Moonlight: I don't own anything but Moonlight.
Chapter 19: His Butler, Regenerating
Moonlight's POV
I had to cover my mouth from throwing up, but even that didn't help. I had to turn my head away to release the vile fluids from my mouth. I wretched for about five minutes then finally stopped. I looked up at Sebastian. "Se-seb…astian?" I cried out. I crawled toward him, his body.
I was about to start having a break down, when I realized that I needed to tell somebody. I jumped up and ran to Finny and Bard's room. "Get up!" I yell. "Ugh… what is it at this hour?" Bard grumbles. "GET UP NOW!" I screeched, as I ran out the door. That seemed to get their attention. They followed me, as I ran to Meirin's room. I kicked down her door, it being locked. "Get up, now!" I yell. She immdeiatly gets up. "Follow me, this is an emergeancy!" I yell, running to the fireplace room. I ran in and stopped. The servants saw and gasped.
Now I allowed myself to break down. I crumbled to the floor and started crying, then bawling. Meirin hugged me close, understanding why I feel this way. I continued to break down for an hour, then I couldn't cry anymore. There was no tears left in me. I stood up shakily, and slowly walked towards Sebastian's decapitated head. I pick it up and placed it to his neck.
I was going to sew it, but I thought there could have been evidence. I take a deep breath. "I'm going to get Ciel." I announced. The sevants panicked. "Don't do tha-"I don't care, he has to find out sooner or later!" I yelled. I barged past them, and ran up the stairs.
I ran until I got to Ciel's room, I quickly opened the door, and walked to his bed. "Get up." I spoke loudly. Ciel grumbles and looks up at me. "Who are you to…" Ciel was looking at my hands. "Come. Right now. You need to see this." I said, tears streaming down my face again.
Ciel seemed surprised that I was crying in front of him, so he got up. He followed me down the hallway and down the stair case. By the time I got to the bottom, I fell over, crying. I barely pointed up to the fire place room.
Ciel quickly ran into it and froze. "Seb…astian?" He calls out. No answer. Ciel started walking to Sebastian, I suspected, since I wasn't even watching anymore. I heard splashing noises, of Ciel walking in Sebastian's blood.
"You… can't be dead Sebastian. You said we'd be together until the end!" Ciel said, walking faster Sebastian. I got up, and grabbed him by the arm. "Ciel, Sebastian is dead! Even he can't live through that!" I pull him close. "Don't worry. He said he would always be with you. Even if he were to die, remember that." I whisper to him. Ciel didn't do anything, considering that he was in shock.
"Now go back to sleep." I said. "Don't worry, he's still with you." I said, already leading him up the stair case. I turn back. "Take him to the basement! We have to examine him tomorrow." I command. The servants saluted me, and went to pick up Sebastian.
I lead Ciel to his room, him getting over his shock. I back off a bit, not wanting him to get mad. Ciel walked to his bed, and I stood by the door. Ciel got into bed, I whisper loud enough for him to hear. "Good night, my lord."
Later
I went back to upstairs, pondering on what to do. I decided to go see the Undertaker again, wondering what he's go to say about it. I run to the window and jumped out. I ran off the property and down the road. I continued running, until I arrived at the Undertaker's shop. I walk in, surprised that it's open at this late hour.
"Undertaker?" I call out. I sigh, and sat on a coffin. "I'm not playing here, I want to talk with you." I said. A coffin in a corner opened up, revealing the Undertaker. He yawned and asked tiredly "What is it at this hour?" I was surprised that the Undertaker actually slept. "I'm here because my father is dead. I know he's not truly dead but I was wondering on how to get him back quicker, instead of waiting for a while." I explained.
"Hmm, first of all, you've got to make me laugh to go on any further to discuss this conversation." The Undertaker said. I sigh. "All right, this is a small one. A boy and his father came home from riding the bus. The boy ran to his mother and said 'Mom, Dad told me to give up my spot to a lady on the bus!' The mom said 'Well, you did the right thing.' The boy whined. 'But mom, I was sitting on Dad's lap!'" The Undertaker cackled very loudly, almost shaking the building.
"Ah… I'm sure that would have been funnier if I was fully awake, but oh well! Anyways, back to the problem at hand. Are ye sure that that funny butler was dead?" He questioned. I nod my head. "His head was completely off." I said. "Hmm, yes he is dead then. Well, a demon cannot actually die, unless they are killed by a demon sword, or of course by a shinigami." The Undertaker explained.
