King Of Reapers Black Butler Fanfic - Volume 2

A vampire fell to his knees and Alex kicked his head, he stepped on it, slowly applying pressure, “Where are she?” Alex grabbed the Vampire’s arms, preventing it to fight back, “I don’t know!” His struggles didn’t work, he was still locked into place. The answer made Alex mad, he crushed the vampire’s head, killing it.

“It’s no use asking,” Alex turned around, his hair waved as the wind blew again, “Damn it, why do vampires don’t have any Order or Hierarchies or something?” He looked at Ruby, probably know something about their culture.

“Our culture follows a Hierarchy, but they aren’t strict about the rules mi’lord.” Ruby bowed, “there are Rankings in our world, but we are on ourselves, wether you follow the strongest Vampire, or live independently.” She took out her sword and stabbed the vampire in his heart, “As I recalled, I was ranked seven among the Vampires.” She smirked a bit, trying not to show to Alex.

“Pretty proud about it huh?” Alex smiled, he looked at Ruby and started walking, the three followed, “Well mi’lord, during that time, when I lived independently, reaching the ranks was my main goal, but now…” Ruby bowed, “My sole purpose now is to serve you, until my last breath, probably being killed because, I’m…” Ruby chuckled, “I can’t die of age.”

Alex chuckled as well, “What a nice change, don’t you think?” Grass swayed as the wind blows again, the atmosphere became a bit awkward, no one didn’t say anything while they walked. Ruby just looked around the windy forest, she focused on listening, where there might be more, hiding in the brush.

A feather suddenly slit Ruby’s cheek and landed on the ground, Alex didn’t look the other way and just sighed, he continued walking, while others frozen on their place, waiting for Alex to say something. Finally Alex turned around, “What is it this time you want Fhrer?”

“Alex!” Wings glowed bright when he flapped his wings, usually with the two fallen angels, he is alone. “I just came to see what you have been up to lately.” He smiled innocently, he waved at him on the sky.

Alex frowned, “Well there is nothing for you to see, please leave.” He turned around and started walking. “What if I tell you where Houston is?” Fhrer started to grin slowly, “Oh by the way, she asked me with something, so I don’t know who she was dealing with so…”

“Where is she?” Alex asked, “Did you agree on helping her?” He looked at Fhrer with a calm voice, he didn’t want to make a mess here.

“I did, but, I won’t her soul is already for Lucifer.” Fhrer shrugged, “I don’t want messing with him, he won’t stay calm if you’d mess with him.” He chuckled a bit, while being nervous about him.

Alex smiled, “that’s good then.” He looked at his watch, “do you mind telling me where she is and what she is up to?” He took the opportunity to ask, might be a good time doing so.

“Her? I didn’t know how she got her wings.” Fhrer shrugged again, Lynda heard it and she looked down, she felt ashamed hearing that what is hers is now being used on someone. Alex glanced at Lynda and started chuckling, “Is she good at using her wings?”

“Ahh yes, she is quite well at flying.” Fhrer smiled, “Maybe it’s one of the things Lucifer gave to him.” He started laughing, “A vampire with horns and wings? What is she a demon as well?” He started laughing briefly and looked at Alex, “She is at one of the abandoned Houses in Britain, good luck dealing with her, she isn’t a type of person to give up quickly.” He starts flapping his wings again and flew away without saying anything else.

Alex sighed in relief, now that he’s gone, they can go home peacefully, he looked at Lynda and saw her hands clenched, her hands are bleeding, and just looking at the ground. Alex stopped and tapped her shoulders, “We’ll get your wings back, okay?” Alex smiled weakly and continued walking.

“I’ll kill that Vampire.” Alex told himself, his eyes glowed red.

“Hey dad!” Adeline ran through him and blocked the way, “I’ll tell you something.” She waited for Alex to lean at her, and the moment Alex leaned to listen,

“There’s a vampire in one of the bushes.”

Alex’s eyes glowed again, he felt the soul, he turned around where it is and quickly threw a knife, a sound like someone fell, was heard, “that was fast.” Adeline shrugged, she skipped to the corpse and looked at it, the knife embedded at the head, his eyes blank white, “why you killed him?” She pouted as she took her sword out and stabbed the vampire in the heart, sucking out the blood. She took out her sword and Alex’s knife, she skipped back to Alex and returned his knife.

