Their Assassin {Black Butler x Reader}

sixteen

January the first, 11:30. You were just lying on your bed. Your eyes stared at the ceiling that wasn't even visible for you because of the darkness in your room. Still your eyes kept focussing on that special point right above your head. 
It was almost your birthday and you could not sleep. You desired the sleep more than everything at this point, but you were wide awake. 
Almost seventeen. The years had been flying. You were still very young, however it felt like you already had the experience of a seventy year old woman. 

For another fifteen minutes you stared at the darkness. Your eyes were getting used to it throughout those long minutes and you could almost see all the details on your decorated ceiling. Wild thoughts flew around your busy mind. Thoughts that weren't meant to be there. They could be called sins, but you prefered the term tresspassers. 
A loud sigh left your mouth as you turned to your side and closed your eyes. Another useless attempt to sleep at a useless time on a useless day. 

The clock kept coming closer to the date you were born, only seventeen years later. Ten seconds and it would be time to celebrate - or sleep. As you silently waited until those seconds ended you heard footsteps in the hallway. They seemed to be close to your door, close enough to enter the room any second. Five, four, three... 

The sound of the doorknob roughly turning reached your ears and at the last second it flew open. What a nice start of your birthday. 

Pink glowing orbs looked at you from the door opening. "The contract is over." You recognized the voice as the one from your butler, but somehow it was a little bit deeper. He quickly came to the side of your bed, his light hair waving with his movements. Alden placed a large hand on your cheek. "You're mine now, [Y/N]."  He whispered into the cold air. Without any movement you looked up at him. 

"What do you think you are doing, Alden?" Your tone was toxic and a bit threatening. "What do you mean with the contract?" A smirk crawled its way onto the face of the demonish butler. 

"For every story there is a time and place, however the time for this story isn't now and the place isn't here." He took his hand off your face. "I will pack the stuff you need, then we'll get going." 

"I think not." You said as you pushed yourself from your bed. "I won't be going anywhere tonight. I don't care if you leave - it's not so hard to replace you - but I have stuff to do." Your fingers wrapped around his wrist and you didn't hesitate to pull him towards the door. "And I don't know what you have done with your eyes, but I would let a doctor look at them if I were you." In seconds Alden had pulled his wrist from your fingers and had turned you around so you were facing him. He grabbed your chin between his thumb and pointer finger, tilting in slightly to look you in the eyes. 

"I don't think you are taking this serious. My contract with your dad has ended so that means you are mine now." Alden leaned in until your faces were only an inch away from eachother. "Try to fight it, dear. I will take you with me no matter what." You stared into his demonish eyes. 

"Excuse me," you started, "but I really don't want to put too much effort into this. So Alden, let me go and you are maybe allowed to stay here until morning." 

"I'm afraid I can not do that. Now it's time to go. We'll leave your stuff be, I have replacements at the palace so you don't have to worry about these useless things here." Alden pulled you a little bit closer to him. "Please forgive me for this, this is the only way to get there in time." Just as he was about to pick you up you landed a kick in the side of his stomach. It would have hurt if he had not been a demon. A surprised look came upon your face as he did not even respond to the kick. He took a deep breath before speaking.

 "You should not have done that."
