YN: Hi everyone! I'm back and cupcake dress free! Haha! Anyway sorry about being gone with no updates and that really short chapter last time. But here is a decent length chapter. Oh! I almost forgot! I DO NOT OWN BLACK BUTLER OR ITS CHARACTERS! THEY BELONG TO THE WONDERFUL YANA TOBOSO! I only own the plot of this story and my OCs. Well onto the story!
Coralynn's POV
When I wake up I'm in the infirmary inside of the manor. I sit up and look around. I look over to my right and see Kai sitting in the chair by the bed I'm occupying. He's slouched over with his head on the edge of the mattress. He looks like a mess. I smile softly and start running my hand through his hair. I silently laugh when he moves his head further onto the bed to get closer to me. He looks so young when he's sleeping. I wonder what happens at his home to make him so tense and too much like an adult around my father's age when he's clearly mine. I sigh and look to my left in hopes of forgetting those thoughts. I see my papa sitting up and reading his book. "Papa," I call to him. He looks up from the book he's reading and looks at me. He sighs in relief and I'm not sure why. "Cora thank god you're awake," he says. "Did it happen again papa?" I inquire. He nods. "Yes but fortunately Kai was with you this time." Papa said.
"Did he leave at all?" I ask. "He hasn't left your side all week except to use the restroom. He eats and sleeps in here Cora. I would strongly suggest that you convince him to go bathe." He tells me. I smile and gently shake Kai's shoulder. Kai slowly wakes up and rubs his eyes.
Kai's POV
I wake up to someone shaking my shoulder. All I want is to stay in my dreams where Cora is awake and safe in my arms. I sit up and rub the sleep from my eyes. I look and see Cora awake and smiling at me. "Morning sleepy head," she says teasingly. "Y-you're awake… This isn't a dream right?" I'm hesitant and afraid of it being an illusion. "Yes. I'm really awake Kai," she says warmly. I grasp her hand off my head and hold close. "Thank the gods." I say relieved. I haven't left her side for anything except for the restroom. I was right back by her side as soon as I was done though. "I was terrified." I admit softly. She squeezes my hand gently and scoots over. I watch and am immediately surprised when she pats the empty space next to her. I climb onto the bed and sit next to her. "Go ahead and lie down and get some more sleep. I know from experience that those chairs aren't the most comfortable things in the world to sleep in." She says. "I will if you lay down with me." I tell her. She smiles and nods. I smile gratefully and scoot down. She does the same and I scoot down further and lay my head on her stomach. I wrap my arms around her middle and drift off to sleep.
Sebastian's POV
I watch the two teenagers and smile. I remember when Ciel was like that when he first realized his feelings for me. I come back from my musings about the past to see Kai on the bed next Cora asleep. Cora herself is falling asleep as well. Just as she falls back to sleep, Ciel walks into the room to see them asleep in the same bed. I wave him over to me so he won't wake them up. He walks over and sits on the edge of my bed. "She woke up and told him it was okay." I tell him. "as long as she's happy, I'm happy Sebastian. I didn't find anything in the trees though. Why is this happening to her?" Ciel asks worried. I pull him to me and hold him close. "I don't know koishi but we'll figure it out." I tell him softly. I feel him bury his face into my chest and I subconsciously start stroking his hair to calm him. I feel him relax and hear his breathing even out. I look down at my sleeping husband and kiss the top of his head. "Mei-Rin," I call to her softly. She comes in. "Yes Sebastian?" she questions. "Watch over the manor. Do not let anyone whom isn't allowed into the manor in." I tell her. She nods and goes back to her post. I stay here in the infirmary and watch over my small family. While they're sleeping, I'm thinking. I need to figure out why Coralynn keeps having those fainting spells when she goes near the trees. Even though I keep my calm and collected mask on, I'm worried sick. I look over at my daughter and watch them for a while. I can tell, even though they barely know each other and they just met, that they're falling in love with each other. Something Ciel and I always wanted and hoped for Coralynn was true love. This small family, my family, has changed me in ways I never could have imagined before. I'm finally at peace and I'm truly happy. As I was thinking, I hadn't realized that Ciel had awoken and had been watching me. "What are you thinking about Sebastian?" He asks. When we married we agreed not to lie to each other. "Coralynn's fainting spells and that maybe my father might be behind them…" I tell him. "Why do you think he's behind them? I don't understand. You told me he adores her." Ciel says. "He does. There is a demon spell that can change a human into a demon. I think that's what he's doing." I explain. He's quiet for a few minutes. "We have to know for sure before we tell her." He says. I nod agreeing with him.
I sigh and call for my father. As usual he shows up in a cloud of smoke. "Hello father." I say. "My child, its been far too long." My father says. "Not long enough in my opinion. However we need questions answered." I state. He sits down and nods at us. "Coralynn has been having fainting spells whenever she goes near the trees. Are you the one behind this?" I bluntly ask. "Why in hell would I do that to my only granddaughter?" He asks. "To turn her into a demon." I say. "I'm happy the way she is." My father says. "Can you at least help us figure out why it's happening" I ask. "Of course. But why didn't you come to me when it first happened?" He demanded. "It's my family." I nearly yelled. "Sebastian if you keep this up, you're going to wake them." Ciel says calmly. I take a deep breath and nod. "I didn't think to contact you." I tell my father. "I see. Well, it's really quite simple. She's going through puberty." My father says. Ciel and I look at him like he's crazy. "We know. She started bleeding five years ago." Ciel replied.
"Not human puberty. Demon puberty." Father says. "What? how is this possible?" I demand. "My child she made it happen when she chose to stay with you and Ciel." My father explains. "She did this to herself? My daughter…" Ciel asks. My father merely nods his head. Ciel and I look at each other. "We won't lose her now." I say softly. I hold Ciel against me. "Thank you father." I say gratefully. When I look up, he's gone. But at least we have some answers now.
*TIME SKIP*
Coralynn's POV
After a week in the infirmary I was allowed to finally leave. Unfortunately that didn't mean I could leave the manor. However father said that Kai and I could have our first date here at the manor. We decided to have a small ball. So now I'm in my room trying to find a dress for tonight's ball. "Mei-Rin I don't know what to wear! Help me pick something out! Please!" I plead. She sighs and goes over to my wardrobe. She looks through it for a few minutes before pulling out a deep purple dress that ends at mid-calf. "I love it! It's perfect!" I say happily. She smiles and helps me get ready. I can't wait to dance all night. Father said he'll stop working for a bit to come and dance! Mother is supposed to be coming too! Maybe we can do our old dance we did as a family like we used to do. Only now we have new family to add. That would be wonderful.
YN: And scene. Haha. Well that's that chapter! I hope you all stay tuned in. Next chapter will be about the ball and the guys getting ready. R&R!
