Moonlight: Hi everybody! I'm here again with I Found You! I don't own anything except Moonlight.
Chapter 9: Lacrimosa
Moonlight's POV
We stop at the huge oak door, leading to Ciel's study. I knock twice. "Come in." I hear Ciel say behind the door. I open the door, peering inside. Ciel was sitting at his desk, reading a letter of some sort. "Yes what is it?" He questions. "I'd like you to meet somebody, young master." I say politely, bowing. "Go on with it then." Ciel waves his hand, giving permission. I open the door wider, revealing the Cheshire Cat. Ciel looks up from reading, and has a shocked expression on his face. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Cheshire Cat. It is a pleasure to meet you…." Ciel straightens up. "Ciel Phantomhive." The Cat grins wider. "…Ciel Phantomhive. I'm afraid I must be staying here, in this lovely mansion, because I am a part of Moonlight's mind, you see, so I must." Ciel stutters. "Excuse me, but I never gave you permission to stay here!"
"Please, Ciel! I promise he won't be a nuisance! If he is, he'll no what's coming to him…." I glare at the Cat. Ciel was taken aback that I called him Ciel, just plain old Ciel. Nothing with it. Ciel sighs. "Fine, as long as you said, he's not a nuisance. And maybe he can get rid of all these rats infesting this mansion." I run up to him and hugged him. "Thank you, Ciel! You won't be disappointed!" and with that, I grabbed the Cat and ran out the door, almost crashing into Sebastian. I do a spin out of the way, continued running down the hall, now with the Cheshire Cat on my back. 'Whew that was close!' I thought. "What was close, Moonlight?" The Cat asked right next to my ear. "Can you read my mind or something?" I questioned him. "Of course. We are but the same mind, you see. Haven't I explained myself enough?" He states. "Oh, I guess that makes sence. Are you able to speak inside my mind then?" I ask, now curious. 'But of course!' Someone says in my mind. 'Interesting, so this means we can talk to each other far away then?' The Cat nods. "Indeed we can." I begin to think. 'Hmm, since he hasn't seen all of the mansion, I'd better give him a tour. Come to think of it, I haven't seen all of it either…'
The Cat snorts. "You've been living here for six months and you haven't seen all of the mansion?" I blush. "No, I guess not. But now's my chance to do so! Let's go!" The Cat sighs. "But we're already going, Moonlight. Honestly, how did you manage to stay alive all of these years without me?" I glare at him. "Oh, that was rude. I had forgotten that you wouldn't be alive without that jewel of yours." I ignored him. I stopped at a door that first came into sight. "Hmm, I wonder if I can go in here." I open the door, to see a library. "Well, this here is the library." I shut the door and go to another door nearby. I open it to see a pool table, a checkered bored, a table with cards, a shelve with game boards, and a table I'm suspecting all of the Funtom toys they have ever made. "Lol, there's a stuffed rabbit that looks like Ciel!" I giggle. "Indeed, to the next room!" The Cat commands. I huff, irritated, and closed the door. I walk to the next door, and opened it. I gasped. In it was to love seats across from each other, and besides them was a Grand Piano, made out of ebony. "A piano? It's been so long since I've played one…" I say as I walked over to it. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I lifted the lid, slid my fingers over the keys and shivered. The keys were made out of ivory.
I couldn't help myself but play the piano. I knew I was going to get in trouble, but I didn't care. I wanted to play the piano badly. I pull out the bench and sat down. The Cat jumped onto the piano. "Moonlight. Are you sure you wanted to do this? You know you're going to get in trouble." He warned. I sigh. "I know, but I don't care. Now shut up and listen." He grins wider, then disappears. I sigh again, happy that he disappeared. 'Finally, I can play…'
Sebastian's POV
I begin to hear piano playing softly. Ciel quiets drinking his tea and looks up at the door. "Young master? Young master, where are you going?" I call after Ciel, already knowing where he's going, but calling after him anyways. "Only one person can play like that, and that's my mother." Ciel says in a serious tone. We follow the sound to the piano room, the door ajar. I could see it was Moonlight playing. Before Ciel can open the door, I grab his shoulder. "Young master, leave her be. She seems to be enjoying herself. It would be rude to interrupt her." I say in a low voice. Ciel grunts, then I quietly open the door, leading Ciel to sit down to listen. Ciel sighs, seemingly enjoying himself too. I look up at Moonlight, to see tears streaming from her eyes. I quietly walk behind her, watching her hit the keys. She begins to slow down, then speeds up a little, then finally slows down, finally just playing with one hand, till she stops. I glance up at Ciel, to find him asleep. Moonlight sighs, clearly in bliss. She slides her fingers across the piano, sighing. "Very well done. You even managed to put the young master to sleep." I whisper next to her ear. She gasps, and stands up. I put my finger over my mouth, signaling her to be quiet. She wipes her tears away, clearly embarrassed. I walk over to Ciel, Moonlight following. I scoop him up, bridal style.
