Ciel Phantomhive sat at his desk and inwardly sighed as Sebastian handed him an important letter with a red wax seal. "Who is it from?" The young earl asked as he leaned his head on his tight closed hand and looked at the letter with the other one. He ran his thumb over the wax seal, feeling the roughness where the sender's ring or crest was pressed into the once hot wax.
"It's from the Midford estate." Sebastian whispered, his mouth was right next to Ciel's ear as his warm breath caressed the young earl's ear.
"Oh?" Ciel questioned as he grabbed his shimmering silver letter opener and broke the wax seal, chips of wax broke off and landed on the cherry-wooded desk, but Sebastian quickly swept his hand under the desk slightly and swept the mess into the gloved hand. Ciel sighed as he softly read the letter to himself and Sebastian.
"Dear Earl of Phantomhive,
You are invited to attend the Halloween ball hosted by Lady Elizabeth Midford. Please wear a costume as this is a costume ball.
Sincerely,
The Midford servants. "
Ciel groaned as if he were annoyed with the letter he'd received and dropped the letter down on his desk and grabbed his forehead. He tried very hard to block out the thoughts of what could go wrong at a party like that.
"Well Halloween is right around the corner, young master." Sebastian inquired, as he dumped his dirty hand into the trash bin, the wax fell onto some unneeded strips of paper.
"What is...Halloween?" Ciel looked up, his mind was quite curious as to what the holiday was. Sebastian smiled as he bowed to his master.
"Halloween is that special time of year where you threaten someone for candy and they give it to you!" A shimmering, background appeared around the butler and Ciel turned his cheek to the semi-bare trees outside as he lost interest in what Sebastian was saying.
The leaves on the trees had turned and weren't the vibrant green they normally were, no they were now bright crimson-red and bright marmalade orange and sunshine yellow. Ciel sighed and thought about going, he knew he needed to support Elizabeth, since she was his fiancé, but he just didn't know what he'd go as.
Sebastian turned Ciel's office chair around and looked at him. He took his gloved finger and traced it around Ciel's pink lips before licking his finger. "W-What the bloody hell are you doing!?" Ciel freaked out, a bright crimson blush caressed his cheek as he placed his hands on Sebastian's toned chest. "You had some custard on your lips." Sebastian whispered with a smile.
"S-so?!" Ciel asked as he bit his lower lip, trying to control his emotions.
"I can't let my young master walk around the manor with custard on his face, what kind of butler would that make me?" Sebastian snickered as Ciel simply rolled his eyes. "About a costume, I need you to make one, I'd prefer a military man." Ciel muttered under his breath and then sighed when he saw Sebastian exiting the study and walking down the hall.
"Come on, Paula!" Elizabeth shouted as she walked into an old brick building that seemed to be crumbling to bits.
"I'm coming, Lady Elizabeth!" Paula shouted back as she hurried to her young lady's side, her corset was a bit too tight to run and managed an uncomfortable hurried walk. She puffed in what little amount of air she could muster and grabbed the ivy-green door and opened it and walked in behind Elizabeth. Paula looked at the small golden watch she wore on her dainty wrist and read the time.
It was 6:45 in the afternoon and the sun had finally set. "Hello?" Elizabeth whispered under her breath as she walked into a small shop, dust covered everything and it was dark as the night.
Elizabeth and Paula roughly swallowed and took a deep breath. "Maybe they're closed..." Paula whispered as she desired to leave the creepy and dusty shop. The floorboards creaked under Elizabeth's teal-colored heels as she walked up to a mannequin, the tall headless mannequin was dressed in a dazzling black gown that reached the floor, it had a silky texture to it, but the lace covering the skirt looked like spider webs.
"This is it!" Elizabeth cheered before two golden-yellow eyes flashed open in the darkness. Elizabeth looked up and screamed.
"Ahhhh!" Paula freaked out and ran out of the shop as fast as her two legs and fastened corset would take her.
