Hey everybody! Just as a fair warning this chapter might be long since a LOT of stuff is going to happen in it, so if you have somewhere to be, then maybe you should wait a bit, lol! Anyway character-critique-central hasnt stopped yet and started reviewing morganite but dont worry! I have a very special punishment planned for character-critique-central the ultimate jerkoff... :)
Before i went to the meeting with ciel, i decided that i would get something to greet him with at the store. I had stolen some money from a beaurocrat a few days ago so i had some funds to spend, fortunately. I was on my way to the small thrift store at the end of the street i used to live on when i was apporached by a bunch of larger street rats. I knew them too well...they were the blue crows.
The blue crows had been bothering me ever since i started being a street rat, and since their stronger than me, theyre always able to steal whatever i take. It was because of them that i went hungry for almost a year, and it was one of their members that i stabbed, that fateful evening... "Hey, redgrave! Your looking awfuly fancy today, whats the occassion?" the leader of the gang, james monty, teased.
"Shut up, james, im just going to the thrift store." I said. I tried to nudge past them, but they stopped me.
"And whats with the dumb rose?" Jame's girlfriend, silvia, asked, looking at it with a smirk. "You look like a pansy."
I was startng to get angry, but i was determined not to lash out with violence. "Let me go." I growled.
"Heh, not if you have money, we won't!" James sneered. He moved to take the money out of my pocket, but when he did, there was a red glow. I started feeling really strange and powerful, and then i blacked out.
When i came to, i was still on the street, but things were different. Everything was a lot darker and menacing, and the blue crows were gone. Instead, sebastian was in front of me. "I see youv unlocked the roses' power." he said calimly.
"W-what?" i asked.
"The rose i gave you has a very special ability. When you need the power the most, it will grant you the powers...of a demon." he smiled. "Thats why i gave it to you. You must use its powers to protect my young master when im unable to do so myself. When he spends time around you and shuns me, your the only one capable of protecting him. My hope rests on you."
There was a flash again, and when i was i the normal world, i saw that all of the blue crows were bleeding from there foreheads and having panic attacks. They looked pale and for a second I thought they might die, but i didnt want to waste time helping them when they never gave me mercy in the past, so i kept going. I could always just help on my way back...if they were still alive. Either way, I quickly got some cholocate from the thrift shop and hurried back, not checking to see if the blue crows were dead.
I got to the estate and still had an hour left before ciel wanted to meet me, so i decided to wander around a bit until suddenly, way before the meeting time, ciel approached me. He looked serious. "We have to talk."
In a darker part of london where it was dark and foggy, a girl walked the street alone. She was wearing a frilly orange dress, and she had blonde teto hair drills. It was lizzie. There was something ominos in the air, and she could feel it as she trembled. A shadow drated behind her, and she turned to see nothing. When she looked forward again, though, she saw a woman with long dark brown hair, pale skin, and a blood red ballgown. "Good evening." the woman said.
"A-ah..." was all izzie said.
"You seem lost. How would you like to spend some time in my castle while we find where your going?" the woman smiled.
"U-um, okay." lizzie took the woman's hand and the woman began leading her away. "I'm lizzie. So, what's your name, lady?"
"My name?" The woman smirked more, showing off sharp pointy teeth like a shark's. "Im elizabeth bathory. I think well get along grate, lizzie..."
She laughed evily, and that was the last thing lizzie ever heard...
