"Claude" William said coldly. Said demon pulled his glasses from his breast pocket and placed them on the bridge of his nose.
"William T. Spears, it's been awhile," Claude stated. The reaper growled.
"What is going on here?" William demanded. Sebastian smirked and held Grell tighter.
"William, isn't it obvious? We're simply here take care of business," Sebastian answered smoothly.
"What business do you have with Grell and I? What sick game are you playing?" William questioned, "Why is Claude in disguise as a higher up?"
"Mr. Spears, Sebastian and I have had this plan devised for quite some time now. You see Grell had always been Sebastian's way, as for you. Well, you made feeding for demons a challenge," Claude started.
"We decided to rid you both. Though when we heard you two had become a mated pair, we decided to make it a game," Sebastian added. The two demons looked at each other and shared a laugh, "I made the first move and turned Grell into a vampire, causing great change in your lifestyles. We knew the association would interfere, which was all the better. The plan had been going better than expected! So I toyed with Grell for a bit; essentially screwing with you, Spears," The raven grinned.
"Yes. When one of the association's higher ups stepped in, it distracted you from our plan. It was even better when Mr. Edward Masterson was rather drastic. The association simply could've confiscated Grell's scythe," Claude spoke up, "It was amusing watching Masterson blow matters out of proportion. Anyway, as our plan progressed, Sebastian got a bit…carried away; resulting in his 'death'" Claude shot a glare at Sebastian, "I had to revive him so our scheme could continue; a minor detour,"
"Once things had gotten back into order, we heard you and Grell were engaged; not to mention the children. This gave us an evolutionary advantage," Sebastian gripped tighter on Grell.
"Unfortunately, the association had found out about our plan and rushed to London. They went straight to the London division to warn you, that's why your dispatch was a mess. I couldn't allow our scheme to be destroyed, so I disguised as Masterson and took matters into my own hands. I used your fear against you and tricked you into thinking the association was out to get you. When in realty, they were trying to protect you," Claude finished. William was struck with awe. This entire time, it was all a trick. From the minute Grell had turned into a hellborn, he had been played.
"So Claude shall we finish the plan?" Sebastian asked as he ran a hand through Grell's hair.
"Sebastian, the plan had taken a slight turn. You cannot keep Grell, unless you plan on keeping the offspring. I doubt Grell will go anywhere without them," Claude answered. Sebastian snarled.
"Fine," Sebastian kissed Grell's head, "Sorry puppet, looks like you and your children won't be around much longer,"
"NO! Please no! Don't hurt my babies!" Grell begged. Sebastian smirked. William charged forward to attack Sebastian, but was stopped by Claude.
"Now now, Spears. Don't be too hasty," Claude said. The spider sent his foot in William's direction; sending the reaper. William gripped his scythe and pulled the trigger, causing the rod to shoot out toward Claude. The weapon pierced Claude's right arm; causing a low growl to emit from the spider. Blood spewed from the arm (keep in mind his shoulder what already bleeding from the initial attack. So, dear Claudie is pretty banged up) Claude paid no mind to his injuries and continued to attack William, but he was not at the gain. William easily beat Claude down; once his good arm was immobile of course.
Sebastian never stepped in, he simply pet Grell's head and watched the battle. Part of the plan was for Claude to contain William, NOT kill. The demons wanted to torture William's family before his very eyes before murdering them; from this, William would be begging for death. It was a sick plan.
However, Claude was not fulfilling his part; the plan may fall through. William was serving deadly blows; a human would have been dead with a punch from William in his state. William grabbed Claude by his collar and threw him to the wall, essentially causing the wall to crumble. William stormed over and stood over the demon.
"I-Impressive…you are a w-worthy opponent…" Claude choked out. The demon would soon fall unconscious by the amount of blood loss. This was the key moment to destroy Claude Faustus, and William took it. The reaper held his scythe tightly in his hand and position above the demon's head.
"You're will be cut short…" William spat as he drove his scythe into the demon's skull; making a loud crack. Claude spat up blood before passing on.
"Bravo Spears," Sebastian congratulated mockingly. William turned and glared daggers at the raven.
"Give me Grell and I might spare you, filthy demon," William grumbled.
"Oh no! I must finish the plan! I have Grell right here; why not play for a bit? Hmm?" The demon smirked. William narrowed his eyes. Sebastian turned Grell in his arms so the redhead was facing him. Grell was visibly shaking with fear, "Do not fret my pet, I shall not harm your darling children. I'm just going to have some fun with you~" Sebastian purred. The raven leaned down and kissed the vampire roughly. Grell squeaked and tried to break free, but to no avail. William stiffened and growled, in a rather animalistic way. The reaper readied his scythe, then he noticed the demon's claws were at Grell's neck. William had to agonize through it, or else Grell would pay.
"St-…Stop-!" Grell shrieked. Sebastian only kissed him harder and squeezed the redhead's butt with his free hand. Grell cried out, "W-….Will!" Grell pleaded. The reaper knew he couldn't just let this happen, Grell needed him. William swiftly knocked Sebastian back with one whack of his scythe and retrieved Grell. The demon stumbled backward; that's when the William made his move. The reaper quickly stabbed the demon through the chest and planted him to the wall.
"Grell, go to the children," William directed. Grell did not hesitate, "You should've stayed dead," William hissed. Sebastian let out a weak chuckle.
"So naïve…you will n-never-" William wrenched his scythe around in the demon's body.
"I'll never what?" The reaper asked coldly. The raven screamed in pain.
"You'll n-never…be able t-to protect you're p-precious family…" Sebastian uttered. William laughed maniacally, which startled Sebastian.
"Are you fucking daft? You have the audacity to say that as I kill you? No one will EVER harm my family. Now shut up vermin," William snarled. The reaper thrust the scythe up to rip further in the demon's chest. William ripped the scythe from his chest and let the creature fall to his feet.
Grell soon came walking back; cradling his babies. William sighed and hugged them tightly.
"Are you alright love? Are the children alright?" William asked concerned. Grell buried his face in William's shoulder.
"No, we're fine. I hid the babies in the closet when Sebastian came after me," Grell said. William nodded and kissed Grell's head.
"It's over…we can live peacefully now…" William whispered. Grell smiled happily. All the horror, over. The threats, the hate, the worry; it was all gone. Grell and William could finally spend eternity together blissfully with their two bundles of joy.
"And they lived happily ever after…" Grell said sweetly.
"Not just yet,"
"What?" Grell looked up, quite confused.
"The wedding you've been craving, we still have that before the fairytale darling," William reminded him. Grell's smile grew. How could he have forgotten? It was all he ever wanted!
"Then let us prepare," Grell mumbled.
