So... To make it up to Will... Here is another chapter today! I also am extending rights to Nature Faustus(If I haven't mention, but this is a collab with her.) We only own our OCs and Most of the plot. We have no rights for LOTR or Kuroshitsuji.
Black shouted, "LAST CALL!" Making most in the club frown. It had been an eight hour shift that made even Claude look exhausted. "Two more minutes, Claude, then the bar and food section closes down."
Amethyst started the last song of the night.
I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
Claude growled as a man tried to order more drinks as the bar's lights went out. "Sorry, but there will be no more alcohol."
A woman walked up to Black. "Thank you for making tonight more child friendly."
"It was our pleasure, we have some guests over who offered help, so we had help." Black smiled.
"Thank you everyone for coming to Fallen Wings tonight, I'd like to wish you all a goodnight." Amethyst said, when she finished the last song; before another blast of smoke and she disappeared off stage.
The people started to file out, the cabs all waiting to take drunk people home, pro bono, as it was still holidays, and the club brought them lots of fares on normal nights.
When everyone left, Amethyst reemerged with Hannah from back stage. Heading to help count the money of the night, but she was scooped up in a demon's arms; which one she didn't know.
Claude continued to wipe down the counter.
Sebastian carried Amethyst to where she wanted, sitting her in his lap. As she began to count tonight's earnings.
Black started to put away the bottles, locking them away when she was done. "Who's not done with their tasks?" She asked, watching as Mey-Rin came down from the nest.
"We did good tonight, $5,000." Amethyst said.
Black nodded. "The boys are asleep, so they will ride with you. I'm going to be taking my bike back home."
"Awe...so cute." Amethyst whispered, looking over at Ciel and Alois. "Okay, drive safe. You know how crazy people can be this time of night."
"I know. Sebastian, wanna ride behind me?" Black turned to the Raven, who still had Amethyst in his lap.
"Wait, I just realized something. You said ball of energy earlier?" Grell frowned confused, looking at Amethyst.
"Fae don't have a physical form, unless they want to reproduce, the popular choice is Elven folk and Humans, but Shadow Shifters are a close second." Black growled.
Amethyst showed them, by becoming a glowing Amethyst ball of energy. "This is how I got my name."
Black shook her head. "I'm going to change now." She went in back, pulling her shirt from earlier back on.
Amethyst moved to in front of William and Claude, her tiny fae voice giggling at their awe filled expressions.
Claude held out his hand for her to land on, he wanted to kiss her at the moment.
She giggled, and turned back into her elven form; though no one had seen it truly. Her purple eyes now blue like Thranduil's, her body matched his perfectly except for the curves and the eyebrows. "I take mostly after my father."
Claude gasped, and pulled her into his lap. "You look so delectable."
Black came out of the back room, ready to leave. "Sebastian? Are you going to ride with me?"
"Yes, let me carry Ciel to her car." Sebastian replied, going to pick up his young master carefully.
William went over to Sebastian, and held out his arms. "I have him, go." He spoke quietly.
Sebastian nodded in thanks, and handed his young master to the reaper.
Black chuckled, kissing William's cheek as she passed by, grabbing hold of Sebastian's hand. "See you guys at home."
Amethyst smiled, before getting up; she picked up Finny who had also fallen asleep. "Sweet child. Claude get Alois and we will so head out."
Claude nodded, and gathered his young master in his arms, watching as Amethyst locked up.
Back at the house
"So William, do we have to drag you back to the bed?" Amethyst playfully teased.
"No, but I would prefer my own bed." William sighed.
"I can't do this, if that's the case." Amethyst wrapped her arms around him.
William blushed. "Fine."
Black came in, her hair windswept, and a grumbling Sebastian behind her. "Come on, Sebastian! It was fun! We didn't die, did we?"
"I think that was a little too much for him at this moment. Remember Victorian era didn't have motorcycles." Amethyst smiled softly at Sebastian.
"Who cares! I showed him that there is something that can compare somewhat to a demon's speed!"
Amethyst went to say something, when there was a knock. "Oh right, I have guard duty." She pouted. "William, I will be back around 3 am." She kissed his cheek, before doing the same to both Claude and Sebastian. She walked back to the room, and put on a traditional elven clothing.
