Chapter 9 – Zombie Apocalypse
Hey! I managed to slip in some time to write! Ok made time to write….Fine! put my homework aside to write!
I procrastinate a lot and I have left a heap of maths homework to the side to do another day and frankly I feel like I probably won't do it until the due date! Silly me! anyway I really wanted to write, I reached a juicy bit in Black Butler and I just couldn't leave it like this. So here it is!
Also I might not have lots of time anymore until after exams which are like 7 weeks away but I want to prepare(jokes) for them soon. Also there is lots of work to do before the exam and I have a feeling I will either just wing it or spend lots of time, so it might be a while until I update again.
Alice: Thank God, I wanted a break!
Me: What are you talking about? You're a made up character, you don't get breaks or work! I get work and don't even get breaks!
Alice: You had the holidays!
Me: not anymore! I have school now!
Sebastian: Ladies, ladies…Alice~ leave the poor girl alone, she has put time and effort into this, besides….she has left her studies to write!
Me: thank you Sebastian!
Sebastian: No problems, but I deserve something in return don't i?
Me: hm….No.
~Alice's P.O.V. ~
"Undertaker?!"
Sebastian and Grell suddenly got very serious, even more than they were before.
"you've hidden yourself well. since you've kept your eyes hidden, I didn't eve r notice…"
Grell also looked quite gobsmacked and so did Ronald, honestly I was more shocked than anyone there.
"Yes, no doubt…that yellowish green glimmer….a Shinigami!"
Undertaker chuckled gently as he smirked at us, I could feel myself get a bit hot. Honestly because I kept staring at his face, I realised how good looking he was. He was very sexy just like Sebastian, I guess the supernatural were always good looking.
"How nostalgic…hehehe…it's been a while since someone has called me that!"
Ryan jumped out of no where, very shocked and totally angry. I guess I would be like that if I found out that I was being used for someone else's ambitions.
"Now think about it, at everyone's life, there is an end. But…what if that 'end' continued?"
"No way…you edited the cinematic records?!"
"hehehe, why don't you take a look for yourself?"
So Grell jumped up and cut one of the zombies to examine its cinematic records. All was well until it reached the end where there were lots of photos of the Undertaker with a Hitler styled moustache, a top hat and him doing weird poses.
"IS this what you do in your spare time?!"
"I guess so~"
"well, I can tamper with their records but I can't give them an actual soul. I experimented a lot but there was nothing I could do to give these bodies a soul. That's why I call them Bizarre Dolls, they're not alive but not dead…"
Ciel scoffed with disgust and well, so did I.
"How perverse can you be?"
"Hee, hee…That you can't understand this beauty means that you are too young, Earl~"
He went up to one of the zombies which happened to be the same one at the presentation which ate her own parents and held her in his arms as if they were lovers. She gurgled and growled as she craved the blood and souls of the living.
"This beautifully stitched up skin, as white as wax, just like they were when they were alive. Their mouths cannot clamour noisily nor tell lies. Aren't they far more beautiful now than they were when they were alive?"
Ciel stepped back with disgust. I felt bile and vomit crawl up my throat and tried to swallow it back down.
"They do not feel pain nor remorse nor fear. They eat the living, craving souls. What do you think? Aren't they the best animal weapons ever to be created?"
Grell went ballistic as he yelled something about hurting a maiden's beautiful face and breaking rules before he and Ronald jumped up to attack Undertaker.
Undertaker was an extremely skilled fighter, I could tell. He would block every attack from Grell smoothly. Ronald attempted to attack him from the back when Sebastian fly kicked him in the face and attempted to, in one swift movement, smash Undertaker as well but Undertaker simply dodged and moved out the way.
"What the hell SEBAS-CHAN?!"
"I have a job as a butler and a servant to bring him into custody, so I don't want outsiders interfering!"
Grell, for once, snarled at Sebastian with anger instead of lust,
"This is a problem between Shinigami!"
I looked at Undertaker who was standing there, totally chill and it was like Sebastian and Grell were fighting over him like two guys over one girl.
