Chapter 11
She is... Fugitive
Alyce eyes slowly opened as she found herself face to face with the sleeping Sebastian. He was so cute! Those long lashes and soft lips as a few black strands of hair fell over his face tickling his nose. Alyce smiled and sat up in the bed, the sheet fell of her shoulders to reveal her state after sleeping with Sebastian after she had just turned 18.
She frowned.
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOTHING HAPPENED
She looked at her silky white nightwear; her purple laced underwear and matching bra printing out. The navy blue hair lying on her back and her face (thankfully) free from makeup. It seems that Sebastian had given me a bath before I went to sleep, but wait…when did I fall asleep? She didn't know and she didn't care all that she knew was last night she made out with Sebastian in the bed, that's all. Maybe this would be a nice time to show off to Izabell.
As she made her way down the hall she recalled the previous night. Izabell had given her a toast about her being the best and only person in the world and also gave side comment ' what can I say, if she was a boy, we'd be in bed right now' Alyce eyebrow twitched, that part wasn't needed, she said to herself as she reached Izabell's door.
Sebastian's eyes opened and he sat up in the bed glancing around the room looking for Alyce. He sat there in shock as the previous night slumbered through his mind. He was sitting there kissing her. How wonderful it was. Those soft honey-sweetened lips, untouched and damp, they were his for the ongoing night. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him as she sat on top of him while they were at the edge of the bed. Damn this was perfect. But now even though he confirmed that he loved her and that it was her he wanted, confessing your feelings cannot restrain a demons hunger. He wanted her…at least some of her, just for the time being, just for the moment. He carried his hand up her cheek and carried his finger across her closed eyelid as he kissed her….if I can just loosen the contract a little, and taste her soul and then return it to normal. He couldn't wait any longer. He spun her around slamming her body on the bed and went on top of her restraining her from moving.
"Sebas-"
"Forgive me…"
He bit down on his lip on what he was about to do….but with all his patience drawn out how was he supposed to hold out any longer. His previous master was delicious; his patience for him lasted only three years. And here he was going on for a decade, of course he couldn't hold out any longer. He placed his hand over her mouth to muffle the screams as the pain increased.
Finally he had found a loop hole in the contract now he just had to-
"…"
She wasn't…breathing
"Alyce?"
He looked at her. Her eyes were half lidded. No gleams not even a blink just sudden stillness, until…until…he felt her hand hold his shoulder. Before he could blink he was maneuvered to the bottom and she was on top of him, but now before he could think of that there was something else bothering him….why was his shoulder….dislocated.
Alyce turned the knob and opened the door with a close eye smile.
"Izzy…guess who had the time of their life last night"
"Izzy..."
She opened her eyes
Sebastian immediately flung the room door opened, just as he was dressing in his uniform, and in no time reached the hall downstairs at Izabell's door, he stepped through the door way to see Alyce on the ground vomiting. He made another step but to his surprise looked down to see his foot in the red crimson liquid. He looked up to see the massacre in front of him.
On the wide cream wall in front of them hanging by both hands using a knife was the corpse of Izabell Carolines. Two knives kept her body a good height from off the floor. Her chest to her torso ripped apart as her body belongings laid splattered on the ground. A liver, intestines and a pair of lungs. The yellow dress ripped apart and drenched in blood. The amount of blood loss was proved in the room. The ceiling was dripping wet and the blood had been spayed across the bed and on the bed columns and on the wall paintings. The blood had dripped from the corpse and formed a puddle beneath that stretched all the way the doorway. One would say the room was wonderfully decorated in the crimson liquid. The death was fresh probably about six to five hours earlier. Not only that the corpse didn't all that stink and the blood was dried. But the message was still dripping and running down the wall:
~Black and red are the colors of my heart~
~Deep dark blue is the color of my sky~
~Black and red are the colors of my eyes~
~But in this dark blue world I don't know why? ~
Those words, every single one of them, were the lyrics to the musical silencer's case. He looked at it, right after the 'why' used as the period of the question mark her heart that was stabbed there with a table knife. The air was drenched in blood and the sight was unbelievable but nonetheless he was upset and he knew who did this and surprisingly hit the most, his mind pondered on what to do first, attend to his master or get rid of the mess, as much as he wanted to be by her side, protecting the fact that she had done this was one of the things that needed to be done-
"It wasn't me", He heard her mumble from her cries
He looked down at her on all fours as she wiped the corner of her mouth.
