Woman Long Lost

A Demons Claim Chapter 16

Ciel looked back and fourth between the two. "Lorna, who is this?" Lorna stumbled over her words as Myron walked up to her. He placed his finger under her child lifting it up. "It's been such a long time my little sparrow." He scowled at her. "However, now you smell of the stench of another demon and reapers. What have you been doing in my absence?" Ciel shoved Myron away stepping in front of his sister. "Don't touch her!" Myron smirked at Ciel. "Is this the little brat you sold yourself for?" Lorna frowned looking at the ground. "Myron please. Don't touch him." He chuckled. "I won't my sparrow. Tell me, where are you going?" She looked up at him firmly. "Back to London. Now please, let us pass." He smirked at her. "Such a feisty little sparrow you are. Alright. I'll escort you." She bit her tongue as not to make a snide remark. Ciel watched his sister in disbelief. The two were led the long distance to the docs by Myron with no one muttering a word. It didn't take much for Ciel to figure out that this was Lorna's previous Castor.

Myron kept Lorna close even on the ship he wasn't in the least bit happy as they ran into Undertaker though. They sat in the middle of the ship with a bunch of crates. Lorna walked into the crates a bit further with the other two following. She smiled softly seeing Undertaker forgetting Myron was with her. She froze through as he spoke. "So you're here. Been a while since I've seen you as well." Undertaker scowled at Myron pulling Lorna behind him. "I'm afraid it hasn't been long enough. It's too bad you demons come back." Myron glared at Undertaker. "Isn't it though? I suppose I should have kept a better eye on my sparrow. Maybe then she wouldn't have been able to contact you. Now do tell me. Where is this other demon?" Undertaker looked at him with a smirk. "I'm sure you'll be delighted to find everything out about him." This made Myron furious. "What happened?!" Lorna flinched at Myron's tone and she grabbed the back of Undertaker's coat tightly. Ciel frowned at his sister seeing her fear. Undertaker looked over his shoulder looking at Lorna. "Well deary. It seems we need to head up stairs. We should be reaching land soon." Myron glared more intensely at Undertaker for being ignored, but just followed as everyone went upstairs. Lorna's eyes widened at the burning town. She ran to the edge of the boat ready to jump off but was grabbed by her brother. "Wait Lorna!" She pulled against her brother trying to climb over. "No! I have to go find Malakai!" Myron narrowed his eyes at her. Undertaker placed his hand on her shoulder. "You can calm yourself deary. I can assure you he's safe." She hugged him tightly almost breaking out in tears thanking him over and over again. Undertaker pat her back a few times before she let him go. "Wait. How did you get him?" Undertaker smiled at her. "Sebastian brought him to my shop before running off." She frowned looking at the floor. "I see. Thank you Adrian for looking after him." Undertaker smiled patting her head. "Don't worry about it deary." "So, who's this Malakai and Sebastian?" Lorna looked at Myron with a bit of worry as she tried to come up with an answer. Ciel turned glaring at the captain. "We need to find a way back. They're turning the boat around." Myron smirked. "I've got ya kid. Come on Lorna. See you later reaper." Myron swept Lorna off her feet moving her into one arm and picked her brother up with the other but just flung him over his shoulder. Myron jumped off the side of the boat and sped to land on the waters surface. Neither sibling made a complaint on the way. Once on land Ciel looked devastated by seeing the state the town was in. Lorna just frowned. She looked down at her brother grabbing his hand. "Come on Ciel. Let's go." The three walked for a bit until Ciel was walking directly under a collapsing balcony. Lorna's eyes widened and she pulled her brother to herself trying to jump back but just tripped over her skirt. She held him under her expecting to feel the weight of the burning structure but it never came. When she opened her eyes she gave Myron a concerned look. "Are you alright?" He got off the two as he was on his hands and knees over the two. "I'm fine. What about you two? Neither of you two were hurt were you?" She gave him a soft smile. "No, we're fine. Thank you Myron." He nodded and the three turned as a screeching woman came running their way. Lorna caught her looking down at the woman. "Mayrin? What are you doing here?" Mayrin jumped off her nervously. She explained her situation but Lorna paid it no mind as she sensed Sebastian near by. She looked around trying to find him but gave up in the end when her wrist was grabbed. She followed the others to an area where she found the other servants. She frowned seeing Pluto, who was the culprit of the burning London. Myron placed his hand on Lorna's back not on her seal but above it, on the middle of her back. "Looks like you had quite the household my sparrow." She frowned. "It was quite an adventure." She looked around once more and he scowled at her. "You seem to be looking around quite a bit my sparrow. Does something bother you?" She looked at the ground frowning. "No." He smirked lifting her chin with a finger. "I see. Lay your eyes, only on me my sparrow." He leaned down placing his lips on hers causing her eyes to widened and she tried to shove him back. She managed to give him a punch across the face making him stagger back holding his cheek smirking at her. "You've still got some bite in ya. I can't wait to take you home again." Her eyes filled with fear and Ciel stepped forward moving in front of his sister. "You won't be taking her anywhere." Myron chuckled. "What can you do kid? I'll have you flat on the bottom of my shoe in seconds." Lorna