Lillian

I gasped my hand clamping over my mouth. My eyes could only see the tortured bodies of countless young girls, all dressed in once beautiful ball gown. They were lucky, he hadn't kept them, he didn't make them his slave. My body trembled, of course he didn't know where I am so I'm safe for now ...right? Eventually he would track me, I had reverted, he would find. He would kill everyone here, and take me. Even if I left now, he would still check here and kill them. I know this, I had slipped once in the past and people dear to both Sarah and I were murdered. That was once just once. I could still see those cerulean eyes peering up at me, those tiny hands so restless. One slip up...

"Lillian answer me!" A hand struck my face. I stared stunned at the boy, only seeing those big blue eyes.

"Little sapphire..." whispered then swiftly walked out of the room.

I started dinner in a daze, not finding the peace I usually do in the kitchen. My mind was preoccupied with sadness. Little sapphire, we had all loved him the moment we knew of his existence. Sister's face had been priceless when she learned of her pregnancy. Nick had been so happy, he got the son he always wanted.

I jumped and looked up at a smiling Sebastian.

"You seem distracted." He said as he took a pan out of the oven for me.

I heard a presence outside of the manor. I sent a silent message to the man outside the manor.

"I'm going out,"I said as I took off my apron,"I will be back before dawn."

"What makes you think I will allow that?" Sebastian asked standing closely to me and in my way.

"I was not asking for your permission." I stated simply, looking him in the eyes. He moved closer to me, obviously trying to intimidate me.

"Whether or not you are asking for my permission is irrelevant. You need my permission."

"I beg to differ."

"You beg? How pathetic." He smirked. Part of me wanted rip out his throat. Another part of me wanted to do unlady like things to him. I sensed his over confidence;he was sure he could thwart any attempt I made at leaving. I laughed and moved closer to him my chest pressed against him. With a feral growl, I licked his jaw line.

Sebastian POV

Was she trying to seduce me? How pathetic, I thought her better than such feeble attempts at persuasion. I stared down into he now lavender gaze, looking for some hidden resolve. Looking into those eyes, I saw the first sign of a change. Gold bled into purple quickly dominating her iris. A shiver shook through her body and with one more growl she was gone.

Trouble, women like her are always trouble.

Lillian POV

The alley I stood in was dark damp. The humid air did nothing to stifle the wetness of the place. I felt alone a desolate. I was scared, shaking slightly in my long black trench coat. It isn't cold...I just wanted the covering

"So you've finally decided to show yourself, oh elusive one."

"Edgar, why were you sneaking out side of my master's manor," I asked getting right to the point.

"For you, your highness. I can hardly believe you have a master now."

"No your place," I snapped. He knelt before and bowed his head.

"My apologies, your highness."

"T-tell Amun to go...to...to leave me alone" I spoke with my eyes closed, "Leave and tell him now" authority leaked into my voice.

"Ah but his highness said to bring you back...dead or alive." Edgar stood, he was about 6'9 and muscular his ivory skin was slightly flushed meaning he had just fed. Edgar tried to throw me over his shoulder. I used that momentum to continue to propel over his shoulder. My hands hit the warm damp stone and I hooked my legs under Edgar's arms. With a sharp thrust ,like that which one does in a back flip, I brought him down hard on his head. He fell hard on his back. I stood over his body for a moment then brought my knee down hard on his chest. A sharp crack like splitting marble pierced the night.

"Deliver my message,"I growled.

Anger made me merciless, uncaring.

"Never, I work for his highness the king Amun." He spit in my face, a mixture of venom and his blood. The venom burned my eyes. I wiped my face in disgust. Such disrespect can not go unpunished.

"Looks like Amun's guard aren't too durable. It is a pity really It sucks out all the fun,l I sat cross-legged on his chest.

"Tell me Edgar...What is Amun's plan for catching me?" I asked pleasantly.

"I won't tell you a damned thing you whore." He yelled at me.

I sighed,"Is the name calling really necessary?"

"I won't tell you anything!"

"Oh Edgar! Have you forgotten about my little gift?" I raised my left hand and flexed my fingers before taking off the glove.

"No don't!" He shook his head. I put my hand lovingly on his face, then watched as the blood fell from his tear ducts and his body shook as I got my information.

"Thank you Edgar, pleasure doing business." I reached into the jacket of my coat and pulled out a pure silver fork. Edgar's eyes widened.

"No, no! Please! Have mercy!"

"You would never grant me the same thing. You work for Amun he knows no mercy, so neither. Do. I! " I plunged the fork in to his forehead,"Where has his highness gotten you now?" I asked just before his heart stopped. His body fell to ashes and scattered in the unseasonably cool wind.

"Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posies. Ashes, ashes we all fall down." I sung as I walked away from the alley, away from my past, and back to Bocchan. The sung came from my throat without my consent and I sung it all the way home
