El opened her mouth as her glass coffin sunk, more water appearing.
She had a worried look on her face.
The Lunatic watched as El suffered. She frowned, "As much as I like
seeing people suffer, I don't like it when you do."
El kept a straight face on.
Suddenly, the shackles around Luna's wrists loosened before falling,
causing the small, devilish girl to fall on her feet.
"Oh?" The Lunatic rose an eyebrow, eying her red wrists, "She wants me to play?
That's fine with me, as long as I get to move." She stretched before making her way to the exit.
El let a tear drop from her eye.
Luna stopped and turned around, a small smile on her face,
"I'll be back. Then maybe you can have your fun, too."
And with that, she left for the mean time being.
-The Devil & Strength-
"W-what!" Ciel gasped as he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder. It was as if someone had just took a dagger and impaled his shoulder with it. The pain was so tremendous, it almost made him fall over.
"My lord!" Sebastian quickly responded, catching his young master by holding onto his shoulder. He retaliated his right hand almost immediately when he felt a burning sensation through his pale, pristine glove. Sebastian stared into his master's eyes with a serious look for a moment. "It seems Luna has gotten into trouble."
Before Ciel could speak, the said girl piped up.
"What trouble?" The brunette which had suddenly appeared from the door way smiled, the strong scent of blood trailing her as she walked closer to them in her new, 'Alice in Wonderland' styled dress.
The demons turned their heads simultaneously.
Ciel narrowed his eyes, "You reek of blood."
"I just kind of got injured. Really, it's nothing though~" She chirped.
Both demons took notice that she was unusually happy. Like the first time they'd seen her. Freakishly, unusually happy.
Sebastian looked at her dress, "Where did you get that?"
"I passed by a few artisans and they gave me a dress for free because they noticed how my previous dress was stained." She stated in a matter-of-fact tone, rolling back and forth from heel to toe, her hands hidden behind her back.
"Where's Andre?" Ciel suspiciously asked, noticing that it was not only her own blood he smelled on her, but it was mixed with someone else. He narrowed his eyes at her joy.
Luna stopped rolling back and forth, an eerie smile on her face as a dark look loomed onto her face, "Where's Erika?"
"..She's in her room... getting a few things for something later." Ciel slowly responded, unsure.
"And Andre... he's having fun!" She giggled, "I made sure he's having fun. He's near the Thames right now. He told me he needed to get a few things ready, so I left him and re-joined you two!" Luna then shifted her eyes to the left, "Or could I say... three?"
Erika popped up from behind the wooden cabinet, a grin on her face, "Hi! I was jus-!"
"How long were you standing there for?" Luna asked her, her brown side bangs casting a shadow on her eyes as she looked down.
Erika stopped for a moment. "I was jus-..." She was going to say once more, only to be cut off by the older girl.
"How long were you standing there for?"
A pregnant silence came over them as Luna's deep, green eyes stared into Erika's doe brown ones.
Erika couldn't help but shiver as she felt some sort of malicious intent from the half-German girl. "Six seconds? I don't know..." She mumbled hesitantly.
"Don't lie."
Erika froze.
Luna smiled sweetly at Erika, walking close to her, "It's a bad thing when you, you know?"
Erika felt as if she were paralyzed; tied down by her words. She opened her mouth.
"Luna," Ciel stiffly began, his eyes narrowed at the said girl who had turned around in order to face him, "don't."
Luna scowled, gritting her teeth, "I can't even tease, huh?" She glared at Ciel with the same malicious intent she had used on Erika before backing off, a smile back onto her face, "Anyway," she chirped, "what's all that stuff for?" She gestured to Erika's handful of many things.
Erika couldn't stop staring at Luna, "U-Um, it's for the... Church today."
"Is that so..?" Luna smiled with disdain.
"Y-Yeah.."
"E-Erika," Ciel cleared his throat, capturing Erika's attention.
She batted her eyes at him immediately, "Yes?" she feigned innocence once more.
