-Your pov-
As the burning manor vanished from your sight the tears kept streaming down your face. The mere thought of knowing that you will have to fight the only brother you had left. Not only that but the thought that you may not live and neither will they made you cry even harder. Your other brother had just perished from lack of blood and when he did you had to stand and watch helplessly. You were a doctor, and yet there was no saving him. As the city came into view the only thing that was helping you find your path were your wings which were still glowing and on fire. Once you were in the center of the city something came into your view. It seemed to be a person and that person seemed to be hopping from building to building and before you knew it you accidentally collided with the person.
When you were finally able to recover from the hit, the person did too and they started yelling at you. "Hey! What was that for?!" The person asked. Soon another man who seemed to be his friend came over which only meant trouble. "This creature hit me!" Shouted the first man. "Sorry. I just h-h-had to watch my b-brother die so I-I'm still sort of shaken." You said. "Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. I was on my way to the Phantomhive manor and-" he said until you cut him off. "Wait the Phantomhive manor… I'm the newest servant there." You said. "Do you by any chance know Bassy?" Asked the person. "I don't know a "bassy", but I know a Sebastian." You said. "He was the one who hired me."
"Senior sutcliff, are you ok?" Asked the second man. "Let me guess… You two are reapers and you are going to the Phantomhive manor to collect some souls aren't you?" You said. Suddenly the two men stared at you in awe. For someone to know that they were reapers surprised them. "H-How did you know we were reapers?" Asked the first one. "Well first I know a reaper. His name is William T. Spears. I met him when I was in the states with the circus once." You explained. "You know Will and Bassy! That's great. I'm Grell Sutcliff. The one who is watching me is Ronald knox." He said as he helped you up. "I am (F/n), but you can call me Phoenix." You said as you brushed your wings off. "I better be off. I must go protect the manor." You said as you ran and flew off.
- time skip-
Once you got to the manor you were just in time. When you got there Jumbo was in the side of a wall and Peter and Wendy were trying to kill the gardener. Then when you got the chance you snapped your finger and Peter was set on fire. "How the hell did this happen?!" Peter asked until he started screaming. Then you got the hat back from Peter once he was dead and gave it to the gardener. "Who are you?" He asked as he watched you place his hat on his head. He had strawberry blonde hair and red hair clips that held his bangs out of his face. He was kind of cute in your opinion, but you decided not to tell him that. "I'm the newest servant. Although right now isn't time for introductions. We need to alert the others that Beast and Dagger are trying to get in." you said. "Right." Said the gardener as the two of you ran inside.
When you were inside you were instantly met by the chef. "Hello. I am Phoenix. I am sure you have heard of who I am. I will help you with the remainder of the night, because I think the others have it covered and I have really no clue what you would like me to do." You said.
-Bard's pov-
This new servant… She isn't anything that Sebastian said she was. The girl only looked like she was as young as our master if not older and she almost looked like she had been crying. I felt a little bad for what was currently going through. In a way it almost seemed as though she was forced to fight, but it might just be my imagination. Suddenly I noticed that she wasn't human. She was had wings and she was flying. It almost made me think that she had been thrown onto the streets because of her rarity. I began to pity her even more once I realized that she most likely came out of the east end.
"My name is Baldroy. I am the chef of this estate." I said. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, Baldroy." She said as she gave me a small smile. Suddenly we heard someone enter. We fell silent, knowing we made a single sound it would give away our camouflage. "I'll go check the upstairs and you go check the hall next door to the one I'll go down. She has to be in one of those." Said a man.
Suddenly I heard the pitter-patter of two people running upstairs until they stopped. They stopped when they saw that your wings were glowing and they were on fire. They stopped when they saw you. "(F-f/n)... Are you alright? What did these people do to you?"asked Dagger. "(F/n) please come back to the circus with us. Joker is headed our way. We have to hurry" said beast.
