End of Heartache, the Continued Case of.... (Sebastian x Reader)

Chapter 14

The library of knowledge is unlike anything I have ever seen before. There were book absolutely everywhere. Big books, small books, paper backs, hardbacks and spiral bound all in one place.

No one really knows this about me but I'm a bit of a book nerd. When I was younger other than Sebastian all I had were books. They were my window to the outside world. I'd spend many an raining day curled up with a good book. I loved them.

I loved the knowledge they brought and the imagination they inspired. Everything about them were amazing! From fact to fiction I could really them all. One of the few things my Father ever taught me was that knowledge was power, the quickest way to to obtain that power; books.

Hence why right now I was having a field day in this library.

"Hey Julie? You found anything in your section?" _____ suddenly called out to me.

"Sorry. I kind of got side tracked and ended up just reading it all the way through" I told her smiling nervously.

"Just like a human to get so easily distracted. It's not like your kind is the one in danger or anything" Claude suddenly spoke up. His tone bitter and angry.

"At least humans have the common decency to use someone then pretend to care the next day. Not lie about their name, and sneak out the next day" I spat back refusing to even meet his gaze.

"Well you never exactly told me your were a Phantomhive. If I'd of know that I wouldn't have even bothered" He jeered, his voice laced with venom.

"I hate you" I spoke loud enough for him to hear.

"I hate you to" He retorted.

"Behave now children" I heard the voice of the flamboyant Reaper _____ called Ronnie pipe up.
"Your in a sacred place that is not to be squandered by your bickering. That and Will, will probably go nuts if he finds out I brought three demons and a human up here. Even if the human is a pretty as yourself"

"Keep dreaming Sweetpea" I smirked at him before diving back into the book.

I tried to focus on the words in front of me but I just couldn't. Instead I felt a pair of golden eyes bore into me. Glancing up I saw those very eyes looking over at me but quickly turn away as my gaze caught with his.
My cheeks flushed and my heart rate picked up slightly.

'Jeez Julie get it together girl! You hate him remember'

Shaking my head I picked up a new book. I needed to do some hardcore speed reading right now. I had wasted so much time reading that last book and I didn't want to let Sebastian down. I had to help him find his happily ever after, then I could finally think about a possibility of mine. One that definitely wouldn't include Claude!

My hand subconsciously drifted down to the symbol that had appeared on my hip all those weeks ago. I wanted to ask Sebastian about the first time I saw it appear on my flesh, but I just forgot to. Then when ____ came back and told us what it meant I was scared because that meant I was soulmates with a demon. A demon I hated at that. Or thought I hated?

'But would it be so bad if it didn't? I did have a lot of fun with him. And if I keep blushing like this?.........NO. STOP! The book In front of you! Read it!' I screamed at myself.

I was still shouting at myself ten minutes later when suddenly Sebastian slammed the book he was reading and flew at the reaper in the room. They crashed into the ground Sebastian's hands at his throat. Claude leapt up trying to pull Sebastian from the struggling body beneath him. _____ was shouting for them to stop, frantically grappling at Sebastian trying to force him off Ronnie.

"Tell her!" Sebastian shouted through gritted teeth.

I watched in horror as his fingers squeezed harder on the soft flesh of the gingers throat.

"Tell....who....what?" He managed to choke out.

"Sebastian get off him now!" ____ screamed and I watched his grip loosen but not completely remove.

"Tell her! Or I will" Sebastian growled once again.

"Tell who what?" This time it was me who shouted.
"Sebastian what's going on?"

"Tell ____ who you've kept locked up here all these years." Sebastian growled.

"I don't know what your talking about" Ronnie wheezed.
At this point I couldn't take it anymore and I physically kicked Sebastian square in the jaw. He went flying backwards and landed in a growling heap along with Claude and ____.

"If he says he's doesn't know he doesn't know! So stay off of him.
We're here to learn more information about what's going on. Not kill our allies! Not fight or fly of the handle when you find out something you don't like!! So maybe just maybe you think you could share with the group before you almost kill anyone else!!!" I shouted at Sebastian before walking over to pick up the book he was reading.

Skimming the page I tried to pick up what had made Sebastian so made. In the background I was vaguely aware of him apologising but right now I was to focus on the words in front of me.

Subject 37B
- Captured May 9th 1975 for testing.
- Demonic in Nature so requires an minimum of 1 high quality soul every 4 years to stay alive.
- Had a strange symbol resembling that of a convent mark upon his chest. (Subject 37B calls it his cursed mark)
- Frequently mentions something about a 'pet' of his.
- 37B refers to himself as Eric.

"Eric is here?!?" I hear the pained shriek of ____ as she collapsed to the floor.

I couldn't believe it. The one person we thought was behind all this has been here the whole time! If Eric was the Reapers Subject 37B, who was our bad guy?
