Okay, chappie 10! This chapter my...dark side comes out a little bit? Yea, we'll go with that, my dark side. Oh and there is a very big surprise in this chapter! So get to reading and remember to review!

Claude and I made it home along with everybody else. As we walked through the door I noticed that Undertaker was patching up Mey-Rin with some sterile bandages. I quickly walked over to her and she stared at me with happy eyes. How could she be happy with me, I left her there bleeding.

"Did you get him at least?" She asked. Her glasses were now back on and her voice had changed back to what it usually was. That odd raspy voice only she could probably achieve.

I couldn't even say anything to her. I was too ashamed. If only I could have done something! She wouldn't have gotten hurt like she did. I should have stayed with her, to help her when she needed it most

"Miss Island if you don't cheer up then I'll be forced to take drastic measures, yes I will." She said while giving me a hug with her free arm. I returned it happily and let a smile of relief find its way to my face. So she wasn't totally disgusted with me. I could cry.

"Thank-you Mey-Rin. And yes, Sebastian should have already brought him in. At least I'm assuming he has." I said while crossing my arms and thinking about whether or not he would have made it home by now.

"That butler was dragging a man down to the dungeons." Undertaker chuckled. Closing up his bag that he used on me to too awful long ago. Since when does this place even have a dungeon?

"Undertaker, please take me there then." It was then I felt something place itself on my waist. Looking around I saw Sebastian staring down at me.

"There's no need for that. He is chained up good and tight. You need to change your clothes my young mistress. Come along now." He began to pull me, literally, up the stairs and into my room, leaving behind Undertaker and Mey-Rin.

Sebastian opened the door and led me inside. I went and sat on my bed, hugging my knees to my chest as I thought about the current situation that was presented before me. "Sebastian, can I ask you something?"

He stopped rummaging through my clothes and gave me his full attention. "Of course my young mistress. You may ask me anything." He said while placing a hand on his chest and giving a small bow.

"What should I do now that I have that man? I mean I want him to die for what he's done, but he kept mentioning something about a supreme leader. He also said that it was my parents in particular they were after. I have the assumption that there's more than one of these devoted followers." I finished.

Sebastian came over and sat down beside me on the bed. "If it were up to me I would interrogate that man until he gave us all the information we need. How many there are, who he is, who his supreme leader is, and why your parents in particular. I would be happy to do this for you. All you must do is give the order my lady." He seemed a bit to happy about this whole situation. I guess it's been awhile since he's seen any real action, as awful as that sounds.

"Give the order...yes." I began to realize just how nasty my shirt was and I actually had a full body shiver. Sebastian noticed and of course took the opportunity to tease me about it in some way. He had been slacking off a bit with his advances but something told me that they would come back with a vengeance.

"Are you cold my lady? I could assist in warming you up a bit." He smirked through that awful smile of his. I saw his arm reaching for me and I smacked it away playfully, narrowing my eyes at his.

I gave off a sigh and replied with a very childish term. A term that I would have to be more careful of using when around him. "Oh bite me Sebastian." I got up and went over to my drawer, going to find myself a new outfit to wear because these bloody clothes weren't going to do.

I didn't notice the expression that Sebastian had or the small remark that he made. "As you wish my young mistress." He got up from the bed and crept up behind me placing both hands on my hips before descending to my neck where he bit me very hard, drawing a small amount of blood. He then proceeded to lick the blood away before pulling back, satisfied with himself.

"Ouch! What was that for, that really hurt!" I said while furiously rubbing my neck in an attempt to get the sting to go away. It helped more than I thought it would.

"You said bite me, so I bit you like I was ordered to." He gave a smile and I immediatly deadpanned. I was close to actually smacking myself for saying something like that to him.

"I really need to watch what I say around you." I muttered. I walked to the bathroom and took a very short bath. I scrubbed the areas in which his blood had touched me and then I put on some clothes. Shorts and a tank top. I'm a firm believer in tank tops, if you haven't noticed. I emerged from the shower to see Sebastian waiting for me at the door.

"Would you like to be present for the interrogation?" He asked while placing his hand on the doorknob. He was anxious to get this started and I could tell.

"Yes I would. This man was part of the people who killed my parents. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Let me get this though." I went over a grabbed a notepad and pencil. There was no way I was going to miss anything this guy said. I also grabbed a tape recorder, just for good measures.

