Thank you all so much for reading and for the reviews. I loved the reactions from the last chapter and thank you for adding Who are We in your favorites and in your alerts I hope you all enjoy it until it's very end. Hopefully it won't be to soon either.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroshitsuji if I did there would have already been three yaoi couples.
As soon as the children's friends left the mansion everyone was in cellar looking at the bodies of the men that were outside in the forest. All three weren't phased to see the bodies on the ground and were examining them all closely.
" If you didn't spot them I'm sure they would have killed half of our guest. It's a bit odd though that I wasn't able to spot them myself before our little party began." Alexander sighed.
"They must have arrived then during the party and you were to distracted to pay attention Alexander. Don't be so down about it no one was hurt." Alice reminded her twin as she held his hand comfortingly. Cian and Sebastian weren't paying attention as they took a closer look at the bodies both poking around at them. Both stood up straight with scrunched up faces.
" How odd." Cian commented getting both of his siblings attentions.
" All of these men are the lowest level of demons, imps." Sebastian commented. I looked at him in shock and went over to look at one of the dead men on the ground and sure enough I saw their tell tale pointed tails and small black horns. "They seem to have been brainwashed." Sebastian added. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
" What exactly are you talking about Sebastian?" I asked.
" Well it would seem that it was like what happened to you right before you were turned into a demon Ciel. These imps didn't want to do it willingly but were believed that they could take this mansion's security on." Sebastian said with a pitying glance at the imps.
I shook my head and groaned. " This is gonna go down hill fast." I sighed. " Just get rid of the bodies already Sebastian we have no need of them anymore I doubt that they're able to tell us what we need." I ordered.
" Ah but that is where you are wrong Mr. Phantomhive." Alexander said with a knowing smirk on his face. He and Alice exchanged glances as she nodded and went back upstairs grabbing something before coming back soon after with a book in her hands.
" I thought you lost that?" I looked at her questioningly she shook her head.
" No this isn't the book we're looking for. My father has many book from hell." Alice said making the other two snigger. Sebastian and I looked at them confused and immediately ignoring it.
" All the books have different purposes except for the book that is misplaced..." Alice said trailing off and looked back towards the ones lying dead. " Alexander tie up one of those idiots for me please before I begin." she instructed.
He did as told and propped one of the goons to a sitting position leaning on one of the crates that were down here. Alice flipped through the book until she reached the page she was looking for. Quickly she recited what was in the book as the Faustian mark on her left eye glowed an eerie violet color and started changing to a bright red color as she was near the end. The eyes of the imp that Alexander started to open with its eyes a blood red color as it looked towards Alice with a shocked expression on his face soon turning into a glare at her.
" Filthy child how dare you reawaken me!" He hissed. Alexander back handed the imp across his face.
" Fool how dare you speak to a higher demon class then you!" He growled at the imp.
" How could she a half-ling be higher then me, a full blooded demon. Even you and that youngling over there huddling to that made demon." He spat at us. " And you." he said looking towards Sebastian. " How could a demon like you be with these filth!" He growled in disgust. Sebastian kept quiet glaring darkly towards the imp. Alice stood still with an unchanging facial expression as she looked down on the imp. Alexander smacked him again across his other cheek.
" She and I are the Shadow Geminis." the imp immediately looked at them in fear.
" My lord my lady please do not punish me I am only an ignorant servant. I didn't recognize you in such a form it must have covered your aura when you woke me up. I should have known from the start since only such a great demon as yourself would know such a spell as to raise the dead." He said flattering her in anyway she can. Alexander looked at him with disgust as he took his place next to Alice. Both glanced at each other before looking back down at the imp.
She still looked indifferent from him as she sighed. " Very well I shall think of it if you tell us what we want." She said. He nodded his head vigorously.
" Of course my lady anything you ask." He said looking relieved. She looked towards us and nodded. Sebastian nodded and crouched next to the demon taking his hair in his hand and yanking it.
" Now we have your full participation. I want to know who are you working for and why did you try to break in to this home?" He asked the man coldly. The man looked at him straight in the eyes.
