Black and White ✘ Black Butler

Chapter 30

I couldn't stop myself from practically staring at the two men in front of me. I couldn't get over the fact that Alois, the person I thought was just a normal teen, and Claude, the demon who's been tormenting me my entire life, were working together. Now, the thought of those two really made my stomach turn. I couldn't stand being in the same space as they were. I had planned ways of escaping, but they seemed far more advanced than I am, in regards with demon abilities.

"What do you two want?" I ask.

"Like I said before, we just want to chat," Alois responds.

"Yea right," I mumble.

"My, someone's angry."

"Just stop buying time and tell me what you two want!!"

"I thought you were smarter, C.L.. You shouldn't be speaking to us that way," Claude states as he makes his way towards Alois.

"And, why is that?"

"Cause if you don't, then you wouldn't mind seeing everyone you care about die in front of you. Would you?" I stare, wide-eyed, at Claude. I knew he was capable of doing such a thing. After all, he did show me.

I sigh, "Fine."

"That's a good girl." Alois smirks. "Now, back to business. We've known what you are C.L. for quite a while now. You knew Drocell, right."

I look at Alois, telepathically answering his question.

"Well, he's not in service anymore, but luckily he was useful enough to provide us with the information we needed. We just had to know you were the one."

"The one?"

"You know, a lost child and Ciel's, and you know Elizabeth's, daughter."

"Too bad for you," Claude interrupts, "Your father isn't here to protect you like before."

I gasp. "Y-You were the one's responsible for their deaths."

"Yes. Of course, I couldn't do it alone, so I was able to convince a few... friends I know to assist me in my task. And, it would have gone perfectly if Sebastian wasn't in the way. He nearly killed me again."

"A-Again?"

"We share a very complicated history, along with your father as well, back in the late 1800s. But, for Sebastian and I, it has gone a whole lot longer than that."

"But," Alois cuts in, "Now, you're here and we can finish the task we've wanted to complete ever since you were born."

"Which is?" I ask.

"It's obvious silly. To take you for ourselves. We want to use your power so that way we can turn this world into a living hell. It'll be easier to overpower those obnoxious angels. And, you've proven to be more powerful than any being."

"What makes you think I'll help you?"

"Because if you don't," Claude threatens, "Like I said before, I'll kill everyone you love, and I'll make sure you witness every single death. So if you don't come with us now, then I'll burn down your manor, along with everyone else inside."

"No!!" I scream, tears brimmed my eyes. There was no way I was going to witness everyone at the party burning down to the ground, along with my home. That's one experience I wish to avoid. I sigh and look down at the ground. "F-Fine. I'll go. But, you better leave everyone out of this. This is between you and me."
