Persephone is black all over but has white paws on each foot and a white tipped tail. Her eyes are the usual green like most cats have.
Catherine's POV
I was in the library when I heard a loud commotion from down the hall. I sighed and closed my book before leaving the library.
"What the bloody hell is all the noise?" I asked Bard, Mey-Rin, Finney, and Tanaka.
"Stupid Finney used a statue to try and kill a rat!" Bard snapped pointing at the gardener.
Well no wonder I heard such loud noise.
"The rat problem will eventually stop in the mean time one of you please clean up the remains of the statue okay?"
"Yes Ma'am!" the cook, the gardener, and the maid replied in unison. Tanaka simply chuckled and I left the staff to their work.
"What on earth was that noise?" Sebastian demanded approaching me.
"I took care of it" I promised my mate.
I am getting tired of this rat problem myself a feminine voice spoke.
A black tuxedo cat sat on the floor next to my feet.
"You know better than to be in the mansion Persephone" I reprimanded the demon cat. Sebastian picked up Persephone and held her in one arm while stroking her back with a free hand. My mate loved cats for some reason and Persephone was no exception.
"I'll go and return her outside I believe the master is finished with his meeting"
I gave Sebastian a peck on the cheek before heading in the direction of the Sitting Room.
"Ah there you are sister I was wandering when you would join us" Ciel greeted as I closed the door behind me.
"I simply waited until your meeting was over with" I explained as I took a seat next to my sibling.
"You look well Lady Catherine" my aunt Angelina added. "The meeting was dull so you didn't miss anything"
Lau sat in the love seat closest to the window with his companion Ran-Mao in his lap.
"Now I'm glad I missed it" I joked and my remark made Angelina chuckle and Ciel smirked.
Sebastian arrived with tea for the others and coffee for myself. By the closed doors eying my mate with adoration was Grell. I could tolerate Mey-Rin's crush on Sebastian but Grell got on my nerves. Aunt Angelina told her butler to learn a thing or two from Sebastian.
You know I only have eyes for you Litter Dhampir Sebastian reassured me through our mate bond.
Good because I don't share what belongs to me I told the demon firmly.
Sebastian gave me my coffee and I shot him an appreciative look. He then froze as Aunt Angelina rubbed his behind affectionately and my eyes went wide. My mate was very uncomfortable with this unwanted attention. Sensing my annoyance Ciel cleared his throat and our aunt apologized and left Sebastian alone.
"So do you believe the drug trafficker your looking for was one of your guests today?" Lao asked standing up.
"Perhaps but it would be smart to remain alert" Ciel answered.
"You should leave the extermination of the rats to Lao" Aunt Angelina suggested.
Lao was about to pat Ciel on the shoulder when Aunt Angelina wrapped her arms around my brother and pulled him away from Lao.
"Watch it! Keel your filthy paws off of my darling nephew! The same goes for my niece!"
Ciel was eventually released and he shot me a look silently pleading for me to go with him. I was already finished with my coffee so I set my cup down and stood up. Outside of the sitting room Finney, Mey-Rin, and Bard were freaking out about it the rats.
Sebastian spoken to my brother explaining about the dessert for this afternoon before Ciel and I left him.
"Thank god we left when they didn't notice" I muttered as Ciel shut the doors behind him. We escaped to his study. Suddenly an arm wrapped itself around my middle and a hand covered my mouth while Ciel was knocked unconscious. Soon a hard punch was delivered to my stomach and soon I fell out cold as well.
Sebastian's POV
I knocked on Master Ciel's study door saying his snack and afternoon tea were ready. When I heard no response I opened the door.
"Master?"
My eyes widened when I saw the study was in disarray.
"This is terrible now the refreshments will be wasted"
I then realized Catherine's scent lingered in the room and whoever took my master took my mate as well. Now I was angry and I would personally make sure the kidnapper would pay.
Catherine's POV
Lao's suspicions had be confirmed because the drug dealer we had been looking for had been one of Ciel's guests from before. His name was Azzurro Vanek and the bastard was part of the Italian Mafia.
"I must say your sister is quite a beauty"
Azzurro eyed me lustfully.
Ciel and I were both bound with belts and were separated from one another.
"Touch her and you'll regret it" my little brother warned.
After a brief talk Ciel taunted Azzurro which pissed him off. When a gun was pulled on my little brother that did it for me.
