As Sebastian and Grell fell out the wind ow Ciel let a knife fall from inside his sleeve into his hand, just as Sebastian always seemed to be doing. Ciel felt Th e grip on his neck tighten as Alex force d him to the window to see where Sebasti an and Grell had gotten to. As Alex lean ed forwards to look the window she loose ned her grip on Ciel's neck, allowing hi m to move his shoulder enough to positio n the knife. As Alex leaned forwards the knife penetrated her stomach causing he r to let Ciel go all together. Before he jumped out the window he grabbed the kn ife that he had wounded her with and the knife she'd had pointed at his head. As Ciel hit the ground he ran a few step's away from the manor then turned back. S ebastian and Grell joined him and they w atched as Alex stood up straight, the bl ood on the front of her shirt was slowly fading and she looked very mad.
"Now what?" Grell stared in horror at hi s sister as she began to position hersel f to jump out the window. In response Ciel exchange a quick side-long glance wit h Sebastian and chucked one of his knive s at Alex's face. Sebastian, simultaneou sly, threw one of his fork's at her hear t. The knife hit between the eye's as th e fork hit it's target dead-center.
"Right, now, Grell, is there anyway you can get rid of her?" Ciel was watching t he window, counting the time she was dow n this time.
"Give me a minute." Grell began to play with his scythe, trying to get it starte d. Then Alex popped back into view. Ciel threw the only other knife he had at he r heart and Sebastian threw a hand full of fork's to hit her in the head. She wa s downed again.
"Grell, you have about 30 second's to ge t up there." Ciel warned and then ran fo r the tree line, pulling Sebastian with him.
"Why are we over here?" Sebastian studie d the scene playing out across the yard. Grell jumped in the window just to be t hrown back out by Alex who immediately f ollowed. A battle between Grell's scythe and Alex's acrobatic's began and to be honest, it looked as if Grell might lose .
"Have you ever seen a reaper die?" Ciel asked.
"No," Sebastian tilted his head and glan ce over at Ciel momentarily.
"Well, it's not pretty and actually not very pleasant. Let's hope we don't see o ne, or we'll be running for our lives." Ciel didn't take his eye's off the battl e raging a few meter's away. Grell recei ved a kick in the face that knocked him to the ground. Ciel then grabbed a fork from Sebastian's pocket and threw it as hard as he could. It was targeted perfec tly to catch Alex in the heart, even whi le she was moving faster than normal, al most the speed of a car. As the knife br oke the skin and Alex fell forward's, ri ght on top of Grell's scythe, which made a deep blood gushing wound.
That's as bad as what she did to me and Elizabeth... Ciel shook his head. Where had that com e from. No! Ciel shook his head again, no, he was no t going to have an other black out/memor y flash back. He got up and began to run as fast as he could, faster than any ca r, but as he went he saw Alex advancing on him, twirling her death scythe. "You' ve met Phidias?" From behind Alex steppe d an old man. This man was old and had g rey-ish white hair. His beard was medium length and of the color as his hair and he was wearing a white tunic and a cloa k of a dark grey.
"Young master?" Ciel saw Sebastian fall in step behind him and a look of questio ning on his face.
Phidias pulled out a death scythe as wel l and trust it past Ciel at Elizabeth wh o was cowering behind him, shaking like mad. The blade just short of stabbing he r in the head before Phidias pulled it b ack, laughing.
As fast as Ciel and Sebastian, what ever was after them was moving faster. Ciel chanced a quick glance behind them at a giant mushroom cloud of red smoke barrel ing outward's as well as upward's. In so me part's the giant wave of red had a li ght tinge of gold.
"Oh, this will be fun!" Alex exclaimed a s she advanced, her scythe inches from C iel's head when she stopped. "Where is t he child?" How did she know?
Ciel tried to run faster but couldn't, t he wave was going just as fast as they w ere now, but one small stumble and Ciel was a goner.
"I don't know what you mean." Ciel stated, fully aware that Alex knew he was lying, but it was just a ploy to live a little longer.
Ciel saw Sebastian weaving through the tree's as he ran away from the blast that was Alex. Sebastian looked over at Ciel and this moment of distraction cause a small stumble on a tree rout...
"You know what I mean. Now, I'll ask but once more. Where is it?" Alex advanced on them, but Ciel wasn't scared. He could return them from the Land of the Dead Demon's, and Elizabeth was a very good actress when deemed important enough. With a small nod from Alex and a swift flick of Phidias's wrist Elizabeth hit the wall with a thud. Knowing it was important to act, Ciel turned around and began to cry for Elizabeth was without her head. Ciel summoned a black feather, full of and made of poison and threw it at Phidias's heart. A millisecond later Ciel felt a sharp blade pierce his back, Falling onto Elizabeth, he had a smile on his face.