We were about to leave when another thought suddenly struck me. "Sebastian I have another question for you. And I order you to tell the truth." I said with me hands firmly on my hips.

"I could never lie to you anyways. What is your question my lady?" He asked.

"Why is there a picture of me sleeping on your table in your room? And I'm sorry for snooping but I just could pass it up. Especially if it involved me." I finished while crossing my arms to get my point across.

"Because my lady, I simply adore looking at you. It makes me desire you more than I already do. Now, shall we go and see just who that man actually is?" He opened the door and motioned his other hand to it, signaling me that he REALLY wanted to go ahead and start.

"Of course. Though you know of course that you'll be the one doing it right? You're much more intimidating than a small seventeen year old girl." We walked down the hallway and the stairs, to a part of the mansion that I didn't even know existed. Like Mey-Rin had done, he went over to a painting in the entrance hall and opened it up, revealing an archway winding down a dimly lit corridor. Creepy much?

"I take it that's the dungeon?"

"You people will never get a scrap of information out of me! I'd rather die that tell you anything!" The mans screams echoed off the walls of the corridor and it only made my blood boil. Does he honestly thing he'll be able to keep his mouth shut with Sebastian around? Honestly, the nerve of some people.

"Well, let's go." I took the first step in and immediatly wished that I hadn't. I scurried back out and Sebastian looked at me very confused. "On second thought, how about you go first and I follow. I mean you know the way better right? Hehe..."

"Are you afraid my lady?" He suddenly asked.

"Afraid! Ha! No...Forgive me for not wanting to walk down a dust covered, mold growing, dark creepy candle lit dungeon. It's no big deal." I said while ushering him on. He held out his arm and I accepted. Once we had taken a few steps in, the painting behind us swung shut on its own.

I jumped and was calmed by the hand that was placed overtop of mine. "Please calm down. I would never let anything hurt you, besides I was the one who closed the door so there's no need to be so alarmed."

"Yea well, I'm still not use to you and your demon powers. All I want right now is to find out everything we can from that man. His name, how many of them there are, who his leader is, and why my parents in particular. For now that's all I want to know." I stated.

As we walked I noticed a light down at the end of the tunnel, I also heard the rattling of chains and the aggravated grunts of that man. We entered a dimly lit room and I was amazed at what was down here.

"Are you serious Sebastian? This is like a torture chamber from the medieval times." I said while glancing around at all the devices that were present. After my small look around the room, my eyes suddenly fell on him. Sebastian had let me go once we entered the room and was standing on the sidelines, awaiting my orders I suppose.

"Well, hello there Island. And how are you this evening?" He spat.

"I could say that I'm a lot better than you. Now I'm only going to say this once so listen up. I want answers and if I think that you're lying to me, I'll torture you until you wish you were dead. Is that clear?" I stood in front of him and he struggled against the chains. He was standing up with his wrist bound to the wall, his arms slightly above his head.

I gave a glance to Sebastian and he immediatly walked forward, standing by my side to assist me. "Alright, the first thing I want to know is your name. You at least owe me that much."

"I owe you nothing you little brat!" He gathered a fair amount of spit and launched it at me with such a force it landed on my forehead. I disgusted away and went to wipe it off, but was stopped quickly.

"Allow me my lady." Sebastian bent down and held my head with one hand while the other wiped off the vile liquid with a cloth he plucked from his pocket. Once he was done, he turned to the man and let him have it across the cheek. I've never seen a punch thrown so forcefully...it was kind of...a turn on for me. Wow, did I just say that in a situation like this? Maybe I should just go to sleep for awhile.

"You should know better than that good sir. My lady if to high above you to have any of your bodily fluids near her. If you were wise, you would be careful not to do it again. Now I believe she asked you a question if I'm not mistaken?" Sebastian once again stood back and cracked his knuckles a bit. He was currently gloveless and I noticed that his fingernails were black. I had never noticed such a thing before, must be a perk of being a demon.

"She can ask me questions all day long and I'll never answer her!" The mans head had been shoved to the side due to the amount of force Sebastian gave to him. His lip was now busted and a thin line of blood was trailing out of his mouth.

"Sebastian. I don't care how you do it; get me the answers that I want." I said sternly, crossing my arms across my chest and awaiting for the show.

"As you wish." Sebastian once again cracked his knuckles and once he was close enough, his hand shot out and grabbed him by the throat. "I can only assume that you did this to my young mistress earlier today. Judging from the bruises on her neck I'd say you did it about like this."

