King Of Reapers Black Butler Fanfic

Chapter 15 - Lost in Pain

"Where?-" Elizabeth opened her eyes, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, she is lying down. She doesn't know where she is and why she's lying down, she held her head and rise up, "Where am I?" She looked around and saw nothing but the thick fog around her, she looked down, and noticed, she is sitting on nothing, but the floor doesn't seem transparent as well.

She stood up and looked around again, nothing seems to change, except that silhouettes appeared. "What is this place?"

"Hello?" Elizabeth stated, but after a second or two of waiting, no one answered. She atleast expected a whisper or an animal hustling, but there is really nothing. She saw what appears to be a huge tree, with no leaves. She started approaching it, and it became more clear, "Ugh, my head, it's been awhile since I felt this kind of pain again." Elizabeth lean on the tree, it is hard, but she needs to. She held the spot where the pain focuses, and the moment of touching it, she felt worse, "Ack!-" she looked at her hand, and it is bleeding, "Damn it."

She decided ignore the wound and looks around. There were figures of what seems to be rocks among the fog. There are also some tombstones around, Elizabeth confirmed that this is a cemetery. "Where is this place?" Elizabeth tries to find out, "I don't remember a cemetery in our place." she doesn't feel like standing up, so she turned her head around, as she turn right, she felt a bit of stiffness on her neck, a bit of pain felt. Well, there is really nothing she can do but to rest. She looked up, and dozed off, getting the hopes of recovering.

----------------------

----------------------

Ciel opened his eyes, he is Laying down beside Elizabeth, he stared at her, and wondered, how is she? Is she doing alright? When will she wake up? Anything that is about Elizabeth surrounds Ciel's head. He softly hugged her and kissed her cheeks. "Please come back." Ciel told her, he thought of saying it, having hopes that Elizabeth might hear him.

"Come back..."

"Come- back..."

"COME BACK."

Elizabeth woke up, still in that strange graveyard. She heard the words, but she doesn't know where did it came from, the voice is from Ciel, she looked around, hoping to see him, but she is still alone. She felt a lot better after sleeping, her wounds are now gone. She started walking around, still nothing but fog, trees, and tombstones.

"Ciel?" Elizabeth looked around, still hoping that he would be here somewhere, "where are you?" She shouted as loud as she can. Only her voice surronded the place as it echoes, still, no sign of Ciel.

"Ciel isn't here."

Elizabeth got surprised, for hours of being alone, finally someone answered. Strangely though, this isn't what she expected as a reply.

"Who are you?" Elizabeth asked as she looks around, finding the one who spoke. She can't believe someone already arrived, she smiled in relief, "well, where are we? Where are you? Can we go home?"

The strange voice chuckled, "Ha... You still have no Idea where YOU are."

"What do you mean-" Elizabeth suddenly felt pain in her head, she started seeing memories af what happened to the day she fought Alex, where she lost control, "ugh!!! Stop!" She closed her eyes and sat down covering her ears, almost crying.

After seconds of agony, it disappeared in an instant, she suddenly fell and breathed heavily, "ugh, my head." She scratched her head and opened her eyes, she got shocked, she was again, in another place. "Damn it, don't play tricks on me, you Demon!"

"What? Who are calling Demon?"

Elizabeth's eyes widened she felt disappointed at herself, who is she calling demon? After all the things that happened, she don't know who to call demon, these things made her grit her teeth and get angry, she went silent, trying to think her words to say.

"Do you have an Idea where you are now?" The voice slowly becomes that of a woman, again a familiar one.

"Y-You..." Elizabeth suddenly got flashes of her eating Yvette, she made a huge bet guessing that it was her. She made it look like she knew, "You're Yvette, aren't you?"

The voice exhaled, "haha-" suddenly a shape of a woman started forming, shadows started gathering at the woman, "hahahahaha, I knew you would guess that!" A face started forming, it is Yvette, "you know, eating my soul and absorbing my power, got consequences too."