Claude stole a kiss back. "I'll see you when you return."
"Bye, Ame." Black called from the kitchen.
Amethyst opened the door to see Haldir. "Uh, no one's home." She closed the door, looking back at her friend. "Damn."
"Haldir?" Black chuckled.
"Yes! I'm gotta get this over with." She opened the door again and walked out. "Hello, Haldir."
"Let's go." Haldir said shortly, walking to the portal.
"Hey, where did our friendship go? We use to be close." Amethyst sighed.
"We are on guard duty tonight." Haldir sighed back.
"Not what I meant, and you know it." Amethyst said, looking down sadly.
"I'm not talking about it." He went through the portal.
"Is it because I left, to find myself?" She followed him. Her wings coming out immediately due to the magic in the air.
"Yes." Haldir said shortly, hoping to end the conversation.
"Please Haldir, tell me why? Why does that matter?" Amethyst asked, unknown to them Tauriel and Legolas were listening far away.
"When will she realize he loved her?" Legolas asked Tauriel.
"It matters because you're the only one I've truly cared for!" Haldir spun, facing her.
"Haldir, I'm sorry I didn't know. I cared for you, maybe not in the way you speak of; but I valued our friendship more than anything." Amethyst said, touching his shoulder. "I don't want to lose your friendship."
"It has long since faded away." Haldir turned away, heading to the area where they were assigned to guard.
"Haldir." She ran after him.
"She may not feel the same way for him, but she still wants him in her life. Does he realize what he may lose? A friendship worth having?" Legolas frowned.
"He is hurting still, have you not known that pain?" Tauriel asked.
"I have, but I value friendship; even if I can't have the one I care for." Legolas sighed.
"Haldir is hurting, and he wants her to understand, but he's showing it wrong I'll admit." Tauriel sighed. "Let us return inside."
"Haldir, please." Amethyst cried. "You were like a second brother to me." Tears beginning to form.
Haldir sighed, stopping. "It hurts you know. My heart wanted you as a Lover, as a Mate, but here I've come to find you see me no more than a brother." Haldir turned, showing her his pain.
"I'm so sorry." Amethyst fell to her knees. "I do love you, but it's family bonds."
Haldir wiped away the tears he saw forming, lifting her to her feet. "I will try to understand that."
Amethyst looked at him and smiled softly. "Thank you."
"Now, we must hurry, we are already late." Haldir rushed off.
"Of course." Amethyst replied, running alongside him; as they did as friends.
Back at the house
"So why did Amethyst not look happy to see him?" Sebastian asked.
"Haldir was once a very close friend of her's. I think he might have had love for her, as a mate, but she's seen him as a brother." Black sighed, taking a seat on the couch.
"That must of been rough." Grell frowned.
"Yea, when He realized that he wasn't going to get what he wanted he pulled back to look and see a bigger picture of her, more than what he had been seeing." Black looked at the window. "She came back crying after that."
A portal opened, they looked at the clock to see it was 3 am. "Time went quickly." Undertaker said.
"It does, when you have fun." Black stood.
Amethyst smiled. "I got me brother back!" She cried happily.
"Cool." Black stood up. "I'm going to dress for the night." She stalked out of the room, her shoulders stiff, as they had been since the phone call earlier.
"Right behind you." Amethyst replied, heading after her.
Black changed into a huge shirt that she owned for a long time. "Bruder." Flashes of her brother's face came before her, and a flash of his dead body came forward as well. She shook her head and went to the Master bedroom, laying down on her side of the bed, curling into William's side.
Amethyst walked in wearing a green silk night slip that reached her knees. "Hey William." She whispered.
William smiled at her, patting a sleeping Black's head. "She must have been exhausted to fall asleep this quickly." He whispered softly.
"Yeah." Amethyst replied, laying in William's left. Laying her head on his chest.
Claude walked in, sniffing the air softly, he raised an eyebrow, seeing the tears on Black's face. "Why is Black crying?"
"I don't know." Amethyst sighed, touching her friends back. Rubbing it softly
Claude and William both looked at each other with wide eyes. They kissed her head softly, and Claude curled into Amethyst, as he had done last night.
