Chapter 2: The Demetrio Ball secrets
Hey! Oh, you guys rock! so many reviews...
I want to comment to you first reviewers, but I know what your gonna say..." Only three?" YES! That is a big step up from my last story. I finally got one review on chapter 3 on the other one I am writing/typing.
Biganimefan18: Yes, I was planning it to be a good twist. And guess what, I am updating soon, hehe.
Shiroyan: I think you may already be catching my drift on the story! Drat! Anyways, Thank you for your help, I will definitely try to remember that. I just remember watching Black Butler and seeing Sebastian say "Very good..." a few time, that is why I used it, but you are right. It does suit them better. Thanks!
Guest 1: Yes...*laughs mischievously* hmm... how on earth will I explain that? Well, I will tell you it is coming up soon, so please be patient!
Guest 2: Yes, I love that song! I listened to it on repeat until I finished the last chapter.
- So yeah. Oh but I noticed I forgot to mention what 'TPOV' was. It is third person point of view or as I say Third Point Of View.
Anyways, To the ball! *quickly dresses into pretty dress*
I don't own Kuroshitsuji/ Black Butler! Enjoy!
Catherine's POV
I dressed into an elegant tuxedo and slipped down the stairs. I met with a few women and danced with them before retreating to the wine table.
"Aren't you a little young to drink wine?"
I looked up to see a talk slender man with a fair face with perfect golden eyes protected by silver wired glasses.
"I only drink when I'm stressed..." I could feel a cold shivering wave of fierce energy blowing from him.
"I see. I believe I forgot to introduce myself. I am Claude Faustus." He smiled wickedly.
"I should head off..." I turned but was blocked by a young boy with striking blonde hair and sterling blue eyes.
"I don't think so." The blonde one spoke. "I'm Alois Trancy. I believe we lacked to meet when you first arrived."
"I really should be on my way..." I said trying to push away.
Alois pushed my back against the edge of one of the nearby pillars. He pulled the hair pins from my hair letting them fall.
"I knew it! I knew you were to good to be true!" Alois shouted as he moved to where everyone saw my hair to my shoulders.
I whistled a single note and Edward was there in a second bowing before me.
"Yes, my lord?" He asked.
"Clear the hall. The ball is over. But, keep the demons and there butlers here. I would like to speak to them." I whispered.
"As you wish, my lord." He nodded and turned to the crowed. "I have been informed by one of the maids that there is a fire on the top floor, and my master would like you all to evacuate for your safety." He met eyes with Sebastian and nodded slowly. I knew what that meant.
After everyone except Alois, Claude, Sebastian and Ciel left, I turned to Alois. I slapped him so hard I could hear the skin-to-skin echo throughout the hall.
"My...Lord?" His butler asked furiously.
"You are an idiot! How dare you reveal my true appearance in front of a full crowd!" I shouted.
"Claude," He began, Edward pulled me towards him. "I want you to stand down, I can understand... her rage." I flinched at how he referred to me as a 'her' while I was dressed so... unlady like.
"Very well... my lord." Claude nodded.
"Why are we here?" Ciel asked.
"I have been informed that you have not been informed of the... information you deserve." I said moving my hair to one side of my neck. I showed my symbol clearly.
"No,"
"Very well. I asked you all here because both Sebastian and Claude have to do with what I am about to tell you. Edward knows as well, but he was not involved."
"I want to know why you have a contract with Edward first."
"Because, Sebastian and I never completed our contract."
"Our?"
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian said shyly. "She was once my... mistress when she was your age."
"No to say that I still am, but I don't keep track anymore. I have been fourteen for about four years." I said smirking.
[Flashback]
I wandered through the halls.
"Papa?" I called.
A creature jumped from the corned as I approached his room.
"Ahh!"
"I.. think you will make a fine... lunch!" It licked it's lips.
"Don't touch my Son!" My father shouted as he punched the creature away from my brother. I cowered behind them watching in terror at what had just happened.
"Come on, Cat, this way!" My brother grabbed my hand led me through the halls.
We turned another corner and five more came out.
"Cat, father and I will distract them, you have to run!" My brother told me. I nodded and ran as fast as I could.
I knew what these things were. They were humans who had lost there way messing with the demons. I had heard that demons took souls, my father said that this was the result. It started happening a few years ago.
I could hear a faint scream of my brother. Tears filled in my eyes as I made it outside to see that thousands were surrounding the house. One came before me and pushed me to the ground. The thing licked my neck and locked eyes with me.
"Welcome to hell" He whispered and forced black blood-like liquid into my mouth. I could feel my entire body shift and fill with something I had never felt before.
A swift movement pulled him away from me. The new figure jumped in front of me and knelt before me. He was different that the others.
