The long lost lover (Black Butler Story) Sebastian x Lucretia

The witch's manor

  I sighed and stood up and checked on the time. It was 10:00 Pm and i need to put the young master to bed. I turned off the lights and went to the door and entered the hallways. I slightly opened my masters bedroom and saw that he is already sleeping. I guess Snake putted him to sleep and silently closed the door. I walked through the hallways and saw Horace and Celia in the distance by their bedroom doors and walked towards them. "And? found any new clue?" Horace asked. "Yes, in the picture i saw the woman was wearing a layered dress or a long skirt. I couldn't see it fully because she stepped inside the carriage already. The young lady that i met earlier said that she wore a cloak or a hood. I also know that the witch is only picking male victims and i can see who the victim now is because of this curse. If the witch chose a victim, i will get the headache and the nosebleed. But i can't dure the pain any longer, i feel that it becomes stronger and it means how close i am to be her victim." I explained. "You are saying that you will also be like the rest? Like the seal carved on your body where your heart is?" Horace asked concerned. "Yes i am afraid so." I said to them. "It seems your time is ticking and you still need to find the witch or witches." Celia said. "If we will arrive at the scene of Fred at time then we have the perfect chance to follow the witch." I said. "But what if we didn't make there on time?" Horace asked. "Then it could be that on the next day that i am dead." I sighed. "But how? We demons can't be killed by normal weapons!? Only angels or the Laevateinn can!" Horace said. "Since Amy is a grim reaper, she could kill anyone. No matter if it's a angel or a demon. Reapers are the ultimate killers with their death scythes." I said to them. "So three things can kill us!? A angelic sword and the Laevateinn and a grim reaper?" Horace asked. "Yes." I answered. "But when do we know when Fred will be killed?!" Horace asked. "We will see at night around 2 am." I said to him. "Well i wish you two good luck." Celia said and entered her bedroom. "2 am? Then we need to get a carriage around 1 am if we want to arrive there at time." Horace said.

⌛3 hours later later⌛
I was walking around the mansion as usual. Doing a night routine and Horace walked towards me. "We need to go to London. The scene will take place soon!" Horace said. I saw that it was snowing outside so i putted on my black trench coat and removed my white gloves with black ones and we went outside and stepped inside the carriage. "To London please." I said to the driver and i closed the carriage door and went. "I wonder who the next victim will be." Horace wondered. "I hope it won't be me. I can't even imagine if the pain will become stronger and stronger." I sighed and touched my forehead. "Yeah, you suddenly collapsed to the ground like you was certainly conscious. Luckily Celia and i helped you a bit." Horace said and after a half hour we arrived at London and we immediately stepped out. "I have a feeling that the murder will take place right.... There." I said and pointed a finger to the spot. "Alright we'll wait in a alleyway." Horace said and we walked to a nearby alleyway and hided behind a wall. I looked around the wall to see the scene and waited until Fred comes and the carriage. After a few minutes i saw Fred walking and saw that he was checking something on his clipboard while walking. "Hold it right there Inspector!" I heard a lady say. The inspector dropped the clipboard in shock and holded his hands up. I saw the lady and she was wearing a black layered dress and she had a hood on. She pointed the gun at him. "Huuaah! Please don't kill me! I have a wife and a unborn child!" Fred said in fear. "Where is that demon?!" She said angry. "Wh-what d-demon?!" Fred stuttered. "Sebastian Michaelis... He will maybe be our next victim. Or we are going to use him for something else... Now tell me, where is he!?" The lady said angry. "I don't know... SOMEBO-" Fred was cut off by a sound of a gunshot and realized it shot in his heart. Fred fell down dead on the ground and saw the blood was turning into the same symbol as the other bodies. "Oww... I am sorry that i shot you down." She said sarcastically and picked up the clipboard that fell on the ground. "Phantomhive mansion huh? Hmmm... What a nice mansion you have Sebastian. After a few hours you will become ours. You will become our slave and be the best demon that you ever wished for. I am sure that you will like my other sisters. Oh Sebastian..." She sighed. "I guess a witch likes you very well." Horace said. "I don't even want to know what they will do with me." I said to him. "Come on! Let's head back home!" A male voice said. "Wait a second... Isn't it Cornelius's voice!" Horace gasped. "It is! Well it seems we got the first witch... Kathleen Linares...." I said and walked around the corner and saw Kathleen stepping inside the carriage and indeed the carriage had the seal on the wheels. After she stepped inside, the carriage rided away. "Let's follow it!" Horace said and we followed the carriage. After a while the carriage stopped before a manor. The manor looked gothic like and Kathleen stepped out still wearing her hood. "I will be back soon, i need to gather some things." Kathleen said and went inside and after a few minutes she closed the manor door with a skeleton key and stepped inside the carriage and rided away again. "It seems this is the manor where the witches live." Horace said and we went towards the front door of the manor. I checked the lock. "Easy to pick... Do you have something that i can open the lock?" I asked Horace. "Horace checked his pockets and pulled out a paper clip and gave it to me. I stick the paper clip in the slot and try to open it. Eventually it opened. "It's open." I announced to Horace. "Good now let's go inside..." Horace said and i opened the door. We saw a little entrance hall with a piano and stairs leading upstairs. On the left and right where arches and pillars. The left room looked like a study room and the right more a dinner and living room. "Beautiful manor i must say. Let's go to the study room and see what we can find." I said and we went to the study room. The study room was full of bookcases and some couches and infront of the window stood a desk with a large open book. Also near the desk was a spiral stairs also leading upstairs. The room had lot of decorations aswell.

