Creature Of A Broken Past (Undertaker x Reader)

Chapter 30: Phantomhive Gardens

We make it to the Phantomhive Manor, and Undertaker helps me down as I of course sat in front with him. Walking up to the door, Sebastian opens it up immediately before we even had a chance to knock.

“Amora, Undertaker? It’s a surprise seeing you here so early in the morning, is everything okay?” He questions. “Everything is going quite well, actually. We’re here so I can speak with Ciel, is he up?” I asked.

“Not at the moment, I was just going to wake him up-”

“Let me go then, it’s important.” I say as I interrupt him. Grabbing hold of Undertaker’s hand, I push past him as we enter through the door. Once we were both inside, I let go and start running up the stairs.

“Amora, wait!” I hear Sebastian say, but I ignored him and quickly made my way to Ciel’s room.

Opening his door, I close it just a little and walk over to him. “Ciel, wake up, I need to talk to you!” I say as I carefully shake his arm. He wakes up and immediately holds a gun up to my head in a panic.

My eyes widen, as my little brother was firmly holding a damn gun to my forehead, with his finger on the trigger!

“Ciel, are you crazy?! It’s me, your sister!!” I yell out, and he shakily drops the gun. “Amora... I should be asking the same thing to you! What the devil are you doing in here?!” He demands as he calms himself down.

“I came here because I needed to talk to you! What are you doing with a damn gun for?! You almost shot me!” I again yell out. “For protection, Amora! People are after me too, it’s not just you!” He yells.

All the rage in me was making me speechless. There is so much I want to say to him, but I couldn’t get any of them out.

“Just get up and get dressed! Meet me in the damn drawing room!” I say as I begin leaving the room. “Tell Sebastian to get in here, now!” I hear him yell as I slam his door shut.

I turn to find Sebastian, and I already seen him walking my way with Undertaker following behind. “Amora, is everything okay?!” Undertaker asks worriedly.

“Just peachy! Sebastian, my brother would like to see you, now! I told him to meet me in the drawing room once he’s dressed!” I retort, and I storm off towards the room.

“Amora!” Undertaker yells out, but I wasn’t in the mood to speak right now. Making it to the room, I quickly open the door and go to sit down.

I hear the door closing, and I bring my hands up to my face as I begin to rub the bridge of my nose. “Dearie, what happened in there?” He tries asking sweetly. He takes a seat next to me and gently rubs my back. “It’s nothing you need to concern yourself with.”

“Amora-”

“Please, okay?! Let me be the one pissed off at him! If I tell you what happened... I can only imagine what you would do to him. I don’t want that. He is still my brother and I still want him to attend our wedding!”

He was silent for a moment before speaking up again. “Love, look at me.” I hesitate to listen, but do so anyway. As I turn to look at him, he pulls me into him and wraps his arms around me and looks into my eyes. He had moved his hair just slightly, enough for me to see his as well.

“Sweetheart, we are getting married, are we not?” He asks sweetly as he takes my hand. “Of course we are!” I answered. “If there is one thing I want, I want both of us to be completely honest with each other, no matter what. If there’s something bothering you, or anything happens to you, I want you to tell me. And I’ll do the same thing for you.” He says, just loud enough for the two of us to hear.

“I just don’t want you getting or being on bad terms with him.” I nervously say. “I know how much this means to you, my love. I promise I won’t do anything you won’t approve of, alright? I love you.” He then leans down and gives me a gentle kiss.

“I love you too.” I say as he breaks the kiss. “Will you please tell me?” He asks, still only inches away from me as he looks back into my eyes. I then take in a deep breath.

“Okay... When I went to wake him up, he woke in a panic. I never would have thought he’d sleep with a gun under his pillow. So when he woke up, he immediately grabbed it and... Held it to my forehead, with his finger on the trigger.” I admit, very quietly.

He quickly looks away, and I can tell he was ready to stand up. He then brings his hand up to his face as well. My eyes were starting to water, and he looks back over to me.

When he notices my expression his face softens, and he lets out a sigh. “I guess you did warn me... I gave you a promise, and I’m going to keep it. I’m so sorry, baby. Even though it wouldn’t have killed you, it would still break me. And we would have to answer to them how you wouldn’t have died.” He says as he wipes away the tear that did manage to escape.

