Scarlett's POV
''Frange,'' I whispered and the door shattered as if it was made of glass. I stepped into the room knowing that there is no turning back.
The room was cold, as I breathed, white smoke came out of my mouth. I turned back to the door I shattered and whispered "reconcilio," making the door repair itself. As I walked along the corridor, my hand touching every shelf, I felt like there was no soul other than me in the entire world.
I turned right at the 10th bookshelf and took out a book which read "nobilis daemonium." The book was heavy and covered in a thick layer of dust. I opened the book and started reading.
"Introduction," I read to myself.
"King Baal was the first king of hell but was overthrown by the Seven Princes of hell. Lucifer took control of the east continent, the biggest continent. Satan took control of west continent , the most powerful one. Beelzebub is in charged of an island in the North continent which is considered the land where all food is good. Mammon took control of the north continent which is the richest continent. Asmodeus took control of south continent, where beautiful sirens and dark elves resides. Leviathan is in charge of the Circle Of Darkness where he tortures those who has fallen to the underworld due to their evil deeds. Belphegor, is in residing in an Island in the west where all the dangerous and powerful weapons are created. He is also in charge of most powerful ring which is the Seal Of Solomon.''
I turned over to 'Chapter 1' Which the title was 'Creatures created by the new rulers of hell.' As I began to read , I could hear footsteps approaching. I quickly put back the book and tried hearing for the footsteps.
The footsteps gradually grew louder and louder but stopped as if it stopped just before reaching the place I was.
"Come to me , Papilio" I whispered as softly as possible. Two magnificent rapiers appeared in both of my hands. Both of the hilt were silver in colour and the on the blade of the rapier has a pastel blue butterfly inscribed on it.
The footsteps which had stopped slowly began approaching once more. When I knew that I will face the person soon, I got into my 'ready to fight' stance. I saw the shoe of the person and as I began to charge, a hand pulled back and covered my mouth. This mysterious person's other hand grabbed around my waist and brought me to a chamber in the library which is lit with candles. His movements were fast, maybe even faster than my own.
When we landed on the chamber's cold and green floor, I stomped on his feet and he let me go.
"Feisty little person aren't you?'' the person said. I pointed my sword at his face and did not say anything.
"Calm down, we are not going to hurt you,'' A voice from behind spoke. I turned around and saw Raven. Sebastian's Servant .
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"Shouldn't we be asking the question?" The mysterious person asked me.
"Hey don't fight now. Introduce yourself , Moon,'' Raven said
"…. Fine then. My name is Moon. I am Pri-" Moon said but Raven shook his head at Moon, making him not finishing his sentence.
"Pri?'' I asked .
"He means that he is Master Princeton's butler,'' Raven answered. Moon did not look me in the face instead he looked at the floor.
"Why are you here?'' Moon asked me , his gaze was still on the floor.
"None of your business ,'' I uttered.
"You vampires belonged in the middle continent. Why are you here in the Island of Knowledge which is, shall I remind you, is forbidden to creatures such as yourself?'' Moon answered sharply.
"Now , now. Don't start arguing. Do not forget that our dear Masters is currently serving under her,'' Raven said as he patted Moon on his shoulder.
"She does not deserve to be served by the… I mean Master Princeton," Moon said , his gaze fixed on me. His eyes felt like it pierced through my soul.
"Then shall test her?" Raven said softly, almost like it was a whisper.
"Test whether I am good enough to be served by your precious Masters?" I asked in a serious tone.
Both of them did not say anything but smile. Raven snapped his fingers and both of them disappeared.
"If you managed to destroy this monster, we may consider not handing you over where you will locked up with no way to escape,'' the voiced echoed through the walls.
"If I use any more of the vampiric, I may…'' I said
"Do you accept this challenge?" Moon's voice echoed.
".. Yes…" I said. This my only way out. I looked around , there was no door or a window. 'My only hope,' I said in my heart.
"Excellent,'' Raven's voice echoed .
A monster that was thrice as big appeared before me. The monster had wings and 5 horns on his head. It's roar almost blew me away.
"Good luck," Raven's and Moon's voice said in sync.
I clenched my rapiers tightly as I charged at the monster. I slashed it many times but it seems to have no use. After my 5th attempt, I was getting weary.
"Looks like you will die before defeating this monster,'' Moon's voice echoed.
"Really ? Watch me," I said with a grin.
"papilio evanescent,'' I said and my rapiers disappeared.
"Silly , what are you doing?" Raven's voice echoed loudly.
"Just shut it and watch," I said as I walked towards the monster.
I held out my hand and smiled.
"I did not want to use this, but, looks like I have no choice," I said.
The monster roared and used it's tail to whack me but luckily I dodged in time.
"Disappear," I said and enormous black wings grew on my back. I held the monster's horn and mouthed the word,''die.''
The monster roared louder and collapsed to the ground. It used all it's strength and tried slashing me with this claw which I dodged by leaping on to it's back.
I placed my hand on the top of it's head and , mouthed the word "die" once more. The monster roared in pain as the flesh began to rot and it's flesh was melting. I jumped down to the ground and watched the monster slowly rot away.
Raven and Moon appeared once more before me .
"Congratulations, you passed ,'' Raven said while clapping his hands.
"Can I go now? Or do I have to kill you too?" I asked .
"I shall send you back to London," Raven said grabbing my arm.
"I was looking for something, you know,''I said as I glared in to his eyes.
"It's much too dangerous to look for whatever it is you are looking for. There is too many demons in the library now. You will have to go back home,'' Moon said.
Before I could say anything, Raven snapped his fingers and I was back in the forest. I sighed heavily and considered going back to the library, however, this was the first time I used up a lot of my Vampiric powers in one night. The sun rose as I walked home.
It took me much longer to reach the manor than expected. Moreover, I had to keep using my Vampire Form because if I changed back, I know that I will faint.
As I pushed open the front door of the manor, Cece attacked me with a hug.
"Where have you been, Lady Scarlett?" Sebastian asked.
"None of your business," I said. I looked at Cece, she was worried about me. It was written all over her face.
I told her that I would be going to the room to sleep and she nodded her head. I walked slowly towards the stairs.
Sebastian carried me in a bridal style and walked quickly towards my room.
"Let me go!" I said as I tried to break free. He did not say anything until we were at the corridor of my bedroom.
"You are much too I dislike this, you are a Phantomhive and I am the Phantomhives' Butler ,'' He said .
He put me down on my bed and looked at me.
"Why don't you change back?" Sebastian said and I ignored his questions.
"Don't tell me that you can't change back. Or don't you know how to?" Sebastian said with a snicker.
"Of course I know how to!" I said angrily.
"Then change back. I won't go until you do?" Sebastian said sharply.
"Why?" I asked glaring at me.
"Cause it amuses me how you struggle to remain in your Vampire form,'' He said with a chuckle.
"Sadistic butler,'' I muttered.
I gripped the covers of the bed and let out a heavy sigh.
I muttered the spell to turn me back , and my body felt painful as if I was bound by chains and stabbed with a million swords. I covered my mouth so that I will not scream in pain. I closed my eyes and tried to endure the pain.
It seemed like eternity before the pain subsided and when it did, I lost all strength to remain conscious . The last thing I remembered was Sebastian saying ,"What an interesting human,"
