Lullay, Black Butler (sebastian michaelis love story) Chapter 9 – His Lady, Admitting
Elianna's POV
"Wow! That's such a shiny award there, Mr. Sebastian!" says Luna, who has been walking side by side with Sebastian ever since the contest ends.
"This is called a trophy. Contestants that win contests are awarded these sort of prizes." He smiles to Luna, who returns the smile. I look at Lily, who has a face, like she has something on her mind. We make it back to the house in London and Ciel says,
"Tomorrow, we return home."
"Oh, excuse me." We turn and it was Madam May and Doctor Peterson.
"Oh, good evening, Madam May and Dr. Peterson." I greeted.
"Madam May!" says Lily and Luna to Dr. Peterson. Ciel says,
"That's right. Dr. Peterson, from the party."
"And Madam May, Eli's tutor." Says Sebastian.
"Yes. A while ago, Eli's father hosted a party and that is how Henry and I met, as acquaintances."
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"We followed you, darling. I was planning on calling you tonight, but, here we are."
"Call Eli for what?" questions Lily.
'I bet I know.' "Mey-Rin, can you see to that Lily and Luna are to bed?"
"Of course."
"I'll see you girls later."
"Okay sister." Lily says and Luna yawns, following Mey-Rin upstairs. Sebastian must have known, too.
"Bard and Finny, you two can go and rest now." They both nod and left with Dr. Peterson following. I spoke,
"So, what did you need to talk to me about?"
"Is it about Elianna's powers?" asks Ciel, who must have seen me during the Curry Contest.
"I'm afraid so."
We all sit in the living room,
"Eli, we were at the Crystal Palace earlier and saw the attack. It seems the spice that some of the citizens had made them smell not only the unpure, but the unpure witch too. And someone is acting as a ringleader to them. There's someone that knows you, because he's trying to wipe all witches out."
"But, no one knows I'm a witch except Ciel, Sebastian and you."
"Eli. I know the truth. Of your parents." I started to get scared. I thought the worst was coming my way.
"They're…not-" I ask worried and eyes wide.
"They're alive. But, held captive. Elianna…your mother, was the last Book of Shadows master. No. She's the Supreme of Shadows." Everyone gasps. Even me.
"What?"
Six Months Ago
"There. I have said it. When the time comes, it will be Eli's turn."
"Abigal, are you that it is wise?"
"Linda, the damn witch hunters and priests will be coming. To take Oswald and I away."
"Will you even fight them?" As Abigal looks at the portrait of her family.
"It's the only way; to surrender to them. When Eli is in the brink of death, she will be the new Master of the book, but not Supreme. You must teach her the Seven Wonders. The less they know for now, the better. I won't put my daughters in danger."
Present/Elianna's POV
"That same night, they came and took them away. Your mother's wish – is that you must learn the Seven Wonders."
"The Seven Wonders?" I ask.
"What exactly is that?" Ciel questions.
"If I'm correct, it shows true demonstration of titlement to Supremacy. If one masters it, she can be the biggest threat to all mankind."
"That's true, Sebastian, but she can be a threat if she uses that power for darkness. Eli, your mother, today, is still Supreme."
"So…?"
"Born a witch, you must be the new Supreme to rid the darkness. Learn the new things along with what you know." I look down at my hands placed on my lap. "Eli, we need to leave tomorrow morning, join the other witches in training."
'I…can't.' I stand up, "Madam May, I need a moment."
"You have an hour."
I return to my room.
"I can't. The Seven Wonders. I want to fight alongside with my mother, not take her place."
"That's what she would want for her daughter." I turn and it was Sebastian. It's been a while since we had this time alone.
"Sebastian…I don't know."
"Are you afraid?"
"Of what?"
"Failing."
"…No." He walks closer to me. My heart beats for him. I blush for him.
"Then, why can't you?"
"I've heard of the Seven Wonders. I'm afraid of losing my life doing this."
"You will not die. You're strong, Eli. You have a strong mind and heart." I slightly bit my lower lip.
"And I'm afraid…to lose…you." His eyes widen as he gasps.
Sebastian's POV
'Please, don't Eli. Please don't fall in love with me.'
Elianna's POV
"I…I can't hold it. Sebastian…I…I…I love you." He's shock. "After everything you have done for Lily and Luna, I realize that…I can be with someone like you." I smile. I took a step towards him, but he backs away. "Huh? Sebastian?" His face looks sad.
"I'm just doing my job as a Phantomhive butler," He turns, his back facing me, "Madam May is waiting for you." He walks, I grab his hand, but he pulls it, me along and he pinned me to the wall. I shudder, his body leaning on me. His eyes turn into demonic eyes. "A demon like me can never love. I…I can't carry human emotions. All emotion I've shown for is my Master. Because I crave for his soul," He licks his lips, "His delicious soul. Times I don't know how long I can last."
"Then, take my soul."
"Huh?"
"I'm prepared. To die for you. Just so you can live more."
"I can't. But, your soul isn't what I desire. It's your heat." My eyes widen. I can feel him press harder to me. I feel like I'm ready for him, but I'm not ready.
"No…Sebastian." His hand cups my chin. And I stare in his eyes. His lips form a smile. "Let me show you. Please, Sebastian. Let me show you emotions." I take his tailcoat and pull it to me and I lean in and kiss Sebastian. There it is again. The feeling in the pit of my stomach. This time, I will not let him stop me. I take his tailcoat off and with his teeth, he takes his gloves off and shows his hand that has the contract symbol.
"I can never leave him. Not as long as he has his soul and waiting to get his revenge for his parent's death. Once I have it, then, I will have you."
"It doesn't matter. I'll find a way to make myself immortal with you."
"No, Eli." I went to undo his pants, but he stops me and kisses my neck.
"Ah, Sebastian…" He stops and looks in my eyes.
"You can do it."
I walk downstairs with Sebastian behind me and Ciel and Madam May stood.
"Well?" I stood in silence.
"When do I pack?" Madam May smiles.
"Immediately and leave first thing tomorrow morning."
