Black Roses
Guten Tag, people. I am so happy to announce that this is the 25th chapter of "Black Roses", meaning that there are a total of 5 more chapters left in the Black Roses series. I want to thank those who have followed, favored, and reviewed this story. I want to thank you all for the many views this story has gotten since the beginning. Now, let's get to the chapter.
It was early in the morning, like 12:30, when Sebastian woke me up. I gave the angriest look I could give him at the moment, because I was still pretty tired when he then dragged me out of bed. I had no choice but to follow him and see what he had somehow heard while sleeping. We reached my living room to find nothing or no one in it.
"See, no one is in here. Let's get back to sleep before I fall down and then sleep on the floor," I said, pulling him the other way but he stood there. I looked at him and pulled again, but he didn't move, he just stood there. I released his grip on my arm and walked the other way, only to bump into someone and that someone to grab me.
"How nice is it that you and I keep on meeting, Alexis," a very reminding voice to me said. I looked up and saw purple eyes and white hair in the dark. I gasped at remembering who it was and tried to push him away, but he wouldn't move. I heard someone turn around and looked behind me to see Sebastian glaring at the person holding me.
"Let her go, Ash," he said, deafeningly. Ash chuckled and looked down at me. "Your brother and your little friends may have been able to get you away from me, but now with no one to help you, you seem so helpless, Alexis."
"Excuse me?"
"Watch closely, Alexis, watch as I take away something important to you." And with the snap of his fingers, Sebastian fell to the floor, choking and clutching his heart. I looked at Sebastian before glaring at Ash, tears welling in my eyes.
"Stop this, now," I said, trying to hide the fear of losing someone in my voice.
"Oh, you want me to do more? Fine, that is okay with me," Ash said, making the pain he was giving Sebastian harder than before. I screamed and kicked then punched Ash, running to Sebastian. When I picked him up, his mouth had blood seeping out of it and the area around his heart was red because of him grabbing it so hard. I shook him back and forward until his bloody hand grabbed my wrist.
"Get out of here while you still can, Alexis. Go check on Alexia, Alois, and Grell to see if they are okay. Don't worry about your nee-sama, I'll be okay. Remember, I am merely-"
"Just a butler. I remember, and thank you Sebastian," I said. I stood and grabbed my Adventure Time jacket, Converse, and my keys before running out my house.
{No one's P.O.V}
Sebastian stood up and looked at Ash. Ash saw a row of sharp teeth with fangs and back away, remembering what had happened to him last time.
"No, you monster! Stay away!" he yelled. Sebastian chuckled darkly and appeared before him in a flash.
"I do believe I owe you something, Mister Ash. Let me inflict that same pain onto you, my dear friend," Sebastian said, before clutching Ash's throat and squeezing it until Ash couldn't breathe anymore. Sebastian collected Ash's soul and grabbed his jacket.
"An angel's soul could never compare to someone else's soul, and their soul will soon be mine. Oh, it will be mine."
{Alexis' P.O.V}
I drove quickly to the Phantomhive Estate and hoped that Alois, Alexia, and Grell were okay. Along the way I met July, Kanade, and Snow, and they asked what was I doing up so early.
"No time to talk. We need to see if Alois and the others are okay," I said, telling them why I was speeding down the road like a crazy kid. They hopped right into the car and I drove faster than before to the Phantomhive Estate, screaming and cries all I could hear behind me from the other girls. Once we reached the Phantomhive Estate they all were happy to be on the ground and not in a speeding car with some crazy girl who was driving faster than Sonic the Hedgehog could run. I ran up to the door and Alois answered, looking perfect. I pinched his cheeks and he cried loudly, Grell coming to the door.
"Ariana, you came! Oh my, at first I thought I was going to alone with it being just me and Trancy," Grell cried, hugging me. 'Same as always. And he doesn't seem hurt of anything.' I thought.
"Wait, don't you have Alexia?" I asked.
"I don't care for that tramp! Don't you know I hate brats who hang around other brats!" Grell yelled. Alois smiled weakly because his cheek were practically still hurting from me pinching them like I was an old woman with long nails. Alois and Grell moved aside and let us in before we all heard something, more like someone, fall to the ground and grunt out in pain. We all looked back and saw Sebastian on his knees, clutching his heart.
"Bassy!" Grell cried. Grell ran towards him and he began crying, seeing his poor 'Bassy' hurt and bleeding made him cry to the point were his make-up was running. I looked at July and she shook her head.
"Pwease," I said in a baby voice no one, not even Sebastian, could resist. July shook her head again and I said it again, but added the puppy eyes. She looked like she was about to cry when she finally admitted defeat.