"Someone impersonated me, I spent the entire night with you, we were safe nothing happened! I was by your side the entire time!" She protested looking around at him
"Y-you mean you don't remember?"
Her eyebrows furrowed and she replied in a high pitch tone, "Remember what?"
He shrugged his shoulder to make sure that he remembered right, there was a slight pain which due to small injuries like that for a demon healed quickly but the fact that it happened clearly stated that…it happened. So why doesn't she remember, does she not want to remember, does she not want to label herself as the criminal?
"Should I clean it?"
"No" she replied quickly. Just then there was a knock on the door. She turned to him expectedly and he turned to walk off. He was barely out the door way when he felt her tug on to his clothes, he turned to her to see her looking up at him a little pale and weak,
"I'm coming with you" She said with wobbly lips as she held on to him as tight as she could.
Sebastian turned the knob and to his surprise in the courtyard stood a large crowd of people including the detective who was right in front of them who seemed to be the one who knocked the door.
There were a couple shouting coming from the crowd as they held spares and sticks in their hands as they formed a mob on the Labyrinths estate's ground. The detective quieted the mob and turned to the two in front of him.
"What do you want" She asked him as she remained her grip on Sebastian.
He looked down on her and then looked back up with a smile. A police officer pushed his way through the two at the doorway and went inside the house starting their search
"It's my nightwear, a regular woman's clothing" she said lowering the tension
"Oh…and is it regular to have blood on it" the detective asked raising an eyebrow
She gritted her teeth, "Izabell is dead, you said you'd find that Musical Silencer but he attacked again in my house" she said narrowing her eye on him
"You speak as if it's in a person's POV; the musical silencer is right here before my eyes!"
The crowd shouted as they heard the last part of the sentence raising their forks and spare in protest. A police officer came out the house gave a glance to Alyce in disgust and then whispered something in the detective's ears. He frowned and nodded and then looked back up to Alyce
"Alyce Labyrinth…you are guilty of killing 137 people and also Izabell Carolines"
Her eyes widen as he pulled her arm ready to place the handcuff on, I guess this is it, it was what Izabell wanted after all, for me to turn myself in, for you I'll do this Izzy you are after all my only Friend.
"It seems you have misjudged the situation" Sebastian said intervening
Sebastian, there's nothing you can do…even though I know I didn't kill Izabell, I did kill the others and they have proof.
"Alyce is not the murderer"
"Oh~" Ronald raised an eyebrow
"I…Sebastian Michealis had personally threatened the Labyrinths family to allow me stay at their manor. I had framed lady Labyrinth as the musical Silencer when I was the one from the shadows killing those people. Her father was going to have me killed but to save myself I held his daughter captive in having him believe that if he let any word loose his daughter and the rest of the town's people would end up like the people I've killed. To protect you all he framed himself as being suspicious in signing off the case under 'personal issues'. After receiving news that the case had been reopened I was threatened again to be found out so to remind sir labyrinth about that bet we had made instead of killing his daughter I murdered the closet person to her; her best friend last night, and have him aware that if the case got any more serious it would be his daughter instead."
The crowd gasped at his confession and then roared in anger for him to be prostituted. Alyce stared in horror, he-he had just covered for me…even though I actually am-
"Then take him away" Ronald ordered to the cops who began chaining his hand.
Alyce ran to him and stopped them. Of course it would look bad if she did anything intimate.
It was the last option and the only thing that came to mind…but it had to be done.
She slapped him across the face and held his collar and pulled him up to her as she whispered in his ears.