Luna gritted her teeth at the girl, feeling jealousy bubble in her stomach. In an over-protective way, she stepped a wee bit closer to Ciel, who did not take notice to this at all.
"Have you heard anything about the murderer in the village lately?" Ciel queried her, making sure that she was the target.
"Oh, that!" Erika beamed up at him, "Yeah! They found him this morning near the forest when he attempted to kill another person. He was caught this morning, so yeah. The town's all safe again..."
Ciel blinked before nodding, "I see. It seems it is time for us to take our leave, Sebastian, Luna." He twisted around and walked out without another word. Sebastian, who remained cautious about this topic, looked around the house in shambles. There was nothing suspicious about it, it seemed normal along with everything else in the house. The child could've been telling the truth, and in order to find out, he'd need to ask a few people. Luna turned around at Erika before smiling, "Andre is outside gathering a few things, by the way! Bye!" She waved in a friendly fashion, which Erika returned happily.
The wooden door creaked shut as they left.
Erika smiled.
Her plan was in action.
11:45
"Are we leaving?" Luna looked up at Sebastian expectantly, who nodded in response.
"But before we do, I'll check with a few people." Sebastian then walked off to a group of men and women who were working diligently, carrying buckets of what seemed to be fresh water to their homes. "Excuse me, sires and ladies," Sebastian began, checking to see if he got everyone's attention. He seemed to achieve all of it. Mostly from the ladies, though. "Is it true that the murderer has been found?"
A thoughtful young lady smiled, "I believe so! We're having a meeting at the Church at noon as a celebration!" She beamed.
"Yeah! It'll be fun!" A bearded man grinned at Sebastian, who smiled back.
"I see. Off I go then, thank you for your time." Sebastian swiveled around, his tailcoat dancing for a moment as the wind passed. The fog had left eventually as noon slowly arrived.
"Fine," Ciel sighed, closing his eyes, "off we go then."
"Alright..." Luna looked behind her once more before rushing on forwards.
11:59
Sebastian wiped off dirt from the carriage, wiping vigorously as he thought about Evarisse and how he had slowly began to miss her presence. She would always yap away to him while he worked, and she would help him out too. Now that he thought about it, why wasn't she here yet? Had he misjudged her? She was always the type to run back to those she liked after a long, harsh journey.
He let out a sigh as he looked at the two horses, one brown and one white. "Come here, you two." He urged them.
The horses obediently followed him and allowed him to tie them onto the carriage. He silently thanked himself for knowing how to make fences and for being a demon. He managed to keep everything hidden inside the forest, including the horses. He had trapped them in fences, of course, so that they wouldn't escape. He smiled as he patted the brown one's neck. It was finally time to leave, huh?
"Sebastian! Come on!" Luna stuck her tongue out at him. She was back to normal now, the eerie aura which once surrounded her gone.
"Yes, yes," Sebastian smiled at her.
Luna rolled her eyes.
Ciel couldn't help but smirk. "We're done here, I guess." He then stopped, looking at Luna.
Luna stared back, a questioning look in her eyes, "Hm?"
"What really-!" He was cur off by the sound of the Church bells tolling. Once the church toll stopped, he stopped to think about what he was about to say. He couldn't remember.
"Yes?" Luna rose an eyebrow.
"Oh, never mind..." He mumbled under his breath. He walked off to the carriage. Luna followed him shortly.
Erika frowned, looking at the church and back to where her house was located, "He sure is late... Stupid Andre. Well, at least he set everything up in the morning... it was my job to ring the bell anyway," she scowled before smiling, "Whatever! I can do this myself." The girl quickly barred the Church doors and took her lit torch. She smiled at the church before throwing her torch at the wooden church, "Good bye, everyone! This is all what you deserve for not believing in Witches. I, the 'Witch' of madness will burn you all! Ahahaha!"
