Chapter 14 - Hors de contrôle

0900, 9 am...

"So, Mr. Baltazar, what do you think happened to my wife?" A cl.i.c.k.i.n.g sound echoed the room as Ciel took a sip from his teacup and placed it down, they were in Alex's study. Alex is just there sitting while reading a book, he didn't mind the question and answered it in a simple way.

"Why not ask her?" Alex focused on reading something, he took a sip, glanced at Ciel and then went back to read his book. The answer made a bit Ciel disappointed, however, it is the only answer to it.

Ciel faked a cough, "I need your help, please check her out." Ciel took a sip again, "I will go with you."

Alex smiled as he continues reading, he liked the Idea of testing Elizabeth's strength. Alex looked at Ciel, he closed the book and finished his coffee, "Very well." Alex stood up and took another book, "you see, here are the two misdeeds that demons should not do, this is the orders of Lucifer himself." Alex put out his point finger, "The first rule is, One shall not Imitate a demons name, it is said that it is a form of mockery to them." Alex smiled, "You see, you just named your daughter Azazel, one of the dukes in hell, what do you think Azazel is feeling now?"

Ciel's eyes widened, he realized the mistake he have done, "Damn it, how do I fix this?" Ciel rubbed his temples, he didn't know that would happen.

"Oh you are not done yet," Alex looked at the book and scanned the pages, then found the page he was looking for, "and the second rule, this is the most evil deed among demonkind, Cannibalism." Alex shrugged as the realization of Irony, "I know Demons are evil, but I didnt expect them to have evil deeds that you shouldn't be doing." Alex closed the book, "And your wife just ate a demon."

Ciel stood up, "What!?" He waved his hand, "it is impossible!"

"Impossible, you say?" Alex walked slowly and returned the book, as he was standing beside the bookshelf, he turned around and looked at Ciel, "then where do you think Yvette is now?"

Ciel's eyes widened again, he realized this just now, how foolish of him not to notice, "Then you are saying, we are worse than demons?"

"I didn't say any of those, I just said, you broke the demon's rules." Alex sat back down, "with you naming your daughter Azazel and Elizabeth eating a demon, looks like you are partners in crime." Alex chuckled.

Ciel smiled, "I don't care, I was once a human anyway." He took another sip of his tea.

"Well, that is true, now come on," Alex stood up and went to the door, "let us see how strong she is now."

Ciel finished his cup, "wait for me." Then he stood up and started to catch up with Alex.

"I am gonna spar someone?" Elizabeth got up on the bed, she is still on her night clothes, she sighed, she looked at her hand and asked, what happened to her?

"Yes, so please prepare, I and Ciel will wait for you in the training grounds, see you later." Alex smiled, he turned around and left.

Ciel went to her and kissed her forehead, "Good luck, my dear." Ciel glanced at her for awhile, he now kissed her lips, and waved goodbye.

She don't know, but she is trying to ignore the fact that she changed, so she just started to do what she is told, to prepare herself and spar with Alex. She got this feeling of fear yet courage. As she stripped down, she went into the bathroom and started to clean herself, she scrubbed her skin softly while wondering in her thoughts, and as soon as she started to rinse herself, she thought of who will be her opponent. She sighed, she doesn't want to hurt anybody, but she have to. As she stepped out of the bathroom, she dried her self up, and prepared.

She looked into the mirror, she stared at herself, she watched her eyes glowed, suddenly, she saw Yvette behind her, standing with her eyes blank and shows no emtion, it slowly looked at Elizabeth, and pointed her, she slowly approached Elizabeth and said, "Die..."

This scared Elizabeth and made her look behind, strange as it seems, she saw nothing. It send down chills in her spine. She looked down at the table and slowly, tears flowed down her cheeks, she got this feeling that she should've just gave her another chance, but there is a possibility that she will return, she got no other choice for her to be really safe. She wiped her tears and tried to be strong, she remembered what Ciel told her, -Kill, or be Killed.-

As she stepped out, she saw Lynda leaning over a wall facing her, then she bowed, "Mrs. Phantomhive, mi'lord is waiting for you, please follow me." Lynda smiled and started walking, Elizabeth followed, she didn't want to make eye contact with Lynda, she just want ta ask a question, "Uhm, Lynda?" Elizabeth spoke as she waited for a reply.

"Huh? What is it?" Lynda looked at Elizabeth, she seems sad, and scared.

Elizabeth bit her lip a bit, but then looked at her, "What you think will happen when you ate another one of your kind?"

"Hm." Lynda faced the way she's heading, and then spoke, "Do you think there is another one of my Kind? A creation of mi'lord?" Lynda felt a bit lonely, "I do not even have a name for my species."

Elizabeth got her eyes widened, who would've thought a name for her kind. Having small twisted horns, black wings, two souls in a body, and an overwhelming strength, speed and knowledge, "You are right."

