-Lost in time- Sebastian michaelis x Modern! Reader chapter 5, "The kiss of death"

Edited in 27th of July, 2015

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



”Aagh!” ___ howled as Sebastian pulled the strings of her new corset tight.



It was The day: the day of the dance party.



Mey-Rin did her best to prepare ___ for the late night's event but Sebastian was the only who could tie her new corset. It was the best one for her gown so she had no choice.



Wait a second... she had. To sit down and rebell but it would have been just plain childish and waste of time.



Besides... She had asumed that Sebastian had seen worse than her undergarment quite recently so she decided to go on with these strange old habits.



He tied the strings together. ”I'm done,” he smiled. ”Now excuse me, I have to prepare young master.” He left the room without taking any further look at ____. She was glad about this.



”Now, let's put that dress on you,” Mey-Rin said and took a hold of the dress.



She jumped into the dress and let Mey-Rin do her magic with ___'s hair.



~*~



Ciel walked back and forth at the front doors. The carriages were waiting outside with a proper driver. Sebastian was all dressed up as well and he wore glasses for some strange reason.



”What's taking her so long?” Ciel muttered impatiently. They were both ready to leave but the lady was nowhere to be seen.



”Calm down, master. Women's preparations take time. True gentlemen always wait,” Sebastian smiled and Ciel stopped on his tracks and looked at the clock in distance.



”Our target won't disappear from the party so there's no need to be so restless,” Sebastian reminded.



”I know,” Ciel pouted. The only reason he went for the party was simply because of its' host, otherwise he would've declined it like every other invitations and burned the letters. He hated socializing above all.



Suddenly they heard the sound of someone closing the door in the distance. They both were looking at the direction as ___ came to sight. Nether of them had actually saw the dress since miss Nina had done so many changes to it and finally kicked them out of the room for a moment. They both looked at her and it seemed that they both had lost their voices.



Her dress was A-line dress that folded elgenatly to the legs. She was wearing a scarf on her shoulders but under it was nothing to cover them. The dress was (favorite color) and her hair was tied up. She wore jewelry that matched her outfit brilliantly.



She noticed males' stares and was deeply surpised by them. ”...What?” she blushed.



”You look...” Ciel started but was looking for the perfect word to end it. ”Beautiful...” he mumbled. Sebastian laughed at his master's reaction. Ciel blushed in embarrasment and told them to hurry up to carriage.



They all stepped in and Sebastian gave the order to drive off.



The ride was bouncy and kinda awkward while they just silently looked at each other.



”____?” Ciel asked.



”What is it?” she asked. It was strange to see Ciel so fancy.



”Your name for tonight is Rebecca Stoner. You are my guest for a short time with your company,” he said and turned to Sebastian who sat next to her.



”But why all this secrecy?” She asked bluntly.



Ciel hesitated for a moment. ”The host of the party isn't all that there seems. He isn't trust worthy.” He didn't speak the whole truth. Queen has taken interest in his business overseas and the fact that there's been a reason suspect that he had something to do with trades of 'blood diamonds'. It is only naive to think that he wouldn't be aware how the diamonds come to his clients.



She doubed that there was more than he was telling. Perhaps it was the best that she had decided to leave couple details untold as well.



She noticed Sebastian smiling at her. ”There's no need to be nervous. This is nothing but a party after all. I'm sure that you amaze everyone with your skills.” she was ready to roll her eyes. After training everything she needed from talking to walking, she seriously believed that she was doing fine.



The only thing to worry was that she was feeling anxious... slightly not well actually. She was unsure if it was a sign of flu but she hoped that it was just nervousness like Sebastian had suggested.



”Yeah, I'm fine,” she answered back to him.



Soon they reached the gates of a fancy mansion. Carriage went on its way, leaving the trio standing there in the moonlight.



”My lady?” Sebastian winked at her as he offered his arm to her. She grabbed his arm and let him lead their way to inside. Ciel came along and presented trio to the butler who allowed them to step forward. Their jackets were taken and Ciel lost his fancy hat.



The music had started already which was vocalized with happy chatter. Mostly women and men were seperated to their own groups where they chatted their own subjects of interest.



Everyone had turned to look at ___, Sebastian and Ciel as they entered the room. She felt like blushing since it was akward how everyone just stared at them before started whispering about something.



”Ah! Isn't it young lord Phantomhive!?” loud voiced man came to their direction. ”I didn't think you would actually come! My, my... you have grown!” Ciel's eyes twitched dangerously when huge man came to admire the trio.



The lord was heavy builded man who was without doub at least two meters tall, almost the same high as Sebastian. He had brown eyes and thick brown hair, he was far less than 50 years old but not much under 40s. Still looking quite young but something of his manner made older impression. The man was holding a glass of alchohol and with help of couple nasty stares at the waiters, soon the guests got their owns. ___ looked at the drink suspiciously (knowing that there's something creepy about the man) and decided to follow Ciel's example. If he would drink, then she would too.