placed her hand on her brother's shoulder. "Please Myron. Leave him out of this. I'll go with you, just leave him alone." Myron chuckled. "You'll come with me rather you like it or not. We have a contract remember?" She frowned looking down. Ciel now knew he couldn't fight in this battle. She turned away from him grabbing Ciel's hand. "Right. Come Ciel." Myron Grabbed her shoulder stopping her from leaving. "Wait Lorna." She turned to him confused. "What is it?" He smirked at her. "There is an angel lurking about. Come. You shall be of use." Her eyes widened as she let go of Ciel. "What? You don't mean." He chuckled sliding his hand down her arm to her wrist pulling her to him placing his other hand on her hip. "Why yes. I do. Only you can make killing an angel entertaining." She placed her hands on his chest trying to push away from him. "No. Please Myron! You know I can't control it!" He chuckled leaning down close to her face. "Yes, but I can." Fear consumed her and he slid his hand up her back. He instantly stopped as a black figure jumped down behind Lorna. "I do believe the lady doesn't want to be touched." Myron glared at Sebastian pulling Lorna to his chest wrapping an arm around her waist. "Beat it demon. She's already claimed." Sebastian smirked and Lorna looked at Sebastian pleadingly. "It's funny you should say that, as it is my mark that is currently on her." Myron's head instantly snapped down at Lorna in anger. "What?!" She flinched in fear but Myron instantly smirked looking back up at Sebastian. "Well. No matter. You may have claimed her, but you have no control over her as I do." Lorna began shoving at Myron already knowing what he was going to do. She lashed around as he held onto her arm instantly placing his hand over her seal. She let out a cry of pain falling against him and Sebastian frowned. Myron chuckled letting Lorna go. He moved his hand off her seal as she settled down and moved back. She stood still letting her hair cover her face. Ciel went to run to her but Sebastian grabbed his arm. "No young master. It isn't safe." Myron chuckled. "No, I can assure you it is. Now, seeing as she has requested I keep the brat alive. I'll spare the kid. Lorna. Go tear that angel to shreds." Lorna was gone in a heart beat racing up the side of the building towards Ash. Ciel and Sebastian looked at Myron strangely. "How can you control her?" Myron smirked at Ciel. "Now who would I be if I couldn't even control my own creation?" Sebastian nodded. "Lorna said she was demon and vampire, I can understand the demon, but where did she get the vampire from?" Myron looked up at Lorna watching her claw at Ash tearing him to shreds. "It was a hard thing to get a hold of I'll tell ya that much. I had to go find a vampire in hell to do that one." Ciel scowled at him. "Why go to such lengths?" Myron chuckled. "You're sister is quite the beauty, who wouldn't want to do things for her? Besides. It's a contract. Both sides must be met to the fullest extent to form it and maintain it. She was mine for eternity and in return I gave her the power of a demon and a vampire." Ciel couldn't quite comprehend the contract. "Eternity? Why want someone that long? Didn't you two just meet?" Myron smirked at Ciel. "Ah, but you're wrong. Yes, on that day she had just met me. However, I had been watching her for many years before then. I found her in the forest playing a silly game with you when she was a little girl. I've watched and waited for her since." Sebastian sighed. "It seems you've made the wrong approach in keeping a stable relationship. You've also failed to form a contract only you can make." Myron sighed. "I know, but on the bright side. Only I can control the demon within. That is a well built plan of defense on my end. I am glad that I was able to come up with at least that, granted if you wanted to and she was willing. I could just hand her over completely to you. Demon, leash, and all. Though if she thinks her seal hurts be tampered with. The pain of demon extraction hurts like the flames of hell. She'll be in excruciating pain through the whole transfer." Sebastian looked at him confused. "You're willing to just hand her over?" Myron shrugged his shoulders with his hands up. "You can fight to take a woman back from a man. You can't fight to take a woman back from a man with a child that isn't even yours." Ciel rose a brow. "How did you know Malakai was their kid?" Myron crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm not stupid kid. I can solve a puzzle." Myron looked up watching Lorna jump down next to him. "Good. You've taken care of it." He looked at her curiously as she handed him a white bloody wing. "No, just get rid of it." She tossed it to the side and just stared looking around. "Lorna, go find that reaper of yours." She instantly took off and Myron turned back to the other two. "Welp, I suppose since matters here have been settled for the most part. I'll head back to the other side of the country. Take care of Lorna for me. Oh, and here." Myron pulled a small vile out of his vest pocket handing it to Sebastian. "Should you guys want to transfer her over to your control or something, or just need it in general. The reaper will have her sealed up before she comes back so there's no point in me staying. Just send her bird out should you need anything." He waved leaving and the two stood not knowing what to do. Undertaker walked over with Lorna in his arms and his scythe in one of his hands. "Where did he go?" Ciel looked at his sister. "He ran off. Back to his house." Undertaker tilted his head in confusion. "That's strange. I could have sworn he'd put up a fight to get her back." Sebastian chuckled. "Yes, so did we. However, there are times when it becomes to late to fight for what you want. He left this behind as well. Said we could