Chapter 32: The Self-Questioning
Max's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes. I slowly went to who I believed was Onyx and wondered aloud,"Onyx?" She gave me a smile and said,"It's most certainly been a while, eh Max?" I heard Annabel asked me,"Max, who is that?" I looked at her, startled. I forgot Annabel was there. At that moment, I forgot everyone else was here. I looked back at Onyx and she gave a small bow. "Oh, I apologize. I am Onyx Spears, an acquaintance of Maximilian." I snorted. "I'd hardly say you're an acquaintance," I said while looking at everyone,"She's more like a family friend." Onyx chuckled. "I say we postpone the introductions temporarily and kill the angel." SHIT! I FORGOT ABOUT ASH! Ash was still in shock but came to his senses soon. He shook his head and grinned. "Ah, Onyx, how nice to...see you again." He hissed. Onyx snapped,"I believe I can't say the same about you, Ash Landers." She looked at James and Raven. "Get the girl out of here. Treat to her wounds immediately." James nodded and stood up, Raven in his arms. He ran away from here quickly, careful that Raven wouldn't fall. I looked at Ash with a grin on my face. "So, you actually let her away eh? That's most certainly not like you." "Shut up! I didn't chase after them because I don't need her right now!" Ash snapped, his sword gleaming in the moonlight. Onyx crossed her arms and nodded. "Yea sure......." she taunted. Ash ran toward her and cut a piece of her cloak off. "Now why did you do that? I love this cloak........." Onyx shrugged and threw her cloak off of her.
Annabel's POV
The woman whose name was Onyx took off her cloak. My eyes widened a bit. Her eyes were deep purple and hair was a long deep brown but the tips were constantly changing color. Onyx wore a short strapless black dress with fingerless gloves and fancy black choker. I could feel a dark aura coming from her but it wasn't as heavy as I thought. She was a demon. Onyx looked at me and winked. "I am a cat demon, which is not very common among the demon world." She explained to me. Ash swung his sword again, screaming,"You filthy demon! Fight me!" Onyx deflected the blow and fake yawned. "This is getting quite boring you know. Honestly...... I thought you could fight better than that!" I did not know what to do at the moment. 'Raven, James, I do hope you two are alright....'
James' POV
As I ran back to the Phantomhive manor, I began to question myself. How did I get this power? What happened to me? What am I? I did not know anymore. I looked down at Raven, who was still asleep in my arms. I smiled briefly but soon turned my attention to the direction of the manor. A while later, I felt a tug on my sleeve. I stopped running and looked at Raven, whose eyes were now open. "James....what happened? Where is everyone else? Where are you taking me?" She questioned me. Her light blue eyes looked cautious and fearful. Raven put a hand to my cheek. "James........your eyes............" I gave her a small smile and kissed her forehead. "What about them, milady?" She giggled briefly and said,"They're not your usual emerald green with the flecks of light green in them... I've always loved your eye color, it's so beautiful......" I felt my cheeks get warm and I coughed. "Thanks....I've always loved your eye color too....." I trailed off, uncertain of what to do next. "We should probably head back to the Phantomhive manor. Arabella could check your injuries and heal them." Raven nodded and closed her eyes again. She said something quietly but I could hear her. "I'm sorry......I'm sorry for being a burden to everyone......" My heart felt sad when Raven said that; I didn't want her to think she's a burden to us. I focused my attention back to the manor, which was now in my sight. I began to run, a tear sliding down my face.