"Thank you so much….I won't let you stay in there long…but please do not retaliate and stick to that story…please wait for me I'll be by your side soon…after all…that's what lovers do…right?" She pushed him on the ground and walked past him. It was just a brief 5 seconds and barely audible for a walk by sentence, but through his grin and under the shouting, she could hear:
"Yes….my lady"
She stood at the door and watched as he left in the carriage. She also watched as they left her house with the corpse. A minute had barely past and she found herself at the doorstep vomiting. It wasn't her first corpse, it wasn't the first time she'd seen so much blood, but the only reason she was vomiting, was because this was Izabell. She lousy walked up the steps of her manor as the flashbacks came in little by little, especially that one, the day she met….Izabell Carolines.
She was sitting in her room drawing on the paper when the nanny knocked on the door.
"Alyce…I have someone I want you to meet" Alyce looked at the door way to see a blonde girl with two pigtails and a flustered face.
"I-I-I-I'm Izabell Carolines…a pleasure to meet you!" she said with a bow nervously while fidgeting, oh no...I need to be as kind as possible, papa sat she was the soon to be head of the house of the higher ups, that means, i must have to utmost respect for her
Alyce eyes gleamed with awe, she was so small, so weak so defenseless but at the same time she felt that urge to protect that little girl, to protect her new interest
"You're so weak"
"Huh"
Alyce smiled and repeated herself, "I said your weak, also…you can easily break" the 5 year old exchanged stares with the blue eyed blonde
"I-I"
Alyce walked up to her;" its ok, I will protect you, even though you're so weak" Alyce had fallen for the adorable girl. She had pledged to protect for from any evil person, but even at that age, what Izabell didn't know, was that she was in the hands of the worst.
Alyce sat in the tub of water. She needed to rescue Sebastian; she told him she would be there. She made a promise with him, she didn't want to see him die, she didn't want to see him hurt, and she didn't want anything to happen…to the person she loved. She already lost Izabell….so she wasn't willing to lose Sebastian.
She carried her finger across her lip; there was no doubt about it. She knew she was kissing him last night, she knew she had spent the night with him, so how did the musical silencer strike again. She was the musical Silencer, she was the murderer, so how could she kill her best friend that she shared so many memories with, if she can't even recalled when she killed her.
Meanwhile
Sebastian smiled as he sat in the carriage on their way to the jail in the city. Ronald was looking out the window and switched his gaze back to the demon.
"Oh…my apologizes" He took off the hat to reveal the half blonde and black hair and switched his glasses as he stared at Sebastian with the yellow-green eyes.
"You must remember me"
"Yes I do, now, how about you explain why you are wearing a disguise"
"Well, the higher ups wanted this case to be solved and so they agreed, since it was chaos in the human world pertaining to the case,Why don't have the issue both solved in both dimensions"
"So they dressed you as a dog to pretend like a fool and act accordingly I presume?"
He frowned
"Well….I guess I'm not much of an actor, maybe they should have used Grell instead~" he said getting back at the raven haired Demon.
Sebastian's eyebrow twitched, not that fool.
Ronald took out the small black book, "I must assure you that I am aware that you are not the Musical Silencer"
"Then why did you take me?"
"What can I say; you are also a threat to our world so why not kill you and end it"
"Kill me….I'm sure you're aware that a thought like that is impossible"
"Yes it is, but after your master ordered you not to do anything, it is…" He said closing the book, "and you must obey your master's order, don't you"
Sebastian gritted his teeth.
Ronald immediately brushed off the serious mode, "Anyways it doesn't matter….she is going to die today anyways"
Sebastian expression changed into a serious one...what did he just say
Alyce pulled up the sleeve and zipped the side of her dress. She took one last glance outside to see the cloudy sky and immediately decided to bring her umbrella. She was halfway down the staircase when she stepped on the hem of her dress and tripped. The umbrella flew out her hand and down she went tumbling. She fell on her back and opens her eyes. In less than a second she rolled and dogdged the landing umbrella that made a nice lading into the ground where her head was. She sighed in relief...pfft death trying to get me?...your a thousand years early
She opened the door to see the rain beginning to fall. If Sebastian was here he would have gotten me a carriage, but no, he wasn't here…just me myself and I, the lonely trio. She opened the umbrella and began walking through the entrance of the labyrinth's manor. She began walking down that long lonely road.