Sebastian squeezed the mans throat very hard when finally we were making some progress. "A-A-Alright! A-Alright!"

Sebastian retracted his hand and the man let out a stream of coughs. Doesn't feel to geed does it you old bat. "M-My name Is Braxton. Braxton Rider."

"Good. Now for the next question, how many of these 'devoted followers' are there in your group?" I eyed him down and when he refused to speak I gave a glance toward Sebastian. Once his advances toward Braxton started, blue eyes widened at the thought.

"No wait! Just wait for a second...there are only five including myself. Most people didn't quite agree with our plans and they refused to cooperate with us." His voice was becoming ragged and his wrists had started to bleed from the amount of pulling he was doing.

"Only five? That makes this easier then. Next question...why my parents? Why did you specifically target my parents?" I felt my voice breaking slightly, but I was soothed by the hand that trailed itself up and down my back softly.

"You're parents...they were geniuses. They were working on a project in foreign countries that was going to put us out of business. The supreme leader doesn't like sharing his title of best technology inventor so he chose to get rid of them. If he got rid of them he gets rid of the project they were working on and got rid of the two smartest people in the modern technology world. Simple as that."

A loud smack was suddenly heard and my hand burned significantly. "How dare you. You killed them because he was afraid of coming in second place! Where's the justice of that! You took away two innocent lives because they were doing their job! How dare you!" I screamed. I was sure that my small fit could be heard all through the mansion.

"My lady...if you wish, I can finish up here and call for you when it is over." I heard Sebastian offer. He had true worry lacing his voice and it kind of touched me. It wasn't the usual teasing that I was accustom to by now, it was true genuine worry.

"No. I'm seeing this through till the end. I won't rest until I get everything out of him that I want. Even if it takes all night." I narrowed my eyes at him and he looked away almost immediatly. "Next question, what are the names of all these followers. I want first and last.

"Will you let me live if I tell you?" He suddenly asked. He was practically begging without knowing it at this point. Score one for me.

"It depends if I think you're telling me the truth or not. You wouldn't want Sebastian to come over there again would you?" I threatened.

He was about to respond when Sebastian cut it, he seemed to be enjoying himself immensely. "The moment she stated my name you heart rate sped up dramatically. Tell me am I honestly that terrifying?" He gave off a small dark chuckle and only scared Braxton even more.

"I'll tell you, just don't come anywhere near me!" Braxton screamed out through even more ragged pants. "As I said, there are five of us. You already know me, my name Is Braxton Rider. I'm the one our supreme leader goes to when he wants me to orchestrate what needs to be done. I guess there's no point it hiding it now, I'm the one who came up with the idea that killed you parents."

"You've very stupid to openly admitting that to their daughter, you know that." I'm sure my lips were in a thin line.

"B-But you said you were thinking about not killing me!"

"I never said anything of the sort, now keep going before Sebastian gets friendly again. As if on cue, Sebastian walked closer to Braxton and you would have though he was molding to the wall while he tried to get away from him.

"But-fine. I'll answer your question. There are two more men and two female. The men are Alec Gray and Reed Osric. The females are Jocelyn Chambers and Bell Clarice. That's all of them, I swear."

"Only a few more questions and you're done Braxton. You've been very helpful to me, you know that? Now what is the name of your supreme leaders business?"

"Our business is called, EuroTech. We deal with modern technology within the European section of the world." I was happy that he wasn't putting up much of a fight at this point, but honestly it wasn't going to do him much good at this point. I could tell that he was very tired.

"Now, you're supreme leader has you kill off anyone that could possibly get in his way right?"

"Right."

"So you must have a preferred method of killing off these people. How do you usually do it? Surely something as complicated as blowing up a plane isn't your everyday plan." I finished, there was a specific reason that I asked this question and he would soon find out why. Very soon in fact.

"Usually I just shoot them in the head. It gives them a quick death and me a quick getaway." He stated a bit nervously. I saw him continuously lick his lips, like his mouth was dry.

"Sebastian, get me a glass out water from that faucet over there." Sebastian wasn't really sure why I was asking but before this man answered my final question, I wanted his mouth to be in the best condition it could be. I wanted to hear this next part perfectly.

Sebastian came back over with the glass of water in his hand. "Here you are my lady."

I took the water from him and went over, holding it up you his mouth. He shied away from it and refused to take a sip. "This water isn't poisoned so here, enjoy a drink. Before I ask my final question."

