"MISTER SEBASTIAN!" Angelica wailed. This experience was truly horrifying. Her legs were numb, her arms clawed at the man's wrist in feeble attempts to break free of his grasp on her hair, and her eyes were drowned in tears. "MISTER SEBASTIAN HELP ME!"
Sebastian's eye twitched. He was not sure whether or not it was from anger, but there was something boiling in him alright. Maybe it was the desperate wailing of Angelica. Maybe it was the aggressive force Mr. Pyroa used against an innocent child. Maybe it was even the atmosphere in the room. Sebastian did not care at the moment. All he knew was that he was furious. "PUT. HER. DOWN."
Mr. Pyroa laughed at this. "Don't really see how you're the one to be ordering nobles around, butler," he sneered. "Also…"
Out came a flintlock, then pinned to Angelica's temple. She let out a screech of horror at the cold feel of the muzzle, sobbing like an infant. Angelica truly thought she could take him on, but with this surprise attack, all she could do was cry. "SOMBODY!" she shrieked.
Ciel gulped and stepped forward, but the Viscount was quick to draw him back. Honestly, the Earl did not mind. "What is it that you want with that girl?" Aleister demanded.
The fire-demon cackled and dug the muzzle into Angelica's skin, grinning like a maniac. "Why, her existence wiped clean from this Earth of course~" he sang sickly. "You see, dear Viscount, her father set us up to be married once she came of age. Now, is that out of the ordinary?" The Viscount sadly shook his head. "Exactly. Yet, he immediately switched it on me! Saying she was too young! Arranged marriages happen all the time, yet that idiot thought she is too young!"
"Why hold a grudge over something so trivial?!" Ciel snapped. This only made Mr. Pyroa laugh whole-heartedly. "What's so funny?"
"The fact you are even daring to insult my choice of grudges when MISS COBLAT is right here under the muzzle!" Angelica froze at these words. "See? I even bet you that this little brat want's to laugh to, isn't that right, Miss Coblat?"
Sebastian smirked. "Oh, Mr. Pyroa?" he addressed. The fire-demon glanced up at the other demon. "I believe that if anyone is under any muzzle, it would be you."
Mr. Pyroa turned and twisted, but in the end shrugged. "What nonsense are you spitting o-"-The crunch of bone interrupted his sentence. "NGH!"
"IT'S ANGELICA YOU YELLOWED-BELLIED SOW!" Angelica screamed, holding a bar of thick ice. She immediately turned to Amber, Jennies, and Shira. "Get everyone out o' 'ere! Freeze 'em walls!" All three nodded and proceeded with their designated actions.
People immediately fled when Amber opened the doors. Ciel was dragged with the crowd, and Amber to no less. This did not bother Sebastian or Jennies the slightest, for that only made two more people safer from Mr. Pyroa.
Now, Angelica could really hit him, that was for sure. Blood and tiny flames evacuated the soon mangled body each time the bar went down. Her face was twisted with rage and disgust. This man killed off most of her family for a stupid cancelation of a marriage. He was truly a psychopath, would you not think so? Angelica only kept up the assault, however, until the room was clear except for five: Mr. Pyroa, Sebastian, Jennies, Shira, and herself. At this point she thrust the bar away and ran. Typically she ran to Sebastian.
"Mist Sebastian!" she hugged his waist. "Is he-"
"No, he is not dead," Sebastian stared at the body of Mr. Pyroa. Even a demon such as himself could understand that this fire-demon was simply regenerating. "Angelica, run."
This confused Angelica greatly. "What?"
Sebastian smiled down at her and gave her head a pat or two. "Run. He's after you, and I would prefer you not dying today."
Angelica thought on this longer than she should have. Should she leave, like Sebastian wanted, or should she stay, like she wanted? Shall she finish off the fire-demon that killed her family, or shall she leave the dirty work to Sebastian? Well, one thing remained true: Sebastian was stronger than her. If he finished off this demon, it might be done faster than she ever would have. That put a smile on her face for sure and she nodded, offering Sebastian the Cat. "For good luck," she said.
The butler was glad to accept her offering and she started to run. A quick glance at the toy instead of the foe was all it took for one thing to go wrong. That one thing cost Angelica greatly.
BAM!
A smile on Angelica's face turned upside-down. Her white dress streaked read. She was pushed farther forward by a force only summoned up by Mr. Pyroa as he rose.
He had shot her.
Eyes wide, she fell. Her last thought was that of how happy she would be with Ciel and Sebastian after Pyroa's demise. That, however, was not exactly the case at this point. On the ground, her mind drew a blank, for her life had ceased.
Sebastian stared at her body, wide-eyed. Again, he was not sure whether or not her charms of feeling-manipulation were effective, but he did not care at this point. A grip nearly strangled the crying cat. His head turned mechanically to the fire-demon, teeth grinding together like sandpaper against sandpaper. "You…YOU…" Taking in a deep breath, he blinked his eyes once from their deep-red hue to a malignant pink. "HOW DARE YOU?!"
Pyroa did not get a chance to answer, for the room was engulfed in black and ice. Shira and Jennies were glowing a light blue, both just as fearsome. The fire-demon gulped at the realization of his mistake. He had just ticked off three powerful beings at once.
Clink-Clink. Clink-Clink.
Sebastian was replaced with a dark miasma, his demon form now in view as he was ready to end the one who took Angelica away.
