Eternal Love (Claude Faustus X Sebastian Michaelis)

Their Butlers: Missing

Sebastian and Claude followed William into the library only to find about ten books left in the room. William's jaw nearly dropped. he turned towards Grell. "WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT COMING IN HERE~!!!" he yelled at him. 

Grell scurried and hid behind the two butlers and held onto their tailcoats. "William, it was not my fault~!!" he whined. 

William glared at Grell. "The only ones with the keys to this room are the boss, you, and myself. This leads to your uncanny ability to forget what you have done, also leading to where you must have forgotten to lock the doors," he stated.

Claude walked around the room and eventually found a secret passageway hidden behind one of the bookshelves. He looked around cautiously and walked inside to explore it on his own. Sebastian, William, and Grell were too busy arguing to notice him walk off.

He walked down the passageway and looked around for anything out of the ordinary but couldn't find anything. He was about to turn back, but was hit upside the head with something hard. he turned around to fight back, but something sharp met his chest and he was suddenly gasping for air. He tried to recover but it was only making him weaker. Embarrassed of Sebastian finding out, he didn't call out for help. Instead, he only laid on his back to try and relax to ease the sudden pain shooting through his body. "It seems that i have overcome a spider demon~" a voice teased from the shadows. 

"What do you want?" he asked trying to keep the pain out of his voice. 

"I want the entire world to be cleansed. This, of course, starts with destroying foul creatures like yourself and any other impure beast there is alive," it replied.

"Who are you?" he asked gritting his teeth.

An angel stepped out of the shadows. She had short, white hair and purple eyes. She looked at Claude and smirked. "I see that you are dying oh so quickly~" she teased as she put her foot over his throat and applied her weight to it.

He choked slightly. "What did you do to me?" he asked, pulling her foot away from his throat.

"Oh, I only coated a special blade of mine with poison that is only potent to a demon~" she sang as she pulled out a holy dagger covered with Claude's blood.

"W-What do you mean?" he asked, gritting his teeth.

"As in, if you do not get any help, you will eventually die~" she smiled widely as she twirled the blade in her hand.

He glared at her. He tried pushing himself up off of the ground, but failed. Out of embarrassment, his cheeks turned red. "Oh, is the poor little demon embarrassed that his pride is failing him at a time when he is dying?" she teased as she threw the dagger at his heart.

Claude's eyes widened slightly as one of his reflexes quickened and caught the dagger. he turned it around and threw it back at the angel. She dodged it. He looked at his hand and noticed it bleeding. He felt a burning pain in it as it tried to form a scar. He looked up, noticing the angel was gone. "She left her little toy..." he said through gritted teeth as he referred to the dagger that was lodged into the brick wall.

He slowly pulled himself up off of the cement ground and used the wall for support. "I will not die as a weakling...." he vowed quietly as he used the wall for balance as he walked out into the library.
