The reaper set off in flash; scythe in hand. He leapt across roofs, checked every alley, and hoped anything red would appear. William searched every location where the demon may have taken his vampire. So far, William had no luck as to finding Grell. The reaper was getting nervous. Sebastian was royally pissed off; god knows what he'd do.
Finally, the stoic man traveled to Phantomhive Manor. The huge manor was quite regal, but it repulsed William. The mansion was nothing more than an obstacle to obtaining Grell; an obstacle he would defeat.
As William approached the front doors, he noticed that one of the door knobs was broken off. The reaper simply pushed the door open; the door fell out of its hinges. What on earth has happened here? The reaper thought when a sick feeling began to fester in his stomach. The ravenette crept through the mansion, which appeared to be abandoned.
"Hello? Earl Phantomhive?" William called out. The response was only his echoing voice, "Grell?" William beckoned softly. This time, a menacing laugh rang throughout the house.
"Now, that's the name you should've been calling all along!" a demonic voice laughed,"He is your beloved after all, isn't he?" the voice mocked. William growled.
"WILLIAM!" Grell's strangled cry broke through the constant laughter. William's eyes widened and his heart raced.
"Grell!" The reaped cried out. William didn't know what direction to run in to find his Grell. Instead, the two came to him.
Sebastian came striding out; Grell at his side. The vampire was shaking like a leaf and looking at William with fear.
"Mr. Spears, so glad you could finally join us. Now the real fun can begin!" Sebastian said coyly. William grit his teeth as he glared at the demon.
"Give me Grell," William commanded. Sebastian wrapped his arm around Grell's waist and smirked, "Don't touch Grell,"
"I may touch what's mine," The demon said rather happily. William extended his scythe just to the base of Sebastian's neck.
"Why must you insist he is yours? Grell does not belong to you!" William shouted. Then without further hesitation, the scythe pierced Sebastian's neck. Blood gushed from the wound and drenched the demon's clothes. Sebastian started to spit and cough up crimson, "Grell! Get away!" William warned, but the vampire couldn't move. The hold the demon had on Grell was too powerful. So when the demon came crashing down, as did Grell.
Blood pooled around the demon and seeped onto Grell. His favorite color…it looks dreadful on him this way… William thought. He would not allow Grell to ever look this way again; so helpless and lost.
The reaper ran over and ripped Grell from Sebastian's arm. Grell curled up to William's side and whimpered like a child. As the vampire cried, the demon got back gash in his pale flesh healed; a deadly gaze in his pink eyes.
"William T. Spears, you bloody fool…" Sebastian spoke softly. At that moment, Sebastian transformed. A black-green shadow loomed around the raven demon and black feathers floated to the floor. In seconds, thick wings grew out of Sebastian's back; they were darker than midnight. Sebastian smirked, showing off sharp fangs.
The sight terrified Grell to the center of his existence. The redhead clung to William for dear life. In response, the reaper ran hand through the vermillion locks.
"Will…I'm scared," Grell whispered.
"Don't be scared, it's going to be alright," William whispered back. Meanwhile, Sebastian's transformation was complete. He was clad in black, his pink feline eye shone, and his white fangs glistened.
"How sweet this is. Mr. Spears, speaking his last words to his lover; charming," The demon chuckled. William had enough of this; it was going to end now.
In seconds the reaper extended his scythe once again, this time it was aimed for Sebastian's head. However, before the blade broke flesh, the demon caught the metal rod in his hand. His black claws held the scythe in a vice grip and smirked. Sebastian ripped the scythe from its original path and flung it behind him; dragging William along with flew back with his scythe and watched Grell cower.
The reaper stopped himself fromhitting the wall, and bounced back. On the other hand, Sebastian was too preoccupied with taunting Grell that he didn't even notice that William got back up.
"Grell Phillip Sutcliff, why are you so afraid?" Sebastian asked. The demon still had that evil smirk glued tohis face.
"Don't speak to him," William growled. The reaper snuck up behind the demon and held his scythe to Sebastian's throat, "You have no right," the stoic man pressed the blade of his scythe harshly against the pale throat of the demon.
"Why can't you get this through your thick skull?" Sebastian hissed. The demon turned without warning and sent a knee into William's abdomen, "Grell is mine," the reaper's breath was knocked out and he crashed to the ground, gasping for air. Grell cried out and ran to William.
"Will, are you alright? I'm sorry this happened! I'm so sorry Will!" Grell uttered through sobs. The vampire's gold eyes lined with tears and his lip quivered. William sat up and cupped Grell's cheek.
"I'm okay Grell, please don't cry. I need you to be strong right now," William barely said. The vampire nodded and kissed William's forehead. Grell looked over his shoulder at the demon. He hurt William, he will pay, Grell thought. The redhead stood up and took adeep breath.