"Oi! What the hell?!" one of Azzuro's men exclaimed as I broke free from my bonds.
I kicked the gun out of Azzurro's grasp but the blonde bastard grabbed my hair and proceeded to slap me across the face.
"Stupid girl" the Italian spat after tossing me to the floor next to Ciel. I didn't watch as Ciel was also slapped like I had been.
Sebastian's POV
While looking for Catherine and Master Ciel did Mey-Rin come running towards me with a letter. Sensing danger I tossed the pie before grabbing Mey-Rin away form the window. It shattered a second later and a vase shattered thanks to a bullet from a sniper rifle. The pie landed back on the pie dish unharmed.
Mey-Rin lay on my chest and after asking her for the letter did she hand it over. The letter was your typical ransom note and it was dreadfully written. Alarmed Madame Red along with Lao and his companion arrived wondering what was going on. I reassured her everything was under control before I ordered Mey-Rin, Finney, and Bard to clean up the mess since I had business to attend to.
I gave Bard the pie before excusing myself.
Do you require assistance Sebastian?
Persephone sat before me in her smaller form.
"Not today" I reassured the cat.
I then proceeded to as Catherine would say run like hell after our uninvited guests who were making a get away via a car. I used my demonic speed to chase after them and I always enjoyed the thrill of a chase.
Catherine's POV
Azzurro was on the phone talking to his men and the drug lord looked panicked. I smirked as I heard yelling knowing Sebastian was already on the move. I went over to Ciel and wiped the blood away from his lips. I heard Sebastian's voice asking for me and Ciel. Ciel suddenly barked which confused me but it didn't matter because it was certain Sebastian was on his way.
"Looks like your little game of fetch is over" Ciel taunted Azzurro. Angry the drug dealer slammed the phone down and proceeded to approach my brother. However I placed myself in front of Ciel and it wasn't long until I was being given hard kicks all over my body which hurt like hell.
The blows weren't powerful enough to break a bone but it still was painful.
Sebastian's POV
"Thank you for the use of your field telephone" I told the two snipers. I sat on the hood of their car which now was halfway off of a cliff. "Now where can I find your employer?"
The two blokes gave me directions and after thanking them again I jumped off of their car. I lazily looked at my pocket watch seeing what time it was. The car behind me had already fallen off the of the cliff. And it exploded upon impact below.
"Oh dear look at how late it's gotten if I don't move quickly we shall never have dinner ready on time"
Catherine's POV
Now scared Azzurro sent his men in full force outside all over the manor. A whole bunch of them were outside and within the mansion. However soon screams and gunfire rang outside and I smirked because Sebastian was already here.
Sebastian's POV
The guards up front didn't provide much of a challenge for me and I was now inside of the kidnapper's home. No sooner had I entered the dining hall I used my tray to block the bullets before I threw the tray at my assailants. The tray took care of them while I ran across the table dodging more bullets and seized plates and threw the fine china at more gunmen knocking them over from the balcony.
I was annoyed now because if I didn't move the lives of my master and my beloved would become jeopardized. I then brought out the knives and forks I brought with me and leapt into the air. Then I threw them at my assailants. Each throw brought the gunmen down and it wasn't long until the whole dining had lifeless bodies on the floor.
Catherine's POV
Azzurro had his gun pointed at the door shaking in fear. The doors opened and my beloved entered through them. He bowed politely to Azzurro and greeted.
"I've come to retrieve my master and his sister"
Sebastian then saw I had been beaten and through the mate bond he was angry. However he kept a cool demeanor and his face never changed.
"Is this some kind of joke? I was expecting a giant instead standing before me is some fool in a tailcoat, who are you anyway? You can't just be a butler"
"No sir you see I am one hell of a butler"
That remark got me to smirk. Suddenly Azzurro grabbed Ciel's hair and pointed the gun at him.
"You bastard" I hissed.
Since I hurt like hell all over I couldn't move for the time being. Azzuro asked if Sebastian had what he wanted and just as Sebastian pulled out a key did a gunshot go off. More rounds we fired at Sebastian and Ciel gasped as Sebastian fell to the floor apparently lifeless. However these fools would soon pay the price. My mate wasn't dead not be a long shot.
Azzurro undid Ciel's eyepatch and as it fell to the floor I knew playtime was over.
