The moment Beast stopped running, Lila pounced, knocking Beast on her stomach. A smile spread on Lila's face when she heard the surprised, choked gasp that Beast made when she hit the polished wooden floors of the Phantomhive manor.
Her struggle was so feeble it made Lila's smile even wider, she took a large chunk of Beast's hair in her hair and pulled not hard enough to rip it out, but hard enough to cause her some pain. She stopped moving immediately. The only sounds that filled the manor were multiple gun shots coming from the kitchen in the basement and Beast's heavy breathing.
"Y... you're with Phantomhive?" She asked shakingly. It gave Lila a jolt a pleasure to see how Beast was struggling, she knew that this wouldn't have been happening if she didn't sleep with Sebastian, but at the same time, Lila was glad that she did, because it gave her a chance to practice her demon powers on someone who wasn't Sebastian.
Lila didn't answer her question, she merely dug her knee into the small of Beast's back, causing her to whimper before she released the pressure and stood up. Lila half-expected her to get up and run as soon as she was free, but Beast only raised herself to her hands and knees and panted.
The corner of Lila's pale pink lips twitched. "This is a position you're used to, isn't it, Beast?" She asked slowly, teasingly, loving the way Beast didn't answer. "When you invited Sebastian back into your tent, how did everything go down?"
"S-Sebastian?"
"Ahh that's right. You opened your legs for him, and yet, you don't even know his real name." She knew Beast was blushing without even looking at her face. "Bl-Black?"
"That's right." Lila said lightly. "His name is Sebastian Michaelis. He's a butler for Ciel Phantomhive, or, you may know him as Smile." Beast let out a startled yelp when Lila pressed the dagger to the back of her neck, but Lila paid her no attention as she continued. "My name is not Butterfly, nor is it Black Widow. I am Lila Lily Durless. I am Ciel's care-taker. I am Sebastian's soulmate. And you...?"
Lila giggled before she moved the dagger and took hold of Beast's hair and pulled her into a sitting position. Lila's normally green eyes glowed pink. "You are nothing."
The machine gun slowly came to a stop, Dagger was on the ground covered in blood and his clothing full of holes. Now that the gunfire had ceased, Finny, Bard and Meirin could hear the pathetic crying and screaming from a short distance away. None of them left the kitchen, they just stayed as still as they possibly could, not daring to make a sound.
The door was kicked open and Beast tumbled inside. She was covered in bruises and blood, her breathing was wheezy and she was shaking from head to toe. Lila skipped into the room after her looking perfectly fine, except for the blood that covered her hands and clothes, none of it was hers.
"Ahh, aren't you going to play with me, Beast?" She asked mockingly disappointed. "I was just starting to have fun. Here, you can even have your whip," Lila tossed the whip and waited until Beats picked it up and cradled it to her chest. "Now, let's make things interesting." Lila threw the dagger behind her.
Finny and Meirin were told by Bard not to interfer with Lila and Beast's battle, so they all stood off to the side and watched. Lila had not armed herself with anything, and to make matters worse for herself, she gave Beast a weapon that she was very good with.
It took Beast almost five minutes to get back to her feet, but she managed and immediately swung her whip in Lila's direction, Lila dodged almost lazily and the whip came in contact with a bag of flour instead.
Lila grinned at the sight of the flour in the air, and by the look on Bard's face, she knew he understood too. She gave him a little nod and while he explained what was going to happen to Finny and Meirin, Lila continued to dance with Beast, easily dodging all of her attacks until she stood right behind her, and with one flick of her wrist, sent Beast flying into a shelf of cast-iron cookwear.
Lila walked over to Beast's crumpled form and bent down on both knees, turning Beast over so she could see her facial expression when she explained what was happening. "Did you know that flour is good and flammable...?"
Finny made a huge hole in the wall, allowing them all the exit safely. Lila was the last to leave, but before she climbed through the hole, she turned and looked back at Beast; her curly black hair was barely visable in all the flour dust. "With all the flour dust in the air, in such a small place, it's most-likely going to cause an explosion." She hopped out of the hole and ignored the matchbox that Meirin handed her.
"You never should have gotten involved with my family." She concentrated all her inner energy on the palm of her right hand, which began to smoke and sizzle until a small bubble of fire rested there. She waited until Finny, Meirin and Bard were a safe distance away before she blew a bit of cool air on her hand and watched as the fire floated into the kitchen, giving Lila time to get away before the bubble burst and the kitchen exploded.
"Sebastian's not going to be happy about this..." Bard said, looking at the distruction that was caused to the manor, it was amazing that Elizabeth was able to sleep through all the ruckus. "So... what should we do now?" Finny asked. He, Meirin and Bard all looked Lila's way.
"Now that all the circus freaks are taken care of, the first priorited would be to put out the fire before it burned the rest of the manor." She responded. But the fire was so huge and the kitchen was always full of flour because Ciel was particularly fond of sweets and pastries. She didn't want to risk the other servants getting closer to the kitchen only to have another explosion go off...
Upon hearing her answer, the servant immeidately went to collect water and shovels to put some dirt on the fire. Lila didn't help them, instead, she went into the manor to find Tanaka and make sure Elizabeth was unharmed. She stopped short of seeing a body in front of a door, with Tanaka standing over it.
When she got closer, she recognized the person as Peter, the trapeze artist in the circus. "How is Elizabeth?" Lila asked softly. Tanaka looked at her, then at the door and finally back to her. "She woke up once, but then went back to bed."
"So she doesn't know what happened her?"
"No. I convinced her that she was dreaming."
Lila nodded in understanding. "Nice job, Mister Tanaka." Lila suddenly felt very tired. She blamed it on using her demon powers and decided that Finny, Bard, Meirin and Tanaka could handle the fire, right now, all she wanted to do was sleep.
"The kitchen is on fire, would you please help out the others?" Tanaka nodded and he was off in an instant. Lila opened the door to Elizabeth's room, just to make sure she really was sleeping (which she was) before she went to her own room, and fell asleep without even taking off her shoes.
