Backest of Nights chapter 12, Discordant Reply to Leniency

It was the next day, in the morning. Aftert I got up form my bed, I put on n outfit Ilde gav me, which was a black tailcoat, with a white dressshirt, with long, frilly leeves, black bitches, shiny back shoes, and a white, layered cravat. I missed the rose, that I used to have, but I new that's power and beutry inside me now. To replace it, I got a red brooch and pined it on my tailcoat. After I brushed my hare, I left my room.

Rite wen I did, though, I ran into Sebastian, ho didn't look happy. "Your awake. Its by time." Said sedastion. "U need to leave."

Ym hart stopped. "Wat? Why?" I asked. "Wat about ciel?"

"Ciel lives her, don't be stupid." Sebsatian said. "But U need to GO."

"Why?" I asked gain.

"Ur to dangerous. Even he thinks fo." Sebastian said. "So your leaving to the stret again. Gbye."

"Wait, no! I want to see him, first, before u kick me out!" I screamed. I broke from his grip, since he grab me, nd I ran up the stares to Ciels study, wher he usualy was.

Ciel wasn't ther at all tho! "Enough games." Said sebastian meanly. "Your leavin now."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed. I kicked, and bit, and hit, at sebastians arms, nd really went all out, but he was tostrong for me. Sothen before I new it, I was in the strets of london again, stil wearing my clothes, Idle gave me. I new ther was no goin back now.

I sat in the middle of the empt steet, crying, and worrying as my memoires of the street acme rusing back. Al of the times id have to hurt ppl, to survive, and escape bein prosectued by other rats….i shivered, and startde screamin, in agony.

That was wen my gut stars to hurt gain, and my eyes glow red stead of there usual goldish color. I start feelin a compas in my head, and it pointed towards an alley, way down the stret. Id been to tat alley bfor…it was the alley, in which was the hideout of the Blue Crows. My body wanted me to go there, nd I couldn't fite it.

It was like there was a voice in my head, and it was a female, saying. "Go to her, Taro. Save her, before it is to late….."

I walked, then I ran, and I stumbled, to get to the hideout. Ther was something rong, I new. Ones I got ther, I opened the dor, nd I saw a buch of Blue Crows circlin something like a colt would. They wer jerring ,nd genrally not bein nice, nd I hide to void being seen.

"lol Sylvia! Wy, are u even in this gang, anymore? Now that hour boss, ur boyfrend, is ded, thers litraly no reson for u to be hear nymore." asked one Blue Crow. I gapsed, wen I saw that they wer surounding Sylvia, Jame's girlfred, who was wearin a fancy dress, in the center, nd crying. She looked unrecognisable, from how she usually looked, since she usual wore boy clothes, nd I almost thot she looked buetiful.

"U dum bitch! Wy don't we just give her to Lizabeth Bathory, so wen she gets cot, we can catch Bathory, nd get the prize money? She looks enuff like most of the victims." Sed another Blye Crow.

"STOPPPPPPPPPPP!" wailed Sylvia, but the didn't lisen.

"R maybe we should just have fun w her, rob her, nd THEN leev her to get murfered by Bathory…..." Said another Blue Crow, with a creepy smile. It reminded me of another smile, that I saw; it was the smile James gave me, when he did ll of the horible things to me, in Bathorys casle…..

Veryone agred with that guy, nd the Crows started ot clothes in on Sylvia, with the same creppy smile. Bfore they could catch her, tho, I jumped in. "STOP!" I shotted. "Ur not gong to take nother step!"

They all turned round nd saw me, standing there. Their creepy smiles wer at me. "Oh! Its Taro Redgrave, we thot u wer ded? U lok leik " Sed one Blue Crow, the one who suggested 'have fun with Sylvia', who had olive skin, a pomnent nose, nd slick hair. "Ur n idiot for wandring in her, again. Nyway, u may not have herd, but we had a change in management recently. James is gone, so now im in charge. U can cal me Antony Beckett."

"I don't care, WHAT to call u, or who u r!" I shouted, getting in Antony's face. "Ur not bout to hurt that girl!"

"Sur we r. Didn't u here our plan?" Antony said. "Or is it, that u want in? Bcause if u want in, fel free, ym friend, as long as u can get throgh the initiation. Thers nuff of Syvia to go round."

"NO!" I screamed. I pushed Antony back, since I remembered wat James did to me, nd didn't want the same to happen to Sylvai. "I don't condome this! Ur gong to relese her, or else?"

"Or eles wat?" Asked Antony. Very other Blue Crow strated to back off, since they new of ym powers, nd stil had scars.

I focused relly hard, to use my powers in a nonfatl way, nd hurt verybody but ymself nd Sylvia. My vision tunelled, nd I herd screaming, nd smelled copper. Wen I culd see, there was som blod on the grond, but the Crows, specially Antony, wer al gone. Sylvia was still in the enter of the circle of blod, wer the Crows used to be, lookin at me with horror, nd makara runnin down her cheeks. "You bastrad…." She muttered. "Why…Y did u save me?"

I went over to her, nd offered her a hand. "I didn't want them to hurt u, of coors. Come on, I don't know wat happened, but we should probably leave soon."

She gav me a suspcious look, but took my hand. I helpde her up. She was wearing a midnite blue ball gown w a squre collar, that was somewhat low, long, clinging sleeves, with ruffled cuffs, a corset top, a gold brooch, nd layered desines on the bottom. She was wearin makeup (itw as runnin now), nd had her dark hare in a french not. Her skin was pretty pale, nd her eyes wer copper, nd reflected sad. All in all, she looked like nobility, leik Ciel's old friend Lizzie, but a lot more mature. We left the hedquartres, nd leaned gainst the wall rite outside of it.

"What the fuck wer u thinkin?" Sylvia asked me, mediately pinning me gainst the wall. "U idiot!"

I laffed awkwardly. "Tryin to save u! They had bad things planned."

"I no, but I deserve it!" Sylvia slammed me gainst the wall. "Ill kill u for this, Taro Redgrave!"

She spun and ran away, and I was worried for her. I needed to find her, or else Eliabeth Bathory would find her first….
