Final Chapter (Slight gore warning)
Elena winced in pain as her wound continued to bleed, she ignored it and moves on. She was set on finding Ciel and Sebastian. Why exactly was a mystery to all three of them. The girl thought about all of the experiences she had while living with the people she now considered friends. Elena frowned when she thought of that word, 'friends'.
'Something Ciel doesn't understand..'
'He does take advantage of anyone who's nice to him.' Jumping at the new voice, Elena looked around, eyes locking onto Pluto. 'I totally forgot that you had mind-talk powers. Can anyone else hear you?' Pluto answered,'No. Just you. But that's not important, what's bothering you?'
Slumping slightly Elena said out loud,"I'm just sorta conflicted you know, I would go to the mansion and help. But they would have to kill me, I'd rather go find Ciel and try to help him. I don't wanna be known as a pawn, I wanna be known as a friend." Pluto and Drocell both stayed quiet, knowing that she just needed time to think.
The rest of the run was quiet.
The trio landed on a small boat that Sebastian had somehow gotten, Elena stumbled before sitting down. Ciel just looked at her in slight shock, before grimacing slightly and holding his side. Looking to the side Ciel stayed quiet as they passed under a large bridge. Drocell broke the silence,"Where are we going?" Sebastian answered,"Here in England there are seven bridges named 'Devils bridges', a so called legend says that it was made by demons. In contrast, the Tower bridge is a holy bridge, which I surmise that the angel instructed Her Majesty to build."
The group moved closer, and saw millions of faces protruding from the wall. Elena turned away, slightly disgusted and slightly cold. Ciel blurted out,"This is meant to be a holy bridge?" Sebastian said,"Sometimes holiness can be beastlier than evil," he turned to the group,"please stay here."
Ciel yelled,"I want to go too!" Sebastian simply continued to tie up the boat," To put it simply: you would drag me down." Ciel huffed and Elena said,"With all of these dead people in the walls, do you really think we're safe?"
Sebastian gave in and started to climb up the long ladder, carrying an injured Ciel. Pluto carried a deep-in-thought Elena, Drocell following behind. The girl simply thought about how weird this situation was, and how in the world she was going to get home. The thought had only come to her then. Her thought were killed by the sound of Ash's insane rambling as they reached the top.
Pluto sat Elena down as Ciel confronted Ash, and he ordered Sebastian to kill the demented angel. She sighed as the usual battle ensued, until a ridiculous amount of weird black soul things wrapped around Sebastian. It was weird, but somehow effective...
Ash/Angela cooed as the souls swam around them,"This feels so nice...They're so warm and clammy." Sebastian sneered,"An angel wrapped in impurity. How the mighty have fallen."
Ash answered,"The pleasures of uncleanliness are unpleasant and unbearable to me," he paused and threw feathers at Sebastian,"Their despair of uncleanliness gives me power." Elena tuned out to notice that a bunch of the black soul things were starting to crowd around her. She snorted and said,"You ain't gonna find any despair here buddy, back off!"
Ash/Angela ignored her and walked forward,"I'm getting stronger and stronger. Oh, what to do?" Angela walked to Sebastian,"I still haven't given up on you, you know?"
"I don't go for women with disgusting habits such as yours." The female angel continued to advance,"If you do not wish for me to remain in this female form.." She suddenly changed into Ash, and Elena shivered at the weirdness that the angel emitted.
Before Ash could even open his mouth, Elena interrupted,"JUST FIGHT! NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR CREEPY MONOLOGUE!" Ciel looked at her as if she was crazy, and Ash threw up his sword. A blinding light covered the metal.
Ash laughed maniacally,"Here me demon: You're chest shall be sheath to my sword!" He lunged at Sebastian, ripping the demons arm off with his sword. Ciel and Elena watched with shock at the scene. Pluto winced slightly, but was preoccupied because Drocell had suddenly disappeared.

Drocell calmly ran towards the city, ignoring the people below, and avoiding the fires. He finally spotted Grell and Undertaker, and landed, crushing Grell's face in the process. Undertaker asked,"I know you, you travel with that girl. What are you doing here?"
"Souls are being messed with. I know what the problem is, and I'm sure you know as well." Grell somehow got up and screamed angrily,"Wait a second, you're not even a shinigami! How come you know so much?!" Drocell stared at him and suddenly turned away in a childish manner,"I just do." He and Grell started a silent stare battle before William interrupted with a cough.
