What was Missing?
Chapter Six: Worry
A/N: I am so sorry about the delay and putting this story on hold guys, but here you on a new chapter ahahehehe, please forgive me!
[Nola]
I sit at the breakfast bar continuing to eat the sausage risotto, it was bloody delicious and I was jealous.
"Hmm it seems that time travels differently here than back home" Sebastian says holding his chin, I nod and gulp down my food.
"Yes or it's a random time when the doors I went through will appear, for all I know I could go back to sleep right now and not even go there and it would probably be like there a three day wait till I return there" I reply catching the interest of the still mad and jealous reaper.
Grell raises his brow at me and lifts his lip a little to show if teeth, "Will mentioned something like that in his letter, saying how the connection between home and you was must likely made before you summoned us, but you hadn't gone there when the connection was made was probably because he believes there is someone on the other side of the door letting you in and out" he explains, I nod agreeing with him.
I munch another mouthful of the demon's risotto, "if someone is letting you in and out that means it was planned for me and Grell to come here" Sebastian suggest with angry pouring from his glowing red eyes, I tremble from the sight of them remembering them glaring straight into my very being as he straggled me. A trail of sweat travels down my face as I back away from the demon in front of me, "w-well I'm gonna go back to bed we have a long day tomorrow, thank you for the dinner Sebastian" I say quickly hopping off my stall and going towards the doorway.
"Wait!" I jump at the sharp tone used on me. I gulp and turn round seeing the red eyes man holding a plate of red velvet cake; I blush gently and feel a spot of drool slowing drip off my chin as I stare at my favourite dessert. I quickly run to the teen snatching the plate and sit back down shovelling it into my gob, "Geez what are you an animal?!" Grell snaps at me, I tilt my head "yes, all humans are we evolved from apes" I reply wiping some vanilla butter cream off my cheek.
"You can't be serious?" The red head questions mocking me, "you believe Charles Darwin bull crap do you?!" the reaper yells at me followed by a burst of laughter. I puff my cheeks out blushing "Yes! It's more believable than that religious crap!" (no offense to people who are religious) I reply crossing my arms holding my head up proudly.
I look at Sebastian hearing him cackle gently, "it's funny how humans of this time have pushed a subject aside that use to rule your lives" the demon says, I raise my brow at his comment "oh there are still many, many religious people in the world Sebastian, than there are atheist like my self in the world. But no our lives are not like they were in the Victorian era where religion blocked human's minds to new ideas to our existence, and new religions were thought as false by us English, but as time has gone on we've opened up to the world because we are humans we were became curious about the world and explored and our eyes were opened, yes sometimes for the worst but mostly it was for the good" I explain as I dismember my cake's layers.
"your views on humanity is interesting Nola, much like my young master's but just not as negative" the red eyed teen replies with a kind smile making me blush at it and smile myself. I flinch as Grell flicks my phone out to me "oh yeah your phone kept buzzing" I nod and take it from the reaper and look at the four missed calls from Mark; I frown and stand going out the back door to call my friend back.
I nibble my lip as for 3 minutes I get nothing but dialling tone, as I hear Mark's voice a wave of relief washes over me. "H-Hey..." he answers in an exhausted voice causing me to resume my frown, "Sorry about not answering my phone I went to bed straight after work sorry" I explain pacing in my yard, I stop hearing my red head friend cough and groan, "Mark what's wrong? You said sick and hurt are you okay?!" I ask worriedly sitting on the hammock located at the end of my garden.
"I'm at the hospital" at that moment my heart dropped and I went pale. "H-Hospital...WHY?!" I yelp with tears peeking in my eyes making my vision go fuzzy, my tears only worsen as I hear Mark sob down the phone. "I was bitten by that fucking false widow bastard!" he yells in anger I glare hard, "then why aren't you in bed Mark!? Why are you talking to me after being bitten by a fucking venomous spider?!" I scream in anger standing.
"Shut up I'm having a smoke" my friend replies puffing the smoke out at the phone, I grit my teeth with tears pouring "you shouldn't be up...why are you up Mark?" I sob shaking. "Because I wanted to talk to you and have my friend by my bed holding my hand to tell me everything was okay!" he yells back at me making me drop to my knees sobbing more.
