Chapter 3

Lily

Lily looked amusingly at the expression of the tall, handsome man she had just danced with.

She had immediately noticed when he first laid his eyes on her, taking in her appearance. She knew that she stood out, as she was wearing her favorite color: green. Everyone at the brothel, even the guests knew that green was Lily's color. Amongst the clusters of red, black, blue and white, Lily had been the only one to wear her color, setting her apart from the others.

This, of course, meant that to a newcomer Lily would almost immediately catch his eyes, which also was the purpose. Lily wasn't afraid to admit she liked the attention other people showed her, after all she was a beautiful being.

Yet, despite meeting new people every day, she would only rarely consider others to be beautiful, even as beautiful as her. But she had to admit that this tall stranger was incredibly handsome, and he was used to women. He was definitely not a first-timer, Lily concluded.

Along with that thought, Lily had also seen what he truly was, despite his human appearance.

A demon.

A small trill of excitement and fear went through her, as she wondered whether he had seen through her, as she had with him.

Standing on her toes to reach the man's ear, she whispered to him,

"Why don't you come along, so we can find you a suitable one for the night?"

She purposely left out naming any sort of gender, after all some people preferred the boys over the girls.

"Oh, I'm unfortunately not the one to seek entertainment tonight" the male demon said, "It's my nephew."

Lily almost snorted at the last comment, however at the last minute she stopped herself. He didn't know that she knew that he was a demon. Well, of course, demons were in fact able to have nephews and cousins and etc. However it was quite rare to know with certainty which demon was truly a part of another demon's family.

Lily nodded her head, and hand in hand the two found the "nephew" dancing with a young girl in a dark-blue dress.

Lily slightly stiffened at seeing the two young ones, however she chose to ignore it.

When she saw who the girl was, Lily's eyes widened.

"Jade! Did I not tell you that you aren't allowed here?! It isn't until next year, you are to start doing these sorts of jobs." Lily almost roared at the young girl.

"Eep! Madam! You're mistaken, you haven't seen me tonight," Jade exclaimed surprised, quickly letting go of the boy's hands, before she escaped into the crowd of people.

"Damn that girl," Lily cursed, before regaining her manner in front of the demon and his "nephew".

Smiling at them, Lily said,

"How about we go inside a private room to discuss arrangements?" before she walked through a side door, leading to a corridor. She didn't look back to see, if they followed. Only after reaching a staircase, leading up, did she turn around to check on her special guests. The corridors were well-light, allowing Lily to finally take in the appearance of the man and the young boy.

And what a sight they were.

They had both at some point discarded their masks, which allowed Lily to truly see their faces.

The young boy had dark navy-blue hair. His left eye was blue, while his right was covered by an eye patch. He wore clothes that definitely showed he came from a wealthy family.

To be honest, Lily admitted to herself, if he had been older, she would definitely have gone after him. He would be a real heart-breaker in a couple of years.

The male demon was tall, which Lily had realized right away, or maybe she was just short. He had beautiful black hair and penetrating red eyes.

Unconsciously Lily licked her full lips.

Yet, despite the demon's beautiful human appearance, Lily still felt a vague familiarity with the demon, there was something, but she just couldn't put her finger on it…but no, it couldn't be, Lily concluded.

"Well then, how about we go upstairs?" Lily asked.

While they walked down a corridor, the demon introduced them as Sebastian and Ciel. Lily knew that some people did not wish to reveal their family names, and she respected that. At least for now.

They passed several rooms, Lily opening each one, seeing if it was occupied or not. All were. Passing each room Lily opened the door, revealing people fucking in positions other people might not have thought possible. But then again this was Lily, the Madam of the Daemon Brothel. If anything she would claim she had invented these positions.

Finally the trio made it to the last room in the hallway.

"This room has to be empty," Lily muttered, before swinging the door open, letting all three of them peer inside the room. Unfortunately she was wrong.

Tied to the bed was a naked man, somewhere around his mid-thirties. Above him hovered a naked woman with brown hair, a whip in her hand.

"Mr. Farmwood!" Lily exclaimed, "I thought you had set your eyes on Alexander, not Rosalyn!"

Ciel wrinkled his nose in disgust, whether it was at Lily's comment or the scene before him, no one knew, maybe both.

"Well," the tied up man chuckled, "Alexander is my favorite, but he proposed to me that maybe I should try out something new."

"And we all know who the obvious choice is then," the naked brunette added, "it's been written down too."

Lily pulled out a small note from a pocket somewhere on her dress. She quickly checked it through and gave a swift nod.

"You're right. I just haven't noticed then." Her eyes narrowed, when she saw how much Farmwood had paid.

"Rosalyn, remember to make Mr. Farmwood pay the extra fee for the S/M. It seems he has only paid for the regular course." Lily said to the brunette, before she turned around, walking back to the stair case the trio had earlier ascended.

Sebastian and Ciel stayed behind, but followed Lily, when they saw Rosalyn whipping Farmwood and he let out a loud moan.

Ciel shivered, the bad sort of shivering, he really couldn't stand this place.

