Well it seems that I have been challenged and at the right moment too since I really want this to move forward and since it's officially the one year anniversary for Who are We. Thank you all of you who have stuck with me from the beginning and to those who have joined me through the year. I still don't exactly know how long this story will be but with my guess it will be long. I'm going to start tweaking my writing a bit, and yes I will finally label the POV's of each section since I have many people's POV's here and there, plus I might also start writing in 3rd person. Okay so again thank you all for the support and I can't wait to continue for the up coming year thank you all and here is your next chapter to Who are We.

Sebastian's POV.
I woke the next morning feeling a warm body cuddled up next to mine. Opening my eyes I see my cute Kitten who latched himself to my heart through the years we've known each other. In the beginning our contract was the same to me as any other contract, but through time he became more than just another meal, something different, something special. Half the time I couldn't wait to taste he succulent soul to taste, and the other half I dreaded the day I couldn't hear his voice, ordering me to do his biding from the minuscule house hold task to those that would stain his flawless skin or the times he'd call me in the middle of the night to stay there with him till he fell asleep.
After his change I felt down in the beginning thinking it was a waste that he became something I was. Eternally trapped with a heartless child, though just like when we first made our contract my feelings for him returned through the four years of looking for the delinquents of my world, then they became even stronger till I knew I could not live my eternity without him by my side, bonded to me mind body and soul.
Now here he was sleeping naked pressed against my body from a night, where he too expressed his feelings towards me, releasing the six years worth of pent up feelings. His head was tucked under my chin as I tightened my grip around his lithe frame, he moaned as he snuggled even closer to me. I smiled kissing his forehead. Feeling his powers begin to stir I knew that he was starting to wake up from his slumber.
" Se-sebastian?" He said fluttering his eyes open calling me with a sleepy tone. Both eyes found me as his face broke into a breath taking smile. "g'morning." He yawned. I kissed his forehead one more time.
" Yes, good morning indeed, my dear." I greeted. He smiled trying to shift up to kiss me only to wince in pain. He looked up at me with a pout on his face. I rolled my eyes and bent down to kiss his nose.
" That's your fault my dear. If I may recall it was you after all that decided that we should 'just do it'. " I recalled he pouted again as I sat up and moved on towards my closet. None of Ciel's clothes were in here, which surprises me, so I handed him one of my pajama tops as I put on the bottoms. He held out his arms towards me as I picked him up since he was sore from last nights events. I put him down on his feet seeing that he has grown a bit since my shirt wasn't past his knees anymore but it was still around mid-thigh. He tried walking but was still in pain. I put my hands behind his knees as I held him bridal style and descended down to my kitchen, which for some odd reason was still hustling with activity.
" Good morning love birds." Roxanne said smiling as she went down more quickly then I did in one of her silk nightgowns. Ciel and I gave each other a bewildered look as I went down more swiftly to see that half my siblings were here and my parents were cooking breakfast.
" Oh look all of my little ones are finally down. Sebastian put Ciel down he can walk himself." my mother ordered. I looked at them all strange. I put Ciel down next to one of the empty chairs as he hopped into his seat.
" I told you they were fucking like rabbits." Axel whispered smirking towards Ciel. Roxanne elbowed him in the rib for making the comment as he started wheezing. " Don't be a hypocrite!" she hissed.
" She's right Axel if I remember right you both were even worse." I smirked settling down in the seat next to Ciel as I placed a cup of tea in front of my little kitten. Axel and Roxanne sat there red faced as I'm sure they were thinking back to their own engagement.
" Well at least we know it's going to be soon that you both will have to take the bonding ceremony." Dante commented trying to wake up a still sleeping Salem, who suddenly straightened up and glared at Demitri.
" Don't even try it Dem!" he growled. I sighed remembering this was how things were before everyone hit their final change. I rubbed my temple knowing that someone was going to end up with something by the end of this breakfast.