Somehow, the first thing I need to do is to reach my father's house and then, after that, I go and get Sebastian.
And after that? A voice asked in the back of her mind
And after that we go to America, she said assumingly replying to the question. She continued walking in the falling ran and in no time was almost off that road and heading to her father's house direction, until…she saw that tree.
Day before yesterday flashed in front her eyes. Her fight with Izabell and when she confessed she was a murderer. She then realized that even after that, Izabell still remained by her side as if she never said anything and they didn't have a fight, so that what true friends are? That's what it means to have a really good friend…and here she was saying to her that they would be best friends forever, it seems like that time…doesn't even exist.
She sat down in the couch waiting for her father to come, according to the maid, she said he was just finishing lunch so he would be here any minute. At the edge of her patience she got up and started looking around the room, there was a nothing more than a bookshelf a small desk with chairs for two. It wasn't a small room but big enough for one person, more like a personal study, but that aside she didn't come to observe, she came to find a way to get Sebastian out of custody and have both of them out the country by nightfall.
"I heard"
She turned around to come face to face with her sadden father.
"It seems that Izabell has passed away" he said finishing his sentence.
"Yes" she replied holding her head down, when u put it that way…
"According to the reports it's the work of the Musical Silencer, but why Alyce…would you kill her, I thought she was precious to you"
"She was!" she said releasing the anger, "and I didn't kill her!"
He closed the door behind him and sat down; she followed him resting her face in her hands.
"I know I didn't kill her, I know it more than anything! No matter how you put it-"
"-you murdered you friend" he said finishing her sentence in a monotone voice making it sound as if it was what she was about to say.
"Why are you saying that?"
He sighed and lit his cigar, "No matter how I face it Alycia was right after all" he said sounding almost defeated
"Alycia? why are you bringing my mother into this…she has nothing to do with this!"
He released the smoke in his mouth and smiled at her, "you are mistaken, and she has everything to do with this"
Alyce went quiet for a while, staring at her father as he smoked his cigar, she gulped in the confidence and misunderstanding and finally said the words on her chest, "What do you mean by that, and I need you to explain my mother to me" She folded her hands crossed her chest and gave him a narrow stare
"Firstly let me say that you are the one who killed you friend, no one did it…but you, secondly…your mother has everything to do with this, because you mother after all predicted that this may happen?"
"Predicted? What are you saying?"
"Quiet…and listen to me….Your mother….was not human"
The words shocked her more than the fact. Her mother…wasn't human….then what the hell, what-what does that mean
"And that butler you walk around with….he's a demon…isn't he?"
She tensed," how do you know?"
"When I was 18 on a trip with my parents I first handily witnessed my mother and father along with my unborn twin sisters, murdered by a demon. I know you should be amazed, and probably fall into a nightmare after seeing the true form of a demon. But after that demon saw me, she changed back into her form and walked up to me…She was unbelievable beautiful, so pure and so priceless, to be something so tainted and indescribable disgusting. But the moment I saw her face the moment I heard her voice I realized that something had happen that I immediately pushed aside…the fact that I'd fallen in love with her"
"In love?"
