So, I felt bad about leaving Ciel to die. I had a dream where Ciel's ghost haunted me as well… T^T Anyway, here is a chapter. Make friends with it

As I fell, time passed slowly, letting me watch my death as I fell slowly. Tch. No grim reaper would take my soul, neither a demon, there were too many dying around me. Five floors of the school and I fell off of the top floor. I wouldn't survive this. I'd pass it on to Viridian but I didn't know where she even was. Four. I smiled as I fell, in my eyes slowly, not seeing my cinematic record. Three. I was sorry. I closed my eyes, accepting the inevitable. Tw-

The feeling stopped. It was pitch black. Was I dead? No, I still had my eyes closed. I was weightless, but... There was a force tugging on me. Humans cannot reject temptation. When they are plunged into the depths of despair, likened to hell, they will hold on to anything that may help them escape from the situation they are in, even if it's merely a spider's thread, no matter what sort of humans they are. Was that it? Were those the words that helped me?

"Open your eyes you idiot!" What? "I can't hold all day," the laugh. "I only have one hand holding you ya know!" I opened my eyes slowly. "Dude! Just hurry up already!" The command hit me straight. "Pleased to meet you. Viridian San Dero," she laughed. I smiled to see the Filipina girl who looked slightly Korean holding me onto me. It seems like she did it in a metaphorical sense before but now she literally was holding onto me. "I'm gonna pull you up okay?" She said with her single hand through the window.

Could she really do that? "Just hold onto me." I held on tightly to her arm as she held on mine. She had caught me early so it was awkward to be holding her like this. I used the ledge as boost up. I heard a clatter as she moved her other hand. She then moved it to help me up.

"Gotcha," I reached the windowsill then she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me in.

"I'm sorry," I said as we stood there, her arms still wrapped around me. "I let you down."

"Shut up."

"What?" She pulled away from me.

"You're an idiot you know that?" She glared at me. "You shouldn't be sorry for your mistakes. You learn from them... Besides." Her glare turned into a smile. "You didn't let me down. You can't let me down." She hugged me tightly... I returned it. "Now," she pulled away... If only it was longer- what am I saying? "We need to find Lizzy... And avoid Alois and them."

"You mean the bizarre doll..." I took a look at her, noticing that she was missing her blazer. "What happened to your blazer?

"Blood."

"What?"

"Not mine, somebody else's though. I saw my friends turn... But I- we have to keep going," she bit on her bottom lip to fight off her tears. "We need to find not only Lizzy I mean, but Sebastian, possibly William, Grell and Undertaker if you want them to come."

"There's a problem though," I said as we were about to go. "The contract between Sebastian and I... It isn't working," she noticed that I had flipped my eye patch up.

"... I figured," she sighed. "I guessed that once you came over into this world, any powers that anyone had would be invalid. Your contract still works but Sebastian can't get to you as fast since he can't use his inhuman speed." That was it huh? Wait. How did she manage to avoid all the zombies? Her black tights had no rips, her shoes weren't scuffed as usual. Her tie was still done up and her white shirt was still in order, only her blazer was missing. That was when I noticed something.

"Damn my sword"-

"Woah!" I backed away from her. "You have a sword?!"

"You have a gun so don't judge me."

"Touche..." I realised what the clatter I heard was when she went near the window sill and grabbed a sword in it's scabbard off of the table. "But why'd you have one?"

"I'm part of a lot of clubs at school," she said. "Martial Arts Club is one of them. I learnt kendo, I'm the only one who has a real sword but we only use wooden swords in practice," I gave her a weird look. I was right. This girl was crazy.

We ran through the halls. These bizarre dolls that we were dealing with were different. In my world they could sense us because of our souls but here they were responding to sound. We had to keep our footsteps quiet, crouch in corners etc. They littered the halls. Everywhere.

"Damn," Viridian whispered, she sighed then shrugged her shoulders as she stood up. "Only one thing to do."