As soon as she mentioned your brother you fell to the floor and lost the power of flight temporarily. In an instant they came running towards you to help you. "Phoenix, what's wrong?"asked Dagger as he picked you up and started to hug you. The servants merely watched. They had no idea that you were related to them and they finally realized what you were going through, so they ceased fire;Only for a moment. You were trembling and crying; holding onto your other brother as tight as you could and he did the same for you.
"B-big brother…. Jokers dead. He was killed e-earlier and I had to watch helplessly. Despite the fact I'm a doctor I couldn't save him." You sobbed. "I'm sorry. I've failed as a sister. I am supposed to protect you, but instead I joined the Phantomhive household. To try to protect the ones I love." You said as you went over to the Gardener, the maid, and The chef. "I've chosen this life. I don't want to fight you, but it's my only chance of living. I'm sorry I've never told you who I really am, but my young master already knows. He said he will protect me. I know I said I would protect you, but now I can't. I'm sorry." "Phoenix why did you do this?" Asked Beast. She seemed almost as sad as Dagger was. It hurt you to see them both like this since you cared for them. "I-I just wanted to save you. I know it was wishful thinking. I just hope you can forgive me one day." You said. "Phoenix I know you love Smile, and he loves you and I will most likely perish tonight, so the only thing I can do is accept it." Said Dagger.
"Thank you." You said in a whisper. When you looked to the side you and Baldroy were the only two servants who were standing there. The others went back to their stations and continued the fight and ceased the temporary cease fire. "Thank you, Baldroy." You said; not daring to look at him. "We've been expecting the two of you for quite a while now." Said Baldroy. "What do you mean?" Asked Beast. "Well a little mockingbird told us that you would be coming soon and that we needed to be ready." Said Baldroy.
In an instant their eyes snapped their gaze from Baldroy to you. "Phoenix… H-h-how could you?!" Asked Beast. "I-" you started. "(f/n)... I never thought you'd do this. I can't believe I actually believed you were as innocent as you seemed, but to go to the lengths of betrayal is just low." Said Dagger. "I didn't want to start this war. I never wanted to be apart of it, but I wanted to save you. I also wanted to live. I wanted to love. I never thought anyone would love me besides the circus, but then I found Ciel. I wanted to save you, but I also wanted to live myself. I had to risk it all. I failed…" you said as the tears started streaming down your face.
All of a sudden Dagger threw his knives at Baldroy. "Give us our sister back! I want my sister back!" He yelled. Your eyes widened as you noticed Dagger was starting to tear up. Suddenly Beast launched at Baldroy. "She's the newest Phantomhive servant. I'm afraid we can't give her back. She not just a servant. No, the young master has bigger plans." Said Baldroy. "Leave. Spare yourself. I don't want to fight you." You said as you paused to sniffle. " I care about you too much big brother." "NO! Not until you come back with us." Said Dagger. "I'm afraid that won't happen. We are not letting go. I'm told she has great skills like you." Said Baldroy. "Finny! Mey-rin! Show them what happens when you try to capture a Phantomhive."
Suddenly You looked up and saw Finny next to a statue and Mey-rin with a statue. "Here… we...GO!" Said Finny as he lifted up the statue and threw it at Beast and Dagger. "Don't hurt them!" You yelled as you were about to protect them, but were stopped by Baldroy. "Stay here. We can't let you get hurt." He said. "But I need to protect my brother. He's the only actual family I have left!" You yelled. "I'm sorry, but he has wronged the queen and so he has to die." Said Baldroy. You couldn't speak. You were trembling and you were too sad to speak.
Suddenly the battle started. You were left where you were unable to move. You felt like your feet were permanently glued to the floor as you watched your only sibling left fight. Dagger threw his blades at the boy with strawberry blonde hair and a hat. The maid with the guns on the other hand saved him by shooting the knives which caused them to stray off their path and fall to the floor. That left Beast to fight Baldroy. She stuck him with a blow to his wrist. Soon she used her whip and got it onto the chandelier. She swung from it, grabbed you and Dagger followed behind.