"I'll be there in a moment okay, I'm leaving now" I push myself up and run to the house opening the door, I ignore Sebastian and Grell running to the front door slipping my shoes on and pulling my jacket of the rack, "It's past visiting hours dummy they won't let you in" Mark snickers at me, I shake my head opening the door still ignoring the reaper and demon yelling me to stop.
"Just tell me your room number!" I demand spiriting down the road, "C ward room 15" I nod and run faster, though it wouldn't matter it would still take me an hour on foot to get to the hospital and I had left my purse at home to get a bus or taxi, "Nola something else too..." Mark starts I stop running to listen to him, "yeah" I reply waiting for him. "Jamie's in coma" at that point the world round me stopped, I didn't notice a thing going on around me not even Sebastian and Grell running to me yelling at me, "How...Why...?" I whimper shaking violently, "I'll explain when you get here and then you can introduce me to your new friend biotch" Mark laughs and hangs up leaving me distraught and still blocked out of the world, till a red reaper slaps me round the face.
"Listen to me when I am talking to you!" He scolds at me gripping my shoulders tightly, I nod gulping and sniffling "now what the fuck is going on?!" Grell as releasing my shoulders, I breathe heavily and try to explain to the pair but I just can't get the words out and I break down again.
[Sebastian]
I sigh at the sobbing human in front of me, "hey...Hey calm down alright" Grell says softly to the weeping girl. "Grell go back to the house and watch it I'll stay with Nola" I say to the reaper who nods and walks away round the corner.
I return my gaze to the wrecked brunette before me, I sigh once more at what I'm about to do.
"it's okay calm down" I whisper to her taking her into my arms drawing circles on her back, I lay my cheek on her head as she hiccups calming down "now tell me what's wrong" I whisper in her ear getting an amusing reaction; a blush spreads from ear to ear and she grips my shirt tightly flustered from my voice.
"My...My friends are in the hospital, one was bi-bitten by a poisonous spider...and the other is in a coma" the brunette explains between sobs and hiccups still hiding her face in my chest, I hush her gently keeping her close "you were going to the hospital?" I ask stroking her hair soothing her. Nola nods replying to me stepping away from me slightly to rub her emerald eyes, "I...I need to go" she backs away from me but I stop her grabbing her wrist, "how far is the hospital?" I ask her making her eyes widen.
"Well by foot it's about an hour away...and I forgot my purse so I have to walk..." the young teen mumbles pointing up the hill, I nod and hold my chin thinking things over. "Well I have no choice..." I announce getting a confused face from the girl, which quickly turns to shock as I scoop her up bridal style "wha-wha-what are you doing?" she stutters pushing against my chest to try and get me to let go, "you want to see your friends right? Well I'm much faster than a human so you'll get there faster with me carrying you, plus your friend said he wanted to meet me" I smile at her gently getting another blushed face from her.
"Thank you Sebastian" she whispers and loops her arms round my neck hanging on tightly, I nod at her and adjust my hold on her "hold on tight you might fall off" I tease once again, she yelps nonetheless and tightening her arms round my neck as I jump into the air to land on a building near by and repeat the process to the hospital.
[Nola]
"You can open your eyes we're here" Sebastian says to me, I whimper and open my eyes shocked at our destination "huh? So fast" I state climbing from the teen butler's arm looking at the hospital roof we had landed on, "now we just have to find your friend" the demon teen says leading the way to the roof door, I nod and quickly trot over to him going through the door and head for the staircase and peep down, I sigh "Mark's in ward C and that's on the second floor we're on the fifth guess we should start walking" I suggest and start taking the first few steps.
I yelp as Sebastian yanks me back into bridal style, he climb onto the railing of the staircase and looking down, "hold on I'm going to jump" he whispers softly, I nod and return my hold round his neck as the red eyed teen bends his knees and with one push up we fall. I clamp my mouth shout so not to scream and close my eyes in fear as the teen grips the third floor railing and just hangs there, "Nola…" I blush as he says my name but I still open my eyes at him as he swings me down to the second floor landing, he too joins me and straightens his clothes, "Are you cold?" the demon asks me, I raise my brow as he looks me up and down I then look down at myself blushes bright red, peaking out at the end of my jacket was the end of a knee length frilly nightgown I was wearing back in the Kuro world.
