Amelia d'Assy : cousin of Ciel Phantomhive (Black Butler fanfiction)

Chapter 17 : The Dogs of Baskerville and Campania (Part II)

In the middle of the Manche

"Goddamn, cruise. This is the last time that I am ever doing that!" Screamed Ciel while he was running with Elizabeth and Sebastian to escape zombies. He had enough, he may be the Watchdog of the Queen but this was way beyond his pay grade.

"Young master, you shouldn't have swear in front of a lady..." the butler scolded him while killing a zombie.

He may say that but what kind of lady except his cousin could pretend to be able to defend herself like his fiancée? He was impressed. He had always thought that Lize was nothing more than a normal young lady. She literally worshipped his cousin, Amelia may be an uncanny lady, but she was at the same time the incarnation of one. She was a member of all the most select clubs of London whether they accepted ladies or not. She forced her way in and she was the centre of good society, nothing happened without her knowledge and she was proud of that fact. Elizabeth wanted to be like her when she was older.

They encountered more zombies, people were panicking around them. One could say that it looked like the apocalypse has befallen on them. Although, some remained calm and dealt with the situation, his aunt, his uncle and his cousin was one of those. They were making ways to let the nobility and common folk evacuate the ship.

"Ah Ciel! There you are, glad to see that you haven't let yourself be overwhelmed by our current situation!" Said Leon Midford while slicing a zombie in two.

"I still haven't accept you as the fiancée of Lize!" Screamed Edward Midford from behind while the Marchioness was sighing. She had reasons to be discouraged. As a zombie was about to try to attack him, Sebastian was about to deal with the zombie when a figure made a shield in front of them and the thing fall on the ground.

"Your reflexes are getting more and more lax, Butler." Said a figure which was revealed to be Lin. What on earth was she doing here? She bowed slightly. She wasn't in the usual way that she was when in presence of nobles. She wore her traditional Chinese clothes and she had a twin daggers in both her hands. They were already full of blood from the bizarre dolls or zombies. She bowed to the marquess.

"I have come at the demand of my lady, she had a bad feeling about this whole affair." She said simply giving a letter to his aunt and uncle. They quickly went through it and nodded. She stood up.

"Very well, I shall have a word with your lady about this when we are out of this." The marchioness scoffed killing another zombie.

"Of course, ma'am." The chief maid said also slicing two zombies.

Sebastian smirked as if he knew something that everyone else didn't know. Although, Ciel was brought back to his senses when the crew called all the remaining passengers to board the lifeboats.

"Lize, you have to go!" Ciel said hurriedly. The boat was swarmed by zombies and it was about to sink from the collision with the iceberg.

"No, I want to..." started top say Lize but was knocked out cold by Lin which caught her. Edward was about to protest but Sebastian stopped him.

"I am sorry but convincing lady Elizabeth would have taken too much time, Lin had to use a rather brutal way to make her leave with you."

"I am ready to face any consequences later." Said Lin seriously.

"No, I am grateful to you. My sister is rather intense when she convinced herself to do something." He took his sister in his arms.

"I leave Lize and Snake in your care, Edward!" Said Ciel before running to find Rian Stocker. Although, the heir of Marquess Midford added one last thing.

"You don't have to come back!" Which seemed to be as much as a request than some kind of affection. He didn't understand his cousin sometimes.

Sebastian was holding him in his arms while Lin ran beside them. It was odd whenever he saw this maid, Amelia wasn't far but she couldn't be on board, they would have crossed each other if it was the case earlier. Then, what was Lin doing alone here really?
