~~No bodies POV~~
"Michelle! Why aren't you done cleaning the kitchen?!" Michelle's angry mother, Mrs. Fisher, yelled towards her daughter's room. "I swear you're as useless as your sister!" Sighing Michelle walked downstairs to her mother. "Sorry mother! I was finishing cleaning dad's study! I'll get to work right away!" She did as she said and started cleaning the counters. "You better get done before dinner. Be sure to help your sister with the cooking or you'll get nothing to eat!" Her mother laughed as she walked towards her father's study. She sighed and looked over at her sister who was standing in the doorway being shy as always. "N-need any help?" She asks looking at the ground while walking over to her older sister. "Can you start washing the dishes from this morning and from lunch?" Her sister smiled and quickly started cleaning the dishes.
"Umm... Michelle?"
"Yes, Rachel?"
"Um.. I... I heard father talking.... Talking about throwing us on the streets if his business is successful."
"Really? I don't think he'd do that! I mean he's the one that raised us when mom died... He just had to get remarried to a-" A loud bang was heard from the study along with inaudible yelling. "M-Michelle? What... What was that?!" Michelle quickly ran towards her father's study with her sister following after her.
"Father-" Another bang was heard. "Father!" They both screamed for their father. Michelle opened the door to his study only to find that he is dead on the ground with their 'mother' holding a gun. "You tell no one about this!" Both children were in tears. "H-how? H-how could y-you do t-this?!? He's the only one that cares for us!" She simply laughed. "How? He was planning on getting rid of both of you so I'd have to do the cleaning and cooking around here!" Michelle shook her head violently. "No! Our father is a reasonable man! He would do the cleaning and the cooking! I know he would've!" Rachel clung to her older sister, still crying. "M-Michelle!!" She started whispering, "Let's r-run a-away! We c-can go a-anywhere! J-Just n-not here!" Michelle nodded and looked at her mother with certain eyes. "We'll be downstairs if you need us." Their mother laughed. "Downstairs? No no no no no! You'll be cleaning this mess up right now!" Michelle grabbed her sister's hand and ran for the front door as quickly as they could run. "Michelle! I can't keep up!" "Just a little longer!" They both ran down the stairs then towards the door with their mother yelling and running after them. "You get back here now and clean the mess up!!" Michelle opened the front door and ran out with her sister behind her. "This way!" She pulled her younger sister alongside herself a few streets away from their house. It started to rain so the took shelter in an alleyway. "We'll be safe here for now." Michelle sat down next to one of the walls and sighed.
It has turned to night shortly after. Rachel looked up at the sky. "Michelle? How'd it get so dark so quickly? Wasn't it just dinner time?" Michelle then looked at the sky. "Hmm. Strange. Well let's not worry about that right now. Let's just get some sleep. You're tired right? I know how you have arrhythmia." Rachel nodded and sat on the ground next to her sister and shut her eyes.
~~Cloaked Figure POV~~
As I was walking through the deserted streets of London I got a sense that the person I've been searching for as now arrived in town. I look around in every window and alleyway I could on my usual run of the day and night. 'I'll just make a quick run through this street then get back to Lady Mason.' I finished up my run quickly then headed back to Lady and Lord Mason's manor.
~~Le time skip to morning : Michelle's POV~~
I yawned and stretched my arms. 'Man I haven't had that good of a sleep since I was a child!' I looked over to my right to see my sister, only to see her not there. "Rachel?" I got up and looked out of the alleyway. 'Where could she have gone?' I quickly walked out and saw many people on the streets. 'Wow! So many people!' I shook my head and heard screaming from my left. "Rachel?!?" I ran towards the noise. "Rachel!!" How is no one reaching to the screaming? It's like they're brainwashed or something! I turned a corner to see a figure in an alleyway just a few houses down from ours. "Um... Excuse me?" The figure turns towards me with a smaller figure behind it. "R-Rachel?" I whispered softly just in case something bad was going to happen. The figure stepped forward and said in a monotone voice, "You're welcome." Then started to walk down the street only to reveal that the figure was a man dressed in all black, cloak and hat too. "W-wait! What exactly did you do?!" I yelled at the figure only to get stares from the people walking down the street only to see the figure suddenly disappeared making me look like I'm delusional. "Humph!" I crossed my arms and sighed. I turned towards the smaller figure still in the alleyway. "Are you okay?" The figure nodded slightly. "Y-yeah."
"Rachel!" I quickly hugged the small girl. "What happened?" She hugged me tightly and said, "The tall man took care of it so I'm fine now." Then gave me a big smile. "Want to go exploring?" I smiled down at her. "Really? Can we?!" I nodded, linked our arms together and started walking down the street with my little sister.
~~C.F POV~~
"My lady, I've searched all of the north and east side of town. I will start searching the west and south side today." I said to Lady Mason. "Very good. Be sure you look clearly, through every house and store." I bowed, "Yes, my lady." I turned in my heels and walks towards the front entrance but I'm stopped by Lord Mason. "Yes, my lord?" I starred at him with curiosity. "Be sure to use your special power to find our daughter." I nodded and bowed. "Yes, my lord." I quickly walked towards the front doors again. 'I will find her.' I pulled my coat into my shoulders and put my hat on. 'I am not to show my identity to anyone but the Mason family until their daughter is found.' I walked with my hands behind my back towards the south side of town. While looking around I felt eyes on me. 'How? Only the Mason family can see me with this spell! Impossible...' I kept a level head and continued to walk. 'I know you're around here somewhere... Just where are you, Lily?' I came across an alleyway. 'Seems like she was here once.. And with someone else?' I walked down the street to follow the trail she left that I can see with my right eye. 'Just where are you going, Miss Mason?'
~~Michelle's POV~~
"Rachel! Don't you like this dress in the window?" I asked my younger sister who was wide eyed, looking at it. "Do you see the price of that?! That's an impossible price! Who could afford such a dress?" I giggled softly. "Well there are rich people here."
"Could they possibly buy us new clothes or give us shelter?"
"I don't know.. I don't know any rich people to ask."
"Oh... Lets continue to explore then!"
We walked to another store but this time this store was more expensive. "Let's go to that one over there." I pointed to the next store over. "Ooo~! Sis! Look at these shoes!" Rachel was so amazed by them she couldn't take her eyes off of them. I giggled. "You really like them don't you?" I looked around the store. "Hmm." I got a weird feeling I was being watched. 'Something seems off.' I shrugged the feeling off and went on looking through more stores.
~~C.F. POV~~
'You have no idea do you, Lily?'
The Contract
~~Michelle's POV~~
'Who's voice was that?' I shrugged off the voice I heard and started walking down the street with my younger sister next to me. I'm too curious to know! "Hey... Rachel... Did you hear a voice back there? It said something like 'You have no idea do you?'" I looked over at her. "Rachel? Rachel what's wrong?" She had stopped dead in her tracks. "B-behind you!" I was curious so I turned around. "What? Aren't you that same person from before?" The dark figure shook it head and said, "I am here to being you home." I instantly thought 'what? No I don't want to go back there!' The figure chuckled almost like it read my mind. "Did you just..?" It nodded. It read my mind again! "Since I've shown myself to you w must take you t your real parents, Lil- Michelle." 'Lil? Like Lilith?' It shook its head. "Quickly! This way, Michelle." The figure turns around and walks off. "Wait! I can't leave my sister alone! Follow me Rachel." We both walked after the figure.
~~Figure's POV~~
'She's not your sister but it wouldn't be good to leave her here.' I sigh and continue walking towards the Mason's manor. 'Dammit!' There's that feeling again... Since everyone can see me now it's a problem. "Michelle we need to run, now!" I heard her sister stop and then... "What's wrong Rachel?" Yep... 'Alright... We can work this out.' I turn around to face both. "What's wrong?"
"I can't run for too long.."
"You have arrhythmia, correct?"
"H-how'd you know?"
"It's simple. Everything I know about your sister I now know about you. Since you're inseparable it's impossible to not know everything since you're both alike in many ways. Now enough chit chat. We need to hurry." She nods. "How am I going to run?" I sigh and crouch down facing away from her. "Climb on my back. Michelle be sure to keep up, alright?" Both nod and Rachel climbs onto my back. I stand up and start walking. "Turn this corner and start running."
"What are we running from?"
"Your stepmother sent the police to look for you. I was sent by your real parents to find you."
"Who are my real parents when there's so many memories I have with my father?"
"He is your real father but your real mother wants you back."
"My father died for us..."
"Yes I heard. I'm sorry for your loss." We turn the corner and I instantly started running as quickly as I could. 'No good... They're following...' I see Michelle a bit far behind so I slow down and sigh. "Here..." I picked her up once she got close enough and I started running again. "Wha!" I chuckle at her reaction. That's always the reaction people give.
~~Michelle's POV~~
'Geez... Could've told me you were going to pick me up!" I crossed my arms and huffed. That gained a chuckle from the 'figure'.
"What's your name anyways?"
"I can't tell you my name until your safe at the manor."
"What manor?"
"Lady and Lord Mason's manor, your parents."
"Yeah... Hey Rachel?" I asked over the shoulder of The Figure. That's his- her- it's name now.
"Yes Michelle?"
"I was wondering... If we're not actually sisters would you still be mine even if I live with my real parents in a manor?"
"Of course! Living with you these past ten? Yeah ten years were amazing! Well..." I giggled. "I understand what you're saying." She nodded and smiled. "We're here." I heard The Figure say. "Really?" I looked up at the huge manor. "Wow!" I giggled because my sister and I said it at the same time.
~~The Figure's POV~~
I set Michelle down and crouched to let Rachel get off my back. "It's time" I say while walking towards the front doors. I open the doors to be greeted by the other servants, "Good morning-" I shushed them to let them understand the two don't know me yet. "Melissa, can you show them to their rooms?" She nodded and waved the two over. "Right this way ladies." She said with a bright smile. "I'll be up to get you both in ten minutes. There are new dresses for you to change into while you're there as well!" They both nodded and walked with the maid named Melissa to their rooms. 'I'll go tell my lady her daughter is back.' I start walking up the stairs when I hear a distant gun shot. 'Damn...' I look at the servants who gathered by the front doors. "Sin, I trust this issue to you today." She nodded and walked out the front doors to the issue. I sighed and walked towards the study. After a few minutes I arrived at the study. I knocked and heard a lively "Come in!" I opened the door to be greeted by smiling faces. "Is she here?" I nodded. "Yes, my lady. She's in her room changing. She also brought her sister from the Fisher family." She smiled happily. "Bring her in right away!" I nodded and bowed. "Yes my lady."
I excused myself from the study and headed to the servants room. I hung my hat and coat up on a coat rack then fixed my tie. 'There.' I started heading to Miss Mason's room only to be stopped by a knock on the front door. 'Mercer answer the door' I heard the door open and instantly hear loud yelling. "Where's my daughters?!" Not her again... I walked towards the front doors to see Miss Mason and Miss Fisher peeking out of their room door. "Stay in your room." They nodded and closed their doors. I continued to walk to the front doors. "How may I help you Mrs. Fisher?" The look on her face was priceless. "You! You're the one!" I chuckled softly to myself. 'Mercer disarm her.' As quickly as I gave the order Mercer disarmed the crazed woman. "What? How'd you-?" I smirked. "You see Mrs. Fisher, we're trained professionals." I heard someone walking up behind me. I turned to look to see both Lord an Lady Mason. "Leave this manor Mrs. Fisher!" I hear Lord Mason yell towards her. "She's our daughter! You took her from us when she was young. You have no right to be here!" The crazed woman laughed. "My lady.." She shook her head, knowing what I was going to say. I nodded and stepped to the side. "Thank you, Lisandar."
"Wait! THE Lisandar?"
I shook my head, "I'm Alyssa Lisandar. I took her place here at the manor. She's working for a new master."
"That's impossible! I know what you all are!"
