Paula POV
My lungs are burning. My legs ache. My head is throbbing. I can barely think straight. All I know is I must keep running to stay alive. Even though Alois is considerably smaller and weaker than me, the look in his eyes told me his intent was to kill. It's dark and its starting to rain. I could barely see as it is. I felt like I was fighting against some unforeseen force, that wanted me to fail. I splashed through multiple puddles, and water absorbed by my clothes just made my body even heavier. "I'm going to kill you, when I catch you!" I heard Alois scream behind me. He was getting closer. I couldn't even decide on a direction to go in. At this point I was just making random turns. I turned left and ran straight down the path. To my horror I ran straight into a wall. I look around to see if maybe there was a way out. There was none. "I'm going to make you suffer, for making me run through this rain, you bitch." Alois said catching his breath. He had a large knife in his hand. My Lord, someone please help me!
Claude POV
This is it. As I look into the eyes of Sebastian, in our brief pause in our battle. We both know that only one demon will leave this room alive. And it will be me. I've grown tired of Sebastian constantly getting in my way. I shall make sure he suffers, till his death, by my hands. I already have the upper hand. I successfully wounded him, severely in his abdomen. The blood is still pouring from his side. I can hear his shallow breaths. I shall be the victor of this battle. I ready myself for another attack. Sebastian barely gets into a decent fighting stance. I launch toward him, intent on hitting my target. Just as I'm about to crush Sebastian's head, he clumsily moves out of the way. I hit the wooden bedpost instead, breaking off a large piece. The large chunk of wood was flying straight for Elizabeth. Sebastian being the pathetic demon he is, deflected the wood.
Now you have truly sealed your faith, Michealis. I began to purposely endanger Elizabeth's life. I threw the large wooden dressers at the unconscious girl. Sebastian began to deflected them all. Sebastian is so stupid. His job is to protect Ciel Phantomhive. His contract does not extend to Ciel's fiancee. He is wasting energy he does not have, but this is all beneficial to me. I throw a large vanity, as Sebastian rushes to defend Elizabeth I use my knives to shred at the already tore flesh of his manage to still save Elizabeth, but he then fell to a heap on the floor. Good. That's where he belongs, at my feet. Your luck just ran out, Sebastian. As Sebastian desperately tries to crawl into a corner, I stood on his chest.
I was loving this. I stepped on Sebastian's throat, as he gasped for air. He stared up at me with hate filled eyes. "Any last words, Sebastian?" I looked at him with such joy. He just laid there quietly, as I began to make the final blow. "What's going on?!" I almost had a perfect moment, until Lady Elizabeth awoke from from her sleep. "Claude! What are you doing to Sebastian!" Elizabeth yelled frantically. "Do not interfere, girl!" I yelled at her. She would not ruin this moment. I looked back down to Sebastian at my feet. He oddly enough was smiling. His cheeks looked inflated. Then this son of a bitch, spat a powerful stream of blood into my eyes. As I stumbled back. The rat took the opportunity to run away. Argh! Curse that stupid blonde brat. I ran after him. He would not get away.
Alois's POV
Good Lord this has been the longest three days of my life! Paula couldn't be in anymore of a bad situation, because I was definitely going to express some of this pent up frustration on her. Watching her blood pour from her body would be a great stress reliever. I walked closer to her in the still pouring raining. "Alois, stop! You don't have to do this!" Paula said backing against the brick wall behind her. "Shut up! Your voice is almost as annoying as Elizabeth's." I said preparing to stab her to death. I thrusted my knife toward her chest. She dodged, but slipped and fell in the rain. Things were working in my favor, she was wounded, wet, and exhausted. "There's about to be one less annoying woman in the world!"I said raising the knife to impale Paula.
Paula's POV
This was it. I would die in this dirty disgusting alley. At the hands of a twisted fourteen year old. I never got to really do anything with my life. I was an orphan, and then I was recruited and trained to be a Midford servant. Then when I finally thought I had met the man of my dreams. Who I thought would take me away, and we would be happy together. We would have had a nice sized house and had beautiful children. But then all my dreams fell to pieces when the man of my dreams turned out to be a cruel ruthless demon. I never got to be truly happy. When I had accepted my death, I was waiting to feel the pain of Alois's knife. Then after sometime when I was still unharmed, I opened my eyes.