“So you’re not going to do or say anything to him?” I asked hopefully, and he laughs. “Oh I’m not going to promise I won’t say anything about it, but I promise I won’t do anything to him.” Bringing his hand behind my head, he kisses my forehead before leaning his onto mine. I then bring my hand below his ear, and I kiss him lovingly.

“I love you, Amora.” He says once we pull away. “I love you too.” As we sit back, he leans his head against mine and takes my hand. Another minute goes by before he moves his hair back over his eyes. Taking my hand again, Ciel walks through the door and takes a seat.

“Amora, I want to apologize to you. This certainly wasn’t how I had imagined or even how I wanted the morning to start. With that said, I never would have expected you to visit so early in the morning. I do hope everything is going well with you two... Though by the looks of it, you seem to be doing just fine.” He says as he looks between Undertaker and I.

“We do want to start off by saying we apologize for this... Inconvenience we’ve caused so far.” Undertaker starts off. “No, it wasn’t an inconvenience at all, just... Surprising.” Ciel answers.

“My Lord, you are aware about Amora and I’s recent engagement. We have both come to a decision on when we would like to have our wedding. With that said, we would love it if you could attend.”

“Oh? When are you planning to get married?” Ciel questions. “A week from today, October 29th.” I answered, and he gives a shocked expression. Just then Sebastian walks in with a cart with the tea and cups. He pours the tea and hands us each a cup.

“A week from... Why so soon?” His eyes (or eye) then widens as he says that. “W-what I meant was, are you sure you can have everything planned by then? Amora-”

“I know what I wanted as a child. Of course at the time I believed I was... marrying Edward, I knew everything would be set. But everything is different now! I’m marrying someone I truly love, and I don’t care about anything else.” He leans back in his chair as he holds his tea, just staring at me. “I’m not having it.”

“Ciel-”

“You may not be marrying who you were supposed to marry, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have the wedding you always wanted! Amora, you are my sister. The only other member of our immediate family that I have left! I want you to be happy, even if it means I have to deal with Undertaker being my new brother-in-law.” He then shutters at the thought, causing us to laugh. “Here’s the deal. I will help cover any expenses-”

“No!” We both interrupted. “Ciel, you have already bought me tailored dresses, to which I ended up throwing out 2 of them. I already feel bad enough about that, there is no way I’m allowing you to pay for our wedding! I do not care if it’s extravagant or not, all that matters to me is that I get to spend the rest of my life with him! I do not care-”

“Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t! How do you think mom and dad would react to this if they were here?? I know they would be happy for you two, as close as father was to Undertaker he would be saying the same as I am!”

Just thinking about our parents not being here, started to break my heart. My father was supposed to give me away... And that won’t be happening anymore.

I tried looking away to hide the fact that I was fighting to hold back tears, but I felt myself going to break at any second. “I’m sorry.” I quickly say as I get up. I quickly leave the room to go outside. “Amora!” I hear them both say, and I run even faster.

Running down the stairs, I quickly run outside and to the gardens. Growing up, anytime I was upset I would always run to the gardens. Something about the area always calmed me down.

Running through the entrance, I immediately feel myself being pulled. “Baby, it’s okay!” I heard Undertaker say as he pulls me into him. I broke down right then and there as I wrap my arms around his waist.

Holding on to me tighter, he brings his hand behind my head as he rests his head over mine. “It’s going to be alright, my love, I promise. We’ll get through this together.” I squeeze onto him as well, as I cry into his chest.

I wanted nothing more than to scream out at the top of my lungs, but I didn’t want to worry him too much. “I love you so much, dearie. Please, please calm down for me.” He begs, and I can tell he was fighting back his emotions as well. “I-I’m so s-sorry!”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about, my dear. It’s okay, I understand.” He tries saying soothingly. “He w-was supposed to walk me down the aisle-”

“I know, baby, I know.” He says quietly as he runs his fingers through my hair. After a few moments, he picks me up bridal style and carries me over to the center of the garden.

