Mafdet and the Raven

"Butler hold her down," Undertaker said and quickly grabbed what he needed. Sebastian came up by my head and placed his hands on my upper arms and put light pressure on them holding me in place. I looked into his eyes and took a deep breath... What will Mefdet do when she is forced to interact with our fav demon butler? Rated M for future chapters. sebastian x oc x undertaker

Chapter 17

April seventeenth, Today is the day that the Campania takes off. Sebastian and Undertaker are going to have it out on that boat. I'm currently standing outside the ship, ensuring that all Undertakers ' clients get on board the vessel safely. In truth, they are his little dolls. What happens here is essential to helping Ciel in the long run, so I don't mind all the lives that will be lost. Plus, while they die, Undertaker will be collecting more souls, and of course, some of those souls will be food for my little demon.

Rubbing my abdomen as I watch them load the coffins, I can only surmise that after this, Sebastian will have more than a few words for me. I don't want to be on this boat while all hell brakes lose on it, but at the same time, I can't help but want to be there to meet more reapers. It's not like I'll be hurt at all. Between my magick and two powerful beings having my safety as their priority, it will undoubtedly be one hell of a show.

Finishing up with Undertakers Guestlist at the loading dock for the ship, I waved my hand, casting a quick 'see me not' spell so that I can walk onto the boat without notice from anyone on board. Making my way onto the ship, I headed toward where I could sense Undertaker. This reminded me of the Z fighters in the dragon ball anime, Nifty ability all the same.

While I've been having fun with Undertaker and the dolls, I do wish I could have seen Sebastian's face when he came out of that coffin after the whole murder incident at the manor. I had to hide from Ciel when he arrived and bought the stupid thing. Of course, I made sure to put a bit of my hair in the coffin so he would have to smell my scent. I knew from the Manga that Sebastian faked his death to solve the murders of two other people at the manor. The only reason it happened was that the Queen was testing Ciel after her butlers told her that Ciel burned down that Kevin guy's house with all the broken children in it during the whole case with the circus. Chuckling at my prank, I boarded the boat and made my way to Undertakers room. I made sure to avoid anyone that might know my face so that word wouldn't get back to Ciel and Sebastian. Making it to Undertakers' room, I didn't even knock when I entered.

"Ah, my dear, Have you decided to come to keep me company after all?" Undertaker had his traditional gitty tune to his voice as he stood next to his fake machine.

"I thought I could observe is all. I want to see if the Dolls reacted the same as they did in the book." Taking a seat at a desk in the corner of the room, I put out my hand to Undertaker.

"Now, if you don't mind." Giggling Undertaker walked up to me, handing me a bracelet made from his hair; it had various charms hanging from it made of silver in the shape of runes. It's meant to hide my presence from Sebastian and the other Grim Reapers.

"Little bird, do you think that you could help me with the missy that needs prepping for the show?"

"Of course, Adrian, dear." I stood back up and followed Undertaker to the adjoined room were his guest for the show was being held inside her coffin. As I approached the casket, my little demon started to squirm,

"Now now, calm down," I pat my abdomen. "Adrian, I don't think the baby likes your dolls much."

"Nonsense, It has to be the lack of a soul that has the little devil confused." Undertaker rubbed my stomach, trying to help me soothe the baby. His fussing wasn't exactly comfortable.

I conceived on Sebastian's first attempt with me, January eleventh, A fact that had made Sebastian's ego swell even more. I was currently twelve weeks and six days; it doesn't seem like it would be very far along, but it was about halfway through its growth for a demon child. Undertaker explained to me that demons are only pregnant for about six months instead of nine.

"I'm afraid my little demon will be confused as to who fathered him." I chuckled at Undertaker.

"I doubt that. But seeing as you have been hiding out with me, I'm sure the baby understands that I'm safe to be around."

"Is that so?" I tilted my head to the side in thought. I wasn't so sure about that, but he seemed confident. "Well, let's get on with it." Undertaker and I prepped his guest for the next few hours before sending me to take a nap. I grinned as I fell asleep knowing that in three days, this place would be a battleground.

oOo

I was sitting comfortably by the soon to be stage of Undertakers show when I heard Sebastian and Ciel shout out 'The Phoenix.' Covering my mouth with my gloved hand, I had tried to hold in a laugh. Undertaker, though wasn't so considerate of them. He laughed out loud at them with no mercy — honestly, Adrian, any way to poke fun at the poor boy.

