, his eyes locked on Alexander's. 

Alexander pursed his lips. In all honesty he would indeed mind the two of them being together...alone. Alexander was jealous over Samael if he hadn't showed it off already. But Samael looked so...excited about this surprise birthday party. He would have to bear it. "I wouldn't mind at all. They can have fun designing some new dresses and accessories while we prepare the party." Alexander said in a cheerful mood as he stared back at Veran. Lazarus seemed indifferent of it, while Wulfric was excited. Samael chuckled as he took out a handwritten list. "This is a list of things we might need for the party! Cake, treats, decorations, games, music." Samael went on as he smiled. "Will you guys be able to handle it?" Samael asked as he got on his tiptoes and hugged Veran. "We got to make this a surprise!"

"I can handle anything." Veran said with a devilsh grin.He l

 

et Samael and Alexander stay downstairs as he walked up, knocking softly on Aya's door. "

Lady Aya, Samael and Alexander are here. Samael is wondering if you wuold like to stay over at his house today and work on smoe dresses with him." Veran said as he walked into her room, drawing back the currtans and letting the light in.

"Would you be interested in that?" he then asked.

Aya groaned and turned away from the curtians.

"I have to do some things around the house today. I don't think I'd be coming with you." he said with a sigh.

Aya sat up, yawning.

"Sure, I'll go." she said simply.

 

With that, Aya got dressed and started heading downstairs to be greeted by Samael and Alexander.

 

 

(I really couldn't find a good dress so https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/36/e6/55/36e655c6ae723a88284b64f2f64564df.jpg )

Samael smiled as he clapped his hands together. "Good morning, Aya!" Samael said as he walked over and gently hugged her, then kissing her hand. "I'm sorry for bothering you today. I got a bunch of new fabrics and materials delivered in today, and I thought it would be the perfect chance for us to make some collab designs!" Samael said as he took her hand and began to lead her away to the carriage outside. "This is going to be so much fun! Come come! I'm sure Veran can handle a day by himself. He's a grown up boy after all." Samael said childishly as he looked back at the group and winked at them. He helped Aya onto the carriage and waved at the group, before getting on, and off they went to his manor. Now they were alone, and they had a day to prepare. Wulfric was already jumping up and down in excitement. "We're going to prepare a BIRTHDAY PARTY?! HOW FUN IS THAT?!" Wulfric squealed as he jumped up and down like a bunny. "Oh great. We even have a list." Lazarus said sarcastically. This salty child would never give them a break. "Well we should get started as soon as possible! We have to work on the cake, and on the treats, and on the decorations!" Alexander went off as he looked over at Veran. "Surely we can cooperate for one day for the sake of our masters." Alexander hissed. "Let's do it! What should I get, mister Veran?! Should I get the decorations?! Or the ingredients?! What should I get?! What should I get?!" Wulfric asked as he jumped up and down. "I could get some flowers or something." Lazarus said in the most monotone tone. "Veran and I will be cooking then! Wulfric, I need you to get pretty decorations! Something to decorate the ceiling besides the chandeliers and something to decorate the tables and the staircase and all that!" Alexander said, already bossing around. "Lazarus! Get some flowers! We need to make this place look like the Queen is about to walk in at any moment." Alexander insisted. Lazarus scowled. "You ain't my boss."

 

"Is Alexander not coming with us?" Aya asked as the carriage was headed over to Samael's place. 

She was happy to help out-- just a bit weary about being alone with Samael. 

 

Veran on the other hand was relieved for Aya to get away for a while. 

"Lazarus-- will you please get some flowers? White, peach, and blue roses. Also, please listen to Alexander. Yes, he can be very bossy at times, however this is not a matter to fight about, and if we want to make this great, we need to work together." Veran announced, looking to Alexander. 

"Do you have any ideas for food and snacks? The cake is something that needs to be put together as well..." Veran asked his fellow butler, looking towards him. 

Samael smied. "He has some things to buy in town. He'll join us eventually." Samael assured. He would try to not freak Aya out, being alone without her butler or someone else to watch over was scary for anyone who was used to having a demon watching over her. But he woud make sure she felt comfortable and easy going until they could reveal the surprise! They rode to the manor, where they were greeted by the servants. "Welcome back, lord Samael. Welcome, Lady Aya." The maids said with a smile. "Hey guys." Samael said as he waved. He gently took Aya's hand. "Come on, the stuff is in my studio." Samael said as he gently led her up the stairs and into the studio. It was somewhat messy as it always was, filled with sketches and half done projects and mannequins half dressed in decorations and clothing. "Look, these are the new fabrics that just arrived. They came all the way from the India!" Samael said as he showed them off to Aya. He had a whole day to distract Aya, he might as well do it right.

Lazarus groaned loudly. "Fine~" He said, Wulfric quickly wrapping an arm around him. "Let's go! We can go to town together!" Wulfric said. "Fantastic." Lazarus muttered, walking off as he looked back at Alexander and Veran. "Don't kill each other you two! It would be a damn shame to being only able to attend one funeral when I want to attend two." Lazarus said as the two walked out and made their way into town to get what they needed for the birthday party. Alexander was quick to come up with a list of things to cook up. "Cupcakes, sweet covered fruit, caramel apples, biscuits!" Alexander went on as he looked over at Veran with a determined look. "All must match with the colors of the decorations! We have no time to waste, Veran!" Alexnder said as he grabbed the demon's hand and dragged him over to the kitchen. He had no familiarity with this kitchen, but a kitchen was a kitchen and he should be able to do something about it. "We must multitask! Beginning with the cake, and we can take turns exchanging each other's work. I suggest we make the inside of the cake velvet flavored or vanilla." Alexander said as he got an apron on.

"They came from India?" Aya asked, a bit surprised, running her hands over the fabric. 

"It's so soft!! Samael we can make an amazing piece from this." she said with a smile, turning to him. 

"What should we make? I'm up for anything." Aya turned her eyes to Samael, looking into his. 

 

Veran gave Alexander a look. 

"Excuse me Alexander, but I do believe you are in my kitchen, and since this is my kitchen, I decide who does what. Because I am the boss." Veran had the most devilish smile on his face-- looking towards Alexander. 

Alexander got mad at Veran once for being in his kitchen, now it was Veran's turn to get some revenge. 

 

"We will both make the snacks-- but the cake is something that I should tackle. The inside will be vanilla and decorated with white frosting, and roses to decorate it some as well." Veran instructed, beginning to gather the ingredients for the cake batter.
