Amy's POV
-----DREAM!-----
I was walking through the phantom mansion when I saw my parents as well as Ciel.
"Mother? Father? Ciel?" I asked out loud with echo to my voice.
They turned around and suddenly the place was on fire
"You did this. You brought terror to our family. It's because of you that your father and I are dead and why your brother took over as head of the estate at such a youthful age. You monster" Mom told me.
I knew this was a nightmare but it felt real then suddenly I saw a mini me being attacked by a few people. One of them bore a crest of Gehenna and the others just had swords
"AMY!" Someone shouted but their voice had an echo like mine
"EV! Where are you?!" I called out realizing it was one of my friends Evamy. The Wolf of Dreams then she appeared to me.
"I'm right here. So what's wrong? Normally dreams like this are brought on by traumatic memories" Evamy asked me when she sat me down next to her in the dream realm
I told her everything that happened two months ago and showed her my left arm
"Sheesh. You have had it rough. Well, I'm not saying that this nightmare is a one-off because frankly it probably won't be...but don't let it get to you. My boyfriend Alex and I will always be here to give you support through this. Same to everyone in the shadow clan so relax and enjoy the calm dream I replaced the nightmare with" Evamy explained
"Thanks Ev. Maybe eventually I can move past this but as long as I hold the great times close, I should be decent with the nightmares right?"
"Something like that. I should head on, the clan is pretty busy lately and I need to report back to my bosses. I'll speak to you later" then she simply vanished.
I guess she has a lot of dreams to manage with Alex." I mumbled then saw a knife come right at me and hit me right in the heart
-----End of Dream!-----
I shot up panting and sweating from that nightmare.
How pale am I?!
I turned my head to look at my clock
5 am huh? May as well do some early morning training
But when I turned around, I saw...Fenrir?! What the heaven is he doing here and why is he in wolf form snuggled up to me? Not complaining like, but I am confused
I just got out of bed and changed into something that can hide my robotic arm
(WITHOUT the hat) I remember the day AB gave me this...been what a year since I started training
I walked through the hallways but I am jumpy due to the nightmare...
Something gives me a sinking feeling I've been asleep longer than just a night...but why do I think that?
I got to my study and got to work when I saw Ash outside putting a letter in the mail so I teleported the post to my desk
It was for the Guard Phoenix so me.
Naturally I opened it because...just yeah.
My dear Phoenix,
First off it's great to hear you are awake again Amy. Now onto the mission. I want you and Ciel to investigate a series of murdered women. My intelligence says the killer goes by the name "Jack the Ripper" please put my mind to ease and sort out this mess.
-Victoria
Wow. So...I wake up after two months with a robot arm and some lunatic is killing women?! WHY!
I left my study to get my weapons when I felt light-headed so I sat on a window ledge to catch my bearings. At this point I saw the sun coming up outside
Ciel will be getting woke up soon by that Sebastian fellow but something tells me Sebastian is a demon. Amybrine straight up called him that so he could be or that's just a nickname she made up for him since his hair is raven black and his speed is as fast as AB who IS a demon.
Never the less I stood on the balcony in Ciel's office to watch the sun rise as my hair blew in the calm morning breeze.
I do have gloves on to conceal my arm.
I checked his schedule and we match. Just guest but I might head into town to get info on Jack the ripper for her majesty.
"Ah Good Morning Young Mistress" Sebastian stated when he and Ciel arrived at about 8 am
"Sebastian. I want you to tell me something and don't lie." I stated
"Hm? What would that be my lady?" he asked me
"Are you a demon? An actual demon like Amybrine said?" I asked him as I stared at him with my dull emotionless eyes
"Sebastian you may answer it. Amy won't rest until she gets the truth" Ciel whispered
"Yes my lady. I am a demon. Contracted to the earl Phantomhive to find his parent's killers" Sebastian told me.
"I need to go soon. None of this would have happened to the family if I was not here....that and we have a mission from the queen" then I gave Ciel the letter when he sat in his chair and I sat opposite from him
"Amy what happened to you all is not your fault. Why would you think that?" Someone asked when they came in.
I turned round and saw Fenrir leaning against the door frame.
"I'm not sure Wolfy." Then I explained everything in the nightmare which horrified him so much he came over, sat on the lounger with me and held me close.
I felt his hands on my ears as well
"Don't let it get to you. You have your family, friends, me and everyone who loves you. Now I need to get back to the wolf tribe since I astral projected again but promise me to stay strong. Even for me. Oh! Before I forget my family chose my fiancé." Fenrir explained
"Who is it?" Ciel asked.
"Amy. It's you" WHA?! How red has my face went.
"They see how well we get along and it will bring about something we both want so yeah. Amy is my betrothed now." Then just as Fenrir was about to vanish I grabbed his spirit
"Promise me something" I asked
"Anything"
"You come visit me in person sometime. I miss you" and for a reply I got a kiss on the forehead before he vanished