The Last three days were spent getting ready for this little experiment of his. I helped as much as Undertaker would allow. He kept sending me off to nap or read. Telling me that rest would be best for the baby and I. Without Sebastian to help calm my demon side and the ever fussing baby inside me, Undertaker did his best to help. Demons don't have personalities the same way people do. They are creatures of instinct and sin, only fitting into an aesthetic that best allows them to interact with their contracts or pray. Younger demons tended to gorge themselves of one soul after the other with no rhyme or reason. Pretty close to the Catholic church's description of them, to be honest. Sebastian's real face was angelic, in my opinion, but it is just yet another way for him to eat. I'm only half-demon, so while I can lack emotion and fill a rule like one. I do still have a heart despite what many would think. Unfroutinatly with a demon child inside me, more and more of the demon side was coming forth. Undertaker always made sure to have souls around for me to consume; this craving is new to me and harder to control. I don't know how Sebastian allows himself to starve the way he does.

I couldn't handle if my child were nothing more than a soul hungry vessel until he matured. Undertaker told me that demons being born in this way are rare; usually, they are born similarly to reapers since it used to be human.

Coming out of my musing, remembering where I was, I rubbed my belly, calming my baby. It wouldn't take long for the show to start, so I moved from my seat to get a closer look at Undertaker's little doll as they brought out the coffin. Watching Ryan Stoker come out and pretend to be the brains behind everything was comical though that ridiculous pose was much worse. Why these stupid men felt the need to be so ... assinine... It is beyond my comprehension. The look on Sebastian and Ciel's face wasn't much better. Glancing down at my bracelet, I smiled to myself. It was working beautifully. The sound of the coffin lid being raised made me look back up towards the coffin.

"We will now show you, Ladies and Gentlemen. The fruits of our 'Complete salvation of mankind through medicine' research." Ryan Stoker said, putting on his little show.

Medicine? He's selling his bullshit. His so-called research is just all of Undertakers' experiments with the records of the dead. My face scrunched up at the smell of death coming off the corpse inside the coffin. It was making my nose twitch. They should have done this little show sooner, but then humans were always pushing their luck. Their little light show with the electrodes made the room aw.

"Come! Rise from death! Like the Phoenix!" Ryan Stoker yelled, just like the girl in the coffin raised from it. "Take a look! With our medicine, we can even overcome death!"

The parents of that disgusting thing in the box ran to her, weeping in a false joy. Ciel looked so shocked by it, but of course, my demon directly looked on in deep thought. The wheels were turning at the how- The scream that was let out by the mother of the dead thing ripped me from my thoughts and observations of my rather fine-looking demon. Of course, now all the little humans panic. Sighing at the sear stupidity of them, I watched as the so-called men ran like children, and of course, the actual child in the room was ordering his Butler to take on the doll, like the little man he thought he was.

"Guess its time for me to go." I quietly made my way out of the room with the rest of the 'men.' Moving just an inch to the side as the reckless Ronald Knox went flying by on his lawnmower shaped death scythe

"Have fun," I whispered in a sing-song kind of a tune; as I walked away from the show going on with the doll, I could just make out those left in the room going into there little 'discussion.' This is where the clock starts for this ship. I'm not sure exactly how much time passes between now and when the boat inescapably sinks. I'll have to just keep my eyes open for signs of the situation progressing.

"Perhaps I should head to that fake contraption and merely wait for... what was that idiot's name again?" Shrugging to myself, "Oh well, guess he's not too important if I, of all people, can't remember his name."

Heading that way, I remember that I need to cast the spell undertaker, and I created for the dolls. I stole the to die book for Undertaker so that we only messed with the ones already set to do so. But I didn't want the reapers to make the connection, neither does Undertaker. We made spells and other things that would allow me to transfer the altered cinematic records to a large spherical piece of obsidian currently being held on Undertakers person.

Glancing around to make sure I wouldn't get caught, I stepped off to the side and began to mutter my spell. This spell was lengthy and took the breath out of me along with my energy. I would need to rest after. It was never a great feeling to have exhaustion all but consume you. On top of that, my stamina draining left me feeling jittery, like too many coffees on an empty stomach. Once done, I made it the rest of the way to the room with the fake machine. Making my way inside, I get bombarded with Undertakers laughing.

"What on earth is so damn funny?" Undertaker turns, seeing me in the doorway, and makes his way to me right away. Promptly pulling me forward and shouting the door. "Undertaker?"

"Sit, sit, my little bird." Cocking a brow at him, I sit down and relax a bit before its time to be on the move again. That spell really did do a number on my energy. "Are you going to answer?"

Giggling Undertaker shows me the obsidian. "They are altering their own records so to speak recording what's happening around them."

