The all knowing

Chapter Eleven

Shelby's p.o.v

I slowly open my eyes and look at the roof, it was a light grey but there were cobwebs all around the corners. Great waking up in an unfamiliar place once again, I got to sit up but a sharp pain shot through my stomach, making me want to throw up, I stop myself from doing so and carefully lie down, I look at my clothes and notice that I had been changed into the undertaker's robes. Is that where I am? I blush at the thought of him seeing me without clothes, god I hope he didn't do anything the pervert. I go to call out for someone but am stopped by the immense dryness in my throat making me burst into a fit of coughing. Footsteps could be heard coming towards the door at a hurried pace, the door opens to revel undertaker, sporting his usual grin, he held a cup of water and a jug and came and placed the on the bed side table before helping me sit up, I noticed that my injured wing was on display and cringed at the slight pain

"Be careful, you're still very much hurt" He hands me the full glass after making sure I was sitting up comfortably. I took it and drank it as fast as I could and once it was empty he refilled it and watched as I drank that up before placing it on the night stand beside me. The events from last night came flooding back, how Sebastian and I were ambushed, how I fought a few off to the best to my ability and that I called for undertaker before I blacked out

"How long have I been out for?" I asked, running my fingers through my knotted hair while turning to face undertaker

"Almost two days now" He chuckled

"Two days! oh god, Ciel will be furious at me! and what happened to Sebastian!" I say hurriedly, my brows furrowed in worry thinking about if Sebastian got hurt or not, I tried standing up but was gently pushed down by undertaker

"Don't worry, he knows you're here and Sebastian is completely fine, nothing he can't handle" He smiled "You should be more worried about yourself"

I relax back into the bed before looking at undertaker with a smile

"Thank you for coming, it would have been the end of me if you didn't" I say frowning at the thought of the creatures who almost killed me

"There was something weird about those . . . things that night" I mumbled, undertakers smile disappears and was replaced with a frown

"I noticed it to, I'm sure Sebastian also noticed. Too strong to be human and too weak to be supernatural" He says lowly

"When I was fighting one of them, it's eyes shined like Sebastian's, they were pure white, they almost looked like fake demons" I explain with furrowed eyes, undertaker looked as if he was deep in thought

"It sounds like man made demons" Undertaker whispers, my eyes widen at his words, man made demons! that has to be it, that would explain the experiment the letter was talking about. I have to tell Ciel

"I know what you're thinking, love and you can as soon as you answer some questions of mine first" He smiles sinisterly, my eyes widen at his words as I hesitantly nod, how'd he know? What is he going to ask?

"First off I'd like it if you explained exactly how you know that I'm a reaper, I went to great lengths to hide my true identity and you just happen to know, how?" I ponder on his words for a few moments. I could tell him but there's the chance he won't believe me, to be fair he is a bit coo-coo in the head, maybe if I get Ciel and Sebastian here they can explain as well

"If I tell you, you have to promise to be open minded because it sounds absolutely insane" I say seriously, I grab his hands in mine and stare him in the eyes, well bangs to be exact, he tensed at my touch but relaxed after a moment and gripped my hands "Promise me undertaker"

He was silent, which made me worry but the feeling was quickly replaced by shock as he brings his face close to mine, he was only inches away making me blush a deep red I knew he'd notice, a few strands from his bangs moved as he did, showing the tiniest spec of emerald green

"I'm the king of insane, my dear" He says quietly with a grin on his face. I could feel his warm breathe brush against my face

"o-okay" I stuttered, and at that point I began to tell him everything, from how everyone's life was a television show and explaining what a television was. I told him how I woke up in Ciel's bed and that the first time after meeting at undertakers shop, I also met grell and my wings sprouted. I told him everything and he sat and listened intently, not once interrupting me but the thing that got him, was when I mentioned his mourning lockets. How I knew that one of them was for Claudia Phantomhive, Vincent Phantomhive's mother

"I don't expect you to believe me but it's the truth, Sebastian and Ciel know so too" I say while playing with my fingers in my lap, he stayed silent which scared me, he's not a quiet person so this kind of put me on edge, what were his thoughts? did he not like me anymore?

"Do you have a bathroom I could use?" Maybe I could give him a moment to think while I do my business. He says nothing but nods before coming to help me up, I put legs over the bed and grab onto undertakers outstretched hand, I slowly stand up and walk to the door, my legs were aching but other than that I didn't feel much pain, even from my injuries, it was more of just an aching feeling, everything was achy. He leads me out of the room and to the door across the hall, I let go of his hand and walk in after saying a quick thank you

It had a toilet, sink and a bathtub, it was actually really clean to my surprise there was even a mirror above the sink, I walk over to it and look at my reflection and notice how clean my face was, I guess undertaker washed it while I was passed out. I noticed my roots turning black due to the lack of hair dye, I'll have to sort that out at some point, out of curiosity, I pull my robe up and look at the bandage wraps around my abdomen. I hesitantly pull it off and see a cloth covering the injury. I pulled it off and look at the stab wound, my eyes widen in shock and I drop the cloth to the ground

"What the hell!" I screamed, it was impossible, maybe undertaker did some reaper stuff to it or something. What used to be a hole in my side was now nothing but a large scar

"What's the matter?" I heard undertakers muffled voice from behind the closed door, I quickly look around to find something to cover my lower half due to the fact that I was wearing nothing but panties, a bra and his robe

"I'm coming in" I jumped into the bathtub and cover my lower parts with the shower curtain just as undertaker burst through the door with a worried look, he see's me and sighs

"What are you doing, dear?" I lift the robe to show him the scar while still making sure my parts are covered. He smiled brightly at it and he rushes over to me, he bends down so he was at eye level with the scar, he lifts hands and lightly runs his long and slender fingers over it, his long, black nails grazing the skin above. Goosebumps erupted all over my body at his gentle touch

"Fascinating" He whispers, before looking up at me with a grin, I blush at the angle we're at and try to pull the robe down but his free hand grabs mine, stopping it from moving

"Did you do something to it, you know, to make it heal faster or something?" I asked, He just chuckles at my words

" I can assure you I didn't, there's nothing strong enough to heal the wound you had dear, even in the reaper realm"