I chuckled, "Really-" I was cut off by Lady Mason. "Enough games! Lisandar I order you to get rid of her how ever you please!" I bowed, hiding my smirk. "As you wish, my lady." I walked towards Mrs. Fisher. "Shall we do this the easy or hard way?" I say like i was teasing her. She shivered when she heard my voice up close. "You're a monster!" I chuckled and tilted my head. "Why do you think such a thing about me? I saved you from being thrown out into the street, you should be thanking me." She glared at me. "You did nothing but make me miserable!" I shook my head and sighed. "Let's talk in the garden. It's more peaceful there, yes?" I walked towards the garden's entrance. She slightly nodded and followed me towards the garden.
~~Rachel's POV~~
"I wonder what's happening. He looked like he would take care of it, right?" I asked Michelle who was sitting by the window. "I'm sure he can take care of it. He is dressed like a butler so of course he can!" We both giggled and I sat on the edge of the bed. 'I wonder what it's like to be a butler or maid.' I heard a bang like the one from last night. "Was that a gun?" I got up and walked towards the door. "He said to stay in the room!" I frowned... "What if moms hurt?" I felt tears at the edge of my eyes. "Which mom? Our stepmother?" I nodded. I heard Michelle sigh. "She was going to hurt us sooner or later!" I shook my head and ran out of the room. I heard another shot. 'I must get there before anyone gets hurt!' I ran as fast as I could to the gun shot with Michelle following behind me. "Don't strain yourself!" I ran down the stairs, almost tripping but I caught myself and ran towards the third shot. I opened the doors to see a horrible sight. "Mom?"
~~Alyssa's POV~~
'Really? Now I have to deal with this problem. I fired the last bullet into the crazed mother's head. "Rachel you do realize he isn't your real mother. She could never be a mother. She could only adopt or have someone else give birth to the baby. She stole both you and Michelle." She fell to her knees then fainted. 'She ran here didn't she?' I sighed, putting the gun away and walked over to her unconscious body. "You're really a handful you know?" I picked her up and carried her to her room. "Is.. Is she-" I shook my head and earned a sigh of relief from Michelle. "Since she ran across half the manor.. This could be life threatening. I'll see what I can do though." She nodded an walked back to her room with me behind her. Once in their room I lay Rachel down on the bed. 'Melissa, come show Michelle to the study.' I waited until Rachel was conscious again. "Michelle wait in the hall till Melissa get here, alright? She'll show you to the study to meet your parents."
~~Time skip to study : Lady Mason's POV~~
'I hope my daughter recognizes me' I patiently wait with my husband in he study for her official return. I hear a knock on the door. "Come in." The door opens to reveal Lily and Melissa. I smile and gesture to the seat in front of our desk. "Please sit." Michelle nodded and sat down. "Um.. I understand that you're my real parents but... How?" I gave her a reassuring smile. "Mrs. Fisher stole you from us when you were very young so you have possibly no memory of us. We searched all over town for fifteen years. You're now sixteen, yes?" She nodded and smiled slightly that I remembered how old our angel is. "Oh, your real name is Lily Mason." I smiled at her. She nodded and asked curiously, "Can we change Rachel's name too? I want us both to be sisters." I nodded and look over at my husband, Richard. He nodded and said, "Lets name her Violet." I smile brightly and so did Michelle. "I love it!" She said excitedly. I giggled softly. "Shall we all go check on our newest family member Violet?" Everyone nodded and walked towards our newest daughter's room.
~~Alyssa's POV~~
Rachel woke up after a short while. "How are you feeling now? Tired? Short of breath?" She nodded, "Tired." I nodded "Just get some rest." I heard a knock on the door. I quickly walked over. "Yes- My lady?" She nodded and I moved out of the doorway to let everyone in.
I stopped Lady Mason, "It's time isn't it?" She nodded and gestured me to follow her. I followed her to the study. "Is Violet going to be okay?" I nodded. "She'll need someone to support her.." She placed her hand to her chin to think. "My contract with you is already over now that I got my wish. Could you make a contract with Violet and give her the support she needs?" I nodded, "I'll see what she wishes to do." She nods and walks over to me. "Take care of my daughters." A knock was heard at the door. "Come in." My master says as the door opens to reveal Mr. Mason. He nods at me. "I've already said my goodbyes. I've said we're going on a business trip for a few years. I nod and look at my master. "Ready?" Both nod and my master stands next to me. "This'll hurt a bit." I tilt her head back and bring my lips close to hers, her soul is already leaving her body to be taken. I smirk with my eyes glowing a light white color and I take her soul. Her body becomes lifeless and Mr. Mason slowly starts to disappear. I sigh and have Melissa who was still in the study to take care of Mrs. Mason's body. "I have business to take care of. Please take care of this." I then walk towards Lily and Violet's room. I knock on the door. "My lady? Your parents have left for their business trip. For now Lily will be the head of the manor." Both nod and I smile. "Before anything else I'll need to explain something to you both."
~~Time skip because you should all know how demons work in Black Butler~~
"Violet your life is on the line if you run like how you have been. Just be careful until you're healthy again." She nods and sits up. "I want Michelle.. I mean Lily... to have the contract." I nod then shake my head. "She'd have to have a reason for it first." Lily looks down then jumps up. "My reason could be that until Violet is safe and healthy!" I nod slightly... "True. I'll allow it. I've also told you what else I am other than a demon so it's possible without it having to die and for revenge." I walk over to Lily. "The more visible the contract is the more powerful it is. So where would you like the contract?" She points to the left side of her neck. "You'll have to cover it with a scarf because people will give you looks." She nods and smiles. "I'm ready!" I smile, "Good confidence. This'll hurt a bit." I place my left had where she wanted the contract and started making a contract of my own. She winced in pain at first then started biting her bottom lip. I removed my hand and showed her new contract sign on her neck in the mirror. I got on one knee and placed my hand over my 'heart'. "Your wish is my command, my lady."
The Flashback
"My lady your daughter is beautiful." I said with a smile. "Thank you, Lisandar." She said holding her one year old baby with a bright smile. "Shall I make this mornings tea?" Mrs. Mason nodded. "If you'll excuse me then."
~~Tea skip~~
I rolled the cart with tea into my master's study. I poured a cup of tea for her and set it on her desk. I heard a knock at the front door. I excused myself and quickly went to the door. I opened the door to see Mr. and Mrs. Fisher. "Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher. I step out of the way to let them in. "If I may ask what business do you have with the Masons today?" Mrs. Fisher smiled at me. "We've just came to visit for a short time." I nodded and led them to my master's study. I knocked and heard a bright, "Come in." When I opened the door Mrs. Fisher ran into the room and hugged my master tightly. While Mr. Fisher walked over to Mr. Mason to talk about work. I quickly walked over and pulled Mrs. Fisher off of her. They both giggled. "Lisandar can you take care of Lily while we talk?" She put Lily in my arms. I bowed slightly, "Yes my lady."
When I walked out of the study I was greeted my Lisandar. She gestured me down the hallway. "Lisandar? If you're here then Alec should be here too, yes?" She shook her head. I look down at Lily and hug her tightly to my chest. 'What exactly are you leading me to?' I followed her down the hallway. 'The master bedroom?' I opened the door quietly to see a figure searching the room. Lisandar officially appeared next to me. "I'll take care of them." She whispered to me as I nodded and walked back to the study. I opened the door to the study to see Mrs. Mason on the ground next to her husband, holding him in his last breaths of life. I walked over to my master. "My lady?" Lily started to cry. "Shhh little one." I say as her mother walks over. "Kill her. Kill both of them!!" I nodded handed Lily to her mother and bowed. "Yes my lady."
I quickly ran out of the manor but I still heard Lisandar fighting... Seemed like she wasn't winning. 'Dammit!' I knew right then I had to make a choice. 'Mercer, Sin, Kitten, Gryloth, Melissa!! Protect the house, now! Keep the master and Lily safe!' I then ran after the Fisher's carriage. I jumped and landed on the roof of it silently. I waited until they arrived home. Fifteen minutes later they arrived home. I jumped down from the carriage roof and walked to the front door. Of course I'll go through the front door. Surprisingly the front door wasn't locked to I silently opened the door and closed it behind me. I walked to the main bedroom where I heard the two talking. "We need to leave now!" Mrs. Fisher said slightly fearful for her life. "No, we don't once we have Lily they can't kill or hurt us!" I heard Mr. Fisher say.
'Lily? Lisandar?' I heard a voice ring I my head, "It's too late, Alyssa." I frown and sneak back outside. 'I'll just stay here until the mysterious figure comes.' I waited across the street for this figure to come. After about ten minutes this 'figure' appears at the door holding a crying Lily. 'I will kill you. I promise I will!' The figure knocks on the door. The Fishers answer quite quickly. I quickly walk over to the group. "Now why would you steal your best friends baby?" I asked curious yet angry. "She's our child! You have no idea how hard it was to track her down!" I chuckled. "Track her down? No no no. You stole. I don't appreciate lying to me, stealing from my master or murdering her family." They all glared at me. 'Silly humans. You just won't learn will you?' I pulled out a knife. "Either you hand her over or we'll do this the hard way." I smiled at them. I saw Mrs. Fisher shit in her spot. "Nicole... Don't." She instantly jumped at me. I chuckled and stabbed her in the heart. "Bad move Mrs. Fisher." I turned towards the hooded figure. "Next?" My eyes were glowing a light white color. The figure handed me Lily and ran. "Heh. Good. Now I'll be on my way. Good day Mr. Fisher!"
I turned around and started walking back to the manor, hugging Lily tightly to my chest. I heard Mr. Fisher pull out a gun and aim it at me. "Pull that trigger and you'll risk hurting Lily. Make a choice, Mr. Fisher." BANG! I was actually surprised yet I also wasn't. I looked down at Lily to see blood dripping from my chest. I chuckled at the sight of blood, I was chuckling madly. "Lisandar just hand her over!" I looked over my shoulder with a death glare. I said nothing but only stood there glaring at him. Lily was actually calm in my arms, didn't even shout or cry when the gun was fired. He had this angry yet completely serious look on his face. I calms myself down and simply said. "Why so serious, Mr. Fisher?" I have him this look of insanity. All he did was pull the trigger again, shooting my right eye out. 'Dammit!' I chuckled again. "That won't work, Mr. Fisher. Why don't you try shoot me here" I pointed to my forward after turning towards him and give a warm smile. "I'll never let go of Lily, I promise you that, Mr. Fisher." He glared at me and pulled the trigger again, aiming straight for my forehead.
I smirked at him. I let the bullet hit me but what I didn't know was the what type of bullet the third bullet was. "Nn..." He walked over to me and took Lily from me as I fell to my knees. "N-no.." I was now fighting the pain. I stood back up but stared at the ground. I looked up at him with both my eyes blood red, my right one healed quickly because I a demon. "You can't best the best, Mr. Fisher." I smiled at him and he shot me in the chest again. "You're really make this difficult." He laughed. "Difficult? You should be dead!! Just die! She's my child!" I then laughed. "Yours? She's no where close to being yours!! I won't allow it! I can't allow anyone... Anyone to take her from her family... From her protector. I can't allow it!" I popped my neck and stared at him intensely. "I already know your future with her. You won't live to see her seventeenth birthday. You'll e killed... By who you ask? Your newest wife of course~! Or you'll get run over by a carriage if your lucky to survive that bullet to the chest." I smirked at him. "You can't tell the future! That's impossible!" I chuckled. "But you just saw the impossible so therefore the impossible is possible therefore making your statement possible." I smiled at him. "What?"
"Have I confused the oh so intelligent Mr. Fisher? You seem to be confused. Here let me take what is confusing you away." I grabbed Lily but he shot my right arm. "Now now Mr. Fisher don't get more confused just because you have a gun in your hand." I sighed but Lily started to cry. "What's wrong Lily?" We both glare at each other since we said it at the same time. "Lily it's okay. Daddy's here." I glared more intensely at him. I grabbed Lily once more. But again he shot, this time in my forehead again and with the same billet from before. "Nn..."