"Oh?"

"Your spells are most helpful, plus I get a laugh at seeing the earl and his pet." Narrowing my eyes at him, I clear my throat.

"What have I told yo-" Undertaker puts his hand up, interrupting me.

"You're right, I'm sorry."

"Good"

"This spell truly is spectacular, dear."

"Hmm, you helped make it, so you get some of the credit too."

"You're skill is coming along beautifully. I can't wait to see you at full strength." Undertaker hands me a glowing glass bottle before I can respond. He must be able to tell that I want to eat.

"Thank You," Sighing, I leaned back in my chair, closing my eyes. So much is supposed to happen all in one night. Undertaker will reveal himself and have a massive all-out fight with two reapers and Sebastian. I know that Sebastian will be okay in the end, but that doesn't change the fact that he does get hurt. On top of that, he will need to fight almost all night against the dolls.

"Sad, isn't it?"

"Hmm, what's that?" Undertaker looks over at me, giving me his full attention.

"That she can't tell them apart." I started downing the contents of the bottle he gave me at this point. Waiting for him to respond to me.

"I suppose that humans perceive what they fancy to at times."

"The guilt that will consume her will be quite drastic."

"And yet, if she truly loved the boy and not just the idea of him, shouldn't she have known?"

"I don't know if it's that simple, they are children after all." I rubbed my bell again as my little demon seemed to be agitated. I can only surmise that he's upset at being so close to his sire yet not being paid attention to.

"And yet, in another life, you, Mafdet, Knew Mr. Butler no matter the face even at a young age."

"Does that really count, though? I'm not, nor have I ever been human." Undertaker made it a point to get Williams and my records somehow. It was eye-opening. I won't question how he did such a thing. It's probably best I don't know.

"I don't thi-" Undertaker was cut off by that blonde idiot that I keep forgetting the name of. He was panting, standing in the open doorway.

"Can I help you?" Undertaker chuckled.

I was unable to follow their conversation do to feeling Sebastian's energy flair. This caused me to tense and my little demon to wiggle around within me violently. I'm not sure how much this bracelet will keep working if this keeps up. Sebastian is in tone with me do to our little demon. If he notices his child's distress, contract be damned, everyone on this ship, Ciel included, would be ended. However, Sebastian's flair can only mean that he is in the holding area with the rest of the dolls. This is my cue to get moving off the ship. Taking my time, of course. I wanted to observe the dolls indeed. I came out of my thoughts in time to hear Undertaker making a deal with the blond. I internally sighed at the idiot man in front of me. They're talking about hauling the fake machine out, but I interrupted them.

"Undertaker, I'll be heading out now."

"Of course, little bird." Bowing my head to him and the blonde, I leave the room, making my way to the lifeboats. It didn't take long for the dolls to find me alone. They smelled awful. Rotting flesh was definitely a smell I will never get used to.

"Are you dolls truly going to snap at me?" I said in a low voice as they snapped their jaws at me. Getting closer. "Honestly, know that your actions towards me are annoying." I helped give them a new life, after all. How dare they try to bite the hand that made them.

I raised my hand into my inner pocket, grabbing a handful of sacred ash that I had made and through it at the dolls, pushing my energy into it so it would catch fire, burning the dolls. Okay, so do to my outfit, I may have decided to use fire as its fitting. I mean, come on, I'm basically in witch hunter robin cosplay minus the glasses. Now, if I could just look and do it, that would be cool. It doesn't matter how long I've been here and matured or whatever. I'll probably always be a fangirl at heart.

Turning away from the now pile of ash, that was now the dolls, making my way down the hall only to be bumped into by the Midfords as they turned the corner into the hallway. This is Lizzy's family. Granted, by bump into, I mean that her brother ran into me. I willingly let myself fall back on my butt because, let's face it, that's the expected outcome. In my condition, and should probably just pretend to be a 'normal' pregnant woman in front of them.

"Goodness, miss, are you alright!" Edward, Lizzy's brother, frantically gets up and offers me a hand.

"Yes, thank you." I try to sound meek, but the look on Lizzy's mother's face says she is not falling for it, as I allow myself to be helped up.

"First that damned butler and now you." Lizzy's mother says as she stares me down.

"Butler? Have you seen Sebastian?" The three of them star at me due to my question. Lizzy's father is the first to speak.

"We saw him a moment ago. He helped us take out those monsters."

"Oh, I see." I brush off my dress and rub my belly. My child was still moving around quite violently.

"Are you sure you're okay, miss? In your condition, falls can be serious." Edward looks at me, fussing over my state.