"I don't care! Just give my body back!" Elizabeth ran towards Yvette, she leaped to her hoping she would hit her. Yvette took a side step, the took Elizabeth's hand, she put her face close to her, "No you won't."

"Let me go!" Elizabeth struggled, she forcefully kicked Yvette, letting her free.

"You know, one of us must die." Yvette grinned, she looked at Elizabeth with an intent to kill.

"I know, that is why I must kill you." Elizabeth got angry, she gritted her teeth, she realized what have she done. Then she thought, there is nothing she could do but this.

----------------------

----------------------

"Ugh~" Elizabeth started m.o.a.ning in pain, while still unconscious, Ciel quickly looked at her, "Elizabeth? Elizabeth! Wake up!" Ciel shake her a bit, "hey, please." he started to tear up, he suddenly remembered what Alex said to him. So he shook his head, wipe his tears and and felt confident. "Just, hang in there." and he smiled a bit.

----------------------

----------------------

Elizabeth got her eyes glowing while choking Yvette, she's too angry to say something, she just slowly tightens her hand.

"So this is the real you." Yvette smiled weakly, she knew she will really die, she can't believe she will be killed by humans.

Elizabeth's eyes widened as she heard those words, it made her grit her teeth, then she asked herself, what choice does she have? "Is there anything else that I could've done?"

"haha-" Yvette closed her eyes, "No, there's no more."

----------------------

----------------------

The huge doors of the room suddenly opened, Ciel got shocked and quickly looked at the doors, he saw Neo panting, looking really tired, "Sir Phantomhive! Vampires are attacking, and we need your help!"

"What? Now?!" Ciel looked at Elizabeth, then looked back at Neo, "I can't leave her like this! Where's Alex?" Ciel started to looked worried, "Can't he take care of it?!"

"He can but-" Neo gulped.

"But what?!" Ciel replied as soon as he talked, he didn't know what to do, whether to help Alex or guard Elizabeth, he slowly started shaking, he can't think of a plan, he his vision started to black out.

"Mi'lord is gonna die soon." Neo kneeled, "I need your help, sir Phantomhive." Neo started tearing a bit. Ciel's vision suddenly cleared, he snapped out of being mind blocked, he remembered Sebastian, he sighed and stood up, he went to Neo and placed his hand to his shoulder.

"I may not help you, but-" Ciel closed his eyes and removed his eyepatch, he opened them and started calling, "Sebastian, I summon you here, now!" Sebastian is seen kneeling beside Neo in an instant. "But maybe he can help you, isn't that right Sebastian?"

"Perhaps mi'lord." Sebastiab stood up with a confident smile, "now, please lead the way, Neo."

Neo got his eyes wide out of surpris.e.m.e.nt, "o-... Okay, come on quick, follow me." Neo quickly stood up and starts running out of the room, Sebastian stood up as well, he looked at Ciel, "Should I follow him master?"

"Should you not?" Ciel closed his eyes and went to Elizabeth, "I think the answer is rather obvious." He sat down beside Elizabeth and opened his eyes.

"It's just there is this presence I felt just outside the room, mi'lord." Sebastian frowned and looked at the doors, "would you mind coming out of there? Whoever you are." He began to smile, his eyes shined purple.

"Hehe-" A woman took a step, letting her leg at the front door, "how did you know I was here?" a tall woman with a broken horn went out, the horn is on her right, she got crimson red eyes, and a slightly longer bob haircut, "Damn having a demon enemy sucks you know?"

"What do you need? Why are you here?" Sebastian asked, he slowly get butter knives from his inner coat pocket.

"There is one thing I need..." The woman started to move forward slowly, "got an idea of who I need?"*

"Take another step, and your head is on the floor." Ciel made a warning, "I do not want making a mess in other's home, I suggest you not taking a step." he added.

"I agree master, it does seem quite stressful dealing with her blood on the walls" Sebastian smiled and looked at the woman, "now now, please leave the room."

"I can't you know?" the woman shrugged, "Like what I said, I need someone from here-" as soon as she took at step, Sebastian quickly threw one of his knives aiming to her hand, Sebastian expected the hand to be severed, it did not, he just saw it with claws now.