'Where does he get these bullets?!? They haven't been made yet! Then again they don't seem to be sitting in because they have no accent nor do they wear any Victorian ear clothes. Did they somehow go back into time like I did? How?' I fell to the ground, over thinking everything. "You can't take another man's child, Mr. Fisher." I got up and popped my neck again. "And just how are you going to prove it isn't my child?" I chuckled softly. "Because I've figured out where you come from. You're not from this time are you, Mr. Fisher?" He sighed. "No. My wife was but I'm not. I'm from the 20th century." I nod. "How exactly did you get here?" He shrugged. "I just woke up here." 'Strange' I nod. "Since we're being truthful here, why are you stealing my masters daughter?" He sighed again. "Because I lost my daughter when she was young. She looks just like my daughter." I shook my head. "I still can allow you to keep her." He pulled his gun on me again. I chuckled softly. "The third one should really shut you up!" He shot again this time, my chest. "Nnn...." I popped my neck again. "This won't solve anything, Mr. Fisher! Trust me!" He shot me for the sixth time. I fell to my knees. "You have no more bullets now, Mr. Fisher. What are you going to do if I get back up?" He chuckled. "You won't be able to. You'll have to crawl back to your master!" He started laughing in his version of an evil laugh which wasn't evil at all. "Try again later, Lisandar. Good day."
I blacked out after that and woke up in my room like it was all a nightmare. I was sweating. I shook my head. "Just a flashback." I sighed and closed my eyes again only to be woken up by Melissa. "It's five in the morning. Time to get chores done." I got up and began my daily routine.
The Party and A Happy Family Reunion
Author's note: This is two chapters I thought of combined.
As I'm finishing my morning duties I let the others finish so I can bring morning tea for my master and her sister. I quickly make the tea and head to their room since they share the master bedroom now. 'I wonder if they know...' I shook my head to get the thought out of my head. 'I'll tell them later.' I knocked on their door then open the door, pushing the cart of tea in with me. I opened the curtains then turned towards the cart and poured both a cup of tea. "Nn..." I heard both groan at the sudden light in the room. "Good morning Lady Lily and Lady Violet. Did you both sleep well?" I ask certain that I wouldn't get an answer but to surprisingly Lady Violet was wide awake. "I can see that you got some good sleep." I said with a smile as I handed them both their tea. "I'll allow you to pick out your dresses for today. I'll help you with the corset as well." They both looked at me with shock and even blushing. I chuckled then smiled. "I haven't told you yet. I actually a girl like both of you only difference is I'm older by a few years of you Lady Lily." She smiled. "Really? Huh. I would've never known. How many years?" I helped both out of bed. "Well I'm older than you by four years and I'm older than your sister by seven." Their surprised faces are what make me smile the most. "You're twenty?!?" Both scream-asked me. I nodded and chuckled. "Shall we pick out your dresses now?" Both nodded excitedly and ran towards the newly stocked closet of clothes for them.
"I want the blue one!"
"I want the green one!"
They pulled their dresses off their hooks and looked at me. "I'll help Lady Lily since you're going to have to get used to wearing a corset around." She nodded and smiled brightly. "Turn around. Oh! And do pay heed this MIGHT hurt." She frowned but replaced it with a smile. "I'm prepared!" I nodded and slipped the corset on her after taking her nightgown off. I started tightening it slowly. "I won't pull it too tightly." She nodded and I pulled it tight but not too tight. "Nn.. It's tight. I don't see how women can wear this thing!" I chuckled softly. After finishing with the corset I slipped her blue dress on her and helped her when needed with the dress. I then looked over at Violet. "Ready for your dress?" She nods and smiles eagerly. "Alright."
~~Time skip to afternoon~~
"My lady, you have an invitation to a party tonight by Earl Ciel Phantomhive. Would you like me to go buy you a ball gown?" She smiled. "A party? Can I come with you?" I smiled and nodded. "Of course my lady." She got up and skipped over to me, locking arms with me. "Can Violet come with us to the party at Earl Ciel..." I nodded. "Phantomhive. He's also known as the Queen's guard dog. While you're known as Ocelot." She looks up at me with a surprised look. "Wait... I'm known as the Ocelot? Really?!" I nodded. "You don't only protect he Queen but you also protect the people around you and your home." She nods and smiles brightly.
~~Time skip to store~~
"Oh! Look at this one! It's so beautiful! Let's get this one!" I smiled and bought the dress. "I can't wait for this party! I'm so excited!! When do we leave?" I took out my pocket watch to check the time. "In a few hours actually. We better hurry to the manor and get you in your dress." She smiled brightly and practically climbed into the carriage without me having to open the door for her. "I can see you really are pretty excited about this party." I climbed into the carriage after her with her dress in hand. I smiled at how happy I'll see her be at this party. 'I hope nothing goes wrong or else something will go incredibly wrong for who ever ruins her smile.' I chuckled at the thought of hurting who ever would hurt someone as precious as her. We soon arrived at the manor as I climbed out I was greeted by two men. "Hello. Who might you be?" I obviously knew who hey were but I'll play it safe... For now. "I'm Alois~!" I helped my master out of the carriage and turned towards them. "Good evening." I turn to look at the golden eyed butler. "And who might you be?" With his same emotionless face he simply said, "I'm Claude Faustus."
"I'm Lisandar and this is Lady Lily." I say as I gesture to my master. "Hello!" She said as happily as she could. "Claude~! Let's get ready for Ciel's party~!!" I chuckles at the young earl. I walked towards the doors of our manor with Lady Lily and the two men following close behind. I opened the doors. "Alois, Claude if you'll follow me I'll show you both to your rooms since a presume you'll be stay here?" Alois seemed pretty amazed I guessed that. Claude eyed me suspiciously like I was a spy. I chuckled. "Just a lucky guess is all." I gave them a reassuring smile. I gestured them to follow me and with both men both sure and unsure about following me I showed them their rooms while Lady Lily went to the study. As soon as I left to check on my master I heard a crash in the kitchen. 'Hmm...' I hurried over to the kitchen to see Lady Violet holding her left hand that's bleeding and a broken plate on the ground. I chuckle softly. "Lady Violet would you like to see a magic trick?" She shook her head. "I'm sure you do. It'll fix both of these problems, I promise you." She looked up at me. "R-really?" She had some tears running down her face. I nodded and gave a smile. I took out my handkerchief from my left breast pocket and walked over to her. "Ready?" She nodded. I laid the handkerchief over her left hand, even though it's getting soaked in blood I have another trick for that. "Isn't that ruining it?" I gave a reassuring smile. "I have another trick for this. Ready to see both fixed now?" She nodded again. I slowly pulled the handkerchief off of her hand and move so she could see the plate, both of which have been fixed. "See?" She giggled softly. "Amazing! Do it again!" I chuckled. "I don't think we want either to happen again but I'll show you this."
I showed her the bloodied handkerchief. "What's your favorite flower?" She stood there thinking for a few seconds before saying, "Tulips!" I nod. "I bet I can turn this into a tulip of your favorite color." She giggled. "You don't know my favorite color!" I smile. "That's what makes this a great trick. You'll see." I gave her one last look at the handkerchief before the magic happens. I threw the handkerchief into the air to distract her. "Eh? Where's it go?!" I chuckled. "Look in your hand, Lady Violet." She looked down and practically screamed. "How?!?" Which ended up with everyone showing up in the kitchen. I turned towards everyone. "It's okay... Just a magic trick I showed Lady Violet. She's just asking how." I chuckled softly and turned back to Lady Violet. "I great magician never tells their secrets, Lady Violet." She frowned but smiled. "Will you teach me someday?" I nod and excuse myself to help Lady Lily. I quickly arrive at her room. "Sorry my lady, your sister wanted me to show her another magic trick." She giggled. "That's alright as long as we can go to the party." I nod and grab her dress, laying it on the bed. "Actually... Let's go with another magic trick, yes~?"
"Really?"
"Mhm."
"I'm ready."
"I'm going to have to blindfold you though."
She frowned but giggled. "I understand why." I nodded and places the blindfold over her eyes. I grabbed her shoulders and spun her a few times then stopped her. "This was a really easy one but it's tricky to figure out." She takes her blindfold off and stares amazed into the mirror. "Wow!" She turned and looked at me. "Awww..." I raised my brow. "What's wrong my lady?" She frowns. "I was expecting you to change into a making outfit as mine." She said looking away. "I mean for.. You know!" I chuckled. "I can if you want me to, I can. It's not a problem for me." She shook her head. "If it'll make you happier I'll do it." She looked at me with a smile. "Really?" I nodded. "Anything for you, my lady." I bowed then snapped my fingers after covering Lady Lily's eyes. "Hmm... How about I reverse the colors?"
"That's fine."
"Okay." I snapped my fingers again. "There. Too much of any color minus black makes you stand out when you're a butler." She giggled. "Shall we go?" She nodded and locked arms with me. As I lead the way to the carriage we stopped to see both Alois and Claude waiting for us.
"I hope you weren't waiting long." Lady Lily said to the two men. "Are we all taking one carriage?" Everyone nodded in agreement. I walked Lady Lily to the carriage once Alois was inside. Claude helped Lady Lily then looked at me. I instinctively looked at the ground without realizing it which earned a smirk from him. I sighed and climbed into the carriage, sitting next to my master with Claude sitting directly across from me and Alois from Lady Lily. Lady Lily stared out of the window the whole time while I stared at the door. 'I hope this night goes by quickly...' I heard a soft chuckle from across from me. I looked from the corner of my eye... 'Really?' After a few minutes of this fun carriage ride we arrived at the Phantomhive manor. Claude was the first to get out who was greeted my who I presume was his eternal enemy by the way they were glaring at each other, Sebastian Michaelis. The tall, devilishly 'sexy', short raven black hair. Which earned a chuckle from myself and a giggle from my master. I got out and helped my master out of the carriage with the help of the new butler, Sebastian. Claude helped out Alois who was fussing because I didn't help him out of the carriage. I chuckled at the young earl's behavior once again. We all walked to the front doors, Sebastian opened the doors. Once my master saw the inside of the manor she was awestruck, smiling like an idiot. "This'll be fun~!!" Everyone shuffled inside and went to do what they do best. I stood on the sidelines of the ballroom, watching everyone have a good time. I soon spaced out while staring at a nearby wall. "Lisandar?"
"Hm?" I turned to look who called me from my daze, Lady Lily.
"Can we dance? Well... Can you teach me how at least?" I smiled and offered my hand. "May I have this dance, my lady?" She blushed slightly, smiled and took my hand. I lead her to the center and showed her where to put her hands and places mine in their place. "Follow my lead. We'll start dancing along with the music, alright?" She nods. I closed my eyes, waiting for the moment to start dancing which catches everyone's eyes. I opened my eyes and we started dancing in sync with the music. Lady Lily was amazing at keeping up with me. After a few minutes of dancing we stopped and smiled at each other. I looked around to see everyone whispering to each other in awe. 'Heh. I guess the timing really makes people awestruck?' I saw a familiar butler across the room pondering what had just happened. I chuckled softly and returned to the sidelines but on my way there I heard a few women whispering, "I want to dance with him!" Or "How can someone dance so perfectly and with the music?" I smiled to myself and stood where I once was at the sidelines.
I heard someone walking up to me and heard a familiar voice rind in my ears. "Lisandar~!!" Alois waltz up to me and whispers to me. "Why don't you wear a dress for the rest of the party~?" I shook my head. "I can not. I don't like to show skin or wear dresses." He eyed me suspiciously. I chuckled and smiled. "I'm just messing with you. I don't wear dresses because I am a butler and I'm dedicated to my work." He laughed at my statement. I rolled my eyes as he walked off. 'I know exactly what you're going to do and I won't allow it.' I wondered to the food table and picked up a small delicious looking cake. I heard some commotion across the way. 'Hm?' I turned around before I could eat the tiny cake to see Lady Lily getting yelled at by higher class woman. I quickly rushed over with the cake still in hand. "What do you think you're doing stepping on my foot?! You're more coordinated when you're dancing!! Why can't you be like that when you're not?!" I walked over and glared at the snob of a woman. "Excuse me ma'am but I'm sure my master is truly sorry to have stepped on your foot. You have my deepest apologies as well," I said with a bow then the woman sudden relaxed in my presence. She smiled at me. "I'm truly sorry! I shouldn't have over reacted like that, my deepest apologies!" I raised a brow but smiled and nodded my acknowledgement of her apology. 'Okay I understand people think I'm a guy but please! I'm not that charming or.....sexy...., am I? Hmm.' She walked away then I looked at my master, hearing a few whispers but ignored them. "Are you alright my lady?" She nodded but I could see that she was a bit sad. I handed her the small cake and smiled at her. "If this won't cheer you up I'll take you to their garden." She smiled slightly, taking the cake and nodded at my last statement. She bit into the small cake and her face lit up you could visibly see her eyes sparkling. "I presume you love sweets by your expression, yes?" She nodded vigorously. "Absolutely!"
