Quest for the Lost--Sebastian's Daughter Sequel (A Black Butler Fanfic) COMPLETE

Chapter 17

I awoke to the sound of loud footsteps and voices. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, then looked around for Finny. What I saw instead was a shock.

Finny lay crumpled on the floor, motionless. People dressed in all black, some bold enough to wear lab coats, were giving each other high fives. Then they turned and looked at me with pure hatred in their venomously horrifying eyes.

They advanced as I tried to pull myself from under the covers on the bed. They were faster, and held me down, tying me up in the blanket.

Frantically, I fought against them. I had to get to Finny, I had to make sure he wasn't gone. He had to stay with me and help me.

Tears were threatening my eyes. I was soon able to rip the blanket that bound me, kick a couple nut job scientists in the head, and race over to Finny.

He was breathing, and there was no signs of physical damage. They had only knocked him unconscious so he wouldn't fight them when they kidnapped me. I smiled to myself, happy that he was okay.

During my moment of relief, a scientist jumped on top of me, and pinned me to the floor, with me lying on my stomach. I squirmed and fought, but to no avail.

All I could do was scream.

"Dad! Help me!!!"

Third Person POV:

"The angel that you say was hunted down was killed by mistake. You see, almost ten years ago, a new species was introduced to the world. It looked like a human girl, only it had one black and one white wing. It was often spotted flying in our angel's arms. Shortly after the discovery, we were able to detect where they lived, and what valley they passed over every time they tried to go home."

Sebastian was doing his best to stay calm as Christopher explained how the death of Angelica had been an accident. Christopher was referring to Selena as an "it" and it wasn't setting well with Sebastian.

"So," Christopher continued after another sip of wine, "we set up camp and observed them for a few days. Other than their wings, which could be folded and hidden under a dress or cover, they looked like any other mother and daughter wandering the city. But they were nothing but monsters in disguise."

Sebastian clenched his fists under the table. Christopher didn't seem to notice, but Maria gave him a sideways glance, disguised as a hair flip.

"Once, they landed in the valley we were hiding out in. We were able to separate the two, but the young one cried for it's mother, and the angel flew into the sky, then swooped back down and picked it up, and tried to fly away with my discovery.

"We shot at them, hitting the angel multiple times as she guarded the monster in her arms. Soon, she couldn't fly anymore, and let go of it, releasing it into the air to fly away without a backwards glance. We shot after it, but the angel was able to make one final move to defend the smaller being, and glided forward, taking the bullet in her chest. She screamed, and fell to the ground."

"So what happened to the other creature?" Maria asked, acting like the entire story was brand new to her.

"The other creature escaped to the woods. Once we got there, The only thing we found was a small blood trail, but it soon ended, leading us nowhere."

"What a shame," Maria commented, lowering her head in mock disappointment.

"Yes, it was."

"May I ask who shot the bullet that killed the angel?"

Christopher leaned in close, smirking. "I did."

Maria gasped, but Sebastian wasn't surprised. The way he told the story gave him away.

"I was the only survivor of the crash that destroyed two of our carriages. A lake was made in honor of the ones lost in the crash, because we helped keep the people safe from the monsters that lurk in the shadows. I managed to get away after using a phone to call in for help, then went straight to the docks, loaded the body, and went back to my lab."

"Is the angel there now?" Maria asked.

In a flash, their was a gun pointed at Maria's head. "That depends." Christopher said. "Is the monster with you?"

Sebastian stood quickly, arms in the air. Maria raised her hands as well, and everyone in the diner either copied them or fled from the building.

Suddenly, Sebastian had a terrible feeling. Something had happened to Selena. He could feel it.

Christopher looked up and saw the frown on Sebastian's face. "It seems we've found it." He looked to everyone else in the diner. "Leave now, if you want to stay in one piece." Everyone fled within ten seconds.

Sebastian glared at Christopher. They now knew who had Angelica, but they were all going to be captured.

"Christopher," Maria gasped. "Why?"

"Because I'm going to be the one to expose this monster to the world and hold a public execution, killing it, and it's associates."

"She's just a girl! She's done nothing to deserve being executed!"

"She came into our world and harmed innocent people! Stole from them, attacked them!"

"The only people she ever attacked were people like you who just wanted the money you would get for claiming to have discovered her!"

Christopher motioned with his gun, and two men ran inside, each seizing either Maria or Sebastian. Christopher turned to face Sebastian. "I wouldn't try anything funny, demon boy. These bullets can kill you as well."

"Understood," Sebastian agreed calmly. Alright. No funny business.

Once Christopher had turned around, Sebastian sprang into action. He jerked away from the man holding him with ease, then sent a kick into the side of the head of the person holding Maria. Christopher turned and saw Sebastian carrying Maria, and racing away.

Sebastian stopped at the door of the diner, giving a closed eyed smile. "Now, that wasn't funny, was it?" He ran through the diner doors, dodging bullets as he ran back to the hotel through the dark and busy Boston streets.