"Sebastian, this is between you and me. William has nothing to do with this," Grell said with all the strength he could muster.
"It's about time you fought your own battle," Sebastian replied suavely. William struggled back to his feet and placed his hands on Grell's shoulders.
Please don't, I can do this. I need to protect you," William whispered into Grell's ear. Grell sighed heavily and shook his head.
"No Will, I have to do this. I can't let you fight my own war. Please let me do this," Grell said. It was more a statement then it was a question. William dropped his head stepped back.
"Don't worry Spears, I'll make this quick," Sebastian cut in with confidence. The redhead snarled and let his eyes plunge into darkness. His itty bitty fangs grew long and sharp, "There she is, my creation," Sebastian applauded. Then the brawl began.
Grell lunged at Sebastian, claws demon leapt out of the way and elbowed Grell in the back, sending him to the floor. The vampire hit the ground with a thud, but quickly rolled out of the way of Sebastian's next attack. Grell jumped back onto his feet and took a defensive position. Sebastian whipped around to face Grell.
"I will kill you for what you've done to me; for what you've done to William," Grell warned. His voice had sunk once again to an eerie demonic one. Grell let out a deafening howl and hurtled towards the demon. The vampire sunk his fangs into Sebastian's shoulder and pushed venom into his blood stream; the demon groaned in agony. Grell pulled back and looked fiercely at Sebastian; the demon clutched his shoulder and sunk to his knees.
"Grell…" William mumbled. He loathed seeing Grell like this, so out of character. Grell snapped his head around to look at William. The reaper's eyes widened at the sight of the redhead's face. His ruby lips were stained black with the demon's blood; his golden eyes were darker than ever before; everything looked twisted, "Oh Grell," William sighed. The vampire responded with an audible grunt and turned back to Sebastian.
The demon had regained his footing and the venom had worn out. Sebastian expanded his large black wings and stared at Grell.
"Not bad," Sebastian muttered. Before anyone could even blink, the demon stood over Grell, "But not good enough," then the demon plunged his hand into Grell's chest. Grell let out the most blood curtailing scream William had ever heard. The reaper watched blood spew from his beloved's chest.
"GRELL! NO!" William charged Sebastian, but was pushed aside like nothing.
"No, not just yet," The demon laughed. Sebastian's smirk grew wide and his eyes widened; creating an insane expression,"There it is," The demon wrapped his fingers around Grell's beating heart and ripped it out of his chest. The redhead froze. His mouth agape, his black eyes broad; his whole body came to a halt. Sebastian held the bright red organ in his hands, it was still beating, but it slowly started to lessen. Sebastian was grinning like a mad man; Grell was as white as a ghost. The dark eyes of the vampire slowly shifted to William, whom was in shock.
"W-Will…" The vampire , the redhead fell to the ground like a stone. William bolted to Grell and pulled his beloved into his lap. The reaper brushed the red strands of hair from his face and closed his eyes. William squeezed them tight, hoping he would wake up from a nightmare. Although when he opened them, Grell was still limp in his arms.
"Grell, I'm sorry I didn't protect you," William apologized. Grell managed a weak smile and moved his hand toWilliam's cheek.
"It's o-ok…William, I-I'm not g-going to make it…," Grell told him. William held Grell tighter and shook his head.
"No, you'll be fine. I'll get you to the infirmary and make them help you," William fumbled. Grell sighed and then coughed.
"W-William…I can't l-live much l-longer without a h-heart, even…even t-though…I'm already dead…" Grell breathed. A tear rolled down William's face and dripped down onto Grell'scheek, "I love you William…" and after that, Grell's eyes slowly began to close.
"No, Grell! Wake up! Grell! Grell! No, please Grell! NO! GRELL!" William begged. He gently shook the redhead's shoulders, but to no avail. Tears dripped from William's face onto Grell's, "I'm so sorry Grell, I'm so sorry,"
"Oh what a shame," The demon cackled. William's eyes shot open and he clenched his teeth.
"YOU! YOU KILLED HIM!" William laid Grell's body down and attacked Sebastian. The reaper lost his mind and stabbed Sebastian constantly. Blood sprayed everywhere and it covered William. HE TOOK MY EVERYTHING! William thought furiously.
After the brutal murder of Sebastian, William took Grell to the Undertaker. Maybe he could do something, anything. If Undertaker couldn't do anything...there would no longer be a William T. Spears
Hello! Sorry this is a little late! It's been a sucky week for me. Anyway, here it is! Don't get your panties in a twist, Grell doesn't die! They still have to deal the association, duh! Reviews please! Thank you!