”Lord Woodley, it's been too long,” Ciel forced himself to smile.



”Oh my, you brought this beauty along as well! The pleasure is defenitely all mine... my lady...” he took her hand and kissed it while sending a wink at her. She smiled back at him. She could feel the rings he was wearing.



”No.. no... I'm just glad that I could join the party this wonderful,” she said. Who knew that she could kiss feet this well? ”My name is Rebecca Stoner and this is my companion...” ”Rudolf, sir,” Sebastian continued. She noticed that Woodley checked her hand and especially 'the finger' before letting her hand go.



”Lady, sir and lord... I hope you'll enjoy yourselves. Now excuse me for a minute,” Woodley hurried to welcome another entering group.



Ciel's annoyed expression already told enough and they moved to back of the room.



”I'll go 'making myself comfortable'. Remember what you have to do,” Ciel said and emptied his glass with one gulp and gave the empty glass to Sebastian before he went to join the men.



___ smirked at Sebastian. ”Rudolf?” she asked. Sebastian smiled back. ”I think that it is perfect name for tonight.” She put her hand to cover her mouth before she laughed. She had become a lady after all.



Soon she emptied the glass she was holding and they gave the glasses to young servant walking around with tray.



”So... my lady... how are you feeling about this evening?” Sebastian said and looked down to her while she looked at the giant room and people who were in it.



”I'm feeling quite fine... Perhaps the corset is a bit too tight since my head is little bit spinning but not much,” she said but felt stupid. She was thinking of her physical feeling and he was hinting of her emotional side.



”Oh.. sorry. You must have meant... Geez... I'm feeling fine about this, this is beautiful place and all...” she stumbled on her words. She was completely embarrased and this made Sebastian laugh.



”S-shut it...” she muttered.



”Oh my... you just sounded like young master!” Sebastian smirked.



There was silent between those two as they watched quests come and go. The dancing had started already but she was in no hurry to join.



”...May I ask something from you?” she asked from Sebastian.



”Yes?”



”How did you came working for Ciel?”



Sebastian's smile didn't waver, not even the slightest.



”Shall we dance, young lady?” he changed the subject and offered his hand to her.



She pushed his hand aside. ”Tell me the truth.”



Sebastian didn't seem to give up either. ”But first: we dance.”



He offered his hand once more and she frowned her forehead. ”Don't you trust me, ___?” he whispered in low voice.



She looked straight to his eyes. Did she trust him?



”I trust Sebastian but it doesn't mean I trust you.” She took his hand and let him take her to dance floor. Sebastian smirk came to his ears.



They took the stance and started slowly dance according to melody. Sebastian's hand behind her back was firm, very firm. He had no intentions to let her go.



”So, tell me the answer right now,” she whispered.



”Answer to what?”



”The question I just asked: about your story”



”And why you would like to hear something like that?”



”Because I want to know you better. Why do you want to avoid it so badly?”



”Perhaps I have something I wish others would not know... Something that others... might not understand...” Sebastian said in mysterious tone. She could feel his grip tightening. It was almost hurting her.



”Perhaps you share the same feelings? Perhaps you are feeling that others might not understand you if you spoke the truth about yourself,” Sebastian murmured. She felt her breathing getting heavier.



”Perhaps that's why you won't answer the questions truthfully either? Strange woman found alone in strange circumstances... Like Alice in her own wonderland...”



Sebastian's words made her feel even more nausious. She was too afraid to come up with any come backs.



She swallowed hard. ”And... what if I would be Alice in wonderland?”



She looked up straight to his eyes that looked down to her.



She saw hinch of red in them.



”Then I hope you would not wake up so soon,” Sebastian smirked and she saw a glimpse of sharp teeth he had.



”Sebastian, take me aside. I need to use lavatory,” she muttered as the converstation was taking more creepy direction.



”Of course,” he lead her aside the room, keeping his hand around her waist.



”Sebastian...” she instited in tired tone and pulled his hand off her.



Sebastian raised his eyebrowns. ”Are you feeling well?” he asked after looking at her pale face.



”Excuse me sir? Do you know where the ladies' lavatory is?” she asked from the nearest waiter who came near.



”Follow the hallway, the nearest door to great window. You can't miss it,” he pointed to the open hallway to their right side.



She was about to go but she felt Sebastian taking a grip from her hand. ”You are not well. Let me take you el-” she pushed him farther away from her. ”Please... let me be on my own for now...” she said and walked to the hallway, ignoring Sebastian completely.



Entire hallway just spinned in her mind. She had to lean on wall.



She cursed herself.



Why she had to turn Sebastian away?



