Chapter 12: I Will Not Bow(Breaking Benjamin)
So, here it is! I really loved your reviews. I could tell many of you were excited to see what Ciel will do, and to be truthful, so am I!
Shadows of the Midnight Wolf: Thank you for giving me an idea. *looks around cautiously while having a huge grin"
So, I don't own Kuroshitsuji! Enjoy!

Catherine was about to loose her head. Ciel purposely asked dozens of questions about their covenant just to annoy her.
"You know, I have to protect you from danger. Slapping you as hard as I can is not putting you in danger." Catherine growled through her violently bared fangs.
"Sebastian-"
"So, Yo-Ciel, but I am in no position to interfere with your arguments." Sebastian held his hand up and cut him off.
"But-"
"Come on, ci- Young Master, we're stopping for... a break." Catherine paused, tempted to tell him that the other werecats needed to feed. Catherine jumped out after Sebastian then helped Ciel out. The followed behing the other werecats and made their way into a small village that was nearly completely destroyed. dogs were tucked away in kennels everywhere.
"Where are we?" Ciel asked quietly.
"The most putrid place on the human planet... Houndsworth." Catherine replied. When a dog came near her, she hissed violently, making it whimper and scatter off.
"What are your orders, sir?" a werecat asked.
"Take what you want; as much as you want. But not that kid, of coarse." The leader replied gruffly. The others scattered off in search of food.
"I need to do something. Sebastian, please keep an eye on him for a few moments." Catherine spoke softly.
"Of coarse." Sebastian smiled weakly. Catherine disappeared instantly. Not long after, a lowed piercing yelp from a dog nearby. Ciel jumped back as a think shadow emerged from the fog.
"I'm ready to head back. Let's go." Catherine said wiping blood from the crook of her lips. Ciel stared at her for a moment before following her to the carriage.
"You killed a dog..." Ciel said as the carriage finally started moving when the rest returned to the other carriages.
"So? I hate dogs. At least it wasn't a human." Catherine's fangs were once again bared sharp.
"You're a pain to deal with. When can I have Sebastian back?"
"Soon. You know why I'm such a pain? I haven't gotten anything real in almost two years."
"Real?"
"Like I said, don't complete your contract wile you're stuck with me." Ciel was silent after that. Everyone was.

Catherin's POV
We arrived at the inn yesterday. Today was the day to end things between my father and I.
"Ready?" I asked walking down the steps. I was dressed like I usually do, but instead of my hair hidden, it was tied up into a ponytail. On my waist was a single sword in its sheath. Inside my boot was a dagger.
"Yeah, don't get me killed." Ciel snapped.
"No worries." I winked and flung open the door. "AHH, Undertaker? What are you doing here?"
"hehe, Well, I thought I'd accompany you on your last two missions for the queen." Undertaker laughed and pulled me outside.
"Fine, just don't get yourself killed. You know he can kill you."
"hehe, now, now. You know how hard it is to kill me." His sly smile was almost reassuring. Everyone except Elijah, Jonathan and I climbed into the carriages. We ran beside the carriages. It didn't take long to meet my father at the field he sent us to.
"we're here." I opened the door for Ciel and held my hand for him.
"NO, don't let him out. It's too dangerous for him. It's best Sebastian and Ciel stay in the carriage." Elijah ordered. I nodded and pushed him back inside.
"Wait here, Sebastian, protect Ciel. I'd give him back, but I don't have time." I said slamming the door shut.
"Well, well, well, Catherine Yuri Demetrio II, I have been waiting for you." A very familiar voice rang out.
"Come out. I don't have time to waste."
"Don't you? You gave your soul to Lucifer. Don't you want to waste as much time as you can?"
"Shut up..."
"Alright, I'll come out, only for my dear, precious daughter."
"I am no daughter of yours."
"Mm, so much love. I'm envious." He stepped out of the wooded area near the field.