Moonlight's POV
I follow behind Sebastian, knowing I'm in trouble. Sebastian goes to Ciel's bedroom and I stop outside, waiting for him to come back out. After a couple of minutes, Sebastian comes back out, alone. He closes the door quietly, then turns to me. "Is there something you need?" He questions. I gasp outwardly. "I…. I'm not in trouble?" I stutter, surprised. "You somehow managed to make the master happy, and for that I am grateful. But Ciel said to me that only one person could play like that, and that was his mother, so it's probably why you weren't punished. And also, you played very nicely, well done." He congratulates. He congratulates. He congratulates? "B-but I didn't ask for permission! Shouldn't I be in trouble!" I questioned, confused. "Why are you getting so worked up about this? Shouldn't you be happy that you're not getting punished?" I look down. "I deserve to be punished. I broke the rules." I hear Sebastian gasp.
I look up to see him smiling. "Indeed, but you've made the master happy, and that's all that matters." Sebastian says, his eyes glowing those demon eyes of his. I was shocked. "Now then, it is getting late and you need to bed, young lady." Sebastian says, spinning me around, putting his hands on my shoulders and pushing towards my room. I smirk. "Oh, yea? Well you're going to have to force me then!" I shout (not real loud though XD) leaping away from Sebastian. Sebastian smirks. "Oh, really? Not much of a challenge there. If that's what you want, then you can go first." He says, bowing. I have my scythe appear in my hand. Sebastian appears behind me, holding my scythe. "No weapons, we are indoors." He then squeezes it, causing it to break into a million pieces. I leap away from him, but he appears beside me. I lunge my foot out, aiming for his face, but he simply dodges it. He then grabs my arm and pulls it behind me. I yelp from the pain. I twist around, lunging my foot out again. He simply grabs it and begins pushing it up. I bend backwards, sticking my arms out, doing a backwards flip thingy… I see Sebastian appear in front of me, and could feel him grabbing my legs. He then swings me over his shoulder. I struggle to get off of him, but he has a death grip on me.
I grunt, and Sebastian starts walking. "It appears that you've lost." I growl. "Oh, shut up. I don't need you rubbing it in my face." Sebastian chuckles. We stop at my bedroom door. Sebastian walks into my room, still carrying me. He sits me down on my bed, then quickly locks everything. "What are you doing that for?" I say, getting nervous. "I don't need you trying to escape." Sebastian simply says. 'Oh…' I think, embarrassed. Sebastian gets a nightgown out from my dresser, and walks over to me. He gets me dressed into my nightgown and I make my outfit disappear. I notice that I still have my locket on, and for the first time in a while, I remember someone. Tears well up in my eyes. Sebastian gets himself leveled with me and asks "Is something the matter?" I rub my eyes. "Nothing really important. It's just I'm remembering someone who was important to me." I reply. "Was?" Sebastian echoed. "Yes, she was my sister, Crystal. She was younger than me. Right now, she would be seven. She had sliver hair, like me. When I was ten, my sister didn't go to school yet so she stayed at home with my mother. I had gotten off of school, and I could see my sister running towards me across the street, all bubbly and happy, yelling 'Sissy! Sissy! I've missed you!' I was so happy. But when she ran out into the road, she was hit by a car. I heard my mother screech. Crystal died that day, right on the spot. I froze, everything flying by me. The person most important to me had been hit by a car and probably was dead. I could see people around me screaming and yelling, but I couldn't hear them."
I take a deep breathe, crying now. "I ran to Crystal, tears streaming down my face. When I got there, I could see her eyes were no longer a sapphire blue like mine, but a grey color. I could tell her neck was snapped in two, ribs broken, blood pooling around her. I scooped her up, shaking her, attempting to wake her up, thinking she might be alive, but she was just sitting there, being shaken by me." I was bawling now. "I was covered in my sister's blood, crying. I had to be pried away from my mother, her yelling at me that she was dead, but I couldn't let go. I couldn't bear to think that she was really gone." I was in Sebastian's arms now, him trying to comfort me. "I didn't speak for several months, not accepting her to be really gone. But finally, I accepted that she was gone. A day before she died was her birthday. I had given her my other locket, similar to this one but was squared instead. She said she'd treasure it forever. Indeed she would. She was buried with it. That's what was bothering me. And no, I don't know who the father was. Mother refused to tell me, and she never even told Crystal. In fact, she never told me that you were my father. She had told me that you were dead."
I had stopped crying now, but was still in Sebastian's arms. Sebastian stayed silent. I rested my head on his shoulder. He stood up, carrying me like a mother patting a baby's back. He held me like that for a while, then finally slipped me under the covers. He then kissed me on my forehead. "I will always be here for you. You do not need to worry, dearest." He whispers beside my ear. I weakly smile. "Yes, father." He stands ups, then leaves. I lay there awake, thinking about what just happened. I touch my locket, thinking about my sister. I sigh, then finally let sleep overcome me.
Moonlight: Aww, wasn't this a sad chapter? I had tears in my eyes as I wrote this. And lol, Sebastian and Moonlight were out of character, weren't they at the end? XD Anyways, the song she was playing on the piano (as if it weren't obvious) was Lacrimosa. Lacrimosa means weeping too btw. Anyways, hope you enjoyed!