"Fine! I'll heal Sebastian, but if I heal him then you have to buy me anything I want," July said, stomping up to Sebastian and Grell. Grell sneered and Sebastian looked up at July.
"Sure, whatever. Just make sure you don't hurt him in the making," I said.
"Yeah, that won't be something I can't keep, Missy."
...
It was 7:00 in the morning when Sebastian woke up. Everyone was around him, excluding Claude and Ciel because they are all the way in Japan. Alexia held a wet towel to his head and looked him in the eyes.
"Are you okay, Sebastian-sama?" She asked kindly. Sebastian nodded his head politely before looking at me.
"Are you okay, Ariana?" Sebastian asked, calling me 'Ariana' instead of 'Alexis'. "Sure, I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be!" I said, standing to my feet and stretching out my body. Sebastian smiled and looked at his clearly unscratched chest. Grell smiled and Alois just sat there, staring at the wall.
"Hey," Alois said."Since I don't think it's safe for Ale-I mean Ariana to live by herself anymore since Ash is out for her-"
"Ash is dead. I was lucky enough to kill him and make it all the way over here last night with the little strength I had left," Sebastian said, stopping Alois mid-sentence."Continue."
"Anyways, like I was saying before I was stopped, I think Ariana should choose who she wants to live with."
"Um, I don't think I need any protection. Besides, I'm just as strong as you all, so no need to worry about me," I said. Alois shook his head in disagreement and looked at Sebastian.
"Well, what do you think, Sebastian?"
"I think you're right, Alois. We never know who could be out there trying to come and hurt Ariana, so it would be best if you do choose someone to live with you, Ariana."
"I said no, and that's that. I am not letting anyone ruin what freedom I do have to myself, okay? If and when I want someone to live under the same roof as me, then I'll tell you," I said, standing up. Sebastian and Alois followed and began walking after me as I left out the house.
"Don't you think it's not so safe to be out here like this, Ariana? I mean someone could come and just grab you if they wanted to," Alois shouted as I walked down the street.
"Yeah right! And I just kick 'em right in the area where it'll hurt them the most, must I tell ya!"
...
I walked into the Food Court in around Central Park, everyone just staring at me. Yeah, it wasn't everyday Californians saw a punky girl walk around in safety pinned clothing and combat boots with hair blacker than black itself and spike in the back. Yep, that's me through their eyes. I walked up to the Chinese food thing and order what I would normally order. I grabbed my root beer and my food before sitting down in a chair away from everyone else. I felt all eyes on me and glanced up to see a group of girls dressed in pink standing before me, drinking on low-fat smoothies.
"Hey, freak, get lost somewhere else," said the leader of the group, I guess.
"I'm so sorry, but I've chosen to sit here and eat my food, peacefully." They all laughed before one opened their smoothie's top and tried to put it on my head, but because of my quickness, I moved my food and drink to another table, along with my body. Everyone looked at me like I was a freak show then, wondering how I could move so fast that no one barely noticed I moved, except for the girls in pink.
"How did you move so fast?!" One of the groupies asked. I shrugged my shoulders and threw my plate of food at the leaders face, aka Miranda Osborne because I read her name and everything. Yep, I can do that with my powers/magic stuff.
"Oops, sorry about that, Miranda. I guess my aim is off by a tad bit," I said.
"Haha, very funny, loser. But wait until my daddy gets here," Miranda said. I acted all scared and looked around.
"Oh my, I'm soo scared. Well, when your daddy gets here, ask him if he can run faster than the speed of light." Miranda sneered before a tall man appeared beside her. She looked at him then pointed to me.
"That girl right there did this to me, daddy. I want her in prison," Miranda told her father. He looked at me with the same look his prep daughter gave me and walked towards me.
"Come on, young woman. You're going to-" He started to say when he noticed, along with everyone else, that I was gone.
"YOLO!" I shouted. They all looked up and saw me standing there."Catch me if you can!" I disappeared from human sight and reappeared outside of the Central area. I saw Sebastian and Alois, standing there right before me, not at all pleased.
"I, um, bye!" I said before I began running for my dear life. I heard running behind me and could at least tell Sebastian and Alois were behind me, running at lighting speed. I ran faster until I was caught up in a big crowd. I jumped from where I was to see that Sebastian and Alois were looking it the group to see where I was. I jumped further into the sky, and plotted myself onto of a roof.
"What a relief it is to run like you've never ran before. Ah, my muscles feel way better than before," I said, stretching my arms as I walked on the roof. I heard footsteps behind me and instantly knew that it was Sebastian, because Alois was nowhere to be found.