He looked worse that he used to. His long legs, arms and face drooped. His eyes were stained red everywhere. His teeth pointed outward just like shark teeth. In his hands was the one thing separating me from killing him; the demon slayer.
"Drop the weapon. Let's settle this the old fashion way. I want to do a little fist-to-face, if you get what I mean.' Catherine smirked.
"I'd rather have a little fun anyways, alright." He drops his weapon and runs towards her. She quickly glided to the side missing him entirely. "Well, you've definitely gotten faster than before." She scoffed and fisted the back of his head, knocking him the ground.
He grabbed her ankle and dragged her to the ground. His hands moved around her neck. She coughed for a breath of air then kicked him in the square jeans. He pulled away and ran for his sword. She then grabbed his ankle pulling him down. She pulled out a dagger from her boot and plucked it through his chest. She stood and grabbed up his sword. She slid the sword into the now empty sheath.
"Give it back, love." He ordered.
"Hmm, let me think about it... no." She laughed at him.
"Suit yourself, love." He was now behind her and held her neck from behind.
"CATHERINE!" Everyone shouted but it was too late. He snapped her neck in an instant.
"Cathrine!" Ciel shouted from inside the carriage. He threw the door open and began to run to her.
"No, My Lord, don't get near a demon in that state. It's far too dangerous. Please, return to the carriage."
"My, my, what do we have here?" Catherine's father smirked and unsheathed the blade from Catherine's blade belt. A growl escaped Catherine's lips.
"Stay away from him!" Catherine sprang up. Her face had lost all of its colours. He eyes were the only thing with true colour. They burned as a firing red. A shadow cast across the entire field.
"Well, I'd never thought I'd see the day where you let your true demon jump from your bones." Her father tease.
"I'd only suggest this once. drop the blade, or I'll have to pry it from your, cold, dead hands. Your choice, but either way, you'll die."
"I guess it's to the death, but I'd love to fight all of you, not just a sick shadow skin like you."
"You got it. You heard him, it's your turn." She smiled towards the group then turned to Sebastian. "Cover his eyes. I can have him seeing me if it breaks loose."
"Of course." Sebastian smiled deeply and covered Ciel's eyes. We fought roughly, and sure enough, my shadow grew, but it never fully escaped.
"Alright, let's go. Ciel, I'll return you back at the motel." Cathrine spoke as Ciel removed Sebastian's hand from his eyes and stared at my shadow behind me.
"Actually, Undertaker and I will return together. I need to speak to him privately, and I'm not sure how safe you are around me just yet. I'll se you at the inn."
xXx
It had been hours before she returned back at the inn. She quickly took the shower she deserved and went to sit on the roof.
"Ciel, what are you doing up here?" She asked as she sat beside him.
"I needed time to think." He replied.
"Yeah, so did I... what were you thinking about?"
"Did yu get the sword?"
"How can't I? It's hidden with Undertaker right now. Until I can find a good use for it, it stays hidden where no one but him can find it."
"I suppose that is a good thing."
"Yes..."
"I want to stay as your master for a little longer."
"You're kidding right?"
"no"
"Sebastian would throw a fit."
"I talked to him about it, and the truth is, he thinks you need practice for it. Working with me will be easy."
"Eh, well, alright, but you'll always be getting into trouble with me around."
"I'm Ciel Phantomhive. I'm always in trouble."
"Heh, alright. You got it, but is that an order?" He smirked.
"Catherine, this is an order; stay with me for a little longer as my demon butler."
"Yes, My lord." She place her hand over her heart and bowed.
So, no Ciel destroying Catherine... this time. I do promise there will be times in the next chapter though.
I have realized that I have sequel material, so... there will be a sequel to this. I can't tell you how it will go or give you a summary because, well, that would spoil the end of this chapter.
Anyways, you know the drill, so I'm not going to say all of it this time but I will say...
please R&R and fav/follow. Stay safe, and good night/day!
