Catherine's POV
No sooner had Alois ordered for Claude to get Ciel did the real fight begin. Sebastian let me go and I pulled out my swords from underneath my dress. Sadie picked up my brother into her arms and got behind me. The triplets then began to move around with various objects and at one point my leg was caught in one of them.
But before I was caught in another I sent the demon triplets away from me using my psychic abilities. The three blokes landed on their backs and one of them moaned in pain.
"What the?!" Alois protested.
Sadie took off with Ciel while I smirked at Alois.
"Oops looks like I forgot to mention I can move things with my mind" I taunted.
Claude eyes were widened in surprise and Sebastian no doubt was smirking behind me. Then using my mind once more I sent both butler and master away from one another. But while in the air Claude managed to catch Alois in his arms and the two of them landed on the ground with a thud.
"Let's go love" I told my husband.
"Agreed" Sebastian replied and the two of us shot past Claude and Alois.
We managed to find Ciel safe with Sadie and I stopped to catch my breath. Suddenly I heard ominous music and it made Sadie and I wince. Ciel heard the music too and he now had his ears covered.
What the hell is that?! I asked Sebastian through our mate bond.
It's been a century since I last heard the instrument but it's an armonica it would seem Lord Trancy is using it to make the guests feel pain and to become possessed
Then what the hell are we hanging around here for? We need to get back to the mansion!
There's no need for that Little Dhampir, Agni is there
After waiting for a few more moments the four of us headed back to the mansion. Once inside it was a mess. The guests who were under possession were repeatedly being knocked unconscious by those unaffected by the armonica. Sadie kept Ciel close to her while Sebastian began playing music via a glass harp method.
The possessed guests heard Sebastian's song and they stopped attacking those unaffected by the armonica. Both songs overlapped one another and the armoncia's song was being tuned out.
"Damn your husband is one hell of a performer" Sadie praised.
"Nah he's one hell of a butler" I corrected her.
My husband had to speed up his playing so he could keep in sync with the armonica player below. It was another demon who was the culprit. Eventually the armonica broke and the demon playing fell to the floor with a thud in shock. While Sebastian had been playing Sadie managed to sneak Ciel away and he was back in his costume. I made my way to the first floor and eventually Sebastian finished his song and the crowd clapped. Then my husband leapt off of the second floor and he bent down to talk to the female demon who had tried to possess the guests.
"Your husband is a show off sister" Ciel complained.
"Agreed but he's one hell of a musician" I joked.
I jumped when Sebastian appeared next to me and he kissed my cheek.
"Thank you my love I'm glad you enjoy my music"
"By the way what sort of song was that?" Sadie questioned my beloved.
"It was originally called "The Singing Voice of the Angels" and was very popular, but as you saw it was bewitching and caused confusion amongst a person's heart so it was banned being labeled as an "Instrument of the Devil"
Sadie suddenly growled and Ciel took notice of this.
"What is it my love?" my brother asked his fiancée.
I held a squeal behind my hand because seeing him interact with Sadie was too damn cute.
The dragoness was glaring at Alois who finally decided to show up. The little brat apologized for being late and told the guests he hoped they were enjoying the ball and liked the performance. Trancy then approached us and Sadie snarled baring her fangs and got in front of Ciel protectively.
"That was a very good performance Sebastian" Alois praised my husband.
"I cannot accept such praise I am simply one hell of a butler" Sebastian answered.
"And your wife is a skilled fighter" Alois added looking to me.
I shot Alois a glare which seemed to amuse him.
"My lord" Sadie growled and Alois looked to her. "I need to speak with your butler alone"
"Yes of course my lady" Alois agreed and he looked to Claude.
"Right this way my lady I'm sure outside will suffice"
Sadie hissed before following after the demon butler.
Alois went to socialize with the other guests while Ciel looked to Sebastian.
