Sebastian's POV
I was still in a bit of pain, from my activities with Claude. But, I was healing slowly, so I should be alright within the hour. The Undertaker and I were currently working on the potion to wake Ciel from Claude's spell. We only had about 3 hours until Ciel would meet his end, so The Undertaker and I were working swiftly. I will be overjoyed when I can get all the extra parties out of this affair, and kill Claude. That worm has been clinging to his worthless life for too long. The Undertaker and I were almost done with the potion, when we heard a scream. It was Miss Paula's scream, at this point I knew that scream anywhere. The both of us raced down the hallway to see Ms. Paula laying on the ground unconscious.
" Paula! Wake up! Are you alright?!" I called out to her. I shook her a little, but she was out cold. I checked her vital signs, she was still alive and breathing. So I set her on the couch, and put a cold rag on her forehead. She would have to hold on, because we must finish. "What a peculiar necklace, the pretty lady has on." The Undertaker said, sliding his fingers down the stone. I took a closer look at the necklace. It was so familiar to me, but I couldn't recall it. Also, I had never seen Ms. Paula with this specific necklace on before. Once again, Paula and her situation would have to wait. My master comes first.
Forty-five minutes later The Undertaker and I finished the potion. The Undertaker put it in a large glass container, and sealed it. "Come, we must get to the hospital." I said. "Yes, butler boy, what shall we do with the young lady?" The undertaker said, gesturing toward Paula's still unconscious form. "I guess we can't leave her alone." I said gathering her into my arms. We left The Undertaker's home, and began on our way to the hospital. We came in through the back of the hospital, and quietly made our way toward Ciel's room.
Mr. and Mrs Midford were asleep in cots next to Ciel's bed. The Undertaker and I slowly and quietly snuck into the room. The Undertaker sprinkled a dust like substance over them, to make sure they did not wake up during this process. I set Ms. Paula down in a near by chair, I locked the door. The Undertaker stood by the door. "Go ahead, Butler boy. Let's wake up our favorite little boy." The Undertaker said with a smile. I took a breath, and unscrewed the top of the bottle. I slightly opened Ciel's mouth, as I prepared to pour the liquid in his mouth. As I was about to pour the potion into Ciel's mouth, I was suddenly slammed into a wall, spilling a good amount of the potion.
When I looked up to see my attacker, I was surprised to discover their identity. Paula was standing over me with a very angry expression on her face. I looked over to see the Undertaker slumped over against the wall. "Paula, what on earth are you doing!?" I said trying to get up. Paula slammed her foot on my chest, pushing me back to the ground. She seemed so much stronger than any normal human should be. I sealed the potion, and prepared myself to fight. I didn't know what was going on with Paula, but anyone who gets in my way will be dealt with.
I twisted her ankle, she cried out and fell to the ground. I got to my feet. "Don't make me hurt you, Paula." I said narrowing my eyes. I was not above killing a friend. Paula got to her feet, and began swinging wildly at me. I dodge easily. When I stepped out of the way of one of Paula's attacks, Paula's fist smashed right through the hospital wall. Now that was not something a normal human was capable of. "Paula, what has happened to you?" I said trying to figure out where Paula had received this type of strength from. "Master Claude's orders will be followed!" Paula screamed at me in a high pitched voice, a voice that did not belong to the sweet maid I knew. I knew Claude had something to do with this. Another of his cowardly deeds, sending a human to do his dirty work.
No matter, I will simply knock her out and continue to carry out my task. I stood waiting for Paula to come at me wildly again. Whatever Claude had done to her, he made her too aggressive and unintelligent. As I predicted she ran at me wildly, with her fist balled. I simply struck her at the right time, and Paula fell over, silently. Pathetic. Claude just keeps underestimating me. I retrieved the glass of potion, I was lucky to not have spilled all of it. Then suddenly Paula stood straight up to her feet, her head was down. It was impossible, I hit her hard enough to put a large animal to sleep. Paula whipped her head back, and laughed.
But it was not Paula's laugh, she laughed. It was Claude's twisted laugh. "Hello Michealis, you thought you had won, hadn't you?" Claude said through Paula body. "I gave my precious Paula, some new little tricks. Do like them? She is so much more interesting now. She is also so energetic now, nothing keeps her down long. So resilient, don't you agree!?" Claude said, so proud of his work. I clenched my teeth, I was so tired of Claude's little games. If he was in front of me now I would color these walls with his blood. "You're going to have to do better than a little bop on the head to keep her down. To be frank, you'll have to knock her damn head off!" Claude laughed.
"Two hours left, Sebastian. You better hurry up." Claude said. "Help me, Sebastian! Please!" Paula's will broke through for a split second, before Claude took control again. "You have two choices Michealis, kill Paula, or keep wasting time and have Ciel die. Choose wisely!" Claude said as his final words, before he let the beast he made of Paula take over. She charged at me again. I continued to dodge her attacks, unsure of what to do. The clock was ticking. But, I feel as if just simply killing Paula will make no difference in this matter. Claude will only have another trick set up for me.
I was going to have to approach this very carefully, because none of my choices seemed correct. Two lives were hanging by strings. And it seemed to be my job to save both, before one string snapped.