use it to bind her and I completely." Undertaker frowned. "That's a dangerous binding Sebastian." Ciel looked at Undertaker confused. "How so?" He looked down at Ciel. "I'll explain it to ya if they do agree to do it." He looked back up to Sebastian. "I hope you understand that this is a commitment, I suppose you could make this your official wedding." The undertaker giggled and Sebastian sighed. "I understand. I will speak with her about it later." Undertaker nodded handing her over to Sebastian trading the vile for her. The undertaker waved to the as he walked away. Ciel looked up at Sebastian before looking down. "I suppose we're done now." Sebastian smirked down at him. "I suppose so." Sebastian held Lorna in one arm as he walked to the docks with Ciel. He formed a boat out of nowhere and helped Ciel onto it. He placed Lorna in it, laying her down. Ciel frowned at his sister. "You make her look as if she is dead." Sebastian smiled. "In a way young master, she has been for some time." Ciel's frown deepened as Sebastian began rowing the boat with the one paddle at the back of the boat. "What do you mean by that Sebastian?" Sebastian looked down at the siblings. "She has given herself up to a demon. She is no longer human. Her soul is empty. She has a hollow soul. If it were taken away it wouldn't even matter. She's a demon now. She has no need for a soul. So, she died the day she made the contract with Myron." Ciel clenched his fists. "So you're telling me. That my sister has been dead this entire time? I've known nothing but an empty shell since she came back?" Sebastian frowned. "I'm afraid so. Perhaps that is why she isn't the same as she once was." Ciel leaned down resting his head on her chest as he let his tears run freely for his sister. Sebastian kept rowing but looked away from the two. He didn't feel he could bare to watch the sorrow his young master was felling. Ciel eventually laid next to his sister wrapping his arms around her for the rest of the trip. Sebastian carried both siblings in each arm once they reached the island. He sat Lorna next to Ciel who let her rest against him. Ciel closed his eyes relishing in the slight warmth his sister radiated off for a moment. He wanted it to last longer, but he only let it last for a moment before looking at Sebastian. "I'm ready." Sebastian smiled at him and leaned over sitting Lorna up so she wouldn't get in their way. He turned back to Ciel and gave him a smile. "Yes. I will be as gentle as I can." Ciel scowled. "No, I want it to be painful. I want to know I lived my life." Sebastian gave him a soft smile. "Of course." Ciel closed his eyes as Sebastian placed his hand under Ciel's chin Lorna began to stir a bit but neither boy realized. Sebastian stopped before he even began though. He frowned backing away. Lorna opened her eyes staring at the crumbling rock wall. She just sat there thinking to herself. Sebastian stepped away frowning and looked at Lorna. He looked at her lost look and reached a hand out to her. She looked at him for a moment before looking at the ground. "I don't understand Sebastian. We had a promise." He dropped his hand at his side letting her continue. "Why Sebastian" She looked back up at him sadly. "Why did you leave my brother behind in France? Why did you let him get into so many situations like that?" She looked back at the ground as tears weld in her eyes. "You took off with Malakai. When I found Adrian, he said he had him. So then where were you?!" She snapped looking up at him. Tears fell from her eyes looking up at him. "Where did you go that was so important to take off with our child and leave him with my friend and leave my brother in danger?!" She jumped to her feet and stumbled around. He went to catch her grabbing her arm but she smacked his hand away. "Don't touch me!" Her actions shocked him and she fell onto her side. She held herself up with her hands as she wept on the ground. Her hair covered her face to hide her tears. "What was so important Sebastian? Were you off with Angela?" His eyes widened a bit before returning back to his frown. "No. I was always there Lorna." She clenched her hands into fists. "Don't lie to me!" He hesitantly knelt down next to her. "If it will make you feel any better. You can bite me and see for yourself where I've been." She looked at him watching him open his shirt, unbuttoning his coat and shirt. He wrapped an arm around her pulling her to him as her canines grew longer. She wrapped an arm around his neck as she bit into his shoulder causing him to tense from the pain. She didn't take long or take much blood. She let him go after a few seconds and frowned. "You were still lying. You weren't there in France with us. Why were you in the reaper headquarters?" He looked down at her to look her in the eyes as he spoke. "I wanted to gain information. I wanted to know more about your history with Myron. I couldn't find anything. I forgot that it was all erased when you and I formed our contract." She smiled softly placing a hand on his cheek. "Yes. It was. It was what was driving William mad." She looked over frowning at her brother. "You've done it, haven't you?" He stood up pulling her into his arms. "No. He's still very much alive. I couldn't bring myself to take his soul. Not now anyway. So he's just unconscious. I shall take you two home." She nodded giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Don't ever do that again. Do you hear me?" He chuckled at her moving her into one arm picking her brother up in the other. "Yes ma'am." She smiled softly leaning against him on his shoulder. He placed her in the boat handing her brother to her. She just laid him down with his head in her lap. She stroked his hair as Sebastian rowed them back. She was happy to have her family back, even if there were faults in it.