It was just something about him, something that made him... more non-human...



It creeped her out too much but the same time it was... exciting... very exciting...



Damn the corset! Why she had so hard time to breath?! Wasn't she used to corsets after wearing them entire week?! Wasn't her body ready yet?!



She noticed the big window and found the bathroom's door but she didn't go in.



She leaned against the window, leaving finger prints on her touch. Moths flapped their wings on other side and seemed to gather in front of her, against her hand.



She gazed the stars but she couldn't make clear from any of them. They just danced around too much and the big dramatic full moon was stealing the attention.



She closed her eyes and opened them again, hoping that the dizzyness would go away. She just continued seeing dancing stars around her and they were increasing all the time.



She knew that she was going to faint any time soon if the stars would not disappear.



Suddenly she started remembering something, something that came at rather bad time.



She exited the theater with her friend Jane.



They laughed and a man approached them.


He was smiling and he hold something in his hands... keys?



His piercing blue eyes was like the only color in black and white picture.



The moon was up.



He...He...



~*~



A servant noticed the woman leaning against the window and she breathed very heavily. ”Ma'am?” He asked. ”Lady... is everything alright?”



It didn't seem like she heard him. ”...lady?” male servant repeated and approached her.



He almost jumped when she turned to him. Her soft lips were slightly open and her eyes... he blinked couple times before he took closer look at them. They were as bright as full moon.



She approached the servant like a hungry animal. ”L-l-lady!” his voice was interupted when she crashed her lips against his.



His thoughts started to blur. Her scient, taste, beauty... everything was there. Suddenly the only thing he ever wanted was to get her and aparently she thought the same about him.



It felt like goddess would have come from heaven.



The smell of flowers filled his nostrils.





~*~



The man with blue eyes laughed with her



Then suddenly he was lying on her bed, blue eyes pointing at nowhere.



Suddenly she felt like waking up from her memories. She was unsure if she fainted but the last clear memory was gazing at the moon.



The moon...



Something soft was under her hands... something... sweaty...



Her eyes widened.



A man lied under her all naked. His shirt was opened and his lean body was her to see. But his hazel nut eyes were pointing at nowhere. He was pale and his chest didn't move.



”Oh god! Oh god.... oh my god!” she gasped and shakily checked his pulse.



He didn't breath, he had no pulse. There were bruises all over his body.



Without doub: he was dead.



She put her hands on his chest and started pushing it over and over again. She felt her hair coming to her face. ”Breath, breath, breath, breath...” she pushed over and breath in but nothing worked. He was dead.



Suddenly she looked more at the room they were in. It was some sort of storage. There was a huge mirror at the back of the room and she tried to see her own reflection from it. It was dark but her eyes were really well used to darkness. Her hair was coming out of her hairstyle.



She fell on her knees.



”I didn't do it, I didn't do it...” she muttered over and over again.



But inside she remembered the truth. This had happened before. She knew that it was her who killed the man.



She wished that she could forget it, she begged from God all-mercy for a moment that he would allow her to forget again!



”I'm a... monster...!”



”I can't stay here...”



”I... just killed another...”



”No... no...no!”



She ran out of the room and rushed to all over the hallway. She soon found herself from the spot she was only a moment ago if her memory served her right and right now there was a gaping hole in middle of it!



She hurried to the dance hall and looked panickly around her.



Ciel... or Sebastian...



Please....



She begged in her mind.



Suddenly she noticed the small figure walking towards her.



”Rebecca, what's wrong?” he asked and was clearly worried of her.



She quickly rushed to her. ”CIEL!!” she said, not caring of the amount of attention she was gaining from the guests. ”Please! Let's leave... now! Please...!” she fell on her knees and cried against his chest.



”What's wrong? What happened?!”



”I... He...!” she tried to speak but nothing came out. Only tears and howls.



She heard others voices clearly even though they were speaking far away from her.



She could smell the parfumes ladies used and they smelled more like alchohol than flowers. They made her feel even more sick.



She saw Lord Woodley rushing to their direction. Even her eyes were filled with tears, she still saw his features clearly like someone would have turned on HD settings.



”Please...! Get me out of here!!”


Next Chapter

... The ultimate question for the fans: "What creature _____ is?"

I've been waiting for this moment from the beginning. I had planned this all along and I was considering that the reader knew this all from the start but then I decided that it would be a lot more exciting this way. I've been giving hints for her abilities since the first chapter, have you noticed them all?

This is a bit raw version of the chapter. No preview will be since... well... you know... cliffhanger and the spellcheck will be done later since this is very late night when I am done with this. Besides I was so excited that there was no way I could store this for tomorrow!!

And please, don't throw any axes on me! I hope you enjoyed this series so far! Black Butler (Hopeless Stalkers) [V1]
