AN: So this chapter is going to be a filler since it is all in her POV, and I am skipping the rest of the Jack the Ripper chapters. Sorry if you guys liked them, but since she 'died' I had to do it this way.
Oww.
Everything hurts.
I could mostly feel it in my chest and stomach area, but it was only sore like I had done a huge stomach workout.
I wonder where I am, I felt around.
Oh, I'm in my bed. I must have been dreaming, what was I dreaming about?
Oh, that's right I dreamed I was transported into the Black Butler world, man I wish that actually happened, it would have been so cool.
I peeked an eye open and saw Sebastian's butler suit, ah my Sebby pillow.
I grabbed him around the waist area and pulled him closer to me, weird last time I remember my pillow wasn't this thick. I snuggled my face into the chest area, it was harder than I remember too.
"Are you awake now?"
I heard someone ask.
My eyes flew open as I realized whose voice that was, I looked up to see a smiling Sebastian looking down at me, and my Sebby pillow was the real deal. I threw my hands off him and jumped back. There was a loud thud and my butt then felt sore since I landed on it.
"Oww~" I said getting up.
Sebastian was comfortably on his side on the bed I had been sleeping on.
"Why are you on the bed?" I asked pointing an accusing finger at him.
"This is my bed." He said simply.
It dawned on me that this must be his room, "And why am I in here?" I questioned.
"I had to heal you." He answered, slowly getting off the bed.
"Heal me?" I looked down at myself and realized that I was in a new white fresh night gown.
Which meant he saw me! I blushed like crazy, but I went over to the mirror and lifted my nightgown up. I was wearing underwear, good thing, and I had a long white scar that went from my belly button to the upper part of my chest, it was all jagged too.
"How long have I been asleep?" I asked.
"Just a day, surprisingly." He said, also staring at my scar, but more in the middle of it.
I looked to the middle of my scar to see my birth mark, it was a nice shade of black, surprisingly, like an actually black so it was huge difference between my skin tones.
"Oh that's just a birth mark." I said, to get him to stop staring.
I put my dress back down and turned to face him.
"So where is the Master and Madame Red?"
He then questioned me, "You didn't ask about Grell?"
"Well yeah, didn't William take him?"
"Yes."
We then just stared at each other before I prompted him.
"So the Master and Madame Red?"
"Ah, yes I believe they are in the drawing room, if you would like to speak to them."
I then turned my heel and left heading for the drawing room. I could honestly care less about my attire right now, so I went in my night gown. I walked in on a very awkward situation. Ciel and Madame Red where sitting across from each other, Ciel was glaring while Madame Red was looking down.
I then just announced my presence as if this was normal.
"Good evening, may I be of any help?"
Madame Red and Ciel both looked at me, Madame Red looked shocked, but Ciel looked bored.
"Yes, you may," Said Ciel, "Madame Red, here, refuses to say why she killed all those prostitutes."
"You wouldn't understand." I heard her mumble, as did Ciel so he turned a glare at her.
I then chuckled gaining their attention back, "Well of course he wouldn't he's a guy but us women can confide in each other can't we. Especially when you lack a certain trait that most women have."
Madame Red then glared at me, "What do you know!?"
I rolled my eyes, "That's for me to know and you to find out. Anyway where do you want to start explaining, your sister or your love?"
"My late husband?" She questioned.
"No, no, no I meant your love. Vincent."
She looked shocked that I knew this little piece of information.
I then sat down next to her smiling sweetly at her, "So where do you want to start?"
She looked at me warily, "Are you a...?"
"Grim reaper?" I asked and she nodded, I laughed, "Heavens no! I am just a normal human girl, well not exactly normal."
She then hardened her gaze, "Well if you know so much then why don't you explain it to him!" She gestured to Ciel.
I shrugged, "Okay~ Well where should I start?" I tapped my chin, "How about with your sister!" I beamed. "Let's see, well you loved your sister to death and you guys had a great relationship, but you where jealous of her beauty, since you hated your red hair. Correct?" I asked her.
She nodded, "But how do you know about that?"
I smiled, "It's a secret. Anyway then Vincent, your father, " I told Ciel, "came into their lives and he said that her hair was beautiful, what was it like again?" I asked her.