"Sebastian go and aide Sadie in anyway you can, she's angry and I don't want to see her harmed"
Sebastian bowed before excusing himself. As he passed me he gave me another kiss on the cheek before heading outside.
Sadie's POV
"You have a lot of nerve demon" I snarled at Claude. The two of us wee standing next to a lake. "Are you a fool to mess with a dragon's mate?"
"It was my master's instructions my lady" Claude replied calmly. "Your mate's soul was to be taken from Sebastian Michaelis"
"Are you blind?! Sebastian has recently fed he no longer needs Ciel's soul!" I roared. "And I won't allow you to take my mate's soul either, not without a fight, the mere fact you wish to even touch him makes me sick, Ciel Phantomhive is my mate and I will protect him with my life so I hope your ready to die demon"
I then took my dragon form and opened my fanged mouth to silence the Trancy butler once and for all. But my prey dodged my bite and he was quick to appear behind me. The something sharp was pushed into my scales under my left wing. I saw a jagged blade and I shrieked in pain.
Then out of nowhere Sebastian appeared and sent Claude a glare before turning to me.
"My apologies my lady this will hurt"
Catherine's husband then pulled out the sword and I roared out again in pain. My wound would heal but it would hurt like hell for awhile.
Sebastian's POV
Lady Sadie reverted to her human form and I picked her up into my arms. Sadie was unconscious in my grasp.
"I would recommend you'd forget about claiming my young master's soul, because as you saw here tonight his mate won't allow it" I told Claude simply. "Nor will my wife"
"It took me awhile to figure out she was a Dhampir" Claude went on. "Such hybrids are rare these days"
"If you dare touch my wife or harm my unborn child I'll end you myself" I threatened.
I then left the Trancy butler alone so I could get Lady Sadie back to the manor.
Catherine's POV
"Sister?"
I looked to Ciel who had his hand offered out to me. Smirking I placed my hand in his and my brother led me out onto the dance floor. I followed Ciel's lead and he seemed to improve in his dancing skills. Nearby Richard guided Elizabeth away from Alois sending the little brat a glare.
The dance concluded and Sebastian cleared his throat.
"My lord may I have my wife back now?"
Ciel nodded and let my husband take my hand.
Ciel's POV
"Your alright Sadie?" I asked approaching my fiancée.
"I'll be fine but that damn butler stabbed me" she hissed.
Wanting to get some fresh air I took Sadie's hand into mine and I led her outside. We kept walking until we came to a small field.
"There is something I would like to ask of you Sadie" I confessed turning to her.
"What is it Little Mate?"
I chuckled before replying.
"May I see you as a dragon?"
Sadie smirked before backing away from me and she began her transformation. Soon she was in her true form before me. I was able to get a closer look at her scale coloring thanks to the moonlight. Her entire body was the same color as the diamond on my ring. Her neck and tails frills were sky blue and so were her wing membranes. Her eyes were emerald green.
"Beautiful" I said placing a hand onto her snout.
She purred at my touch and I continued petting her before placing my forehead against her snout. Despite not having Sebastian with me now I felt completely safe with this fierce dragoness at my side.
Next Day.
Back at Phantomhive Manor.
Catherine's POV
"Slow down my love" Sebastian told me as I drank my daily glass of blood.
"Tell that to our child" I muttered finishing my glass. I licked the blood away from my lips and Sebastian rolled his eyes. Suddenly Mey-Rin yelled out and my husband sighed.
"Perfect what now?" he asked to himself.
My mate took off his tailcoat and he gave it to me to hold. I followed him into the laundry room where there were soap suds everywhere.
"Oh Sebastian there you are!" Mey-Rin exclaimed popping out of the soap suds. She shook the suds off while Sebastian asked.
"What happened here?"
"I used thirty cups of detergent like the instructions says to and it's a disaster! It don't make sense"
The flustered maid held up the box of instructions out to my beloved to prove her point.
"Read the instructions again carefully" Sebastian advised and Mey-Rin did so. "You'll find its three cups not thirty"
"Aw hell I need to get the lens on my frames improved!"
