Chapter 15: Clarity (Zedd ft. Foxes)

Hey, y'all! Ugh, I can't believe I just typed it like that. (No offense to those who speak like that!)

So, I had NO internet during the weekend, so I just about died. But, I'm alive!

So, I can update again!

Anyways, I don't own Kuroshitsuji! Enjoy!

Catherine's POV

I sat around lazily humming along as Ciel practiced his piano skills. He continuously messed up and always glared at me.

"Let me... You may enjoy this." I slid onto the seat next to him. I placed my fingers gently on the keys. I slowly began fingering each key. Fur Elise rang around the room.

At each sound wave, a ripple of colour burst out into the air, literally. Every single key that I poked exploded a whole different colour. I could hear Sebastian and Ciel gasp in amazement. My fingers left little rainbow circles on each key I had just touched. I had totally drifted away into the music until the very last note.

I turned and smiled at them, nearly laughing at their amused faces.

"That was amazing!" Ciel whispered. "How did you-"

"After a long travel around with others like me, you pick up a few things." I shrugged and pulled Ciel down next to me. "Well, are you going to teach or not?"

Sebastian smiles and begins to teach us both.

After teaching us a little, we retired to Ciel's office.

"I got a letter to visit an old friend of mine. She is a far distance away, but she requested me to bring the both of you. I've spoke little about you in letters but she still demands it. Will you be alright with that?" I ask shyly.

"Mmhmm, I suppose. I guess, I have to don't I?" Ciel asked after taking a bite of his cake.

"Nope, but yay!" I jump out of my seat and dash out the door carefully.

"Sometimes I wonder if she's really fourteen..." Ciel mutters. I poke my head back in and smile.

"I Heard that!" Sebastian chuckles and Ciel furrows his brows.

xXx

We arrived just outside of London near Houndsworth at a little estate. It was almost like a cottage.

"Oh, before we go in, please, whatever you do, do not, ever, tell her I'm a demon. And, do not embarrass me!" I whisper. I hear the door behind us fling open and a shilling cry pierce our ears.

"Catty!"

"Ugh, Amber, how are you?" I turn and ask her.

"Is she related to Elizabeth by any chance?" Ciel whispers to me.

"I wish. Elizabeth isn't as bad!" I whisper back. Even Edward seemed highly unamused.

"I'm fantastic! Oh, how are you, Edward? Is she less serious now? Has she gotten over her obsession yet?"

"Amber!" I whine.

"Obsession?" Ciel leans in. "Do tell more."

"Oh, you must be Ciel. Its wonderful to meet you! Anyway, Catty used to have an addiction to red wine. And not only that, but she wouldn't share! She was too young to have any anyhow!" Amber pouted.

"I'm guessing it wasn't really wine?" Sebastian whispered in my ear.

"No, side effects a new-turning." I sigh. "Amber, won't you please invite us in? It's freezing outside!"

"Oi, how stupid I am. Daniel, please get the tea ready!" Amber shouted as we walked inside.

"Amber, what is that... smell?" I asked standing at the door. The others didn't seem to notice it.

"Hmm, oh! I have guest here who just loves Opium. I told him he could only stay for two weeks max though. Daniel didn't seem so calm about though."

"Who is... Daniel?"

"My butler, silly." My face paled at that.

"May I... go meet your uh, guest?"

"Sure, Daniel, show her to the room please!" Daniel appeared in the door way. He waved for me to follow him up the stairs.

"You're here to see your brother, correct? He isn't here yet. He will return soon though. I must ask you though. You're a werecat, how do you propose to meet this man inside this room?" Daniel asked me.

"As long as it doesn't touch my skin, I'm ok." I reply.

"Every demon on earth knows of your deal with the devil, even the one you plan to kill. I believe that was the one sticking very close to your side , correct?"

"Mhmm. But, he betrayed me. I have good reasons."

"You seem to not have told those reasons to your fellow companions, am I right?"

"Yes... who did you-"

'I have a clever way of figuring things out. Anyways, would you like me to stay inside with you, in case the opium is too intense for you and you need to get out quickly?"

