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

Chapter 30

(Here it is, the last chapter. I hope you guys enjoy!)

Alex gently led me down the stairs and into the dining room. I gaped for a minute at everyone waiting for me around a table. I turned to Alex. "This is your idea of a surprise?"

I heard a chair screech against the wooden floor, and looked up to see my father walking over to us. I let go of Alex and latched onto my father's arm.

Dad led me over to the seat where he had been sitting. I sat in the chair sideways so the back wouldn't touch my wings.

Alex walked over and stood next to me. He kept glancing around the room, like he was expecting something big to happen. All I expected was some bad news.

A door opened behind me. I turned and saw Finny walking into the room, with a few boxes in his arms. He sat them on the table, them walked over to me.

Once Finny was close enough, I reached out and hugged him. He hugged me back, gentle as always. I automatically felt better knowing he and Alex were both there with me, even though Alex still hadn't explained himself.

I let go of Finny and turned to my dad. "Alex kept saying that he left the other night because you had a surprise for me. Is he telling the truth, or trying to make sure I don't hate him for being a jerk?"

Dad laughed and Alex sighed. "Yes, Selena," Dad said. "We have a surprise for you. Alex left when he did because I told him to go get it. I didn't know him leaving would hurt you so much."

"I didn't either," I mumbled. Then I spoke up. "I don't know what it is, but I feel a connection between me and him, Dad. Is it because we're the same? Or is there something else?"

Dad smiled, and Alex was quiet. Did he feel the same thing? Then Dad spoke. "Hopefully all will become clear as you spend time together trying to restore your angel half."

"Yeah, maybe. But I think there might be a part of me that doesn't want to find out..."

Dad smiled sympathetically and brushed some of my hair from my face. Then he walked over to the boxes and went through them one at a time, before closing them. While he was doing this, a thought occurred to me. "Where's Maria?"

"She's upstairs preparing for the surgery to fix your wings, getting everything she needs pulled out and cleaned." Alex answered.

"What about Peter? We are back at Maria's house, right?"

"He's in his room studying. He's really smart for such a little guy."

I turned my head to Alex. "When did you meet him?"

"This morning when I was carrying you upstairs, he was standing in the hallway. He was worried about you. We talked for a bit before he went back to his room."

I nodded. "When did Maria want to do this surgery?"

"She said it would be best to do it as soon as possible, but we wanted to give you the surprise first."

I nodded again. I didn't have any idea why they put this surprise over my health. I felt exhausted and nauseous. My throat was dry and my head was spinning. I folded my arms on the table and rested my head on them, then turned my head in Finny's direction.

"Finny, can you get me some water?" I asked, my voice starting to croak as I became more aware of how I was feeling.

Finny nodded. "Sure thing," then hastily ran toward the kitchen.

Dad brought the boxes over and sat them on the table beside me. He then turned to Alex. "Go see if Maria wants to join us, would you?"

Alex nodded his head and then turned and ran upstairs.
