The Crow and The Cat

Realization Hits like A Brick... A Really Hard Brick!

A.N.- Sorry this chapter might be a bit shorter. I have mentioned before how I write a "rough draft" in a small journal that I take almost every where with me. I have enough content written for about the next three chapters. The reason this chapter is shorter is because of how my time skips are laid out. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I do not own the title picture I just found it off the internet. In truth I am not that great of a manga artist. Thank's Lucyheartfeelia for the support!

I am shifted into my human form in a dimly lit room bound in chains. I see a liquid dripping down my torso leaving dark red streaks. Blood, my blood. I felt loneliness and pain Fuchsia eyes stared into mine, as a hand caressed my cheek. Fear enveloped me, I was confused and my entire self felt to be in pain. The fuchsia eyes formed a figure around them, dark and emitting shadows. the dark figure held my chin and spoke in a deep, sultry tone, "What to do? What to do? Ah, I know." It picked up a silver, shimmering blade and dragged it swiftly against my throat. I gagged and tried screaming but it came out as sputtered gasps. Blood rushed down my neck.

I wake up screaming in my human form. A startled Sebastian is sitting up next to me. Sebastian looked at me with his reddish-chestnut eyes, a concerning look in them.

A smirk then crept to his lips as I was backing into the wall. I was in a cold sweat,nervous as hell, Sebastian was coming closer. I hide my face in my knees and tremble and stutter, "yo...you...you are a...a de...demon." I sense something change in his attitude, superiority and ferocity, he is leaning over me. I am consumed by the near choking scent of roses He laughs and a hand holds my chin up. "Yes, I am, though I never thought that it would take you this long to realize. I never thought I would see you in the realm of the "awake." I assume you need more of an explanation my little reaper neko. You are a reaper but also a demon.... well have been made a demon. Yeah I would say sorry but that wouldn't be true. I originally needed you for information. Shinigami business and all, so I tortured it out of you. While you were sleeping I would take "part" of you to hell with me and get the information and then send you on your merry way. You took a while to break; you are quite strong. Those dreams are the memories of the torture...pain... and agony. I guess that that turned you into a demon. Well, at least part demon. That would explain the cat ears and tail. Also the Death God eyes; the demon part made them turn greener, even if only a bit, and you don't seem to need glasses"

I tried to look away from his eyes but he held me firmly. Tears shed down my cheeks, still shaking I ask, "Why would you do this to me?"

Sebastian replied almost casually, " Orders from the boss. I had an order from Lucifer himself to find a Reaper that was semi high in rank and worked in the London Dispatch. You were the only one who worked alone; Thus I went after you."

After He said that I worked as a reaper my entire memory as a reaper came flooding back to me. I remember all the times working over time and flopping on to my bed and just falling asleep. I was friends with Ronald Knox and Grell Sutcliff. I would eat meals with them and chat. One night Ronald and I were heading out to the bar, and I had to leave early. I left the bar and went home. I had to do something important, but ended up collapsing on the kitchen floor. After that then I only remember pain and agony and waking up to Ronald looking at me with a concerned face on.

With in the following days I was collapsing more and more often and ended up staying in the Shinigami Hospital. While there I was growing more feline in appearance over the course of a month. My chartreuse eyes became greener and I did not require my glasses. The doctors would constantly tested on me examining on my eyes, ears, and tail. I found out that I could turn into a cat which all the reaper scientists and doctors all flocked to.

I then decided to escape and live on my own because I had no answers and was tired of being tested on. All I had on me was the clothes on my back and my two black dagger death scythes. I had then moved from place to place trying to stay hidden and only steal for survival. My black daggers also seemed to stop working and did not show cinematic records. What really happened was when I used them in self defense and ended up killing some one by accident.

Their cinematic record did not show because somehow I had consumed their soul. I was terrified because of this and just left the body there. The thing is the soul tasted delicious, even though I did not even need the soul. It tasted like a treat, like something that i could have only once in a while. After that I would only use my scythes to protect against demons and other monstrosities. I lived in fear for another month then stole from the Earl Phantomhive and Sebastian, and then became their maid.

I had been so deep in thought that I did not notice that Sebastian let go of me and how he seemed to change in attitude again till I suddenly felt the atmosphere of the room change drastically. He radiated with the feeling of sorrow and....guilt?

"Cynthia are you okay?" His face seemed to be that of a child who did not comprehend the emotions he was observing yet still felt sad that he caused it.

"What do you think?" I started to cry silently tears poured down my face. I wanted to hate Sebastian for what he did and how he made me feel, but I couldn't. I just couldn't.

"How about you get some sleep. It it still too early in the morning to stay awake if you want to work tomorrow." I look at a small grandfather clock in the corner of the room. It reads 1:37. I nod tears still streaming down my cheeks. He picks me up gingerly and walks to my room. He undoes his tie and covers his eyes with it. "Sorry," He pulls my bandages and black nightgown off and puts on a new, more modest one. I was to tired to fight it and just simply did not care. I was to emotionally drained to do anything. Sebastian lays me down and tucks me in. I quickly fell asleep.

A.N. This just kind of happened. I swear like most of this this happened because it is like 5:40 AM. This chapter like is 2 and a half times larger than the rough draft. I hope you like her backstory ( I think this is a back story). Tell me if you do. Honestly, will look at this in the morning and think- What the Hell was i thinking? I am really tired and am starting to ramble on about things and repeat myself. Before I say anything really stupid, I say to thee, Good night. Nya!
