It'd been only a couple days since Lilith had left the castle and the events with Ebony had enrolled. However, almost instantly, I grew... Frustrated. That frustrated, that mistakes were made.

"What's wrong Black?"
Coyote! Coyote could help me. Finally, I have someone to talk to about this. I can't tell Ebony.. I can't go near her at the minute. For gods sake I'll-
"BLACK." He snapped his fingers in front of my face, running around me with his flash like speed.
"Sorry Coy.. I'm just stressed.. S'all.."
He puffed, "Since when is the coolest empress ever stressed? Jeez."

I ended up telling him all about Lilith, how she was defeated yet... Came back..
That's where I'd gone wrong..
Telling Coyote.

"LILITH?" He shouted "THE LILITH PHANTOMHIVE?"

I had almost forgotten that Phantomhive was her original name for the underworld.

"Yes Coyote.. Lilith."

"She can't come back.. Black you can't let her dethrone you. Black please.. Shit. I need to find a way. If she's back that means someone wanted her back. We're fucked."

He just had to keep on talking. Didn't he?

"What if there's a rebellion against us?"

"What if she's got an army?"

But his last question is what did it..
"What if she kills you?"

"Coy.. I.. I-"
"Black you're her main target- god.. She's killed so many people.. If she comes back into power the underworld will go back to what it was..."
"COYOTE!" I yelled, at this point; paranoia on my shoulders, I shook him by the arms, my eyes dissolving to a soulless obsidian. "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! I SHOULDN'T OF TOLD YOU. YOU KNOW NOTHING OF THE SITUATION."
Without thinking straight, my left arm smashed into the wall aside me, creating a rift upon the ruby red rampart.
"B..B..Black p..please.. do..don't hurt me.." I heard him lament. I blinked hard, my eyes shifting back.
"Shit Coy I'm so sorry!" I held my hand out to him- he flinched back, his back up against the wall.

He feared me.

I almost simultaneously teleported away to my quarters.. Hot, salty tears falling down my face, stealing the mascara and eyeliner along with it, travelling down my face and the tears dripping onto the floor.

I think the main reason I grew so discontented, was the fact that of all people my best friend feared me. I had messed up that royally that he cowered in fear. Maybe a good thing in the old underworld, but not now. I stayed alone for a couple of hours, blocking the door shut with my telekinesis, even though no one even showed up.

Well, I was alone until someone gently knocked upon the door.
"Who is it?" I sniffled, wiping the tears away as quickly as I could.
I heard her soft chuckle "Who do you think it is?"
I let the telekinesis down, and Ebony walked through the frame to see me cuddled up in my duvet, which had now gained charcoal stains of makeup mixed with tears. She quickly closed the door behind her and ran over to me as soon as she saw my face, wrapping me in her arms tightly.
"Baby what's wrong? You haven't cried in so long.."
She stroked my hair, I recoiled at her soft touches, yet she just pulled me closer. I sniffled, pushing my face into the crook of her neck, mumbling,
"It's too much.."
"What is B?" She kissed my temple, slowly caressing my cheek and making me look at her. "I can't help you unless you tell me.."
I sobbed "Why..? Every single time I get happiness, someone ruins it for me.. Then events fall after it." My voice cracked with tears "E-Ebony w-what happens if she tries to h-hurt you? Or steals you a-away?" I blubbered on, "She's going to de-throne and kill me.. I can already sense it.. I can't let the underworld go back to what it was- Eb please I can't.. Just because she visited I cracked the wall and made Coyote scared of me-" she silenced me with a kiss.
"Black calm down.. Breathe.."
"I-I just want her to l-leave.. W-why can't everything stay as it is?"
"Oh baby..." She squeezed me a little- "You know very well in your heart she won't hurt us.. We're too strong." She laced our hands, "Especially together.. Come on.. Let's just relax okay?"
I snaked my one free arm around her tighter "Please never leave me.. I won't know what to do if you do."
"I promise Black.." She pulled my chin up and smiled "I will never leave you.. I love you too much okay?"
"I love you too much.." I mumbled, shuffling closer so I could kiss her, which ended up in me kissing her multiple times, showering her face. She chuckled softly, pushing the duvets aside from my body, and pushing me into my back onto the bed, hovering over me.
"I know you made that punishment an' all.. But I'm needy and you need to relax. Is that okay?"
I nodded, for once submitting to her, letting her do whatever she wanted to me.

Her hands travelled straight to my shoulders, pinning me down so she could attack my neck with love bites. By now, she already knew my sweet spot, and had attacked it numerous times, making my mouth emit whimpers without my command. I tried to move so I could wrap my hands around her, yet she just pushed my arms down.
"No touching me.. Today is all about you okay princess?"
My face flushed pink, and I let my arms fall by my sides, yet, my right leg couldn't help but latch itself to Ebony's waist, a grin forming upon my face.
"Baby.." She mumbled against my skin, gently biting "Don't you dare.."
"Fine.." I paused, "Only if you let me wrap my arms around you.. Pretty please...?"
"You're lucky I love you so much.." She mumbled as she let my arms glide around her neck, pulling her body closer to mine, so that she was practically sitting on my lap.


Needless to say- she definitely helped relieve my stress.