“Ruby you go alone and continue your mission, confirm to me if what Fhrer said is true.” Alex orders, Ruby just bowed and left, she ran the opposite way and into the train station. “I can’t believe Fhrer told us where she is, but we can never be to careful, we still need to see for ourselves if what said was true.” He looked at Adeline, she just looks back with wide eyes, waiting for him to say something. “Let’s go home and wait for her tomorrow.”

Whistle of the train was heard around the station, Ruby just arrived in time. She came across many people as she went in, they all sat down just before the train started moving. Ruby still saw people waving at somehow appears to be inside the train too, she realized, they are waving goodbye at them. Minutes past, and suddenly the Man in front of her asked, “Why did you leave England?”

Ruby thought for a second, she smiled asking herself the same thing, “Well,” she shrugged, “I am supposed to meet someone in Britain.”

The man smiled, “Is it family? Or Friends, or What?”

“To be honest.” Ruby chuckled nervously, “It’s an old friend of mine, we aren’t in good terms.”

“Well, I hope you and your old friend will be friends again.” The Man chuckled as well, “It is kind of a hassle talking to an old friend.”

“Y-yeah…” Ruby replied, she decided not to say anymore, she might say things more that would reveal her goal. After half an hour, they arrived at Britain peacefully, Ruby stood up with the others as the train stopped. As soon as she stepped out, she saw bright orange lamps across the streets of Britain. Many people strolling and in different shops, Ruby remembers that Alex gave her money as a source of income, she was told to try to buy things for herself sometime. She saw a store full of clothes to sell, she looked around and saw the women, wearing formal winter wear. She looked at herself and noticed, she is the only one wearing a knight armour. It made her went in the store and look for clothes, out of all the clothing she saw, the trench coat she tried earlier suited her armour the best, it kind of removed the bulkiness of the armour she is wearing. And she wore the black trench coat as soon as she stepped out on the windy days of Britain.

“Now, I’ll need to go to the abandoned house.” Ruby went out of plain sight and started jumping on building to building, until she came across a huge forest, and saw an abandoned House after it. Trees hustled as the wind blows again, she hid behind trees as she gets closer to the house, her footsteps can’t be heard, all because how loud the trees are swaying. She jumped on the roof and found a huge crack enough for her to fit in, she carefully went down trying not to make noise, she stepped on one of the collar beams and started walking, she saw another huge hole, connected to the Throne room. Ruby went to the lower beams, and as she stepped closer, her eyes widened, she got surprised, the Vampires didn’t move out, Ruby smiled, she can’t believe how stupid they are, she chuckled in a sound no one can hear.

“Kill them.”

Ruby got surprised, she heard someone, then she remembered that her blade is alive, she starts sweating, getting a bit insane from the blade. “Kill them, Kill them, KILL THEM.” Ruby started hearing different whispers, she covered her ears, trying to relieve herself. Barely taking it, she decided to leave, while not getting into trouble. She jumped on a higher beam, it made a bit of noise, she struggled finding balance not try to fall of, she accidentally took a loud step, making a squeak on the wooden beams, the vampires heard it and looked around, they also looked up and checked the roof, finding nothing. The whispers continued saying the same words, over and over and over. She stood up, her eye sight started blurring, and she jumped higher, out to the roof and to the outside.

As soon as she stepped out of the house, the whispers stopped. She slowly removed her hands in her ears and wiped her sweat. “I need to go home.” She expected the wind to cover up her footsteps again, but the wind stopped, and on her few steps in the forest, a snow flake went on her nose, and melted away. She looked up and saw the dark blue sky, with falling snow. “It’s snowing.” She folded her arm and snow went on her palm, “so much for my trench coat.”

She suddenly heard her heart beat, her eyes widened and her vision blurring, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, then collapse, she is still conscious, she can only see unclear snow, starting to form, she started hearing whispers again, then she blacked out.

After a few minutes she rised, her eyes glowing red with an unusual grin, “I wanna kill them all!” She took out her sword with her one hand, the sword seems to be glowing as well. Footsteps marked the snow and left a trail going back to the abandoned house, she reached a window. She extended her arms holding her blade, then she started to shiver, she put her arm down using her other arm, her grin turned upside down, teardrops on her face, as she tries fighting it back, more whispers went in her head,

“YOU MUST KILL THEM ALL!”