" Why are you all still here?" I questioned. Ciel seemed to know my stress as he held my free hand and ran his thumb on the top trying to calm me down. Everyone seemed to stop all activity as they all laughed.
" You are one of the brightest demons around Abbadon, but, come on. You really don't know?" Axel snickered. I was about to open my mouth when Ciel interrupted m
" He does, but I don't, remember?" Ciel said clearing it up as he leaned back on his chair only to hiss remembering he was sore. He looked at me and sighed moving from his chair to my lap. More comfortable now he leans his back on my chest as he crosses his arms and legs his signature position as I call it. Mother finishes the last of her cooking as she and father both join in on the table. The question is forgotten as everyone stacks their plates with breakfast. Making snide comments at each other as we ate there was a slight food fight between Axel and Demitri before Ciel decided to freeze both projectiles that was heading straight for each of them. Both nearly missed as they looked at Ciel.
" Don't play with food while at the table. I hate it and next time it won't just be your food that's going to freeze." Ciel warned finishing off his breakfast.
" Well now that that's over. Let's move down to business, and I'm sure your more comfortable with that, I'm sure Mr. Phantomhive." My father said addressing Ciel as if they were business associates. Ciel played his nobility and company owner card as he smiled and folded his hands together.
" Of course that would be easier for me to understand the situation Mr... should I call you..." Ciel said as it ammused my father." Michealis, Ciel, Michealis." my father said. Everyone at the table seemed to smirk.
"Father, just, why the hell are you all here? " I asked wrapping my arms around Ciel's waist moving on with the topic.
" Well son, what you're holding is what we're all here for." He said. I looked towards Ciel as he looked up towards me moving back towards my father. " Remember the tradition Abbadon you have to show the family what you brought your mate." I looked towards Ciel again and remembered the other night I proposed to Ciel. Everyone looked at us with anticipation though I understand what they're asking for I wanted to present it to Ciel first in private before revealing it to the family.
" What are you talking about father?" I asked playing coy. Salem rolled his eyes as he pointed his fork towards me with a slight glare.
" Oh please, Sebatian you know if I concentrated enough I could hear every single thing that happens within a mile radius and it doesn't matter if your rooms are soundproof remember who and what I am little brother." Salem reminded with authority in his voice." Now show your engagement trinket!" He demanded bouncing in his seat.
" Dude that is so not how you present an engagement to the family, the couple has to do it themselves!" Ben said for the first time today raising his hands in the air. Salem looked at Benjamin with an annoyed and offended look.
" We don't care, it's not like you implied that to my own engagement!" Salem huffed playing with the said object sitting in the hollow of his throat. During the time of his and Dante's engagement when Ben practically harassed them till Dante showed the black opal necklace to his dearly beloved. " You're just doing this because of the damn time you had in America you bastard! In fact if memory serves right you did the same thing to Axel and Lorenzo! " Salem growled lungling towards Ben thankfully today didn't end in blood as Dante's quick reflexes caught his irritated mate as he plopped him onto his lap and faced him away from our brother.
" To be honest I don't even think I saw it myself yet." Ciel said ignoring the bickering. Putting my attention back to my young master I pulled a silk pouch out of my pajama's pocket. I open the silk bag in front of Ciel taking it out myself. Everyone gasped at the ring I brought out, except of course for Ciel who just had a smile on his face. I presented him a radiant cut twenty carat blue diamond ring sitting in an intricately woven silver band. It was similar to Ciel's family ring but of course this one was even more lovely than before.
" Abbadon, where did you find that?" My father asked in a soft voice. It seems that everyone was shocked to see my grandmother's original engagement ring. I smirked ignoring them now as I let Ciel's hands run over the ring as I took it from his hand and placed it on his left ring finger. He smiled holding out his hand admiring the ring.
" It's even more beautiful than my family ring." He said clutching the hand closer to his chest as he looked up at me. I cupped his face in one of my hands as I rested my forehead against his.
" The best part is there isn't any curses on it other than becoming apart of my family." I told him making him laugh. "That could still count as a curse." He grumbled. We laughed softly at each other when I heard my father cough.
