Chapter eight

The day seemed to fly by faster than the speed of light. All the same, it was as if I was in a trance. It brushed by without affect as if it were the wind. Sebastian had stayed clear of me, considering we both knew I needed my time and space to cool off and figure things out. Sometimes, he can be smart.

All that thinking of Sebastian though, made me uneasy. What if he doesn't like me? What if he does… What if… I'm not gay. Though, what if I am? What will Sebastian do? What will Grell do if something happens… All these thoughts only resulted in a giant head ache. Rubbing the bridge of my nose for comfort, I waited for the final bell in sixth period to ring for the end of the day. When teacher finally called things to a close, and everyone packed up to leave, I stayed still. It was as the teacher let everyone out to go home, was when I started to pack up. I wanted to be the last to leave so I would risk bumping into Sebastian, or that group of boys on my way out.

Gathering my stuff up in my arms, I stood, put my chair up, and then walked towards the door. I heard some snickering when I opened it, and then saw a group of boys with "skateboards" standing there. I saw beyond them to the rows of busses, and excited kids piling in one after another, anxious to reach their destinations of home. I saw the bus that I was directed to take, but Sebastian was standing in line, and starting to board.

I'd rather walk home… I thought quietly to myself, as I steered myself into a different direction, planning on taking the long rout home.

"Hey, hey, hey kid." The group called.

Just leave me alone.

"Hey kid wait a min'" They said again

What the hell do you want.

"Hey Kid-" I spun sharply around

"My name isn't "Kid". Okay? So leave me alone." I snapped. They put their hands up defensively to show they meant no harm.

"Just wanted to say sorry about before." He shrugged.

"Yeah? And what possibly possessed you to do that."

"The teachers. Some kid ratted us out." They all turned, and rolled away on their boards.

I again, continued my journey back. Everyone else can shove it for now. Just few minutes down the concrete path down the back-way alley that lead to the apartments, I heard a loud smack that had been blocked from view by shrubs and vines that twined in the long wooden fence.

"What's the use of having a servant like you if you down try at all to fulfill my wish?" I heard a Gal shout, followed by another brutal and abusive seeming sound.

"W…What's the matter princess? Can't take it? No time to wait? Do you know what happened when the deals over?" The other came at a somewhat twisted responded.

"Shut your trap you insolent witch!" What's going on?

I took another small detour, and walked through the shrubs to see what exactly was going on. Curiosity killed the cat Phantomhive My sub-mind spoke. I supposed I got there too late, for when I finally got around, only a small trail of blood was visible. I determined that whoever had been here had already left, but there was a bit of sick evidence that provoked me to continue with my search, and make sure I hadn't just heard things. I wanted to call for Sebastian, because he did mention we were searching for a demon, right? What if this was the demon we needed. I was still furious with him though, so I wasn't planning on going to him for help. I decided to take matters into my own hands, so I followed the red path lining the ground.

Not too much later, and I had come across a figure perched up against the brown fence. She was pale, with black hair.

"Marie?" The blobby creature sluggishly looked to me.

"You know, I can feel the pain. I really can," She smiled, and stood upright. Her spine popped into place with multiple cracks, and her head went back upright with a pull at her back neck. Her nice smile turned into something devious. "These would just be my demonic traits."

"You're the demon?" If anything, I thought Alice was the demon!

"Don't look so surprised." She shrugged, "You and Sebastian are quite the pair yourself."

I coughed into my fist.

"Yeah." Marie sauntered over towards me in an Alois-like fashion.

"I'll keep your secret, if you keep mine." She bargained.

Doesn't mean I wont tell Sebastian

"Don't tell your boyfriend either." She smirked.

"Damn it! He's not my boyfriend!" God, is she reading my mind?

"No, I'm not reading your mind." She punched my arm with her normal attitude. "I'm messing with you. I'm not a mind reader, jeez. You're just predictable."

"Whatever!" I pouted.

"So, your that "Demon-contracted-with-another-demon" Kid right?"

Does everyone know? "Yeah."

"Ah, So your contracts in your eye..?"

"Yeah."

"Sweet, mines right here!" She said in a sickeningly sweet tone of voice, as she used her pointer finger to point to the rose on her wrist.

"It's pretty…" Oh Lord, You Did Not Just Say That Ciel!

"Hah, yeah I know" She smiled bigger again. It was an Elizabeth grin. "Well, I got to go!" She sighed happily.

"I should go to." I commented.

"Remember; if you tell Sebastian, you can expect the worse to happen to both of you. OK?"

I nodded, and we went off our separate ways: I left for home with the whole fiasco on my brain, and she left to who knows where.

[A/N:] Yoo-Hoos! W-What's this? An Update? Ah, Lol(:

Yet another Winged chapter. Its kind of short/: Well….. Yeah. I Made it short so I could develop another chapter for you guys^^ Lol. Develop. Sounds like a lab experiment or something, hah, I can just see me standing there in a white lab coat cooing the lab rats into experiments that would lead to their painful, torturous demise…. um… Sorry, blame that last part on my short attention span. Anyways, Like always, reviews are appreciated, and if you got an opinion I'd love to hear it! :D
