"So who's driving?" I asked as walking into the kitchen slipping on my coat.

"You. I'm awful at driving." Millie frowned.

"Alright. Then lets get out of here." I said grabbing the keys off of the hook near the door.

Millie and I were going shopping for groceries for the week. Sebastian and Master Phantomhive were away for the weekend on business and Sebastian had left behind money and a list of things he would require when they returned. Alfie was working on trimming up the trees in the back garden per Sebastian's orders and Cade was down with a cold so that left Millie and I.

I stuffed the money for the groceries into the pocket of my jeans and we headed for the garage. Waiting there was the same shiny black car that had picked me up from the airport. I knew nothing of brands but it looked, like everything else Master Phantomhive owned, expensive. The one that Sebastian and Master Phantomhive had taken on business was newer than this one but it was just a beautiful.

I got behind the wheel, frowning slightly at the strange feeling of sitting on the opposite side of the car before turning it on. I adjusted everything before pulling out and headed down the path that led to the gate.

"So you waited on Master Phantomhive the other day?" Millie asked.

I nodded, "Sebastian had some sort of business to attend to."

"How was it?" she asked.

"Not bad. He wasn't overly bossy or anything. I even helped him choose a new wrapper for his candy and we played chess." I said.

"You played chess with the Young Master?!" Millie asked.

"Yeah…what? Is that strange?" I asked.

"Sort of. He's never shown any interest in any of us before you came along. Maybe he fancies you." She grinned.

"What? No! He was bored and I knew how to play chess! That's it!" I replied with a laugh.

"Say what you want Charlotte but I think he might have a bit of a crush on you!" Millie sing songed.

I rolled my eyes and continued driving.

When we reached the market we parked and climbed out. The moment we did a guy came stumbling from the pub next door. He was a good 10 feet away but I could still smell the liquor radiating off of him.

"Imagine that…not even 2 in the afternoon and he's already drunk as a skunk." Millie frowned.

"Let's go get our stuff." I said frowning and headed for the door.

However before we could get there he came stumbling towards us.

"Well aren't you two pretty little things?" he slurred.

"Thank you. C'mon Millie." I said and grabbed her hand before pulling her into the store.

It took a little over a half hour to get everything from Sebastian's list and check out. I hoped the drunk guy would've wandered off to bug someone else but when we walked out he was slumped on the ground next to the building.

"Well if it isn't my pretty little girls. Would you like some help with those?" the drunk slurred as he got unsteadily to his feet.

"No thank you. We have it." I muttered and the two of us hurried to our car.

"Oh c'mon now…don't act all cold like that. I've met American birds like you before. I know how warm you can be." he grinned and gave a wink.

"Just leave us alone!" Millie snapped as he got closer.

"C'mon red…no need to be afraid! I'll take good care of you." he said and reached out and grabbed Millie's arm.

"Let me go!" Millie screamed trying to pull away but the lush held tight.

"Just a little kiss red and I'll let you go." he said.

"Let her go you asshole!" I cursed and tried to pull Millie away but he gave me a shove and I fell back onto the pavement.

"Charlotte! HELP! SOMEONE HELP!" Millie screamed.

That's when it happened.

The acrid smell of smoke filled my nose, the wind picked up and whipped my hair around me and I felt the brush of feathers on my cheek. I knew what was happening and at the point I didn't care. The only thing that mattered was that drunk.

I rose from the pavement and locked my eyes on the drunk. Millie saw me before he did. He was now too busy trying to get his hand down her pants to notice me.

When Millie saw me she let out a sort of shriek and passed out, going limp in his arms. The drunk just smirked and pulled her closer, his lips lowering towards hers.

"I wouldn't do that I were you." I said, my voice cold.

"Just wait your turn sweetheart…I'll be done with your friend-" but the words died on his lips as he turned and saw me.

His jaw dropped and he started to shake.

"Put her down now." I growled.

He nodded and sat her on the curb. The moment she was out of his arms I grabbed him roughly and threw him. He hit the wall hard and crumbled at the base. I picked him up and gripped his face, my nails digging into the flesh of his cheeks. Blood ran down my hand from the wound, the metallic scent mixing with the smoke.

"P-Please I beg you! Heaven have mercy on me!" he pleaded.

My mouth curled into a smile, "As if you deserve it, you trash."

"Please I didn't mean any harm!" he said his eyes glazing over with tears.

"Well I do!" I screamed and brought the hand that wasn't holding him up and slashed at him, blood blooming from the wounds.

I did it over and over again, shredding his clothes and flesh to ribbons. Blood bloomed from the wounds, splashing me and the sidewalk. I felt a sense of joy and excitement at every drop that was spilled. I felt no regrets.

Suddenly out of nowhere I felt something hit me and my hands released from the lush. I felt myself fall to the ground as the smell of smoke disappeared. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was a pair of black shiny shoes walking towards me on the pavement and then nothing.

So a short chapter but a very important one nonetheless!

I hope you all enjoyed it!