"Hey! She has the girl! After her, but make sure she isn't injured!" Said Baldroy. They ran into a hallway that seemed quite long. Before you knew it Dagger was carrying you on his back and he was still running for what they knew as the target. "We've got our sister! Let's just leave!" Said Dagger. "No. We have to get to the target." Said Beast. "Okay, but did you ever think something was odd? I mean the way the people keep talking about Phoenix? Do you think she's the target? The new fiance?" Asked Dagger. "Maybe. Let's just check anyway." Said Beast. Dagger looked at you from over his shoulder and noticed that you were unconscious. "Don't worry, sis. It'll be all over in due time." Said Dagger as he kept a tight hold on you; not letting anyone take you away from him.
Suddenly Beast opened a door and that caused a bell to ring. "It's a bloody trap!" Shouted Beast. "Run for it!" Said Dagger. Suddenly you woke up, but you were still too weak to walk. You used all of your power to protect Joker and Dagger. You were wary and it made you too weak to even fly. When they rounded a corner they came face to face with the maid with hand guns. "Set, The girl down. She's a Phantomhive now." Said the maid. "No. She's our sister. We are not letting her go." Said Dagger. "Fine. You leave me no choice." Said the maid. "Dagger! Get back and keep (f/n) safe." Said Beast. "What about you sis? I don't want anymore bloodshed!" You yelled. "I'll be alright, just get back."she said.
Then she used her whip and grabbed a painting and threw it at the maid. She shot some bullet at you all, but the bullets shattered the glass and destroyed the painting. The maid kept shooting until she ran out of bullets. Then Dagger threw some knives at the maid, but missed because she went around a corner. When she was putting more bullets in her gun your right arm was hit with a stray bullet which caused you to yell in pain. Blood leaked from the flesh wound in your arm. You held your hand over the wound to stop the bleeding, but it keep going. Luckily the bullet was not lodged in your arm, but it still caused a wound.
"Phoenix!" Cried Dagger once he saw that you were injured. "I am so sorry! I should have been more careful!" "No… It's my fault. I was the one who got you into all of this." You said "You shouldn't be apologizing." Suddenly as they rounded the next hallway they stopped. You saw something in the distance moving and whoever it was, was carrying statues. "I found the vermon and the missing Fian- I mean servant!" Said the gardener as he came down the hallway with statues. "Bloody hell! Not this guy again!" Said Dagger as he watched and waited for him to get ready. As he did he set you down knowing that you were losing blood he set you in a safe place. Or so he thought.
When the gardener threw the statues Dagger and Beast escaped, but when they grabbed you after they made a run for it you got hit with the statue. The statue hit your right arm once more which caused it to break. You let out another cry of agony which echoed through the manor. "Sorry miss!" Said the gardener. "I-I-It's… o-okay." You lied to him. You started to cry from all the pain that was coursing through your right arm. More blood started flowing from the wound which caused your efforts to stop the flow to go in vain.
When you took the corner you fell down stairs which made your arm feel even worse. "M-My arm…" you said. It was so low it was almost a whisper. You were growing extremely weak and you wished Ciel was there to protect you, but you knew full well he wasn't there to help. "I am so sorry you have to suffer Phoenix." Said Dagger as he picked you back up bridal style, but held you even tighter than before. "Please don't leave us…" said the gardener. Once more the wild goose chase started and you were not yet out of the woods. When Beast noticed you were trembling she gave you the scarf that belonged to Joker. She knew how much you needed it. It was one of your only things you have left of him.
When the gardener attacked them with more statues all you could do is look from behind and watch everything shatter and break. You saw the gardener catch your stare and you instantly saw the guilt in his eyes. He truly did feel bad about making you go through all of this and he hated to hear your cries of pure anguish that echoed through the mansion. He especially felt bad about making your injury worse. You watched as all the rubble and the gardener disappear from view once Dagger carried you down the stairs again.