"Can you take me to their garden?" I nodded and extended my hand for her to take. As she took my hand I felt a pair of eyes on me. 'Great...' I lead my master to the Phantomhive's garden anyways. She smiled brightly. "It's so beautiful!" I turned around o see a figure, knowing who it was I called out. "Sebastian?" The figure walked close to reveal of course, Sebastian Michaelis. He smiled at me the turned his gaze to my master. "Do you like them?" My master turned to him and nodded. "They're very lovely flowers." I looked out into the garden then turned my gaze back to Sebastian. 'I wonder...' I looked around again but frowned. 'I guess they don't have any.' I looked at my master who walked over to the roses. She always has that smile on her face... I can literally hear "Over and Over" by Three Days Grace play in the back of my mind.
I feel it everyday it's all the same
It brings me down but I'm the one to blame
I've tried everything to get away
So here I go again
Chasing you down again
Why do I do this?
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
It feels like everyday stays the same
It's dragging me down and I can't pull away
So here I go again
Chasing you down again
Why do I do this?
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you
Over and over, over and over
You don't even try
So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head
I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead
I know what's best for me
But I want you instead
I'll keep on wasting all my time
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you
Over and over, over and over
You don't even try to
"My lady?" I asked to see if she was spacing out at the beauty of the flowers. She turns to me and frowns. I raised my brow. "My lady what's wrong?" I look over to where Sebastian was but he had already left. My master started crying and hugged me tightly. "M-my lady?" I instinctively bring my arms around her. It's been so long since I was able to hold her in my arms while she cried... I looked down at her. "I'm sorry my lady." She looked up at me with those tear filled eyes and smiled. "You remembered... I'm sorry my lady," I hugged her tightly then let go. "I have a new promise for you my lady." She let go of me and I got on my knee, my right hand on my chest with my head down. I had to tell..."I promise to protect, serve, care, comfort..." I mumbled the last part but didn't look up at my master. She knelt down in front of me, I looked up at her. "I understand what you're saying. I'm happy." I was then pulled into a tight hug. This surprised me. "M-my lady? Are you sure?" I looked her in the eyes. She nodded. "Hey... Lisandar. I never noticed but your eyes are so mesmerizing. Your right one is blood red and your left is grey," she smiled like she was in a trance. 'I wonder...' I softened my eyes to see what would happen. She pulled me into a passionate kiss, surprisingly it was much better than I could've imagined. She pulled away from me and we both smiled at each other. I stood up, picking her up as well. As she giggled I carried her back to the party. Once we got back inside I set her down and she instantly wrapped her arm with mine. We walked back to the party to see the guests have left only Claude, Alois, Sebastian and who I'd presume is Earl Ciel Phantomhive. Ciel spotted us and walked over. "We have a few questions for you." I nodded. "I'll answer anything I'm asked." He nodded and the questions began.
"You don't seem like you're from here... Where exactly are you from?" I chuckled. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you but I'll tell you anyways. I'm from the future. I'm a government experiment sent back into time... Well I just instead asked if I could go to a world of my choice, I chose yours." The nodded but pondered the thought. Alois asked the next question. "What gender are you really?" I smiled. "That's easy. I'm a female." Ciel was shocked by this but brushed it off. "You seem to have different powers from us. How?" Sebastian asked while meaning Claude and himself when he said "us." "Like I said I'm a government experiment. I was a successful one so I gain superhuman abilities. I'm also different species or races depending on how you want to say it. I'm a demon, angel, vampire and shinigami. I hardly am my shinigami side but I'm the other minus my angel side most of the time." I guess that was too much information to take it, right? Correct~! I confused all four of them, even Claude. "Sorry too much information for one to handle?"
Claude asked the last question but was interrupted by the front doors of the Phantonhive manor being kicked in. 'Damn...' I instantly saw Mrs. Fisher, the evil stepmother, and I protectively hid my master behind myself. "Mrs. Fisher what do you want?" Everyone looked at me. "Great!" Ciel said and I chuckled. "I'll fix the doors after this it'll be quick and simple." Mrs. Fisher walked in with and angry aura around her but she was with another figure. Once the figure came out of the shadows I was breath taken. "A-ace?!" 'My own twin brother? But how?' "Alyssa?" He ran up to me and hugged me tightly. "You're working for... It over there?" He nodded while I sighed. "I order you to kill her!!" I chuckled, jumped back from my twin brother and stood with open arms. "Go ahead and kill your own twin sister, Ace. I dare you~" By now the four we more confused but pieced it together slowly. "Yes my lady," was all Ace said before he lunged at me. "I think is battle would be best outside, yes?" He shook his head. "You'll make a mess Ace. You usually always do but that's my brother."
~~Skipping part of the fighting scene~~
Ace and I have been at it for about an hour now.. We keep dodging each other's attacks. I looked over at my master to see her stepmother taking her away. "Hey Ace what was her contract?" He stopped for a second. "She wanted her daughters back and to get revenge on you." I chuckled. "How about..." I appeared next to the evil stepmother and waves at her. "Hello Mrs. Fisher, how are you?" She growled. "Better now that I have both my daughters."
"Really? Hmm.... I don't think you'll live long enough to be with them." I heard Ace walk towards be from behind. "I forgot to tell you sis..." He stabbed his own master. "Ace?" He smiled and said, "I don't follow orders well." I shook my head. "You're not allowed to do that." He laughed. "I'm not who I used to be, sis. I'm a different kind." This isn't my Ace. "Where's my real brother?" He smirked. "You can't even see me as your brother because I've changed! Wow! Well I need to get going!" With that he walked out the front doors of the Phantomhive manor. I ran after him and again I could hear a song playing in my mind.... "Friend or Foe" by t.A.T.u
Is it too late
Nothing to salvage
You look away
Clear all the damage
The meaning to
All words of love
Has disappeared
We used to love one another
Give to each other
Lie under covers so,
Are you friend or foe
Love one another
Live for each other
So, are you friend or foe
Cause I used to know
The promises
Hollow concessions
And innocent show of affection
I touch your hand
A hologram
Are you still there
We used to love one another
Give to each other
Lie under covers so,
Are you friend or foe
Love one another
Live for each other
So, are you friend or foe
Cause I used to know
Is it too late
Nothing to salvage
You look away
Clear all the damage
The meaning to
All words of love
Has disappeared
We used to love one another
Give to each other
Lie under covers so,
Are you friend or foe
Love one another
Live for each other
So, are you friend or foe
Cause I used to know
"Ace!! Just answer this one question! Are you friend or foe?" He looked his shoulder. My heart was racing a mile a minute. He simply said, "Foe." I knew it... I lost my only brother... The only brother I was really close with. You can visibly see the life drain from my eyes as he continued to walk away from me. My once protective brother is now corrupted by darkness. "Farewell brother," I whispered to the air. My master walked over to me and tugged on my jacket sleeve. "Lisandar?" I slowly turned my head to look at her. "Yes?" I said in a monotone voice. She became scared but asked her question anyways. "Are you alright." I nodded slightly and turned to the Phantomhive manor, snapped my fingers and everything that was damaged was repaired. "Let's go home my lady." I said picking her up and teleporting to our manor. Once we're inside I set my master down and start walking towards her room. My master stopped me by pulling on my arm. "Remember that promise you made me? Don't forget about it, please." I looked at her and bowed. "Yes my lady." I started walking again only to be stopped by her tugging on my arm again. "Lisandar?" I looked at her again. "Yes my lady?" She was slightly blushing. "Can... Can I kiss you again?" I shook my head but she forcefully kissed me anyways.
This kiss! I came back to reality and my eyes went back to their normal blood red and grey. I pulled away. "My lady?" She smiled. "I knew that'd bring you back!" She giggled and walk up the stairs to the master bedroom with me following behind. Once we got to master bedroom I opened the door for my mistress her younger sister was already asleep. We both quietly walked in and Lady Lily crawled into bed. "Lisandar," she whispered as I did the same. "Yes?" She laid on her back. "Can you give me a goodnight kiss?" I nodded and leaned over to kiss her forehead then I moved to kiss her lips and I gladly took the opportunity to. We shared our final kiss for that night. "Good night my lady," I whispered to her and walked out of the room. I walked down the hallways to my room and instantly laid on my bed. "Today wasn't too bad. I wonder what tomorrow morning will bring for us."
The Spider That's Hiding
The next morning I get up at 6 and get dressed for a good day. I exit my room then head for Lady Lily and Violet's room. I open the door quietly, closing it behind me then walk over to the curtains. I opened the curtains letting the risen sunlight into the once dark room. "Nn... Just five more minutes," Violet says while covering her face with a pillow. I chuckled softly. "My lady you must get up same for you Lady Lily. We have an important meeting with Earl Ciel Phantomhive this morning." My mistress was surprisingly wide awake after last night. "What's this meeting about, Lisandar?" I placed my thumb under my chin and my index finger on my chin, thinking. "He didn't say much in his letter but I'm sure it's important business." I walked to the closet and picked out a dress that I think would suit my mistress. She climbed out of bed and walked over to me. I chuckled because Lady Violet was still trying to go back to sleep. "Lady Violet.. You must get up. You'll be coming to this meeting as well." She shot up into a sitting position. "Really?!?" I nodded and she climbed out of bed quickly. I helped my mistress into her dress while Lady Violet picked out her dress. Once finished I moved to help Lady Violet. My mistress looked in the mirror to she how she looks. "This dress looks wonderful! How'd you know it would be wonderful on me?" I smiled. "Of course I'd know what'd look wonderful, amazing, stunning or beautiful on you my lady." I winked playfully which made her blush and I chuckled softly while Lady Violet giggled. "Shall we go to breakfast?" Both nodded and we were off to the dinning room. When both were seated at the table I went to retrieve the breakfast Mercer had made. I carried two trays to the dinning room both of which had their favorite meals.
~~Time skip to Ciel Phantomhive's manor~~
We arrived at the manor after thirty minutes. The door to the carriage opened and we were greeted by Sebastian. I climbed out of the carriage first. "Good day Lady Lily, Lady Violet." He extended his hand for Lady Lily to get out with which she happily took. He then helped Lady Violet out. I was instantly hugged tightly. "My lady... Please." Sebastian smirked. Lady Lily frowned and let go of me. "Alright..." I frowned but extended my hand to her which she gladly took. Lady Violet then locked arms with my right arm. I chuckled and looked down at her with a smile which she returned. Sebastian lead us all to Ciel's study. He knocked on the door and soon after the same monotone "Come in" was heard from the other side. He opened the door, allowing Lady Violet to go in first then Lady Lily and myself than himself. Ciel gestures for Lady Lily to sit across from him at his dress but she didn't want to leave my side. I leaned down and whispered into her ear, "I'll still be in the room with you." She nodded, let go of my hand and sat across from Ciel. Lady Violet stayed by my side, kind of hiding from Ciel and a little bit from Sebastian. "I brought you here on important business. The Queen has ordered us to work together to solve a case." Lady Lily looked surprised. "I've.. I've never heard of this." She look over at me and I shook my head. I didn't hear about either so don't ask me. "I see. This will be the first time we'll be working together." She nodded. "Will we be staying here?" Ciel nodded. "Sebastian," he looked up at his butler. "Show them to their rooms. We'll talk more after lunch." Sebastian bowed. "Yes my lord." Lady Lily got up and came to my side which we then followed Sebastian to their rooms.
