Sebastian kept hidden in the shadows. He didn't want to alert the other demon to his presence. He smiled a little. He recognised her. He was hidden in the darkness of a slim alleyway. Whilst she was stood out on the path near the docks. He wondered what someone like her was doing in London. It sounded fishy to him. She had never taken an interest in serving anyone else but herself, she was more of a "Causing Chaos and destruction." Kind of demon, not one who would be someone's lackey. She started to giggle before turning around and looking straight at him. She smiled before pursing her lips. The snow had stopped and had made a thick blanket on the floor."Hello Mr. Michaelis." She softly said. Sebastian rolled his eyes and stepped out of the darkness and into the dimly lit street. She was still in her usual attire of the tight black bodysuit. "Hello Miss Swarm. Or should I say Absinthe." He smiled a little. But he still felt rather sour that he had been seen. "It's a lovely night for a stroll. But if I remember rightly your not one for walking. In fact, your not one to visit the Human realm. Only if it involves you gaining something or you causing Havoc. Which is it this time?" Sebastian softly said. He didn't want to get nasty with her, after all she was a sort of old friend. He had met her once in the deepest bowls of hell.
He could never forget the demon the humans labelled the "Absinthe Fairy." Fore she was the one who had introduced the drink to the human realm as a joke. She watched and laughed in joy as the humans became drunk and disorderly as they drank. But soon she grew bored and left the Human world. "I have decided that Hell is too boring. I have come here to find a willing Master for me to serve. I do get hungry at times." She lied. She bit her lip and shivered a little as the wind blew some snow in between the two of them. Sebastian nodded. But he didn't believe that for a minute. She was up to something but what that thing was remained a mystery to him. She wouldn't be finding a master as she only cared for herself. She couldn't be performing the ancient ritual he had thought of earlier, why would a she want to infuse two souls together? It didn't make much sense to him. Maybe she wasn't up to something but he wasn't taking any chances. She was now on the suspect list. He would have to keep a close eye on her. "Mr. Michaelis. I must be taking my leave right about now, it is a rather cold day and I do not want to stay here another minute. I bid you a less than fond farewell." She sniggered turning around to walk off down the street. Sebastian raised an eyebrow before turning the opposite way to go report back to Ciel.
He turned once more to see the streets were empty and that Absinthe Swarm had disappeared. He didn't expect any less from her, fore she was a demon and a rather cunning one at that. He carried on walking mulling through why she could be here. But each story didn't add up. Meanwhile Absinthe sighed a sigh of relief and stepped away from one of the Alley walls she was up against. She looked over to see Drocell sat very comfortably on a nearby box. The snow on it didn't seem to bother him. "Who was that my dear?" He asked her confused a little to how she knew the demon butler. He watched her shake her head and shiver a little as some snow came fluttering back down from the heavens.
"An old acquaintance. I think he classes us as friends but we are far from that. We met once or twice in the underbelly of hell. Nothing more than a little chat and that is all." She softly cooed. She sneezed a little. Drocell walked over to her. He took of his blue jacket and gave it to her. She at first denied it and insisted he needed it more than she did."But you are Demon and living. You forget I am a doll and cannot feel the warmth of the sun or the coldness of snow. Please take it my love. I could not stand you to become sick." He whispered. Absinthe nodded and put the jacket on. She felt herself warming up soon after putting it on. The jacket was a little bigger than herself, Drocell been taller than her but it only made her warmer.
She leant in and kissed Drocell on his wooden lips. She was dying for them to be flesh like and for them to finally be together. She thought him to be handsome from the moment she saw him, his orange hair glowed like fire and his purple eyes shined like amethyst. Perfect was one of the words she used to describe him. Drocell wrapped his arm around her small waist possessively. He had never cared for many people in life, women been the least of his worries. But now he felt like it was his duty as a gentleman to love and care for Absinthe, she belonged to him and vice versa. When he first saw her he was close to death, he thought her to be an Angel of Death. Beautiful and yet so deadly. He was shocked to wake up in his old bed with stitching back in his head. She was sat on a chair watching over him as he slept. She refused to leave him, it made him feel loved and wanted. Something that not many people had managed to make him feel.
They both walked down the snowy streets. Drocell's arm still wrapped firmly around her waist, Absinthe's arm was placed around his now. "Shall we return home my dear?" He asked. He saw her cheeks had become rosy red with the cold and smiled at how cute she looked. She didn't speak but only nodded. She put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She felt disturbed by her meeting with Sebastian. He would be suspicious but it made her wonder why he was also here? She pushed it to the back of her mind and concentrated on what to do next with finding a soul to entwine. The snow had got heavier and was pouring down from the grey skies, with no signs of stopping any time soon. It was almost like it was protecting Absinthe and Drocell from the sight of the prying eyes of others. As they soon became invisible almost.
Sebastian arrived back at Ciels house in the city. He was sat bored on one of the chairs reading. He looked up on hearing the door open."Did you find what you was looking for?" He inquired. He was very intrigued to why Sebastian had run out so quickly. "Yes Master. It was just as I had suspected. We have another Demon on our hands. But if she is connected to the missing children cases I am not sure." He slowly said. He was debating and weighing up in his mind the probability of her been involved. Ciel nodded and put his book down."So what makes you think that she is connected to this? Also how did you know she was here?" He asked his Butler. He knew he couldn't lie to him, it was a bonus as he couldn't keep secrets from him. He had to tell him all the details."I could sense her power. Her Name his Absinthe Swarm she introduced the drink Absinthe into the Human world for a joke, she is the Absinthe fairy in a sort of way. She Isn't a pleasant demon to be around not caring for other. Only out for herself. So it doesn't make sense why she is here….." He trailed off. Ciels eyes widened as he tried to think of an explanation. "Maybe she's here to kill people? Don't demons like to cause mayhem wherever they go?" Ciel sniggered, in the hope of outsmarting Sebastian. But his smile was soon wiped off his face when Sebastian Shook his head."I know her well. She would have done it by now, she said she was bored and had come here to search for a master. She was by the docks looking out to sea." Sebastian paused placing a gloved finger on his thin lip. "Whatever she's up to, keep an eye on her though Sebastian." Ciel ordered. He turned his gaze to the fire that was dwindling."Yes my young Lord." Sebastian Bowed.