"Are you alright?" Asked Beast and Dagger once they thought they were safe. "Y-yeah. I-I'm just fine." You said as you tried to hide the pain. They both saw right through you. You tried to not make them worry even more than they had, but you knew just by lying it was just making things worse, so you didn't say anything else. "This place is so strange and not in a good way. We need to get you out of here before you lose any more blood Phoenix." Said Dagger. He tore off a piece of his costume and wrapped it around your wound, hoping it would help.
"That child has to be here somewhere. I just know it." Said Beast as she tried to help stop the bleeding in any way she could. "I don't think he's here. It's a day's travel from London to get here." Said Dagger as he kept going down the stairs carefully while carrying you. "I'm sorry you've had to go through all of this, Phoenix. We should go and find Peter and Wendy. They are probably still on the roof if I know anything." "Y-You can't do that. P-Peter and Wendy a-are dead." You said as you remembered killing Peter. You felt very bad about doing it, but it was your duty, and he was awfully rude to you, but you still felt bad.
When they went down a hallway they found a light at the end of it, so they decided to go into the room. When they peaked inside the chef saw them and he also saw you. "Bloody hell! The young master is going to be so mad! We let his fi- servant get severely injured. We're dead for sure!" Said the chef as he went and tried to pry you out of Dagger's arms. Dagger wouldn't let him do that though. "No! Stay away from 'er! She's been through too much. I can't lose her too!" insisted Dagger as he tried to keep you in his arms.
Soon Dagger lost you to the chef who helped you with your wounds and continued talking to Dagger and Beast. "This is your final destination before you meet your maker you know. The kitchen." Said the chef. "W-W-What? No… I-I love my b-big brother and sister t-too much to lose t-them." You said. It was nearly above a whisper, yet everyone still heard it. "I'm sorry princess, but they must die. I am sorry you have had to go through this." Said the chef as he continued trying to stop the blood flow. "You know you shouldn't get too full of yourself, coming at us without weapons. You might get undone!" Said Beast as Dagger threw some knives at the chef. "You're wrong. I have weapons that even our butler doesn't know about." Said the chef as he held up a bowl to stop the knives from hitting him.
Once he held off the knives for long enough he ran over to something covered with a blanket and took it off the mysterious object. Once he did so the object in question turned out to be a machine gun. "Oh gosh. I-I've seen one of t-those in the United S-States. Those things are d-dangerous as hell, but don't have good accuracy." You said. "Quite right miss! Let's do this." He said as he started shooting at Dagger and Beast. "As the young master's new servant stated this thing in fact from the states and is dangerous as hell." He explained. "This thing has revolutionized the ways of war. It has changed the way war is and was!"
Soon Dagger leaped forward and protected Beast while risking his own life to do so. You watched them from behind the chef and decided that you would also put your life at risk to save them too. You got up shakily and ran towards them with your wings ablaze knowing that if the anger kept flowing they would burn the bullets upon impact. "You know you're getting the highest form of Phantomhive treatment. I hope your enjoying your special meal." Said the chef until he realized that you were protecting them with your powers he was stunned and he could see how much you really did love your family. "What are you doing?! Are you alright miss?!" Asked the chef once he saw he was hitting you instead of your brother and sister.
Sadly your fire wasn't bright enough and you did get hit with some of the bullets. "Phoenix!" Yelled Beast suddenly you couldn't stand anymore. You fell to your knees and you started losing blood rapidly. "Phoenix! Why did you do this?!" Asked Beast once she saw you were bleeding even more and you were on the ground in pain. She noticed that she wasn't injured at all and that you had taken all of the bullets that were meant for them. "I-I love you sis. I care about y-you. I want you to live. P-promise me you w-will." You said. "Not until I know you will be okay!" She said. "I-I will live. I want to k-know that you will though. I'm inhuman. I can't d-die this easily. Don't die. Live for D-Dagger, J-Joker and all the lives lost today. Please." You begged. "Okay." she said.