" Sebastian. How did you find Persephone's engagement ring?" Mother asked with the softest tone. We both looked towards her as she looked at Ciel's hand. She had that longing look on her face. Ciel looked at her and up at me wearily knowing that look on his face I wrapped my arms even tighter around him.
" It was in one of her parlors, the one that was entirely black, hidden within one of her music boxes." I explained. She walked up to the two of us and lifted Ciel's hand. She smiled down at the ring.
" The Queen's Longing." She called it. " This ring signifies the wait that my mother always had to endure when she was away from our family and your grandfather." She said looking at me. " We might be demons Sebastian but remember that we too were once angels and all angels had to have been humans at one point." Looking towards Ciel. " Take care of that ring my dear, that ring is a very special ring to this family and you must protect it. That ring does not just hold sentimental value for us, but power as well. Don't ask it's better if you don't." She said placing his hand back in his lap turning back around to her seat with Father.
" Now that's over we only have one more thing to go over." my mother said with a sickly sweet tone to her voice and by the looks of it it's not good. " The Engagement Party." Ah and the truth finally reveals itself, honestly if the first three weddings weren't within the family the engagement present would be the same reaction.
" Are you serious?" Ciel asked with a deadpanned tone. My mother nodded with a full blown smile upon her face.
" Oh yes and what a fantastic reception we'll have. I'm going to make it a gala between all the nobility and lower ranking royalty in all of hell! First we're going to have to start..." My mother started explaining with pure excitement, I didn't want to hear her ramble on about preparation the prepareations. I was already tired of even dealing with them. Why couldn't this have waited till later in the day, or better yet the following day.
" She's going overboard with this." Ciel whispered to me. Apparently he was paying attention to my Mother rambling about preparations. I smirked and gave a slight thought. " Just wait till the actual wedding." I said aloud and he rolled his eyes. " Someone help us." He groaned leaning against my chest. I chuckled seeing his discomfort but knew it was all in good intent I kissed his forehead letting him know that I sympathized with him. We went back to them only to come back and hear my mother, sisters, Demitri, and Salem going over plans for the engagement. Mother looked back towards us and decided to drag Ciel into the conversation.
" Oh Ciel, you must have a new outfit that day. I want you to look even more wonderful than usual. Lu and I are going to have everyone dismissed for today to prepare for tomorrow, I can't wait to rub it in that succubus' face that I have a better looking in-law!" my mother squealed. Ciel looked up at me questioningly as I shrugged myself knowing that the period that I disappeared from here many things must have occured.
" It was while you were gone Sebastian. The Incubus second prince was married a hundred or so years ago and apparently his bride is even prettier than Salem, Demitri, and I." Roxanne growled crossing her arms over her chest. " Don't worry, babe. To me you're still the most beautiful being in the entire universe." Axel complimented his mate making her calm down a bit.
" Now looking at Ciel, he is the only person here with true blue eyes and in our society that in it of itself is a rare find. His face resembles those of our lighter counter parts if you will, compared to our looks dare I say it, but he looks like an angel." Roxanne practically cringed at the word but I knew where she was coming from. I remember my own counterpart and though we looked the same we were still different. The angel Angela was a fallen, she was still too pure to become one of us thus her state when I killed her.
Here there is no one like Ciel, even past angels have had changes to their looks after their Change that just make them sinful, but after Ciel's change he still looks like he did before only a bit bigger. His eyes still retained that innocent look even through his hard times, his face still retained it's roundness, and as usual he resembles a porcelain doll that needs to be handled delicately. Only I know better than to underestimate my Dearest.
" Sebastian stop admiring the Little Cat, you can do that as long as you want for a month after you wedding, heck you can do whatever you want to the little brat. Just pay attention!" Axel growled towards me. I didn't notice I was starring at Ciel though then again I was doing it through out the entire time they were here so why bother now?