12:10
Luna watched outside the carriage out of boredom. She then realized that after the toll had stopped, the noises of villagers outside silenced into nothing. Luna smiled, about to look away until a scary, bleak color caught her eye. Grey. Mist? She peered at it, narrowing her eyes. Not mist, it was thicker than that.
Puffs of grey floated into the air, polluting the sky of it's blue color. All color from her face drained when she realized that it was fresh smoke feeding off fire.
"Stop!" She screamed as loud as she could, hurting her own ears as she watched the clouds of smoke with disbelief. Haven't they found the killer..!?
Immediately, though the carriage was still in the process of halting into a smooth, stop, she opened the carriage door and leaped out. The moment her feet landed onto the floor, she let out a short, hurt yelp from her legs and lower stomach. As her body almost gave out, Ciel managed to leap out and catch her in time.
The girl slowly turned her head to face him, "T-Thanks..." She said as he helped her stand straight. She held her wound for a moment and looked at her hand. Her eyes widened. The damage was much more harsh than she thought, and slowly, all the adrenaline from her body was seeping away, pain coming in and replacing it. She hissed. She pretended that she wasn't hurt and hurried on to where the location of the fire was, her feet heavy as her boots pounded against the dirty road, miniature clouds of debris following her every stomp.
Ciel, who had glared over at Sebastian for coming out so late, smelled something entirely familiar. Two things, actually. A fire and what seemed to be blood. He quickly turned his head to the trail of footsteps Luna had left them, realizing that there were small specks of blood on each step. He gritted his teeth in annoyance. That girl was wounded.
With that, both males began to run.
"Ahahaha! Burn, die, all of you! None of you deserved to live! None of you! Ahaha!" The small, blonde haired girl cackled as she rose her arms up at the fire, watching as the flames slowly reached at the sky.
Lilith watched along with Leren from a thick tree branch far away, a frown on her face. She was starting to like the village of Letum, though people insulted her quite a lot. She sighed, looking at Leren. This wasn't her job to fix. For now, she would just watch and let the movie play along. About to leave, she twisted her body, only to find a familiar brunette running towards the fire from the corner of her eyes. She paused and turned around once more, a smirk on her face as she felt intrigued. "Of course, a heroine comes." She snickered.
Luna watched with eyes of shock and rage as she panted and gasped for air. The air around her was no longer fresh. It smelled impure and disgusting. Her eyes fluttered from the burning, vivacious church to the female who laughed without stop. Rage. The familiar feeling of rage engulfed her once more.
The world around the two girls began to shake, the stone walls slowly deteriorating as chunks of rocks fell. The girl who was about to re-chain herself frowned as the water from the small pond began to flood, turning into a deep, dark blue color. She sighed, "She wants me back out to play? And I was just about to return too..." She mumbled before twisting around, the chains on the wall falling loose as she let her hands drop it.
The girl in the water sniffled, her eyes slowly opening.
"How could you!?" Luna cried, her deep green eyes darker than before. She was about to launch herself at the girl until she realized that someone was pounding at the door. As swiftly as she could, she let her legs lead her to the heavy, wooden doors which were slowly starting to burn as well. She tried to remove the barricade, only to retract her hands away from it as a large piece of the front part of the church to slam itself down.
"Help! Help, please!"
The feeling of nostalgia hit her like an arrow, her eyes widening.
The same, desperate cries from before when she killed the people she was forced to. The same, desperate tone. Those same words.
Suddenly, the front part of the church came crashing down. Luna let out a sharp gasp before throwing her body away from the front, not wanting to get burnt. Debris flew everywhere, crumbs of stone and dust raining in all directions. The cries of the people could no longer be heard as they were crushed by the burning church.
Luna's mind went blank as she felt that she had lost all hope and faith.
Erika paused her laughter once she heard the church crash down, but then continued once the cries were no longer available to their ears. To her, the flame before her was something magnificent, a work of God, even, though she had caused this herself. She let her mind run wild as she remembered all those days when the villagers thought her and Andre's mother was a Witch. She remembered the time she and her brother watched their mother burn on stakes, the so-called Witch claiming that she had no children in order to keep her two children safe and sound. "They all deserved it! Death was their punishment! I am the Witch! The Witch who had 'ruled' this town of Dead!" She screamed at the dark sky.