"I'll suggest that to Ciel so don't fret Mey-Rin" I promised her.
"Honesty being far sighted isn't enough to excuse such foolishness, no carelessness is more correct" Sebastian then peeled his shirt sleeves up to his elbows. "Now step aside"
Being the perfect butler he was Sebastian mopped up the soap suds with ease before starting the laundry. I rolled my eyes and left the room while Mey-Rin blushed. I looked to the tailcoat and decided to hide it as punishment since Sebastian suggested I slowed down on drinking blood. After hiding the tailcoat I went to play chess with Ciel.
I told my brother about my little prank and he swore to keep it a secret.
"You shouldn't keep your guard down little brother" I teased Ciel when I moved my chess piece and won the game.
"Your are getting better" Ciel praised. He then looked to my stomach. "Any complications today with the babe?"
"Nah just having to drink more blood than usual"
"I need to send someone to get more blood for you soon" Ciel pointed out. The door to the study opened and Sebastian entered with refreshments. Throughout the day Sebastian wondered where his tailcoat was and he even asked me but I simply lied suggesting some places where it could be. I knew I was going to get it later.
By the time dinner was over I decided to retire to my bedroom due to the pregnancy. Knowing Sebastian's was doing his nightly rounds I took a bath and pulled on a clean night gown afterwards. When I got out of the tub I saw my breasts were starting to get bigger. When I exited the bathroom it didn't surprise me to find my husband waiting.
"Little Dhampir you've been naughty" he stated. "My tailcoat is in this room"
"So you figured it out but I'm still not telling you where it is" I replied. "You shouldn't have made a comment on how fast I drink my blood"
Suddenly my husband appeared behind me. Aw hell looks like I was going to get it now.
"Your forgetting something my love" Sebastian purred into my ear. He was playing the seduction card and damn it I was already under his spell. One gloved hand went around my waist while the other intertwined with my left. He raised my left arm and teasingly planted kisses down it. Then he did the same with my hand and each of my fingers. "I am simply one hell of a seducer"
"I'm still not telling you where your tailcoat is" I said.
"Oh I know my love and I intend to find out where it is"
"Then raise the stakes on the seduction demon" I suggested.
Sebastian chuckled before turning me around so I could face him.
"Are you challenging me Little Dhampir?"
"Perhaps" I answered smirking.
"Then I accept"
My husband then took off his gloves using his teeth before lifting my body upwards. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms went around his neck as he claimed my lips with his hungrily. His tongue seized mine in dominance as I was laid onto the bed. When Sebastian pulled away from my lips I wasn't happy and he smirked.
"Now my love where is it?" the demon asked.
"It's in this room your smart Sebastian figure it out" was my response.
"Now that won't do" my husband replied. In one swift movement he pulled off my nightgown leaving me completely naked underneath him.
"Really Sebastian?" I demanded.
"I'll give the gown back once I know where my tailcoat is darling"
"As I said demon figure it out" I muttered using a sheet to cover my front.
Finally taking my advice Sebastian looked around the room before his eyes saw the dresser. Arching an eyebrow my husband got to his feet and began to look through the drawers.
"Oh my Mrs. Michaelis you certainly chose a good hiding spot" Sebastian joked pulling the tailcoat out from my underwear drawer. "But now I don't think I need it anymore"
The demon tossed his tailcoat to the side and he soon returned to hovering over me. He guided my hands to his vest and I didn't hesitate to take it off of him followed by his shirt. Sebastian was now barefoot and most likely took his shoes off before I came out of the bathroom. I greedily kissed each of my husband's abs as though I had been food deprived.
Sebastian claimed a nipple into his mouth and he massaged my other breast. I arched my back feeling my womanhood becoming soaked.
"Sebastian please don't toy around and make love to me"
"As you wish Little Dhampir"
And soon we were making love and it felt bloody wonderful.
