Chapter Four

Beast of Legend

Author's Notes

Edward Suoh here, wow over 1,000 views, I'm shocked, no seriously I thought you would hate this. But I was pleasantly surprised. Hope you all read my other stories, so you know I'm not blowing this story off, I just have other things, and work has been busy recently. And th4en I had a no Wi-Fi vacation. But I will try to update as much as possible. But yah, no need to bore you with my life, you all came to see Lizzy and Ciel hook up right? Well onto that, Ciel will mostly be discussing the Ingrot, but there will be some romance, later on I promise, that's what I've been waiting to write. Just have to set the stage for it.

Lizzy's eyes never left Ciel for an instant, she didn't want to risk anything happening to him again. But that blasted butler was following him everywhere. If he wasn't a demon, then would he be doing this? He could just be an attentive butler, but the timing was too perfect, right when she wanted to ask him, the butler was there. And speaking of demons is it possible that two demons can't be too close to each other, which is why Awamna is avoiding Sebastian and pinning the blame on Ciel? It's possible. But, could Ciel really have been traveling around for this long with a demon. That would explain how he was able to do so many unbelievable things, but did that mean, that Ciel would have his soul eaten soon? Tightening her fist until, her knuckles turned white, she silently vowed that she would die first.

Ciel noticed Lizzy eyeing him the entire ride. While he attempted to gather as much information as he could on this Ingrot, and Sebastian driving, Lizzy surely would have much time to attempt to put the pieces of the puzzle together. If Lizzy had already figured out as much as Sebastian said she had, then she was dangerously close to figuring it out, but this Ingrot appeared more dangerous than anything he had faced when defending the Queen.

This Ingrot was apparently the offspring of a dragon and a werewolf. And while he was sealed away, the other dragons died off. The werewolves while didn't not die of entirely, were forced to reproduce, with other… species, resulting in a loss of pure werewolf blood, causing offspring such as Pluto. But even those half breeds were rare.

The book said that this Ingrot was hated by both sides, the dragons and werewolves having some sort of animosity towards each other. The child's neglected emotions became unstable and he unintentionally killed his only friend, the only person who had trusted him. Apparently even the parents of this creature's parents, despised the Ingrot, so much that he was never even given a name. He was referred to as the Ingrot. Despite the fact he killed the only person who believed in him, Ciel still felt sorry for the creature.

He stole a glance at Lizzy, if he ever lost her. He had lost everyone else. The servants while they treated him as family, they just weren't his type, but somehow Lizzy, was. She brought a smile to his face in his otherwise sick, twisted, gloomy world. She had surprised him, choosing to come with him.

"Lizzy." Ciel said putting the book down and turning to his fiancé he struggled for something to ask her. Anything that would distract her.

"Yes Ciel what is it?" Could he want to ask about the demon? After all Awamna said he had brought Ciel back to life, so Ciel would remember dying, but then that story Sebastian told them about him faking his death… unless he did remember dying and that story was full of horse manure and he wasn't saying anything about it. And where exactly were they going, how did Sebastian know where this thing was, they called it a creature, what could they be hiding? Needless to say many things were wrong here with the Phantomhive business.

"Ummmm, well about this assignment, I would prefer it if you stayed out of the way, I don't want you to get hurt, this man is crazy, no longer even a man, he is a monster, he had lost his mind." There, he phrased it as though he was worried about her, which he was so this was at least a half-truth. But this would also enable him to keep her from seeing anything… demonic.

"Oh Ciel, I'm so glad you're worried about me." She said putting on a fake smile, but remembering her vow she continued "But I won't leave you." She said defiantly with a hint of sadness. She looked him in the eyes "Ciel I would die before I would risk losing you again."

He looked her straight in the eyes. He had rarely saw this side of Lizzy, she was fierce and looking into her eyes, he knew she wouldn't budge on this. He smiled and sighed, and looked at her gently and nodded. She closed her eyes and smiled a genuine smile. The carriage came to an abrupt stop. Ciel jumped out of the carriage to check what was going on.

Lizzy couldn't believe her eyes, but it made sense. When the carriage had stopped, his eye patch had flipped up for a second, the mark was different, than hers but similar. She tried to convince herself she was seeing things, but what other explanation was there? That settled it, she had to ask Ciel about Sebastian.

"What was that Sebastian? Why did you stop?" The Phantomhive heir asked, but stopped and face palmed when he saw his answer. The demon was on the ground in front of the carriage cuddling a small Siamese cat.

"Look Master, look at these soft paws, and soft fur." Sebastian said in a creepily, entranced by the beauties of the feline. "Get up, that's an order." Ciel order his butler, his eyes flashing. Immediately Sebastian bowed and lowered his head. "Yes my young lord." He raised his head and looked at Ciel. "I sense you have another order for me." Ciel nodded.

"Sebastian, this order takes utmost priority over all my other orders, even over my own safety. Keep Elizabeth safe, do not let any harm come to her, that is an order. Under no circumstances is she to be hurt." Sebastian nodded.

Ciel climbed back into the carriage and found Lizzy waiting for him. "Ciel" she said quietly. Her tone of voice worried Ciel, he could tell she meant business. "Show me your eye. The one you always keep hidden."

Sorry for the short chapter, I wanted it to end right there, but that wasn't very long. Sorry, I have been gone so long but I am back, for better or for worse. Leave reviews on what you think Ciel will do. Glad you all like the story. See you soon.