“But, Master s-said,” she kept on fighting back, trying not to make noise, her other eye stopped glowing, “Master said to be Quiet!” Ruby shouted, both her eyes stopped glowing, she feels a little light headed, she looked at her blade and quickly put it back to its scabbard, she ran away unsteadily, she feels so tired. She went back in the forest, she found a huge tree enough for hee to hide, she sat down beside the two huge roots of the tree, covering her. She looked up and rested for awhile, “Master, what is it that you want me to become?” Ruby quickly felt a chill in her spine, like someone is grinning at her. She stood up and started running, she came across more trees, barely able to see anything, she tripped in one of the roots and fell down, still feeling light headed, her hands trembled to stand up, she can’t. She crawled, until she couldn’t feel her arms anymore, she whispered to herself, “Master…” Then she passed out.

“Is this how master wanted to see you?”

Ruby heard someone whispered again, “is this what you wanted Alex to see you?” She slowly opened her eyes, “That’s it, come on, stand up.” She saw herself standing in front of her, “You can’t give up here now, you got to prove yourself to him, remember?” She held her chin, Ruby nodded. The other Ruby smiled, “That’s my girl.” She began fading away.

“Never back down for him, no matter what, Okay?” Then, she waved goodbye and disappeared.

Ruby’s eyes suddenly opened, she breathed heavily and stood up. She cleaned her snowy coat and started walking, she looked back at the House and continued her way back, she glanced at her sword, she closed her hands, “I need to overcome this.”

On her way to England, she stared at the black darkness outside the windows, and just watched the snow fall, she seems out of herself thinking about something. Ruby remembered what she dreamt of, “What was that?” She told herself, the last time she had one of those was when she betrayed Alex. Why did she felt like there is another copy of herself? Or maybe it is someone that she knew before? Whatever the answer, she shrugged trying to forget it.

She suddenly heard a scream, she looked around and on the hall, she saw a woman being held hostage, and a man kneeling infront of another man who is holding a knife. The man holding the woman put a gun out and took a shot up the roof, everyone is in panic.

“Give me your Money!” The man with the gun shouted, while holding the girl, he aimed the gun at the woman’s head, “Or else her brain’s gushing out!” He took another shot, “NOW!”

The people shouted and begged for each others lives, while Ruby sighed, still calm sitting with her legs crossed, she looked at the thieves and counted them, they were four men, the other guy is holding a woman as hostage, the other guy with the knife, is beside him, probably serves as the guard, and the other two, went on opposite ways and grabbed each of the people’s stuff, searching for money. Many more passengers started crying begging them to stop, Ruby got agitated, and stood up.

“Hey.” Ruby stated, the thieves looked at her and their leader shouted, “Do you want to die first?” The man aimed at her. Ruby took a step and frowned, “The same question goes to you,” she grabbed the collector”s neck and choked him to death. Ruby took the gun and aimed at the thief with the hostage, the thief started trembling, “Shoot me and I’ll shoot the girl!” He warned. Ruby threw the gun outside the window and starts to walk towards him, the thief aimed at Ruby, “Stand back, or I’ll shoot!” The thief trembled more, making him step back, his guard took his knife out and stabbed Ruby, he chuckled, “D-don’t mess with me!”

Ruby looked at the knife and took it out, and dropped it, “Don’t force me to kill you.” The people behind Ruby went in one corner, crying as they watched Ruby fighting the thieves.

“Take another st-step! And I’ll kill her!” He aimed at the woman again, the woman started crying, “Please don’t let him kill me!” Ruby remembered the things that happened to her, she sighed, “Fine.” She started walking again towards him, the guy behind him started shooting at Ruby, screams were heard around the train at every shot, this didn’t stop Ruby from walking, she felt the bullets embedding at her arms, then she took it out, the men keeps on stepping back, until they reached the emergency door at the end of the train, “STOP!” the three thieves trembled in fear, Ruby sighed, and break the neck of the one holding a gun, and then she break the neck of the other. Ruby looked at the last thief with the hostage.

The thief started shooting at her again, the first bullet hit her arms, then at her shoulder, finally at the head. Ruby looked up, but kept standing, she looked again at the thief, he pressed the trigger and nothing came out, “M-monster!”

