SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE MANGA/HAVE NOT READ UP TO CHAPTER 52, PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS. IT REVEALS KEY PARTS OF SAID MANGA AND I RATHER NOT HAVE COMPLAINING IN MY INBOX. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
The past three days had been quite fun for the servant of Sebastian, along with an extra break that she used to entertain herself with a man who she danced with, there were quite a few who complimented her. So it was to no surprise that she was boasting with energy tonight, even though it was the night that Sebastian and Ciel would infiltrate the room of which the case was circled around. She was ordered to stay behind with Snake, who took a bite of what Ciel left on his plate, she watched as he seemed to light up with an 'It's good!', chuckling mildly.
As he said he would go off to feed his friends, she followed after him in order to make sure none would interfere. Leaning against a stack of boxes as he kneeled to feed said snakes, she crossed her arms and ankles while closing her eyes. Hearing picking up a rather distinct sound, she couldn't warn Snake in time before a light was flashed their way. Wincing herself as she opened her eyes, she stared back at Ciel as Snake proclaimed it was to bright for him.
"What're you two doing down here?"
"The food was really good, so I thought I'd share it with everyone, says Dan."
She blinked once more as her vision adjusted, only a flicker of a slitted pupil given, "I'm here to make sure none interfere, where is Master?" It was then Lizzy came up from behind Ciel, proclaiming not to leave her alone. Violet narrowed dangerously as she stared behind Elizabeth, trying to see out what the figure behind her was. "Lady Eliza-!" She snapped to attention once the man that smelt strongly of death ate the cake off her plate, aiming to take a bite out of her as well. Ciel managed to be a titch faster and pull her back, causing them both to slap against the crates.
Now stepping in front of them both to be between the walking corpse and the three, she pulled up her fists while stepping into a defensive position. It was when Snake pointed out the similar symbol on mutiple other coffins that she realized with dread they were outnumbered. It wasn't that concerning for her, but she still had to keep up the appearance of a normal human woman in front of Lady Elizabeth and Snake. Turning back to look to Ciel, her worry evident, she voiced said emotion quickly. "We need to get out of he-..!" They're awakening! "Shit!"
While the group turned back to head up the stairs, Hitomi kicked back the body so it was forced back a few feet. She turned to realize that the stairs were blocked off, and they were being cornered by a few crates, with Ciel's order to climb, she begrudgingly followed it by climbing and helping Elizabeth up. When Snake crawled up with her help as well, she glanced down when Elizabeth exclaimed to watch out, cursing aloud again before she noticed a few snakes wrapping themselves around the body. That was far to close for her taste, if anything were to happen to Ciel, Sebastian was sure to have her head on a platter.
Glaring down at the corpses that attempted to reach up for them, she put her mind into overdrive thinking of any way for them to escape. It was obvious why the corpses weren't going upstairs, they were making noise so coupled with the blindfold these 'zombies' were wearing, they were the easiest targets. About to bite her lower lip, she felt a sudden and very violent shake that caused Elizabeth to scream. Grabbing the edge while looking over, she snarled lowly, they were trying to knock them over!
"I'll definitely protect you at least, no matter what happens!"
"How admirable, young master."
Relief suddenly crashed as several blades embedded themselves into the back of the monsters' heads, she remained silent between the exchange; there was no point interfering with it anyways, though what came next caused her eyes to widen in absolute awe. Adrenaline rushed fast enough to shiver her spine, the crazed Cheshire smile lifting her lips felt like it would break the human facade she wore. Shaking her head once Elizabeth called Ciel back from his, what she assumed to be, horror struck thoughts; the look of crazed awe was removed before it was noticed by anyone, though the smirk from Sebastian made her believe he had seen.
Ignoring this in favor of getting down, she stopped before Sebastian would help her down to stare at the mass of permanently dead bodies with a mixture of feelings. Feeling her stomach curl in hunger wasn't helping, though easier to ignore with the capture of what she assumed to be the culprit behind these monsters. The news of ten times as many corpses wasn't at all very nice, but caused her stomach to growl audibly, she was hungry...and the smell wasn't helping. Under any other circumstances she would be thrilled, it was like the entire ship was a feast made just for her but..this was a different circumstance. As the group began to make their way out, she had still not gotten down, turning violet back onto the mass of dead bodies. It was her Masters words that caused her eyes to widen with surprise, a feeling that went unknown for a moment passing her frame.
"Hitomi, clean up this mess." Looking down at him, she stared for but only a second to know exactly what he was speaking of, the shock replaced with spilled over tears. Relief made what most assumed to be a relax body suddenly droop with said relaxation, and with the backs of the others turned to go up the stairs, she gulped down a small lump of saliva that was sure to turn into a happy sob. She was so detrimentally hungry, there were no words to explain how ecstatic she was in that very moment. "Master.." Stopping him before he went up the stairs, she smiled beautifully at him, completely opposing to the catty grin that normally graced her features.
"Thank you, so much."
As he grinned and went upstairs, she looked down to the now massive meal set in front of her. How long had it been she ate in her true form? Far to long, for even she couldn't remember. Jumping down to the blood soaked floor, she snapped her neck on both sides before accessing the powers that hadn't seen the light of day for years. A blue flame spread from both of her hands over her entire frame, burning away the maids' outfit as she transformed into something horrendous, her stomach growling angrily as the feast begun.