Sebastian walked in and frowned, before climbing in the bed; curling up to Black.
Black, sensing Sebastian's warmth, cuddled closer to him, letting go of William. "Sebs…"
"Sh, sleep." He whispered, pulling her closer.
"Mein bruder, where has ye rested… where had ye slept for the centuries." Black murmured in her sleep.
"We will find him."Amethyst whispered, humming to her friend; softly lulling her back into a deep sleep. She cuddled closer to William.
"Why is she talking of her brother? Did you even know she had one?" Claude whispered.
"I knew, but he's been missing for centuries." Amethyst sighed, moving so her wings could cage, William, Black, and Sebastian.
Black whimpered, the shadows gathering around her as if to shield her from something.
Amethyst moved, her wings folding tightly around her friend. "Sh, we will find him. Hush now." She cooed, until the whimpering stopped.
Black's eyes opened, but instead of the life filled irises they were used to, they looked dead and hollow. "What's today's date?"
"December 27th, 2013." Claude answered without missing a beat.
"Danke." Black said, curling back up into Sebastian's chest, making herself as small as possible.
"You can't have her." Amethyst hissed at the being that was taking her friend, her hand glowed brightly casting whoever it was out. "Black, come back to us now!" Her voice rose, her eyes flared.
"Shut up, Halfy. I told you my bruder was missing, but I lied to an extent. He's missing his heartbeat, his breath, his soul. Mein bruder is a dead man." Black hissed.
Amethyst's eyes narrowed at halfy. She hated that word more than anything.
Claude growled, at the insult, but his growl died when he heard Black call her brother dead.
"I'm sorry, that I didn't know; but that doesn't give you the right to insult me." Amethyst disappeared, heading back to her world.
Black's face appeared again, just as dead as before. She stood, and headed to her own room, to her dark piece of sanity. She sat at her desk, drawing the face, and body of her dead brother.
Amethyst appeared in her friend's room. She walked to her friend, but did not touch her; anger and betrayal coursed through her body.
Black began to sing softly.
"If heaven's grief brings hell's rain
Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday (I know I'm bad news)
For just one yesterday(I saved it all for you)
Oh, I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday"
Black's hands focused on her piece of art, her mind on the memories, her heart could be heard shattering if one knew what to listen for in her. She didn't notice Amethyst, not William, Sebastian or Claude either.
Amethyst placed a hand on her friend's shoulder finally. A low sigh ripping from her, she kissed her friend's neck lovingly; showing no hard feelings.
Black's hand froze, and she turned to look at Amethyst, her eyes haunted by the memories. "Ame… I'm sorry…"
"It's forgiven. I love you." She kissed her friend gently.
Black kissed back, before pulling away, she returned to the drawing.
"What?" Amethyst asked Claude, Sebastian, and William; who stood their frozen.
Claude stepped into the room, but stepped right back out when he felt something push him out. "Was that Black who was singing?"
"Yes, she is amazing. My Shadow Heart." Amethyst purred, kissing her friend's neck; nipping slightly.
William stepped into the room, ignoring the push out. He kept walking, and pressed his lips to Black's cheek. "That is enough. You can not push us away forever."
Amethyst stared at William, before kissing his lips slowly.
William kissed back gently.
A purr radiated deep within her chest, as she pulled away. "You taste amazing."
Claude stepped forward again, forcing his way to Black. He pulled Black out of her chair, sitting down himself before pulling her into his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Sebastian walked in, heading to Black. He kissed her lovingly.
Black's eyes livened at all the love around her, she looked to the picture, and then to the clock. It is now 7:30 am. "Time to wake… yay…" She spoke sarcastically.
"Screw that." Amethyst said, grabbing William. "You will be me pillow right?"
William chuckled, "Of course I will."
"Yay." She jumped up, wrapping her arms around his neck and legs around his waist.
Black took the image she had drawn and hissed at how well she had drew it. "I hate drawing some things this well…" Black placed it back on the desk.
Sebastian picked her up, and walked back to the master bedroom. Laying her down on top of him. "My tiger."
Happy now, Will?