She then had a light blush dusting her cheeks, "He said it was like the red spider lilies in full bloom."
I smiled at her, since she was starting to open up, "Yes, and didn't that make you start to love red?"
She just nodded again.
"Right, but the two people you loved the most got married and so you just had to be happy for them, kindof sucks in my opinion."
Madame Red looked up shocked at this, "what?"
"I just thinks it sucks, anyway what else would you like to tell him?"
"What does this have to do with the murders?" Ciel asked dully.
I then looked at him with a hurt expression, "Oh, how rude! Its leading up to it!"
I noticed Sebastian out of the corner of my eye, wonder when he got here.
Ciel rolled his eyes and took a sip of tea, Madame Red looked amused at my little out burst.
Madame Red then spoke up, "Ciel after you were born I absolutely adored you, but it was painful watching your father and mother love each other and you all having the perfect family life. It wasn't all sad though I soon found a man that excepted me though I could not fully love him." She looked like she was in a far away place reminiscing about that time period. Her expression soon turned dark though, "But after I became pregnant I lost everything in that carriage accident, my husband and child, I then lost you and my sister and that man in the fire. I hated the color red more than anything."
She was glaring at the ground and there was a very awkward silence, I coughed a bit into my fist.
"Are you going to tell him about the murders now or should I?" I asked, since in the manga she then committed the murders.
She then glared at me, "How do you know?! And how are you alive?!"
I then gave her an innocent expression, "I only have an answer to the first question."
She scoffed, "You tell him, then I want a BIG explanation on how you know these things."
I smiled at her, "Only if my Master will permit it." I then turned my attention to Ciel, "So she did her first kill with one of the prostitutes because they threw away everything she ever wanted. A child basically, and then she met Grell, which did not help in the least since he just egged her on to commit more murders. So she then became Jack the Ripper."
Ciel just took another sip of tea, then spoke up to me, "Why did you spare her life when she still needs to pay for the crimes that she committed?"
I thought about this for a sec, on how to answer it, "Well I guess because I really love Madame Red and I didn't want her to die since she was just a good person doing bad things."
"You think I'm a good person?" Madame Red asked.
I shrugged, "Yeah, you just got dealt a crappy hand of cards, no one can really blame you for acting out how you did. Especially in your field of work, I personally hate abortions."
Ciel then spoke up, "How can you say you love her when you have barely even know her for about a week?"
I then smirked at him, "I've known her for a bit longer, just as I have you."
He shook his head in annoyance and then turned to his Aunt, "So what will you do now?"
She furrowed her eyebrows, "What can I do?"
I smiled, "Quite simple mend your mistakes or die at the hands of the queens Guard Dog."
I said this in quite the chipper tone, so I got a couple of weird looks, but they then turned to the task at hand.
Madame Red looked at the ground, "I am not sure what to do, I would like to mend my mistakes... but I do not know if I can go back."
I left the seat I had taken and went to stand next to Sebastian since there was no more I could do, it was all up to Madame Red now to decide what she wanted to do. Ciel stretched his arms out and gave off a yawn.
"Well I'm quite tired as I'm sure you are, I say we get some sleep for now and let you think on this decision of yours." He said getting up and going to the door.
Madame Red looked shocked but I grabbed her hand and decided to lead her to her guest bedroom here at the town house. It was a quiet trip till the end when she was closing her door and called out to me.
"Scarlett."
I turned, "Yes?"
"I still want my explanation, but it can wait. Also what choice do you think I should make?"
I smiled at her, "Well I didn't give you a second chance so you could throw it away again. Goodnight Madame Red."
With that I turned and started heading towards Ciel's room, I needed some of my questions answered. I knocked on his door and heard a faint voice of 'come in'. I opened it to see both Sebastian and Ciel there, whereas Ciel was in his night clothes already.
"Young Master." I said doing a curtsy.
"Yes? What is it?"
"I just wanted to know how I am still alive." I said bluntly with an obvious fake smile plastered on my face.
He paused but then recovered, "If you really want to know ask Sebastian, he'll have more answers for you."
"Oh?" Was all I said.
