Lullay, Black Butler (sebastian michaelis love story) Chapter 5 – Her Butler; Truth Revealed
Notes: I have a couple of people in here and I'm not going to go in true details on what they look like. Just use your imaginations.
The day continues on and like he said, he made tea.
"Here, Eli. This should help you warm up." As he hands me a cup.
"Thank you." I take a sip and it did have a smooth, warm, comfortable feel to it.
"I take it this tea is to your liking?"
"Yes. It has that comfort feel to it. Especially since winter's coming soon." As he smiles.
"Yes. You're right." I finish the cup and he takes it from me.
"Thank you again, Sebastian." He bows and leaves. Clean this, see girls and give them lunch, clean that, see girls. Finally, night falls and I finish my last chore. "Ah-choo!"
"Gazoontite!" I turn and see Luna.
"Oh, Luna."
"Mr. Sebastian's getting dinner ready. He said for you to wash up as well."
"Ah-choo! Ah-choo! ~shivers~ Sorry, Luna. You'll have to have dinner without me. Ah-choo! Where's Lily?"
"Helping Mr. Sebastian."
"You know you two don't need to call him 'Mr.' right?"
"We know!" She smiles.
"Tell everyone I am sorry though. Okay?"
"Okay. Get better." I go upstairs to my room and then, I see two people in my room. One covers my mouth and I try to fight with everything that I got, breaking mirror and walls, but then, black.
Ciel's POV
"Eli went to bed already?"
"Yes. She kept sneezing and shivering; so I think she's trying to get some rest. And she's really sorry." ~glass shattering~
"Luna, stay here with Lily and DO NOT go upstairs. Sebastian!" We both run up and towards Eli's room. It's a mess. Someone must have kidnapped Eli. She or the suspects were nowhere to be found.
"ELI?!" I turn and it was Lily and Luna.
"I told you to stay downstairs!"
"Where's Eli!?"
"Ciel? I got a good idea who might have done this."
"You sure, Luna?"
"Positive!"
Elianna's POV
I feel…weak…where…am I? I open my eyes and see a mirror and floor.
"I feel like shit." My face was pitch red like I got a fever.
"Well, you're sick, darling."
"I…know that voice. James…Alkery. It's been 2 months since Madam May expelled you."
"Very good. You remember me. I was about to pay you a visit at the Everton Manor, till I saw it was burnt down. I hired men to search high and low for you and your sisters. And I found you with the Phantomhives instead. Tell me what I need to know and I'll spare your sisters."
"Huh, huh. Hey, boss. Look what I found." A big, yet stupid thug comes in and throws a person by me, all tied up.
"Ci…el?"
"Heh, they found me too."
"You…fool."
"You're one to talk. Going outside without a coat."
"Shut up!" James kicks Ciel and knocks him to the ground. He couldn't move. I weakly crawl and place myself on top of Ciel, protecting him.
"Ciel's not…your target. I…am."
"Talk and I'll spare your sisters and your friend's life."
"What do…you…want?"
"The Book of Shadows. Where is it?"
"It'll be…of no use to…you. It…was inside…the manor…"
"ARE YOU SAYING IT'S NOW ASH!?"
"Nothing…but ashes…"
"WHY YOU-" The door opens and I see Sebastian. Ciel shifts his body so he's looking at the same direction I'm looking at. Sebastian looks at me and bows.
"I have come to retrieve my Master and Lady Elianna." I hear James withdraw a gun, but doesn't fire.
"You must be kidding. You're supposed to be a knight in shining armor?"
'Knight…in shining…armor?' James grabs me by the hair and wraps his arm around me. I don't know if it was ears and eyes playing tricks, but I saw Sebastian looking pissed and growled.
"You have heard what I want?!"
"I did…and I do." He uncovers something he has under his arm and it was a big black book.
"I…I can't believe…it! It's the …Book of Shadows!"
"It's right here." Then, a gunshot went straight to his head, blood splatters everywhere. Ciel gasps, my eyes widen and I'm in shock. More gunshots fire and get him in every inch of his body. He collapses on the floor, lifeless.
"SE…BAS…TIAN!" I start to cry. I hear James talk, but I don't care what he says. Crying? I guess bawling like a little child when she does something wrong.
"Stop your crying, Everton! Otherwise, I'll kill you instantly!"
"Alright." I hear Ciel. "Enough playing around. Only you can make Eli stop crying, idiot." I stop crying. I…I can't believe it! Did I see Sebastian's hand twitch?
"My apologies, dear Eli. I don't mean to make you cry and afraid." He starts to rise. James speaks,
"That's impossible!" Sebastian coughs up blood and the bullets that were fired to him and he smiles a wicked smile. "But…how!?"
"Sebas…tian?!" He throws the bullets at the bigger thug and he falls hard.
"What the hell kind of a butler are you!? You are not an ordinary butler!?"
"You see, sir…I am simply one hell of a butler."