"Yes, I'm sure I'm fine."

"How do you know that butler?" The mother asked me sternly. Her eyes narrowed even more at me.

"I'm his wife, forgive me for not introducing myself. I'm Mrs. Cara Michaelis." Their all speechless as they look at me. I wonder how much this will backfire once I get back to the manor? Edward comes out of his shock first.

"Well, regardless, you should be somewhere safe in your condition."

"I'm heading to the lifeboats now."

"May-"

"I'll be fine on my own." I bow to them and turn around, leaving them there. Making my way to a hallway that would lead me to the main level. The boat violently swayed, making my footing unsteady.

"Guess we've hit the iceberg." Steadying myself, I rub my belly for what felt like the millionth time. All this child's moving around and kicking was painful. Plus, the lack of energy from the spell. Though not as annoying as the damn dolls. Maybe for the next ones, I could fashion a leash. However, that won't be for some time.

"What are you doing here?" Caught off guard, I whipped around summoning my scythe. Just to be startled by the sight of William.

"William..." I couldn't help it. I felt so horrible over what had happened. After all, he's a reaper because of me.

"You should leave the past alone; such a look isn't fitting for such a being." William fix's his glasses with his scythe. Causing a glare on them, hiding his eyes from me.

"I suppose you're right..." I put my scythe away, looking down at my feet. I heard William sigh, then felt his hand on my chin, raising my face to look at him, his voice was monotone and emotionless. I couldn't decide if that bothered me or not. In life, he was so loving and affectionate.

"Will-" William put his hand on my swollen belly, never removing his other from my face.

"Hurry and get off the boat." He tried to leave, but I couldn't help myself. I grabbed his arm.

"I'm sorry..." He didn't even look back at me, just pulled his arm free and walked away. As much as I want to go after him, I know that I cant. It took me a moment to notice that my little demon had calmed down quite a bit now.

"I don't have time for this," I told myself as I continued on my way to the lifeboats. My soft spot for William will probably get me in trouble.

It didn't take me long to get to my destination now that I was making more effort. Of course, the only thing anyone saw was a 'poor defenseless' pregnant woman alone. I guess that works out for me as the men quickly guided me to the boat.

I'm momentarily distracted when I hear the shouting of Charles. Looking around, I spot Sebastian handing off Lizzy to her family. The sight of him makes me smile. I can't help but frown despite myself because I want to help him, but I remind myself that I cant. Things must play out in there proper order. I can't risk changing anything too drastically just because I want to spare some of them. Turning away from Sebastian, I got on the boat. I'll need to keep my distance a bit longer.

OoO

When Daylight broke the horizon, the rescue boats picked us all up. I moved to the ship's back to keep out of Sebastian's site in the mass of people. I wanted to take a nap, but I felt Undertakers' presents. One of the odd things about my new bracelet is that I could now tell where Undertaker was when wearing it. Kind of like GPS plus tracker. I could since souls if I focused, of course. But I had to be familiar with the person to know who it was. Undertaker and Sebastians feel a bit different in the sense they didn't really have a soal like normal humans. It was an odd feeling for sure.

I found him quickly in a secluded area of the boat. He was leaning against a wall, seemingly in thought. He really is an attractive man.

"I'm putting those dolls on a leash, Undertaker." Undertaker Laughed as he stood up straight to face me.

"What's wrong little bird?" Undertaker pulled me into a hug. Not at all falling for my attempt at throwing him off the trail with how I was actually feeling right now.

"I'm still thinking about Lizzy and 'Ciel," I mumbled into his chest. I didn't want him to know about my encounter with William.

"You shouldn't be thinking about that now."

"And yet I can't help but think about how devastated she will be." pulling away from me, Undertaker pulled out a glass bottle filled with two glowing souls inside it.

"Your only thing to be worried about is you and this baby." Handing me the bottle, Undertaker pat my head.

"You know that, that now do to Sebastian knowing about you, it will be hard for me to see you." I changed the subject because I didn't want to be lectured.

"We'll figure it out. We always do." Undertaker pulled me closer to him in an attempt to comfort me. If only he knew the wrath that was about to be unleashed from a particular demon.

for the questions as to how Mafdet knows the twins' name, In my head I'm thinking that like undertaker would know it cuz he's a reaper, so given his relationship to Mafdet he would have told her, or Mafdet being a weeb and like fangirling internally would have asked. I stopped reading the manga around like the part where they run from the twin so I need to read the newest chapters and catch up, right now I am trying my best to flesh out these chapters more get them all to 3k plus words. so some of the chapters have changed etc,