As he stops, he kneels down and sets me down in front of him. I look around as he continues to play with my hair. This was the spot I always went to. The one I found peace in. I close my eyes and take in deep breaths as I felt him brushing his fingers through my hair again.

After maybe a half an hour, I sense him leaning over to the side for a moment before placing something in my hair. Opening my eyes, I look over at him, and he was placing my favorite flower behind my ear, making me smile at him. He then returns it as he leans me into him.

“You are so beautiful, Amora. How are you feeling?” He asks sweetly. “Better, thank you for this.” I answered. “Of course, my love. I know this was always your favorite place to go to when you were upset, I haven’t forgotten.” He whispers into my ear. He rests his hands onto my lap as he takes hold of mine.

“I remember the first time you became upset while I was visiting. You were tired of feeling left in the dark as your brothers learned everything they knew from your father. I had found you out here all alone.” He explains softly as we look down at my ring.

“You told me how it made you feel, and that was when you told me about this spot...... Even back then, I still never liked seeing you upset. Being so used to seeing you smile and laugh all the time, I didn’t like it when you weren’t.” I continued to stay quiet as I remembered everything from that day.

“Wanting to cheer you up, I told you everything you wanted to know about the duties of the watchdog. Even though I wasn’t supposed to.” He then places a kiss below my ear.

“Second time you were upset, let’s see.... Ah yes, it was your 9th birthday. Your brothers did something to you, but that I don’t remember.” He says as he gives out a small chuckle, and I do as well.

“Something that was so stupid. I would prefer not to remember that one.” I answered. “Those were the only two times I’ve found you here, unless there were others I am forgetting?”

“I don’t believe so. I’m surprised you even remember those, because I sure didn’t until you mentioned them.” We both laugh.

“Love, you have always been a delight to my life. Even though our relationship evolved beyond what it used to be, I’ll always have treasured memories stored into my memory with all of my loved ones.”

We continued to sit on the ground for a while, admiring everything around us. I’m currently sitting between his legs, and he has his head laying over my shoulder.

“I suppose we better go back inside. I’m sure Ciel is a little worried.” I say after a while. He lets go to stand up, and he helps me up as well. He then places his hands to my hips as he leans down to kiss me.

“I love you, dearie. Are you sure you’re ready to go in?” He asks as he fixes the flower behind my ear. I give him a smile. “I love you too, and I am, thank you.”

“Of course, my love.” He says as he gives me one more kiss. He then takes my hand and we head back inside.

“Amora, I’m sorry. I never intended to hurt you-” Ciel begins to say as soon as he sees us, but I cut him off. “It’s fine, really. I’m the one who’s sorry for running off like that.”

“Breakfast is ready, please join me?” He asks as he looks between Undertaker and I. “We’ll be happy to.” Undertaker answers as he looks down at me and smiles. We then make our way to the dining room and take our seats, and Sebastian pours us each another cup of tea.

“So have you two decided on where you want to hold your ceremony?” He asks, and I look over at Undertaker, and he looks at me as well. “We actually have not yet-”

“Though I do have a particular place in mind.” Undertaker interrupts. “Y-you do?” I asked, a little surprised. “I do, but it’s just an idea. It’ll be a bit of a drive, but it’s... Secluded, a nice little scenery.”

“Where is that?” I questioned. “Temple Island, Henley-on-Thames. It’s just this tiny little island within the river, but it would make for a romantic riverside venue.” He smiles as he continues to look at me.

“That’s certainly interesting. Why don’t we check it out within the next day or so, and you can decide together if it’s something you really want.” Ciel adds.

“Well, the sooner we get things figured out, the more time we have to set everything up and get what we need, and invite everyone we would like to attend within a respectable amount of time. When are you available to join in?” I asked.

“If you want to get that over with as soon as possible, how about after breakfast? Will that work?” I again look at Undertaker, and he gives his answer.

“I don’t see why not? Are you up for it?” He asks me. “Yeah, let’s do it!” I answer excitedly. “Then it’s settled! Sebastian, go ahead and get the carriage ready. We’ll leave as soon as we are done here.”

“Very well, my lord.” Sebastian answers, and he leaves the room. We quickly finish our breakfast and head out, and Tanaka and Bardroy came in to clean everything up.
