Today was the day, I was going to get out of the house for a small party in Celabration for the holidays, I went over to my closet and looked over the dresses, "Your not going to get away with trousers and vests, Lady Neveah"Sebastian said making me jump. "How many time do I have to say wear a bell!"I said rolling my eyes at him, He looked impeccable as usual, He smirked "I am not a cat."He answered before pushing me to sit down on the bed.
I crossed my arms over my chest thankful that I still had my night clothes on, "This one should do"He said pulling out that pink frilly one that needed to burn, It still needed to burn "Oh no way, Sebastain!"I said "It looks like an over grown toddler dress!"I stood up and pushed Sebastian and that awful dress out of my way "Nope, nope, nope, nope ,nope" I said as I flicked through the dresses "Yuck!"I said as I found a neon orange one, That one I threw out of the closet.
Soon I found a nice floor length dress with Navy, White and Black in the dress, It was a scoop neck where there was elaborte beading, I pulled out out the the closet and laid it on to the bed,I smiled as I felt the nice fabric "You can leave me Sebastian."I said "I shall be by the door."He told me, I felt a tingle of a feeling I could quite place, I didn't want him to see my tattoo.
Something about that tattoo wasn't right it was scared by something more than a simple ink, I made sure to tighten my corset before I found that I couldn't get it tight enough "Dang it."I mutter as I fought to get it tight around my waist, frowning I slipped into my petticoat and bit the bullet so to speak "Sebastian I need your help"I said.
Sebastian walked in with that mocking smirk "Oh stop it, Tigten my corset for me."I growled.
Ciel stood there waiting on Neveah, His eyes where on the top of the stairs as he waited, Sebastian told him that she would be ready by now unless he... No Sebastian wouldn't do that. He cleared his thoughts as he saw the demonic Butler come down before a woman stepped out, Her hair was done up to look like cascading river of red, Her blue eyes where softened by the make-up, She had a light blush on her cheeks and her lips had a natural color to them, She was wearing a Navy choker with a black jewel in the center.
Her dress had a white underneath with and over lay of Black and Navy, It was so long that it covered her shoes, and she had pure white elbow high gloves "Well?"She asked with a small smile, Ciel nodded Neveah walked down carefully her gloved hand was on the banister as she walked down. Ciel offered his arm as she smiled and took it, and they left for the party.
Daemon looked at the shining mansion alive with humans in all sorts of emotions, He looked up at the sky "Forgive me Father"He muttered...
It was a sea of people, and I felt a little overwhelmed by the people coming up to me and greeting me, Right now I was with Lizzie and her maid while Sebasatian and Ciel ran off somewhere " There are so many people"I said Lizzie nodded "Yes, I love it... What are you going to get your brother for Christmas?"She asked I looked over at the blonde and I noticed a hint of worry, "Nothing as good as what you could get him Lizzie"I assured her.
She smiled "I bet you are going to find something so easily too! Oh I just wish I could ,He is so hard to buy for."She rocked back and forth and I suddenly wished I could have half of her energy, "He will enjoy anything you get him."I told her, Lizzie looked even more happier cause she pulled me into hug "Oh Thank you Lady Neveah!" I patted the girls shoulder and pulled away "Neveah please Lizzie"I said She nodded "Of course"She said brightly, I wondered if Sebastian got the new stove? .
Someone caught my eye, and every thought of Sebastian left me. A man...
He had long raven hair that was elegantly tied by a single red cord, He was wearing all black and in this sea of color looked like an ink stain, A very beautiful one, He looked at me and his eyes shook me a deep violet, My heart raced as he came closer to me. At first I thought he was just going to walk by me but when he got closer I knew it me he wanted.
Lizzie was saying something but I couldn't catch what she was saying, How could I? This man in front of me was as beautiful as an Angel "Lady Neveah Phantomhive."The man addressed me, Lizzie fell silent as she noticed also how catching he was "Yes?"I asked my voice bowed his hand out stretched to me "May I have this dance?"He asked his voice was deep but mesmerizing, "You may"I said my glove hand slipped into his black one.
He puled me into the dance floor and he pulled me into his chest, He twirled me around the dance floor and I couldn't help but stare at the man.
"Who is that dancing with Neveah?"Ciel asked his fiance, Who was blushing at the man and was just as entranced over him "I don't know Ciel"She replied, Then Ciel turned to his butler that was staring at the man too, For a moment he almost thought that Sebastian was entranced of the man like most of the women in the area. Then he saw the red in the Butlers eyes and the clenched hands, Ciel smirked now this was interesting...
"My lady I do think we are drawing a crowd"He said to me I laughed "Yes we are"I said, His smiled too his eyes closing and his head cocked to one side, My breath left me for a moment, My back started to itch really bad it made me wiggle a little "Are you alright Lady Phantionhive"He asked he his beautiful eyes opened and he looked down at me.
