That other demon and his prize

Now let me transport you to the manor of Hector. I was there because I was tasked to deal with hector, whom had killed Alphonse. Now Hector as I told you in an earlier chapter has a demon butler of his own. First let me explain that since I first met Hector, Adam had found out that Hector and William had become a bit of an item. Well whatever goes on in their private life is none of my business, but I guess from what I was told that William wasn't enough for Hector, let me explain.

- (This is told from the point of view of William.)

Adam and Jessica came to the house where I worked, but were they in for a surprise when they got there. Jessica was distraught at the sight, and Adam took me to one side to ask me what went on here, here is my tale of the events.

Let me take you to a few weeks prior to the visit of Adam and Jessica, I noticed that my young love (well I had no knowledge of how he felt about me) had a slight habit that I wished he would grow out of. He had begun to run into walls, I just put it down to the fact that he was still grieving over the death of Jaffa, but part of me wondered if it was something else. Day after day he would have moments where he was fine then all of a sudden he would start running into walls. Honestly it was like being in kindergarten, he required constant supervision. Some days I would be like yeah whatever, I didn't really care, but on others I would be like 'Hector, please stop, you know how much you mean to me. I would hate for you to hurt yourself.' But sometimes this wouldn't deter him. One day it got to the point where he was having one of his moments, so I ran up to him and lowered myself to his level, I put my hands on his shoulders and said, "what's wrong, you have got me all worked up with worry, I don't know what to do with you, I don't want you to get hurt."

"William, I'm sorry, I guess I am a little bit preoccupied lately and this is the only way to calm myself down. "His face was so sweet and innocent, so much so that I began to tear. "William, what wrong." I couldn't say anything but then Hector wrapped his arms around me in a loving embrace. Well I was quite unprepared at what happened next, I mean I was an emotional wreck, even though we demons aren't really supposed to show emotions. Hector lent towards me and when our lips touched I couldn't stop myself, I felt my hands run through his hair, it was soft and silky to the touch and his blond locks glistened in the candlelight, but that wasn't enough. I dragged him to the middle of the grand hall and began to tug at his clothes. I began to struggle trying to unbutton Hectors shirt. Failing miserably I ended up ripping his shirt off revealing Hector's broad shoulders and slightly muscular chest. We were panting as we continued to rip each other's clothes off. First my jacket, then my shirt and then the trousers, slowly revealing inch by inch our pale bodies. Whilst embraced in an exceedingly passionate kiss Hector pushed me onto the table. He joined me, crawling on his hand and knees until he was on top of me. We spent the next hour enjoying the thrill of being wrapped in the pleasure of cardinal bliss. Truthfully I didn't care about his gender, but it was fun, I mean it got rough at times but we didn't care. We enjoyed ourselves. Now this happened on a regular basis and our 'sex' life was quite healthy, but there was still something eating me from the inside, something about my Hector.

Let's jump forward in time to about a week before the visit of Adam and Jessica. Klaus whom I am sure that you have met in a previous chapter, made an unexpected visit to the home. He was a shady character and to be quite frank with you he was an exceedingly unpleasant grim reaper. It was him who sparked this mess.

Klaus had asked that since he was on business, could he stay for a few days, now Hector being Hector said yes. I thought that if my master was ok with it then I was to be. Now on a few occasions I heard them laughing, but I just left them to it, it wasn't like they were up to anything bad as such, so it was in my best judgement to let them be, but I couldn't help but think that there was something going on between Klaus and Hector. Something that I thought, I was the only one to enjoy.

Anyway today was the day that enough was enough, I had to know what those two were doing, and I had to put my mind at rest. First I went straight to Hector and decided that I would ask him directly. He was most uncooperative; he denied anything that went on between them.

"Hector, listen to me, I know what has been going on between you and Klaus, what you childishly seem to forget is that there is another servant in the house," he was making a reference to Isabelle, "plus you seem to forget that I am a demon, and that I know what you're up to without even being in the same room as you."

"William, your lying, there is no way that you could have known what me and Klaus were up to." Just then Hector realised what he was saying. "Shit."

"So you're admitting that there was something going on between you."

"So what if there was, it's not like it's going to kill you is it."

"But it has Hector, it has killed part of me, I cared for you, I loved you, but you obviously didn't, was it just a game to you. Tell me why you did it."