"Hehehehe, it's almost like a rabbit hunt~ I wonder….which rabbit is being hunted?~"
Then Grell, Ronald and Sebastian jumped and began to attack Undertaker and each other.
Sebastian went to throw some of his dining knives into Undertaker's head only to be stopped by Ronald and his lawn mower.
"Oops, I slipped!"
Sebastian twitched with annoyance as they all went on a full on assault.
Undertaker was taking them all on and I suddenly felt really worried for Sebastian. A zombie came at me as I cut clean through its head as many more approached.
"Shit! Ciel please stay close to me!"
"Yeah!"
I dashed forward with Ciel clinging onto my stomach and flying off with me, in 3 swift movements, I cut down the zombies which were close to us and searched for a place where Ciel was safe so I could take care of them without having to worry about Ciel getting hurt or in the way.
Fortunately, he helped a lot by shooting them in the head so soon we were done and payed attention to the fight between the supernatural.
Ronald and Grell jumped together to get him when Undertaker swang something, something very big and cut Grell and Ronald, knocking them to the ground.
In his hands was a giant scythe, an actual scythe and not a pruner, lawn mower or chainsaw. Strange, but I suddenly realised that Grim Reapers must like gardening because their weapons are all gardening tools?!
The scythe was a huge skeleton with a massive blade coming out from the back of the skull and it certainly looked very impressive.
He swang his scythe at Sebastian who dodged but it hit the pillar supporting the floor that Ciel and I were standing on and we began to fall. I thrust my katana into the ground and grabbed Ciel. Both of us hanging, my arm began to hurt really bad supporting my whole weight and Ciel's so I threw him up and flipped up as well, pulling the sword out of the floor.
Sebastian finally got within range to not get hit by the scythe when Undertaker jumped up and landed behind me, holding me the same way as he did the zombie.
"I wonder what would happen if our dear little maid went for a fall? Wouldn't it end in tragedy? Isn't that right? Little Maid~"
Sebastian jumped up immediately to protect me but he fell for Undertaker's trap as he pushed me off the balcony and I began to fall.
Sebastian turned to grab me, only to have Undertaker's scythe go straight through his body, blood going everywhere. I screamed as I got flash backs of the vision I had before of this happening.
I clutched my head as I screamed, pain filling my head. White light shone brightly around me as before my eyes and for everyone to see. I felt something heavy on my back as I lost consciousness yet still knew what was happening in my surroundings.
Images swirled around the room and a shock wave blasted the whole hall, sending debris and zombies flying back, Ciel gripped onto the bars. Sebastian flew into the railing and smashed into the wall as Undertaker calmly stood there smirking at me.
"My, my~ isn't this a surprise?! The little maid is more special than I thought!"
Suddenly I got my consciousness back and the light dimmed, then vanished. The weight on my back disappeared too and I began to fall again. This time Sebastian reached me and landed onto the ground with me in his arms.
"Sebastian!"
I hugged him, I was trembling with fright and crying because I didn't know I could do that, and well Sebastian was about to die.
"Butler, you seem to only make the little maid and the little earl sad, maybe I should just kill you now!"
Undertaker jumped in front of us, ready to kill Sebastian and probably me as well.
Suddenly the whole boat shook and tilted. It all happened in one fast movement that I didn't have time to grab onto anything, nor use the sword so I began to slip down to my death.
Undertaker grabbed me, and pressed me close to him, smirking as my face was millimetres away from his.
"I can't have you dying now Little Maid~ So I'll save you this time,"
And he kissed me on the cheek as he threw me over to Sebastian who caught me and glared at Undertaker. Water began to fill the room up, dousing everyone.
"Well this was pretty interesting. Time to say good bye!"
But Grell and Sebastian wasn't going to let him, they both jumped at great speeds towards Undertaker who dodged Sebastian's kick to the head and blocked Grell's chainsaw with his scythe.
A golden locket fell from Undertaker's sleeve and I caught it. At first he had a shocked and worried face but then when our eyes met he smirked.
"Little Maid~ I entrust you with that, please take good care of it! It's my treasure!"
The smile on his face was very calming. It was like another side of Undertaker but I liked it. Then Undertaker smashed through the boat with his scythe and escaped. It broke in two so then it wasn't tilting anymore but was still sinking rapidly.