" He's right you ass, don't leave me like this when it's your family that's trying to torture me." Ciel second slightly elbowing me in the ribs. I looked over to see the original four that were planning were still conversing now along with Father and Dante. They didn't seem to notice but still kept their voices loud enough for us to hear. Apparently Ben thought this the best time to take his mid-morning nap. Axel turned towards me and growled seeing that I was still ignoring the conversation.
" You know I hate meetings that have to do with preparations for weddings, anniversaries and all that other nonsense! I don't get why don't we just have what the fucking humans call a shot-gun wedding. Just do the simple bloody vows then move on with our live, dammit it's even just fifteen minute not a bloody two hour ceremony! We don't even practice their religions! Dad's in charge not the guy upstairs. If I don't get to zone out then neither do you!" Axel complained.
" The reason why it's two hours is because of our traditions Axel and even though dad is in charge we still need the people from top side to come to show that we are still uphold our side of the deal as to not have a war...again. By letting them come to all royal descendants weddings, and they in turn invite at least one of us for their own weddings. Angels choose if they want to plan it or not, if they don't they get someone else to do it. But we have to do this ourselves as a tradition, since it's a way of torture to those who hate these things and those who absolutely love it. So stop complaining and you guys have to pay attention I don't like doing this as much as you do, I only do this because of Demitri. Now shut the hell up. Ciel, Sebastian this is your event so you have to pay attention as well." Lorenzo scolded the three of us and nudged Benjamin awake to get him to pay attention too.
After two and a half hours of planning my mother, the other submissives and Ciel, after Lorenzo's scolding, have come up with a good reception and a very dramatic one at that. We all went our separate ways for minute to get changed into better casual clothing and met up back at the dinning room while Anna and Ben were sent back to head quarters to send out invitations and supervise the preparations for the grand ballroom, Ciel and I were split up between the dominants and submissives.
I'm just glad I'm with my brothers, Ciel on the other hand...good luck my love.
Ciel's POV
This is the third time I've been dragged out of a shop for finding 'the perfect outfit' usually I have Sebastian call someone up to design and make me a perfect outfit, but no, since it's a very special event, though not as special as the wedding, we have to go look for it by hand and get it tailored. Also they made it an excuse that the shops will have to know my face soon as I shall become the second prince of hell's new consort, the worse part my new title shall become princess once we are mated.
I'm sitting in another shop as the shopkeeper 'looks for things that would look absolutely fabulous on me', as Salem says. I look down at the ring Sebastian presented me earlier as I smile down towards it. It's even more breathtaking, elegant and romantic than what I would imagine Sebastian giving to me, but then again everything he did was beyond my expectations. I don't regret telling Sebastian I said yes, but I regret that Salem has ears of a bat, or else Sebastian and I would have kept this between us for a while and let them figure it out themselves later. Though this does get things done faster I still don't like it.
" Alright, Cerulean-sama, we have some items that would surely please you my lord. " An Asian demon said bowing her head. Her tail flicked around as she showed be to the fitting rooms. She guided me to one of the larger rooms and let me do it myself.
" Darling, remember to come out when your done dressing so we can see it and evaluate if it's good enough for your grand entrance." Lilithe said with pride in her voice, I swear if it weren't for her nose, lips, the shape of her eyes, and hair. I would've thought that she was my own mother excited for my wedding. She seems more thrilled for me than she is that it's Sebastian, who is her own child, getting married.
Eighteen outfits they still weren't satisfied with what they had in here. Salem and Roxanne were already irritated seeing that nothing went to their standards. Soon the woman came back to check on us.
" Is there anything else you have in here!" Roxanne finally snapped. " If there isn't you're just like every other worthless shop we've been in! You're suppose to be the best of the best Yuko and this is all you have? Tomorrow is one of the biggest events we're going to throw before the end of the century. Conjure up something that would shock us Yuko, we won't care what it is just do it. If not I'm just going to end up throwing you to the nearest pit filled with my pets, or better yet, I will throw you into the fourth ring cursed and bound unable to move or say a single word. Leaving you to those mongrels." She threatened exasperatedly and tired of this so-far fruitless experience.