"But, before, Evelyn and Emerald never ate their own kind, the didn't drink blood of their own species, Vampires Rather." Lynda smiled, she is talking about herself, "Why don't you ask the Traitor for that?" Lynda looked at Elizabeth, "We'll ask her later, we have arrived at the training grounds."

Lynda opened the door, and there inside, they both saw Alex standing, he lifted his sword and pointed it at Elizabeth, "Well, let us see what you've got."

"Me?! What?" Elizabeth stepped back, then she eased off, she stepped forward and sighed, "Fine, I am pretty curious about my newfound strength." She smiled a bit, then smoke appeared and surrounded her, the color of the smoke is strange, it is crimson. Suddenly, two long horns started growing on Elizabeth's head, it is a bit curved, it is like the horns were facing each other. Then her nails became a bit long, also a tail appeared, the tail got a little spear like hook, ready to pierce through. Elizabeth covers her face with her hands, and chuckled, "I feel a lot better, shall we Dance?"

"Yes, we shall." Alex answered, he seems a bit nervous, with a feeling of excitement as well, he wants to find out her strength, but something's not right about her.

For a split second loud metallic crashing sounds were heard, as Elizabeth's claws clashed with Alex's Sword second by second. The fight intensifies, slowly Alex felt a dark aura being released by Elizabeth. Lynda got her eyes wide, she felt danger beside Alex, she turned around and opened the door, she saw Alex fighting Elizabeth. Suddenly, Elizabeth glanced at Lynda with a scary grin, she flashed in front of Lynda and punched her so strong in the abdomen, Lynda spat blood, she flew up high, Elizabeth jumped and reached her, then she spun around and kicked Lynda, forcefully blasting her off the wall, dust clouds formed, countless debris flew away. Elizabeth landed and ran to her, suddenly, Alex appeared in front of her, "I am your partner in the dance, Yes?"

"Oh right." Elizabeth answered then chuckled, she tried to slash Alex, he evaded the attack and countered, Alex slit through the iron-hard nails, Elizabeth is forced to back off, or the Nails on her other hand would be gone too. She started to grin, more smoke surrounds her, repairing her nails and as the smoke disappear, more tails can be seen behind her, it started pointing at Alex, "Apologies for awhile ago," Elizabeth chuckled, "I shall make it up to you by Dancing with you with everything I have." Elizabeth leaps towards Alex and started laughing. Her laugh send shivers to Ciel, she looks like a totally different person, the thought of it worries him, who knows what happened to her.

"The Dance is getting interesting," Alex smiled, "But it has to come to an end." Alex quickly went behind Elizabeth's back and slashed her tails, cutting all of it. Elizabeth g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain, she managed to stand tried to hit Alex. Alex disappeared again and this time went in front of her, and slashed her Fingers. Elizabeth gritted her teeth, her red eyes suddenly glowed, she shouted really loud and went out of control, Alex sensed the energy around her, it continuously becomes stronger and stronger. So he stepped back, and his smile went into a serious frown.

"Alex, what is happening to her?" Ciel jumped down to Alex and stood beside him.

"She is clearly not in herself." The dark energy reflected on his eyes as he watched how Elizabeth shouted, "Her strength it is clearly out of any demon's league, it is rising up until to the strength of a duke, Azazel."

"What!?" Ciel sweats in fear, he don't know what to do for Elizabeth, he looked down on the ground in silence. And for awhile, tears dripped from his face and got his shoes wet, "It is his first time to cry like this again, of all the relative he lost, he finally found a loved one. He can't believe he is going to lose someone like that. "Can you please-? Save her?"

Alex can relate with him, he sighed, "Of course, who am I to not help?" Alex kneeled down, "Although, once I save her, she must face something to wake up again."

"What do you mean?" Ciel asked a bit angrily, he wiped his tears of and looked at Alex.

"Her power is uncontrollable, it means that someone is trying to take control over her body." Alex looked at Ciel, "Look how she moves, that isn't the Elizabeth you used to know." Both Alex and Ciel looked at Elizabeth. She is just standing there looking up high and shouting, pretty much struggling on something.

"Now, in 10 seconds she will not be the old Elizabeth you once knew, so please wait here." Alex glanced at Ciel with a soft smile, then he looked again at Elizabeth, her skin on her feet is turning purple, the purple color slowly spreads through her body. "Goodness, it's spreading really fast, excuse me for awhile Mr. Phantomhive." Alex started walking towards Elizabeth, she isn't moving, her eyes were wide open, still looking up at the sky, she is breathing heavily, and her energy is still growing, "For the love of Ciel to you, I must do this for the sake of you and him."

