Silent But Deadly [Black Butler] (Under Editing)

Chapt. 51 ~ Whispers Of Shadows

"Please... I don't want this anymore... It's exhausting..." 'Maeve' curled up naked in the messed up sheets as a body lied next to her. A boy around her age. Her neck was covered in hickeys as her thighs were bruised from the rough handling. "You're hurting me...!" 

'Maeve' stood beside the bed with the switchblade in her blood covered hand in a room with 2 other boys. Her eyes were wild, and she growled before attacking the next boy that was closest to her. After the slaying, 'Maeve' dropped to her knees as her shadow began merging with her, moving and changing, before covering her body completely in black, altering her appearance. 

Mute slowly opened her eyes and saw it was late afternoon, judging from the weather outside the bedroom window. Miko's arm was slung around Mute's waist protectively with her fox tail draped over their legs. "The rain puts you to sleep." Miko suddenly spoke, eyes open and lingering on the now awakened Mute. "Though, you don't sleep for very long. The last time you've had a long slumber was when you first and last fed yourself." She smirked. 

'Really?' Mute cocked an eyebrow as if she were confused. But she knew what Miko meant by that, referring to Alois. "Which means Ciel must still be asleep. This is taking too long. We should head out." 

"You don't want to wait for them?" 

"I've waited long enough and I've grown impatient. We end this now." Mute got out of bed, but froze in place when she looked across the room. There stood Alois leaning against the wall with arms folded behind his back while wearing a small smile. 

"Mute?" Miko tilted her head curiously. "What is it? What's the matter?" 

"Can you give me a moment alone? There's something I need to be sure of..." Mute lowered her head, and as did her voice, at the end of her sentence. By the look on her face, Miko could tell it was something personal and serious. 

"Very well. I'll be right outside." 

When it was just Mute alone in the room, she turned and faced the wall to where she had seen Alois/Jim. And he was still there with the same small smile on his face. "Hello, Mute." He greeted her. Only Mute was able to see him. It was like he was a ghost to her. But this was because she had extracted his soul. Any soul she takes, she is able to see and communicate with them as if they were ghost. "Are you surprised to see me?" 

"You finally decide to reveal yourself to me instead of endlessly talking within my head." Mute thought/said. 

"I can't do much of anything in that head of yours when it's so noisy. You think an awful lot." Jim scoffs. "But you're all out of sorts, aren't you? You're wondering how you're able to see Ciel's memories without singing to him, and all by a simple touch. You ask yourself too many questions, you know?" 

"Hence the silence. When I took your soul I was able to see your entire lifespan like a cinematic record, and yet I never sang to you either. I simply absorbed you. I can't do the same with Ciel..." Mute turned her head to the side as her eyes wandered to the floor in thought. Not even she could figure out this new ability of hers.