I quickly shake my red faced head and let Sebastian open the door for me, I enter the hallway and start looking for the C Ward room 15, at the moment we were at C ward far end where rooms 30-40 were located, we had a way to go.
"Room 15…" I mutter to myself finally seeing it, I approach the room and see Mark propped up in bed with a tv remote in his hand, I gulp too nervous to go in but Sebastian gives my back a light push literally pushing me into the room. "M-Mark!" I yelp stumbling over to him, his blue eyes widen at e and he slips form bed to catch me "Jesus that was fast" my red head friend comments struggling me in a hug, I return his hug but lightly so I don't hurt him more than what he was already, "Mark come on get back into bed you shouldn't even be up" I reply ushering him back to his tucking him.
"Soooo who's your friend" Mark coos flicking his eye brows up and down pointing eyeing the door way, I turn round and blush at Sebastian "he's not that kind of friend Mark!" I snap crossing my arms but I then lower them and raise my brow, "wait don't you know who Sebastian is?" I ask pointing to the red eyed teen that walks in to stand beside me, Mark shakes his head "why should I...wait I didn't have another drunk one nighter again did I?" The red head panics.
I shake my head and hands in front of me "no, no, no!" I yelp with scarlet covering my face, "no nothing like that…." I add lowering my arms and head, Sebastian smirks at me and steps forward "then who is he?" Mark asks yawning "Sebastian Michaelis I'll be starting your school this Monday I'm a friend of Nola" Sebastian introduces smiling softly and bowing, Mark raises his brow and I too raise my own "I thought you would know who he was by looking at him?" I asks confused, Mark's face returned to shock "OMG he is from a one night stand I had isn't he?!" my red head friend yelp looking worried at me friend.
"No I've already said he's not…" I start with concern, "Have you heard of a manga and anime called Kuroshitsuji?" I ask playing my fingers behind my back nervously, "oh yeah set in Victoria's year right?" he asks I nod with smile, "never read it, I read the title saw it had 'shit' in it and looked for something else, why?" my eyes widen to the size of saucers, I freeze and my tanned skinner begins to grow pale, "but Wednesdays you told me about the manga" I whisper but loud enough for Mark hear.
Mark sits up nods "yeah about Wednesday anything after last Saturday is just a complete blank! Could you fill me in on what happened, like what I missed at school gossip wise I mean, and why on Earth why I would mention a manga to you that I found terrible just from title" I look confused at my friend and clench my hands close to my chest "but I phoned you Wednesday night and Thursday night how could you not remember!" I scream trembling as I was getting scared from all this, first a stupid chain letter works, then two characters form a manga that my friend says is shit when he mentioned it to me appear, then I manage to travel to another world through my dreams, now both my friends who were perfectly fine today are both in hospital. Something was going on and it had something to do with me, Sebastian and Grell and whoever was behind it was obviously targeting my friends.
I gulp and force and smile "s-sure when will they let you out?" I ask clenching my shaking hands, "I want to be out by Sunday by the doc said no way more like Wednesday, liberty right" Mark snorts leaning his head back, "then when you get out of hospital I cook you a feast and tell you everything that has happened okay" I smile bright closing my eyes trying to hide my nervousness, but it doesn't work as Sebastian lays a hand on my shoulder squeeze slightly, "Nola I'm gonna be alright" Mark says to me snuggling in his bed sheet, he then leans over to his bed side table and picks up a small glass bottle, "wanna see the fucker that bite me?" he asks holding it, I take the bottle stare Sebastian also leans in to see. There in the bottle was a horrid little thing, a black spider with golden brown strips down the abdomen and legs, the way how its eight eyes looked at me like staring into my very soul, and how they blink all at the same time freaked me out!
A nurse then walks by the window and Mark takes back the bottle placing by his table to lay back down, "you should go, I would tell you where Jamie is but they won't let anyone see her, I don't know what happened to her I just woke up here and her mum was here crying saying she was in a coma" I drop my hands and nod, "o-okay…" I look up at the red head "is her mum still here?" he shrugs and yawns as a nurse opens the door with a stern look.
