---------------------------------------------------------------

Onyx's POV
"Onyx........is that you......." I couldn't believe it. It couldn't be....could it? I smiled and said with a nod,"Why, long time no see, eh Bella?" She hugged me fiercely with tears streaming down her face. "My goodness! I thought you were dead!! Seven years ago....." Arabella stopped and just continued crying and hugging me. I hugged her back fiercly. I gave a small laugh and said,"Well....I'm here aren't I?" Arabella slowly let go of and looked at my face with a small smile. I heard a cough and looked at the young earl with a small frown. "How touching...." he chuckled,"Two friends have reunited eh? So sweet..." Annabel put a hand on his shoulder and looked at him. "Leave them be," she retorted,"Friends, close friends, should be able to be happy together. You wouldn't exactly know because you don't have many friends." Ciel looked as if he didn't care but I knew he was slightly hurt. I looked at the girl and boy from earlier and asked,"Oh, I'm sorry but who are you two?" The boy said,"I'm James and this is Raven." He gestured to Raven, who looked both confused and tired. "I am Onyx Spears. It's nice to meet you both." James nodded and looked at Raven.

Annabel's POV
Raven did not look very well. She looked pale in the moonlight and her breathing was slow. "I...I wish...to..." Raven fell on the ground, her eyes closed. Sebastian went to her and put her in his arms. "I will take her to her room. I shall be back in a moment." He walked into the manor with Raven. James surprisingly made no argument and sank down into the grass. Max clicked his tongue and said,"Well, I ought to be going. Catherine has been home alone for quite a while now. Good day.....actually good morning." He looked at both Arabella and Onyx and winked. "I'll come by soon." He ruffled my hair and left, not even acknowledging Ciel. After Max had left, Sebastian came back and did a small bow to Ciel. "Raven appears to have fainted from all this....excitement.......she should be awake in a day or two." Ciel nodded and looked at the rest of us. "I will be in my office. I suggest you all do something productive." He left the garden with Sebastian. Onyx tsked and said snottily,"I don't like that earl. He's so cold and rude." "I believe he has a reason for his attitude." I whispered. She huffed and looked down at her clothes. "I should probably change out of these rags." Onyx disappeared inside a cloud of black smoke. A minute later, the smoke cleared and she wore a short dark gray dress with black combat boots. Her eyes, instead of purple, were now a hazel color and her long hair was now pure dark brown. Arabella laughed and said,"Oh my! You in that outfit reminds me of that one day we spent with the boys many years ago!" I looked at them in confusion. What boys? Who were they? Were they humans? Demons? Angels? Reapers?? I just shook my head while asking,"Who are you talking about, Arabella?" Onyx and Arabella looked at me with small smiles on their faces. "Oh, you should meet them. I think they would like you, especially a certain boy...." Arabella had a small smirk on her face while Onyx giggled. We heard a light snore and found James slumped against a bench, sleeping. Arabella put a finger to her lips and quietly crept near the bench and picked up something. She crept back to and took us to another area of the garden. "What's in your hands, Bella?" Onyx asked. Arabella held out her hands for us to see a pile of crushed rose petals. We looked at her in confusion and she smiled. Without warning, she threw them on top of Onyx's and my head. We all laughed. "Well, that was unexpected." Onyx rolled her eyes playfully and took some petals off the top of her head. She placed them on Arabella's head with a chuckle. I yawned, realizing how tired I was. Arabella took notice and so did Onyx. "Do you want to go to sleep, Annabel?" I nodded and began to walk back to the manor, saying,"It was nice to meet you, Onyx Spears. Good night, Arabella. Good night, Onyx. See you both soon."

Third Person POV
When Annabel was out of Arabella's and Onyx's sight, they both looked at each other with concern in their eyes. "Ash Landers is back. We should inform your brother immediately." Arabella said with worry in her voice. Onyx rolled her eyes and spat,"My brother? Tsh, I doubt he would even come at this time. He's probably busy with overtime. Maybe....maybe we should go pay a visit to....him" Arabella nodded. "We should leave now. It's almost morning and I believe that Annabel, Raven, and James will be out for a while." Onyx and Arabella were about to leave when they heard a voice call out,"Long time no see eh girls? You both look fabulous, as usual." They turned around with surprise. "GRELL?" The red-cloaked reaper grinned and did his signature move with a wink. "Grell Sutcliff, at your service!"