" Oh?" the demon, Yuko, said questioningly she had a smirk on her face as she turned towards Roxanne. " Roku-sama, you didn't have to threaten me, dear friend. All you had to do was tell me and I would bring it out." She said waving her hand as a black bag appeared in front of us. She pushed me back into the dressing room bag in hand as she closed the curtain behind me.
Seeing myself in the mirror I couldn't help but smirk at my reflection. I came out of the dressing room to the awaiting submissives and as soon as I stepped out I finally had them speechless. I put my right hand on my hip and leaned on my left leg huffing waiting for their answer.
" Oh Ciel that's beautiful!" Lilithe said.
" It's absolutely gorgeous on you." Demitri added.
" It's going to steal Sebastian's breath away, not to mention the hearts of others." Salem smirked as he examined me from head to toe.
" Oh he's right, you'll be worth kidnapping." Roxanne said. We all gave her a look as she cackled like her husband. " What you all know it's true, it nearly happened to Demitri." She stated looking towards her brother. " You were just so lucky that Enz put so many charms on you, and that present of your's." She said poking the gold wrist gauntlets adorned with bold blue gems on Demitri's arms. I never really payed attention to them before this but then again I never knew there could be more than rings that could be presented to a betrothed.
"Sebastian better keep a very close eye on you my little pet." Roxanne said winking as she warned about what could happen tomorrow night. I gulped knowing that was true and, though I'm sure he's doing better now and behaving, I don't want to go through another Claude incident.
" Lucretia I'm sure that Abbadon will have something up his sleeve for our little one, Astarot did for you when you did it. He practically burned half the house of Goblins." Lilithe said with a sigh of nostalgia at the memory. I saw Roxanne have a smirk of her own play on her face as she fingered a red ring around her finger. Considering her husband's ego and color of the rather large red gemstone I would assume that was her own engagement ring. She clapped her hands together braking my trance on thinking of other possibilities that would be given to a couple.
"Wonderful Yuko, this is perfect. I have to say you hide many things under your sleeve." Roxanne complimented as she straightened out the outfit that was on me.
" Thank you for the compliment, Princess." Yuko smiled. Roxanne lightly pushed me back into the changing room to get out of the thing and gave her the bag.
"We'll be back again Yuko, for now thank you." Roxanne said as we paid for the thing as they exchanged a few more fairwells. Once out the store we made our way towards the main family castle. Roxanne stopped for a minute as she took the lead of our little group. Taking this as a signal everyone followed her through the castle.
" Come I want to see something before we start with tomorrow's gala." Roxanne said taking us out to what looked like a practice arena. I looked at her in confusion as everyone was taking off most of their clothes only leaving them in their undergarments. " Don't worry Ciel, we're not going to do anything. We're just going transform into our true nature. As tradition states for the engagement gala. All parties must be in their true state. I want to see how to exactly arrange ourselves into a fashionable party." She said.
All four of them quickly transformed and soon were all sporting similar new attributes to their person. Lilithe and Roxanne grew black feathered wings, like the glimpse I see of Sebastian's true form. Demitri and Salem both sported full leathered wings, Demitri's looked more sharp and edgy while Salem's was agile and delicate. All four had two horns sprouting from their heads either wrapping around their face, pointed straight up, curling towards the sides, or backwards. They also sprouted tails in a variety as well forked, classic point, feathered at the tip, and scaled with spikes at the end. They all looked towards each other to look at their eyes seeing as they all were blood red, smiling towards one another revealing fangs, and nodded in approval seeing that nothing went wrong, till they saw that I still wasn't changed.
" Ciel?" Lilithe said with a bewildered look. " Why aren't you in this state?" She questioned.
" I don't know how Lily." I told her truthfully. Everyone looked shocked for a moment as worry took over when Demitri suddenly facepalmed his forehead.