A splatting sound breaks through the silence of the place, both Elizabeth and Ciel's eyes got wide from the happening, Elizabeth came back to her senses, the purple color spreading to her body stopped, suddenly, the purple color covering her body started cracking. It disappeared as it shatters away, her vision seems to be blurry, and as what she can see, she saw Alex in front of her, and Ciel from afar, running towards her. She felt really numb but with a sharp pain in her c.h.e.s.t. "Why is it so painful-" Her sight slowly darkens as she passes out. She got caught by Alex before she hit the ground. Ciel finally reached them, "What happened to her- Tell!" Ciel took and carried Elizabeth, him and Alex stood up, "She passed out, but she is fine." Alex replied with a convincing and a confident tone, "As I said earlier, she is gonna face someone, that someone is the one she just ate, you know who I am talking about, right?" Alex looked at Ciel, he didn't looked at Alex, but replied right away, "Yes, I know, now let us place her somewhere safe, can we?"

"Right-o." Alex started walking fast, outside the training grounds and into the Hallways, "Come on, follow." They reached the end of the Hallway, and what it seems, they are going down to the Bas.e.m.e.nt.

"What, we are going to the Dungeon?" Ciel asked, Alex did not answer, but strange, they did not reached another end of the hallway in the bas.e.m.e.nt, they turned right jut before the end. Then they faced a huge door, with carvings of what seems to be chants in another language. Also, thousands of paper with strange writings posted on each end of the walls.

"Not a dungeon, but stranger than a Dungeon." Alex rubbed his hands, and it glowed bright yellow, he blew his hands and placed them on the each door knobs, it opened loudly with a screech like an ancient door rusting away silently.

Inside, they saw a huge bed with curve designs, and it is glowing shrap purple, just by looking at it, Ciel felt his energy restoring, it gave him the feeling of laying down on it. He tolerated himself and decided to distract himself by checking the whole place. The room has the size of about half of the whole Manor. Ciel noticed a huge painting of someone on one end of the room, looks really close to Azuria, it also has Cat Ears, And a complete Nine Fox Tails, it has three whiskers on each cheek and has red glowy eyes, she was sitting on a huge chair. Ciel looked on the other end of the room, he saw the Chair where the woman was sitting, he realized, it was a throne. Lost in thought, Alex loudly dusted off the bed and looked at Ciel with a serious face, "Place her here." Alex straightened the bed sheets.

"What is this place?" Ciel asked while following Alex's instructions.

"After my old Manor burned down, I found out that the room where I kept my impportant stuff was still in one piece, unburned." Alex smiled a bit in relief, "So a few days after this new Manor got built, me myself transferred my stuff here."

"This is your stuff?" Ciel asked again, he sat down on the bed, and the feeling of his energy being restored got stronger. "What kind of bed is this?"

Alex sat down on the chair beside the bed, "Honestly, this is the things of Azraille, my wife."

Ciel got surprised, "why did you decide to place Elizabeth here?"

Alex looked at Ciel, "This Bed restores vitality, energy and replenishes hunger, I placed her here, because there will be a possibility to take her awhile for her to wake up again."

"Is that so?" Ciel looked at his l.a.p, "That is Azraille her self right?" He looked at the Painting, it is like it is staring at the two of them.

"Yes, her eyes are as beautiful like that, no." Alex rested down, "Her eyes were way more beautiful than in that painting, it is beyond comparison, perhaps, it was Ethereal."

"All of this is, is Azraille's things?" Ciel looked at Alex.

"Yes, and I thought, this will be a suitable place for a Challenged Demon like Elizabeth." Alex replied without looking at Ciel.

"Do you think," Ciel looked at his l.a.p again, he clenched his fists, "She will wake up again?"

"Of course she will, she won't leave you and your daughter like this, would she?" Alex smiled at him and placed his hand on Ciel's shoulder.

"I hope she won't." Ciel got his hopes up.

Alex looked at Elizabeth, "Look at both of you, helping each other to survive." Alex smiled, "That's so exciting, I wonder what will happen for the both of you in the near future."

Alex stood up and sat back to the chair he is sitting before, "I'll wait for her, what about you?"

"Of course, I have to." Ciel looked at Alex, "what kind of a Husband am I to leave her alone?" He smiled a bit, but he didn't show it to Alex.

"A husband huh?" Alex smirked, then he stood up, he started walking towards the door, and as he reaches it, he looked at Ciel, "I'll be leaving, do not break anything here," Alex gave Ciel a serious look, "Bye!" Then he smiled as he slowly closed the door.

Ciel smirked back, until Alex closed the door. That moment, Ciel suddenly sighed, he looked at Elizabeth, and began to worry more, he wants to help, but, this is the only help he can do. He can't go into the place where Elizabeth is awake. "Elizabeth," Ciel started to cry, his cries were silent, but from his tears, emotions can be felt wuth every drop, "Please come back."
