Catherine's POV

Just when Sebastian was about to lead us to the boat deck did the ceiling above us suddenly give way. Thankfully we weren't crushed and looking back at us from the next floor was Grell.

"Son of a bitch" I growled just as the red haired reaper jumped down and stood before us.

"I was hoping to see you two here darlings" Grell purred at me and Sebastian.

"Mr. Sutcliffe! Julia isn't going to be happy!" Ronald Knox protested from above.

Julia wasn't with her mate and colleague.

"Blast we don't have time for this" Ciel muttered and Sadie agreed.

"Oh Bassy! What are you doing here with Catherine?" Grell asked obviously flirting.

"Purely coincidence" Sebastian answered simply.

Grell giggled and Knox thankfully distracted the red head reaper so our group tried to make a get away but Grell noticed.

"And where do you think your going?!" he demanded blocking our path.

"Damn it Grell we don't have time for this! Move aside will you!" I snapped getting annoyed.

"Oh and if I say no?" Grell inquired playfully.

"Then I'll have to force you aside" Sebastian responded.

This excited Grell and the red haired reaper started up his chainsaw.

"Just who is that?" Lizzy asked.

"A damn nuisance" I stated.

"Please stand back while I'll deal with him" Sebastian suggested and Grell charged. The rest of us got out of the way while Sebastian began to fight with Grell. But being the idiot he was Grell accidentally used his death scythe to destroy a porthole and the room began to fill with water.

"Come on Sebastian can handle himself" I said getting everyone's attention.

They agreed and we ventured into the hallway but Ciel yelped and landed on the floor with a thud due to him falling over something. Lizzy and Richard endured the same thing while Sadie and I rushed to Ciel's side.

"His leg is injured" Sadie notified. "I can try to heal it"

"Uh you might want to hurry it up!" Richard shouted at his sister.

I looked ahead and a swarm of corpses were about to reach Lizzy and Richard. Ciel immediately began to fire rounds at the heads until his gun no longer had bullets. Taking action I drew my swords out and leapt into the air slicing off various heads. I came upon the coat of arms we passed a second ago and using one hand I drew out a sword and threw it to Lizzy.

The blonde caught it and she sliced the nearest corpse close to her. Both Sadie and Richard had their eyes widened while I wore a proud smirk. I disposed of two more corpses before joining Lizzy's side.

"Shall we dispose of these bastards?" I asked my cousin.

"Gladly" was her response before she and I began our sword dance. Together she and I either decapitated the heads or push our swords through their mouths. Blood soaked our hands and our ruined dresses but we didn't care. All what mattered was we protected our loved ones.

I saw a few of the lifeless corpses appear behind Sadie and Ciel so I was quick to cut their heads off while Lizzy did the same with a few corpses that closed in on Richard.

"I'm sorry I never showed this side of me before" Lizzy told Richard. "But I couldn't lose you and now it's my turn to protect you Richard as you have always done for me"

Once I made sure Ciel and Sadie were safe I rejoined Lizzy's side. She had her back turned away from her mate so she could face the corpses ahead of her.

"Alright Lizzy let's take these bastards down"

My cousin smirked before she and I charged forward together and once more we continued our sword dance. In my opinion we made a hell of a team. With two sword fighters we took down the corpses faster. At one point I almost got bitten when Lizzy sliced the head off of the corpse that tried to bite me. And I returned the favor by doing the same a few seconds later.

To finish things off we both ran on the walls opposite of one another and with one last surge based on adrenaline she and I slayed the remaining corpses. When it was over Richard rushed to Lizzy and hugged her.

"I'm proud of you"

Lizzy blushed before she buried her head into her beloved's chest. Giving them some privacy I approached Ciel and Sadie. Ciel was back on his feet no doubt healed by Sadie.

"You and Elizabeth make one hell of a team" my brother complimented.

"Are you okay now little brother?" I demanded.

"Yes I'm fine"

I nodded before giving Sadie a grateful nod before venturing back into the room where Sebastian had fought with Grell and Ronald. It was completely trashed thanks to their brawl.

"You know Catherine you and I should have our own death match" Grell stated. "I forgot how fierce of a fighter you were using those swords!"

I rolled my eyes and Sebastian kissed my forehead. Snake found us and Ciel looked relieved until he noticed Ryan was missing. The bastard had escaped!

"So this Ryan bloke knows about the corpses?" Grell asked.

"Yeah he's the founder of the bloody society" I replied.

"He's also on the death list" Julia interrupted.

She looked around the room and sighed before turning to Grell and she smacked him hard on the head. Grell as usual whined before he blew me and Sebastian a kiss which earned him another smack by his mate. The three reapers then took off to deal with more soul collecting.

Time however wasn't on our side so our group made our way to the main deck where the lifeboats were being boarded. Edward looked annoyed but at having Lizzy rush into his arms made up for that.

Lizzy wasn't thrilled when she heard we were still staying on board but she understood. Richard on the other hand threw a fit about Sadie and the dragoness rendered her little brother unconscious. She kissed Richard on his forehead before looking to Lizzy and Edward.

"Take care of my little brother"

Lizzy nodded while Edward scooped Richard over his shoulder. Snake then protested about going in Ciel's place. Ciel was adamant he go on the lifeboat and the snake handler eventually agreed. Lizzy wished us luck before Sebastian, Ciel, Sadie, and I went to find Stoker and put an end to this once and for all.