Luna came back to her senses. "You aren't a Witch," she mumbled as she slowly stood her ground, regaining her balance.
Lilith smiled as she watched two male demons catching up to the scene. "Invertio," she whispered, blowing a kiss their way. A cage made of feathers surrounded the two demons.
"W-What!?" Ciel then began to search for the source of magic, eying everywhere and the scene of Luna and Erika before him.
Sebastian growled as he narrowed his eyes to the side, finally knowing who the person who cast this barrier around him and his master was. "Lilith!"
Lilith only smirked and waved, "Leren, stand on their cage so that if one of them manages to break free, you could suspend them for a while."
Leren cawed before soaring to the cage, it's wings seemingly larger than before. He stood at the tip of the cage, his eyes glowing an icy, blue color.
Lilith was about to say something only to be cut off by the small, blonde haired girl with a frail body.
"I am a Witch!" Erika grinned manically.
Luna, stood her ground, her hands curled into balls. "Fine," she spat, "then you're a Witch... but even if you are," she looked up, her deep, haunting green eyes glowing in a way Ciel and Sebastian had never seen them before, "it doesn't mean you can't be punished."
Erika grinned, "You want to bet on that?" She cockily replied, taking the dagger she had oh-so skillfully hid underneath her dress, attached to dirty bandages. She held it out at the girl before launching herself at her.
Luna made no attempt to dodge her attacks, for she knew that if she were to have another wound, the stronger she would become. That's how she fought, using pain to her advantage.
To transform pain into strength. That's what she used.
El opened her eyes wide, for the first time in years feeling awake. She continued to floar in the pool of water as it lessened and drained before looking out the exit and entrance. She frowned. Things were going out of control. She stood up once the water drained, her white dress somehow still dry though her hair was wet. She then made her way to the exit, her legs weak. She felt that her body was going to gave way soon. Using the walls, she made her way to where the Lunatic was at, a trail of wet water following her. "I'll have my fun..." she mumbled.
Luna felt a constant pounding at her head, like a hammer beating at a rock. It resounded through her ears and caused her to bite her tongue.
The blade hit her directly on her left shoulder blade. The cut was deep and harsh, though Luna didn't seem to mind a bit of it at all. She indeed, did flinch, but she didn't seem to be totally affected. She only smirked, "That won't hurt me. But if I get infected from this, I'll make sure to curse you in hell once I get there."
Erika snarled, pulling the dagger away before launching at her once more.
This time around, Luna dodged the dagger, away from the skillful cut. Suddenly, the pounding at her head became stronger to the point where it made her lose her mind. "That's enough!" She screamed in an almost demonic tone, clutching at her head before letting go. Her eyes were wild as she stared at Erika with a disgusted frown on her face, "You're going to die today."
The brown eyed girl smirked, "Come," she provoked her. It didn't work.
Luna smirked, "Things like that don't work on me, darling. Try harder."
With that, Erika raced to the girl, bringing up her dagger and cutting a bit of Luna's dress.
The brown haired girl seemed to think for a moment before laughing, "Now that I think about it, I'm fighting a ten year old! Hah! I'll go easy on you, but I promise that your death won't be swift. I'll make sure to avenge the people in that church," She stated firmly before catching the punch thrown at her, followed by a kick. To her surprise, the dagger cut her fore arm. She smiled, "This is the end of you."
Erika hissed before gasping as her dagger was forcefully ripped out of her hand with ease.
Luna watched the girl who had wide eyes. She smiled and spun the dagger around in her hand, "Simple." She commented before tossing the dagger at her, purposely cutting the side of her neck.
The time it took for Erika to grasp her cut, Luna was behind her, the dagger back in her hands. She lifted the dagger, "Repent!"
