Lady And The Demon (Black Butler Fanfiction)

21. Ana Michaelis

We get to London by nightfall.

I hop out of carriage and look around for any suspicious activity.

"So Ana, you're alive." Greyson says, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"So, Greyson. I am. But if you want to live, I suggest you retract your arm from my waist." I say.

"You're no fun." Greyson says, tightening his grip. I sigh I'm annoyance and punch his face. Greyson takes the impact in slow motion then falls to ground like gravity suddenly kicked in.

"Stupid reapers." I mutter, starting to walk towards a blue light.

"That was rude, Michaelis." Jake snaps.

"Yes. But, true, Spears." I call back.

"Ana! Wait for me!" Celeste says, running to me.

"I want to come!" Allie says.

"No stay with Colton. I can't protect two. Besides we need to split up. Ashley, Allie, and Jacob, go with Colton. Celeste and Greyson, come with me." I sigh the last part.

"Oh, boy. Party with Ana." Greyson says as we walk towards the light I was trying to go after.

"You are starting to act like your father." I mumble irritably.

"That's insulting." Greyson says.

"You're insulting." Celeste fires back.

"I am not!" Greyson argues.

"Yes you are." Celeste and I say, turning into an ally. I stop when I see a carcass on the ground. Celeste gasps causing me to close her eyes.

"Woah." Greyson says.

"Celeste. Don't look, okay?" I ask.

"Okay." She replies shakily. I remove my hand and walk up to the corpse.

"It's a vampire." I say.

"How do you know?" Greyson asks. I carefully push it's upper lip up to reveal it's fangs.

"I wonder what happened to it." I murmur.

"Ana, look." Greyson says. I follow his finger and look at a huge gash.

"Holy crap." I whisper. The gash is deep and looks like it was burned. But there's a substance around it that looks clear. Almost pure. I pull out a small vile and scoop some up and cork it. I know someone who would probably know what it is.

"What could it be?" Greyson asks.

"I have no clue. Just reap the soul so we can get out of here. I have someone I need to see." I say.

"Yeah. Okay." Greyson says as we stand.

"What was that thing?" Celeste asks.

"A vampire." I say as Greyson digs his gardening ho into the body. The golden film bursts from the vampire and into Greyson's bag. Greyson laughs hysterically. I sweat drop and Celeste hides behind me.

"That felt amazing! Oh my god!" He says.

"Good for you." Celeste says timidly.

"Let's go find the others." I say.

I wave for Celeste to start walking. We turn and are stopped by a figure.

"Ana Michaelis. I never thought I'd get to meet you."

"Who the hell are you?" I ask.

"A servant of my masters. They want you and Colton Faustus for a sacrifice." The figure says.
