The Assassin of Red [Black Butler]

Silhouette

I slowly opened my eyes, to find I was blindfolded, and in what seemed to be in a metal cage. ~Just like a trapped animal~ I shook my head....~what happened?~ and then winced as memories flashed through my brain.
After Ciel had come over, we both began to flirt with the Viscount, intent on finding out if he was jack the ripper, I already knew he wasn't, but that was beside the point. Ciel was trying his best to be ladylike, while I just stood there, smirking slightly. Until Ciel caught sight of Lizzy, the Viscount was a bit miffed when our attention turned away from him, when suddenly, a wardrobe fell down in front of us, effectively blocking Lizzy's view. After, the Viscount had taken us to a sweet-smelling room, and we passed out. 

"Great." I whispered, "kidnapped by a womanising Viscount, how could I be so stupid?" "Thalia?" I heard "is that you?" ~Aaaand, Ciels here...fantastic~ now, it's not that I don't like Ciel, it's just that he'll mess with my plans.

"Yeah, its me."

"where are we?"

"No idea"

"Fantastic"

A loud voice broke into our conversation, and I recognised it to be Druitts. "Welcome ladies and gentleman, we have two very special objects for tonights auction." I felt a light shine on our cage and someone took of my blindfold. "Look at these beauties, the one with ocean blue eyes you can get lost in, and the one with eyes like chocolate, every bit as sweet. You can keep them whole, or sell them for their parts if you wish. So lets start the bidding at....£600" I couldn't help but call out sarcastically "because I totally want to get sold, thats what every girl aspires to happen to her at the age of 17." 

I heard Ciel snort and then he raised his voice, parting the hair that covered his eye. I gasped. Long ago, the eye would have been a deep blue, matching the other. But now, it was a royal purple, marked with a demons pentagram. ~It's true. The voice, my dreams. The child fallen to darkness....Oh well, I won't let this change my judgement, they are, mostly good people, I know it.~

"Sebastian, we're here." The lights went out and for a moment, all I could hear were muffled screams. Then the lights came back on. Sebastian walked over to our cage, eyes glowing fuchsia and crushed the lock....effectively destroying it. ~I'll just pretend I don't know...~ I stretched and hopped out. "Took you long enough, my legs were starting to cramp." He smirked, red eyes flashing "apologies."

He then turned to Ciel "we should go my Lord, Scotland yard will be here soon." I snickered at Ciel visibly distressed face "well, come on then Sebastian. Thalia? Are you coming?" I shook my head. 

"Nah, I still have unfinished business, but if you could walk me back to the ballroom, or drop me off on the balcony." Heeding my words, Sebastian put Ciel on his shoulder and grabbed me around my waist. Running to the nearest window, he jumped out and landed on the balcony. Even though I knew he was a demon, it shocked me that he managed to land without cracking the ground. Giving Ciel a smile and ruffling his teal hair, I slid out of Sebastian's warm grip and swiftly gave him a hug. "Thanks." I audibly whispered, and slipped back inside, without turning around.

The musicians were on a break, so I snuck up to the small stage and leapt up, trying to find a certain instrument. Locking my eyes on it, I ducked in between the wooden seats and delicate instruments. I grabbed the beautifully carved violin (leaving a mental apology for the poor violinist), leapt off the stand and sprinted out of the ballroom, to the balcony Sebastian had dropped me off at. Before anyone could stop me, I jumped. ~Voices, dreams....anything. Please don't let me die...~ clutching the precious violin to my chest, I landed one-footed on the nearest house, breathing a sigh of relief, I began to walk, bringing the violin up to my chin, I started to play. Doing the occasional leap off houses to get to the next, I moved my fingers in delight, playing into the starry, starry night.

Ciel and Sebastian were riding back to the Phantomhive manor when they heard the faint sounds of a violin drawing nearer. Stopping the carriage, they got out, craning their necks for a peek of the mysterious music maker. A dark figure came into sight, her hair blowing in the frosty air, and a violin pressed up against her dainty chin. "Sebastian. Is that....?" Ciel started. Sebastian nodded in confirmation. "Yes my Lord, I believe that is Thalia." 

When he said her name, he felt a slight tug in his chest and remembered how she had hugged him on the balcony. As he felt something his kind should not feel. Affection. Suddenly, Thalia leapt across the street, onto the roof of another house and continued to play. Ciel gasped "she's not- she's not one of you is she?" Sebastian shook his head, amused. "She is human, yet, there's something strange about her." The pair watched the elegant figure until she was just a silhouette, across the darkened moon.
