I was very excited with the feed back this time around and thank you all I really appreciated it. I thought it was kinda neat especially when one of you started to guess about the twins, which I'm sure that you guys are starting to tell question as well. Don't worry though you will find that out later.
It was finally the day of the party and now I was being put into a constricting corset. The simple baby blue dress from before has finally became a full ballgown with white rose accents on the back of the dress, black ribbons, puffed off the shoulder sleeves, laced gloves, and a layered underskirt. As usual my extensions were added and was put in an up do addorned by jeweled pins.
Sebastian sighed as he deemed the damn thing tight enough and smiled at me in the mirror. " You look lovely tonight Ciel. The goes wonderfully with your eyes Ciel." He whispered in my ear. I leaned back to him and looked at the two of us. Sebastian was more simple, with a blue suit with black trimmings, black trousers and white gloves.
" Shut up you." I grumbled looking at myself more closely. I couldn't find anything that made me different from before when I was a human, other then the fact that the top of my head reached Sebastian's shoulder.
A knocked notified that someone was coming into the room. The three were dressed up similarly to the two of us only in green. Alice always kept a hand at her side. Before Grell finished her dress she asked him to make a secret pocket in the folds of her dress to keep the book in. He was forced to oblige because of Alan.
" Are you guys ready to go?" Alexander asked fixing his cuffs. We both nodded as we headed out to the carriage. Alice and I climbed in with Alexander as Cian was left outside.
" Aren't you coming inside Cian?" I asked the toddler.
" Uh uh. Don wanna." He said as he wrapped himself in a black cloak. I looked towards his older siblings as they sighed.
" We've stopped trying to get him in the carriage. Just let him sit up top with you Sebastian he will be fine." Alice instructed. Sebastian nodded as he closed the door behind him.
After a two hour ride the manor we reached our destination of the party where all were in festive moods. Sebastian dropped the four of us off as he went to go park the carriage. When he came back we all were shown to the main ballroom where we were announced once again as family Michealis.
" Ciel over here!" Elizabeth called from one side of the room. It looks as if she made her own designer go the whole nine yards with her family. I thought they looked a little too over dressed.
" Oh my gosh how is it that you always have the most lavishing of dresses cousin!" Elizabeth whined. " Ever since we were still children you always wore the best." she commented as we were closer to them. I looked towards Sebastian in confusion he gave a light shrug.
" W-why thank you Elizabeth?" I said with slight question.
" How gorgeous your children become each and every time I see them. I wouldn't be surprised if Alice would have many suitors once the time comes." Elizabeth said as we looked towards the six cousins. Alex hovered over his sister as she was teased by their cousin. Soon the six left to find others their own age.
" I wouldn't be surprised if Alex scared them off though." she laughed.
" Of course." I said.
" Oh my Lady Michealis how nice to see you." a female voice called out. I looked towards who it was and see the Durlanes approach our group.
" Why hello. Lady Durlane. " I say in a soft tone. The two are dressed in white and gold attire.
" How lovely the two of you are this evening Lady Williams, Lady Michealis." She complimented. The men seemed to start their own conversation with one another about the companies.
"Thank you. Lady Durlane. You look wonderful as well." Elizabeth said complimenting back.
" Isn't this a wonderful gala. The host of the party has been planning this event for months. " Lady Durlane said.
" Oh then you know the host?" I asked her as she nodded.
" Of course, my sister and her husband have been planning this event for months. They wanted to throw the grandest gala of them all." she informed proudly. She turned towards me and smiled. " On behalf of my sister it's quiet an honor to have you and your family here. I've heard it's rare to have the Michealis' attend these type of gatherings unless it was something business related, your family's, or if the queen insisted. So please enjoy yourselves till the end." She said.
" Of course thank you Lady Durlane." I said.
" Excuse me, my husband and I must go greet others. the host should be coming down later. I'm sure that she'll greet you herself." She said excusing herself as she left.
"She's such a nice woman." Elizabeth complimented. I stayed silent as the party started to peak. The party seemed to be to much high spirits. Usually you'd find at least one or two quarrels here and there. Instead you feel a sickly sweet atmosphere handing around.
"Sebastian I think we need to look for the children." I tell him.
" Yes I think that'd be the best to do right now." Sebastian said. When we were about to move the lights went out as a spotlight was at the center of the staircase.
" Presenting our gracious host of the evening Lord Marius and Lady Catalina Sinclair." the presenter said as two people came out a brown curly haired man and a silvery-blonde haired woman both dressed in yellow.
" Thank you all for coming and I'm sure some of you will be quiet the meal." the man said making everyone look at him strangely.
" Most of all we'd like to thank the Michealis for finally bringing in our most important ingredient." the woman laughed. " Now my dearest go ahead and eat till your hearts desires." she said as black creatures fell down from the second floor. They all grabbed a person and started to devour them. All the people started to panic and ran in chaos trying to get through the doors.
" Sebastian we have to hurry." I said as we both went around looking for the three.
