Running through the streets by day, killing innocent people by night.
Carol Blackwood hides the fact that she is demon.
One night, it appears that her and the Phantomhive boy have the same target
Will she have to kill her target in front of the boy...
"No.. I'm sorry, Arthur..." I apologized as I slowly made my way back to Sebastian.
"Carol... I didn't like to force you into things, but you leave me with no choice.." Arthur said as he started walking towards me.
The trembling has stopped, I felt empty, drain of emotions. I wasn't afraid, I knew that I could hurt him if I wanted to.... But...
He's the only family that I have left....
My love, what do you want me to do..?
Sebastian's voice rang through my head after my thought. What do I want him to do? What do I want? Before I even came up with an answer, I was grabbed by my wrist.
"You're coming home."
I started laughing, w-wait... Why am I laughing? Oh... I get it..
"You see Arthur, I might not be bound to the young lord like my lover here... But I do follow my master's orders.." I giggled as I changed my eyes to red and looked at my cousin, "I am simply one HELL of a maid."
I send a wink towards Sebastian, who smirks in response. I look at my cousin, the pure confusion was priceless to look at.
"Oh young master, I feel my old self coming back." I say as I put on a smile.
This smile... It was always full of hunger and insanity. I haven't eaten any souls since I met Ciel. I felt hungry.. REALLY hungry...
"Carol, this is an order. Get rid of your cousin at any cost." Ciel barked out his order.
I looked at him, unimpressed. I saw his face soften a bit, he usually had a cold look everyday. I think it has something about losing the last bit of family I have left... Is making his cold heart melt. I'll be like my master, not like I wasn't already. I then showed a smile, still in Arthur's grasp, and bowed to my young lord.
"Of course, young master." I said, in a tone that Sebastian would use.
I then look at my cousin, I filled the room with darkness, the kind that could expose all the fear and screams from my victims.
"C-Carol?! W-What's going o-on with y-y-you?!" Arthur stuttered as he let go of me and backed away as far away as he could.
"I'm sorry, my beloved cousin. You see, I cannot be separated from my young lord here. I am a pawn, a soldier in his little game of chess. He is the king and I must protect him," I started walking, "but what good will come to the king if he loses one of his strongest soldiers, especially during battle? His kingdom will struggle to win, so you see....."
I grab him by the neck, my eyes turning the fuchsia color like it always did. I held him close to my face, I showed fangs as my true form started to break through.
"I cannot leave."
"Master, this is something you mustn't look at." I heard Sebastian say as I see him cover Ciel's eyes.
I nodded a 'thank you'. I turned my attention back to my terrified cousin, I felt black feathers fly around the room, feathers also peeling off of my skin, feeling my grayish-black skin showing. My hair changed to white, the color the souls make when I make it little blank canvases. All you can hear was metal as I walked to the wall with Arthur, pinning him to it. It was hilarious that I got to see him gasping for air.
"What's the matter, Arthur? You look scared, terrified even." I giggled.
"C-CAROL?!?! YOU'RE A DE-"
"It's best to keep that between the four of us, don't you think?" I tightened the grip on his neck, making sure he couldn't breathe.
"C-Car...ol..." He tried speaking.
I leaned towards his mouth, licking my lips in the process. I wanted to get to his soul before he died. I forcefully put my lips on Arthur's mouth, sucking out his soul. Once I pulled away, I see only white in his eyes, he was dead. I quickly changed back to normal, my maid uniform, my brown hair, my pale skin, everything was back. All the shadows were gone, the room looked like nothing happened.
I walked to the window, opened it as wide as I could. I looked around to see if anyone was outside, yes, Mey-rin, Finny, and Bard were outside, but I quickly threw Arthur away with my demon speed. I sent him flying to Satan knows where, all I know is that you couldn't see him anymore.
"Young master, it's over." I said as I removed Sebastian's hands from Ciel's face.
"Well done, Carol. I didn't like that man very much, even if he was your cousin," Ciel said but then looked away, "I'm sorry that I made you kill him."
"You have nothing to be sorry for," I said with a smile, "I realized that you, Sebastian, and the servants, are my family."
"Well, I will get back to my work. Sebastian.... I will let you do your business, after all, it involves Miss Carol here."
With that Sebastian left the study, dragging me with him, not even bowing to Ciel. He dragged me outside, which I was greeted by my fellow servants, Mey-rin looked like she was about to explode from having a red face, Finny looked like he was trying not to cry, and Bard was smiling like a goofball. I saw a tiny butler besides them, drinking tea, looking like he has no care in the world. I smile at the sight of them.
I feel like I'm becoming human again.. But I know that I'm not.
"Carol." I look at Sebastian.
Behind him I see the mansion, I was able to see the window to Ciel's study. I saw Ciel standing there, his window open. He looked somewhat interested.... And.... Happy? Oh gosh... He must be sick... Or is that real happiness..?
"Sebastian, what's all this? The garden is looking ESPECIALLY nice today, did Finny and you do this?" I ask, admiring the garden.
"In fact, yes. It's for a special occasion." Sebastian said, making me look at him.
I then saw Sebastian get down on one knee, causing my eyes to go wide. I felt him gently take my left hand into one hand, and taking out a ring in with his other. The ring was black, something that you don't normally see. It had blue jewels on the sides, then here was a flower shape on the top, and inside was a diamond.

I felt like I was going to cry. He's...
"Carol, I have to say, nothing can match the perfection that I see before me. You've have managed to make me very me very happy. I can guarantee that there will be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or the both of us is going to want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me. So, Carol Blackwood, I have one final question.."