"Sebastian I must inform you that Lady Violet can not sleep if she's not with her sister." He noted this but continues walking. Soon we arrived at their room. Sebastian opened the door for them. They both walked in and smiled brightly. I chuckled softly. "Both of you are so easy to make smile." I said smiling at the two ladies. "Lisandar?" I turned my gaze to Sebastian. "Yes?" He gestured to me to follow him. We walked out of the ladies room and I followed him to Ciel's study. 'Hmm...' He opened the door and walked in so I followed him. "Lisandar..." I looked towards Ciel. "Hm?" I raised a brow slightly. "Since we now know what you are but no what you can do. You'll need to help us on this case as well." I nodded. "Of course. I'm pretty sure I'll be of excellent use for this case." Ciel nods and waves me out if his study. I walked back to the ladies room. I knocked then opened the door. "My lady?" I was tackle hugged the instant I stepped foot into that room by Lady Lily. "You disappeared!! Violet got scared." I frowned and looked at Violet. "I'm sorry Violet. Ciel just needed to tell me something important. I'm here now so it's okay, right?" She nodded and walked over to hug me. Yes it was a group hug. "Okay okay," I said trying to free myself from this awkward hug that's gone on few one too many seconds. My mistress hugged me tighter. "You left without permission, you need to be punished!" I chuckled softly. "And just what punishment am I getting?" She giggled and kisses me multiple times. Lady Violet gets surprised by this. "Lily?" The little one asked. "Hm?" Lily looked down at her younger sister. "Isn't that wrong?" Lily giggled. "Not if you love the person." Violet nodded and smiled. "I'm happy for you both!" Both Lily and I smiled. "Hey Lisandar? Can you give me a piggyback ride?" I shook my head. "In a dress? I don think so." She frowned but smiled. "Then how about carrying me bridal style~?" I smirked. "As you wish, my lady." I picked her up bridal style. "Or would you rather~" I sat down and set Lady Lily in my lap which gained a blush from her. "R-really?" I nodded. She giggled while still blushing and wrapped her arms around my neck. I heard footsteps approaching and stood up. "What's wrong?" I looked at the door. "Someone's coming." She frowned. "It's fine. Let them see us like this." I nodded slightly and kept her in my arms. Sebastian appear at the doorway who was surprised at what was going on. He just stared slightly confused. I chuckled and smiled at him. "Do you get it?" I asked curiously. "Yes.." Hm. Lady Lily smiles brightly at him, he soon returned the smile. "I came to tell you that we'll be having another guest over." I hope it's not.... "Thank you Sebastian. We'll be ready for their arrival." He nodded then returned to his duties.
It had been an hour since Sebastian told us the guest would arrive. I was helping Sebastian with lunch preparations in the kitchen while Lady Lily was in a meeting with Ciel. (^.^ Just going to have conflict so soon after the last.) I heard a knock at the front door, both Sebastian and I walked to the front doors. I allowed him to open the doors and once he did a small girl ran past us scream, "CIEL!!!" God that scream- Ciel just happened to be walking down the stairs just in time with my master behind him. The small girl pulled Ciel into a death hug for what seemed like forever. "Lunch will be served shortly." I said while extending my hand out for Lady Lily who happen to haven't been noticed by the small girl yet. Lady Elizabeth and Ciel along with Sebastian walked to the dinning room first. Soon after Lady Lily and I walked in. I seated Lady Lily a couple seats down from Ciel who was sitting at the head of the table with Lady Elizabeth sitting close to him. Sebastian and I retrieved the meals, sitting them in front of each of the three then we returned to our posts by the wall with the other three servants of the Phantomhive manor. 'How have they been this quiet? I guess they're doing a good job then... Right? .....Sorry Sebastian I've probably just jinxed your problem.' Lady Elizabeth looked a little irritated while she ate, I raised my brow at this. Sebastian walked over and asked, "Lady Elizabeth is everything alright?" 'I know what's going to happen next don't I? A fight... But it will be stopped within seconds, right? Toon in next time to see what happens!'
'You'd really think I'd leave you on a cliffhanger? No I wouldn't do that to you reader.'
I stared at the young lady sitting close to Ciel. She pointed at my master demanding to know who she was and why she was here. "Who is that and why is she here at Ciel's manor?!" My master looked over at her and gave her a smile, "I'm here on a business arrangement I have with Ciel." Total lie but we can't just say "We're working on a case to catch a murderer" to Lady Elizabeth, she'll start to worry. Lady Elizabeth nodded at the reason. Minutes later lunch was over and I took the plates back to the kitchen to be cleaned because I didn't trust Mey-rin all too much yet. Lady Elizabeth went to go powder her nose afterwards. Ciel and Lady Lily were talking about the case until Lady Elizabeth came back.
~~Lady Violet's POV~~
I was walking down a random hallway from mine and Lily's room. I heard someone who sounded a bit annoyed in the bathroom. I didn't want to disturb them so I continued walking but the door to the bathroom opened with a girl about my age come out of it. "So your the one!" She pointed at me. "N-no!" I tensed up and became scared, my heart was racing a mile a minute because of her stare. I began to feel lightheaded. "Nn.. My head.." I held my head than blacked out.
~~Normal POV~~
I heard Lady Elizabeth scream her very loudest scream. Everyone rushed over to her. "Lady Violet!" Sebastian and I said at the same time. I quickly picked her up. "She'll be fine if she's with me. She's not breathing but I can fix this. No need to worry." Lady Lily and Lady Elizabeth were both crying by the time they heard she wasn't breathing. "Can you really fix this?" Ciel asked me not sure of my abilities and I nodded. "If you don't believe me then come to her room." Of course everyone followed me to her room. I looked at Ciel and whispered to him, "Lady Elizabeth doesn't know what I am or my powers so distract her somehow." Sebastian heard my whispering and asked Lady Elizabeth if she wanted to go to the garden with Ciel, she declined and turned to me. I smiled. "It'll be just fine Lady Elizabeth. Lady Violet will be better in no time. Why don't you go to the garden with Ciel for a bit to calm down," I said in my most calming voice which she calmed down a bit with just that and nodded. "A-alright..." Ciel and Lady Elizabeth went to the garden while Sebastian and Lady Lily stayed. "Time for some magic." I said smiling. I place right hand over Lady Violet's heart and using my healing powers my hand started to glow white, this shocked both Sebastian and Lady Lily. "H-how is that?" I heard Lady Lily say. "Just mere magical spell is all." Within a few minutes Lady Violet's eyes opened slowly.
"Wha? What happened?"
"You fainted because of your heart but now you're better." She was breathing slowly but at least she breathing. "Why don't you rest for now, alright?" She nodded and rolled onto her side. The three of us left for her to rest. I felt tension in the manor again. I leaned over to Lady Lily and whispered, "Stay close to me. I sense something is wrong." She nodded and stay half behind me half not. "Why not Ciel?!" I heard Lady Eliabeth cry out. "Because they're my guest and I can not just throw a guest out without having a real reason, Elizabeth." I heard hear her verbally pout which made me chuckle. I heard someone running in the manor and into a room. "This won't be good." Sebastian looked at me funny. I simply said, "Advanced hearing... Ten times better than a humans but also more annoying than a humans when someone yells." He nodded in agreement. We walked down the main stairs while Ciel walked up them. "Sebastian!" He called out to his tall butler.
"Yes my lord?"
"Prepare my tea and bring it to my study."
"Yes my lord," he said with a bow.
"Lady Lily stay here while I go help the other servants in the kitchen." She nodded and stayed put.
~~Lady Lily's POV~~
I did as my butler said but I wondered around the room looking at all the decorating. "This manor is just beautiful." I heard footsteps behind me. "I guess I'll just have to get rid of you myself!" I heard Lady Elizabeth yell from behind me. I turned around to face her, she had a knife in her hands. "Lady Elizabeth, calm down." She sliced at me but I easily stepped back, dodging the blade and she swung again. 'Lisandar... You were right!' I braced myself but all I heard was fabric tearing. "Right? Right about what, Lady Lily?" I heard her say and some how she was right in front of me and I was unharmed. "Wait! Lisandar!" Lady Elizabeth calmed down in my presence and was surprised at what she has done, she dropped the knife which echoed throughout the manor. "I'm so sorry!! I'm causing too much trouble today I should just leave!" I smiled down at her. "It's truly okay, Lady Elizabeth," I say calmly. "But you're hurt!" She started to cry so I patted her head. "It's okay, it'll heal just like how Lady Violet healed today." She looked surprised. "Violet's okay?" I nodded. "Take me to her. I want go say I'm sorry to her as well." I showed her back to Lady Violet's room, opening the door which awoke the young lady from her rest. "Sorry Lady Violet but Lady Elizabeth wanted to say she was sorry." Lady Elizabeth was still in tears as she walked in and cried even harder once we was in the room. "I-it's okay, Elizabeth. I'm perfectly okay now I just need rest." Lady Violet said while sitting up. Lady Elizabeth walked over and hugged Violet in a tight but not too tight hug. "I'm sorry Violet and I'm sorry Lily for all that I've caused." Both nodded, accepting her apology. Ciel and Sebastian came into the room. "I could hear you crying from my study, Elizabeth." Ciel said walking over to her wiping her face with his handkerchief. "I'm sorry Ciel." She said looking down and hugged him. "It's alright Elizabeth." She nods and smiles."I think I'll go home now." Sebastian left the room to call a carriage.
Minutes later a carriage arrived and everyone said their goodbyes to Lady Elizabeth. "Bye Ciel~!!" She said now returned to her usual happy state. Lady Elizabeth left and we all returned to what we were doing. "Lisandar?" I looked down at my master. "Yes?" She hugged me. "Thank you for saving me. Oh.. Your wound healed didn't it?" I nodded. "You're welcome, my lady." She smiled at me.
~~Time skip to night~~
"Lisandar?" I turned my gaze from my master to her younger sister. "Yes Lady Violet?" She looked at the ground for a second then back at me. "I think I'm ready to sleep on my own." I nodded. "I'll have to talk to Ciel about that." She nodded and I walked of to Ciel's study just as he was leaving to his bedroom. "Ciel. I must ask you... Lady Violet is ready to have a room to herself. Is it alright if she has the room next to Lady Lily?" He sighed. "That's fine." I nodded and walked back to Lady Violet and Lady Lily. "Ciel said it was fine. Follow me to your new room." Lady Violet nodded and followed me to her room. She climbed into bed and snuggled into the blankets. "Good night Lady Violet." I closed the door and went back to my master's room. "My lady-," I paused because she was practically frozen. "My lady is everything alright?" She pointed to her nightstand. I looked walked over and saw a small spider and chuckled. I placed my hand for it to climb on to and so it did. I walked to the window and opened it. "Farewell spider." I set my hand on the bottom of the window and allowed the spider to crawl off my hand and outside then closed the window. I heard my master give a sigh of relief which made me chuckle. I turned towards my her and walked over. "So my mistress is afraid of spiders~?" She playfully hit me. "It's not funny!" I chuckled again as she climbed into bed. I gave her a goodnight kiss then walked to the door to leave, opening it slightly. Wait! Can you stay with me?" I closed the door and turned towards her with a nod. "Sure my lady." I walked over to her bed and sat at the edge. She giggles at this and pulls me by my arm to lay down next to her. We both are blushing slightly.
"Goodnight my lady."
"Goodnight Lisandar," she said closing her eyes.
I gave her one last goodnight kiss then closed my eyes.
Mystery Man
I wake up from my sleep and get up. "Hm?" My master wasn't beside me. I checked what time it was, 6 am. Hm... I changed clothes and went to the dinning room. I see Alois sitting at the head of the table with Lady Lily a few seats down eating breakfast. "Ably time you woke up!" I heard the blonde boy say. "Let me guess... Claude did this? Why didn't you bring Lady Violet who was in the room next door?" He stared at me emotionless not saying anything. "Let me guess again... Orders from the young earl." Alois stood up and walked over to me. "I've missed you!" I chuckled since I remember how he huffed over me not helping him out of the carriage. "It's been awhile since we last talked. It's good to see you again." He clapped his hands together. "Let's have a duel~!" 'A duel, eh?' "Alright I'll play this game." Alois started walking off we all followed, Lady Lily was being a bit too quiet. I slowed down my pace to let her catch up to me. "My lady? What's wrong?" She looked at the ground. "I'll ask you later then." We continued to walk until we got to the garden. If this doesn't cheer her up then nothing can. "This is where the battle will begin." I nodded at Alois. "Claude battle Lisandar~!!" Alois ordered his butler to battle me. "Yes your highness." 'This should be fun~.'