"Of course it would be wrong to love someone who murdered your family, but when I saw her I looked over it and pretended it didn't happen. I kept on reminding myself not to love her, not to think of her, to destroy those feelings for her, but no matter how hard I tried, we ended up meeting in several places, we ended up witnessing each other sometimes. I didn't want it that way, at first I thought it was coincidence, but then I realized…that it was destiny." He rested the cigar on the table and hot u and leaned against the bookshelf. "In others eyes she was a famous woman known for her beauty and her factories and products, but only in my eyes she was known for being a demon, a creature from hell, a human's nightmare. I thought she was boastful, I thought she was wicked, I thought she was retched and full of pride, but the only pride she held, was the fact of being a demon, I realized that I was wrong…on that one day we spoke to each other. It was May 12 and I was in Paris enjoying the celebration of landing over a thousand estates in the urban areas. I met her after returning to my hotel room. I was 37 at that time and I had grown out the hatred I held for her. She offered a drink at the bar and we spoke the night away. I realized that in fact, she was tired of both worlds, she thought the human world would be fun but realized without materialistic things she couldn't get the pleasure she wanted. The love would wither away because she was ages older than the men she married and while she didn't aged a day, they would turn to dust and become one with the earth. She told me she made a pledge to leave the world and everything behind since the life was too boring and her days were beginning to weigh on her"
"So she wanted to die"
"Exactly, but I was already in love with her, I decided as I sat there drinking with her that maybe we won't get a chance like this, so, I confessed"
"You mean you told her how you felt"
"Yes, she laughed, I will never forget that laugh. She looked at me with those dark crimson eyes and made a deal. I had told her how much I adored her relentless of her past and what she was and also what she did to my family. When she murdered them I thought the look on her face would be of thrill, would be of pleasure…of satisfaction, but instead, as she killed, she was sad, she frowned, she never seemed to enjoy what she did. She simply hated the fact that she was killing the very thing she was fond of for her survival. Although she pitied us for having such short lived lives, she stated that we always seemed to surprise her, she never knows what we're actually thinking and a few times we are quite unpredictable."
"So what was the deal" Alyce asked completely drawn in in the story.
"The deal was to have one of her own….she loved humans, she treasured them, but they always wither away…and their life span was so short, so she asked me if I would grant her the chance, of having a human child…which was you"
They exchanged stares as she looked at him, so that how….I came along
"When she found out she was pregnant, that's when unwanted people, got involved."
"Unwanted people"
"The name….Is shinigami"
Meanwhile..
"May I ask you, where are you taking me?" Sebastian said a little concern since they have been walking in pitch black for about fifteen minutes now when it was broad daylight
"We are taking you to a show" Ronald replied turning Sebastian as he walked through the dark hallway the chains rattling on the ground
"I do not wish to watch a show" Sebastian said with a straight face
"Oh…don't worry, you want be watching anything, cause you will be the main character.
Back at the mansion
"Shinigami?"
"Yes, when they realized that a half human half demon was going to be born, they decided to kill you along with your mother."
"Why"
"The rule of a shinigami is to judge a human's life and decide whether they can carry on or not at the time of their death at a given place and allotted time, but unfortunately, for a role like that to be played, it wasn't done perfectly, time after time the persons who were set to die, before the shinigami could reach there, their souls were taking by demons"
"So demons were their enemy"
"Exactly…Alycia told me everything about it and it seems she was aware of the risk she was taking, that's when she told me the part I didn't want to hear, the part that stroke me the most the part that was unbelievable"
He paused for the moment and then looked back up at Alyce, "The fact that you only possessed two things"
"That I possessed…two things?"
Alyce pulled her dress up to her knee as she ran out the carriage and to the prosecution arena. She hoped she'd at least make it, that she at least wasn't late, she flashed a glance at the time on the building: it was just 5:50, ten minutes to the sunset hour (sunset hour in those days were referred to the time that a person who is to be prosecuted was killed. It was believed that such act was portrayed due to the death of Jesus Christ in that era). She pulled the doors with all her might to enter the ceremony of the persecution but they were shut. She'd have to take the back door that was the only way she could get there.
Even now she was at lost at what was actually happening, she couldn't believe it and it was incomprehensible for the poor Alyce to accept as reality. As she turned the corner she stopped in a corer and vomited. shit...I don't feel so good
back to Sebastian
She blocked a couple guards and made her way to a sealed off door, this must lead to the courtyard. She looked on the watch in her hand, 3 minutes to, any minute now he would be killed. She needed to make it there. He lifted the board that blocked off the door with all her might. It was unbelievingly heavy.