"Apologies master, but it looks like we have to get dirty." Sebastian apologized with a serious face, "may I?" he looked at Ciel.

"We have no choice, do we?" Ciel replied, he looked at the woman, he smiled, "Go on, kill."

"Yes, mi'lord." Sebastian answered with a smile, he quickly took out more knives, this time they are butter knives no more, they're the sharp ones.

"Oh, wow, you really are gonna fight me." The woman started smiling, no, she isn't just smiling, her smiles turned into a scary grin, her eyes started to have killing intent, her broken horn grows slowly as she took another step, she suddenly disappeared.

Sebastian's eyes widened, she felt her presence somewhere on his right, he looked there and started to block with his knives, a loud sound of metal echoes the room, the woman looked on Sebastian, "Let us play, little pup." Her eyes glowed.

----------------------

----------------------

Elizabeth got really angry as she heard Yvette's answers, she realized something, then she smiled, "Fine, I'll just do what I have done to you before."

"Heh..." Yvette smiled weakly again, "Alright-"

Sounds of flesh tearing, and bones crushing were heard, as open as the place seems, the sounds echoed the place. "Use my power to your liking, master." The voice of Yvette went to Elizabeth's ears as her final moment, Elizabeth looked up in the foggy skies, she closed her eyes and smiled, "Very well."

The whole place started crumbling the world turning into darkness, Elizabeth looked around, the place is too dark to even see herself.

"Hello?" Elizabeth looked around.

"Eliz...." She heard Ciel's voice.

"Eliza..." And heard it again.

"Who? Me!" Elizabeth tries to find where it is from, "Ciel! Where are you?!"

"Elizabeth!"

"Wha-, what? What happened?" Elizabeth suddenly starts seeing things, she realized, she have awoken from that place. She quickly raised up, and saw Ciel, as soon as they made eye contact, they hugged each other tightly.

"You, you're back." Ciel closed his eyes in both happiness and distress. He quickly looked behind him and at Sebastian, "fight him with all you got Sebastian, that is an Order!"

"Yes mi'lord." He smiled and glanced on Ciel while successfully dodging each attack from the woman. He continued dodging until the woman disappeared again, "ugh!~" Sebastian suddenly got caught by the woman, pinning him down in the neck, then crashed him down, the floor cracked, making Sebastian unable to move, "It seems..." Sebastian frowned and closed his eyes, his vision getting blurred, and strength slowly weakening, "I have failed again, master." He passed out. Seems like the woman is too strong for him.

"There there, little Pup, time to sleep for awhile." The woman's grin turned into a pleasant smile, yet her eyes still show evil intent, she looked at Elizabeth, Ciel quickly blocked the way. The woman got pissed, "what is wrong with you guys? Get out of my way."

"Who are you anyway?!" Ciel asked angrily, "Are you the one responsible for the attack at this place?"

"Me?" The woman bursted out laughing, "wha-, why would I be in charge of this?" She look at the ceiling, and smiled, "I am not worthy of leading people, someone at the upper floor is."

"I came here for her." She pointed at Elizabeth, "She needs to be brought to my master." Ciel's eyes widened, he fears that after losing her once, he might lose her again.

"No!" Ciel angrily answered, "I will not give her to anyone else!" His eyes glowed and he get off the bed, Elizabeth tightly holds Ciel's hand, not letting him go. Ciel turned around and looked at her, "worry not, run away while I'm keeping her busy." He smiled weakly and softly kissed her cheeks.

"N-No..." Elizabeth's eyes started filling up tears as Ciel walks towards the woman. She could've hold him tightly not letting him go, seems like there was no choice. It angered her that she is that helpless, she wished that she would be able to defeat that woman.

"You," Ciel trembles while looking at the woman, he knows that he is no match for her, he guessed his goal was just to let Elizabeth escape, while buying the woman time, "pass through me first before you pass over her."

The woman giggled, "alright." She took a step forward and bowed, "Before I start ripping you arms off, you better know me first." Her fingers began growing claws again, "The name's Avrora Ethers, and it will be p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e killing you." Avrora smiled.