We both took our starting positions about twenty meters from each other. "Lisandar battle Claude and win!" I nodded, "As you wish my lady." I took out my black knives and Claude took out his golden knives. "Begin~!" Alois said from the sidelines and with that the battle began. We both threw knives at each other while dodging the other's knives. I jumped up onto a statue and strategized his movements. 'You always dodge to your right... Let's change that.' I threw a knife at him, his right side and his left side. 'That'll get you in the air.' He jumped into the air and landed on a statute across from mine. "Heh. Now..." He smirked at me and heard the triplets come up behind me and jump at me. I did a backflip off the statue landing quietly on the ground. "Unfair fight, eh?" I heard Hannah walk up with a gun. "Really a gun, Hannah?" She chuckled and shot. I easily dodge the bullet but she shot several times all around me, I let her have this one and let them hit me. This worried my mistress. I laughed and started healing myself making the bullet get pushed out of the wounds. Hannah wasn't surprised at all. I threw a knife at her head, she didn't move until the last second. 'Heh.' The triplets and Claude appeared and surrounded me with Hannah. "Ready for a magic trick? Poof~" I said as I teleported away from the circle of death if you were anything other than a demon. This surprised Alois and also excited him. "Show more of your powers!!" He yelled at me. "Alright.. Want to see fire bending?!" He nodded excitedly. Heh... This should be good. I places my hand out with the palm facing the sky, clinched my hand into a fight then unclenched my hand quickly to use my fire power. Fire was now in the palm of my hand. I shot a big fire ball at the triplets making them separate then shot another at Timber, catching his left pant leg on fire. "Tag~! You're it!" I said childishly.
Claude then appeared behind me. I looked over my shoulder at him. "Seems you lose," he said to me with a knife to my neck like we're really playing a game of tag with five versus one. I chuckled softly. Then smiled. "Look again Claude~" he looked over his shoulder to see another me with a knife to his back. "It's a tie between us." He sighed and removed his golden knife from my neck. I made my second self disappear and the battle of tag was done for now. "Lisandar~!" I heard Alois call to me. "Yes?" He walked over to me.
"Lily has a secret she can't tell you~!"
"Secret?" He nodded and walked back to the manor. 'I knew she was hiding something...' I walked to my master with a worried face. "My lady?" She looked away and I frowned then she walked back into the manor without a word. "My lady...." Claude chuckled from behind me and walked after his master. 'You did something didn't you? You...' He stopped and looked over his shoulder with a smirk on his face then continued to walk. Betrayal... That's all that it is. I knew he was that spider from the other night.... I walked back into the Trancy manor without a word and followed my master to Alois' study. Claude opened the door the door, allowing Alois and Lily to walk in then walked in himself. I walked in last and stayed by the door. "Lily and I have to talk privately. Claude." Claude nodded and left, I followed him then walked a few doors down the hall pulling Claude with me who was annoyed. "Claude... Simple question: what did you do to my master?" He chuckled softly. "I just told her the truth about you. That you don't really love her because you love someone else." I shook my head. "I don't love anyone else." He smirked. "Really then what were you doing on the way to the party at the Phantomhive manor? Staring at the carriage door because you couldn't look at me." I was shocked. Impossible.. "Maybe I just didn't want to look in any other direction but the carriage door. I'm a weird person so I would do something like that at times." He chuckled. "And what about the time before that when you looked down when I was going to help you into the carriage?" I was shocked again. "Help me? I.. I don't need help with that..." 'I'm fine with getting in a carriage myself. I don't need help from a s- Nope.' He most have read my mind because he smirked.
I crossed my arms and looked away. "And why do you presume that I like you?" He chuckled softly. "You're blushing."
"Am not!" He nodded in disagreement.
"I am not blushing! I don't blush.." I turned away from him. "This is why I don't like people." He chuckled again. I sighed and walked back to Alois's study. "I'm sure they're done talking, yes? I'm sure this was all just set up by you, right?" He sighed. "Ha~! I win!" I did a mental victory dance and opened the study door. Alois and Lily were acting like they were done with their meeting of lies. Yep "Meeting of Lies." Alois frowned. "How'd you find out?" A little detective skills I learned. Lily giggled, got up and hugged me. "Glad you figured out who." I raised a brow. "My lady?" She smiled brightly.
"We can go back to the Phantomhive manor now."
"You did all this just to..." I mentally facepalmed. "Just... And the short game of tag was that a set up too or was it actually real?" Alois thought for a second. "Real~!" Now I also just started a battle of tag against............. It......... 'It' doesn't get a name or gender anymore in my head. My master left the study to find her own way to the main stairs. I followed shortly after her. Upon arriving at the stairs my master looked at me. "I'm not mad or upset with you," she said with a bright smile. "My lady.. I'm not sure anything would happen between him and I so you have nothing to worry about." She shook her head. "You should've seen him this morning, he was determined to get you to realize it yourself." H- It really was like that...? The carriage arrived for us and we soon departed from the Trancy manor with a promise to visit again.
~~Claude's POV~~
"I will visit you shortly." I said I myself as the two left my master's manor.
~~Time skip to night at the Phantomhive manor, normal POV~~
After I said goodnight to both Lady Lily and Lady Violet I went to my room. I took off my coat and vest leaving only my dress shirt on then removed my tie and set it on my dresser. I felt arms wrap around me soon after. "Hello my love," the voice said softly into my ear. "C-Claude?" With that I was turned around to meet.....
Choice: Sebastian
I saw a pair if red eyes and a soft smile looking down at me. "Sebastian?" He nodded and hugged me tightly. "I didn't know..." He gave me a reassuring smile. "It's quite alright." I smiled at him and chuckled. He raised his brow. "What's funny?" I shook my head. "Nothing!" He narrowed his eyes and picked me up. "Wha?! Don't pick me up so quickly!" He chuckled. "You're surprisingly light." I crossed my arms. "And you have a surprisingly good observation." He chuckled and walked over to my bed. He sat down and places me beside him. "Oh~! I can show you another magic trick like the one I did when Lady Violet was sick. Want to see~?" He nodded. "Of course." I chuckled. "Oh.. And do be gentle." I got up from my bed and stood a few feet in front of him. "Ready?" He nodded again. "Poof~" I changed into my cat form and his face lit up. He picked me up and petted my head then moved on to play with my front paws. I meowed at him. "I also have another cat form~" I said while he was still mesmerized by my cat form. "I'd love to see it." He said reluctantly putting me down on the floor. I changed into my neko form. I chuckled softly because of what I was wearing, clothes from my time period. "Sorry.. Nyah~... These are clothes from my time, I'll need to change." He chuckled and patted the spot next to him. I got up and sat next to him. He started scratching behind my ears and I purred. "I guess I should tell you this... When I'm my usual self if you pet my head I'll change into this form. Don't do it when people are around, it'd really confuse them. Oh and Ciel shouldn't be allergic to me if I'm in my cat form or this form." He smiled brightly. "My own kitten~?" I blushed badly. "Well... Umm..." I looked away. He chuckled and turned my head towards him. "No need to hide. What's wrong?" I nodded and smiled. "It's just.. In my time period people look down at me because of my powers and just mainly what I am in general. Once they hear I'm a government experiment they ignore me or leave thinking I'll go insane or something. It's ridiculous.. That's one reason I came to this period because it's easier to hide, easier to be myself around those who understand me."
I looked down. "Sorry... I'm just babbling..." He frowned. "No, it's alright. You were telling me about your past so it's fine." I looked up at him. "Really?" He nodded and hugged me tightly.
"Hey... Sebastian?" I said leaning against his chest.
"Yes?"
"Do you really love me or are you just lying to make me happy?" I could see he was surprised by my words. "It's just relationships I had in my time always perish.. Always end terribly with them lying or betraying me.. I've been betrayed too many times to want to trust people yet I'm here..." He hugged me tightly. "Why should I need to lie to you? You've obviously been hurt so many times." I sit up right and stare at him with a serious look. "I'm still human and I know you're a demon. Don't lie to me if it's my soul. Plus I know it is because-" He forcefully kisses me. It was filled with passion yet lustful. He pulled away and smirks at my blush and my tail swaying happily. I cross my arms and turn away from him. "Good way to shut me up and make me blush but terrible way to make me smile." He chuckles.
"You're smiling right now."
"Am not!" I turned my back to him, smiling slightly and tail swaying happily. 'Impossible to work with...' He chuckles again and hugs me from behind. "Don't tease me~" I looked at him from the corner of my eye and saw his glowing pink eyes. I chuckled softly. "And if I do?" He tightened his arms around me. "You'll be punished." Yep... "Whispers in the dark" by Skillet was playing in the back of my mind.
Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning, consuming fire
[Chorus:]
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is
Just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses
I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is
A burning, consuming fire
[Chorus x2]
Whispers in the dark [x3]
I turned towards him. "You'll punish just about anyone wouldn't you?" He raised his brow. "Considering we've only met a few days ago... It hasn't been that long since we've known each other. Should I dare say it? Love at first sight? I don't believe so because back then we were no where near each other or talked at all. So how? How can you just say "my love" to someone you've only known for a short amount of time?" He thought for a second then said, "Simple-"
"If it's simple then I guess I've already guess the answer meaning I've been lied to, yes?" He shook his head. "It can't be simple without the answer being a lie." He chuckled at my knowledge of love. "I'm just going off experiences I've had. I don't expect love to be any different here than it was in my time period. Men are liars, I don't trust them." He sighed. "Shall I show you again?" He asked and I shook my head, crossing my arms. "I don't see a point into why you would love someone like me. Someone so different from yourself." He chuckled. "I guess I do need to show you." I stood up and shook my head. "I've been shown enough things today. Thank you for the offer though, Sebastian." He pulled me by my arm into his lap and kissed me forcefully but this time filled with lust. He forced his tongue into my mouth with his eyes glowing pink. Another song yay~ I heard hear "The Thirst is Taking Over" by Skillet in the back of my head.
[CHORUS:]
You alone are what my soul needs
You know the thirst is taking over
Hardly breathe, I'm in urgent need
You know the thirst is taking over
The thirst is taking over
Hold me down, hold me down
Drip it on my tongue
And my convulsions stop
Thirst for love, thirst for your love
I could swallow your beauty whole
[CHORUS]
Running out, times running out
Searching for the one who can conquer me
I'm going to scream aloud, throw it down
Crash in the sweet obsession of you
I'm going to swim and drown in the wake of you
[CHORUS]
The thirst is taking over
I wanna taste it
I need to taste it
Deep in the Saviors arms
[CHORUS]
I wanna drink you in
I am drinking you in
I wanna drink you in
Hardly breathe, I'm in urgent need
You know the thirst is taking over
The thirst is taking over
I wanna taste it
I need to taste it
Deep in the Saviors arms
The kiss lasted for several minutes until he finally pulls away. "Understand now?" He asked as I was stunned, utterly shocked, blushing. "Wha?" I shook my head to get out of my trance. "That was really unneeded Sebastian..." He chuckled. "It was apparent that is was." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. I transformed back into my usually self, without the ears and tail. He frowned a little but smiled knowing he was holding me. I looked up at him. "Shouldn't we be going to bed? Isn't it midnight?" He sighed knowing he'll have to leave my side in the morning. "Yes.." I chuckled softly and escaped his embrace and laid in my bed. He stood up but I pulled him back down by his sleeve. "Did you think you'd actually be leaving after what you've caused?" He chuckled and sat beside me and I pulled him to lay down, wrapping my arms around his chest and snuggling into it. "Love is confusing..." He smiled and hugged me tightly. "Goodnight, my kitten." I hugged him back tightly saying, "Goodnight."
