Chapter Seven

A Mission

The Puppy, the twins had named it Shadow, did not take to kindly to Aurora and Vincent. It seemed that it noticed that they weren't human and decided to guard the real humans of the house from them. Aurora found it to be adorable over the last few days but Vincent wore a frown whenever the small animal was near him. The cats that they found crawling around the gardens seemed to love the two of them though, and followed them everywhere.

Vincent's comment on preferring cats was true; she had found him sneaking them into the house and locking them in his closet.

Aurora had become rather friendly with James over the last few days as well. The two of them had talk for hours while she took a stroll through the garden the other day and so she had a plan to do so every day. She would be here with this family for the next couple years anyway, so why not get to know them? James may be a young man obsessed with Martial Arts, but he was quite the poet.

Alois was the one that she went to for any problems or questions. He was quite a smart man that seemed to know everything about everything. Things had changed greatly since the last time that Aurora had been here so he answered all the questions she had; as did the books that she read.

Patrick and Rebecca had gone with Aurora on her first trip into the city(the night that she came here she didn't even bother taking a glance around) and she found many stores that she wanted to come back to see.

Maria hadn't stopped on her constant pleadings to get Aurora to pose for her so she could draw her but the demon refused to do that. She didn't think time should be wasted doing something like that. But the woman followed her around when she wasn't working. She would sit there while they ate and draw her, but she always threw it away. Maria claimed that she had yet to capture Aurora's beauty in her picture but she would find a way.

Victor was still sleeping on a couch in Aurora's room so she still found herself take naps as he would lay there and stay at her. She silently prayed that he would soon leave. He was an adorable kid and all, but the last thing that she wanted was him up her ass all day and night. She didn't want to seem rude, but she was growing tired of the teen being there all day.

The Twins were fine though. Ramona enjoyed spending afternoon tea time with Aurora and asking her questions about all her years she had been alive, though Reymond didn't like thinking about that. Reymond kept to himself really until he had to ask her or Vincent something.

Speaking of Vincent, they hadn't spent too much time together still. They were busy with other things and when they planned to spend time together at night, Victor was there and always awake when Aurora tried to leave in the middle of the night.

But that was all about the change.

Aurora had been summoned to the Twins' room that afternoon as they were in the middle of lunch. Vincent was already there, serving them, and she took a seat of the four that were there.

"You summoned me." She spoke as Vincent took a seat beside her.

"Yes," Reymond answered her, his eyes closed as he tilted his head down. "We have a mission for you," He glanced at them. "The both of you."

"A mission?" Vincent asked.

"For both of us?" Aurora questioned. Both of them shot the other a look with a small smirk. ~This should be fun~ She told herself.

"Yes, both of you." Ramona nodded. "As you heard, Edward Phantomhive is leaving his son with us right before Christmas. He has been friends with our parents for years now, but…"

"But there is still our suspicion that he may have taken part in the murder of our parents." Reymond finished.

"You believe Phantomhive played a part, hmm?" Aurora's smile returned. "May I inquire as to why?"

"At this point in time," Remora replied. "Everyone can be a suspect,"

"That, and the Phantomhive's wife knew where they would be on that day."

"But I thought Phantomhive wasn't here around that day."

"H wasn't but that doesn't mean that he didn't play a part." Reymond answered.

"You humans are such enjoyable specimens to watch," Vincent decided to say. "What do you want us to do?"

"We want you to trace Phantomhives' movements over the last few months. Where was he around the time if our parents accident. Who was he around; anything and everything that you can think of." He gave both of them a look. "I know you can handle that."

Aurora gave another smirk and stood from her seat. "And ii there any specific time that you want the two of us to leave?"

Ramona gave her a glance. "As soon as you can."

"And will it be all right without us?" Vincent decided to ask.

"Of course," Reymond answered. "We can last a week or so without babysitters."

"I believe Vincent was more referring to his kitchen in the arms of Patrick." Aurora grinned. The twins joined her in a laugh as Vincent pulled a frown. He apparently had been thinking about the children.

"We will find everything that you would like to know, my Lords," Vincent gave the twins a small bow as Aurora moved to the door. "We will return soon."

Aurora led the way down the hall with her eye closed, Vincent right behind her. "A mission, hmm?" She decided to say aloud. "It's been a while since we were on one together, wouldn't you say?"

Vincent smiled. "It was at least 500 years ago, was it not?"

"Yes…what was it called? The 'Black Death' or so that's what the humans call it." Aurora paused outside of her door.

"But, wasn't that your doing, not mine?" Vincent asked.

"Like you didn't help, you and all your foul drinking of their blood. The Plague was all your idea, remember?"

Vincent shook his head and leaned forward. "You and I both know that you had as much fun with it as I had." He whispered into her ear.

She glanced at him sideways. "Indeed I did," She closed her eyes. "We should have another enjoyment soon, Crow."

Vincent pulled back with a smile. "It's not been the same without you, Cat. I am truly glad that you and I have returned to each other's side." He continued on down the hall and Aurora moved into her room.

They would leave later that night, no time sooner. The others would be asking questions if they left now. If they left after nightfall then no one would notice at the moment and the twins would tell them a lie about sending them into the city. Aurora didn't really care, either way. Let them ask; she'd gladly tell them. She longed to see their reactions. It would be entertaining. How would they react? Would Victor want to be around her anymore? Would Maria still beg for that painting that she wanted to create?

Closing the door behind her, Aurora dropped her clothes to the ground and turned to the bathroom, turning back into her true form. She stared at herself in the mirror (I'm gonna keep it a secret from you guys until later ;)) before turning to the bath that she had had Rebecca prepare for her earlier.

Slowly dipping her hand into it, she felt how cold it was. She closed her eyes for a moment and the water began to boil. Steam quickly filled the room and she slipped the rest of her body into the tub to relax before their mission began.

~Stalking the Phantomhive man?~ Aurora told herself ~Much more entertaining than anything else in this house could ever be~

All right, the long chapters for this is about to start, I promise. I've already begun to write the next chapter and it's already over 2000 words, so be ready! :)