Undertaker took notice to Drocells show of emotion before saying,"Yes, an angel seems to be tampering with the souls correct?" Drocell nodded and the old shinigami continued,"And I'm guessing that the demon is dealing with he situation. William could you help with the souls?"
William mumbled something about working overtime for free before going off to collect souls, a bunch of other shinigamis following.

Sebastian held his right side to try and stop the bleeding. Angela's voice said, This pain is a blessing, demon. The zenith can only be enjoyed by the first enduring searing pain." Ash laughed and lunged at Sebastian, who was temporarily distracted by Ciel. "How dare you take your eyes off of me in the midst our glorious battle?!" Ash raised his sword, but was interrupted by the dark souls suddenly disappearing.
Elena looked with wonder as the black things surrounding her turned white and disappeared. Pluto finally figured out what was going on and silently thanking the shinigamis for their effort.
Sebastian smirked and said,"Should I make my counter attack?" Ash smirked and said,"As much as I wanted to play with you more." He lifted up a whistle and blew on it. Elena raised her hand,"Dude, the dogs mine now Lol. How did you not notice me holding him all this time?"
Ash turned and looked at the girl, along with the small puppy that seemed to be laughing at him. He shuddered uncontrollably and repeated,"Useless..useless.. useless.. They're all useless!" He started to lunge, and Sebastian raced to save Ciel. Ash/Angela flew towards Ciel, who was caught and moved by Sebastian, while Elena simply jumped out of the way. She ran frantically while holding Pluto, and finally landed near Sebastian and Ciel. Sebastian told both to close their eyes, and they did with little retort.
Pluto turned into his human form and watched as Sebastian turned into his true form. Ash's face turned into one of pure horror as he witnessed the butler turn into a demon. ((What I saw: heels, red eyes, sharp teeth and black wings. What he saw: Something scary?)) Sebastian smirked and started to attack the fallen angel, the gruesome sounds heard by everyone near the scene.
Elena cringed slightly and sat up, eyes still closed she tried to imagine what was going on. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of breaking metal and the feeling of falling. She started to slide down uncontrollably fast and Elena couldn't help but scream as she felt horrible pain in her side.
Suddenly it felt as if the world was tipping to the side. Elena was just hanging in mid air, mind in panic and body in pain. Sebastian started to count down, and Ash's screams of agony were heard. The familiar sound of 'London's Bridge' playing in the background. As he finally reached ten and killed Ash, Ciel lost his grip on the ledge. Elena slid off of whatever had impaled her, both falling down to the water below.
Sebastian jumped after Ciel, and Pluto went for Elena. Both for their own reasons.
Laying in a gondola, Elena fought hard to stay conscious. She had fallen onto a metal pole, and even though the pole itself was gone, the bleeding wouldn't stop. Ciel was just exhausted and hurt, and the ride was pretty much silent as they rode to an island.
Soma and Agni gave out curry bread to the people who were still recovering from the fire.
The queen started a new agenda that included rebuilding and recovering from the fire. And she looked as old as she was now.
Elizabeth was still trying to find out what happened to her best friend and fiance. Paula cheered her up, but it didn't kill off the uneasy feeling she had.
-
Ciel woke up and asked,"Where are we?" Sebastian asked him,"Do you really want to know?" He observed his surroundings, for the first time noticing Elena. He opened his mouth to say something rude, but closed it as soon as he saw the state she was in.
The poor girl looked to be in extreme pain, her skin almost as pale as Sebastian's in her sickness. A large gash in her side, and blood dripping from the dress she wore. Pluto was in puppy form, trying to comfort the barely conscious girl.
Ciel looked into the water to see his cinematic records. He was startled when he heard Elena speak, voice cracked and broken. "Memories ~ How nice, it's sorta cool to see them right?" Ciel looked at her before answering,"I guess so.."
"Listen, you may think otherwise, but you lived your life pretty well. Sure, you were mean, snobby, and spoiled. But what does that matter? You taught Soma good life lessons, saved the queen from herself, made Lizzy happy, and gave the trouble trio a place to live. Overall I think you did well buddy." Ciel looked at the usually loud girl as she talked.
"Now don't take this the wrong way, you made a promise to Sebastian and I expect you to keep it. So give him your soul 'kay? As for me, I don't know what I'm gonna do.." She stopped and looked into the water, as if reviewing all of the events passing by.
They finally reached the island and Sebastian set Ciel down in a bench made of aged stone. Elena sat behind both, her hearing turning into a silent buzz and her eyes slowly closing. Quite honestly she welcomed the darkness that came to her.