Ruby held the hostage’s face, and covered her eyes, “Don’t look.” She whispered in to her ear, the hostage suddenly jumped out, she heard the thief’s screams, and something just got ripped, the thief look at the people, “Help! Help me! Please!” Ruby hugged the hostage with her one arm, and crushed the thief’s arms with another. She pierced his heard and took it out, Ruby’s hug suddenly loosened, she went at the woman’s ears again, “Never turn around okay?” The hostage nodded as Ruby slowly lets her go. The woman quickly run to her husband and tightly hugged him, they all heard the train’s whistle and the train stopped. The train has arrived, people started running out of the train as soon as the doors out, and get the police. Turns out the thieves were the train operators.

Many people were looking for the woman who saved them, but she disappeared as the thieves lives were gone.

0000, 12:00 am…

Alex opened the window in his study, and saw Ruby at the door, they made eye contact and Alex smiled. Ruby jumped into his window and went in.

“Mi’lord, I have news.” Ruby bowed, “It seems the Houston’s Vampires are stupid as ever.” She smiled, “They did not move out nor even changed territory.”

Alex smiled as well, he started to give off an unusual vibes, “Good Job,” he stood up and opened the door, “You may rest,” he got a bit surprised, “oh nice coat by the way, it suits you.”

“Your words flatter me mi’lord.” Ruby bowed and stood up as well, she looked again at her coat in the mirror, and she agreed that it suits her. Alex smiled, then he cleared his throat, “let us go.” He waited for her to leave and Alex closed the door, he saw Azuria at the corner of his eye, he turned around and saw her leaning against the wall, “Care to explain what happened to Natalie?” Alex smiled bringing it up. Azuria opened her eyes, “I just twisted her mind.”

Alex chuckled, “that’s good, she was losing her loyalty to you.” He pats her head, “She wanted to serve me instead.” Azuria didn’t say anything, she enjoys being pat on the head. After awhile Alex stopped doing so, he started walking towards his bed, and yawned, “Goodnight.” Azuria weakly smiled at him as he heard the words, “Aren’t I gonna come with you tomorrow?”

“Hmm,” Alex looked at the ceiling, “No, you must watch on Natalie, don’t you think?” Azuria rolled her eyes, “Fine.” She smiled at Alex. “You look just like your mother.” He stated, and kissed her on the forehead, “As I said earlier, good night, my dear.”

Doors clicked when Alex entered the room, going to his bed, while Azuria, staying awake watching Natalie secretly. Azuria went in one of the corners of Natalie’s room, and surprisingly saw her in her demon form while sleeping. Azuria revealed herself and jumped carefully on the ground as trying not to wake her up, Natalie’s eyes slowly opened and the first thing she saw is Azuria sitting on the chair beside her Cabinet, legs crossed, while checking her nails.

“Good Evening master, what are you doing in my room, it isn’t in to your liking, and I apologize for it.” Natalie quickly stood up to bow in front of her, still wearing her nightdress. Azuria looked at her silently and touched her chin, she looked at Natalie’s eyes and saw it shining like diamonds. “What are you doing in that form?”

“I am taking over my demon form, master.” She quickly looked down, letting go of Azuria’s hand. It made her reveal her demonic form as well, “Don’t you know what it can do to you?!” Malicious energy started building up in Azuria, Natalie can sense the pressure, and was forced to go back in to her normal state, “I, I apologize master, I was just trying to control my demonic form completely so I will be worthy enough to protect you.”

“You don’t take over the demon at this rate, it will only consume your soul.” Azuria calmed down, she went into normal as well, “Perhaps I can change your soul again.” Her eyes started glowing, like gold, Natalie didn’t say anything, Azuria looked at Natalie’s eyes. Natalie starts to have black marks on her face, arms, and legs, her horn slowly rises, and her light blue eyes turned pitch black, not even the reflection of the moon can be seen through. Azuria closed her eyes and Natalie fell down as she passed out. The marks disappeared along with the horns, but the colour of her eyes didn’t. Azuria smiled when she cracked her finger and ordered, “Rise, Natalie.”

Natalie suddenly woke up and bowed again, realising what happened, she looked at herself in the mirror, nothing changed much, “Master?” Natalie asked, “I feel, different.”

“You are.” Azuria smiled weakly, “Now rest for tomorrow, I’ll be seeing you in my room in 1100 sharp.” Natalie slowly stood up, “Very well Master.”