"Alright I had enough messing around" Ciel spoke. "How much longer are you going to play dead?"
"Not long" Sebastian answered and Azzurro was dumbfounded. My mate got back to his feet and the drug dealers and his men were now scared. Serves the damn blokes right. Sebastian smirked holding the bullets in his blood stained white glove. The demon then threw the bullets at the men and they died right there on the floor.
"Oh dear what an awful thing to do to a perfect tailcoat" Sebastian complained.
"You could have avoided that idiot" Ciel scolded the demon.
"Master they seem to have not taken very good care of you or Catherine"
"I hurt like hell" I mumbled sitting up ignoring the pain surging through my body. My mate then approached Azzurro and the idiot told him to stay back. Sebastian stopped after Azzurro threatened to shoot Ciel.
"Can we move this along? His breath smells awful" Ciel said
"But if I come any closer he might kill you"
"Well then are you saying you want to break the contract?"
"Of course not nothing has changed I remain your faithful servant my lord"
Azzurro demanded what the hell was going on and Sebastian continued.
"Master you know what you have to do now just say the words"
Ciel closed his left eye before both of them opened.
"This is an order save me and my sister now!"
Time seemed to stand still as a gun shot rang out. But Ciel was unharmed and Sebastian stood behind Azzurro with his own bullet in his hand. My mate then returned the bullet into Azzuro's pocket and the drug dealer's arm twisted and Azzurro fell clutching his arm in pain.
I stood up and grabbed the drug dealer by his jacket collar and dragged him away from Ciel. Sebastian tended to freeing Ciel while my at attention was on Azzurro. He yelped when I sank my fangs into his neck. Drinking his blood would speed up my healing. I fed until I had enough and I tossed Azzurro to the floor.
"Your blood is disgusting pitiful human" I spat.
"Are you feeling better?" Sebastian asked coming over to me.
"I will be" I reassured the demon. I then went to Ciel and I brought my little brother into me via a hug. Azzurro began to bribe Sebastian but my mate politely refused the drug lord's offers.
"I am simply one hell of a butler" my demonic mate stated and his eyes glowed. Black feathers began to surround Sebastian and I smirked.
"You hurt someone precious to me and now you shall pay the price" Sebastian added with a fanged smirk. The room began to darken and Azurro was very afraid of Sebastian now. "As long as my master holds the contract I am his loyal servant"
The demon then used his teeth to remove the glove from his right hand. On the front of his hand was the same purple design Ciel had in his right eye. Sebastian held his hand out so Azzurro saw the contract design on his hand.
"Unfortunately for you this game is over" Ciel sneered.
After Azzuro was dealt with Sebastian walked over to me and picked me up into his arms. Ciel put his eyepatch back on.
"Since your hurt milady I will carry you back to the manor" Sebastian informed.
"He's right sister walking for you will be painful" Ciel added.
"Alright" I agreed knowing I wouldn't win an argument with my mate and brother.
Later.
Sebastian ended up taking me to our bedroom so I could rest. I still hurt like hell but a warm bath helped soothe the pain and afterwards I got into my night attire.
"How are you feeling?" Sebastian asked.
He must have finished his nightly rounds before bed.
"The bath helped but I'm still sore" I confessed.
"Perhaps I could assist my lady?" the demon offered.
"I'm not drinking your blood if that's what your inquiring" I told my mate firmly.
"Oh no my love I had something better in store" he suggested and he told me to sit down on the bed edge.
I obeyed and Sebastian bent down before me and pulled up the skirt of my nightgown up to my inner thighs. His lips then kissed my right thigh first and I shivered. He lips proceeded downwards and he took his time making sure his kisses distracted me. When he focused his attention onto my left ankle he began kissing his way upwards and then his tongue took over.
"Bloody hell" I said with a shudder.
"It would seem that I took away some of your pain" the demon purred
Sebastian then pulled the skirt of my night gown back to its original spot. My mate then gave me a passionate kiss which included a hot tongue dance for dominance. Eventually we pulled apart so I could catch a breath. The demon stood up and sat down beside me. He pulled the strap of my nightgown down my arm so he had access to his mark.
He kissed his mark before placing his forehead against mine.
"I was worried about you" he admitted.
"I know you were my love but I can take down my enemies in a fight if necessary"
"And you're a strong fighter my Little Dhampir" Sebastian said affectionately. "And you always will be"