"What are you doing?" I said as she went away from the crouching corner. "Are you really going?"

"You following?" Viridian waited for my answer. I nodded. She had her hand on the sword by her side, ready to attack if anything happened. I stayed close behind her. If we stayed quiet then we'd be safe. Crash. Damn it.

"Stay close to me," a familiar voice said.

"Is that Edward?" Viridian whispered. "We need to go"- before she could finish I ran ahead.

"Edward!" I saw Edward and Lizzy together, thank God, they were still alive. But they were being attacked by them.

"Move Ciel!" Viridian charged at the bizarre dolls. That's when I saw it. Her face was lit up with absolute joy when her sword sliced their heads off. When her sword impalled itself in their heads. We had only just come here and she had finished off most of them. With the final one, she kicked it's chest, causing it to fall to the ground then stabbed it through it's eye socket... That accuracy. She panted hard and pulled her sword out.

"Ciel!" Lizzy jumped at the sight of me. Edward as usual, did not approve of her doing so yet he held his comments in. "Are you okay?"

"Lizzy I'm fine," I whispered. "But we have to be quiet. They react to sound." Where ever they got their swords from, I don't know, I was just glad they could protect themselves. She nodded at this.

"Hey, who's your friend?" She said, looking at Viridian as she flicked blood off of her sword.

"Hey," Viridian stood up and approached us. "I'm Viridian. You're Elizabeth and that's your brother Edward right?" Lizzy didn't seem too surprised as she just simply nodded.

"Anyway," Edward interrupted. "We have see if there are any survivors..." He looked at me. "And find your butler." I guess he knew who was in this world too.

"Thanks," I nodded to him.

"I'll go first," Edward said brandishing his sword again. "You guys follow behind me. Lizzy, stay really close to me okay?"

"Okay." Lizzy followed then Viridian then me bringing up the rear. It wasn't really good for me to bring up the rear since I only had a gun, and the shots would only bring more of them, besides, I only had six bullets left. But I had to protect the girls and Edward, I'd give my life fot Lizzy and Edward... Possibly Viridian. No it was stupid of me to say that. She had saved my life so I could at least return the-

"Ciel," Viridian grabbed my wrist. "Hurry up. We need to scan this place as fast as possible."

"Let go of me," I tugged myself off. "I''ll hurry up." I did as she told me to. The ICT rooms were empty and destoryed, computers were smashed, papers were littered. The art rooms were the same as well. When we came to the music rooms though... Viridian's eyes looked like they were about to produce a waterfall.

"Hey," I put my hand on her shoulder. "You alright?" She brushed my hand off.

"Yeah... I'm fine..." Edward looked at her. We all could tell she wasn't alright.

"We should move on," Edward said. "if there isn't anything of..." He stopped when he saw that Viridian had taken something from the desk. "You got whatever you need?" Viridian nodded slowly. "Okay," he turned to the door and looked out of its window. "We should leave..." He froze when he looked into the hall. "They're out there..."

So here we were, trapped in a music room... With Viridian... A musical prodigy. I knew this was her favourite hangout so she was just sitting in the corner poking at the wall, trying to touch anything.

"Hey Ciel," Edward smiled at me. Wait he was smiling at me? "I still don't acknowledge you as my brother-in-law. If we do make it out of this, I still don't want you to take my sister's hand in marriage..." He paused. "You can take her hand in marriage," I literally silently flipped out.

"Don't say such things as that!" I whispered. Lizzy turned around but then went to Viridian's side. We both turned to look at her and secretly listen in on their conversation.

"Hey..." Lizzy whispered as she crouched beside Viridian. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah..." Viridian answered. "Just trying to hold back on trying not to play the instruments," she laughed. Was she really that addicted to music?