"So right now, that butler is in the Underworld, regenerating himself so he can come back. There's nothing that you can do to speed up this process, you just have to be patient. Well, maybe if you visited him while he's down there, it might just a sliver, but I'm not really sure about that. After all, I'm not a demon." The Undertaker continued. "I see, but am I allowed there? After all, I have angel in me, and I'm sure that they would know that if I went there." I asked.
"Hmm, that I do not know. I only met half angel half human, not one third angel, one third human, and one third demon." He said. "Well then, I guess I'm going on a trip then!" I said. "See ya later, Grandfa!" I said over my shoulder, already out the door. He waves back, grinning, and I abruptly stopped. I smack myself on the head and run back to the Undertaker. "I'm such an idiot, how do I get there?" I asked in a hurry.
"Hehe, I was wondering where you were going!" The Undertaker joked. I scowl at him. "Anyways, how do I get there!" I ask, losing my patience. "Calm down, here. You need to swim to Death Island. Once you get there, go to a cave, a really big one, and go through. At the end of it, you will be in the entrance of Hell." He explained. "So I just swim?" I ask. "Under the London bridge." The Undertaker said. "So I just swim?" I ask. He nods.
"Alright, anything else?" I ask. He shakes his head. "Ok, now good bye, Grandfa!" I say, running out the door. He waves back, and I run to the bridge. The sun began to rise, and people were already walking about. I sigh, not really caring. I get to the bridge, and stand on the railing. "Hey, wait!" A police officer said, but I dove in.
I fell, and finally hit the water, snapping my neck. I sank, as everything blacked out. I wake my eyes, to see me floating. I hear screaming, and I immediately stop to swim under the bridge, that leads out of town. I hear a lot of gasping, and a police officer yelling "Hey, wait!" I kept swimming, and I was out of reach.
I swam for a very long time, probably a day. Everything was misty, I could barely see in front of me. After a while, something huge and black began to appear. 'Is that the island?' I thought. It began to become clearer and clearer, revealing an island.
After another long while, I finally came to the shore. I got out the water, the place dark. I began to walk into the forest that was on the island. I realized that there was barely any sun. The place had a dark presence, like I shouldn't be here. I felt like I should leave, but feel at home at the same time.
I continued to walk for a couple of hours, and I find a crumple building of some sort. I walk inside, and in the middle, I see a stone bench. I stare at it for a while, then turned my attention to behind the building. I walked behind it and started walking again.
More hours passed, and then I finally came across the cave that the Undertaker was talking about. I walked in, the dark presence getting much more stronger. I continued to walk awhile again, then a ledge began to form, revealing flames at the bottom. The ledge was very narrow, so I had to be careful. The place was still dark, surprisingly. I walked on the narrow edge for a while, then the ledge got wider and wider, finally revealing a path.
I walked, and after a while, a gate appeared. I felt a very strong presence. Two men were guarding, er, demons were guarding it. One had the same hair as Sebastian, but was a lot more bushier and messier, had small horns that twisted, were growing from his head, black wings growing from his back.
The other one had a black ponytail up, with sharp, long horns growing from his head, and had bigger black wings. The first one, I noticed as I got closer, had a scar running over his left eye, and had a sword. 'I have to be careful.' I thought. I walked closer. They noticed me, and the first one pulled out his sword and lunged at me. I dodged, and had my scythe form. He stopped, his eyes widening.
The other one, seemed a bit surprised, and walked towards me. "Who are you?" He questioned. "I'm Moonlight Michaelis." I introduced. Now it was his turn to widen his eyes. "Sebastian's daughter? I never knew he had one." The first one said. "Now it's your turn to say your names." I said. "My name is Fang Axelis." The ponytailed said. "I am Josh Duncan." The other one said.
"It's nice to meet you. Now I have come here to see my father." I said. Josh shakes his head. "Even though you're the keeper of the Jigoku Hikari Jewel, we cannot let you in because we can tell you're part angel." He said.
"Hmm, I guess that makes sense." I said. 'Well, I guess I have to become a demon…' I thought. I begin to enter my mind, causing my knees buckle. I barely managed to say "I'll be back."
I open my eyes, in front of two other me's. "You must choose one, Moonlight." Somebody says behind me, placing their hands on my shoulder. I look behind me, to see a demon with long bushy hair, huge black wings, and was very handsome.