" Sebastian, Ciel!" A voice called out I looked over to see Alexander coming towards us. " Have you seen my sister or my little brother." he panted. We shook our heads.
" I'm sorry Alexander but we haven't see the two." Sebastian answered. we started to look again and saw Alice in a tattered dress defending herself with what seemed like bladed fans. Alex quickly joined his sister and helped her eliminate the things trying to attack her. We approached once they finished off the last one.
" What were those things?" I asked. Alex was examining his sister for any wounds.
" They were imps. Those things tried to eat me." She growled before her eyes widened. " I lost Cian." She whispered.
" What you lost Cian?" Her brother questioned. She looked at him with panic in her eyes. Alex's head shot up and looked at her as she looked back.
" I'm sorry Alex we got separated when the humans started freaking out and trying to get to the exits. I'm so sorry!" She apologized. Alexander shook his head.
" This isn't time to panic Alice we have to look for him quick. Sebastian, Ciel look in the left wing. Alice you and I have to look in the right. He might be hiding somewhere inside the house." Alex said taking his sister's hand and dashed towards the right wing. Sebastian and I did as told and looked through every room for Cian only to come up with nothing. We met the twins again in the ballroom.
" Did you find him?" Alice asked with worry in her eyes. I shook my head.
" Where could that four year old be!" Alex growled in frustration. Someone giggled as we were suddenly surrounded by imps. This was starting to test my patience.
" You looking for this?" the voice mocked. We looked towards the center of the staircase to see Charlene holding Cian by the wrist as he was thrashing about trying to make her let go.
" Lemme go you old Witch!" He said trying to kick her.
" Well that's not a nice thing to say for a young one. " she said to his face with a smirk.
" Alex, Alice, Daddy, Mommy help me!" Cian cried frantically looking at us. I felt anger rise in my chest.
"What do you want from us!" I demanded. She looked down at me with a pitying look.
" How wonderful we're getting somewhere. My how weak you look right now Lady Michealis. It's as if all of your powers aren't even there, but oh well this'll be easier for me. " She said. " I want the book." She demanded shaking the boy harshly as he yelped. Alice tried to lung at her but was confronted by one of the grunts. Alexander immediately pulled the thing off his sister and let her up again.
" You can't have my father's book!" Alice answered to the woman.
" Well which is it that you want then fledgling? Your cute little brother or your father's book?" She said mockingly. Alice clenched her hands knowing this was a hard decision to make. "You're going to have to hurry now young one I do get impatient and I'd hate to know what would happen to this child if I suddenly give him to my minions." She laughed putting Cian over the edge as a large group of demonic men were underneath him jumping and trying to reach the boy making him cry out. Alex growled seeing his brother in trouble.
"Alex do I give them the book?" she said looking at her brother for help. He looked towards his brother and the book for a minute and hung his head.
" We have to give them the book if we want Cian. " He said with clenched teeth. He went to Alice's side and took the book out of her pocket.
" What are you doing Alexander!" Sebastian asked grabbing the boy's wrist.
" Giving them the book. I need my brother. " He said with defeat in his voice. Alice nodded towards he brother letting him know she backed him up in the decision he was about to make.
" But why?" Sebastian asked. Alexander looked him in the eye.
" Because I know even though this could destroy the balance between good and evil. My parents would never forgive me if anything happened to that child." Alexander said pointing to the red eyed four year old. Sebastian slowly let his arm go letting him make his decision.
" Here's your book you evil bitch." Alexander said holding the book out for them to take. She smiled victoriously towards us as she motioned her husband to get the book from Alexander.
" Oh you give up that easily just for this useless thing?" Charlene scoffed shaking Cian and nearly dropping him to her goons. Cian yelped again in fear of being eaten.
" SEBASTIAN!" two voices rang out. Up on the top of the two balconies two dark figures were standing on the railings on the sides above us. You could see the anger in both of the figures glowing red eyes. Both figures jumped and landed right in front of me and Sebastian. One was taller then the other. Both clad in black and high heeled shoes. From the back the taller one was wearing skin tight leather pants, his boots only reached mid-calf buckled at the sides and a tattered trench coat. The other wore thigh high boots that laced up, short shorts, suspenders, a tight fit off the shoulders long sleeve laced top that reached the hem of his shorts and elbow length fingerless gloves. Both had weapons strapped to their sides the taller a sword and the other a leather whip.
" How dare take our offspring you lower class whore." the taller one's voice bit in a familiar voice. I looked over to Sebastian and see the shocked look on his face.
" For this it seems we have to destroy you and your coven." I heard my voice say in a threatening tone. The person looks back at me and I see a beautiful face looking at me with mischievous eyes. We both lock eyes and I only see myself only older and wiser staring back at me.
" It's nice to see you again Ciel." the person said in a soft tone. I hear the twins gasp out.
" Papa, Momma."
Oh thank goodness I'm finally done with this chapter. It took me a while to come up with this one. I actually surprised myself when I let the kids actual parents come back in this chapter. I was originally planning to add them later, but oh well. I wonder what's gonna happen to Cian? Oh well your going to have to find out in the next chapter.
