When You Fall For a Demon

When a Storm Rolls In

[Wow, this is moving right along. I don't have a song today. Sorry. By the way, I would like to give a shout out to jenny, who has helped me figure out how to develop the 'Storm' storyline. Please feel free to comment on anything you would like to add or happen. I am still very new to this :) By the way the girl in the pic will be Storm, ok.]

You sat on your bed, hugging yourself, trying to process what you had finally come to realize. In an almost zombie like trance you changed into a simply made, plain dark (favoritecolor) dress. Fixing your hair into a decent bun, you noticed a dark figure outside moving in the corner of your eye. When you looked out the window you saw a very upset Sebastian walking briskly to the woods. You watched as he disappeared from your sight. Your knees soon buckled from under you and you fell to the ground, landing hard on your elbow and hip.

Groaning you pulled yourself to your feet. You grabbed your purse and a coal gray, knitted shawl and wrapped it around yourself before walking into the deserted hallway and towards the stairs. The creaking of the wood could be heard as you desended the stairs and exited the building. You knew you wouldn't be able to sleep, not now. Decieding to calm yourself and maybe even learn a thing or two while you were on your own time, you walked to the nearest book store. A rather fragile looking old man appeared to be locking up the store.

"Wait!", you called to the man as he fumbled with his keys.

"Hm?", he looked up from the lock. You ran to meet the man as fast as possible, nearly falling along the way.

"I- I need to know if you have any books on demons", you say catching your breath. He looks up at you, and something about his eyes remind you of Tanaka on a good day.

"The store is closed, miss.", he said appologetically. Your face fell.

"Please sir. It's really important. I would come any other time if I could, but I barely have the time now.", you begged.

"Oh, alright. I will get the books and you can quickly decide if you want them.", he relented. You thanked him as he led you into the store. You waited patiently as he reapeared with a stack of four books. You looked them over. Two were in languages you couldn't understand, one was the Holy Bible, and the last one was a rather old book on Angels and Demons. You went ahead and got the bible, seeing as you had never had one, and got the other book as well.

"If I may ask, why books on demons, miss?", he asked as you paid him. You looked down.

"Well to be honest, I believe I have come in contact with one.", you replied. It wasn't a total lie, but it wasn't the whole truth either. The man froze for a moment, eyes wide with shock.

"Come in contact with a demon!?", the man cried," Oh, heavens, you poor girl!" You watched as he quickly fumbled around in a drawer before pulling out a long necklace with a medium sized cross hanging from it. He draped it around your neck, still in shock from what you had said.

"Now don't you t-take that off, miss!", he said shakily. Slightly nervous, you nodded.

"Ok, I won't.", you promised quietly as the man ushered you out of the store.

You walked past the gates and into Phantomhive property. You clutched the books to your chest and entered the manor. You shakily began up the stairs, but were quickly interupted.

"I don't have time for this. I have other matters to attend to that are far more important than your little game.", Sebastian said as he barged through the doors. Your were confused at first, thinking he had been talking to you, but soon saw a skinny redhead following behind him. She was dressed in all black. She wore a corset that tied around her neck, leather short shorts, leather fingerless gloves, and leather, over the knee boots. There was a knife sheathed on her arm, a gun at her waist, and a very large gun propped against her pale shoulder. She sauntered into the room as if she owned it, a smirk pulled against her lips, and an evil gleam shone in her blood red eyes. You took a step away from her, hoping she would look past you.

"Oh, Joseph, I know you used to be more fun than that!",she said mockingly. Joseph? Who was she talking to? Sebastian turned to face the strange guest.

"Get out.", he growled.

"Ooo, fiesty! I love it!", she paused to look around the room,"Hm, got to say, this is pretty impressive. So, where's my room going to be?" She propped the gun against the banister and placed her hands on her hips. Sebastian just sneared. You noticed her smirk fade and a questioning look pass over her face. You watched as she breathed in deeply, her eyes turning pink. She set her gaze on you, and smiled a little too nicely.

"Hello. Who might you be? I hate to intrude, but I am very hungry, would you possibly mind if I had some dinner?", she said, taking a step towards you. You back up the stairs in an attempt to get away from her. Lucky for you, Sebastian took over the situation.

"Storm, you are not to harm anyone in this household. I will put an end to you.", he said stepping inbetween Storm and yourself. She rolled her eyes.

"Ugh! I'm Starving!", she whined like a young child.

"Then go. I don't care what you do outside of this residence as long as it does not affect me.", he said dismissing her.

"You're forgetting something!", she said in a sing-song voice," I'm the one who helped you and you owe me." Sebastian froze, anger practically radiated from him.

"That debt was paid long ago.", he said, his voice steely calm.

"Sebastian!", the sound of the Young Master made everyone jump. He stood at the top of the stairs, still in his night shirt, and a robe tied around him.

"Young Master, what are you doing out of bed?", Sebastian asked bowing slightly.

"How can anyone sleep with all this noise?", he turned his attention to storm,"Who is she? We aren't supposed to have any guests."

"I apologize for the noise, my lord. As for her, that is just a pest I was getting rid of."

"No. I wish to speak to her. I'm awake now, so there's no point in going back to bed. I will be in my room. (yourname).", he said as he nodded to agnoledge your presence, before climbing up the stairs.

"(yourname), would you prepare the young master's tea for the morning?", Sebastian asked. You nodded and scurried off to do so.

[Ugh. I'm brain dead. Anyway, now (you) have met Storm. Have a nice day/night :)]