"Tch." Ciel ran towards Avrora and tries to kick her, she evaded with a disappointed look on him, Ciel got more angry, he keeps on punching, none of it landed successfully on her. "Stay still, damn it!"

Avrora decided to take his punch, she won't evade it, but she blocked it with her two arms. In a split second, the noise of the punch echoed the room, as it looked successful, Ciel thought she got knocked out and quickly glanced on Elizabeth, "Lizzy, run now-" Ciel quickly flew away from Avrora's kick, he hits the wall and breaks it. Avrora took a step forward as Ciel falls down with huge debris of rock above him, "Never leave your sight at your enemies." She added, "now" she looked at Elizabeth.

"Ciel!" Elizabeth cried more, she don't know what to do, she looked at Avrora slowly approaching her, she suddenly felt warm hands holding her cheeks, and someone started to whisper.

"Use my power, master."

She remembered what she have done in order to get stronger, she looked at her hand and felt power in them, she looked at Avrora again, she felt so mad just by looking at her. At the middle of Avora's approach, she suddenly stopped, she looked carefully at Elizabeth and she sensed such power building up from her. She quickly jumped to back off, "my my," she smiled, "look who has such killing intent now." she giggled.

With Elizabeth's angry stare at her, for a second she looked at her in confusion, her anger starts to fade off, no more killing intent, Avrora continued to approach her, until she placed her leg on the edge of the bed, "Come with me, Elizabeth."

Elizabeth here, with a normal face, her eyes closed with a smile. Sounds of cracking bones traveled across the room, with Avrora flying mid air, and Elizabeth out of the bed, her eyes glowed like Emeralds in the mines glowed as discovered, "Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands, Ms. Avrora." She dusted her clothes like it was covered in dust.

Avrora painfully twisted her neck back to normal, she got pissed being kicked like just like that. "You dare hurt a demon?-" She got landed in the head as Elizabeth jumped at her, even with her eyes closed and head on the ground, she can sense Elizabeth's true power.

"Of course I would, after all the trouble you have caused at my dearest husband." Elizabeth took a step back, she kneeled and grabbed Avrora's head, and touched her jawline, her eyes twitching and her face bleeding. Elizabeth's face looks so mad, "but, where are my manners?" She smiled again, she held Avrora's hair and crashed her head on the ground, she jumped back near to the bed, and sat down with one of her leg on top of another.

"Let us proceed with proper introductions first." Elizabeth's eyes glowed, "I am-" she stopped mid way, a kick was going at her, she caught Avrora's foot like it was a thrown ball, pulled her leg and punched her abdomen going down to the ground, "I can't believe you interrupted our introductions, such a shame." Elizabeth stepped on Avrora's head, preventing her from moving, "Okay, let us continue, I am Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford." Elizabeth smiled gently, "I am the daughter of Marquess of Midford, the Head of the Order of the British Empire, Alexis Leon Midford." Elizabeth chuckled, "And perhaps I already know you, Ms. Avrora Ethers."

Avrora on the other hand, is too weak to answer anything, she feels this weird chills on her back, from sensing Elizabeth's power, almost as if her mind is scarred left by the strength of Elizabeth, she started trembling in fear, "I-"

"I am hungry." Elizabeth stated before Avrora finished hers, those words made Avrora more scared, she remembered that she was warmed about a female demon eating another demon, s.u.c.k.i.n.g their strength and power for herself. It made her realize that she might be her next meal.

"What do they say again in those fancy restaurants?" Elizabeth smiled, her eyes glowed again, Avrora trembled in fear knowing her demise is near, "Oh I got it!" She remembered, then her voice starts to sound distorted, "Bon Apetit-" she stated with Avrora's eyes widened.