After walking around the whore-house for around 10 minutes, Lily finally found an empty room. This very room was considered the master suite in the mansion. Only the richest of the richest could afford it, and therefore it was not often used. Lily looked around, taking in the dust surrounding the bed and other furniture.

She huffed before going over to pull the curtains back, allowing some moonlight into the room. Afterwards she lit a single candle that she placed on a small coffee table before taking a seat in a dusty couch. The other two sat in an equally dusty couch opposite her.

For a while nothing was said, and Lily thought the situation through. Should she play along, or confront them?

Still deep in thought, Lily didn't hear Sebastian's inquirer. It wasn't until he went over and shook her shoulder that she slapped away his hand in surprise and thereby returned from her thoughts.

"Why exactly are you here?" Lily asked. Who cared about subtlety, Lily wanted to get through with this, and maybe these two would actually be able to help.

In that instant it hit her. Hard.

Lily recognized both of them, she was amazed she even knew Ciel, however she remembered him, vaguely but it was there. She refused to think about Sebastian, and focused her attention on the boy.

"Well, as you probably know, we're here to enjoy being young and rich," Sebastian smiled.

Lily snorted,

"Don't you dare give me that crap! I'm asking what the hell the Queen's Watchdog is doing here, other than failing at gaining the attention of a few girls," she said, annoyed at them and herself.

Ciel smiled at her, the kind of predatory smile that often adored Lily's own face. He folded his hands in his lap and crossed one leg over the other.

"Well, if you know who we are, you should also know why we're here," Ciel told her. Meanwhile Sebastian had placed himself behind his master.

"I do understand that there are some…circumstances regarding my brothel. However I do not understand why a demon has to be involved. You do realize this is a violation of the demonic laws about the Succubi, regarding their feeding and living habits." Lily shot back at him, not wanting to lose, despite revealing knowledge others were not supposed to know.

Ciel looked up at Sebastian in mild surprise. He had not known there even existed laws for demons. The question was then: How did this woman know?

"So you know that there are demons living in your brothel?" Sebastian asked, usually the Succubi would not reveal themselves as what they truly were, instead they would simply be the best of the prostitutes at the brothel. Yet this woman seemed to know that there were demons in her brothel and even seemed not to mind.

Lily huffed and then nodded.

"How could I not know, after all I…" Lily stopped. She looked at bit shocked, as if she had been about to say something, she wasn't supposed to.

For a second an eerie silence appeared, then Lily somehow seemed to change.

"If you show me yours, I'll show you mine," Lily said playfully. At first Ciel didn't understand until she pointed to her own right eye.

"If you already know it's there, why should I show you?" he asked. For some reason he couldn't quite grab this woman's character. One minute she was all serious and dark, the next she seemed somewhat playful and excited.

Sighing, Ciel reached behind his head to undo the bow. As the eye patch fell from his face, the Faustian Contract, a pentagram within a circle, was revealed. Lily smiled smugly at him, as she saw this.
"You're a greedy one, aren't you?" She said.

However the next moment her deep blue eyes turned purple and revealed a Faustian Contract in each of her eyes.

Ciel gasped, while Sebastian paled slightly. They both quickly composed themselves, as Lily's eyes returned to normal.

"What are you?" Ciel finally asked after a while.

"I don't have to answer to that," Lily countered. "But I do wish for your help concerning the recent murders. Believe me, when I say that we, here at the brothel, don't have anything to do with these murders. There's someone out there, killing these men…and now my girls, my family and I wish to stop him." Lily continued. She took a deep breath and decided to make a gamble with her knowledge on the line.

"If you do help me, I will tell you everything I knew about your father, Vincent Phantomhive."

Ciel's eyes widened slightly at this statement, however he quickly retorted,

"And how will I know you actually tell me the truth?"

"You won't," Lily answered truthfully, "Whether you decide to believe my words is all up to you. I will tell you what I know, but in the end it's your choice to believe me or not. So do we have a deal? Will you help me find the real murder in exchange for gaining knowledge about your father, or not?"

Ciel thought about it, the only thing he was sure of was that this woman could not be trusted. She had revealed secrets about herself, yet she had not explained anything. Still, Ciel couldn't help the little spark of excitement, when he had heard her mention his father.

"Give me a day to consider your offer, and we shall return tomorrow," Ciel said. Lily nodded, as he rose.

"Ask the girl at the front door for me, and she will let you in immediately," Lily added. She stayed seated, when Ciel and Sebastian walked out the door, eventually leaving the brothel.

Lily sighed as soon as the two had exited the room.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!

Finally she gave in and hit herself in the head a couple of times, ruining her hair. She'd said too much.

How could she be so stupid?

No changing what's already been done, she thought while she got up from the couch. She grimaced at the dust spots on her dress, before angrily hitting them to try to get the dirt off her.

The fifth, or maybe it was sixth, time she hit the dress, a sudden explosion threw Lily to the ground.

The last thing, she saw, was the ceiling coming down at her, before darkness overtook her.

Another chapter finished...I've noticed that the chapters have slowly become longer, which is a good thing, I think

I'll try to update the next chapter faster, however it depends on both my Muse and the internet -.-'
