Chapter 3: Invitations
Black butler does not belong to me in any way. Same thing goes for the song it doesn't belong to me in any way.
Angelique is my Character.
"Sebastian, where is Angelique?" Ciel asked as he noticed her missing among his study.
"I am uncertain. She ran off, when I found her," Sebastian replied.
A soft knock was her heard at the door be fore angel popped her head in. "You where looking for me Master?" she asked.
"Yes, please come here, Angelique" Ciel said looking up from his work giving her his full attention.
Angel nodded before stepping fully into the room and shutting the door behind her.
"I have two questions for you. One being, why are you in a maid uniform?" Ciel asked.
Angel indeed wore a maid out fit similar to Mey-rin's (The other mad in the manor), however the selves started just blow the shoulders and the skirt was shorter.
"That's because from today, I would like to in the Phantom-hive manor as a maid." She said happily.
Ciel nodded before he continued, "Second, Why did you run from Sebastian, when I sent him to get you?"
"Simple, he seeks information about something that I refuse to share," she said sending the said butler a glare.
Ciel nodded once more understanding the situation.
"Master, it would seem that we have some uninvited guests at the door," Sebastian said irritated.
"What, who?" Ciel Shouted.
"Me, of course silly," A blond boy said as he barged into ciel's study.
"Alois, what the hell I thought you were dead," Ciel yelled.
"Nope, just a fledgling demon, like you," Alois giggled.
"Yes, he is your highness and not the only one I might add," Claude said finally appearing behind the small blond boy.
Although the two teens did not see it both Sebastian and Claude saw Angel stiffen.
"What do you mean?" Ciel asked.
Claude glanced over to angel a slight smirk on his face before speaking, "She is a demon, but she is a fledgling, and by the looks of it not a strong demon either."
~Slap~ the room went silent as the sound echoed throughout the room. Angelique's ice blue eyes had started to flood blood red. She was pissed, and she was even more pissed that Sebastian, took the hit she had meant for Claude.
"I'm sorry master, annoyance, but I'm afraid I must pull Lady Angelique out for a bit," Sebastian said angrily.
Sebastian roughly grabbed angel's wrist and pulled her towards his room, before pushing her in and looking the door.
"I am sorry, but you will remain in there Intel I come and retrieve you."
"Let me out, Sebastian let me out" Angel shouted as she banged on the simply placed the key in his coat pocket before returning to his master in his study.
"Where's Angel?" Ciel asked upon his butler's return.
"Detained for the time being. If she had stayed any long I would have to have dealt with an enraged fledgling," Sebastian replied.
"That may be true, but wouldn't locking her up make her more furious," Claude asked amused.
"Yes, but I will pay for that later. Now why have you come uninvited?" Sebastian questioned.
"I just wanted to invite you both to my costume birthday ball this weekend. Ah, and you must bring your new maid, she seems fun," Alois said happily.
"If it will get you to leave so I can work, fine Me, Sebastian, and Angelique, shall attend," Ciel said.
"Yay! Claude let's go, I wouldn't to be here when she is released," Alois said grinning as he walked away Claude following behind him.
After Ciel was sure the two were gone he said. "Angel's going to seriously kill you," Ciel said amused.
"On the contrary, she will hurt me, but she can't kill me," Sebastian replied.
"As long as you are able to serve and protect me, it's alright. Now leave and continue with your daily chores, I have work to finish," Ciel said as he continued to work.
"Yes my lord," Sebastian bowed exiting.
Sebastian continued though out the day. Fulfilling his master's requests, cleaning up after Finni, Brad, and Mey-rin, also cleaning the rooms and other places. After he had put the young master to bed, he finished up the last off his chores before heading to his room. Sebastian unlocked his room before entering and locking it again. He looked around only to find darkness and silence.
"Where did she go?" Sebastian asked aloud.
"If you're talking about me, you should have checked the bathroom," Angel said turning off the light in the bathroom and drying her hair.
She sat on the edge and stared up at him. The only thing she had at the moment was her Silver panties with black bows, and one of his clean white button down shirts. Sebastian had to remind him self not to do anything as he took her form in.
"Angel, might I suggest you wearing a more appropriate attire," Sebastian managed out.
"Well if someone didn't look me in a damn demon proof room. I would have been able to dress properly," she stated.
"You were about to attack someone," he countered.
"Good, maybe I would have killed him," she murmured.
"What did he do to you that you want to kill him for?" Sebastian questioned.
"Why should I tell you?" She asked annoyed.
"Because you have slapped me countless time, and I have yet to hurt you," Sebastian pretending to be hurt.
Angel whispered something that wasn't even audible.
"Can you repeat that?" Sebastian asked.
"He murdered my family, ok!" Angel said throwing the damp towel at him.