" Oh right, he wasn't able to complete his training with Ig and Jones before he changed so he wasn't able to find out his own state yet." Demitri said holding out his hand with long sharp blak nails. I took the offered hand as he put me in the middle. " Now, since you're already a full fledged demon you're state should be able to come out quickly. So we're going to have to work on that." Demitri said leading the other three as they all started to tell me exactly how to come into my full state. Three hours of gruesome work and concentration I was finally able to complete my state.
My wings were like Lily and Roxanne's feathery ones only with a hint of black and silver depending on how you looked, the horns were as if they were tucked behind my ears, and my tail was similar to that of the animal form I took on from before, a sleek long furry black tail. My nails, already black, grew and were pointed like the rest of the family and as I stretched my lips back I was able to feel fangs extend. Lily smiled at my accomplishment and sighed in content.
" Now you are ready for the next step my dear. " She smiled with pride in her work as she held onto the bag. " Now it's time for us to retire before this affair." Taking that as a signal we all went home to our respectful houses.
Sebastian's POV
I hate it when my mother insist that we do tomorrow's event due to tradition. If only she wasn't the Queen of Hell then this would never happen. Alas, my poor luck. Only though my dearest even worse as he is stuck with my mother and the girls most likely going from store to store looking for the perfect attire. Though I do hope that he has mastered his devil state, it's the right of every demon to have their species state showing where in this hierarchy of our society.
I'm just glad that my father and brothers aren't as picky as the 'females' in the family. We went back to the main castle and went to my former quarters of the castle to the expansive closet that everyone of us has inside my childhood home. Axel and Dante went in and came out with six different sets of clothing.
" Alright choose the one which is more...flashy, formal, sensual, and...fitting." Axel said reading from a note most likely from Roxanne. " Well that's complete bull shit." He said dully throwing it over his shoulder. " Just put them on and lets choose which one doesn't look the most ridiculous on you." He instructed shoving me behind the changing screen along with the different ensembles. The first two weren't bad but the one I liked the most was my third one. It was a black leather double buttoned black uniformed the cuffs tight on my wrist, tight black trousers that showed my toned legs, knee high pointed high heeled boots, and a high collared tattered cape, one that's been with me through many battles and hardships along side my brothers.
" Now that I haven't seen since the last war." Axel commented getting up to see my cape. Father came up as well as he looked at the scorches, holes and tears proud seeing the damage done.
" The sign of a very successful Prince my boys. Your's was in the same condition Axel, if not worse because of your abilities. A tattered royals cape shows the sign of victory for the royals and a warning for those who try to overthrow us." He said proudly. " And if I'm not mistaken there's even one in worse condition than this?" He asked. I nodded my head knowing the one hidden deep within the closet." Than that is the one you wear for your wedding, this is for tomorrow." My father instructed.
" Well then this seems to be the end of our mission for your attire for tomorrow little brother." Dante announced. Everyone ended up in the sofa set within my room and lounged.
" Now all we need is charms, runes, spells and all of the other things for Ciel's protection tomorrow. We don't need a near experience again." Lorenzo said with a grim sigh. " Just don't worry about it Sebastian I'll make most of them, just make some for Ciel during the party. Think of it as a present for you." I gave him my thanks as I gathered my things and sent them back to my own home as we headed off to Lorenzo's for preparations.
The day of the event I woke up to a cold bed, literally. Ciel probably was already kidnapped by the ladies when I was surrounded by small chunks of ice and a bucket of water splashed upon my face. Of course I strangled the perpetrator, Axel, only to be stopped mere seconds to succeeding in murdering my younger brother. Father of course intervened not wanting to lose a son, his first heir,or being murdered by his mate. As an apology he dried the bed as I went to freshen up for today. Returning to my room in the clothes that we all agreed in, I was pleased in seeing that he managed to keep my bed in tack I forgave the idiot as we headed towards HQ where the event will take place. We all changed our appearance to our state identical yet different in looks all sporting bright red eyes and long sharp black nails.
