That Reaper: Suspicious (Short) part 6

-Later, in Marianne and Chloe’s room-

Chloe was putting her night gown in a different room that the bedroom while Marianne was busy combing her hair for the night.
When she entered the bedroom, the brunet noticed that the blond’s night gown was showing almost everything Chloe had to show on the upper part of her body. It was offending for the purple one, but decided to keep quiet about it.
Chloe sat on one of the two beds the bedroom had and started putting her hair into a braid.

- Marianne: Hey Chloe, let’s play a game!

- Chloe: Play a game? Childish.

- Marianne: Oh come on, the rules are easy; one will ask a question to the other and the person must answer by telling the truth.

- Chloe: What kind of game is this, some sort of interrogatory?

- Marianne: Okay, I’ll start. Why do you wear those glasses instead of normal reaper glasses? As I recall, you also wore them when you were working for my family’s rival.

Chloe stayed silent.

- Chloe: Can I pass the question?

- Marianne: Non (No), you have to answer it.

- Chloe: You seem to be lacking some informations. I was working for the Rosemond and I was not any ordinary maid, I was Charles Rosemont’s nursemaid.

- Marianne: J’ignorais cela (That I did not know)!

- Chloe: To answer your question, it’s for the same reason you hid yours before you became a reaper, I suppose; because they were different and they would scare people away. Now it’s my turn to ask you a question: Is there something between you and Henry?

- Marianne: Non (No)!

- Chloe: You said to tell only the truth.

- Marianne: It’s the truth! I only see him as a co-worker and nothing more.

- Chloe: Ah!

- Marianne: ''Ah!'' what?

- Chloe: Oh, nothing! It’s your turn, dearest.

- Marianne: I've noticed, you don’t have to call me ‘’dearest’’. What happened to the Rosemont? I guess you’re not their maid, pardon (excuse me), Charles’s nursemaid anymore.

Chloe stayed silent again, like she was thinking about what to answer.

- Chloe: Young Master, his soul was taken by a demon. I saw it happened before my eyes, I could have done something, but he die right in front of me. The demon also burned the entire house that same night. I was able to survived, but everyone else died in the fire.

Chloe stopped talking, like if she was touch about what she said. Marianne had never seen that Chloe had a soft spot.

- Chloe: But enough of this, it’s my turn. Do you know what’s worst torture that death itself?

- Marianne: Non (No), what is it?

- Chloe: It’s to witness the end of the ones you love and you can’t do a thing about it. You know that when something is lost, it can never be regained.

- Marianne: Yeah, I know that to well. I felt the same the day my family got murdered.

- Chloe: They got murdered!?

- Marianne: Oui (Yes). The day we moved to England, I was only 10 years old back then. Somebody came during the night and killed my family, except me.

- Chloe: I guess we have a lot in common, after all.

Marianne had a quick regret about her judgment on her and thought she could give her another chance.

- Marianne: That enough for tonight, bonne nuit (good night)!

Marianne put her glasses on the night desk next to her bed, but Chloe didn't put down hers.

- Marianne: You even keep them when you go to sleep?

- Chloe: I thought we had stopped playing!

- Marianne: We did, but I’m just asking.

- Chloe: They were a gift from my young master, he was like a son to me and I was like a mother to him.

Marianne notice liquid rolling down both of the blonde’s cheek. Where they tears?

-Chloe: Anyway, good night.

Without saying another word, she curled up in her bed sheets. Marianne laid her head on the pillow and felt asleep.