༺⌛☠Horace's POV☠⌛༻
I went towards the bookcases near a couch and went through the books. And saw a book about the witches. "It seems i got something interesting Se-" i turned around and saw Sebastian was cuddling with 2 cats. "You are all so adorable! I could bring you two to my mansion! Now who is a good kitten?" Sebastian smiled and he was blushing by their adorableness. *Meow!* one of the cats meowed. "Yes, yes you are!" Sebastian said and grabbed the cats and holded them. One of the cats lay on his hair while the cat's back paws was on his right shoulder. The other cat was holded in his arms. The cat lying on his hair was almost falling down but quickly got back up and Sebastian laughed. I never saw him this happy... I guess Sebastian has a weakness of cats. I cleared my throat and Sebastian had forgotten about Horace and the case. Sebastian immediately looked at Horace. "Oh please forgive me Horace. I have completely forgotten the case when i saw these adorable cute kittens." Sebastian said and put down the first cat. He then grabbed the cat lying on his hair but the cat didn't want to and holded on his hair but soon got the cat loose and put the second one down. "I see you love cats very much, but we need to hurry. The witches might be home in any minute." I said to Sebastian and Sebastian nodded. "Anyway i found a book about the witches." I said to him and handed him the book. Sebastian opened the book and it was a album of photo's. The only photo was 3 children with huge smiles. The first one was dressed in a purple dress and purple hat. Her eyes was purple aswell. In the middle, was a black witch and a little grey hair and blue purplish eyes. The last one had brown dress and blonde hair almost white. Her eyes was light blue. "I guess this are the sisters." I said. "They could be someone else. Or if you are right that these are the young witches." Sebastian said. "Let's search further..." Sebastian said and closed the book and gave it back to me. I putted the book back where it belongs and searched for more clues. "It seems the witches have a book full of curses... They aren't nice are they?" I heard Sebastian say and he was standing before the desk where the open book was. He turned a few pages. "We'll take this book with us." Sebastian said. "What!? Are you insane!? If we do that then the witches will certainly hunt us down!" I yelled at him. "I have a better plan..." Sebastian smirked and there was silence for a little bit. "Okay fine. But if something happens, i will blame it on you." I said to him and he grabbed the book of the desk. "I believe we have enough information, let's head back to our mansion before they come back." Sebastian said and we went back home...