"Come with me, my lady." I took him hand and he held me close. He jumped high and ran quickly. Once we arrived on top of a tall building, he spoke again. " I apologize for what you have seen, but I have been informed you wished for something. What was that?"
"I- I wished that I could kill all of those monsters that took my family away from me. I lost my mother by those things. Now my brother. I want them gone!" I said wiping away tears. "What did that thing do to me?"
"I will tell you on one condition, you must make a contract with me. Once this is over and you get your wish, I receive your soul. Do you agree?"
"Yes."
"Very well. This may hurt, but it will be for a short moment. I promise no more harm will come to you." He place a hand over my eye. I could feel a new pain shoot through my entire body. It was over fast like he said.
"You are now my Mistress. How can I be of service?" He asked with a gleeful smile.
"You know what I want too know!" I said turning to him.
"You, are a demon. Not like my type of demon, though, my lord. You are what some may call a werecat. Others call them Demon cats."
[Endflashback]
"A demon cat? That is the lamest excuse I've heard." Alois said laughing. "and what does Claude have to do with this?"
"He is the one after my father! He sent all of those things after him. After I 'died' along with my brother and my mother, he turned into a murderer." I said. My eyes finally showed a sign of being a demon.
"Why aren't you dead?" Ciel asked.
"Like I said, we didn't complete the contract. I am now with Edward due to that very reason."
"What does a 'werecat' do?" Alois asked still laughing at me.
"Sebastian may I please?" I asked. I had once been told by him to never show anyone what a werecat looked like or to show my 'demonic eyes'.
"I can not stop you." Sebastian replied smiling. I smiled back.
"I'll give you a heads up. I am the same size as a demon hound, meaning that I am fairly larger than any of you. Are you sure you still want to see it?"
"Please I'm sure you're just ma-" I jumped at him and turned to a large black cat. My eyes were redish pink like a demon's. Behind my ear was the symbol that was on my neck.
Alois slid to ground. I could see his shaking fear in his eyes.
"Get off!" He shouted. I quickly changed back and smirked. I was sitting next to him.
"Oh, I haven't had so much fun like that in years!" I cheered and got up.
"O-ok, you win! I'm done pestering you!" Alois said shaking. I gave him a hand and pulled him up. I glanced at Claude who was glaring at me. I could tell he wanted to kill me.
"There. Ciel, I hope that satisfies your hunger for information. Before you go off and tattle, the queen already knows. She found out about a year ago. That is probably why she sent you here."
"I- um- thank you for telling me." He said.
"Always! Did you know that Sebastian likes cats because of me?" I said smiling again.
"really?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so, my lord." Sebastian said weakly.
"haha, It's getting late. You should head home." I said turning to go up the stairs. "Please come again!" I ran up the stairs and went into my room.
TPOV
"I can't believe she finally spoke of it again after all those years." Edward said sighing.
"What do you mean?" Alois asked looking up at Edward.
"Well, after making a contract with her, she began to hide everything about herself. She hid her face and true identity just to get away from being called a demon by those in London who knew of what she was."
"How did they find out?"
"Someone overheard her telling the queen and the rumour spread quickly."
"I'm sure she deserves it!" Alois says puffing out his chest trying to look tough.
"Why did you reveal her identity during the ball?"
"Huh? oh, um, because I was helping someone."
"Who?" Sebastian and Edward said at the same time.
"I dunno, a guy named Jason I think."
"Idiot!" Sebastian and Edward said together again. They exchanged a daring glance. A 'Stop-mimicking-me-or-I'll-kill-you!' look.
"Why?"
"Jason is her father." Edward said worriedly.
"Sebastian, it is late, can we leave? We can come back later if you like." Ciel said catching on that Sebastian was happy to see Catherine again.
"Of-of course, my lord." They left quickly and returned home.
"I still don't get it. Why doesn't she just have you kill him?" Alois scoffed and waved for Claude to follow him to leave.
"I wish she would order me to kill someone else." Edward said under his breath, but loud enough for Claude to hear.
Catherine's POV
I looked at myself in the mirror. I glanced at my right eye. I remembered when that was shaded in with the symbol on my neck. I missed that time.
The true was, I longed for that time again. I hate Edward. No, that is an understatement. I am afraid of him. All he ever wants is my soul. I can tell that he thinks about it nonstop.
I shook my head and cleared my thoughts. I lied on the bed and began to sleep.
Darkness overtook me. Just like that perfect dance with Sebastian.
Was it good? I just wanted something to be off with my character, so I made her a werecat.
I got that from the book Eragon. Best book ever by the way! One of the characters in the boo is a werecat, so I decided to use that. so in that case, I don't own werecats.
I loved your amazing reviews, again! I will try to update soon! So until then...
Please R&R & fav&follow! Thanks!
