3rd P.O.V.

A small house sat at the very edge on London, wrapped in the trees and underbrush hidden from the outside world. The only sign of life there was the carriage that is seen coming and going, driven by a young man that seemed to be in his early twenty's. He was tall lean and very handsome, he had blue eyes with a dark grey ring around the irises and pale skin. His dark soft brown hair reached past his shoulders and was back in a white ribbon that was tied neatly into a tight bow. His cloths were also a soft white color and were neatly pressed and he carried an unearthly glow around him.

The horse that pulled the small carriage came to a stop as he came to a traffic block that didn't look like it was going to move any time soon. He didn't mind the inconvenience and it was quiet so far this morning. Out of the corner of his eye he could see a group of young women whispering and giggling to each other as they looked him over and he could feel his face heat up and he looked at them and nodded his head. They all giggled shamelessly and hurried away.

The young man felt that mortal women were lovely but only one has taken his heart. But he will never be able to have hers. With a sigh he continued on once the traffic started to move and he went about his errands. Getting needed supplies and clothes and new plants… Red and White roses this season sounded perfect to him. It was early afternoon when he finally made his way back home to the little house hidden from the world. Everything was covered in soft colors of blue, white, and the sharp sound of two children met his ears. Yes he was sure now that the red and white flowers were a nice change from blue and white. As he climbed down from the carriage two small twelve year old boys came running out the front door. One screaming at the top of his lungs and the other throwing small balls of dirt at him, dirtying his cloths.

"STOOOOOP! Erick!" The one named Erick just laughed and made fun of the more sensitive twin. Both boys were eye catching, even in their young age. Fair skin like china dolls, russet colored eyes and raven hair framed their faces.

"Michel! Michel make him stooooop!" The twins reached him and the more sensitive one lunged for the white clad young man. He latched onto Michel's leg and Erick came to a skidding stop.

Michel P.O.V.

"Joseph, Erick, You guys are twelve years old now… This is unacceptable behavior." Erick dropped the dirt and Joseph released my leg as a woman in her early thirty's emerged from the house. She looked tired but she smiled through it in a heartwarming way. Her own raven hair and her blue eyes took Michel's breath away like always. Erick spun on his heel and Joseph followed as they ran for her, both shouting at the same time.

"… MA'MA!" They shouted and she scooped both of them up in her arms. To me she will always be the most wonderful human in my immortal life… My adoptive sister… My family.

"You both are filthy." She laughed waking me from my thoughts. I quickly walked forward and she turned her attention to me. I smiled and like always she smiled back. "Welcome back Michel… Did you find everything you needed?" She stood aside for me to enter the house but I remained in place.

"Yes Angela… I was going to get started on the garden when these two came running…" I said softly, nodding my head to the two young boys in her arms. Erick gave me a sharp look that reminded me of their filthy father and Joseph was contented to snuggling into Angela.

"Well okay… But don't work yourself to hard okay?.. I need to get these two cleaned up." She then turned and returned inside.

…

Being what I was planting the whole garden was a simple task that took me only an hour. Now I stood admiring my work as the now cleaned twins swung back and forth on a pair of rope swings that I had made for their seventh birth day. Angela sat in a chair enjoying the fresh air and I smiled. It has been well over twelve years… Thirteen tomorrow… Since young Ciel became a demon and he and Sebastian took their leave…

The thought of my old rival brought my eyes to the twins… I didn't hate them… But I often think about how they came to be in this world and what scared me the most was that Angela had almost DIED bringing them into it… And what angered me was that that Demon didn't have the decency to attend the birth of HIS children, and yet he comes every so often to watch his children… But I remained here through it all with the mortal who took care of me in my weakest moment and had stolen my heart. And now I take care of her and I watch over the children as well. Trying to guide them down the right path… Joseph seems to take to my words to heart and always considered what he should do before acting. But Erick enjoys watching others suffer a little too much and does what he wishes. Both adore their mother though and I have seen the horrors that they have caused to people who try to hurt her…

The two boys stopped swinging at the same time and both turned their heads upward and I noticed their eyes glow demonic red and I followed the action to see what they looked at. A raven sat on the branch above them looking back at the twins… A bitter taste came to my mouth and I looked to the boys to find that Joseph was heading for his mother and hiding his face in the skirts of her dress and Erick threw a rock at the red eyed raven. I smiled at Erick's demonic instinct to remove the intruder from HIS territory and laughed as he launched another rock at the creature who seemed to hold a shocked look on its face at being attacked.

"Erick… That is enough I feel he gets the idea that he is unwelcome here." I called and Erick stopped. I watched as the bird gave me a hard glare at the same time Erick gave me one and then looked to Angela who was now looking at the bird with a frown… The raven then silently flew away and the twins grinned as they watched the bird fly away… As their father flew away. Erick then joined his brother in burying his face in the skirts of their mothers dress.

I then wondered if the two boys knew what they did and if they knew what they themselves were… Did they know that they were the children of a human and a demon? I hope not because I have fought too hard to be sure they didn't know what they really were… But still they are far more clever than a normal human child and I knew that I couldn't keep them in the dark forever…

After all they are the children of a Raven and will wish to fly one day.
