Chapter Five
Standoff
Me: Hello everyone and welcome back to Lizzy's contract, I hope you enjoy chapter five of the epic love saga that spans time and space…
The whole cast of Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji: What is he talking about?
Me: For those of you confused, Ciel is Awamna, in demon form. It says in the manga, that Ciel made Sebastian look like his father, so demons can change their shape, and because he is still part human he chooses the form he takes. Hope that makes sense. Did anyone else think that this story should have been Romance/Suspense instead of Humor? I didn't expect it to be so suspenseful, but I'm glad you like it. Well on to the disclaimers, Sebastian, Claude.
Claude: Edward Suoh doesn't own any Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji and he apologizes for any grammatical errors. There I'm done now give me your soul.
Me: That wasn't part of the agreement. 'Runs Away'
Claude: 'Chases me'
Sebastian: The Ingrot and other affiliated characters not mentioned within the prefix of the Black Butler series belong to Suoh. So you can't have them. Unless you say please, let me eat your soul and give Suoh the credit.
Me: Not you too Sebastian *runs really fast*.
Me: Good I lost Claude, now let us begin, let us dive into my brain and retell on of the most fascinating stories my crazy little brain has come up with yet.
Ciel: Please kill him someone.
Me: Then Elizabeth will be all alone, since this is my story.
Ciel: Stupid writer.
Me: Well places everyone, narrator take it.
Previously on Lizzy's Contract: 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."

Ciel's POV
Ciel looked at his fiancé, worried that she may be on to him. Sebastian had warned her that she was catching on but this quickly. And considering he has had Sebastian's "services" for multiple years now, why was she just now catching on? Could it be he revealed something when he was Awamna?
Fortunately a large earthquake shook the carriage, distracting Lizzy. Ciel took the opportunity to jump out. He saw Sebastian, staring at him. "Your orders, Sir?" he asked.
"Get Lizzy out of here. I'll handle whatever it is." The young demon ordered. Sebastian nodded and picked up the entire carriage and jumped off into the distance. The sole Phantomhive heir stepped forward and saw a lone figure approaching. The figure was wearing a blood red robe and stood around five foot six. He marched wordlessly towards Ciel as though possessed. Upon reaching him he simply walked past him and chuckled quietly. Ciel turned towards the figure who was looking up at the sky. "Have you ever just stood back and wondered…" He turned to Ciel, and Ciel could easily see this man was insane. His eyes had a feverish look, and they were glazed over. "Light or Dark, which do you walk? Ciel Phantomhive, I ask you, are you a guardian or a destroyer?"
Ciel couldn't make heads or tails out of what the man was saying. But he knew his name, and he caused an earthquake. "Who are you?" Ciel asked cautiously.
"Are you asking, for my name? Because I never chose that name, so it isn't really mine is it? You never chose to forsake your humanity did you, you evil fairy?" Ciel clenched his fist, something was off about this guy, and he could get a reading on him.
"What do you want, and don't avoid the question." He asked angrily. The man picked up his feet levitating, a few feet off the air, he sat in a meditation pose as though contemplating the answer. After a few seconds he opened his closed eyes and looked down at Ciel.
He smiled "Demon Blood." Ciel thought he meant his blood and he leapt back until he saw blood pouring out of the floating man's mouth. After vomiting a large amount of lack blood and stood on the ground again. "So sad, I sense, though you walk in darkness, the light in you fends it off, a defense, a shield, and she is at the center of it." Ciel knew he meant Lizzy, his strength. The man continued "Through the darkness most stumble to find light, but you are walking straight towards it, confidently never once fearing what you cannot see. But that is a mistake, you can't dodge an attack if you don't see it coming." The man pointed towards Ciel's feet. Ciel looked down and saw the black blood had wrapped around his legs. Struggling as he did he couldn't free himself.
"Sebastian, get her now!" Almost instantly multiple knives appeared on the blood, causing it to retreat back to its master. "Oh how sad, you scared my blood, now it is boiling. Well I had hoped to capture you alive, but apparently that won't work." He raised his hands, the blood mirroring his hand. "Boiling Blood!"
Sebastian arrived in the nick of time, blocking the blood. Sighing he removed his mostly destroyed jacket. "That was the finest quality, imported from France. You are going to pay for that, and for hurting my master." The butler looked back at his master. "We need Awamna, when in that form you can use the contract you made with Elizabeth, she made you promise to keep Ciel safe right, that is an order form her, honor it." Ciel nodded shifting to his demon form. He looked at the unnamed man who had a strangely satisfied look on his face. "Why do you walk in the light Michaelis? I can see it is eating you away from the inside."
The demon smiled. "My master walks, clothed in light, it is my duty as a butler to be by his side always, even if he chooses the light, for I am simply one hell of a demon's butler." He concluded bowing, but Ciel could see the look in his eyes, pain, and hunger, Sebastian was dying, the only way demons could. But he didn't show it flashing away. He ran towards the man, knives at the ready.

