Chapter 1
"1...2...3...." called out Shizuoka's teacher. The young duchesses steps were smooth and swift, like water. Her simple but elegant dress fanned out while she spun. While her lilac hair framed her face. Shizuoka finished with a swift curtsy and turned her back on the teacher. "Damien!" She called to her family's butler.
Unfortunately her mother made a deal with a fallen angel to protect her. Shizuoka hated depending on others, especially for safety. She let her dark purple heels clack on the marble floors, the servants never met her red gaze for fear of their souls. They believed their lady was a demon sent from hell. Shizuoka grabbed a black cloak from her closet,"Shizo-chan!
Hurry up the meeting is in 10 minutes!" A tall female in a green cloak yelled. Shizuoka grabbed her obsidian dagger with blood red jewels and strapped it under her sleeve.
She gracefully leapt out the window and landed on the back of an ebony horse.
"Midnight!"
She commanded the horse, digging her heels into its sides. The ebony horse and it's rider with another set behind them, made their way into the forest. Shizouka headed towards a dark cave and leapt off her horse. She then tapped on the wall 3 times. A long sliding door opened and a dark stairwell came in view.
"Alina hurry!" Shizuoka called to the green cloaked girl as she walked up the stairwell. At the top of the stairwell there was a ladder that they climbed to see the familiar red door. Shizuoka held her eye up to the scanner and waited for the beep. Once she heard the small sound she climbed in the cool room. 20 girls in dark orange cloaks stepped out of the shadows. They curtsied and split into a walkway to a towering woman in a dark purple cloak.
That woman...was the leader. Her name and even her face is unknown. Shizuoka was the second in command and even she never saw her face.
"Vivat insignem gemmis pugione"
the orange cloaks also known as the Ambers chanted. The Ambers are the lowest level in the society,mostly the new recruits.The twenty that are there are out of about 200. Shizuoka is the only Onyx since there is only one second in command, and the leader is an Sapphire, hence her purple cloak. The leader held out a gloved hand and Shizuoka took it.
"Shizuoka I need you to take care of the traitors in the brig."
The leader commanded coldly. Shizuoka nodded, and curtsied. She walked past the purple cloaked woman and walked down the brig steps. Shizuoka saw the traitors she was mentioning. A tall man in black and a shorter one in red.
"Hm...."
The girl sighed and grabbed her knife.
"What is your purpose for being here...."
she whispered softly to the trembling duo.
"W-we have a message from o-our m-master!"
The taller of the men said. Shizuoka looked down her nose and held the knife closer to his throat.
"What is it...."
"The villainous noble, Ciel Phantomhive! Also known as the q-queens guard dog.....there is an assassination plot!"
The shorter man blurted out. Shizuoka looked stunned for a split second then her voice went back to ladylike and composed. The Jewels are supposed to protect the queen and her minions at all costs as the first priority.
Shizuoka smirked at being able to do another field mission. Since these men had no other use and no other information, there is no point in cutting around the bush. Shizuoka stabbed the first man with the knife in his spinal cord causing him to scream in pain. Then she reached in with her gloved hands and with one swift,elegant motion she ripped out part of his spine. The second man had wide eyes and shrieked at his fallen comrade.
Shizuoka held out her fan and waved it in front of his face then poked it in his eyes. Causing the poisonous razor tips to dig into his skull. She heard him gasp for breath and saw foam at his mouth. Shizuoka gracefully ripped it from his socket and stepped back, looking at her work. With the shorter man looking up, still gasping for air she looked him dead in the eye...and smiled.
She walked back up the stairs and heard him gasp out one single word.
"D-Demon!"
"You have no idea....~"
Her eyes changed from red to gold. Shizuoka turned her back on the poor man, still smiling. She turned off the oxygen in the room as soon as the door closed. She heard the gurgled scream of the man and left the brig for once and all.