----------------------

----------------------

On the upper floors, it is a bloody mess, ghouls flooded the entrance of the Manor, with Mey-Rin shooting, Finny bashing skulls, and Bardroy, he is outside with Baltazar slaves, using his flame thrower to burn the ghouls to ashes. Neo on the other hand, is in the front yard protecting the helpless werewolves, those who can fight, are along with Neo. Janna and the children are on their way to the place called "safe zone". On the lower floors next to the Slave's Dressing room, Azuria is with them, on watch. Ruby, outside as well, fighting demons and vampires with a gentle smile.

While on Alex, skull crushed, and limbs broken, all done by Houston on the back yard, where Lynda and Ludger are on a fight with other Vampires and Demons.

"Feel my Anger!" Houston stated while fighting, her face carries a grin like no other. She felt so good that she was able to kill him, but, still something is still not right. She looked carefully at his corpse, suddenly, his hand twitched. "Don't you live again you Piece of Sh*t!" Houston stepped on his hand and crushed it.

Lynda finally killed a demon and then glanced at Houston with an angry face. Suddenly, everything went gray, even the colour of Blood to the colour of the flowers, all were colourless, nothing seems to be moving, time has stopped.

----------------------

----------------------

On a place where seems to be beyond imagination, a place further than the whole universe, there where three thrones aligned, Lucifer seems like he was sitting there for about an hour, on the right, there sits Michael the Archangel, the both of them are watching something, their eyes reflects what seems to be a scene where Alex got beaten.

"Wow, I did not expect him to he beaten soon." Lucifer started laughing out of excitement. While Michael, he just sits there with his eyes awed not at Alex, but at Houston.

"But, perhaps you know that Alex isn't killed ye-"

"Yeah Yeah," Lucifer pouted, "you ruined yet another scene." They seems to be going along.

A second of silence later, a footstep is heard, both their eyes widened, as they knew Alex entered the place. "Have I bothered?"

"No no, Not at all." Lucifer answered with a smile. He closed his eyes and then looked again at the paused scene.

"Thank goodness." Alex smiled with him and passed Michael, he glanced at him, he looks somewhat disappointed. He quickly sat down in the middle and looked around, he asked Michael, "What seems to be the problem?"

"Why do you let enemies suffer?" Michael broke the easy atmosphere with that question, all their faces went serious and started preventing eye contact.

"Why you ask?" Alex replied, he smiled at him with his eyes glowing, "you see-," he waved at the scene they were looking, then the scene started again, they looked at Houston who is giving off an arrogant smile, "this is why."

"They cling on this feeling of hope that I can be defeated, which gives them more despair when things go south." Alex stood up and went at what seems to be a huge window, where the scene is, he pointed directly at Houston's smile, "Even if they know, deep within their hearts and mind, no matter how strong they get, they can never be strong as us, that is why-," he went to his seat and sits down, "I will let them experience this kind of misery, in all kinds of forms," he raised three fingers, "Mentally, Physically, and of course Spiritually." He chuckled a bit, "I want those who belittle me know their place, who they're talking to, and who they're fighting."

Michael smiled weakly, "I see," he stood looked at the screen, "but still I would give them such painless deaths if I were you."

"We have different minds, but," he stood up and started walking towards a black large square, on the place where he was from, he stood there and looked at Michael, "I bet that if you were me, you would do the same."

Silence entered the place, getting more awkward, "anyway, I gotta be on the front stage soon, goodbye!" Alex smiled and went in the dark square.

"He never disappoints me." Lucifer smiled.

"I agree, he is always quite interesting." Michael looked back at the scene and watched with Lucifer.

----------------------

----------------------

As the time continued, back to where it was, with everything in place, on Lynda's kill, she looked at Alex and shouted, "Master!" Her wings flapped and she flew across the yard and into Houston.

Houston tried to dodge, she suddenly felt something held her hand and prevent her to move, she felt chills in her spine, what made her scared isn't because of Lynda's painful attack, but rather what's on the ground going back to life. Houston looked at the ground and saw a huge puddle of blood, it was moving like someone is inside, she started shivering in anger and fear. She also noticed that Lynda started flying towards her again, her eyes widened in anger, she forcefully stood up properly, ripping her hands apart as she dodges Lynda's attack. "Stay, Down!" Houston hits Lynda using her head, Lynda fell down on the puddle, making her clothes soaked in blood.

