Catherine's POV

"SEBASTIAN!" I screamed.

Tears were now pouring down my face at what I just saw. Undertaker pulled the blade of his scythe out from my husband's back. My mate's record then came to life and the first thing it showed was when the demon and my brother forged their contract.

Then the next memory showed me on the floor dying from four years ago. Ciel found me and after I refused to drink his blood did Sebastian show himself. After hesitating I watched as I sank my fangs into Sebastian's neck and drink his blood which formed the mate bond between us.

Other memories showed when Sebastian was given his name. When Ciel officially became the Earl of the Phantomhive estate. Another memory showed Sebastian proposing to me and when we got married which was followed by the birth of Esme.

Several more important memories were shown before I screamed Sebastian's name once more which alerted the demon. My husband grabbed my hand and pulled me into him before we both landed on the floor with a hard thud.

"I knew he would do that" Undertaker stated casually. "A demon will protect their mate whatever the cost"

"YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!" I snapped at the reaper before looking at my husband. Blood stained his clothes and he wasn't breathing.

"Sebastian" I said shaking him.

My mate didn't move and more tears slid down my face. Not caring who was watching I kissed the demon's lips hoping it would wake him up. It worked because after I kissed him Sebastian opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Little Dhampir are you alright?"

"You bastard! How could you do that?!"

The demon sat up and he wiped my tears away before he kissed my forehead.

"A demon keeps their mate safe"

Sebastian then glared behind me and I turned to see Undertaker was approaching. Immediately my fangs elongated and my eyes glowed.

"From watching your mate's record Lady Catherine your demon loves you dearly along with a certain fondness for his master"

"Come any closer and I'll end you" I hissed now standing up. "You hurt my mate"

The Undertaker smiled before raising his death scythe. But before he could attack the ship shook and Sebastian was quick to grab me and Sadie did the same with Ciel as the room began to tilt. Sebastian thankfully grabbed a hold on something as the room continued to tilt. Sadie was hanging onto the railing with Ciel clinging to her. Sebastian had one arm wrapped around me while I had my arms around his neck.

Stoker yelled as he slid past us and eventually died.

Grell then activated his death scythe and went after Undertaker while Ronald Knox was ready to take on my weakened husband. Sebastian moved away from our spot and coughed.

"My mate maybe wounded but he can still kick your ass Knox"

"My love" Sebastian said.

"Ronald do us a favor and leave Sebastian alone" Julia added.

"Sorry Julia" Knox apologized.

Sebastian then put me down before charging at Knox and sucker punched him. I smirked as my husband fought against his opponent while Grell fought with Undertaker and sadly the red haired reaper didn't capture the Undertaker due to Sebastian throwing Ronald right across the room and Knox slammed into Grell. I winced because that no doubt had to hurt.

The room began to shake again and Sebastian was quick to appear next to me and he picked me up into his arms. The glass dome above us shattered and water began to flood inside. Sadie still had Ciel safely hanging on to her.

"Alas the time has come for us to part! I enjoyed myself immensely!" Undertaker yelled.

But Sebastian suddenly attacked him at the time Grell did. Something slipped from the silver haired reaper's coat and I grabbed it. It was his funeral lockets.

"Well Lady Catherine I suppose I'll let you hold onto that for awhile take good care of it for me won't you? You have no idea how much of a treasure it is to me"

I was about to ask what he meant but the silver haired reaper used his death scythe and the room was suddenly split in two.

Sadie was quick to shift to her dragon form and Ciel rode on her back as she took flight into the sky. Sebastian told me to hold on before he began to run. He jumped out onto the boat deck which was sinking fast into the Atlantic. He ran all the way to the stern and once there he put a floatation device on me.

"Take a deep breath my love I'll try and hurry to find you along with the young master and Lady Clarke"

My husband then threw me forward just as the stern went underneath the waves taking Sebastian along with it.

"Holy shit that's cold!" I exclaimed when I hit the freezing water.

Sadie saw me and she descended to where I was. When she got close enough I swam to her hind leg and climbed onto her back. The dragoness saw something because she flew ahead and below was Sebastian with a lifeboat. The dragoness descended until she was right above the lifeboat and after Ciel and I were safely in it did she revert to her human form. She climbed out of the cold Atlantic Ocean and into the boat soaking wet.

Sebastian gave me his tailcoat to wear. Ciel didn't need it because dragon shifters could share their inner fire with their mates hence why my brother and his fiancee weren't freezing. Since Sebastian was a demon the cold water didn't effect him either.

"Sebastian look out!" Ciel shouted and a female zombie attacked my husband. She took my mate underwater with her but the demon kicked her away.

