Lady And The Demon (Black Butler Fanfiction)

15. Ana Michaelis

Damn!

Ashley watched the entire thing unfold. I know she did. Now she might tell my Dad who is not going to be happy if he finds out.

To top things off, I am now completely confused about my feelings. Do demons even have feelings? I mean, I want Colton and now I want Jayce. I want them both.

I rub my temples in frustration. Okay. No need to panic. You're Ana freaking Michaelis. You can figure this out. Which boy has more to offer? Would it be Jayce who has money? Or would it be Colton who is the same species and who I can carry on my lineage with?

But then again with Jayce I can do the same but it wouldn't be pure bloods but it is still possible. But it's against demon law!

"Ugh!" I scream and ram my head into a tree trunk multiple times.

"You seem tense."

I look up and sigh.

"Hunter."

"So you mean to tell me that you like Colton and Jayce?" Hunter ask sipping her tea.

"Yeah." I reply. Hunter had brought me to a café outside of London that stayed open 24 hours.

"That sucks for you girly." Hunter says.

"Yeah." I say stirring my coffee.

"Hunter what do I do?" I ask.

Hunter sighs from under her hood.

See, Hunter used to be a citizen of London. She was married with a son. She was happy. Until about 16 years ago, Hunter had to fake her death due to a screw up on a job she had to do with Ashley. I have no idea what the job was or what the screw up was, but it was bad enough to have to, "end," her life. So now she wears a hood to conceal her identity.

I actually know who her husband is, and who her son is. But that information will be shared later on.

"What can I do?" I ask.

"I don't know kid." Hunter says.

"I don't know how I feel about your situation. But it's what you feel is right." Hunter continues.

"Demons can't feel." I say.

"You can. You're the rare demon. A demon like you only shows up once in a millennia. You're not normal." Hunter says.

"Is it the eyes?" I ask. She chuckles a little and shakes her head.

"Actually, the black etching around your pupils are pretty weird." Hunter says. I smile slightly.

"Ana. I need you to do something for me." Hunter says.

"Okay, what is it?" I ask. Hunter slides an envelope across the table to me.

"It's something from the Queen that I can't complete out of risk of my secret getting out. I need you to complete the task for me." Hunter says.

I read over the task.

"Hunter, this is a mass murder. I'll need the help of a reaper." I say.

"I'm aware, but you need another demon as well." Hunter says. She's right. There are more than I can handle. I'll need someone else of my stature.

"My preference is that you take Colton." Hunter says. I nod.

"I'll have to talk to Greyson." I mutter.

"I have to deal with Celeste. I have a contract with her." I say.

"Same with Colton and Allie. We can't just leave them."

"Take them with you." Hunter suggests. I choke on my coffee.

"What?" I ask.

"Take them with you. I need this task to be done right and I know you and Colton can do it." Hunter says.

I sit in thought. Is it really worth it?

"Alright. I'll do it and I'll talk to Colton." I say.

"Great." Hunter says.

"I have to go." I say.

"Hey." Hunter says. I turn and look at her.

"Tell Ashley I said hi." She says.

"Yeah okay." I say.

"Oh! Before I forget." I say. Hunter looks up at me.

"If you give Ashley fun dip ever again, I will personally beat your ass straight to hell and back again." I say pointing at her. Hunter laughs.

"Consider me warned." She says.

I nod, walking out and back towards the estate.

I quietly open the door and step inside silently.

I'm met with gun clicks and gun barrels against my stomach and my head. A strong grip on both of my arms.

"Bard, Mey-rin, Finny. Good evening." I say calmly.

"Who are you?" Bard asks.

"You're joking right?" I ask.

"Does it sound like I'm joking?" He asks.

"She's fine." I hear a voice say. My dad's voice. The light cuts on lighting the room. The three servants fumble and immediately retract.

"Ana!" They exclaim.

I get a chorus of apologies and crying as I walk pass them.

"Where did you go?" Dad asks.

"I wanted a cup of coffee." I say.

"Right. Coffee." Dad says sighing.

"Is there something wrong with coffee?" I ask. He shakes his head.

"I'm going to bed." I say.

"Good night Ana." Dad says.

"Good night Dad." I say.

I walk up to my room and got ready for bed and stuff. I need to see Colton. That means I have to do something no one in there right mind would do.

I have to go against my father.
