CHAPTER 11 [End of the Curse]
It was a gloomy afternoon, clouds covered the sky, the atmosphere was depressing and everyone was dressed in black. This was the funeral of Anne Maynard, the supposed bride of Andrew Narwhal. "Poor girl, she was found lifeless in an alley. Her body was stabbed all over, she was wearing her wedding dress too" a duchess was gossiping to a friend of hers "Please be quiet this is a funeral, your gossips can wait for some other time" Mr. Maynard scolded them. Andrew was still in shock and kept staring at Anne's coffin, not saying a word to anyone. The priest gave the final blessing and the coffin was moved to the tomb, as the guests left Andrew stayed behind "Andrew are you coming?" his mother asked he shook his head "I wish to stay with her longer" he finally replied. "Ok then, we'll go ahead" he remained silent and his family left as well. "Don't worry Anne, we'll be together in the next life… I'll make sure of it" Ana alarmed at this statement took a look at Andrew's expression, it was a the of psychotic grin of a man who has lost his mind "You think so too right?" Andrew was now looking at Ana. "Wha?" Ana was frozen stuck and couldn't move, she looked at Sebastian and it seems that he too was stuck, following the principle that he is tied to Ana.
I-impossible! This is a memory no one should be interacting with us! Unless… Andrew's soul! It was tied along with the curse! The string was one of a dead man's so I wasn't able to recognize it, this bad we fell into a trap!
"Enough of memory viewing, now that I have you Anne and I can be together once more" Andrew tied Ana to a chair and Sebastian to another "What do you plan on doing?" Sebastian asked him "Simple this girl will be the vessel for Anne's soul and you cute girl have brought me a splendid present; a demon. A perfect soulless vessel for me to inhabit" Andrew laughed like a fool and kept dancing around.
This is bad; with this I have no choice but to do "that"
"You know it was hard for me to find Anne's vessel for me a healthy man could easily hold me but Anne's soul was strong and pure so her vessel was a bit hard to find, I tried to get from my family since they all have strong bodies. You see the women in my family take up fencing but it all failed." The world showed the various girls used for Anne's vessel "I found one perfect vessel exactly like Anne, she was beautiful but the day I came to collect her she died. So sad" it then flashed a picture of Niina
Niina! She was a candidate vessel, did she know? Heh… I may never know anymore. I have to get us out of here before I think like this….
"Why are the women all dressed in white and slashed all around? If their bodies couldn't take the soul then wouldn't only their internals be damaged?" Sebastian asked "Ah… I had to hide a mark on their back that would let Anne's soul get in but to cover it up I had to put them in that same state as Anne was found when she died" Andrew kept dancing happily "But the long wait is over I finally found my bride's vessel"
A person who's gone crazy because of love… It's a sad sight. I'll end this all tonight
"O stars, hear the sad cries of the people, trapped in eternity full of suffering, set them free" The whole dimension begins to crumble "What's happening?!" Andrew was loosing the power to control this world. "Sebastian, I'll untie my strings from yours and push you out of here" "What about you?" "I will purify Andrew and get out of here after don't worry" and unfastening their string by pulling the white string she tied off, Sebastian was sent back to the real world. "What did you do?!" Andrew now filled with raged lunged at Ana "Poor child forced to suffer in agony. Tonight your suffering ends" beginning the purifying ceremony she draws a line between them "What the?!" "God, let this poor soul feel free in your grace. Grant thy people peace and free them from their torment" and the last movement, she hugged Andrew and said, "Rest in Peace my brother" and Andrew disappeared smiling.
Well that was tough… then it's about time to go back.
Ana opened her eyes to the real world "Welcome back Ana-san how was your trip?" Sebastian was back to his old demonic self "I thought I told you to call me Ana" she pouted and looked at the clock, 12 midnight.
Looks like I have time to sleep more
"Wake me up for breakfast" she told Sebastian and fell asleep again "My, my we have another spoiled brat here" he sighed and exited the room. The following morning… "Ana-san! Breakfast is ready!" a jolly voice woke her up, groaning she opened her eyelids and sees Meirin trying to wake her up. "I'm awake!" she sat down "That's great! Bath before you go downstairs and here, this dress will suit you!" Meirin hands Ana a sleeveless red dress that ran down to her feet. "What's this for?" she asked "Oh the bocchan's fiancé is coming here so he wanted you to be presentable" "Oh ok" she stood up and bathed when she fitted the dress she smiled. She had seen Andrew together with Anne at the mirror.
How nice of Andrew to tell "thank you" he even visited me to inform me that he has been reunited with Anne-san… how sweet. Well now I know what the analogy: the river's diamond to the ocean pearl means… the river is Anne and the ocean is Andrew… Anne-san's happiness was the key to Andrew's heart… how sweet… but who knew tying the white string would stop the demon from sucking my energy I thought that it was just for exiting the dimension.
For the following events after Ana had been introduced to Lizzy the Earl's fiancé will be cut from this story to protect the dignity of the Phantomhive household as well as Ana's (you should know by now what happened, yes it was full of pink and cute stuff) and breakfast? Well…. It went splendid!
