『Chapter 42』

Honestly, by this point, I don't know why I followed the season 2 timeline.

***

The whole trip to the mansion gave you a hammer to your head. You hated this. Despite how many times you tried to put on a strong facade. You didn't want fear to take over you yet here you were.

You stepped down the carriage, facing your old enemies. You swallowed a lump in your throat, gathering all of your strengths to face them. To face him.

Sebastian got a grip of your hand,  giving you a gentle squeeze. He leaned over, whispering in your ear, "It's all right, my dear. Don't let him see your fear." A shiver ran down your spine as you exhaled slowly. Ciel stepped forward, confronting his enemy. You saw Alois plastered a smirk, welcoming the three of you. His eyes landed on you as his grin widened.

"My my, is that Y/n I see?" He cheered slyly. You frowned, fighting the fear you had locked up. Eventually, your eyes landed on Claude, who had been planting his eyes to you since you arrived. That devilish golden pair that had been haunting you for many moons. You looked away, your fist formed into a ball.

You didn't bother to listen to the young nobles conversations as the three of you were then introduced to an enormous chessboard. After they parted, Ciel made his way to you.

Sebastian went to one knee, hand to his chest. "Your orders, young master?" Ciel nodded as you bowed your head slightly.  "Bring Alois Trancy down to my knees." He paused, looking at you. "Fight back, Y/n. That's an order." He demanded. Your eyes nearly expanded at his words. He and all his pride got you bowing your head. "Yes, master." You even respond by calling his title.

"I order you to make Ciel Phantomhive mine." Alois spit his tongue, his seal glowed brightly. The butler obeyed, putting a hand to his chest. "Yes, your high–"

"And one more thing." Claude looked up at his master, who had his eyes on the female on the other side.

"Put an end to Y/n's life. If there is one thing blocking my path, it's her. Besides, I'm sick of seeing the sight of her here." Alois scoffed, staring down at his butler. Claude was somehow taken back at his words, seeing how he still desired her. His lips quivered to say the words. Nevertheless, he couldn't say no.

"Yes, your highness."

"Dance Macabre!"

You mapped out your strategy as you saw the other servants prepped themselves up. Sebastian found his way across Claude. You hailed the triplets' attention to the other side, looking for some kind of a weapon. They started to corner you, you rolled over, catching a polearm. They marched at you in speed, throwing punches here and there. Three on one, you were overwhelmed by their power. One of them struck your torso, throwing you back. You let out a grunt, standing back up.  You saw them picking up a weapon each.

Stabbing the pike to the ground, you lifted yourself off the ground. You saw one of them dashed at you holding another spear. He pushed it at you but you blocked his attack using your own. Another one from behind you, using a sword. You clenched your jaw, pulling the one ahead of you by his spear and dragged him back, hitting his twin. An arrow shot right beside your head, turning back, you saw the last one with a crossbow. You kicked the sword one of them dropped, taking it in your hands and threw it at him, clashing his bow and through his chest.

One down. Two to go.

You didn't have a chance to look but you knew probably by now, Sebastian was almost finished than you were with the other butler. You gasped a breath when one of the two locked your neck with a pole. You saw the other one getting ready to slash you with a sword. You threw your head back, hitting one of them on his nose. Gripping onto the pole, you tackled the sword from his hand.