"Why didn't the corpses go down with the Campania?!" Sadie demanded as more corpses surfaced.

"The cold water doesn't effect them and they don't require oxygen so they can't drown" Sebastian answered her.

"Their here for our souls" I notified.

More zombies attacked my husband and a few seconds later the demon was in the boat with us standing on his feet. He used the oar to smack a few of the corpses away as well as kicking them.

I stood up as well and took my swords out.

Ciel took off his eyepatch and the contract in his eye glowed fiercely.

"This is an order Sebastian! Exterminate them!"

Sebastian obeyed and as the corpses jumped into the air both my husband and I began to fight them off. The demon used the oar while I used my swords. The boat shook as the battle continued. And it continued until the last of the corpses were disposed of.

Sometime later the sun began to rise and Sebastian still stood and panted hard. The last time I saw my husband like this was when he had been whipped. My beloved gasped before dropping the oar and he went to his knees clutching his stomach. Immediately I was at his side and I pulled my husband close to me.

"Sebastian are you alright?" Ciel asked.

"Yes my lord I am but even for one such as me a death scythe is something not to be trifled with"

Sebastian then lay his head against my chest and I stroked his hair while looking at the funeral lockets I still held.

"Damn the Undertaker for doing this to you what was he after?"

"I'm afraid I couldn't hazard a guess my love" Sebastian replied weakly. "But you have his mourning jewelry something clearly precious to him I feel quite certain we'll meet him again"

Sebastian gasped before coughing. Suddenly a ship horn got our attention and coming close was the rescue ship.

"Sebastian" Ciel began and he looked to my husband. "I'm ordering you to rest"

"And once we're on board the rescue ship I'll tend to your injuries however you still need to rest after I've healed you demon" Sadie added.

"You did well Sebastian both you and Catherine"

"Thank you my lord" Sebastian responded.

"You shush you were ordered to rest mate"

My husband chuckled before complying with my own order.

Julia's POV

I watched as Will pull Grell out of the water.

"Honestly it was a simple collection and you couldn't even manage that"

"Will I swear to god if you don't shut the hell up I'm going to toss you out of the damn boat" I threatened.

But the reaper didn't hear me and he placed my mate on top of Ronald. Then to my horror he used his foot to try and wake up the two male reapers. Grell woke up and had hearts in his eyes at seeing Will.

"Will dear!" my beloved stood up. "How sweet you came to fetch me!"

Will however stood aside and Grell yelped before he fell back into the water.

"I'm not here to fetch anyone" he corrected.

"ALRIGHT ASSHOLE NOW YOU PISSED ME OFF!" I interrupted and I grabbed his death scythe and used it to push Will into the water.

"Julia!" Grell protested.

I ignored my mate and shot Will the bird and the serious reaper simply glared back at me.

Later.

Catherine's POV

Once on the rescue ship we reunited with our loved ones. Richard literally threw himself against his sister relieved she was safe. Aunt Francis, Uncle Alexis, Edward, and Lizzy were very relieved we were okay. The rescue ship was going back to Southampton and that would take a few days.

Thankfully there was enough room for accommodations so Sebastian and I had a room along with the other surviving passengers. Sadie kept to her word and tended to Sebastian's wounds. It took her longer to heal them and afterwards Sebastian fell asleep.

It was now night and I had just returned from dinner. New clothes were given to passengers and I was glad to have my blood soaked dress off of me. Sebastian still slept so I went to take another shower. A little bit later I returned to the bedroom and Sebastian was awake. He was sitting up and completely shirtless from the waist up. I only had a towel wrapped around my body which got the demon's attention.

"Even after being seriously wounded you still have perverted thoughts" I teased my husband. I heard his thoughts when he saw me. Sebastian smirked while I changed into my nightwear. I then slid into bed next to my mate.

Without warning Sebastian claimed my lips with his catching me off guard. I blushed and closed my eyes losing myself into the kiss as I always did whenever these mind blowing kisses happened. The demon thankfully didn't push it and eventually stopped the kiss. He then lay his head on top of my chest and I stroked his hair.

"You really scared me Sebastian" I told my husband. "You know I can't lose you"

Sebastian lifted his head up so he could look at me.

"I would do it again if I had to, you are my mate Catherine and the Undertaker was correct a demon will protect their mate at all costs"

He kissed my forehead before continuing.

"I am sorry for scaring you Little Dhampir"

"Your forgiven demon"

Sebastian smiled before he lay his head back onto my chest. The two of us ended up falling asleep not long afterwards.

That wraps up Book of the Atlantic folks!

Don't worry guys this story isn't over yet XD. I hoped Julia sending Will overboard makes you guys laugh.