"This is an order! Save me AND Elianna now!" Everything went black. I hear a gunshot with the gun to my head. But, how come I feel alive? Sebastian, Ciel, I and James appear. Sebastian holds something in his hand. The bullet that was supposed to go to my head. HOW!? He drops the shell and James cries in horror as he lets me go and I fall to the ground, still weak. I turn my head and his arm was disgustedly twisted. Sebastian picks Ciel up and places him on a chair and unties him. "Sebastian. Don't forget Eli. She protected me."
"Yes, Master." He comes and picks me up and places me on the arm of the same chair that Ciel sits in. "Dear Elianna. You've caught yourself the flu. Maybe the Scarlet Fever." As he places his hand on my forehead. I don't care about that now.
"What…are…you?"
"You see, Elianna, I am simply," as his eyes change to those demonic purple eyes, "One hell of a butler."
'Those eyes…just like my dream.' "You're…not human."
"I believe this is yours." As he hands me the Book of Shadows. "As long as my Master holds the contract, I am his loyal servant." He removes his left glove with his teeth and that made me wet, but I look to Ciel and his right eye has a symbol that looks like a pentagram. "A wish, a sacrifice and this," as he holds his left hand up and the symbol looks just like Ciel's eye, "All these things keep me bound to Lord Phantomhive. Until the day I swallow his soul."
'My God.' Sebastian picks me up bridal way and I hold on tighter to the book.
"My sweet, Elianna. Sleep now." As his bare hand close my eyes…then, darkness.
Sebastian's POV
"Unfortunately for you, it's all over." The kidnapper vanishes, never returning to harm Elianna or anyone again. "Let's go, Sebastian."
"Yes, my Lord." I look at Eli and she's unconscious. And she has a tight grip on the book. 'Could you be a witch, Elianna?' I remember back on Lily saying that Luna levitated items around the room. I'll know later, but knowing Master and Eli are safe and alive, that's important. The sun's setting and we get home, when I see an unfamiliar carriage. "Who could this be?" The main door opens and Lily and Luna run towards us.
"ELI!"
"CIEL!" They stop in front of us. "Is she-"
"No, young Moon. She's asleep. I believe she caught the flu from the night you three left the burning Manor and she covered you and Lily with her cloak." 'Which I'm still surprised that she did that. To protect other's lives instead of her own priceless life.' Luna's eyes widen.
"Is that…the Book of Shadows? I thought the book would have burned."
"The book is protected by magic and elements." An older lady walks to us; around her late 50's.
"I hope you didn't mind me calling her here and telling her where we live now." Says Lily. My Master speaks,
"And you are?"
"I am Linda May. I am Elianna's tutor. And I am a witch."
We all go to Eli's room, which is cleaned up, and I place her on her bed.
"Erm…Se…bast…ian." I'm taken a back. Am I really on her mind? Linda opens a container and pulls a syringe.
"This is a flu vaccine, but, just in case," She puts in a white glitter liquid mix with the vaccine.
"What is that?" asks my Master.
"A very special mixture to get rid of the witch in the blood. I cleaned Luna already and Lily hasn't been affected by it. I wouldn't be surprised if Elianna has used at least one spell."
"Hmm? Should she not be a witch?" I ask.
"Oh, she is. But, if she's not, nothing happens. But, she is. So, this is really going to hurt. Lord Ciel, can you bring two strong men up here?"
Few minutes later, Baldroy and Finny appear. "Thank you. Now, Lord Ciel, I'll need you, Lily and Luna to wait outside."
"Yes, Madam May. Come girls." Lily follows and Luna rests her head on Eli's to give support. Then, she leaves.
"Baldroy, hold her left wrist. Finny, her ankles. Sebastian, her right wrist and be her supporter."
"Supporter?"
"To calm her down. Like I said, she's to be in a lot of pain." She examines her syringe. As soon as I say three, hold her down as much as you can. She opens a clear jar. "This is so the black aura can leave Eli's body." I ask,
"What would you do with it?"
"Purify it to white. And use a simple while magic like growing a plant. Ready? One…two…" Everyone prepares. "THREE!" We all hold her down and she enters the syringe in Eli's neck.
"AHH! GRA! AGH! SOMEONE HELP!" I'm holding her down tight as well as the others. She's really struggling to break free. "AHH! HA! IT BURNS! MAKE IT STOP!" She cries in pain and tears pour and there's nothing I can do for her. I place my head by hers.
"I'm sorry, Eli. It's okay. It'll be over soon."
"What…is…this!?" I look and Linda was thrown towards the wall.
"Linda!" Eli starts to relax. Then, she stops moving.
"Eli?"
"She's fine. Just used a lot of her strength." Finny helps Linda up. "I don't understand." She looks at the book as well as us. There's black aura with a hint of purple encircling the book. "I don't understand. How is this possible!? That's Eli's aura. This means…The Book of Shadows…has chosen Eli…as its new master!"
'Eli's…a witch.'
LIKE I SAID! Two chapters in one day. That's what happens when you're bed rest. Hope you are content with these chapters so far! Stay tuned!
