"Wha-what?" Halona asked with a shaky voice. Grell took a deep breath and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Halona my dear. . . The war we were in. . . Our enemy took us by surprise. They captured everyone. Including Undertaker. If it wasn't for him, I would never have escaped. I'm sorry. . ." Grell told her gently, she hugged the girl tightly. Halona stood there, stiff, and afraid. Grell pulled back and ran to Sebastian, only to be pushed away. Ciel took his loves hand tightly. He could see the fear in her eye.
"Love? Are you alright?" He asked. Halona slowly looked at him in the eye.
"Alright? Are you seriously asking me that now? My father has been kidnapped and I have no idea where he is and why!? Oh Ciel I'm fucking fine I'm as happy as can be!" She snapped. Ciel took a step back in surprise. Jade grabbed Halona's shoulder as Elizabeth did the same for Ciel.
"Halona, calm down."
"Calm down you expect me the fucking calm the hell down!?" Halona threw her hands in the air.
"Papa is missing and you expect me to calm down!?" She shouted, yanking her wrists from Jade's grasp.
"Yelling around isn't going to help the situation so shut it!" Screamed a familiar monotone voice. There stood William in the doorway.
"William! Thank goodness I'm not the only one who escaped!" Grell exclaimed happily. Halona took a deep breath, and finally let a single tear fall to the ground.
"You're right William. . . I'm glad you're okay." She said with a shaky voice. Halona apologized to Jade and Ciel.
"Its alright love." He said, holding her close and giving her a small peck on the lips. Elizabeth tried to manage a small smile. William coughed loudly, they averted their attention back to him. Halona gasped to see that he wielded her father's death scythe.
"Wha. . . What are you doing with that?" She asked. William held it out towards her. She hesitantly took it with shaky hands.
"We're going to need to protect it." He told her sternly, before collapsing to the ground unconsciously.
Halona sat next to the bed impatiently. Jade was healing the two reapers with her magic. Elizabeth sat next to Halona as did Ciel. She clutched onto her father's death scythe tightly. Her foot tapping furiously. Ciel grabbed her hand, looking her in the eye and reassuring her that everything was going to be okay.
Finally, William slightly stirred from his weakened state.
"William!" Halona exclaimed. He slowly opened his eyes and groaned from the pain. He tried to sit hit up but immediately regretted his choice. Jade gently pushed him back down on the bed.
"You're not fully healed yet, you need to rest." She ordered. William did as he was told.
"My glasses. . ." He said weakly. Sebastian cleaned off the dirt and blood from his glasses and placed them gently for the reaper.
"Thank you, heh. . . Can't believe I'm thanking a demon." William spat. Sebastian smirked and did a small bow.
"William. . . Why do you have this?" Halona asked. William sighed.
"Did Undertaker ever mention a man by the name of James?" Halona slowly shook her head in response.
"Tch. Of course he didn't. Very well. . . A century ago Undertaker had fallen in love with a human, they had a son named James. Sadly, the mother died giving birth. Undertaker loved that boy. And he loved Undertaker. But. . . He did not know that his father was a grim reaper. One day, he found out. . . Undertaker was devastated and ashamed. James told him it was okay, that he wanted to be a grim reaper as well. So they could stay together forever. Undertaker said no. . . He didn't want his son to do what he did. He wanted James to live a full happy life and die peacefully. Sadly, James did not listen. He killed himself with a dagger and Undertaker was devastated. He avoided James at all costs, it was too much for him to handle. Seeing his son become what he is. They fought, it was the hardest battle that he had ever fought. Those scars Undertaker has? That was James. Undertaker won, but just barely. James was banned from dispatch. Undertaker finally retired, and found you. He felt like a father again because of you." William said gently. Halona broke down in tears, Ciel held her tightly. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.