"A-are you the demon locked inside me?" I ask. He nods. "Indeed I am. Now you need to choose one now. We will speak again." He said, and vanished. I turn my attention back to the me's in front of me. I walk up to the demon one, and we both lift our hands up, and touched. There was a bright light, and I woke up again, the two other demons staring down at me. I heard them gasp and I got up. I was completely in black.
I was in one outfit, a dress with gloves attached to it, the gloves "Nails" part was very long and razor sharp. My wings were out, only a lot bigger and both were out, both pitch black. My scythe was on my back, the shadow one. I had a hood on, covering my head, and shadowing my face. I had boots a lot similar to Sebastian's. "Now can I go in?" I ask.
They go to the gate and opened it. "Yes." They said in unison. They open the gate, and I enter. I walk slowly, looking around. Fire was everywhere, but all looked normal, excluding the part where a lot of people were getting their heads chopped off and still screaming when their head was gone.
I shiver, a bit creeped out about that. I decided to go to a huge building, the center of this so called "town" of sorts. I ran to it at lightning speed. I stopped at it, and searched for Sebastian's presence. To my surprise it was actually in there. I walked in.
It was a big opened room, and I had the feeling it was supposed to be a hospital. I searched for Sebastian's presence, and it was in the back of this so called building. I walked towards and I realized there is spaces in the hallway, some of them filled with a demon, the demon having parts of skin melting into it, regenerating it. I also realized that the demons that I had seen so far look humans, besides the horns wings and weird outfits.
I continued down the hall, and eventually I came across Sebastian. Only, he looked completely different. He had a glove outfit. The gloves "nails" were also sharp, and went up along his arm, and covered his shoulders and connected to make one piece, nothing else. He had on a weird skirt that looped around his waist, appearing to be floating. He had on his boots, which went all the way up to his thighs, and horns jutting out behind his ears, shooting behind his head, and they were jet black.
There was metal wrapped around his legs, twirling around him, appearing to look like vines, to hold him place as he was being healed. I came closer, and he opened his eyes. "Ah, what a surprise, Moonlight. I really didn't expect to see you here." He said. "I wanted to see you, you being dead and all..." I said. "I see, well let's go then." Sebastian said, breaking of the metal as though it was dead branches.
I realized that Sebastian was a lot taller, and not because of his boots. He made me feel as though I was nine. I was only up to his chest, whereas if he was in his human form, I would be up to his chin. I also realize that he has a tail, a skinny one, his tail looking like a black arrow. He places his hands on my shoulders, and begins to push me forward.
We left the building, with a lot of demons staring at us. He suddenly picks me up bridal style and leaps into the air, him flapping his wings. We flew to the gate, and there was the same guards as earlier. They bow, as Sebastian walks by. "Who are you?" I ask. Sebastian smiles, revealing razor sharp teeth. "Just somebody important." He says.
We leave the cave, Sebastian still carrying me. Sebastian leaps high into the air, and flies into the mist. He flies for a while, then I see London again. Sebastian stops flying, and falls. He hits the ground, back to a butler. Sebastian pulls my cloak over my body and head, making sure I'm covered. He walks, then calls for a carriage. One stops, and lets us in.
I keep my head low, making sure no one sees me. The carriage drives to the mansion, and we get off. Sebastian continues to carry me bridal style all the way up to the mansion. I heard yelling. "Where's Sebastian's body!" I hear Meirin yell. "I don't know!" I hear Finny yell. Sebastian opens the door, the servants gasp. "It's Sebastian's ghost!" Finny yells, flaing his arms.
"No, you fools." I say. Sebastian sits me down, and I remove my hood. "Moonlight? How'd you get Sebastian back?" Finny asks. "Easy, the Sebastian you found was a hoax." Ciel says on top of the stair case. The servants whip their heads around, and I smile.
Hours later…
Ciel explained everything to the servants, it being a lie. We still couldn't find out who the murderer was, but it didn't matter. Sebastian checked the mansion thoroughly and didn't find a single trace of the murderer ever being here.
I sigh, staring up at the moon. I was a demon now, a full demon, not just one third or a half but full. I continued to stare at the moon, when Sebastian sat down next to me. I crawled into his lap, and he wrapped his arms around me. (Me: NAWT IN DA ROMANTIC WAY! D) We stared up at the moon for a long while, when I finally asked "Sebastian, who are you really?" He chuckles. "That's for me to know, and for you to find out."