"D-Dagger!" Beast yelled as she realized that he was dying. "Stay alive. Please Dagger!" "Dagger! Why did you take these bullets for me? Why? Tell me…" said Beast. "I'm so happy your ok." Said Dagger. Then he looked over and noticed you were bleeding even more than before. "Phoenix! Are you going to survive?! Why did you do this for us?!" Asked Dagger. "Save your breath and stay alive… Please. I did this because I love you." You said. "Please… Get out of here… Run… be free and live." Said Dagger. "Why would you both do this for me? Your lives are so important to me." Said Beast.
-flashback-
Suddenly he had a flashback of when you, beast, and himself were in the east end. He was very little and had brown hair and the same shining green eyes. You were even smaller, still had your wings, but were still quite small, you had your (H/c) hair, and your same sparkling (e/c) eyes that sparkled with hope for a better life. "I got two!" You yelled as you came running from the bakery. "They're fresh and it's a whole loaf!" "Good job! I always knew you'd blow us all alway like this." Said Joker as you ran up and gave him a hug. "Big brother! Big sister! I got you a pastry too!" You said as you held out a pastry for them. Suddenly the baker came running after you. "Aw fudge!" You yelled as you ran away. Soon you held your hands behind your back, snapped your fingers and set him on fire. "You're the best little sister a guy can ever wish for." Said Dagger as he gave you a hug.
When he was done hugging you he noticed you had a giant gash on the side of your head that your bangs covered. "What happened?!" He asked. "I-I have no idea what your talking about…" you stammered. "I know you know what I mean. He deserved dying. I'm glad he did. No one hurts my family and gets away with it." Said Beast as she hugged you and stroked your hair careful to avoid the mark. "If anyone ever tries to do this again, I promise I'll give them a what for and then help you get better, ok?" " Ok. Thanks." You said. "I love you guys so much."
-end of flashback-
"I… wanted to… Take you over… the hills…" said Dagger as he started to cry. You had never seen him cry and it made your heart shatter once more. This time there was no one who could help. No one could save him. He was beyond saving and it killed you to admit it. "I… love… you… both." Soon he took his final breath and his breathing faltered. The last thing he saw was you crying without realizing the tears were streaming down your face. He started to reach out to wipe them away, and once his hand touched your face he was able to wipe away your tears. Soon it dropped from your face, and at that moment you knew he had perished. "Dagger!" You and Beast screamed.
Your eyes turned white and started to glow and your wings were set ablaze once more. You screamed and it echoed through the whole house. It was a heart wrenching scream and it echoed through the whole house. When the servants looked outside they saw that the fire made a symbol. The symbol was a Phoenix with an arrow through it's chest. It represented you and your heartbreak. When your screaming faltered Beast looked at you and noticed that your bullet holes were gone, but what was left were scars, but your arm still bled.
"Phoenix… I'm sorry you had to see this. Don't worry. I will get my revenge on this man tonight." Said Beast as she turned and looked at the chef who was staring at you and the sight he had just witnessed. " YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" She yelled as she tried to hit the man with her whip. The chef dodged her ever strike. He used the flour bag that was near him and caused her to hit it instead. "Don't think you can get away! Trust me you won't escape. You'll pay for what you've done to Dagger and Phoenix!" Said Beast as she kept trying to whip him.
"Finnian go!" Said the chef. Suddenly he threw a statue through the side of the house and it barely missed you. When Beast was still shielding herself the chef ran and brought you out of the home through the hole that the gardener Finnian created. "I warned you. The kitchen holds its secrets." Said the chef as he gave you to Finnian who held onto you as he tried to protect you. "One of these secrets is finely ground flammable powder." Said the chef. "When you have a good balance with the air and the powder it will ignite. Some even consider it to be an explosive you hear of the flour mill accident in Minnesota that killed eighteen men?" "Aye. I have. I was there with Father because he took Joker and I on business. It was a terrible sight. I watched the city burned. I saw the dreams like ashes float away. I didn't hear a single voice. Only silence." You said once you were finally able to speak.
