Intertwined Fates

Fight The Butler

I knocked on the door three times. A faint voice from inside called me in. I pushed open the door and ignored Ciel’s surprised face at seeing me sit in a chair across from his desk. He coughed, attempting to cover his confusion.
“And who might you be?”
I hesitated. Weighing my options, I decided to tell most of the truth.
“I am Summer, and the girl with black hair is Talia. We have business to discuss, Earl. We know many of your secrets, your butler’s secrets, and your servant’s secrets. So do not take us lightly. We could also tell you what happens in your future, but we choose not to.”
He narrowed his eyes at us and seemed to contemplate whether we were telling the truth or not.
I decided to hand this one to Talia.
Talia’s POV
Summer gave me a look that said that I could talk, but I better be serious. I gave an imperceptible nod and took over.
“You see, if you do not believe us, we could tell you your secrets. One. By. One. But we choose to keep it fun.” I gave him my signature smile from when I used to be a mob leader. He shivered, and I continued. “We only want one thing, Queen’s lapdog, and it’s to stay here as guests for a period of time. And I know that you are thinking of calling Sebastian, but unfortunately, my partner here has taken his silverware. And he could not beat her hand-to-hand combat or my superior intellect. So do not even try, Ciel.”
He narrowed his eyes further and I examined my nails. He studied both of our faces, but stopped on Summer’s.
His eyes widened, and he gasped, “What strange eyes…” I felt Summer tense next to me. She hated comments about her violet eyes and their crimson flecks.
I coughed and said, “Please refrain from making rude comments about my comrade’s appearance.” He opened his mouth to reply, but the door burst open, and Sebastian leaped through.
Ciel’s POV
After that rude girl had stopped talking, Sebastian burst through the door. I smirked. Time to test their theory. I nodded to my butler saying, “Kill them.” He also smirked and replied as usual. “Yes, my lord.”
Summer’s POV
“Yes, my lord.” I inwardly fangirled as he gave his signature line to Ciel. I kept my outer appearance emotionless, and yawned, slowly getting up from my chair and stretching. I addressed Sebastian.
“I think this will be more fun if you only have one of us to fight at a time. It will keep things fair.”
I yawned again, and his mouth twitched to a deep frown. I handed Talia my purse, and stripped off my hoodie.
I got into a fighting stance and calmly said, “Bring it, Michaelis.”
He leaped at me, throwing a punch at my face. I saw it coming, and placed a hand to grab it. The resulting rush of air made my hair and his tailcoat flap.
His eyes widened fractionally, but that distraction was all I needed. I quickly got behind him and put him in a chokehold.
He tugged at my arms, using his demon strength. He finally got my arms off and we circled each other, him wary of me and me bored.
We both waited for the other to make the first move. Ciel shifted at his desk, and Sebastian’s glance shifted momentarily to his master.
I smiled and lunged forward, drawing my hands in as I delivered a swift snap-kick to his kidney.
He flew to the side, slamming into the wall full force. He coughed blood, and I inwardly groaned.
He was a lot more badass in the episodes. Maybe everyone in animes was a just sad and weak fighter.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice he had disappeared until Talia had blocked his blow to the top of my spine. I gave her a thankful look, and we switched out.
Talia’s POV
Summer went to sit in her previous chair, and I knew it was my turn to fight.
I rolled my shoulder and disappeared into the shadows behind the bookcases. I emptied my purse, and pressed the button that transformed it into a sword.
I grabbed my box of shurikens and rolled them in between my knuckles. I then walked out from behind the bookcase and waved to Sebastian, who was looking around in confusion.
“Yoo-hoo!” I called.
I smiled at him.
My smile slowly transformed into what Summer called “my mob psycho grin.” Sebastian matched that with his signature threatening close-eyed smile.
I gritted my teeth at his cockiness. I stayed where I was though, and waited for him to make a move. He started demoning out, and I paled. I might need backup on this one.
Or retreat.
I looked to Summer for help, but she was fast asleep, with Ciel intently watching her. I smirked, starting to form a plan.