Alois was laying unconscious on the ground. Sebastian was standing next to his body. "Come, we have to hurry to the Undertaker's home." He said weakly. He was extremely wounded, and seemed to be bleeding everywhere. I rose to my feet and Sebastian and I began to run toward the Undertaker's house. We finally made it after ten minutes of slow running. I knocked anxiously on his door. The Undertaker slowly opened the door with his usual smile. "Why hello! Don't you two look troubled, come in please." He said. We went inside and Sebastian immediately fell to his knees. "Sebastian!" I screamed, the last thing I needed was for him to be hurt.
"I'm alright. I just need a minute." Sebastian said. "I believe we should get started quickly, since we have enemies and are wounded. Come Sebastian, I need your help with the preparation. Ms. Paula, please watch the door if anyone tries to come in, scream! Alright, we shall be back in an 2 hours tops. Make yourself comfortable." The Undertaker said disappearing around the corner with Sebastian.
I waited on the Undertaker's couch for a while. I started to doze off a bit from all the madness of the day. I knew I couldn't sleep with everything that was going on, so I decided to walk around a bit. I began to pace back and forth. Then I stared out the window. The rain was letting up. I turned my head to the back room where The Undertaker and Sebastian were working. I hope they finish soon. I was ready to get this over with. I turned my head back to the window. I came face to face with Claude. He was wet and looked very angry. He held up a piece of paper with black writing on it. It said "Scream and I will go back to the Midford Estate and break Elizabeth's neck. Open the door." I had no choice but to go and open the door.
I unlatched the door and turned the knob. Clauded walked in quietly, he grabbed my wrist and pull me down a hallway. He stopped at the last door on the right, and pulled my inside and shut the door. Being alone with Claude use to make me happy beyond belief, now it just made my blood run cold. "Where is Sebastian?" Claude asked in a hushed tone. I said nothing. Claude rubbed his temple, and sighed. "Listen Paula, I don't want to hurt you. I really don't, just tell me what I want to know and you will be perfectly safe." Claude tried to reason with me. I remained quiet, and backed away from him. I was trying to see how I would escape from this.
Claude walked toward me. I backed away again. I stepped back until I was against the wall. Claude reached out and took my hand in his. He closed the gap between us, and whispered to me. "Please Paula. I don't want to hurt anyone. I just have to do this, and then we can be together again." I pushed him away. "You're a liar! You're trying to kill Ciel and Sebastian!" I screamed. I was so angry at him for lying to me, and taking advantage of me. Claude slammed his hand over my mouth. "Let's not get too loud, please. Now listen to me. Yes, I am a demon and I do want to kill both Sebastian and Ciel. But, once I'm finished with that. I can give you anything you want. Everything you've ever desired. No ordinary man will be able to give you what I'm offering you." Claude said kissing my cheek.
"I want you to help me, Paula. Help me finish this so we can get to happiness faster." Claude said. He removed his hand from my mouth. "Claude, I love you. But what you are is pure evil and I will never help you." I said struggling to get away from Claude, but he was too strong. He simply smiled, and kissed my lips. "You will help me whether you like it or not. But, until I need you keep this as a gift, love." Claude said placing this beautiful sapphire necklace around my neck. It was on a silver chain, and had small fine writing around the sapphire stone. "I'll be seeing you later, my sweet." Claude said disappearing.
I was going to tell Sebastian that Claude had been inside the house, as I was taking off Claude's necklace. But, when I touched the necklace it burned my fingers. I looked down at my hands to see the burn marks on my fingers. I tried again to take off the necklace, but again it burned me. Then it felt as if the necklace was beginning to attach to my skin. What type of necklace is this?! "YOU ARE MINE!" I could hear Claude's voice inside of my head. It was loud and hurt the insides of my skull. I began to scream from the pain, I was slowly starting to black out. The last thing I remembered was Claude's voice "You are Mine…..