" I came only because my master wanted us to kill anyone on the property and to steal something very important. If we were successful then we and our family's would have a high place in our social class. Why I am here I can not tell you much, but my master told me if I was ever to talk then I were to tell you one thing. 'This isn't the end this will go on for years to come we'll be waiting for you at the gala!' They won't stop till you give them their That is all I can say." the imp blurted out. Alice looked at him with pity in her eyes.
" Oh but I'm sure you can say much more then that?" she questioned. He shook his head.
" No! My master is one of our kind as well and might kill my family if I tell he will know if I speak! " He panicked. Alexander shook his head and sighed towards the imp with pity in his eyes.
" You are foolish if you believed in your masters words that then you are blind. Your master has already wiped your family out! Especially to go against the Michealis family then you are defiantly a fool to believe that you would become higher in rank. " Alexander said.
" It seems that the information you have given us is incomplete." I commented to the imp on the floor he looked up towards Alice with horror in his eyes.
"You're right Ciel it is." She said smiling towards me. "Sebastian." " Alexander." we called. Both nodded as Alice and I headed back upstairs leading Cian away from what the two were about to do to the man before we closed the door we heard the man screamed in pain. Cian tried looking back but was to late as we headed back to the main part of the house heading into the sitting room.
" The same people have been watching over the manor for months now even when my parents were still here. They must be getting desperate to getting what they want. They've never done anything like this yet. " Alice sighed. I nodded as Cian was seated on my lap playing with my hands examining each one carefully.
" Yes they must be in a time crunch right now if they're going to come immediately and try to take people out especially on enemy territory." I said watching the engrossed four year old look at my hands.
" I 'member Momma lettin me sit in his lap an' readin a book while I waited for him ta be done wid his work so we can play together." Cian blurted out putting his little porcelain hands in my palms. I took one of my hands away from him and started petting his ebony hair. I felt the corners of my mouth lift into a smile as I looked down at the little boy in my lap. Sebastian and Alexander watched from the doorway as talked to Cian
" If you want you can grab that book your always reading while we just relax huh?" I tell him as his face brightens up as he disappears for a minute and comes back in bringing in a dark blue and silver book. We all look at him in shock as he hops back into my lap with the book in his hands as he flips through it. Sebastian, Alice and Alex suddenly apporaches us sitting on the same couch eyeing the book in the four year-old's hands.
" Cian?" Alex asked him cautiously. Cian look up towards his brother.
" Ya Alex?"
" What's that book in your hands?"
" I's Papa's book."
" Okay but where'd you get Papa's book Cian?" Alice asked.
" In Momma's library. "
" No, no I mean where'd you get it just now?"
" Momma's office that's where I always read it. He said I could if I wanted."
" Yeah but he told you that if he or Momma was home, not when he's gone Cian." Alexander explained the four year old making him pout. He threw a fit and sulked turning away from the twins.
" Cian please let me see the book." Sebastian asked holding out his hand as Cian simply placed it on his hand. He must have gone through manners with his father. As soon as his left hand touched the book, and just like Alice described, a bright purple Faustian mark appeared on the book. All five of our Faustian marks glowed along with the book making both twins sigh in relief.
" I can't believe he's had it this entire time!" Alice said as Sebastian put the book back down making the marks dull once more. She hugged Cian making him confused by his sister's actions. " Oh thank goodness you were the one with the book." She sighed.
" Yes we're just lucky Cian had it all this time." Alexander said patting the boy on the head. Alice and Alexander both have a certain gleam in their eyes.
"This is probably what those people are after. We're going to have to keep the book on us at all times just to make sure we don't lose it again." Alexander said tucking the book somewhere in his coat. Alice turned towards me and Sebastian.
" I hope that you two can stand being here a bit longer. The night of the gala is a full moon night and to be able to do both we need the book at it's strongest." Alice informed us. We nodded our heads in agreement. Right now I feel to reluctant to be separated from these three and three days can prepare me to leave them.
Okay there you have it the next chapter to Who are We. I have an announcement for the story, since I am going to school next week I need to start getting back to my usual schedule, meaning I won't update as fast as before. Instead of every week updates its every two weeks. But please still review for me cause whenever I see reviews I suddenly have a new idea for the next chapter for the story.
Remember Reviews=Motivation, Motivation= Faster updates.
