A demon's love never ends

1. Their Butler, Able...to love

(Sebastian's POV)

*Knock, Knock* I rapped my knuckles on the door to the second master bedroom. "Who is it?" called a soft, sweet voice from behind the door. "It's Sebastian , Lady Emily." Is what I replied. The girl was the joint head of the Phantomhive name and joint owner in the Funtom company. "Come in Sebastian" called the voice again. I opened the door and sat on the edge of the bed was a girl no older than twelve. She was Emily. I followed my usual routine of getting her dress and boots every morning. I had picked up the Cyan blue dress with the white flowers and the black, knee high boots to accompany them.

Emily Phantomhive was a twin to my young master Ciel and she shared everything with him. As my prey I marked them both with my mark but the thing I wanted truly was...her soul. Two years ago they had been captured and tortured and now...they wanted revenge. I dressed her as usual and once I had finished I relayed her schedule for her studies. Her real work was normally done before high noon because her brother did most of it. However a guest was due to arrive today and she wanted to make sure everything was done. This was my chance to impress.

"What's the work schedule for today then Sebastian?" I looked at this small girl and I knew instantly what to say "Well, this morning you have your dancing lessons with Mrs Harris and then later on in the evening you have a meeting with Mr Deliano of the East Indian factory. What would you like for breakfast? I can offer a lightly poached salmon accompanied by a mint salad, toast, scones and a pain de campaign. What would my young mistress like?" I was over joyed. Her schedule wasn't very full which meant I could spend my time watching her. "I would like the salmon please Sebastian" She was holding the cup that I had laid with her favourite tea. She smiled at me and I knew I had done good. Her huge Cobalt blue eyes were shining with gratitude but I could tell she was still pained by what had happened in her past. If only she would forget what had happened then maybe she would be happier. That was all I wished. I bowed my head in respect and left the room to go and wake up her brother. The ruder, ignorant side of her.

(Emily's POV)

I walked down to the dining room to await my brothers arrival. I entered the room and I saw our other servants stood there. I walked past the serving trolley and I noticed that the Cyan blue tea set with the gold rim had been set and I smiled. Sebastian had really out done himself. He was always considerate and really paid attention to me. I sat down and just as I was about to pour my own tea my other half entered...Ciel. I could instantly tell he wasn't in a good mood so I decided not to annoy him. He looked down at the table which had been laid perfectly and he remarked "What the hell is this Sebastian? Have you started to favour her more than me now? Or is this a bid to find love?" With this he picked up one of the cups on the trolley and threw it to the ground. Sebastian just lowered his head in shame and I felt a pang in my heart. It wasn't his fault. I placed my cup down and protested "Get over it. He can choose what he wants. Don't start having a go at him just because you're in a bad mood." He glared at me and his anger exploded. "As the master of this house what I say goes and he knows it. I hate this set." That was it he had pushed it too far.

I forced my chair back and stormed over to him. within an instant I had his arm behind his back and pinned him to the floor. Sebastian had taught me this move and for that I was very grateful. "You should be grateful that Sebastian is there to tie your shoelaces in the morning. He has tried his very best to keep you happy you spoilt brat so keep your mouth shut and live with it or you can leave this house and you won't be welcome back." I could feel him shaking underneath me so I let him go and stood up. I turned to Sebastian who was looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights and said calmly "Please can you call Mrs Harris in early. I will be waiting in the parlour. Oh and sorry for that unsightly scene." With this I bowed my head and walked out.