"Aren't you supposed to behead me with a regular axe or sword?" He said in his forced leant over position. He was placed in front t of thousands, probably the entire towns' people. It was the public prostitution of the musical silencer that had killed so many people. They roared and shouted for him to be beheaded immediately from their chairs in the huge arena. He second guessed, this was more than towns' people.
But where was Alyce he couldn't move he couldn't do anything, he was ordered to remain calm, ordered not to retaliate, ordered under drastic measures to not do anything, so he had to follow orders.
"Oh, this baby right here" Ranold said raising the huge shiny axe in the air, "It was personally sent by the higher ups to kill you, its a new deathsynthe and can you believe it, but I'm the first on to use it, seems like they trust me" he said flashing the golden hair out of his face as it blew a little in the open air.
"Well…5:59, say good bye to this world Sebastian MI-"
"Stop!"
He turned around to see the panting Alyce on the prostitution ground, he stood up straight resting his hand on his waist and turned around directly to her, the crowd went silent as they watched the labyrinth's curse take place on the field.
She looked up completely tired panting in distress as she saw Sebastian staring at her.
"Your wish…my lady"
she gulped in and stood up straight. "Defeat that asshole and take my soul, now" He pouted and then smiled
"Yes…my lady"
Sebastian easily busted out he chains and turned to hit Ronald who had already dodged. Now the fight had begun, the audience had gone into a roar of panic as they watched the two fights and quickly rushed out the arena pushing and rushing out the building.
Alyce eventually fell to her knees as she watched them fighting as her vision began getting blurry, the conversation with her father then came rushing back as she took her last breaths.
"Alycia told me everything about it and it seems she was aware of the risk she was talking, that's when she told me the part I didn't want to hear, the part that stroke me the most the part that was unbelievable….the fact that you possessed two things"
"Two things"
"Yes...That you got the ability to maintain a human form, and also the chance to possess half a human soul"
Her eyes widened in response
"Are you saying that…?"
"Yes"
She rose from the chair as it fell behind her, her father came and held her up as she was about to stumble,
"With the possession of your true soul which is that of a demon, you killed those people relentlessly, because that was your only way to survive, you only killed your best friend, because as you grew older that urge got stronger and you lost your grip on your sanity on what you wanted and did not want to murder"
"But-but what about Sebastian"
"You couldn't defeat him, and neither can you have a demon's soul, that's why you went after the closet human next to you"
She could hear the pain in his voice as he held her shaking body in his arms.
"That's why I placed you far from the people, so that you wouldn't kill them" he was crying, "I was told to kill you after your mother disappeared after having you. When I went in the room…all I saw was you on the bed with a large amount of blood around you, so people said you were a curse, your mother was nowhere to be found and here you were with this hidden secret that even you weren't aware of"
The tears rolled down her cheeks
"Alycia told me you would kill; she told me you would be hunted"
"Hunted?" she pulled out of his hug looking up at him while sniffing. She wiped her nose and dried her tears
"That detective…he's going to kill Sebastian…plus that man…is a shinigami"
"I have to leave now!"
She dashed out the room but he caught her arm, " Before you go...there's something else"
...
"Aren't you going to go to your master?"
"After I accomplish the first order" he replied dodging his death scythe
"Well let me ask…which master that would be"
Sebastian eyes widened.
Ronald landed gracefully on the railings and so did Sebastian on a chair in the audience section. He took a glance in his little black book and then back at his watch as he statched the book way in his jacket,
"Like I said she would die today…"
He began to re quote, "Six o' nine, Alyce Labyrinth also the Musical Silencer, dies from a heart attack in the Prosecution Arena on the prosecution grounds."
Sebastian eyes widen and he took out his watch, 6:o7 and fifty eight minutes. He looked back up to see no Ronald and then back to his master. he immediately rushed towards her
Alyce POV
She could feel it somewhere in her body, the pain increasing, heart rate slowing, somehow she knew, she was at her end. She rathered to die a human
As her eyes closed she could see Sebastian coming towards her
...Yes
Yes...