"Stop!" A soft voice screamed in her ears.
Luna's eyes widened as she dropped the blade in shock. What was happening. She turned her head and looked around, only seeing the two demons and the crow which seemed to watch her every move. The was of a females. It wasn't Erika's.
"Don't do anymore damage!"
The voice was familiar. She'd known it for a long time now, and hearing it again was like meeting a good friend you've missed for a long time again. "What do you want from me!?" She yelled back. She had thought that the voices in her head were gone.
"You know you're not supposed to be doing this! You know that! Be strong, El..!"
"I-I'm not..." She clutched at her head once more, "I'm not El! I'm Luna!"
"Well, I'm El!" The voice in her head haughtily replied, "And if I remember correctly, you're not supposed to be a bad girl!"
Then, after that, it felt like someone was biting her cheek, "Ow!" She yelped before noticing Erika was running at her.
"No!" Elice pouted, biting at the Lunatic's cheek.
"S-Stop! The girl is coming at us!" Luna cried.
"Well then let me punish her!" Elice shot back, pulling Luna away from the scene and taking things into her own hands.
"Bad girl!" The brunette swooped Erika off her feet, "Bad!" She scolded in a childish way once more before throwing her body and kicking her ribs.
Erika coughed and sputtered, trying to regain the air that escaped her lungs.
The green eyed girl smiled, "Now, for your punishment..." Her eyes glinted, "I wouldn't want to tickle you, but I guess death does serve best."
"B-But!" Luna's eye twitched before El turned to look at her, her face dark.
"The hell do you want, huh!?" El cringed her face at her.
Luna shrieked and backed away. Elice was always the scarier one.
"No more troublemakers! You've killed many! Shame on you!" She picked the ten year old up by her wrists before spinning in circles, making herself and Erika go dizzy before letting go once her body was aimed at the flaming church. "Off you go, little nasty!"
Erika flew to the church, only hitting the walls over the church, causing it to break down and collapse onto her.
El patted her hands and dress off, "The job's done, mate! Now let's leave this girl to her own accord."
The brunette suddenly then fell into a deep sleep, exhausted from taking all the pain and energy wasted.
"You're coming with me." El dragged Luna by her shirt to their resting place.
"N-No! B-But-!"
"No 'buts'! How dare you make me cry in my sleep! I'm glad I've gained more power over you, too!" El pouted as she dragged the soul to her chains, binding her once more. She smiled in satisfaction as the girl tried to wriggle herself out. She let out a relaxed sigh, "Don't go killing someone else again! That's bad!"
Luna gave up, falling limp.
Lilith watched the scene with a deadpanned look. Of course, she had two souls, and both souls had different, contrasting qualities... but for the other soul to awaken and enter now out of all times when the climax was coming... kind of ruined the whole thing. She sighed, clutching her head with one hand, the other she used to snap her fingers. The ward she had put around Ciel and Sebastian dispersed, Leren flying back to her. That's when she realized her job here was starting. She cursed. She'd have to clean up the whole town before any of the reapers came, but that was highly impossible. They always came after a large amount of disturbance.
She watched the demons flock around Luna like birds before frowning. She smelled the air.
Rain was coming.
She let out an annoyed sound before landing onto the ground, summoning her staff. Seeing as the elder demon glared at her, she scowled, "I'm only here to clean up the remains of the town. I think I'll have to erase this town from London itself, too, that way they won't think a mass murder has occurred or something." She mumbled before finally chanting her spell, "Memoria aversa pars."
A purple light was cast around the village, surrounding the whole area.
Lilith frowned. This would cost her a lot of her Magic, almost all of it in fact. A whole town being erased all at once? This wasn't her thing. "Evanesco."
Before she could even waste her magic, two certain people had to appear.
"Not so fast."
"Sebastiaaan~!"
"Oh, bloody hell." Lilith cursed.
Aaaand that is Elice for you. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand that was the stupidest way I could end this chapter but IDONTCARE.
