Nix: yeah I know two chapters in one day, but this was one that I got ahead on then decided to cut that and make it this chapter. Umm I'd grab a box of tissues for the last part.

Matt: Wow that is some real shit, you dug deep.

Me: Yea I know. Well wanna do the disclaimer?

Matt: Sure Nix doesn't own Death Note, Black Butler or any of the references made.


"No let her go she has nothing to do with this!" Ethan cried out, Cassandra rolled her visible eyes.

"Dumbass if they don't kill me they will kidnap and ransom me. They won't let me go." Cassandra deadpanned.

"Boss she's not scared at all, what the hell?" The man with the shotgun said poking her with the nose of the gun.

"Don't poke me." She said.

"What the hell?"

"I am rich do you dumbasses really think this is my first time as a hostage?" She shook her head. "God you are hopeless."

"How about I blow your brains out right here right now Princess!" The leader growled. Cassandra rolled her eyes. "Kill them I don't want to see their ugly faces anymore, we are talking her."

"Sebastian I am growing bored of this silly game, end it keeping Ethan, Hugo, Pablo, and Jose alive. That's an order." She said.

"Yes Ms. Treeda." Sebastian bowed. One of the men shot Sebastian and began to freak out since Sebastian was still standing.

"What how?!" the leader cried out.

"I believe I shall return this." Sebastian said spitting out the bullet and throwing it at the man, killing him. Sebastian threw kitchen knives at the others impaling them. The last one left was the Leader who was holding a very calm Cassandra. His gun was shaking and his eyes wide with fear.

"What are you?!" the leader cried.

"I am simply-"

"One hell of a Butler." Cassandra finished. Sebastian smiled he had grown accustom to her finishing his signature statement.

"I'll kill her!" He yelled out.

"Yeah right it's his job to keep me alive and safe." Sebastian stood behind the leader now and grabbed the gun, crushing it in his grip. Suddenly blood splattered across her face and the leader dropped to the ground, dead. The boys stood there wide eyed as Cassandra wiped a blood spot off her face and flicked it to the ground. Looking up at the boys she raised her eyebrow.

"What?" She asked as Sebastian cleaned the blood off her face.

"Y-You, h-he what the hell just happened?!"

"Sebastian saved our lives." Cassandra said walking away like nothing happened. They stared after her in shock. "You coming or not!" She called back. The guys ran up behind her, to stunned to speak. They walked back to Ethan's in silence, only speaking when Ethan asked if they wanted to play video games. The group spent the rest of the afternoon playing video games.


"Well that was interesting." Cassandra sighed as her and Sebastian drove down the highway.

"Indeed it was My Lady."

"Well I doubt he is going to text me anymore." She yawned widely.

"Yes I doubt he will as well, Young Mistress." There was no answer Sebastian glanced over and saw Cassandra fast asleep. He smiled and turned back to the darkened road, seeing as it was 10:00 PM.

Time skip 36 days

"Well guys this is our last meeting!" Lisa exclaimed. Cassandra and Claire were at the last People to People meeting before the trip. "I hope everyone is ready! I know I am." Lisa exclaimed. "Now I have the list of delegates from the other delegations and you are going to be pleasantly surprised!" Cassandra raised an eyebrow as Lisa passed around a list of names. Quickly she scanned over the names before a large smile spread across her lips.

"Holy mother of God! It's exactly the same as last year!" She exclaimed jumping up and bouncing around.

"Really?" Claire asked.

"Yeah C it's exactly the same!" Lisa smiled and laughed as Cassandra ran around the classroom in circles cheering. Finally she settled down and sat back at her desk.

"And I have the trip schedule." Lisa passed out a schedule. Cassandra looked through and when she got to England she about fell out of her chair. No way, no fucking way! Cassandra glanced at Claire who was reacting like she was. We are going to Alois, Ciel's and Whammy's! I can see Alois and Ciel, but Whammy's! How in the hell did we manage that! It's incredible. I get to meet Matt! GAHHH I GET TO MEET MATT! I GET TO MEET MATT! Cassandra grinned a huge shit eating grin and turned to Claire.

"Oh Claire, you get to meet Near." Cassandra whispered. Claire blushed a bright red and Cassandra burst out laughing.

"SHUT UP!" Claire yelled shoving Cassandra out of her chair. Cassandra lay on the ground laughing hard, reaching the point where she cried.

"OH GOD YOUR FACE! YOU'RE SO RED!" Cassandra bellowed. Claire dropped down next to Cassandra and leaned in to whisper.

"Yeah but you get to meet Matt." She whispered Cassandra stopped short mid laugh and turned extremely red. "Ha look who's laughing now!" Claire said standing up.

"I can see up your skirt C." Cassandra said with a smirk.

"Gah!" Cassandra laughed harder knowing Claire didn't have a comeback seeing as she was wearing a pair of her ripped jeans. "You're an asshole."

"Damn right." Cassandra giggled as she stood up, brushing herself off.

"Now girls we can't cuss on the trip." Lisa chastised sternly.

"Awwww." Both girls pouted in unison.