Lizzy's POV
Lizzy was outraged, Sebastian, had picked up the entire carriage, and leapt away with it. There was no doubt about it now, Ciel's mark, Sebastian's beyond human abilities. He was a demon. So when he suddenly dropped her and vanished, she decide Ciel needed her help. Retrieving the sword she put in the back of the trunk when no one was watching she ran off in the direction they were headed before the earthquake.
Despite her best efforts her thoughts all drifted to Ciel, the funeral… losing him. She shook her head and ran a little faster, ignoring her aching feet she promised herself she wouldn't lose Ciel again, and she wasn't going to break that promise. Ciel would live, she had Awamna after all. Reaching a clearing in the forest, she saw a strange man with black blood at his feet, and… Sebastian and Awamna, fighting him. She snuck a little closer praying that she wouldn't be spotted. "My master walks, clothed in light, it is my duty as a butler to be by his side always, even if he chooses the light, for I am simply one hell of a demon's butler." Lizzy couldn't believe her ears. A demon's butler, but he was Ciel's butler, unless, Awamna, was Ciel! No way, only demons could make contracts, and Ciel had a contract with Sebastian, so he was human. She rushed forth, not able to deal with her mental problems so she decided to deal with her physical problems. Catching the man of guard she slashed him in the chest, causing black blood to spill from his chest. He leapt back, his mask temporarily dropped, Lizzy saw his face, full of shock, but then his mask was back on, his eerily all knowing smile, he closed his eyes, and began breathing deeply.
"Lizzy, what are you doing here?" Ciel asked.
"Defending you, Ciel, no one else calls me Lizzy." She said looking at the demon. His reaction was as expected, shock followed by denial.
"Ciel who is this Ciel?" he said, but she could tell from his voice he was lying. "Well talk later." She said turning to the floating man. "Let's finish this." The two demons nodded and put up their fists. Elizabeth slowly crept up to the man, who suddenly opened his eyes. He smiled "Link complete. It took me a while, your brain is rather scattered right now." He lightly touched down and held up both of his hands. "Man has two sides, his mind and his body. When his body is exhausted his mind can force him to work by sheer will alone, and the best way to break someone's mind is to destroy their body. Humans are so fragile this way, they are always totally and completely vulnerable. Like you Elizabeth Midford, you couldn't stand thinking that your finance was an evil fairy so you attacked me, hoping the physically would blot out your pain, but with your mind as a wreck as it is you barely scratched me. Only one of pure mind and heart can hurt me. And I'm in all your minds now, I can sense any attacks you make." He said triumphantly, like a scholar revealing his newest Nobel prizing winning award.
He smiled his creepy trademark smile and with the faraway look in his eyes he said "And now I attack" He charged at Sebastian who was only a few feet away from him. The man apparently caught the butler off guard because he was sent sprawling back, blood appearing on his arm. The man put his hand in his pocket and laughed. "I am Seeing Red and I will open the gate. The red is blood, and I want to see all of your blood. I can cause internally bleeding by simply touching you. And I can read your thoughts so dodging me won't work. Well are you ready to come quietly?" He asked, but before we could even respond he chuckled menacingly. "Of course I wouldn't let that happened even if you begged." He took his hand out of his pocket, clutching a scrap of paper dearly. "This says I can't kill you so I'll try not to, but that doesn't mean I can't make you bleed." Ciel stepped protectively in front of Lizzy. "Why don't you try fighting me?" Seeing Red laughed. "You, I just beat your superior demon and you think you can stand a chance against me?"
Awamna or Ciel answered "Sebastian hasn't eaten since he began working for me, so he is exhausted, however you won't be able to touch me." He said defiantly.
Seeing Red shrugged indifferently "I can read your mind and…" he raised his hand "One touch can cause internally bleeding."
Awamna laughed. "Then I am the perfect opponent for you. Whose mind did you copy, the human or the demons? And I and Sebastian are very different kinds of demons. He is a servant and I am a warrior. Which means I have no blood."
Seeing Red took a step back and then charged aimlessly. He jabbed at Ciel's or Awamna's head. He simply tilted his head to the right and dodged. Seeing red then swung his fist horizontally towards the young demon, who simply ducked. Then when he was inside his range he punched him in the stomach knocking him back. The half dead man lumbered to his feet, but the butler paid him no mind.
"Ciel is that really you?" Lizzy asked as her butler was helping her up. Awamna reached into his pocket got a little bag. He poured a little bit of blue sand into his hand and blew it in her face before she could protest. Slowly her eyes began to close and the world spun.

Ciel's POV
"She almost found us out Sebastian" Ciel told his butler as he rose from the ground. Sebastian winced and nodded "It was a good thing I gave you the amnesia spice, she should forget most everything, but she will still be suspicious, and we should try not to let anything jog her memories." Pulling himself completely off the ground, he winced. He waved of Ciel's hand and stood all the way up. "But this Seeing Red character mentioned a gate, and that he would be the one to open it, could there be more trying to open this gate, and will they all be coming after you?"
"And why did he need me for this gate, and he said 'This says I can't kill you so I'll try not to, but that doesn't mean I can't make you bleed.' Someone wrote that, so there will be more. We need to bring Elizabeth back." Ciel turned to his butler. "This is an order bring Lady Elizabeth back to her mansion safely, then come find me."
The butler bowed. Then he picked up Lizzy and ran at an insanely fast speed towards Lizzy's home. Ciel turned, back in his human form to Seeing Red, who was sprawling on the ground barely conscious. Ciel picked him up by his collar. "Now why don't you tell me who you are, and what you want with me." He demanded. Seeing Red gave him a sad smile, unlike his previous insane smiles, this one showed wisdom and sorrow. "No one can be submerged and not drown Ciel, the darkness will swallow you whole, It is only a matter of time." Upon finishing his speech he slumped his head back and shot fire out of his mouth. The fire surrounded everywhere in a dome. And it began slowly closing in. "Your human form is vulnerable. Goodbye Ciel Phantomhive, I am glad I got to take you with me." He smiled and then his head hand limp, dead. Ciel dropped him and looked at the fast approaching fire. He tried to activate his demon form but he couldn't. And he could fell the heat from here.
