Black Demon's Witness (Black butler fanfic)

Chapter 33: Who likes Who?

The seats of the carriage were black and soft. I sat down on the right side, while Sebastian sat on the other side. I admired the beautifully designed carriage from the inside in complete awe. The gold metal was carved into beautiful stars and were sparkling around the carriage. I couldn't do anything but smile, for Sebastian had got this new carriage for me. "You seem happy." Sebastian stated, and I smiled even brighter. "Yes, I am." I beamed. As we passed the buildings of town, I looked out the window in deep thought. Anthony doesn't like me, he's just my new friend. Although, he does have a habit of changing his attitude when I'm around him. With others he's regular and sarcastic, bit around me he's...he's... I don't really know. It's something I've never seen before. Maddie seemed like the only one who could see it. Maybe she could sense a typical flirt or fancy anytime she sees it. She had that certain link towards attitudes like that, but I didn't. I don't really focus on men's actions like that unlike her. Sebastian looked at me as I watched the people on the streets pass by. He was thinking as well,but maybe we weren't thinking about the same thing.

Who likes who?

That was my question. I can't face that Anthony seems a lot like Sebastian in a certain way. He's strong, handsome and smart. Like Sebastian. He's attentive, overprotective and sometimes a real pain. Like.....Sebastian. Do I like Anthony just because he's like Sebastian? My eyes widened, and I frowned at my thoughts. That can't be right, can it? I've been mad at Sebastian for four days now, yet I'm still thinking of him. I peeked at Sebastian from the corner of my eye, and he was staring downward. What was he thinking about? Was he thinking about me or what Maddie said? Did Anthony really fancy me at all or was she joking? Why would anyone like me at all. I'm stubborn, insane at certain times and really emotional. I can't go a day without crying or getting angry over something. So why would anyone like me at all?

I looked at Sebastian and opened my mouth, but no words came out. I couldn't find the right words. 'Do you think Anthony likes me?' or 'Do you like me?' or 'Am I likable'? I had no idea what to say. I closed my mouth and stared out the window. Maybe I should just wait, but I do want to ask him. I'll try asking one question just for now. "Sebastian." I called his name gently and he looked at me with shimmering eyes. "Am...I likable?" I asked. He blushed and smiled. "Yes, you're very likable."

"How? I'm so annoying! I'm emotional and completely stubborn! How can anyone like me?" I let all of my thoughts out without knowing, and Sebastian smiled in amusement. "What's so funny?" I asked. "You're very cute when you tell how you feel." Sebastian replied. I felt my body go numb, and my face burned hot. Did he just call me 'cute'? "I'm not cute." I muttered. "Not if you act like that. You were cuter when you smiled." Sebastian grabbed my cheeks and tugged at them. My cheeks burned and felt as if they were being stretched to the limit. "Stop it!" I said and Sebastian released my face instantly. I looked at Sebastian angrily while holding my cheeks, and he smiled. I was not cute. "Why does Maddie insist on telling me that Anthony likes me?" I asked. Sebastian's smile disappeared. "I don't really know, Jae." He looked away from me. I guess I ruined the mood by talking about Anthony. The carriage stopped and the coachman opened the door. "The Sheriff's Station, Madame." The coachman said, and Sebastian stepped out the carriage. He grabbed my hand and helped me out of the carriage as always. We walked into the station and the first person we see is Mr.Randolph. He has a gun in his hand and is standing by the door with a serious look on his face. "Mr.Randolph? What's th-"

A loud crash comes from the next room. "Madame, it's Daniel but he's not the same." Mr.Randolph pulled me away from the other room. "His eyes....are black, pitch black and he won't listen to us at all. He's gone mad!" Mr.Randolph was going into a panic. I grabbed a hold of his shoulders and shook him back and forth. "Mr.Randolph calm down! You're going mad! I'll go see what's-"

Mr.Randolph pushed me back and shook his head. "No! You can't! It's dangerous!" He said repeatedly. "Why not?" I asked.

"Because you're a lady!"

"I may be a lady," I pushed Mr.Randolph against the wall and frowned at him,"But I am just as strong as you! Move aside!" I pushed him away and walked towards the door. Another loud crash was heard and a sudden cry for help rang through my ears. I opened he door carefully and saw broken glass on the floor along with scraped wood and nails. "Help!" Another cry was heard from the other side of the room. A policeman was stuck under a heavy broken table on the other side of the room. His right leg seemed to be broken as well. "Help him Sebastian." I ordered and Sebastian ran over to the man at once. I searched the room carefully. Wasn't Daniel in here? Why is everything suddenly so quiet? Something wet dripped onto my shoulder, and I wiped it off. The liquid was dark red and warm. Blood?

"Look out!" The policeman called out to me and I quickly looked up. Daniel was in the corner of the ceiling with blood dripping form his mouth. His eyes were completely black, and his teeth were razor sharp. He jumped down from the ceiling and fell on top of me. His face was pale, and he snarled at me. "Jae!" Sebastian called me. "Help the policeman! That was your order!" I yelled. Daniel leaned closer to me and suddenly stopped. He sniffed my neck. "What are you-?" I felt him lick my neck suddenly and my body shivered. I heard him inhale and exhale heavily. Everything was still and silent.

"Jae?" Daniel called my name lazily and looked me in the eyes. His eyes were still black, but I knew it was the real him. "Daniel? What happened to you?" I asked. "I-I- I don't know..I was picking up Anthony and then..." Daniel sighed. I remembered that he was hovering over me, and I blushed. "Umm. Can you get off of me now?" I asked. Daniel blushed and quickly got up. "Sorry." He said and reached his left hand out to me. Sebastian and the policeman were in complete shock. "How did...you were just..." The policeman was in utter confusion at the moment. He was free from underneath the table, but his leg was still broken. "I'm sorry. I don't know what happened." Daniel apologized as he rubbed the back of his head. I dusted off my dress and sighed. "You were missing for three days. Did you know that?" I asked.

"Three days? I was picking up Anthony just last night."

"So you don't remember?"

"I suppose so.."

Daniel stared at the ground in thought and suddenly looked at me. "I was leaving the Undertaker's shop and headed over to the harbor. After that I felt something hit my head, I fell, something bit me three times and everything became unclear. That's all I remember." Daniel sighed. I guess he was missing because something attacked him, but what attacked him? "Did you see anything?" I asked. Daniel shook his head. He said something bit him. "What did the bite feel like?" I asked. Daniel thought for a moment and unbuttoned his shirt. I blushed for a moment but stayed still. Daniel pulled off his shirt and turned around. "Oh my..god." I said and covered my mouth.

Daniel had three pairs of teeth marks on his back, and they were dripping in blood.
