INTO THE PHANTOMHIVES |5|

SEBASTIAN THE BUTLER, DEAD
third person

——— • Dion woke up by a nudge, his eyes slowly opens and closes again, wanting to get more sleep. It was still raining hard outside, and the cold weather made him more sleepy.

"Dion...Dion wake up, there's something wrong," Vermiel kept nudging him awale with furrowed eyebrows. It was really weird, she wasn't used to it.

Dion sat up, "What is it?"

"Something's not right in the manor. It's way past the time Sebastian usually wakes me, but he hasn't come yet," She said with a serious expression.

Knock, knock.

Their attention then turned to the door, "Pardon me." It was Tanaka's voice. He opened the door and bowed his upper body, "I apologize for our tardiness."

Vermiel furrowed her eyebrows, "Tanaka? Where's Sebastian?"

They immediately ran out of the room amd into the halls, rushing to where Tanaka said. Vermiel showbed a concerned expression, while Dion's face was serious.

"Something happened to the butler?", He thought. But something drastic wouldn't affect him, right? He's a demon, he can't die before he gets his meals.

But it was as they weren't expecting to happen. Sebastian Michaelis lies on the floor, a sword pierced through his chest, his face showed a traumatic expression; Wide eyes and mouth hung open.

Blood was everywhere.

Seconds after, Ciel showed up the door. Vermiel immediately went to console him, but he pushes her away and approached the butler's body.

Dion could only stare in suspicion. Every guest here, and even the servants, don't know of Sebastian's true nature. He began to think about Vermiel's welcoming words to his father.

A prepared performance.

Lant was suspicious as well, a Phantomhive butler got murdered. Could the murderer be this skilled?

He briefly glances at Vermiel's cold face, or is it a part of her performance?

An entertaining show. If he's entirely sure then he'd laugh...

But when the butler looks like that, he might not find it amusing. Ever since he saw that butler's face he's been feeling nostalgic, because the butler looks like Vincent Phantomhive.

Everyone watches as the young master of the Phantomhives throws an in-denial tantrum and keeps ordering the dead butler to wake up and stop playing dead.

Vermiel approaches her brother, she kneels down and catches his hand that was about to slap Sebastian's face.

"Ciel...", She called in a neutral voice. "He's dead."

That only made the boy become more in-denial, but he soon accepted the truth when Vermiel wasn't doing anything to "order him to wake up".

He leaned down to cup the butler's face, crying and whimpering. "That can't be true, you said you were going to be with us forever. How dare you die..."