"He killed my family for now reason. I had a normal life granted a few things happened. But that doesn't matter, no it doesn't because my family is dead and aren't ever coming back," She shouted.
Her tears swelled in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Sebastian kneeled in front off her before placing her towel on her hair and began drying it. That sat in silence for a while before she spoke again, but this time softer.
"I'm sorry Sebastian."
"Hnn, why?" The butler questioned.
"For yelling at you like that and slapping you countless time. I was taking my anger out on you, someone who has nothing wrong to me. I apologize for that."She answered.
Angel wiped away the tears that threaten to fall, before leaning forward and placing a kiss on his cheek. When she pulled back, she averted his eyes as a light red blush filled her cheeks.
Sebastian smiled, "Angel all is forgiven, but as a demon you must keep yourself in check. Least you harm yourself in the process."
"I'm mot five you know. I can handle my emotions," Angel pouted.
"Oh, but of course you can control your emotions. A woman who slaps people even with a reason, and then takes her frustration out on other is something only a child would do right?" Sebastian said sarcastically.
"Hey, it isn't my fault you stood in front of him," Angel protested.
"It is. For If I had let you harm him, you would be a dead fledgling," Sebastian mused.
"I've slapped you twice and I'm still alive" she stated.
"Very true, however that will stop," He commented.
"Awww, but its fun" Angel said happily.
"I see, but it is also a little painful," he replied.
"I said I was sorry. Maybe you could train me." She suggested hopefully.
"I don't know, it's hard to train fledglings," Sebastian said sadly trying to see the reaction she would give.
To him he almost died of cuteness. Angel's cat ears popped out from the top of her head followed by her tail on her lower back. She pouted before clinging to his coat and nuzzling her check against his chest.
"Please, I will try super hard. I listen to everything you tell me, so please Sebastian." She begged.
"Mmmh, aright, but first you have to do something for me," Sebastian said before whispering into her ear what he wanted. Angel nodded and climbed off the bed to unlock the door. She head up stairs before peering into her master's bedroom.
"Master?" she whispered.
"He's asleep, Angelique," Sebastian said coming up behind her.
"Well then I don't want to wake him." she whispered annoyed.
"You won't have too, he'll wake himself," He said ignoring her tone.
"What? How?" She asked.
Sebastian drew his attention back to the sleeping boy before whispering, "Watch."
As the two watch the boy began to groan in his sleep. Pretty soon he was trashing around seeming to fight off something in his dream. Ciel woke up screaming in a mixture of fear and pain. His hair was a mess, his body was trembling, and you could see the tears streaming down the boys cheeks, as he held him self for comfort. Angel's heart tightened painfully as if breaking, at the sight of Ciel like that. She stepped into her master's room and quickly moved over to him, hugging him. Bring comfort to him as if he was her own. Ciel clung to her shirt and cried for his family. Angel glanced over to Sebastian, before she began his request.
~ Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth ~
When Angel finished, Ciel was fast asleep in her arms. She carefully dried his tears before tucking him in and exiting the room.
"You did excellent, Angel," Sebastian said.
"Thank you," was her soft response.
"Angel, why are you crying?" Sebastian asked.
"My family was killed when I was Ciel's age, and my mother used to sing to me that song every night I would go to bed." She said as she dried her tears.
"I apologize, I was unaware." Sebastian said regret twisting in with his words a bit.
"No don't be. It isn't your fault. I agreed to do it. I wanted to control the things that I'm not able to." Angel said when a smile.
"I see. Well Angelique before we do any training, I must know something. You are a new born yet you are how old?" Sebastian asked. For this topic had bothered since earlier.
"I am 23, why?" She answered slightly confused.
"Because that means you were changed just like the young master." Sebastian concluded.
"Yes, I was. My father had summoned a demon for he was on his death bed. He told the demon to watch over me Intel my 22 birthday, and then make a demon. I f he could handle that he could have his soul. The demon agreed so here I am with no family and a new life." She said proud.
"How interesting. Why would he want you to become a demon?"
"As a child I was severely weak. So in turn I couldn't do much. My guess would be that, he wanted me to have a life that I could control."
"I see. Angelique, Are you happy with your current life?"
"I am. I get to see the world in a different light; and I'm not a weak child anymore. Just like my father wanted."
"Agreed. You're a strong, beautiful young woman, which has much to learn."
"Does that mean you'll teach me?" Angel asked hopefully.
"Yes, it does." Before Sebastian could say any more, he was pulled into a small hug.
"Thank you," Angel whispered.
"It is my pleasure." Sebastian said returning the hug.
"If you two don't go to bed," Ciel shouted from his bed.
"Yes my lord," the two said unison. Sebastian showed her, the room she was to stay in before returning to his own which was right across the hall.
