Chapter 10: Dance With the Devil

Hey!

Many may already know this, but I've decided to make every chapter title the title of a song. I have mentioned this song once, but for those who don't know, its Dance With the Devil by Breaking Benjamin.

The pic, is of Sebastian and Catherine, just so you know. I finally got a pic!

Anyways, I don't own Kuroshitsuji/ Black Butler! Enjoy!

Catherine's POV

I had finally returned home. Edward was once again angry at me for ditching him for so long. I was now in my office. I had stacks of papers piled high on top of my desk.

"A letter from the queen, M'lady." Edward handed me a letter and I slowly opened it with a letter opener.

"Alois Trancy and I are paired for a mission?" I asked.

"I suppose so, M'lady."

"Very well, prepare the carriage."

"Very good, M'lady." He smiled and disappeared out the door. I turned around and opened the window behind me. I jumped out and quickly formed in mid-air. I ran through the 'meadow' behind the Manor, and made my way to the Phantomhive Mansion.

When I arrived in the backyard, Finny was messing around with the garden.

"Hi, Catherine!" I formed back and smiled to him.

"How did you-"

"The young Master and Sebastian were overheard by Mei-Rin and she told us everything. Don't worry, we know Sebastian is a demon too."

"Thanks for not, freaking out. You know where I can find Ciel right now?"

"He would probably be in his studies, but he may also be with a client to work with Funtom too. You should find Sebastian, he'd know. But, it is always hard to find that creeper."

"Thank-thank you!" I tried my best not to laugh when he called Sebastian a creeper. I walked inside and bumped into the devil.

"Catherine... what lovely timing you have." I could hear sarcasm drip from Sebastian's mouth.

"Yes, and so do you." I scrunched up my nose and locked eyes with him. "I need to speak with Ciel."

"He is busy with a client right now. You will have to wait."

"Bullshit! I need to see him now. It's about the Queen's spider." (A/N: sorry about the language :3)

"Catherine, you really should-"

"I'm going up anyways. Unless you have a good excuse to stop me."

"Why so fixed on talking to him now? What will it accomplish?"

"Edward, knows I'm coning to see him, and eventually he will get tired of me always running off. I need to hurry."

"Catherine, what if I help you this time? Ciel will be fine with the trio. I'll let them know I'm heading off."

"But Edward-"

"Will have to dal with me."

"Are you sure he'll be fine?"

"He may be mad, but I'll explain. Later, are you ready to go?" I nodded and lead him back to the Manor.

xXx

We rode in the carriage together. Sebastian and Edward were fiercely glaring at each other.

"Cut it out already! I get you two don't like each other. Sebastian is only coming because he actually knows Claude!" I shouted at Edward.

"You really shouldn't strain you're voice like that, Young Lord." Edward replied. Don't give me that crap! I know you want to kill me for what I just said. I forced my words to stay down. I knew that saying that now would not be easy taking back.

As we arrived at the Trancy Estate, Alois and Claude greeted me excitedly.

"Awe, no Ciel? Did he perish miserably?" Alois snickered.

"Come on, Alois. Don't make it any worse. You know Sebastian is already in a bad mood because Edward is here." I flared my pink eyes at him for a moment.

"No fair, I want to do that! Claude, turn me into a demon!"

"No, you wouldn't like it. Trust me."

"Really? Whatever. So I'm guessing you got the letter?"

"As always..."

"Ok, follow me. We can discuss it inside." I nodded and slowly followed him inside. Before I could get near the door, Claude shoved me to a wall and held me still. He held me by my throat and shoulder.

"I suggest you do not get Alois killed because of your stupidity and carelessness. I know what you are, and who you are. I do hope that you understand that his soul is mine." Claude whispered in my ear. He quickly pulled me away and shoved me against the wall once more before walking away.

I held my throat coughing. Sebastian and Edward ran to my side instantly. I'm glad they knew better than to interfere. I nodded my head and began walking inside. We followed Alois and Claude to his studies.

"So, what is the crime?" Alois asked.

"I'm guessing you didn't bother reading it, and Claude did?" I asked.

"Yep, always!"

"Okay, anyways, it seems that a man around the age of seventy was living alone for ten years. He had one spare bedroom that he never used, but one day, he was sitting in his studies room and he heard an unusual noise coming from the room. He walked but found nothing. Each day he would hear the same noise, and check in the room, but go the same result. After a week he went in and saw a large, tall shadow cast on the wall. He said the eyes were as red as rubies; or a red-pink shade. He said he knew it was shadow and no one was inside so he report it to Scotland Yard. The day after reporting, the day the Scotland Yard was coming to investigate, he was found dead in the room with the shadow. He was lying on the floor In front of the bed. His eyes were wide open, and his pupils were very small. He was as pale as snow, as what the officers said. He had a small line of blood coming from a corner of his mouth. They have yet to preform an autopsies."

"So, a demon?"

"It seems very similar, but even then. A shadow cast on a wall... I only know of one demon that cast it's true form on a wall, them devours a soul."

"Which one?"

"The Werecat..."

xXx

We arrived at the house. When we entered, the officers warned us to leave immediately if we saw the shadow. I grinned at that. They seemed to already have lost an officer because they locked eyes with the creature. Though, that wasn't their exact words; they didn't know what killed the officer.

"I'm going to go take a look. You guys try to find out about the guy, and shadow." I said. Everyone nodded and separated.

Inside the room, the wall was blank. tape covered the floor in certain shapes, like a bed and dresser to mark where they once were. They had moved everything to search for evidence. The door behind me slammed shut. On the wall was the shadow. Glowing pink eyes starred me down. A menacing smile crept upon the face of the shadow.

"Catherine Yuri Demetrio, the only demon who'd never eat a soul. How... sad."

"who are you?"

"My name remains undecided. I have lived generations and have gone by Lucifer."

"Fuck!" I turned to the door trying to pry it open.

"Don't think that you can get away so fast, Catherine. I knew you'd do that."

"I don't get it. Why must you torture me? Why have you sent all of those demon ghouls after me? I was told Claude did it. Why pin it on him?"

"Because, you are special. You have the blood of a werecat and a human. No other demon is like that. I made you into a great creation. You should thank me."

"That didn't answer why they are still after me..."

"I want you to be with me. Join me, Catherine. Come to Hell. Be my lover, Catherine."

"The bride of Satan, that's a new excuse for not going to high school. How do I know this isn't a joke? How do I know I'm not just another petty food source for you?"

"Why would I devour a perfect creature like you? Do you understand how must of a resistance you put up? It was nearly impossible to create you."

"I'll make you a deal..."

"HA, a deal with the devil? Do you really care to dance that much?"

"I do care that much. Let me at least find my brother and kill my father and Edward. After that, I'm yours."

"Very well. I will see you when the time comes. I will warn you though. We will one day meet, and share a dance together. You will never even notice it is me, so be warned Catherine."

The door behind me opened. I ran out immediately. I collided with Sebastian.

"Sebastian..."

"Are you alright? You look like you lost your soul." I could tell he was kinda joking, but I wasn't.

"I did. I think I just made a deal with the devil."

So? I really actually liked this chapter.

Just to let you know, I may put Lucifer in more often. He may just help some... (hint hint)

I'm sure some of you are eager to see some rebellion against Edward, so I will be putting some into the next chapter.

Don't forget you can comment, request, ask questions, or criticize me. I'm totally cool with that.

So, please R&R and fav/follow! Thanks for reading, and stay safe!