"Excuse me how did you get in here, visiting hours are well over please leave" she asks holding the door open for us, I nod and me and Sebastian exit the room, we start to leave to go to the elevator when the red eyed teen stops and stares towards a closest where doctor uniforms are kept. "Sebastian?..." I ask him bringing him out of his thought, "you still want to see your other friend right?" he asks smiling at me, I lower my head and frown nodding.
"Go to the waiting area and wait for me okay" he devilish grins at me making me blush bright red, I nod without hesitation and turn to sitting area trotting over to claim a seat. I sit down by a table with magazines with my hands neatly on my lap, I look round at the few people sat in the waiting room with worry all over their faces, they must be here for their children…..I remember when mum an dad looked like that when Katie was in the hospital I lower my head and sigh worrying about my friend. "Who are you here for?" I blink and look up seeing a woman above me holding two cups, she sits beside me and hands me the cup, "sorry you have one of those faces that's filled with worry for someone" I nod at her "my friends, one was bitten by the false widow and the other is in a coma" I tell her she smiles and sips her hot brew, I stare at my own and sniff it hospital coffee great…. As the woman turns away I quickly tip the drink into a pot plant beside me.
"Well I hope they get well soon Miss Collins but you're going to have to come with me" she suddenly says, I raise my brown turning to her "how do you-" before I can finish my sentence a feel a sharp stinging jab in my neck, I try to struggle but the woman wraps her arms round me stopping my struggling, my eye lids grow heavily and my vision becomes burier and burier along with my head becoming dizzy as my body falls limp on the floor, a just about see a man in hospital nurse attire walk over and I feel myself beginning lifted from the fall and feel the bounce of the person holding me walking, "n-no….s-stop" I whimper closing my eyes on the world as I find myself unable to fight back feeling so weak.
[Sebastian]
I comb my hair back with my fingers like how Frances Midford would do to me, I wasn't fond of this hairstyle but it was to resemble the man in the ID photo, I sigh staring at the unconscious man on the floor and bend down to clench his jaw "why couldn't you have a more decent hairstyle" I groan and stand opening the door, I walk down the hallway passing patients and hospital staff, I shot smiles and gives waves and make my way to the waiting room.
No Nola? I look round for the girl even sniff out her soul. Not in the building. I raise my brow going toward the window showing the walk way outside, I hold a stern look at the man in hospital nurse attire carrying the dozing girl toward a white van, I sigh and opening the window really just like the young master getting herself kidnapped, nice to know I will be kept busy with my time here I rub the space between my eyes and continue to gaze outside as the man places Nola down on the van floor while the woman in the van takes a needle, she gently slides it into the brunette's arm getting a whimper from her and extracts some blood, I raise my brow and stand on the edge of the window and jump down to land on a tree near by the van.
To my surprise they did not take her as I suspected, after they had some of her blood they gently lay Nola on a bench by the Hospital sign, and retreat to their to van to then drive off. I smirk jumping down to the dozing girl and watch the van drive off, I glare of into the distance remembering the symbol on the woman's chest pocket, a black spider with a sword horizontal in front of the spider, I hold my chin as I had seen it before back in my world somewhere, maybe a cult me and the young master were investigating but it makes no sense that they would be here in modern time and different universe, made I'm wrong I should-
"urghh…." I quickly stare down at Nola and kneel down to her taking her head in my hand, "what happened?" I ask as her eyes open slightly, "needle…..in my…..neck…..sleep" she managed to mutter before losing consciousness again, "so they drugged you…I'm going to suck it out your neck okay" I say pulling her gently onto my lap and lift her head to show her neck, she moans an 'okay' I smile and lay my parted lips over the small but bruised puncher mark, I begin suck on her neck getting a mixture of blood and drug, all the while Nola is moaning with pleasure quietly making me smirk as I suck her neck.
Once I have all the drug I could get out of her, I take a glass cylinder from the doctor's jacket and spit the drug in and keep the blood in my mouth swallow, "my you have suddenly become interesting troublesome girl…." I mock return my lips to her neck to feast a bit more on her blood, it was quite satisfying though much to this girl's dislike I will be feasting on soul in this world, if I'm to act like these 'teenagers' I will behave how I did when I was a 'teenager', feasting on any soul I could find. Though at my current age I do only wish for high quality souls but I'm supposed to be acting as my younger self, so I will let this be an exception.