Sebastian instructed me to hold on tight to his neck and let him piggy back me while he was holding Ciel. I clung on tight, readying myself for the worst. He jumped up into the air, very high up into the air and came crashing into the boat.
Sebastian threw a buoy onto Ciel and threw him into the water and did the same with me.
Ciel began to sink as he fell through the middle of the buoy and I took mine off to swim down and get him.
We reached the surface, Ciel gasping for air as Sebastian appeared with a small row boat and helped us up.
We saw in the distance, thousands of people desperately trying to swim and get to safety, pushing each other and trying to survive.
We managed to get away before they killed us too.
I heard a splosh sound and turned to see a zombie holding onto Sebastian's leg.
"SEBASTIAN!"
It bit down onto his leg as he smashed it's head off with the other foot. Suddenly we turned to see heads rising above the surface of the water as they swam towards us. Sebastian jumped into the boat to protect us as they clambered onto the boat. I sliced their heads off as Sebastian used the oars to do the same.
"Sebastian, Alice…this is an order! EXTERMINATE THEM!"
Together with our weapons ready we both jumped in to destroy every last one,
"YES MY LORD!"
It was like an endless flood. I was beginning to get tired as my arms trembled with pain. Finally after a very tiring and endless spree of being soaked in blood, the job was done and I collapsed, unable to move my body,
"Sorry, but I can't move anymore."
Sebastian fell, huffing and puffing and pressing against the wound in his chest from Undertaker's scythe.
"I'm sorry Sebastian, I should have…been more alert!"
"I'm sorry Young Master, for you to see me in this state, I have failed as a butler."
"Hmf, I cannot have the Phantomhive Butler say this to me. when we get home get good rest. You and Alice did well today."
Sebastian smiled and I managed a small grin as Sebastian coolly replied to Ciel's once in a lifetime compliment,
"Please stop, for you to say such a thing, I don't wish to see a storm after this…"
A couple days later, Sebastian was back to full health but I still had the giant bite mark on my arm was still healing and very sore muscles.
"it seems that everything is back to normal, except for Alice's condition which would take another day or two to heal."
"Normal? Now that you mention it Sebastian, what exactly is normal to you?!"
Ciel glared at the bunny ears resting on Sebastian's head.
"Since today is Easter, Lady Elizabeth ordered us to wear these,"
I smiled as I slowly made my way to Ciel who was having breakfast.
After we walked down to the second floor where everyone was waiting, and by everyone I meant everyone.
There was Lizzy, Soma, Agni, Bard, Mey-Rin, Finny, Miss Nina( our clothes maker/designer!) and strangely Edward.
When we arrived and was greeted by everyone, Lizzy announced that we were having an Easter egg hunt where everyone was in pairs and on a spoon, held an egg. If that egg was to fall and break, then that team was out. And whoever gets the special egg made by Lizzy wins. Miss Nina made the guys change into costumes.
Suddenly the two Charles who were the Queen's Butlers came and declared that they would join too. Although as much as I would have liked to join, my muscles were still in pain.
So everyone raced off as Lizzy and I sat out in the garden to wait for the winners.
"How are your wounds, Alice?"
"Hm? Oh, they are still healing. I guess unlike Sebastian, I can't heal that fast…"
"I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me. You would be able to participate today….And you wouldn't be hurt either…"
"Lizzy. I'm fine, it is my job to protect you, I am and will always be just a maid."
"NO! you are my friend and I like you! I love everybody here and you've been through so much, I-I-"
"Lizzy…Thank you for considering me as a friend. Also, it looks like the game is completed…"
We turn to see everyone approaching, in Ciel's hands was the special egg. Lizzy pounced on Ciel, giving him a big hug.
We began to feast on the awesome food created by Sebastian, Agni and Bard and it was the happiest day of my life, free food and surrounded by the people I love.
But days like this ended quickly and led to something horrible. Strangely, the visions I had were now either gone or just fragments in my mind, and I wasn't having headaches anymore. But deep down in my heart, I felt as if something wasn't right, and my heart never lies.