"Alexis, what did you do in the food court?" Sebastian asked.
"Nothing much, just did some flash stepping, a quick disappearing and reappearing, and my powers to see someone's name and whatnot," I said, standing like Shikamaru from Naruto. Sebastian shook his head and appeared directly in front of me, taking hold of my neck.
"Tell me the truth, or I'll choke you Alexis," he said. I tried to push him away, but to no avail. His grip became harder, making me gasp for air.
"I am telling you the truth," I said, trying to catch my breath even with his hand slowly gripping harder around my neck. My eyes quickly turned red and I pushed Sebastian away from me, but I totally forgot that we were on a roof. I screamed as I grabbed the edge of the roof with both hands before I looked down. I felt tears run down my cheeks as Sebastian ran towards me.
"No! Stay away you idiot! If it wasn't for you choking me like that then I would have never been in this place!" I yelled at Sebastian. He stopped moving and backed away.
"Fine then, I guess I'll go home and leave you here until you decided to fall, Oni Hime," Sebastian said. He disappeared, but I felt his presence somewhere below where I was, holding on for my dear life. I heard screaming, cries for help, and in the distance a fire truck coming to where I was.
"Oh this is the worst day ever, must I tell ya."
...
It had been hours since the scene where I was about to fall to my doom and I was perched in my old room, on my old bed. I wore nothing but a simple black tank top with some pajama pants. No one, not even Alexia or Grell, came to talk to me because I would just say that I didn't want to talk to them. I heard knocking coming from my door through my headphones and saw Sebastian walk in and close the door after him.
"You should leave, Michaelis. I am not in the mood to deal with you now," I said, using 'Michaelis' instead of his first name.
"I know that, since everyone is wondering why you are coming down to talk with them," He answered.
"Well, tell them until a certain somebody leaves the house to do something, then I am not coming down."
"You know, you don't have to act like this, Alexis. It just shows me just how much of an immature brat you really are."
"Brat? Brat?! Oh, so I'm the brat! I don't think so, because I've never shown anything to anyone to make them think I'm a brat!" I yelled, throwing something hard at Sebastian's head. He stood there and let the object fall to the floor with a low thump and glared at me.
"Right now, you really are acting like an-"
"Don't you dare say it."
"An immature brat."
"That's it! I gonna kill you!" I yelled, running up to Sebastian. I quickly punched him in the face and kicked where it would hurt the most, before clawing like a mad cat. Alois, Grell, and July came in to stop me while I just kept on going.
"Let me go! I want to show him how a real immature brat acts!" I yelled, kicking and screaming at Alois and Grell. July helped Sebastian up to his feet before she between a beaten Sebastian and a very angry, almost near crying her eyes out, ready to pounce on Sebastian and claw his eyes out me.
"Stop now! Both of you! I don't understand why a brother and a sister should be fighting like this anyways!" July yelled at both of us. She told Grell and Alois to let me go, and I just fell to my knees, crying.
"Well, maybe someone should teach Michaelis here not to call his younger sister an immature brat," I cried. Everyone looked at me and then back at Sebastian."But don't worry, I am so not wanting to see him in my life again. And if I do, just be ready to call the hospital or something." I stood and grabbed my Assassin's Creed jacket, my black Converse, and my car keys. Sebastian stood up and followed me out the room, before I yelled at him.
"Why don't you find someone else's life to mess with! I can't even believe I actually admired someone like you! You are the world's greatest idiot ever, Sebastian Michaelis!" I ran down the stairs and out the door, Sebastian standing in the door way. I looked back at him and saw his eyes watering through my red eyes.
"Good day, Michaelis."
~And I lost who I am and I can't understand
Why my heart is so broken
Rejecting your love
Without love gone wrong
Lifeless words carry on
And I know all I know
Is that the ends beginning
Who I am
From the start
Take me home to my heart
Let me know and I will run
I will not be silent
All this time spent in vain
Wasted years, wasted gain
All is lost, hope remains
And this war's not over
There's a light, there's a sun
Take you home shattered ones
To the place we belong
And his love will conquer
And I lost who I am and I can't understand
Why my heart is so broken
Rejecting your love
Without love gone wrong
Lifeless words carry on
And I know all I know
Is that the ends beginning
Who I am
From the start
Take me home to my heart
Let me know and I will run
I will not be silent
All this time spent in vain
Wasted years, wasted gain
All is lost, hope remains
And this war's not over
There's a light, there's a sun
Take you home shattered ones
To the place we belong
And his love will conquer...all
(And his love will conquer all x2)
Yesterday I die
Tomorrow's bleeding
Fall into your sun light~