Father instructed me to wait in the hallway at the top of the stairs leading into the ballroom till he made his introduction. Outside I heard the party gradually grow and at it's loudest I heard the doorman call out all of my siblings names along with Alois and my dear Ciel. The party seemed to get a bit more quieter till my father called for attention.
" Friends, Colleagues, Nobles, Demons." I heard father quieted at the sound of father's voice. " As you all know my middle offspring, Abbadon, has left two weeks ago in the search for the perfect engagement present for his beloved. He recently has come home and is now ready to reveal his new bride for us. Now please give your attention to Prince Abbadon." My father cued. No sooner did the door open as I stepped forward looking down at the guests who were all sitting at tables or on the edge of the dance floor eagerly awaiting my choice.
" Good friends." I began. Calling them that was sickening to me but alas we had to keep a peace in the mass keeping them content where they are to keep the family's reign. " Like my father said I am ready to tell you whom I have chosen for my bride. As the second prince in line for the throne, behind my brother Crown Prince Astarot. I must have a mate that will help me assist my brother and my sister when their reign begins. This mate I have chosen is someone that both have approved of and have even grown attached to them." I said looking towards my brother and sister as they smirked next to our old masters. " Now, my I present to you my beloved Kitten, Cerulean." I announced.
Ciel was making his way up to me in the most shocking outfit I've ever see on him yet. Dressed in white, I don't know how they got this color down here. He was wearing a short dress off the shoulders, the sleeves were tattered and ripped making it look like ribbons wrapped around his arms. Slits ran horizontally on his sides widening at his hips, each swing of his hips you could see a little more skin popping out, his legs were left bare for all to see till it was tucked in his white thigh high boots and the only black on him was the gloves that covered his delicate hands. What hit me the most was his state. He looked like nothing I've ever seen before, His horns framed around his face and his wings were unique it changed colors in the light. He looked like an angel that's just been dragged down bordering dark and light.
The stares and whispers he got as he came up to join my side made me rigid and grow possessive of my future bride. Wrapping my arms around his waist he took in stride as he placed a hand on my chest.
" Hello Love." I greeted He smiled up at me as he looked out towards the rest of the crowd. You could see the jealousy, envy, and mixed emotions of the people around us. Proud to see that even as a demon he could still cause quite the stir among others. He turned my attention back towards him as I saw his red eyes glisten as he gave me an adoring smile.
" I've been looking for you all day." He said with a slight smirk on his face.
" I'm sorry my dear but it seems that I've been busy." I said sarcastically. He put his other hand on the other side of my cheek as he gave me a small pout. " Whatever you fool, I've missed you the whole day now I order you to kiss me." He said boldly making the command as I happily obliged. There seemed to be more noise and stirs between them all.
" Nooooo!" A pitchy voice screeched. We broke our kiss to cover our ears from the horrible voice to turn and see Rowina seething in anger.
" How dare you steal my fiancee!" She yelled pointing an accusing finger towards Ciel." You're nothing but a filthy third rate demon! You shouldn't even be here. You seduced Abbadon into loving you. Just like what you're doing to the rest of the dominants here!" She continued. The guests all started to stir as she mentioned the dominants and as she said when I looked more closely into their eyes they were indeed after my Ciel.
" What are you blubbering about you deaf-toned bitch?" Ciel said with an icey tone.
" Don't play dumb with me you whore! While Sebastian was gone you probably whored yourself off to the other royal bachelors in here. To make sure that if Sebastian didn't chose you, you'd still have the rich life! Now all the boys here want a piece of your ass. Admit it your nothing but a dirty-filthy whore!" She ragged. I felt Ciel grow rigid at every word Rowina spit out I looked down to see him giving her an icey-glare. He moved out of my grip for a moment and folded his arms in front of his chest.