He hesitantly took a sip and seemed a bit grateful when moisture was once again returned to his dying mouth. I sat the cup down on a nearby table and looked at him. "Now, my final question. What is the name of your supreme leader?"

"...Aleister Thorne...now are you going to let me live or not!" He shouted out, thrusting his while body forward but getting jerked back instantly from the chains on his wrists.

"Aleister Thorne...very good Braxton. You've performed excellent with me today. Sebastian."

I motioned for him to come over and I pulled his head down so I could whisper something in his ear. Once I was finished he stood up and gave a small bow, exiting the room in silence.

"W-Where's he going? Huh, where's he going!"

"He's going to get a little present for you. Like I said, you've done excellent for me today and you deserve to be rewarded with a little gift." I gave him a dark smirk and he froze in terror. With a quickly though popping into my mind, I went over to a shelf and pulled off a spare piece of cloth that was dangling from it. I walked over to Braxton and tied it around his eyes. "Now, now Braxton this present is a surprise. Can't have you peeking now can we?"

Sebastian returned moments later with Braxton's little gift held in his hand. "Sebastian...I'm going to need your help. I don't think I can do it by myself." I said while staring straight ahead of me. At the man that had helped take so much away from me.

"Of course my young mistress. As you wish." Sebastian suddenly came up behind me and reached his arms out, holding my hand that held the gift for Braxton.

"Braxton Rider you are nothing more than a criminal who doesn't care about anyone. Today you will suffer the same conscience that you have inflicted upon others. Upon my parents. You'll now receive you're present, one you have given to so many others. I do hope that you enjoy it."

I began to tug slightly on the present and Sebastian helped me along, pushing my index finger down onto a small lever. A lever that emitted a loud boom throughout the dungeon. Braxton's blood splattered onto my face as the bullet pierced his head, killing him the way he claimed to kill others.

Sebastian noticed my discomfort and took the smoking pistol away from my hand, setting it down into the nearby table. "Are you alright my lady? This must be something that has never even crossed you mind."

"No. It has crossed my mind, but the action of doing it...the after effect that I feel...is something that didn't."

I turned to look at him and he gave me a soft smile. He walked over to me and took my head in his hands, staring at me intently. He took his thumb and wiped off the small fleck of blood from my face, cleaning them away from my skin.

"My young mistress, please forgive me in advance but...you look so desirable when you have blood staining that lovely face of yours."

By now I was use to Sebastians little comments, and usually after he said them, he gave me some space. But this time he wasn't, he instead kept a firm hold onto my head while his own leaned in.

"Sebastian...what do you think you're doing?" I asked with a fair bit of uncertainty lingering in my already shaking voice.

He said nothing, not a word. I don't think I even heard him breathing. All I knew is that he was getting closer to me until it happened. I felt his hand trailed down from my face to my neck where he once again kept a firm hold on me.

I was at a loss for words, I was at a loss for any coherent thought that may try to pop up, and I was at a loss for anything. I felt his hand go to mine, where he grabbed them and led them to his own neck. My hand tangled in his silky hair and we danced together in perfect harmony. I felt a small stinging sensation on my bottom lip and a whimper escaped me, giving him the perfect opportunity to explore forbidden territory.

After several more seconds, he pulled away and stared deep into my green eyes. He smirked at the small blush that was present on my face and I looked away from him quickly. He let his hands rest on my hips before going to the area of my neck. I suppose snuggling would be the proper term for what he was doing at the moment.

"I told you Island...don't tease me." He whispered. It tickled against my neck and made me shy away a bit.

"Sebastian...honestly. How in the world did I do anything when we're in a place like this?" I could truly say that I never expected my first kiss to be in a deep, dark dungeon with a bloodied body at my feet. But who has?

"Just the way his blood splattered onto your elegant face made me lose it slightly. As I said, please forgive me for my actions."

I gave off a sigh as I felt him smirk against my neck. It must hurt his back having to bend down so far. I'm not exactly what you call tall. "You're forgiven I suppose."

I unwrapped my arms from his and he pulled away from me, standing at his full height. "Is that code for you enjoyed it my lady?"

I once again felt my face flush red and I began to walk back up toward the entrance hall. "Shut up Sebastian. And please clean this up. I'm going to take a shower."

I heard him chuckle while replying. "As you wish, my young mistress."