I nodded "I am fine, Neveah please."I said carefully selecting my words not wanting to seem like a improper lady, "Call me Daemon."He said giving me a wink, I pushed down the giggle that threatened to spill over, "Daemon"I said softly "Yes Neveah?"He replied, I blushed. He hand that was on the small of my back rose a little and I shivered as we got closer together "I can see why he is obsessed with you" He muttered out loud I looked up at him "Who?"I asked His pupils dilated and he looked shocked for a moment ,a brief flash before he got his composure back.
"That man over there"He gestured to a man who was not as beautiful as him, "I don't know him."I said softly as the song ended, For a moment I though he was going to walk away but he took my hand "Shall we go somewhere more private?"He asked I nodded He guided me through the dancers and the people.
Ciel's eyes narrowed at the man who was pulling Neveah away, Why was she fallowing him like a puppy? Than he heard Lizzie sigh "So romantic"She sighed, A flare of jealousy hit the young Master and he stepped in front of Lizzie "May I have this dance?"He asked her, Lizzie snapped out of it "Yes Ciel!"She cried pulling him into a hug.
Sebastian's eyes glowed a faint red as he tried to not fallow Neveah and that man...
Daemon led me away from everyone except a few people that was standing outside in a garden that was covered in snow, I kept looking up at Daemon who looked calm and pleasant, he looked down at me and our eyes met, My heart thudded painfully against my chest and I was thankful that I was wearing gloves because my palms is sweating.
We where surrounded by snow covered bushes probably a rose garden for spring, I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was surrounded by roses, Blood red roses and it was a spring morning instead of night, "Forgive me for changing the scenery."Stated Daemon who was now standing behind me, I turned around at a vicious slow pace, It was like I was wading through water instead of air.
He stood there at ease ,a rose in his hand ,and he brought it to his nose to inhaled the sent "I always hated Winter, Demon months."He stated, I felt slightly panicked "What did you do to me?"I asked him, Daemon let out a humorless laugh "I would think you would be famiar with a dream state Neveah."He said I frowned "I know dreams but this is not a dream."I said, Daemon looked up from the rose and cocked his head to the side "Is it?"He asked me.
I felt a cold chill go through me..
Sebastian looked around, He could hear a vibration of something very familiar, He stood there watching as his master danced around with Lizzie, He couldn't stand it anymore he had to find Neveah.
She was becoming a problem..
"You always where so sweet, and truthful...Don't you ever wonder why you can't lie?"Daemon asked me he was able to move around without the same trouble as me, My heart was now pacing for another reason, I flinched as I felt his fingers on my tattoo " Forgive me father but I cannot see her tainted by such filth, Sounds like him"Daemon drawled, He didn't sound like him or it, His voice was to deep "You can hear it too?"I asked almost meekly.
Daemon stepped in front of me and nodded "I can hear it, Actually it is strong enough even a human could hear it." I tensed why was I surprised that he wasn't human this man has placed me in a dream! "Wait...When was I in a dream state?"I asked him, Daemon smiled again but this time it didn't have the same effect it had on me before. "Always have been, Since you where two years of age..".
I couldn't remember anything...
Could that be a reason?
"Ah yes that is right, They separated those memories not wanting you to get any ideas or lord forbid suicide...I think you have sinned enough"Daemon said in amusement. My heart froze over "What did I do?"I asked him ,He waved his hand as if brushing away a nat "Nothing real bad an accident really.. a very ironic one". He tucked a strand of hair behind me ear "Unfortunately I will have to cut this short, Your destiny is getting closer,"He said like it was some joke that I couldn't possibly get without being there.
His thumb glided back and forth over my cheek, And he seemed to be thinking hard about something " I cannot protect you, If I could, I would..." I tried to move my head away but it was like going through water, He smiled again, Eyes closed, head cocked to the side. "Now Neveah, I am not the one you have to fear."He said then he opened his eyes and he looked down at me "Forgive me, this will hurt"He said my eyes widened as I tried to move but it was so hard, He grabbed my hand, I yanked and pulled to escape.
His eyes glowed a light violet as he pulled off my glove and laid the rose in my palm, He circled my fingers around the rose stem until the thorns where inbeded tightly into my skin. My blood was sliding down my arm and onto the ground and the dress. I could feel my tears as I still tired to get away "You will be sealed to someone who will be able to protect you, You will know when you have met your protector."Daemon said as he let go of my hand and I started to fall when I landed on the ground Daemon knelt down by my side.
He brushed a stray tear from my cheek and brought it to his mouth "Still pure"He muttered "Goodbye Neveah Phantomhive, We will be in touch."He said standing up and giving me a nod before disappearing in a swirl of rose petals. I laid there the light was so bright, I closed my eyes...
Sebastian found Neveah in the snow in a ring of rose bushes, Her eye where closed and her cheeks where stained with tears, Sebastian knelt beside her and looked her over, He didn't see any signs that she had been forced into anything He noticed in her hand was a single pure black feather...