"No thanks I got this."

I walked inside and struggled to breath already. The room was completely covered in smoke.

"Lau, I knew that smell anywhere." I whisper.

"Ooh, I wasn't expecting a cat to stop at my window. How have you been?" He greeted me coldly.

"Let's cut to the chase, where is he?"

"Who?"

"My brother!"

"Oh yes, well, didn't that pesky butler in the hall tell you he would be here shortly?" I grab the caller of his shirt and pin him to the wall making a hole in it.

"How 'shortly'?" I growled.

"When he wants to get here. I can't answer anymore than that!" I shoved him further into the shattered wall. I heard footsteps rushing down the hall. I dropped the man.

"Cath- Lau? What are you doing here?" Ciel asked.

"AH! My wall! How did you- but I thought- Catherine?" Amber panicked.

"You're trying to kill me aren't you?" I asked pointing at Lau.

"What, I'd never!" Lau acted innocent.

"Shit, I got a lot of explaining to do..." I sighed.

xXx

"Oh, Catty, you should have come to stay with me! I would have taken you in, even as a demon!" Amber literally began crying.

"Thanks, but it's a little too late for that..." I lock eyes with Edward. He was definitely trying to 'kill me with glaring'.

"So, why were you shoving me into the wall? I told you clearly, I don't know where he is." Lau asked from the stairs.

"No one can trust you..." I replied.

"Hey I-"

"Catherine, what was the real reason you brought us here?" Ciel asked.

"I didn't lie! She really wanted to meet you, but when Lau decided to 'stay' here, the same place my brother is stay, I had to come."

The front door opened and closed. "Hey, I'm back!" My brother walked in and I stood right away. "Oh... we have- Catherine!" I suddenly felt light headed and turned away from him.

"Hey, what are you- forget that, I heard you died!" I could hear his voice breaking.

"EH, word gets around huh?" I chuckled.

"What?"

"Technically, I'm dead... I guess not really, but, ugh, I don't know! Um, we should go!" I hurried from the room.

TPOV

"Oh, Catherine!" Amber wined.

"She's been like that a lot?" Her brother asked.

"No, I've never seen her so flustered." Edward answered before everyone else.

"Oh, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Joseph. I'm two years older than her, in case you need to know."

"Do you know-"

"Yes, I've know for a very long while. You're Ciel right?" He cut Ciel short of his words.

"Yes, My butler Sebastian and her butler Edward. I'm guessing you know Sebastian from the past though right?"

"Actually, yes. I suppose it's nice to meet you again... Sebastian."

"I should probably retrieve or mischievous cat." Sebastian teased.

Sebastian walked out the door and saw Catherine lying on top of the carriage.

"Took you long enough. I'm guessing you had to talk to my brother before coming to get me?" Catherine huffed.

"You truly are a pain to deal with when you are mad. Why were you mad to see him though?" Sebastian asked.

"You were all there. I didn't want him to have to see the friends I've made over the years. No offense, but he hated you the first time he met you, neither of us like Edward, Lau isn't my friend, and Ciel is a downer."

"Heh, you seem to really have a large opinion over us. What is your opinion of me?"

"Sebastian, don't tempt me!"

"Tempt, hmm, what do you mean?" He threw out a signature smile. She rolled off of the carriage and landed on her feet. "I guess cats do always land on their feet."

Catherine ignored that comment and threw her arms around his neck. He reluctantly pushed against her and held her against the carriage. Their lips met over and over but never one parted.

"You're holding back?" Sebastian asked, but it was more of a statement.

"I don't want to get caught... My brother already hates you.." She replied and pushed into another kiss.

"Very well, let this continue when we get back to the estate." Sebastian whispered. She nodded and kissed him one last time before they returned inside.

So, I know this wasn't a good chapter. Believe me. I'm recovering from my 'no internet for three' injury in the 'hospital'. T.T

I decided I may MAY put in lime some time with in the story. That is not a definite.

Anyways, I'm tired so I'm done talking. dT_Tb ROCK OUT!