Choice: Claude
I met golden eyes and a smile staring down at me. "Claude." I felt his arms wrap tighter around me when I said his name as if he's protecting me from something. I chuckled and wrapped my arms around his chest tightly, leaning against him. "I fulfilled my promise." I looked up at him. "Promise?" He nodded. "I promised I'd make you mine since the first time I saw you." I smiled. "Really now? You set promises that didn't need to be set because it was already going to happen..." I say blushing softly. He chuckled softly and walked me over to my bed, sitting down on it. I sat next to him then got an idea. "I know a trick that I know you'll love~!" He looked at me curiously. "I can turn into a spider~ and well every animal on this planet." He smiled. I placed my hand on his shoulder and trances formed into my spider form, setting myself on his shoulder. He placed his hand in front of me to crawl onto and I did so. He smiled even more than before. "My little spider," he said while petting my back since I was a tarantula. I let him have his moment of happiness for several more minutes until I crawled up his arm and down his back to the bed, transforming back to my usual self. I poked his shoulder to make him turn more towards me and in doing so he pulled me close.
I chuckled and wrapped my arms around him. "This has literally been a dream for me for several months now. Even now it feels like I'm dreaming." He hugged my tightly. "Dreams do come true." I laughed softly. "Hearing you say such a cheesy line like that I guess they really do." I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder. 'I hope this lasts forever.' He let go of me and took my chin in his hand, kissing me passionately.
[Intro:]
Stay for tonight
If you want to
I can show you
What my dreams are made of,
as I'm dreaming of your face
I've been away for a long time
Such a long time
And I miss you there
I can't imagine being anywhere else
I can't imagine being anywhere else but here
[Verse 1:]
How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, I could sing you a song
But I don't think words can express your beauty
It's singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we've been history
[Chorus:]
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
[Verse 2:]
It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are
What my dreams are made of
Can't fall asleep, can't fall asleep
I lay in my bed awake, in my bed awake at night
As I dream of you
I'll fall in love, you'll fall in love
It could mean everything, everything to me
I can't imagine being anywhere else
[Chorus:]
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
[Bridge (2x):]
The way that we are
Is the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know we'll be OK
[Chorus:]
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay as long as you need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay forever with me
We kissed for several minutes until I finally pulled away for air. He frowned slightly at this but I smiled at him. "Claude.. Do you love me for my personality or for my soul?" He thought only for a second answering with, "Love at first sight as you humans say." I chuckled. Another cheesy line we humans say. "Claude.. If it's my soul you want, tell me." He stared at me with his usual emotionless face. I frowned but nodded. "Alright.. Well..." I unwrapped my arms from him and just say there staring at my bed sheets. 'I guess it's true... All demons want is souls..' I purposely said this inside my head to test him. He didn't move but he looked like he was thinking. I mentally smiled at this. He then pulled me close again and kissed me a second time. The second time always proves that they love you. I pulled away and smiled. "I think I have enough proof to tell now." He smiled and hugged me tightly. I checked what time it was with my pocket watch. "It's midnight... We really should be sleeping." He chuckled softly and laid on his side, pulling me with him. "I'll just sleep here until morning." I nodded, wrapping my arms around him tightly. "Goodnight my little spider," he said hugging me tight. I hugged back tightly. "Goodnight my spider demon." We both smiled and closed our eyes, falling into a deep sleep.
"You're what's wrong."
I awoke to see _____ not next to me. "Guess he had to get to work early." I got up and got dressed quickly. I walked to the dining room, seeing everyone where they should be so I walked to my post by the wall. "Good morning." Sebastian whispered to me. I smiled up at him. "Sorry I was late..." He smiled. "It's alright. I handled the morning duties." I nodded and heard Ciel speak up. "Lily are you feeling okay?" She kept looking down. I walked over to her. "My lady? Are you alright?" I heard her soft sobs. "My lady..." She stood up but didn't move. I reached my arms out to her. "Stop!" She ordered me and I placed my hands back at my sides. "I'm sorry, my lady. Can you please tell me what's wrong?" She looked at me and gave me as serious a look as she could from her tear stained face. "You're what's wrong." Those words... I've heard them before...
~~Flashback to 20th century Alyssa's POV~~
It's been two months since Angel and I started dating. We were walking to a local park, just down the street from my house, holding hands. "Hey.. Angel.. You seem upset lately. Want to talk about it?" He shook his head. "I rather not get you involved." I nodded and we continued to walk. Five minutes later we arrive at the park. I let go of his hand and ran to a swing, acting like the child I was. He walked after me and sat on a swing next to me. I swung as high as I could and jumped out of my swing, landing perfectly. "Yay~!" I looked at Angel who was looking bored so I walked up to him and pulled him out of the swing and brought him to a thing at the park that you stood on and spun. "Get on~! It'll be fun!" He sighed softly and got on. I started spinning him and kept spinning him faster and faster. "Stop stop!" He yelled and I stopped him. He got off and walked around like a complete drunk, running into things here and there, tripping on nothing, etc. chuckling. He was actually chuckling. I smiled at his struggle to stay in one spot for more then two seconds. Once he was about the make everything stop spinning inside his head he turned to me and smirked. "You're turn~!!" I chuckled and shook my head. "I don get dizzy that easily so you'd have to try very hard." He nodded and pushed me onto the dizzying machine.
He spun me quite fast, I do admit I was a tiny bit dizzy but that's because I was wearing my glasses. He spun me faster and faster then stopped me all of a sudden which jerked me to my right. "Angel? Is something wrong?" I looked at him with concern in my eyes. He was looking to his right at some girl. "Is she an ex?" He nodded and looked down. I looked at the girl and she just so happened to walk straight over to us. "Hello, Angel. It's nice to see you after so long." She looks at me a scoffs. "Is this your new girlfriend? Downgraded much?" She rolls her eyes and smiles at Angel, leaning to his ear and whispering something into it. He smirked at what she said and I instantly rolled my eyes and walked away to a swing across the park. I heard both walking after me, more like Angel following me and his b*tch of an ex after him. I sat on a swing and started swinging. Angel sat a few swings down from me and his ex sat next to him. I over heard them talking.
"Why are you even dating her? Isn't she that government experience girl?"
"Yeah but she's actually pretty cool."
"You like her only for her powers don't you?" He looked if I was looking and nodded slightly.
"Dump her and date me again!" She demanded from him.
I stood up and stared at her seriously. "What's wrong with you? He broke up with you for a reason!!" She laughed and stood up as well. "What's wrong with me? You're what's wrong!! You shouldn't have been born into this world! Go back to the governments test labs!!" She yelled at me, I wasn't at all stunned because it's true. I then looked at Angel. "Angel? Do you agree?" I asked already knowing the answer. He stood up and turned away from me but looks over his shoulder. "She's right.. You're what's wrong."
~~Flashback end~~
Those words echoed inside my head. I was stunned, shocked, angered, sadden. I just had mixed emotions at that moment. "My lady..." She just turned away from me and walked off, Lady Violet followed her. Everyone was shocked. "My lady..." I disappeared and reappeared on too of the manor's roof. "Happens every time... Every goddamned time!!" I fell to my knees and punched the ground. I sensed a presence behind me but I didn't move or look at who ever it was. "Tell me... What's the point of love if you can't keep someone you loved dearly?" The person shuffled closer to me by now I could tell it was Sebastian. I looked over my shoulder at him to see him frowning. I chuckled. "You really shouldn't be worrying about me. This happens all the time.. That's why I don't get close to people unless I need to," I say while standing up. He frowned more, making me chuckle more. "I'm going to visit the Trancy manor with Lady Violet. Alois has requested her to visit the last time we were there." He nodded slightly then started to leave. I teleported to Lady Violet's room and knocked on her door.
"Lady Violet?" I opened the door to see her crying. "My lady..." I walked over and pulled out my handkerchief from my breast pocket. "My lady, what are you crying about?" She shook her head. "Here.. You tell me what's wrong and you'll get to go the Alois Trancy's manor, alright?" She looked up from her hands and I wiped her tear stained face with my handkerchief. "L-Lily yelled at m-me," she said between sniffles. I nodded. "I'll talk to her later about this. I made a promise to you. Are you ready?" She stood up and nodded. I picked her up and teleported both of us to the Trancy manor. I set her in her feet and knock on the door which opened rather quickly making Lady Violet hide behind me. "W-who's that?" I looked down at her and smiled. "That's Claude Faustus, Alois's butler." She nodded and stepped so she could see the tall man. "H-hello..." She whispered to him. He chuckled and moved to the side so we could enter the manor. "My master has been expecting you to return and with Lady Violet." He walked us to Alois's study. "Lisandar~!!" The young earl scream and tackle hugged me. He then looked and Lady Violet. "I presume this is Violet?" I nodded and stepped away from Lady Violet so she could be seen better by the young earl. "H-hello," she whispered to him making him chuckle softly. "I think we'll become great friends over the time you spend here~!" She nodded slightly and his behind me again. "Claude take Lisandar and show her to her room for the night, I'll personally show Violet hers." Claude bowed. "Yes your highness." Then started leaving. "Alois so be careful with her she gets very emotional when stressed, yelled at or in a predicament she can't get out of." He nodded and walked in the other direction that Claude and I were going, pulling Violet with him. Claude stopped at the room I presume is mine so I extended my hand for the doorknob and opened the door. I walked into the room and it smelled oddly familiar but I brushed it off. I mean I remember every smell I can so it's not unusual. I went and sat on the bed with my head in my hands, overthinking everything that's happened so far today. Claude closed the door and stood in front of me. I looked up at him to see a worried look on his face.
"Hm?" He crouches in front of me. "What's wrong?" He asks. Everyone's acting differently than they should, aren't they? "Lady Lily is just upset.. I think the plan you put together finally got to her." He nodded then sat next to me. "She agreed to it so just let her calm down on her own." I nodded but frowned. "I don't think she'll even talk to me.. Let alone look at me." He places an arm around me and pulls me close to him. "It'll be alright." I looked down. "Love is confusing when you love two people."
The Vision
"Alyssa," he said and I was shocked. No one calls me by my real name. "Claude.." He leaned in towards me for a kiss. I blinked and found myself laying down in bed. Hm... I sat up. "What time is it? How'd..." I sighed and I held my head, a massive headache emerged. 'Ugh... What is going on?' I got up and walked over to the door, opened it and walked out. As I meandered about the completely silent manor I came across a room with light shining from within. As I neared the door I heard voices, three of them to be exact. "Love, are you sure you'll be alright being here alone?" I heard a voice which sounded like Claude's say. "Yes, I'll be perfectly fine. I can defend myself if anyone intrudes. Don't worry so much, it's impossible to kill me with the weapons in this era," I heard myself say. "Claude she'll be okay! Let's go!" I heard Alois say who sounded much older now. I opened the door and saw... Saw myself a bit older than I am now holding a child with Claude, who hasn't changed at all, standing next to me and Alois standing by the door. 'Vision of my future with Claude? I'd quit my job as a butler? But.. Lady Lily...' I heard a noise from a room down the hall which also had a light shining from within. I heard four voices this time. "CIELL~!!! Isn't their child just adorable?!" Lady Elizabeth? She sounds older than she is now. I heard who I presume was Ciel sigh and agree after a few seconds. "Lady Elizabeth if you shout any louder you'll awaken her," Sebastian said. I opened the door more widely and saw... Myself, a bit older than I am now, in a chair holding a baby girl with Sebastian standing at my side smiling down at the small baby. Ciel an Elizabeth who I presume are now married standing by the door smiling. 'My future with Sebastian....'
I looked at a door to my right that had a dim light coming from it. I walked towards it and heard crying. "It's not possible! Why can't I get pregnant?!" I heard a voice familiar to Lady Lily's. I opened the door to see... Lady Lily in my arms crying. "It's alright, my lady. We'll try again on a later day. I'm sure it'll work out sooner or later, I promise." She sniffed and hugged me tightly. "I trust you to help, alright?" I nodded and hugged her back tightly. 'And my future with Lady Lily... I do have a trick for helping her with that.' I blinked and I was back where I was, lip locked with Claude. I pulled away in surprise. "I just had a vision... Three.. Three choices. I have to make a choice," I said with my head down and my hands on his chest keeping him from coming any closer to me. "This choice will probably be the death of me," I said with a soft sigh. He nodded and stood up. "Goodnight, my lady," I heard him say as he closed the door he had walked to. "Night... My...." I mumbled the rest of the sentence knowing it'll only cause problems in the future if I call anyone "love."
