The Demons Assassin (Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji Fanfic)

Ch 18- Which Witch Was Which?

((Alright, I know I said this would be the last chapter, but I realized there was too much to fit into one. So, please enjoy this and the next chapter to come, which WILL be the last.))

Luna stared at the Queen in confusion and shock. "W... Work for you?"

"Yes," Victoria replied, almost sounding excited by the idea. "If you come and work for me, you will not only be supporting your country, but you will also be taught how to properly use your magic."

"I... I still... Lord Phantomhive-," she stammered, her throat dry and thoughts jumbled.

"Think about it, Luna," Ash smiled at her as he kneeled down next to her and took her hand in both of his. "I could show you how to wield that beautiful power you hold. We spend countless hours of the day together. You would never lonely. We could be together again." He brought her gloved knuckles to his lips and gently kissed them. His smile suddenly fell and he yanked her glove off.

"Ash! Let me go!" she demanded as she tried to pull her hand out of his grasp, but to no avail. He sniffed her skin, his amethyst eyes darkening.

"Your hands smell foul, Luna," Ash said as he looked up at her, his brows knitting in anger and his lips pressed in a hard line. "What have you been doing with them?"

She remembered the previous night when her fingers had run through Sebastians hair and her hands had roamed his perfectly sculpted body.

She stood from her seat, still trying to pry her arm from Ash's grip, but he stood with her, one hand at her wrist and the other at her elbow.

"You gave yourself to that monster, did you not!?" Ash asked, his voice harsh and almost sounding rejected. "You were supposed to save yourself! You were supposed to stay pure! You let him soil you! You are tainted! You-!"

"Ash," Victoria said softly, immediately catching his attention. He followed her 'gaze' back to Lunas face.

Ash's eyes widened then softened when he noticed the tears streaming down her face. "I am so sorry." He pulled her into his arms and held her close.

She could not help but feel safe in Ash's arms. This was the man who had comforted her as a child and held her when she cried. She wrapped her arms around his waist and gripped the back off his coat.

"Do you not see the extent of your power?" Victoria asked, making Luna turn back in question.

She looked around the small café, just now realizing that everyone was frozen in place. One woman was holding a fork halfway up to her child who was eagerly waiting for the bite of cake. One man was holding a paint brush up toward the Eiffel tower as if he were trying to split it in half while staring down at his sketch pad. "I... I did not..."

"Oh, but you did, Luna," Victoria said as she reached up and pulled back her veil, watching as Lunas eyes widened at the sight. A smile spread across her face. "You will make a wonderful asset to your country."

"Hold still, love," Ash whispered in her ear. She tried to push away, but it was too late. He injected a needle into her spine and pressed down on the plunger. She immediately felt numb and all of her limbs became immobile. "Good night, my Heavenly maiden."

That was the last thing she heard before she passed out.

Mey Rin rushed to the door as another impatient knock resounded through the hall. She pulled the heavy wood open and looked outside. "Yes? May I help you?"

On the other side of the door stood Earl Charles Gray, Charles Phipps, and John Brown. ((If everyone remembers, I introduced Charles Gray during the The Sound of Music OVA.))
