Chante rossignol, chante, toi qui as le c Ćur â vrai â, Tu as le cĆur si libre, moi je lâai Ă pleurer ! 1.-SĂ©lectionnĂ© et fier dâĂȘtre lâĂ©lite Dâune religion qui lave encore plus blanc, â GeĂŽle-sacrĂ©e â pour un ciel idyllique, â Gourou-escroc â rendez-moi mon enfant ! Le charabia dâun messie pitoyable Trafiquant dâĂąmes et sĂ»r de son pouvoir A eu raison dâun She slits her throat and a necklace of rubies appear, decorating her fair, pale neck with glimmering crimson beads of blood that drip down her collarbone, pooling in between the valley of her breasts. Sheâs grateful to have cut into her carotid artery on her first try; all those hours pouring over Madam Redâs medical textbooks had been usefulâtime well spent. Though now, she has all the time in the world.Lizzy fights against death for a few seconds more, wanting to take in the high vaulted ceiling of her bedroom, the pretty light pink walls and white canopied bed with gardenias covering the headboard. She takes it all in for as long as her body will allow before exhaustionâa strange, physical weariness sheâs never felt beforeâconsumes her delicate form and she falls forward, blood smearing against the honey satinwood of the newly polished floor. Her head hits the ground but she feels no pain; her chest is wet and warm, the blood feels like soft bathwater against her fingertips and she presses her palm against her once used to thrum with life and energy, a whirlwind of excitability of vivacious charm; now, as she lays on her side, one arm splayed above her head, she only feels the faint, distant beats of a dying, superfluous opens her eyes but the world is dimâas if everything has been deprived of all color and the ceiling has become her focal point. A faint pinprick of memoryâher crystal chandelier, the one with rosy cheeked cherubs molded from cool goldâhangs above her but its proportions have been distorted and the whole picture has grown breathing is shallow and she can no longer feel the limbs of her bodyâcan no longer move her wrist and fingers. She is lying here, immobilized, the scent of blood and blossoms in the air. But it will be worth it, she thinks, when it is all over. When she awakens strong and immortal, a Reaper for all to will protect Ciel, one way or another, and if it means exchanging her life for his, thenâIt is an all too easy sacrifice. Ciel. She awakens in a dark, cobwebbed room hardly big enough for one personâor perhaps itâd been designed this way on purpose. The bed sheâs lying in reminds her of a childâs cot, with a little nightstand and two weathered books as its only companions. Dust and age have saturated the blue printed covers and she can barely make out the faint, almost illegible Nutcracker and the Mouse King is the first bookâperhaps a first edition, for Lizzy has never seen the cover so beautifully done. The pinks and whites have now lightened to a paper thin memory of color but the lines are still visible, outlining the slim rosette form of sweet Marie and the tall, stately nutcracker in his red military jacket. It is also, she smiles softly, her favorite childrenâs that is a copy of Grimmâs Fairy Tales but this one has clearly been readâover and over again. The spine is cracked and she can spy the individual pages clinging desperately to the worn black thread; the pages have been dog-eared and folded, as if someone had bookmarked these passages to read laterâa bedtime story for another night. Rising from the stiff, cloistered bunk Lizzy struggles to stand and finds that while the ceilingâan old wooden structure, perhaps designed during the Tudor yearsâis low, she can still stand comfortably, without hitting her head or lurching forward to avoid the dangling cobwebs and small black her left there is a small, dirtied window with several glass jars and containers of a putrified, yellow liquid. One held a heart, the other an unseeing white sphere, and the two containers were too murky to make out much other than a few odd shapes. Outside, Londonâs cloudy grey sky was familiar and soothing butâLizzy gasped, hands reaching to wrap around her neckâto feel the blood and hastily cut flesh but nothing was there. Nothing but smooth, soft skin.âAh, youâre awake now, arenât you?â A low, amused voice calls out. It sounds like it's coming from above and Lizzy wonders if she's been summoned before some strange, celestial court to pay penance. And reallyâwhen did her eyesight become so poor?âSorry love but youâll be needing these from now on.â The voice chuckles; and out of nowhere, a pair of something falls into her hands. Cautiously perhaps too cautiously Lizzy brings the object near, though it's not until she's moved it a few inches from her face that she's able to tell what it is. A pair of reading glasses. She frowns. âThank you kindly, dear sir, but I donât believe these will be necessary.