Hey all you lovely readers out there, this chap contains some weird backstory type stuff. Ummm...Just watch for falling randomness and merge to the left lane in 200 feet. Oh and there might not be any chaps for a while after this cuz I have a gap to fill up.
Chapter...8?
It was almost time. Carmela was pacing at the edge of the trancy grounds. Fully clothed and in her human form of, course. It had taken twice as long to get out of the phantomhive house and to the trancy manor, but she had done it. Her feline instincts were screaming at her to leave, but they also told her it was nearing midnight. She walked up towards the garden path. Feeling rather terrified of the statues and hedge sculptures. The closer she got to the meeting spot the faster her heart beat. The more her hands shook. And the stranger she felt.
The moon was directly above her head when she stepped out into the open. Just seconds later the butler appeared, followed by three other, identical, manservants. Carmela was still wearing her maids outfit, well part of it. She had ditched the headpiece and apron. So she stood in her plain blue dress and bare feet. The three identical demons started whispering among themselves.
"She smells like a phantomhive." One whispered. Carmela thanked her cat senses.
"But she smells like something else too." The middle one whispered back.
"Is she a demon?" The previously silent one spoke up.
"No. But she's not human." The middle one spoke again.
"Would you three imbeciles stop that incessant whispering!" The butler snapped. He turned to face me, his face an unsettling expression of calm. "You came." He noted.
"Yes, I did. And I am very tempted to leave." Carmela frowned and tried to figure out just why she was summoned here. This was the question that had been floating around her mind for days. Ever since he let her go, let her live. The man could have easily killed her when he had the chance, yet he let her go, with the only words of come back soon. What could he possibly want from her?
"Well it seems you are in a bit of a hurry. I guess I should get down to business." The butler's gold eyes looked at me over his spectacles. "I have a job for you, one that really only you could accomplish." The demons eyes were tearing Carmela apart, his irises flitting side to side, dissecting her.
"And why me?" Carmela asked, suddenly on the defense. "Why not one of you, or the other demon hiding in the hedge maze?" Of course, there were always more. How many demons did a house need?
"Because he will trust you." The man replied cryptically, motioning for the other woman to come from behind the shrubbery. "He will trust you, and I will be able to eat." The three plum headed demons nodded in unison.
"And you, what do you think of all this?" The only non-demon was frightened, so she asked the other female in the gardens.
"I want him...gone." The woman dropped her head as if she was ashamed.
"Fine, I can be an assassin, if i have too." Carmela raised her chin and planted her feet. The whole world was spinning out from underneath her. Of course the bad things always had to happen to her. Like when she lived on the streets.
The sky was gray with smoke, the buildings were orange with fire. Everywhere the frightened girl looked there was death, and destruction. A maniac with some strange whirring blade ran past her giggling. She was strangely aware of the red. London was burning.
london city is burning down
burning down
burning down
london city is burning down
my fair lady.
The girl turned to face the voice, but saw nothing. She ran, her feet hitting the scorched ground and leaving a path in the destruction. But then the footprints changed into something much smaller.
"First you must pass, the test." The demon butler's eyes glowed red.
"Thompson, Timber, Canterbury...Attack."