"It's cool that you know how to play them," Lizzy laughed with a smile. Oh good. They were getting along. If two of the most important girls in my life were happy, then... Did I just say Viridian was important? I could've laughed at the thought. I didn't think she thought I was important. She was just trying to get me out of this world and using me for the play... Which I doubted would ever happen now. I didn't know why she saved me when I fell though that- There was a whirr of some sort of device... It sounded familiar. Viridian turned her head around, her dark eyes glinting as if it was calling to her.

"Viridian," when I called her name she ignored me, grabbing her sword and proceeding to the door. "Get back here!" I half whispered and shouted. And she ignored me again. She unlocked the door quietly then went outside.

"What is she doing?" Edward stood up from the chair and went after her.

"Lizzy come on," I waited for Lizzy to grab her sword before we left the music room.

"That's"-

"My my!" The red head said. Okay I realised that rhymed. "So many of these things and only me?" He chimed. His long red hair was caked with blood as he fought against the bizarre dolls with his chainsaw death scythe.

"Grell!" Viridian stepped onto the scene with her sword. "I got your back!" Again, she disposed of all the bizarre dolls like before. Forget music, art and all that, this was what I think she trully enjoyed. It scared me to think that this was possibly the real her. Of course, it could've just been a reaction to these events, but, something told me that it was more than that.

"Grell!" She hugged the red reaper as the three of us just stood there in silence."It's so good to see you're safe!"

"Of course I am," he wrapped one arm around her, the other holding his death scythe. "You know that even without my powers, I can still face those things." He patted her head. "Now," he adjusted his red skull chain glasses. "Care to explain?"

"I see," Grell said. "So Bassy's gone somewhere. And I can't find Will or the Undertaker."

"Exactly," Viridian said, now the both of them leading and Edward bringing up the rear. "We're trying to find survivors as well." I really didn't like teaming up with Grell, but for some odd reason, Viridian really had taking a liking to him. It was official. They were both idiots.

"So..." Lizzy said. "If you're Grell... Then that must mean you used to be Aunt Ann's butler..." Grell looked down at her. She had to bring that up...

"Anyway," I said, trying to veer off course of the conversation. "The last part where we haven't checked is the PE department and library."

"I suggest we go to the PE department first," Edward said. "At least you can pick up something rather than a gun."

"Ah yes, I was wondering what you were doing with out protection," Grell said. I held in my curses as we went to the PE department.

Quick and easy. I grabbed a spear, this school and their sojutsu, kendo and probably ninjitsu. We had to check the library, the last unchecked area. There was only problem. The library was literally a labyrinth, there were no chairs, just a maze of book cases.

"I'll guard the door, in case they try to get in," Edward said. "Viridian, you lead," he whispered to her something. "I don't trust the others," is what I vaguely heard. She gave him a look then nodded, readying her sword.

Left. Forward. Straight. Straight. Right. No, back. It was an endless sequence of turns. I looked back. Where was Lizzy? I looked forward. Now where were Grell and Viridian.I went back. I had to find Lizzy first. Then there was a scream.

"Lizzy!" I ran back through the bookshelf maze. When I found her, two arms came through the book case and were trying to pull her through as she desperately tried to get away. Her sword on the ground. I reached for it and used it on the arms. I cut one off so that Lizzy would manage to get free but then... Everything toppled. Masses of books landing with loud thuds.

"Oh looky at what we have here!"~ A familiar eeire cackle said.

"Wha..." Lizzy was free but it was some how still alive,one arm less and trying to squirm out from under the bookshelf. I glared at it then stepped on it's head. Dead. "Where did that voice from earlier come from?"

"Over heeeere little ladyyyyy," came the voice. We looked around until we saw it.

"Undertaker?" We looked at the grey haired ex-shinigami under all the books. "What were you doing here?"

"Oh you know Earl~ Just checking out books till this is all over~" Then I realized.

"You're behind this aren't you?!" I accused. He giggled as I drew my gun.

"I'm afriad this time it isn't me. I don't even know why we're here so whyyy would I~ let the bizarre dolls through?" He cackled. I put my gun away as Viridian and Grell found us.