Author's note: Short chapter I know.. I didn't have much to go off of so I just put something together. Sorry.. Hey at least this is my fifth update today~!
Hidden powers of a madman
"It's time for us to begin investigating the case," Ciel said to Lady Lily and I as we stood in his study. "Lisandar we'll need you to get behind enemy lines by posing as Lady Lily," Sebastian added on. I nodded slight but shook my head. "I... I'm sorry but I cannot. I have secrets I'm hiding under these clothes... I'd rather not unlock them by wearing a dress and becoming irritated over something simple, triggering them," I said as I looked out the window instead of at anyway. "If she can't I will!" Lady Lily... Don't get yourself hurt because of me. "My lady, I'd rather you not," I take a deep breath and realise it. "I'll take her place this one time but if anything and I mean anything happens to her I won't be able to forgive the person," I said glaring at a nearby chair.
~~Time skip~~
I walked down the main stairs wearing a very tight fitting black with red lace strapless dress. Everyone was looking at me with shock since I made sure no one helped me with my dress so they wouldn't see... I looked at the ground knowing what they were looking at, my tattoos and scars. I've had them for years... Mainly from training but the most recent we're from being tortured, whipped and sliced to pieces. My tattoos are from when I was young it was a tradition with my kind to get them so you were specifically considered an outsider to humans. "This why I said no to dresses..." My tattoos were all around my entire arms and legs with scars covering them, mainly on my back and shoulders. Lady Lily looked concerned about me making me give her a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine... They'll just draw more attention to me like you guys need," I said smiling brightly like nothing bad was going to happen in the future. "Shall we get going?" I ask and everyone soon nodded, walking towards the carriage.
~~Time skip to end of carriage ride~~
Ciel and Lady Lily hid from the suspected murderer and colleagues. Sebastian played the part of my butler, which made me uncomfortable because of the situation. Once Sebastian helped me out of the carriage all eyes were on me. I smiled at everyone and slowly made my way into the building, towards the party they were holding. I looked around the rooms we walked past quickly but carefully, looking for anything they didn't cover up their best. When we made it to the ballroom beautiful music could be heard playing in the background. "I haven't heard this song in forever... Glad I get to finally hear it one last time," I say to no one in particular which made Sebastian raise his brow curiously but he brushed it off shortly afterwards. "May I have this dance my lady?" I heard a voice call from behind me, making me turn rather quickly to face the voice. "A-Ac-" He shushed me with his index finger and offered his other hand to me. "May I?" I had to go along with it so I took his hand making him pull me close and walk to the dance floor. 'My bipolar twin brother is back~ He keeps changing... He needs to take his medicine.' As the dance started slowly the music started to get rapidly faster making me worry. "What is..?" He smiles at me to reassure me that everything was okay. I looked around by the corner of my eyes look if Sebastian has put the first step into play yet and seeing as he is no where in sight I take that as a yes. Once we reach the middle of the dance a different man interrupts us and asks if he could dance with me, I nodded at him and took his hand. 'I need to wear more jackets and pants...'
~~Time skip because too many men asking for a dance~~
As soon as the final dance with the man I was dancing with came to a close a gun shot ran out throughout the household making women scream for their lives while running out of the building being followed by the men. I instantly ran towards the gunshot but I smelled flames. "Fire? Here?" I heard a loud and agonising scream from a few halls down where I could see the light of flames at. I ran towards them to see a horrible sight... "Ciel? Lady Lily?" I walked towards them already knowing what had happened.. Ciel was half burnt on his right side while Lady Lily was completely burned from head to toe. Sebastian picked up Ciel's half alive body and walked towards me. "It's time..." As he walked past me I felt pain... I walked over to Lady Lily's lifeless body, falling to my knees next to her. I caressed her left cheek. "Heh...." I saw blood dripping onto her dress. "Hm?" I felt my cheeks and checked my fingers to see I was crying blood. "No.. Not now! Now anytime!" I picked up Lady Lily's body and turned around being faced with about fifteen people pointing guns at me. I felt rage deep inside and as soon as it broke free from its cage my tattoos and eyes started glowing a sky blue. I gripped Lady Lily's body tightly in my hand, holding her closely to my body. "You'll pay," was all I could remember I said then I blacked out right afterwards.
It's been about twenty minutes since I've blacked out so I'm assuming I'm inside my darkened mind, plagued with insanity. At this moment I knew those twenty people were more than dead. My vision soon faded back into the world to make me see the sight of my pretty mess. Bodies hanging, mutilated, just ripped to pieces. Blood was everywhere... I painted my own picture that says "Never hurt those I love, you'll pay a never ending death." But obviously their lives have Ben ended but their souls shall be forever tormented. I teleported back to the Phantomhive manor, wearing my usual butler uniform and laid Lady Lily on her bed. "You'll be better soon," I say placing my right hand over her heart and my left hand over mine. Of course my healing powers wouldn't work after a show like that, since I'm still bleed from wounds I never know I had until now. I knelt to my knees and rested my head on my master's chest, again not know I was crying blood. I rested my arms on her as we'll then closed my eyes but as soon as I did a bright light shining from Lady Lily's body. I sat up straight and stared at her face which was now back to normal, no third degree burns anywhere then I looked at her arms and legs ending up with the same result. "My lady..?" She sat up with the light still illuminating her and smiled at me, making me stand up. "You're an... Angel?" She stood up on the floor and the light dimmed slowly but surely. "My lady... When?" She smiled at me and simply said, "You turned me." I was confused but I know how.. I'm half angel and half demon since my parents are... Well I'll explain that on a later date. "My lady.. I don't have the power to change you into an angel," I said unsure of how this happened since I never was issued a power like that. She giggled and hugged me tightly. "It's one of your new hidden powers!" Hidden powers? Surely I've already unlocked them all, right? I couldn't have gotten new ones this late in life. She looks up at me and pecks my lips gently. I'm still frozen with shock so I can't really react. She frowned at this and thought it would be fun to hit me and so she hit me in the chest. I moved slightly but not in pain. I sighed softly and shook my head. "My lady that's still impossible for me to have unlocked new powers," she shook her head. "They're merely hidden powers of a madman."
Betrayal
A/N: Really short chapter but I wanted to show you how I felt about this story line.
It was late at night and I was tired after the events earlier this evening. I took off my tailcoat, vest tie, gloves and dress shoes. I sat on the edge of my bed and with a sigh I lay my head on my soft pillow, closing my eyes. I was having a wonderful dream until a vision like dream came into my head.
~~The Dream~~
"Oh come on Sebastian~!" Lady Lily said to the handsome butler as he was pouring her some tea. He chuckled softly at her while handing her the tea cup. "What would you do if she caught us?" She laughed. "She has powers but surely she couldn't! I mean she is just an outcast with those tattoos and scars of hers. They let her down!" He made quite a serious face towards her. "You have no idea what power lies in her hands with those tattoos. If you'll excuse me my master is calling for me," he said while walking towards her door to leave. "I don't think so." Lady Lily placed her cup down on the nightstand and raced over to the door. "My lady-" Before he could say anything else Lady Lily had kissed him forcefully. After a few minutes she pulled away, smirking. "Now.." He had already pulled her into another kiss, one more passionate but lustful, before she could even say another word. After a few more kisses things got a lot more heated. "Sebastian~"
I shook my head and opened my eyes quickly, not wanting to see anything more than I already have. I realised I was sweating... Like I've been trying to get the vision like dream to go away as soon as I knew things were going to get bad. "I don't know who to hate in that..." I got up and walked towards Lady Lily's room. 'If that dream-vision was real why would he have brought tea so late at night?' As I eased closer to the door with every step I took, I heard moaning. 'Ha! So I was seeing it as it happened. Wonderful.' I instantly walked back to my room not wanting to have anything to do with that. "Betrayal." All I felt that night was betrayal. The only thing I've felt my entire life was back. I knew I couldn't trust anyone with my feelings... It's time to act like Claude, emotionless and cold. Yeah my plan will surely force everyone away from me. If I make my lady cry that's just fine. I mean she HAS someone to comfort her. I laughed at myself inside my head. 'How could you be so stupid to trust another human? All they'll do is betray you because of how you look and are. If only you told both who you really were then maybe you'd get more respect than being thrown away so easily like that. Just tell them already!!' I knew what I needed to do.
Karma is a b*tch, isn't it?
The lyrics to "No more love" by Shinedown rang through my head the next morning. I walked to Lady Lily's room and knocked on her door. "My lady?" I say while opening the door. "Lisandar~!!" She said while hugging my tightly. I chuckled softly at what I was thinking. "Shall I help you get ready?" She nodded and went to pick out a dress. "Should I wear the dark blue or red dress, Lisandar," she pulled out two dresses and asked me. "I say the red one, my lady," I hid my smirk.
~~~Le corset skip~~~
After I finished tying Lady Lily's corset, I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. "I have a surprise for later today for you~," I whispered into her ear, squeezing her tightly. "Surprise?" She said turning towards me as I unwrapped my arms from around her and nodded. "What kind of surprise?" I chuckled softly. "It'll be a shocker~," I smirked, inside my mind, at my plan.
~~~Time skip to dinner~~~
"My lady, we're having steak tonight if that's alright," I placed the tray down in front of her and removed the cover. "Of course," she says as she stabbed into the meat to cut it. I stood by the wall, glaring at Sebastian. 'I do hope you'll like my surprise~!' I thought to myself then excused myself from the room. "Now~!" I exited the manor from the back entrance and walked towards the garden.
~~~Lady Lily's POV~~~
After I finished my steak I excused myself to the bathroom. 'Where'd she go?' I thought as I walked past the bathroom. "M'lady?" I heard a familiar voice call from behind me. "Yes?" I said turning towards the raven haired butler. "Are you lost?" I shook my head. "Lisandar said she has a surprise for me. I'm looking for her," I said while looking down the hallway. "I believe I saw her in the garden, M'lady." I nodded and started down the hallway but soon stopped. "I don't believe you should go by the way she was acting. I don't trust her with you," Sebastian said worriedly. "She's contracted to me so she wouldn't dare hurt me, Sebastian." He nodded then opened his mouth to speak but closed it, nodding. "Very well then, Lady Lily." With that he left. I found my way to the garden shortly after. "Lisandar?" I called out while approaching a small table with a candle lit in the middle. I heard soft singing from a few feet from the table.
~~~Original POV~~~
"....My fair lady~" I finished singing and turned towards my master. "Master~! So glad you could finally make it to my show~! I hope you enjoy your.... Short.... Stay~!" My master was suddenly scared and showed by just that. "My lady, please don't be scared. I'm simply..." I paused and stepped forward to have the light of the candle light up my face to show blood dripping from my eyes since they are no longer there. Lady Lily began to step backwards in fear of her life, "Stay away from me!!" She screamed at me which made me frown. "Master, why are you scared of your own creation? You turned me this way by what you've done to me. Don't you remember the other night? What you did with.... Him?" She stopped in place and thought for a second than began, "How did you...?" I smiled and stepped around the table to her. "I know everything you do, Master. I know what you say, what you do, everything~!" I took one more step to be stopped by Sebastian. "I think that's far enough." I frowned then smirked. "Really going to defend such a bitch? A backstabbing, lying, betraying bitch?!? I'll tell you a little secret about her that you don't know... In her past life... She always stole, lied, and betrayed people to hurt others. That's all she'll ever do. Now if you'll excuse me... It's her time to die~!!" He looked at Lady Lily then back at me. "How are you so sure that's not yourself you're talking about?" I chuckled and put my index finger to my lips and said, "Because if be died already if it was me because I'll allow myself to be caught. Because all I ever wanted was for people to hate me enough to come and kill me. That's why I lie to people," I folded my arms. He thought for a second then turned towards my master. "Is this true, Lady Lily?" She scoffed and ignored him, glared at me then spoke. "Stop spreading lies about me!" I chuckled and appeared behind her , whispering into her ear, "But it's the truth and the truth hurts." I stabbed my hand through her back and pulled out her heart. "It's as cold as you were to me," I said as I squeezed her heart making it explode. "You never needed it anyways...." I chuckled and turned to Sebastian. "Karma is a bitch, isn't it?" With that I left for the Trancy manor.