" Would you like some help my dear?" I asked in a questioning tone. He looked back towards me with a smile on his face. " No, I've got this Darling."He said emphasizing the last word knowing that this would piss Rowina off more and it pleased me to know how much he was growing. "I want you to see a new trick I've learned while you were gone." He said. I nodded my head as he turned back around returning back to his cold look.
" You know what I think I've had just enough of you." I heard him say in a soft and deadly tone. Rowina just rolled her eyes at Ciel and scoff.
" What are you going to do to me huh, push me around like before? I knew you were weak you don't even show any real type of power!" She gloated. People who underestimated him before never really knew the blunt of his force, but then again this is all to different from the events that happened to us before. " Besides I have all these men to help me out." She said signaling for her henchman to come out from the shadows of the room you could see them manifesting themselves in the room.
" Are you challenging me you delusional bint?" Ciel questioned with an emotionless face.
" This isn't a challenge since you don't prove to be one." Rowina sneered. Ciel just sighed taking off his gloves. From the corner of my eye I can see that some of my siblings were trying to get away from any near henchmen moving together until they were in a safe distance. Everyone seemed to take a hint and let the two deal with this on their own, out of curiosity and of fear.
" I don't understand how you think, but if you think I am easy to deal with then very well." He said motioning his hands. If I wasn't watching him I couldn't believe my eyes to see that with a flash all of her henchmen were face down on the marble floors. The air grew cold around the room as you see it starting to frost up. "You just had to ruin my good mood." Ciel sighed checking his fingernails. Rowina looked at all her men in shock.
" What the hell are you guys doing just laying there! Get your lazy asses up and attack that pipsqueak!" She commanded panicking. " Get up!" She screamed as she kicked one of them turning him over to reveal a giant hole on his neck. Sputtering out blood as he tried to talk to his mistress. She looked at them in shock before looking at Ciel again. Enraged with how quickly Ciel took them out Rowina seemed to start releasing her own powers but didn't even phase him.
" What did you do to them you bitch!" She demanded. Guessing by the tensing of Ciel's shoulders he must have focused a glare on her as I saw fear ran through her body as she looked up at Ciel.
" This." He said as he snapped his fingers. Now She was held high up with ice spikes coming up from the ground at her neck, both her wrists, her abdomen, and her two ankles.
"Woackkoawhawllk." She tried to speak only to gasp and have blood sputtering out of her mouth.
" I'm sure you're finished talking now." Ciel said waving his hand as the spikes shrunk to the ground dropping her in a heap on the floor. He looked up towards the rest of the crowd. " Anyone else have something to say to me?" He asked with authority in his tone. The room was quiet as I stood at his side once more wrapping an arm around his waist kissing his temple.
" You did well Love." I complimented turning towards our guest and smirked. I quickly gathered my shadows and cleaned up Rowina and her henchmen putting them in a dungeon somewhere under HQ.
" As you can see, he's a very able mate. So please let's make this all clear to you. I know that Cerulean would never do those things that Rowina has accused him of for you see his main sin is the same as mine." I said he looked up at me as we looked forward to take on a more united front.
" We are demons of Pride." We said in unison. My father started to clap seeing a glimpse of what Ciel could do. The rest of the crowd followed pleasing my father as he came up the stairs followed by my mother flanked by my brothers and sisters standing a certain level of steps on the stairs all clapping.
" Presenting the newly engaged couple, my son the second prince of hell, Prince Abbadon and my future in-law and soon Princess-to-be Cerulean!"
Ok well this is a little delayed since it was hard to get the last part of the chapter together first off how both are dressed since this is a very special occasion, jeez this already reminds me of the wedding I'm going to have to work on soon too. I'm glad it turned out this way though it's not that bad and I absolutely love the end of this. Even though she's an original character of mine I just love pissing Rowina off.
Well this has got to be one of my biggest chapters 6,702 words, I wonder if I'll go longer... Anyways I'm very excited to see what you guys think about it this time and please feel free to express your emotions to the year anniversary chapter of Who are We. I just hope this satisfies you all and can't wait to see feedback.
