Once Upon A Dream *Sebastian Michaelis* (Black Butler Fanfiction)

Chapter VII

 

            About two week past, and the little Phantomhive lord had been overly busy with crime. He’d captured about three different criminals, whom were quite delicious…. Though, his primary mission having to do with the missing girls was still a dead end. Sebastian and I were to delve into it further by traveling to that particular area of London later tonight.

            Ciel was quiet as he worked; I left soon after and began the chores that Sebastian had asked me to do. I found him in one of the rooms I was to clean and tidy up; he was bent petting Frost and Forrest as they rubbed against his legs. I grinned devilishly and snapped my fingers, the two cats immediately transformed into their naked human forms. They pushed Sebastian down onto the floor and continued purring like cats, Frost even licked the butler’s cheek.

            I laughed at the very comical image of Sebastian being pinned down by naked demon cats. Sebastian pushed them off, anger evident in his red eyes as he stood and brushed himself off. I snapped my fingers and the two were cats again.

Sebastian made eye contact with me and glared.

“Just having a bit of fun… loosen up, Sebastian,” I laughed humorously.

His eyes narrowed and he stalked forward, pinning me against a wall in the room.

“I hadn’t realized you had such a kinky side… three men… really?” He murmured, his breathe brushing against my lips at his closeness.

“Oh shush Sebastian, you know that wasn’t it at all,” I whispered back, “I just love to see you squirm,” I growled, moving even closer to his lips so that they were just a hair away from touching.

I pushed him away then, and walked out of the room silently. 

I finished the rest of my chores with out interruption, and soon it was time for Sebastian and I to head out.

Ciel is in bed when we decide to go. We stalk outside of the manor and into the cool night air; the wind blows past, whipping through my dark hair. In a flash, we’re gone from sight, and it only takes us a little while to get to our destination. 

The streets are silent save for the occasional homeless person or drunken man. We are shadows as we stalk down the sidewalks. Suddenly there is a deafening scream that breaks the cold silence of the night, it echoes from about a block away. We dash forward and onto the roofs of the buildings, our feet making the faintest click as they meet the tile.

I jump down into the alleyway where the voice had resounded, three silhouettes stood before me; one holds a fourth silhouette by the neck. There’s a sickening crack and then the fourth silhouette is on the floor, the street lamps illuminate her, ebony locks swirling around her as her eyes stare lifelessly ahead.

The three shapes dash away, and I pursue with out hesitation. They stop on a roof a little ways away, and Sebastian lands next to me. They step out into the moonlight, their purple hair aglow with the ghostly beams of the moon.

“A message from our master,” the first starts.

“The Lord Trancy,” the second continues.

“Sends his regards,” the third finishes before they bow and disappear completely from sight.

There is silence between us as the night returns to its deathly quiet.

“Well, that didn’t require much work…” I stated, then turned and began walking back down the street.

Sebastian seems to scowl as he trails behind me.

 The next morning, Ciel was furious. Apparently the two had past conflicts, and Ciel absolutely despised the Lord Trancy.

“We’re going there, now… I want you to kill Alois Trancy…” Ciel growled out as he stalked out of the room.

“Yes, my lord,” Sebastian and I replied at the same time.

****

The carriage was prepared and we left soon after.

The Trancy manor came into sight and for some reason my heart became wary as I felt another presence of a demon. The feeling seemed familiar and I sniffed the air to get a better scope of our situation.

Sebastian sent me a curious glance, but remained silent.

I still couldn’t quite put my finger on the scent… but I new that I’d smelled it before… and it wasn’t good.

Ciel stalked over to the doors and knocked forcefully.

I froze at the deep voice that answered the door.

“Ah… Lord Phantomhive… we’ve been expecting you.”