"Now if you look at your schedule then you will see we are going to Earl Ciel Phantomhive's manor, we are extremely lucky this is the first and only time he is going to allow the People to People groups to his manor. Does anyone know who Earl Phantomhive is?" Lisa asked. Cassandra and Claire's hands shot up in the air and Cassandra bounced up and down in her seat going 'Oh! Oh! Oh!' like an elementary student. "Cass if you would."

"Ciel is the head of the noble Phantomhive family, brought to the head of the family when his parents passed in a fire. He owns the Funtom toy company, and he is also well known as the Queens Watchdog." Sebastian stared at her in hidden shock. I never told her about Ciel, never less his past and occupation. How could she have known?

"Oh my I never knew that was how he became head of the family, or that he was the Queen's Watchdog." Lisa commented. "How did you know that?"

"Oh one Watchdog always knows where their brother and sisters are." Cassandra commented leaning back in her chair.

"Oh yeah you are the President's Watchdog! I forgot, silly me!" Lisa exclaimed.

"Pft yeah right." Bailey scoffed. Cassandra raised her eyebrow but ignored the girl. She was just upset cause she wasn't the richest anymore.

"On another note! I have the shirts." Lisa held up a large box filled with maroon T-shirts, their official uniform. She passed them out before reaching the group T-shirts. Every year they do a different color T-shirt with the countries we are going to visit on them, this year it was pink. Cassandra gagged as Lisa gave the shirt to her.

"Oh it's so cute!" Kya exclaimed holding hers up.

"Alright guys it's time to go, but first a reminder. Be at the Boise Airport on June 1st at 10:00 AM. We will be meeting the others in Scotland! Have fun guys, see you at the airport." Lisa exclaimed, Cassandra and Claire stood up and left with a wave. The girls piled into Cassandra's car and rode home in silence. They went to Cassandra's room and ordered Sebastian to leave them be.

"This is going to be fun. I also noticed we are going to To-Oh University to view the acceptance speech." Cassandra commented laying down on her bed the short way.

"So we get to meet Alois, Ciel, Matt, Mello, Near, Light and L." Claire said. "I don't know if I can handle it!"

"We have to C, if we are going to save them we have to stay quiet. Look I have a plan that I think will work."

"Yeah but we both know that involves becoming Light's number one enemy and if Sebastian doesn't stop someone from writing your name you are dead. I don't want you to risk your life like this!"

"Claire I was dead from the moment I signed the contract." Cassandra deadpanned. "Whether Kira or Sebastian is the one to do it doesn't matter. I am a dead woman walking anyway, I'd rather use the little time I have left to save those who don't deserve to die."

"Cass."

"Claire please don't, I wouldn't be able to hold it together." Cassandra whispered. "I need to stay strong, not only for you but for everybody. Claire I hate this to, okay I absolutely fucking hate this but I have no choice in the matter. I don't know why I signed a contract, hell I barely remember anything from when I was kidnapped. All I know is I have to do this before I die okay." Cassandra closed her eyes tightly to keep from crying. I will not cry, I will not cry, I need to stay strong for Claire. I have been strong for years I can't break down now. Damn you Treeda don't fucking cry!

"Cassandra, you don't need to be to be strong for me." Claire whispered pulling Cassandra up so that she was sitting and hugging her tightly. Cassandra ripped off her eye patch and threw it at her pillow.

"Oh god Claire what the fuck did I do?!" Cassandra cried out before breaking into tears and sobbing onto Claire's shoulder. Damnit Treeda, you fell apart. Cassandra thought as she sobbed uncontrollably into Claire's shoulder. Claire held her tight, she didn't say anything. She didn't say something false like 'everything is going to be okay.' Or 'it will all work out for the better.' No both girls knew it wasn't going to be better, they knew that it wasn't going to be okay, it was going to be hell. Cassandra slowly stopped crying and began to hiccup.

"You feeling better?" Claire asked softly, petting Cassandra's hair.

"Yeah, you know you read all these fan fictions where being thrown into Black Butler or Death Note is heaven. But in truth it's straight up hell, there is death at every turn. You become miserable, and once you get caught up in it you can't back out. You fuck up and everyone else suffers. In the end either you die or they die. I guess that's why they call them fan fictions huh."

"Yeah, everyone writes a fan fiction that is their idea of a utopia, but in truth none of that is real, it's all in our heads." Claire responded, looking Cassandra in the eye.

"And when reality comes knocking, we are all fucked." Cassandra finished.

"Basically, Cass just promise me you'll try your best to stay alive as long as you can."

"I promise." Cassandra took both Claire's hands in hers and smiled. "Now come on let's go outside and watch the thunderstorm." She smiled and put her eye patch back on. Claire nodded and they stood up, Cassandra placing her arm over Claire's shoulders. They walked outside and stood watching the lightning.


Nix: True fact I can't cry anymore. I can maybe get tears to come for five seconds then its dry sobs.

Mello: that's weird.

Nix: yeah it is, so I didn't cry writing that but I came close to it. Well I should get writing, this next chapter and the ones after it are of the trip.