Houston quickly bit Lynda's wings, it tastes quite bad, but she needs it to heal. Lynda's wings started to disappear, she g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain, her back starts to feel numb and painful, as if she can't control her wings anymore. The wings turned red and slowly melted away, mixing with the blood on the puddle, Lynda's eyes started tearing up as she watches her wings disappear. "No! No No No No!" She started looking for the blood to regain her wings, although she knows she won't have it anymore, she still clings on this tiny bit of hope.

Houston backs away, her back bulged like something is going out, the place where she stands got stained and a splatting sound was heard, it is her turn to grow wings, she chuckled, "when I say stay down, I mean it." Houston's eyes glowed. She looked at Lynda where her eyes can't be seen, she just stared at the puddle in despair.

"Wow, I did not expect that to happen," Alex appeared to be sitting down on a chair just beside the door to the Manor, as if he was watching the whole time. Both Lynda and Houston's eyes were widened as he stood up, "anyway, our fight continues now-"

"No, not today." Houston smiled, "thanks for this by the way-" she quickly evaded an attack from below, she looked down and saw a woman ducking, holding her scythe, with her eyes wide open, glowing violet.

"No one is getting out of here." Aurora stood up, her eyes filled with hostility towards Houston, she swiftly waved her scythe, trying to hit Houston, "Especially you."

Houston tries to catch up and evade Aurora's attacks, it is no use, good thing she managed to keep the wounds shallow and minimal, if she won't evade, who knew if she will still be in one piece. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, she realized she was hit by Aurora's attack, she is too fast for her to evade. The embedded scythe in her stomach prevented her move. She looked at Aurora and noticed that she wasn't looking at her, she's looking someone behind her.

"Now."

Houston's eyes widened as she heard those words, she knew something will happen, something really bad. Her instincts kicked in and forced herself to remove the scythe. She looks crippled from what she did, but at least she managed to dodge the finishing blow.

"Wow, did not expect that to happen." Arthur landed two steps away from Houston, he sheathed back his sword and looked at Aurora, "You said you would keep him in place."

Aurora smirked, then she smiled looking at Houston, "Okay! I'll do it again." Houston's eyes widened as she heard those words, she quickly turned around them and started flapping her wings.

"Damn it! I'm out of here!" She jumped high and started flying away, the two siblings of Alex tried to chase her, but they couldn't catch up, Alex ordered to clear the whole mess instead.

Alex stood up in his chair, went to Lynda and covered her using his coat, she got half n.a.k.e.d, her clothes she is using is only for the times she flaps her wings, those were all behind. As Lynda felt the coat covering her, her eyes teared up and cried silently in the puddle of blood, that's the least she could do, to prevent bothering Alex furthermore.

Alex sat down in a tucked position, letting him see Lynda on eye level. He smiled gently at her, "It's okay." He said that as if there is hope getting back her wings. He stood up and stretched, "Be stronger, just like the request you asked for."

"Do you want to be stronger?" Alex asked, Lynda didn't answer, but from her looks, she was that desperate. She would feel ashamed asking for a favour like that. She just nodded anyway, getting this feeling of guilt.

As Alex expected, he smiled, and thought of a way for her to be stronger. His eyes glowed, and snapped his fingers. Lynda's eyes widened, the blood puddle turned like icicles and pierced through her. Her face started to have red veins her pupils turning red, the pain was excruciating, she looked at Alex, and saw that he was just watching, at that point, she felt like all of this was part of his plan, she started to be carried by the blood, until she was mid air, she look up at the sky and at the huge glowing moon. It was so beautiful, that the pain of her mind and body got covered by the beauty of the moon. As if she was watching something beyond the skies. Her eyes reflected the stars as her body changes, she felt rejuvenated just by glaring, she felt somehow that Alex is part of what she is seeing, that somehow, she was just looking at him.

Lynda tried touching the skies, she stuttered while trying to speak, "M-my... Lord-...." She passed out with her eyes closed.
