"Poisoned?!" Both Sebastian and I gasped at the same time.
"By who?!" Sebastian asked angrily.
Madam Red put a gentle hand on his arm, which made my face heat up. "Sebastian, calm down. We're not sure who did it, but we will get to the bottom of thi-" Suddenly, something cut the power in the mansion. Sebastian quickly lit a few candles, which was now the only light in the entire mansion, save for the moonlight streaming through the windows.
Someone laughed in the darkness. "How do you like my present, (F/n)?" a low, male voice asked.
Sebastian threw a knife into the darkness where the voice came from.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk. Now now, Sebastian. Let's not lose our heads." The voice cooed. The knife came back out of the darkness and flew straight towards Sebastian's face. Luckily, because he's a demon, he caught the knife between his fingers.
"Wh-Who are you?! Madam Red asked, clearly scared.
The voice chuckled. "I think a better question to ask would be, who else is in the mansion?"
Suddenly, we all heard a scream come from Rose, followed by Aberline, and even Ciel, who cried out, "Sebastian!!!"
Madam Red an Sebastian looked at each other and spoke at the same time. "Ciel!" "Young master!"
All three of us ran out of the room towards the source of the scream. Since I was sick, and out of energy, I slowed way down and sank to the ground, breathing heavily. The voice chuckled in the darkness. He could have been but a few inches in front of me, but I wouldn't know it, due to the pitch black darkness brought on by the power outage. "Aw. Look how the 'mighty' have fallen." He said, laughing again in a deep low voice.
Someone tilted my chin upwards. But at the same time, someone was tying something around my wrists, ankles, legs, and head. "Wh-What are you... doing?" I gasped.
The voice chuckled once more. "I am not doing anything. But my companions and I are going to make sure that you don't get in our way." The strings lifted upwards, taking me with it.
"Now," A new voice whispered in my ear, "Let's go kill the one mos precious to you."
The strings made me walk along the hallway and down to the basement, where I turned on the power. As I was forced back up the stairs, not seeing anyone, I noticed that there were really thin pieces of rope attached to me. I tried to free myself, but to no avail. I was almost too weak to hold my own head up. I was forced down the hallway and an old sword was thrust into my hands. "No... Please no!" I choked back tears as I was forced to open the door.
Ciel was on the floor, Sebastian was knelt down next to him, Aberline was holding his arm with something red on it, and Madam Red was trying to treat his wound. They all looked up when I entered. "(F/n)?" Ciel asked, standing up from the floor.
"Please..." I pleaded softly to anyone, "H...Help....Me!!" on 'Me' I was thrust forward, my arms held high and I swung the sword at Sebastian. Luckily, he got out of the way just in time, but I just kept swinging the sword at him. "No!!" I cried, trying to stop, but I couldn't.
Ciel's brows furrowed before a look of realization washed over him. "Sebastian! It's Drossel Keinz!! He's controlling her like he did to Lizzie!"
Sebastian dodged another one of my swings. "I am aware of this. But I do not think that he is alone!"
Suddenly, a red figure landed behind Ciel. I shrieked. "Look out!!" Sebastian looked towards Ciel, and kicked the weapon out of the person's hand. Then I recognized him.
It was Grell.
"Hey! I haven't even gotten to do anything yet!" He whined as he hurried over to pick up his precious weapon.
Sebastian dodged yet another blow. "That was the whole point."
Two more figures came out from the hallways. It was Drossel Keinz, and none other than the Undertaker himself. "Well well well." The undertaker said, cackling. "What a tricky situation this is. Don't you think, Drossel?"
The man clicked his neck to the side. "And so I said to the Undertaker, 'Yes. It is quite a difficult one.' So I said to myself, 'I wonder if Sebastian Michaelis will be able to save everyone.'."
Once again, I was thrust forward, and forced to strike Sebastian, who, instead of dodging the sword, caught it, causing his once-white gloves to become bright red. Drossel tried to jerk the sword away from him, using me, but Sebastian wouldn't let go. I stared into his eyes, pleading, as he stared back into mine, almost... smirking? No... that couldn't be right.
"Grell. Some assistance, please?" The Undertaker asked, pulling out what seemed to be a giant death scythe.
Grell grinned, turning his chainsaw back on. "Of course!" He jumped towards Ciel, trying to hurt him. I almost screamed when Sebastian didn't move. But suddenly, Grell flew sideways and hit the front door. I glanced over to find Agni and Prince Soma standing by Ciel.
Sebastian smiled towards Agni. "One of my few friends is here. I appreciate the help."
Ciel stood up. "Soma. Agni. Can you take care of Grell?"
Agni bowed slightly. "I shall do my best."
Soma grinned. "Anything for my friends."
I looked around the best I could, before turning back to Sebastian. "Where's Rose?" I asked.
"Hiyaa!!!" Rose shouted, bringing a sword down where Drossel was standing. "Sebastian! I'll get this guy! You get the old man!" She suggested.
Sebastian nodded, letting go of my sword. "I'm counting on you. Do not let (F/n) get hurt"
Ciel growled a little. "Madam Red. Aberline. Let's get out of here."
Drossel jerked the strings, and I jumped in front of the door with my sword. "And so I said to them, 'Not so fast.I am not done with you'." Rose jumped at Drossel again, trying to cut the strings, but Drossel was too fast.
"Hey! Watch my face!" Grell shrieked as he dodged one of Agni's attacks.
The Undertaker dodged a few of Sebastian's attacks, before grinning. "Why don't we take this outside?" And with that, The Undertaker, Grell, Drossel, and I,ass jumped upwards, crashing through the ceiling and landing on the roof. Rose grabbed Agni and Prince Soma, flying them up to the roof, while Sebastian jumped.
"And so I said to them, 'Stop. Before (F/n) jumps off of the roof'." Drossel said, moving the strings so that I was standing right on the edge of the roof.
I started to shake as looked over the edge. "Se...Sebastian!" I struggled, "H-Help me!"
Sebastian took a step forward, "(F/n-"
"Ah, ah ah!" Drossel said, moving his hand slightly. I took one foot off of the roof, dangling it over the edge. "HELP!!!"
Sebastian gave a low growl, turning furious. "Let her go. Now!" He shouted.
Grell revved up his scythe and tossed it in the air, grinning. "It's time to end this!"
"NO!!!"
Prince Soma, Agni, Sebastian, and Rose all dove at the same time, trying to grab me. The chain saw sliced right through Drossel's strings, dropping my over the edge of the mansion like a lead weight. I could see everyone's sad and worried faces peering over the side of the manor, watching me plummet to the ground.
To my death.
'Huh.' I thought, almost laughing, 'I guess that the Undertaker was right.'
'Death really was close for me.'