Ciel then spoke up again, "Also what did you say to me?"
I was confused, "Hm? When?"
"When the chainsaw hit you. What did you say?"
I blushed, "Oh nothing really, it wasn't that important." I waved it off.
He hardened his gaze, but I kept my eyes glued to the floor.
"Young Master, I heard what she said." Sebastian offered.
Dang Sebastian and his stupid sensitive hearing.
"Oh? What was it Sebastian?" Ciel asked.
I was sweating nervously, was he going to tell him? Or not? I had my eyes on the duo hoping Sebastian wouldn't say, but he opened his mouth, yet his voice had changed a bit.
"She said she loves you."
Ciel blushed as did I. I thought back to the moment when I was flung backwards and my eyes met his, I had a thin smile spread across my lips and I said my last words to Ciel. 'Ciel, I love you.' It had been simple and short.
"Wait let me explain!" I said holding out my hands, "I meant a type of sibling love and I only said it because I didn't think I would be waking up again!"
Unknown to my eyes Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief, as Ciel calmed down, probably happy to know I was not a pedophile.
"Why would you even 'love' me?" He asked.
"How could I not?" I said in a 'duh' type of tone, "I see you go through your life and I see your reasons why and I see your past. How could not love someone after getting to know them so well? Of course after meeting you in person it is a bit different, but it only make my 'sibling love' for you grow stronger not weaker." I explained.
He sighed, "Your a weird human."
I chuckled and Sebastian was still standing off to the side.
"Well I guess that's all for tonight, but I don't know what is going to happen now to Madame Red, since she was suppose to die because of Grell."
Ciel nodded his head, "Understood, Good night."
"Goodnight." I smiled and left the room.
I went to my own room that I was given when we first came here and I took collapsed in bed. I felt exhausted but sleep was not coming so I got back up and went over to the mirror, flickering a candle on as I went. I lifted up my nightgown and saw that my once old looking scar was now not even there.
Something weird was going on here, and I bet Sebastian knows what.
I exited my room and started going down the halls, I was headed to his room when I bumped into him in the halls, since I had not brought a light with me.
"Ah, Miss Scarlett is there anything I can do for you?"
I glared up at him, "Drop the gentleman act and tell me why I'm alive?! And I don't even have a scar anymore!"
He kept up his closed eyed smile as he looked down at me.
"Would you like some tea while we talked?" He asked.
I made a disgusted sound, "No, I don't like tea. Just tell me!"
"Alright please follow me." He then turned and started walking down the hall.
I followed behind him and he went into a sitting room, for servants, and turned the lights on. He motioned for me to sit on one of the chairs and so I did and he sat across from me at the little table.
"So why am I alive?" I asked.
"I had to heal you."
"And why did you have to heal me!" I exclaimed tired of going in circles.
"Because your my demon mate."
I said nothing and stared at him blankly.
I then burst into laughter, "Oh my, that is quite a joke! Anyway I really should be getting to bed."
I got up to leave, whereas Sebastian was shocked at my reaction. He stopped me by grabbing my arm.
"Scarlett."
"Yes?" I turned towards him with a smile, as I got my arm out of his grip.
"You know that mark-"
"Yes, my birth mark, what of it?"
"It is my-"
"It is a birth mark and nothing more." I cut him off once again.
He seemed irritated at my unwillingness to listen.
"You have to understand that it came as a shock to me too." He said.
"What did?" I asked, "Sebastian please, that's enough of this joke. It was funny but now its over. Besides I'm already taken."
And with that I turned my heel and started back to my room, sure that I was to get no sleep tonight. Unknown to me I left a very, very pissed off demon in the room. As he repeated the last line I had said.
AN: Happy New Years! Wow it is 2017! So yay for that, hopefully it will be better than last year. Anyway I am not sure how I did with this chapter since originally I planed on waiting a bit more to reveal that she was his demon mate. But I thought her knowing and being in denial might make it better, also about her being taken, she does have a boyfriend. The only reason you haven't heard about him that much is because she does not miss him or even think of him. So he's not really that important. Also I am not sure what to do with the whole Madame Red thing, since I will not kill her right after Scarlett saved her. So please review and tell me how I did with this chapter!