Sudden Beast widened her eyes in shock. "Phoenix please! Please save me!" She yelled. "I want you to be happy. Don't you want to be with Dagger and Joker?" You asked. "I do, but I want to live! I love you, little sis. I want to be with you." She said. "There's nothing I can do to stop this from happening. I would if I could, but I can't." You said as you turned away again.
When you did you were embraced by the gardener. He didn't want you to see the wretched sight that was about to happen, so he hugged you. "Don't worry, Phoenix. It'll be over in no time… just don't look." Said the gardener. "O-Okay." You said as you hugged him back. "I'm sorry for what you have to go through, but it'll only get better. Trust me." He said. You knew what was going on behind you, but you dared not to turn and face it. You heard the sound of Baldroy striking a match. Within a minute the side of the house exploded, and it caused you and the gardener to fall.
When you got up you saw the ashes that flew away like lost dreams. You saw the raging flames that made you feel like you were home, but they also made you feel like you had lost everything you once held dear. You started to get teary eyed, and started to weep. When you wept you were embraced by the gardener, the maid, and the chef. They did their best to comfort you and tried to calm you down. Soon once you were finally able to calm down they let you go and you got up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Asked the gardener. "The young master asked me to go to him once the job was done. He only gave me an hour so I best be off." You said. "Miss, your arm's still bleeding, yes it is. You can't go to him like that." Said the maid. "What do you suggest I do?" You asked. "I can't be late for the young master or he will think I'm dead. That's what I told him. I told him if I wasn't back in an hour I was dead." You said. "Well at least let us bandage it." Said the chef once he pulled out some bandage out of one of his pockets. Once he was done you instantly flew off to meet Ciel where he was waiting for you.
-Ciel's pov-
I have been in my townhouse pacing nervously for at least 50 minutes. I have been worried out of my mind for the health of Phoenix. I have been especially worried about what she had to go through. While I was looking out the window I looked out and noticed all the stars in the sky. They reminded me of how happy your eyes shined when you were performing. They reminded me of when you were with your brother and you were practicing with me. While I was gazing up at the sky I hardly noticed that Sebastian had come in. "Young master, there is someone here to see you." Said Sebastian. "Why would anyone be out at this late hour?" I asked. "I wouldn't know my lord." Said sebastian.
When Sebastian opened the door I noticed someone walking towards the door of the manor. They slowly walked closer and closer. Soon I could make out who it was. It as Phoenix. I soon noticed she was holding her arm and I noticed it was bandaged. "My lady what happened?" Asked Sebastian once you got to the front steps. "It was awful… I would rather not talk about it." said Phoenix once she started remembering the events of that night. I could make out that she was in a lot of pain, so when I embraced her I made sure not to hurt her.
"Phoenix, thank goodness you're alright." I said. I was so happy that she was alive and okay. Once she was back in my embrace she started to cry. "Y-you're all I have left. Please don't leave me." She said once she started to sob. "Don't worry. I will never leave." I said. "I had to witness all of my childhood friends and my own family die. Promise me you won't go like they did." She said. "I promise. I will be there no matter what happens." I said once I picked her up bridal style and carried her to the main room where she was swarmed with questions by Prince Soma.
"Phoenix! I'm so glad you're back! You had me so worried when Ciel told me what you were doing." Said Soma once he hugged her tight. "I-I'm fine. Really." She said once she hugged soma back. "Why are you crying? I know you're lying Phoenix! Tell us what actually happened." Said soma. She told us every detail, not forgetting a single word. "And then I flew most of the way home, until I collapsed on the front lawn." She said as she looked away. "Ciel why did you have her do that?! She's fragile! Don't you think making her fight her brothers is too extreme." Asked Prince Soma. "She requested to go there so she could see her brothers one more time. And she didn't fight from what I'm told. She fought a bit, but not much." Said Ciel. Before I knew everyone left my room where we were talking and Phoenix was hugging me and she was asleep peacefully in my embrace. "I will never leave your side, love. May your sleep be peaceful and your dreams be pleasant. Goodnight, Phoenix." I said as I started to fall asleep as well.