"Why? You want to know why, well let's just say you yourself seemed preoccupied."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I can see it in your eyes that I am just not enough for you, there is someone else that you want, there is someone else's soul that you cherish more than mine, that person William is Jessica." I was dumbfounded, I mean it was true, I do cherish Jessica's soul more than Hectors, but that bastard demon Adam will get it, he will have the meal of a lifetime when he devours her soul. "it was obvious to all that the real motive behind forming a contract with me was to make it easier to get at Jessica. That's why I cheated on you, because I felt abandoned, Klaus seemed to care for me as a human, you only cared for me as a prize."

"Hector, I'm so sorry, I know that I have been neglecting our contract, but you can't exactly claim that your picture perfect. You also went against the contract. You said that you would be with me forever, and you went off with a reaper. That I am afraid is punishable with only one thing."

"Death," Hector replied, "tell me William, the person who killed Jaffa, they are close to me aren't they, Jessica and Adam had nothing to do with her death."

"No, you're correct about that."

"well then I guess that you can have my soul, all our contract was, was to discover whether Jessica or Adam had any part in Jaffa's death, since they didn't the contract is complete, you may take my soul now."

I smiled, at least I was going to dine on a soul even though it wasn't the perfect soul, there was still a lot of pain and anguish and I know that when Adam comes to dine on Jessica's soul he will enjoy it. And with that I grabbed Hector's head and twisted it violently that there was a loud crack, and so that the head was completely decapitated from the body. I then dined on his soul. There was some element of satisfaction to this act.

Just then Isabelle walked in to the hall, seeing the blood on the floor, and me with Hectors head in one hand, the blood dripping onto the floor where me and Hector has enjoyed moments of cardinal bliss, she smiled.

"What you smiling at, you little bitch." William was angry.

"Well that's rich coming from you demon." Isabelle replied, "you saved me a job, thank-you."

"Well, I could have ended the contract between me and Hector earlier, it was just the case that he had to find out for himself whether Jessica and Adam killed his sister or not. But you Belle are a different story, you have always hated Hector, you were the one who killed Jaffa, I thank you for giving me the chance to dine on a soul but you my dear, are no better than Hector, you killed an innocent child, you made another innocent child grieve, you deserve to die."

"Go on then, do it. I would rather die than live a moment longer. At least I will die knowing that Hector is dead, see you in Limbo my friend." With that I removed the pistol that he had concealed in my waist coat pocket and placed the barrel against Isabelle's head, then without hesitation I pulled the trigger. Blood sprayed all over the room, on the floor lay two bodies, my lover and my enemy; I wished it had never come to this. That is when Jessica and Adam walked into the house.

- (back to the perspective of Jessica)

I stood there shocked at the scene, how could William have thrown away something as precious as the bond that he and Hector had, it made me want to throw up. Adam looked at William and sighed, no explanation of what had happened could excuse him.

"Adam," William began, "tell me what will you do now you know the truth."

"William, you know what the only option is in my opinion, but since the Queens Watch Dog is here, I think that she should be your judge and jury."

"So, Jessica what is my sentence." William looked unfazed about what I could choose.

"William, for the death of Hector and Belle, I hereby sentence you to death at the hands of another demon." Adam had produces a strange looking sword, its emerald jagged edges glistened in the daylight. "Your crimes were just as bad as those committed by Jack the Ripper; I would perhaps class them as worse as jealousy was the pure motive."

Adam stood beside William who was now on his knees; he brought the sword to Williams's neck and held it there for a few seconds. I looked at him and with that he drew back the sword and sent it into Williams's neck with so much force that in one sweep his head came clean off. Williams head went flying across the room and the rest of his body collapsed to the floor and the blood drained out.

"Adam", I sighed, "I think that it is time that we depart, we can leave the reapers to clean up this mess." As we walked out the house, Malick and Klaus were walking up the steps.

"Well, demon, it seems you have caused quite the commotion in there." Malick sounded cocky.

"Malick, don't be so stupid, I only killed William at the order of my mistress, the other deaths were caused by William himself, now will you excuse us, we must be getting back home, my mistress has a lot of work to do."

So with that me and Adam went home, once home I decided that today had been eventful enough so decided to retire, well I thought that I could sleep, but what William did made me think about what could have been the outcome of an earlier event. Adam walked into the room sensing that I was somewhat slightly distressed. I looked up at Adam, "the situation today that could have easily been me."

"What are you talking about, remember you have me by your side, I promise that nothing will happen to you."

"Adam, I mean with the first case I took on as the Queens Watch Dog, I could easily have been shot well before you even came to the rescue."

"Jessica, you're tired let's continue the rest of this conversation tomorrow."

"Ok Adam," I sleepily replied and with that I began to drift off into a deep sleep.