â She calls out, wondering if death has deprived her of all sanity. Talking to a mysterious voice in a small, dark room. Was she now insane?Has she gone absolute mad?âOh, but I believe they are.â The voice returns, sounding perfectly cheerfulâas if strange girls who'd cut their throats was a common sight for him. âCome now, loveâlook around. Where am I?âLizzy hears a creak and a shift this building really was quite old but feels a sliver of white hot frustration when she is unable to make out his face, shape, or figure in the shadowy black darkness. âIf you would step into the light pleaseâââWhy should I? Iâm right behind you.âLizzy whirls around and almost shrieks when she sees himâthe strange, white-haired mortician with the wide, toothy grin and long, black edged heart is pounding like a hummingbird in her chest or was it? What on earth was even happening? Oh, mother was right. She was far too impulsive for her own good sometimes and Lizzy feels a slight wave of immediate panic though, oddly enough, she felt no real sense of danger. Only confusion, blindness, and an overwhelming urge to put these eyeglasses on.âMr. Undertaker sir.â She greets and gives him a small curtsey. Dead or not, courtesy was most important. Mother, Lizzy thinks, would be quite proud to know that even in death, she was still behaving like a lady should.The mortician laughs, waving a sleeve covered hand in front of herâas if saying, no, no, dear girl! No formalities! âCare for a cup?â He asks, producing aâŠbeaker of tea or was it tea? from behind his back. Moving even closer almost indecently soânot that he seemed to care much for propriety the Undertaker giggles, in a strange high-pitched stream of laughter, at her curious expression. âItâs oolong.â He whispers loudly, as if confiding in her a great, mysterious secret that no one else could ever his grin is so wide and his words so serious andâhonestly, here she is in some cramped little room with a cup or pardon, beaker of hot tea being handed to her by a strange man who appeared to have a permanent smile fixed to his face. And really, she decides, if one couldnât laugh at a situation such as this then madness was the only Lizzy laughs, lightly at first and then genuinely, nose crinkling and shoulders shaking as she accepted his beaker of tea with a smile and a thank you, polite as ever. âI must be dreaming,â she whispers between giggles, âbut I had no idea my imagination was so vividâor so strange.ââOh, you arenât dreaming dearie.â The Undertaker yes, she remembers, that was his title sways from side to side, voice almost tender as one long black fingernail comes up to stroke her cheek. âYou poor thing, cold as death.âLizzy laughs grins. âAnd youâve got your grandmotherâs sense of humor.âAt the mention of Grandmama Claudia, Lizzy perks up. âYou knew Grandmama?ââIs that what you call her?â The Undertaker rubs his sleeved hands together, like a gleeful child whose just learned a most valuable secret. âOh-ho, it is rather proper of you, isnât it?ââI am a lady, dear sir.âBut Lizzy feels no real insultâhow can she when this strange old mortician is being so kind and offering her tea and ignoring the fact that sheâs gone completely and utterly mad?âAy, I donât dispute that.â He agrees cheerfully. âBut death, dear girl, requires no book of etiquette.ââSo I've truly died.â Lizzy presses her hands around the steaming hot beaker. âHow strange. Iâd always imagined death to beâŠlighter.â âWell you are in my workshop dearie. Iâm a bit of an odd fish myselfâantiseptic walls and hourly doses of paperwork have never really appealed to meâif you can imagine that.â He ribs, poking Lizzyâs cheek as he does so. âSee, youâre still on the human plane loveâI got you before the Reapers did and oh-ho, what a trip it was! Youâre quite the little scandal in this neck of the woods.â Lizzy frowns, perturbed and very worried that she could've caused any disputeâlet alone one so strange! She opens her mouth to speak but is cut off by the memory of her parentsâof her dear, grieving brother and solemn, stern mother and dear, wonderful fatherâand Lizzy feels abject horror because she's left them all behind. Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh godâwhat has she done? How could she have been so stupid? Should she have left a longer letter? One that explained in greater detail why she'd done what she did? Did they know? But of course they didn't! But did they know how much she still loved them, even in death, and how dearly she wanted to remain by their side until they drew their last breath andâoh she was such a wicked, wretched daughter! How could she have done this?Tears sting at her eyes, her throat begins to close, andââOh,â Lizzy chokes out, âIâm very sorry for that." An overwhelming wave of guilt crashes into her, expelling the air from her lungs and hurting her so badly she feels as if she's been stabbed right through the heart. "I'm sorry," she tries again, "for acting so foolishly but you see, Mr. Undertaker sir, I am in very dire straits right now. I love someone very much but IâŠI canât save him and please, I need some help so I thoughtâI heardâthatâŠthat to die by my own hand would give me power and please, you mustnât think me greedy or shameful for I have no wish or desire to conquer any foreign lands or villages. I only want to save the boy I love best.â She says this in one frenzied, hiccuped sentence because the tears are rolling down her cheeks and falling to her tea andââIâm sorry,â she cries, lower lip trembling because goodness, she simply canât stop, âI'm...Iâm afraid Iâve ruined your oolong.âAnd really, this just makes everything else so much more dreadful. She's ruined a perfectly good cup of tea that he prepared for her and he can't possibly have any more clean beakers and she's ruined her tea andâand a sob escapes her lips, and then another and another until she's crying continuously, unable to stop, not even noticing how the Undertaker has brought one shapeless sleeve over her shoulders, hugging her close.âYouâve got a way with words, lovey.â He chuckles, the other sleeve coming to wipe away her tears. âRuined my oolong, now isnât that funny.â He chuckles but his veiled eyes are soft, tender with sympathy and care and oh, while the earl may look like his Claudia, itâs sweet little Lizzyâwith her lion heart and all encompassing passionâwho is her virtues and goodness, encapsulated in the granddaughter she never had the chance to meet. âPoor girl,â Undertaker continues, âpoor, dear girl. So desperate to save the one you love bestâŠa distant prayer, yes, but you cling onto it, kneeling at the foot of your bed every night, begging for some starlit miracle. Oh, poor child,â his voice continues, soothing and familiarâwith a gentle French accent coming to play, âyou do wish to save him, donât you?ââOh yes, yes Iââ she tries to speak but her words are tied, jumbled together, and utterly incoherent as she presses her face into the Undertakerâs robes, trying so hard to calm herself though frenzied emotion. The Undertaker smiles, half-pity, half-joy. He holds onto her, his dear, sweet granddaughter, and relishes in her orange blossom warmth. It is the first time he has embraced any one of his grandchildren, the first time they have not shied away from him in mistrust or angerâor have ignored him, ignorant that their grandfather stands there, so full of longing for family and memory and home. He failed his son, his precious, only son, who died so wretchedly. He failed to protect his grandson, thirteen and blue and bound to hell. He has not seen his strong, capable daughter since she was a year and a half old; was not there when she marriedâcouldn't walk her down the aisle. But nowânow providence has come, giving him a second chance to begin regaining the family that was lost to him the moment Claudia died. So he holds his poor, dear granddaughter close and thinks that the butlerâwhat a funny little demon!âhas helped him greatly. Oh, he never wished to meet his and Claudiaâs grandchild under such unseemly and vile circumstances but here she is. A Reaper, eternal and immortal; age will not touch her and death can no longer hold her. She is his familyâhis granddaughterâand she is now immortal, just like him. âCome now, come now,â he shushes, one sleeved hand coming to tuck a golden curl behind her ear, âworry no more, lovely, worry no more.â He can feel the exhaustion seeping into her bones and takes the beaker of tea from her, placing it on the little nightstand.âIl y a longtemps que je tâaime, jamais je ne tâoublierai,â the Undertaker sings, soft and low, the lullaby tranquil and sweetâas clear and familiar as when he composed it some two hundred years ago. In his arms, the poor girl sleeps, breathing deep and even as tear stains mar her now, he will remain awake tonightâand all other nightsâguarding his granddaughter against all harm. From the hands of the Reapers to the temptations of the demon. She is a piece of Claudia made immortal and she is his family. The Undertaker lowers her into the cot, one arm coming to sweep the dust from the childrenâs books and the other to wipe away the last of her tears. Il y a longtemps que je tâaime, jamais je ne tâoublierai⊠Chanterossignol, chante, Toi qui as le cĆur gai Tu as le cĆur Ă rire, Moi je l'ai Ă pleurer J'ai perdu mon amie, Sans l'avoir mĂ©ritĂ© Pour un bouquet de roses, Que je lui refusais Je voudrais que la rose, FĂ»t encore au rosier Et que ma douce amie FĂ»t encore Ă m'aimer.
