Lady And The Demon (Black Butler Fanfiction)

10. Jayce Phantomhive

"How will you learn if you don't make mistakes?"

Ana's words keep spinning in my head as I dance with a girl whose name I don't even know.

There is truth to that statement, however. You learn from your mistakes, even from the past. But mistakes aren't something my father lets slide easily like sand through his fingers. My father must have perfection for everything. Since Sebastian is a demon, he can do everything perfectly. But then again, so can Ana. So why would she be so reckless? Then another set of her words pops into my brain.

"What's the point of having a life of eternity if I'm not reckless?"

She does have a point about that. If you have a life, live it. Don't play it out. But Sebastian is a strong demon. He wouldn't allow her to be so reckless.

That's when it hits me.

Ana lives off of being rebellious. If she doesn't defy Sebastian, then who will? Maybe that's the point Ana is trying to make. Whats the point of life without mistakes and stupidity and the qualities that make us human? Not that Ana and Sebastian are human.

"My, you seem to be thinking hard. What are you thinking about?" The girl asks.

"Oh, it's nothing. Just some things an acquaintance of mine has told me." I say.

Pfft. Acquaintance. Ana is so much more to me than an acquaintance. Over the few weeks I've known her, she unconsciously took my heart. And it angered me so much to see her dancing with Colton. I remember that Ana did mention that they were friends before they came up here.

"What did they say?" The girl asks.

"Um, it's complicated. But thank you for the dance." I say as the music ends. I look over and see Ana talking to Colton again. Anger boils through my blood.

As I'm about to go over there again, I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn to see Sebastian.

"Yes?" I ask.

"You're father would like to see you." He says.

I nod and walk over to my father.
