Soulmate?

Chapter 3 Contracted Again...

Crystal looks up through her hair sniffling. "So, you two are pretty much contracted to me, right?" Sebastian stiffen at her words muttering under his breath glancing over to me. "Contracted." I look down at floor then back up at Crystal. "Not exactly...but somewhat...yes." Tears began to flood her eyes as her bottom lip quivers with fear and sadness. I immediately glance at Sebby. "Would it be that bad?" Sebastian lets out a breath of air blowing his bangs out of his eyes looking down at the floor. "No, I guess it wouldn't." Looking back up at the sobbing nymph I take in a deep breath hoping not to regret my next words. "Fine, yes we are contracted to my little nymph." "Really!" beams Crystals in chibi form. Sebastian with tick mark above head while letting out irritated sigh. Myself with the same motion as Sebastian but a small hint of a smirk playing at my lips.

Just then the little shop rumbles with the sound of church bells. "Five o'clock already...We need to get back to the manor Lauren." comments Sebastian gently placing his pocket watch back into his butler jacket. Nodding in agreement I start to stand when a small hand grasps my leather jacket collar. "Please stay?" whispers the small nymph rubbing her right eye with the back of her hand. "Eh..." I say looking back at Sebastian who narrows his eyes in response clearly upset before instantly nods with a small smile. "OK I will stay...Sebastian go back to the manor I will meet you there soon." I said standing up facing him standing up on my tip toes pressing a small kiss upon his lips. A smile spreads on Sebastian's lips before he leaves with the Undertaker.

As soon as Sebby and Undertaker leaves I turn to find Crystal on the floor curled up into a ball. "Come now Crystal everything is going to be alright." I say leaning forward a bit smiling hands clasped behind my back. "How would you know such things?" Crystal asks looking up at me from a sideways glance. A smirk filled my lips as I respond "Trust me I am one hell of a butler...I would know." "You can't take Sebastian's catchphrase, can you?" Questions Crystal. My smirk never fades with my following comment. "When he is my husband I can." Crystal stares back at me with big curious eyes. "I don't use Undertakers catch phrases...I don't say, Welcome to me shop...are you ready to be fitted for one of me coffins." I narrow my eyes at the little nymph. "You don't sell coffins." This time Crystal narrowed her eyes at me. "I do sell coffins!" I shake my head in response "No you don't...anyway are you ready to retire for the night?" Crystal shakes her head making her hair sway around her features. "Yes, quite that sounds nice"

Nodding in agreement I stand up straight pushing a few strands of hair out of my eyes. "As you wish, my little nymph." I follow the nymph up to their bedroom helping with whatever was necessary within her retiring routine. As she got under the black covers, I look over the covers gently smoothing them out to fit around the small nymph. "There we are...I bid you a good night...Sleep well my little nymph." Almost like my words were like magic Crystal falls into a deep sleep. I quietly make my way back out of the shop to get back to my husband awaiting back at the manor. Buttoning up my jacket I slowly opening the door to the sharp cold air rushing past me. Stepping out into the snow I close the front door of the shop before hearing the snow crunch behind me. Turning around I was met with a hard fist against my temple knocking me out cold.

Crystals PVO

A loud thud rang out through me shop waking me from me deep slumber. Shooting up out on bed hitting the cold black marble floor. A small thud followed by a whisper like yelp echoed in me room. Scrabbling to me feet I grasp the bone shaped door handle slowly turning it to be met with a dim hallway. "Lua-ren?!" I whisper yell down the hall. Getting no response, I make me way down the hall ninja rolling down the stairs into me shop. Landing at the bottom in a ninja fight stance surrounded by me wings. The shop's usually peace like atmosphere is no longer there but now replaced with an eerie white glow. "Hello?" I yell into the void which is me flower shop. Slowly walking through me flowers I began to yell. "Whoever you are! You better show yourself! I fight better than Ash Landers!" I say holding up me fists up in a fist a cuff like fashion. A streak of white like flashed before me eyes as me flowers fell to the ground in shreds. "How dare you compare an angelic being to your filthy nymph like self." screams Ash Landers himself. Me eyes fell to the shreds of what was once me beautiful creations as a low chuckle escapes me throat.

A demonic voice echo around me. "You touched me flowers!" Ash laughs in response, "I'm impressed that sounds just like one of those filthy demons that I just caught." I laugh at his words "Unfortunately for you I am not a demon." Ash's eyes narrow dangerously "I pretty sure I can handle a little thing like you." "Alright we will see about that!" I warn running at the disgusting angel. Deep bone seen cuts instantly appear on Ash's chest underneath his fancy white suit. Ash grunt retaliating with his own wings shooting out towards me. "You will pay for this!" Screams the angel swinging his wings out towards me body. A loud pop rang out throughout me flower shop as I slap his wings with mine. Ash gawks at me attacks, desperately blocking them. After a few minutes of fighting Ash has enough and jumps back away from me. "Enough! I will not be beaten by an impure nymph!" I laugh in response once more "Impurity is such a funny word, especially coming from a fallen angel like yourself." Ash becomes furious "How dare you compare me to filthy demons! I'm ending this now! Solar Flare!" Screams Ash placing his hands in front of his face emitting a blinding white light. As this light shows through me flower shop, I was midair for another attack. Becoming temporarily blind I fall on to the grass blinking me eyes. Ash laughs at me state and I fiercely jab at the air around me. A sharp blow to me temple soon brings eternal darkness to me as I fall unconscious at Ash's feet.
