Soulmate?

Chapter 5 Buckingham

Everyone laughs before tying unconscious Ash to the vines in the tube that Crystal was in. While Crystal takes his sword. Sebastian turns looking at the silver golden handled sword in Crystal's hands with utter disgust. "Why on Earth would you want that worthless piece of metal?" he asks narrowing his eyes. "So, he won't have it, and I would." Crystal says with her head cocked. Shaking my head, I grab Sebastian's hand pulling him along with me before he could respond something snarky. "So, where in London England are, we?" I asked climbing the stairs with Sebastian at my side. "Westminster, to be exact also known as Buckingham Palace." Adrian says happily. After the overly excited answer to my question Adrian pushes open the door showing the quarters of Queen Victoria herself. Crystal and my eyes grow wide that the thought of being in the Queen's quarters. "I am seriously fighting an impulse to steal an ashtray..." I whisper looking all over the elegant room.

The huge window leading to the garden behind the grand palace was wide open indicating that this was Sebastian's and Adrian's entryway. The garden shown through the window held many rows of luxurious flowers surrounding a rectangular pond like structure. In the middle of the rectangular pond was a golden fountain statue of a lion spraying water from its mouth. A light brown cobblestone pathway snaked throughout the flowers, and trees that shielded the public from the royal garden. The moonlight shown on the sparkling water that lightly dusted on the many flowers. This was obviously one of the most peaceful places in England at this precise moment.

Before we made our way to the window to escape in the peaceful garden back to the Phantomhive manor a blood curdling scream filled the palace. All four of our heads snap towards the corridor leading deeper in the palace. Silence followed as the four of us stood completely still waiting for something to happen. "Which rabbit is being hunted today?" Adrian asks laughing. Just then a Pluto size wolf ran pass the bedroom door. "Wolf..." Sebastian says smiling. I smile back before running off in the direction of the wolf. "Wolf!" Sebastian runs after me laughing leaving the Craven couple behind. "Well Adrian looks like we have a rabbit to hunt." Crystal says smirking. "Looks like we do have a rabbit to hunt." Adrian states smiling a genuine smile. Crystal and Adrian run after us to see we have almost caught the wolf. The wolf was cornered by Sebastian and I crouched in predator like stance keeping our eyes trained on the wolf before us.

Moving if needed to keep the wolf in check as Sebastian moves forward to glomp the wolf. The wolf snarled at Sebastian who punches the wolf in the nose. "No bad puppy!" scolds Sebastian. The wolf jumped back in shock and pain. Instantly following the shocking reaction from Sebastian, the wolf snarls more bearing more of its teeth. "My goodness, seems like someone didn't quite understand yet." sighs Sebastian catching the wolf's sharp clawed paw with ease. With a single turn of his wrist the wolf gets flipped on its back straight to the wall behind a rather large sofa. Smiling I nod at my husband moving close to his side towards the sofa. A few seconds later as Sebastian and I reach the sofa light grey hair popped out from behind the sofa. "What's going on here?!" Askes the obviously indecent Queen Victoria herself. Sebastian and I's heads instantly turn to the side with bright red flushed cheeks. "Hello me Queen" says Adrian with a blank expiration. "Hello Adrian, Crystal, who are these servants?" asks the Queen with inadaptation. "Latian Michaelis my queen."

We say in unison bowing matching the same stance as we did with Ciel keeping our eyes glued to the plush light purple carpet. "No, their names are Sebastian Michaelis and Lauren Michaelis." says Adrian pointing them out. We continue to keep our servant bows sharing a sideways glance at each other. "Married servants that uncommon." says the Queen with a raised eyebrow coming out from behind the sofa in the mission to find her own servant. Sebastian instantly lowers this his body closer to the carpet almost kissing it to keep from looking at the Queen's situation. Seeing this I stand up tearing off my jacket gently around the Queen's elegant shoulders. The Queen in response almost scolds my actions before looking down upon herself. Her hands embrace my long black trench coat that I "stole" from Sebastian with a grateful look. "Thank you so much..." she whispers with a bright red face. I nod in response bowing my head a little before returning to my spot next to Sebastian. "So? Were you the wolf?" asks Adrian.

Crystal turns around and b*ch slaps him with a loud pop sound ring through the room. "OW!" screams Adrian. "What did I do?!" "You know very well what you did mister" Crystal says sassy "What is it that you mean?" asks the Queen with intrigues. "Uh, if I may my Queen...do you remember anything prior to meeting us?" I ask leaning towards the shaken Queen. "No, I do not. Why do you ask such things?" ask the Queen. "My Queen you were a wolf a tick a go. Do you remember Sebastian glomping you?" asks Crystal. After hearing Crystal's words, the Queen turns toward us with a reclamation. Sebastian instantly falls to one knee keeping his head down from the Queen's gaze. "I apologize entirely my Queen, I had no idea that the wolf was you...please do forgive me..."

The Queen buttoned the last button on my jacket before walking up to the apologetic demon. Taking her hand, she motions him to stand, and in response Sebastian straightens his posture making eye contact with the smaller woman. Once making eye contact the Queen smiles before giving Sebastian a heavy b*tch slap across the face. The three of us stared at the two with shocked faces as the Queen gently grabs Sebastian's chin directing his face towards her "I forgive you my dear..." She says carefully running her fingertips across his now redden cheek. Then turning towards me she places her hand on my left shoulder with a smile. "Now you look after him love...we women must look after each other." I nod in reply "Yes my Queen we do." The Queen's smile grows as her fingers tighten their grip on my sleeve. "Good now come with me, I need to get some new clothes." with that I was leading out by my sleeve after the Queen. I could only manage a quick sorrowful look towards Sebastian who was holding his cheek in shock.