"Wh-Who are you?" Elizabeth asked as she saw a woman, who seemed to be no older than twenty walk towards her, her black pointy heels clicked on the floor as she forced Elizabeth up against a desk or dresser, the young couldn't tell which one it was.
"Darcy Appleseed, now you need to answer one of my questions. Why are you in my home?" Darcy asked as she pulled back her sleek and dangerously dark black hair, exposing a spider web tattoo on her neck she sadistically smiled at Elizabeth as the young girl cowered in fear.
"I-I need a costume for my party...and would like for you to make me a dress." Elizabeth whispered, her tone shaken and her body paralyzed in fear. Darcy nodded.
"Alright, but there is something I want." She grabbed Elizabeth's chin with her fingers and planted a soft kiss on her lips.
Elizabeth didn't kiss the woman back, but her lips tingled as Darcy planted the sweet and simple kiss on her. "I'll come to you, my faithful new servant.'' Darcy snapped her fingers and a few seconds later Elizabeth passed out and fell down onto the dusty and dirty wooden floor. Darcy leaned down and brushed Elizabeth's long golden curls out-of-the-way before she opened her mouth and leaned closer to Elizabeth's neck. Two small, pearly white fangs extracted and Darcy bit down, drawing out Elizabeth's blood as she sucked on the virgin's blood. "Little girls taste so good..." Darcy whispered with a smirk when she pulled away, a sadistic grin spread across her features. She clapped her hands and two small, but strong bats appeared.
"Blood and Sucker, take this girl home, the last thing I need is someone coming after me. She's a noble, after all." Darcy whispered and like the faithful servants the bats were they picked Elizabeth up by the sleeves of her dress and carried her away, back home where they put her in her bed while their master, Darcy, thought up a plan.
She flicked her finger over to a piano and the lid covering the white and black keys suddenly pulled back, she snapped her fingers twice and quickly and upbeat melody began to play. "That's the spirit." She lowly whispered as she clapped her hands once and a few seconds later a large rolled tube of black lace material, scissors, pins, needles and then thread began flying. The vampire softly laughed as she twirled her fingers. The scissors cut the cobwebbed lace material and the needle and thread stitched it all together. She brought her index and middle finger together so the scissors cut the extra thread at the bottom of the skirt she'd just made. She then smiled as she spun around and lifted her hands to the ceiling; a smaller roll of velvet in a dark, red-wine color lifted itself up and began unraveling. "This is for my new servant and possibly my new lover, so better make this good." Darcy sighed as she made the dress part of the outfit and set the dress up on a spare mannequin, the red velvet went first and then the lace skirt went over the red, long-sleeved dress. She couldn't help but smile at the success she'd had. She drew small circles in the air and quickly the black thread and silver needle began to stitch the two skirts together. She happily grinned and looked out one of the boarded up windows. "It's about one, I've still got some time." She whispered.
"I'll call for her tomorrow night, when I'm done." She whispered to herself as she walked over to her display case and grabbed a large book; she placed it on the dresser and smiled as she opened to a bookmarked section.
"To control a human…say these words: Cu puterea mea, eu vă poruncesc, fetita, păziți poruncile Mele toată lumea. Și stau cu sufletul meu pentru totdeauna." She whispered the words and quickly grabbed a red ruby ring with several smaller canary-yellow sapphires on the side of it. Darcy then concentrated deeply as she cursed the ring.
"With this ring she'll follow my every order." Darcy smiled sickly as she looked at the completed outfit and felt accomplished. "It is now time for me to feed like the monster I am." Darcy walked out of the shop and into the night's air, quickly disappearing into a local forest where all the people know where the creatures lurk.
(Author's note! Hiya, hope you liked the chapter. I'd love to know what you thought. I know this is a yuri-ish story and if you don't like it then don't read it. This is a multichapter fic that I hope to finish by Halloween)