"You idiot!" Grell scolded. "They're going to come"- then he noticed Undertaker. "What did you do to him?!"

"Leave me here"~ he laughed. "I want to take a lookie here at all the books here." Viridian gave him a weird look.

"Are you sure Undertaker?" Viridian kneeled down. "We can take you with us."

"Nooooope!" He said. "If you do make it out alive I'll give you a little bone shaped biscuit!" Okay? Viridian stood up. "You should go if you do want a biscuit!" Viridian smirked.

"You heard him guys," Viridian said. "Hey, do you at least want to get out of there?"

"Nooo"~ he chimed. "It's quite comfortable here." Viridian took one last look before we went back to Edward.

"What was that?" Edward said as we ran out of the library. "They're gonna come swarming."

"One attacked us and knocked over the shelves," Lizzy said. "We've checked the whole school. There's no other places"-

"What about Sebastian!" Viridian blurted out. "He's still there somewhere."

"We have no time!" I shot back at her. Edward and Lizzy looked surprised. "I know he's... Yeah. But he's my butler, he'll find us," I put a hand on her shoulder. "He is one hell of a butler," she looked up. Wow, it felt good to say his catchphrase! Now I could see why so many people over reacted over it.

"Hmph," Viridian smiled. "Fine then we should leave then."

The parking lot. We couldn't trust Grell to drive. Our only option was Edward. Edward was only, what sixteen? I'm pretty sure he knew how to-

"Help!" A few students ran towards us. Then I saw who they were. "Ciel!"

"Alois?!" Viridian glared at the group coming. He had about two others, a girl with glasses and a boy. "Fine then." What?! She almost jumped out of a window because of him. She could clearly see the look on my face. "We can't leave anyone behind. We need to protect people." As much as I hated to say it, she was right. Then they started pouring out of the school. "Ciel, you guys get a school bus."

"What?" Lizzy looked at her in horror. We all knew what she was going to do. "Viridian!" Edward tugged her back.

"Lizzy no!" Lizzy struggled against him. "She told us to get one of the school buses!"

"Edward!" She turned to him. "We can't just leave he"-

"Don't worry Lizzy!" Viridian shouted back as she drew her sword. "I'll be fine."

"Viridian!"

"No need to worry about that young mistress!" Sebastian! We turned to see a small school bus zooming towards us. "Move." We then realised what he was going to do and moved out of the way. Then I saw the extra passengers. William and... Ronald? Oh God. When Viridian saw him, she would definitely scream. The bus narrowly missed Viridian as she dived away then it crashed into the hoard that approached.

"So then," Viridian said as she helped Alois and the other two up. "If you're tagging along, I suggest you three hop on quickly." They nodded and ran to the bus as William opened the back door for them to get in. We followed as Viridian fought.

"Viridian come on!" Grell shouted from the window.

"Hey! You guys come to me, I'm in the way of the gate anyway!" That request was crazy.

"Everyone!" Sebastian shouted. "Close the back door and buckle up!" No! He wasn't serious. Edward closed the back and got back into his seat, following everybody who was buckling their seat belts. "Get ready!" That's was all we got before Sebastian stomped on the gas. Lizzy held onto Edward, William and Ronald braved the force as I clutched the arm rests. Wait. Grell was holding onto a rail and standing up, no, he was moving to the front door. I braved it and looked out of the window. The door opened up as we drew closer to Viridian.

"Viridian!" At the call of her name, Viridian turned and put her sword away. She outstretched her hand as more of them came at her. "Grab on!" At that her hand grasped Grell's. Grell pulled her on board as they tumbled to the floor. "Quick, get up and get to a seat!" They both got up and sat down, buckling their seat belts.

"Hold on!" We braced ourselves. The gate was in the way. Was he going to- I moved into the brace position for impact. Sound faded. Then we crashed.