(Sebastian's POV)

She had just used the move I had ensured she knew. I helped Ciel off the floor and I made sure he was seated before I attended to the knocking at the door. I opened it and Mrs Harris was stood there. I bowed and showed her to the parlour where my mistress resided. I opened the door and I was shocked to see Emily on the floor. I walked over and said in concern "My lady, are you alright? what happened?" She looked up at me and replied with pain in her voice "Yes I am fine, I turned on my ankle wrong while practising the Viennese Waltz that's all." I could see that she was hurting that she would dare to tell. So with a swift movement I picked her up and placed her on the sofa that was nearby. I turned to Mrs Harris and said as politely as I could "Please may you go easy on her, she has twisted her ankle pretty bad and I don't want a worse injury." With this said I walked out of the room and down the hallway to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

(Sebastian's POV)

I clicked open my pocket watch. 4:34. We had two hours till Mr Deliano was due to arrive. Just as I was preparing the meat the bell for the masters study rang. What did he want now? There was less than two hours left and he called me when I needed to do this job. I walked down the hallway and when I reached the study I knocked on the door. "Come in!" I opened the door and walked in and he was just sat there with papers scattered all over the desk.

"I want something sweet. Make me a parfait." I sighed. No manner what so ever. "I am afraid I cannot my lord, it will ruin your dinner." He tutted and then said in a more darker tone "Ok then we need to show Mr Deliano the proper Phantomhive treatment...if you know what I mean." He had that look in his eye that told me that he really wanted this person either dead or severely injured. I just bowed and said "Yes, My lord." I was smiling because he had grown in his anger and lust for revenge. I walked out of the study to find all my hard work ruined. Why was everyone trying to ruin Emily's perfect day.

(Emily's POV)

I heard some commotion outside the library so when I poked my head out what I saw came as a surprise to me. I could see the other servants of the manor whining about how they had ruined Sebastian's plans and how they were very sorry. I could see the frustration and anger growing in his face and I truly felt sorry for him. I closed the door and sighed. He had a lot of work to do if he was to make it on time. I took up my seat beside the window where I always sat when reading and started the next chapter of Moby Dick.

A few hours later Sebastian came into the library. I smiled and asked "Hello Sebastian, How can I be of service to you?" He smiled warmly and said "My lady, do you wish to change before dinner or are you ok as you are?" I put the book down and stood up and walked over to him. "No thank you Sebastian I am perfectly fine as I am, but thank you for asking." I walked out of the library and down to my room. I took up a chair close to my window and looked down into the garden below. Instead of seeing the usual green lawn and cobbled path I saw gravel and a small pond. Then it hit me, Sebastian had changed everything around to disguise the fact that the lawn had been ruined by Finny. As I was about to assess the rest of the garden a carriage turned up so I made my way out of my room and down to the drawing room where my brother, Ciel resided to meet out guest.

Mr Deliano walked through the door and smiled at Ciel and me. I could tell he was a fraud from the start and I didn't like him at all. "Ah Lord Phantomhive, it is a pleasure to meet you…" Then he looked towards me and carried on "…and this must be your lady wife." I was totally shocked. I stood up from the sofa I was sitting on and exclaimed "Excuse me sir, but I am his sister not his wife." His face totally dropped. I felt really offended, how could I be mistaken for his wife. It was unreal.

I took my seat next to Ciel and looked down at the board game he had laid out. It was the Happy Ever After game. He often used this game to tell Sebastian what he wanted doing to guests that we disobedient. As it was Mr Deliano had sold the East Indian factory without telling him or asking him. And this pissed him off.

*Time passes brought to you by Sebastian and Emily dancing*

(Ciel's POV)

I was a quarter of the way through the game when I could tell Mr Deliano was becoming impatient. This game was much more fun than any others I have played before. I had just landed on the square that read Bewitched by the eyes of the dead. That should be fun for Sebastian to re-create. His turn. I glanced over at Emily to see that her head was in a book…once again. When she caught me looking she pulled a face and carried on. I turned back to my game. He had just landed on the square that read Lose a limb in the enchanted forest. I was sure to win now because he could only move half the amount of spaces. "…an extra 1200 pounds to fund our expansion of the factory."

I looked up. Was he really trying to ask me for money when he had already sold my factory? He held out his hand to signal my turn but I swiftly said "It's your turn again, I miss a turn remember." He rolled again and landed on a six. Just my luck he could only move three spaces. And I had to remind him of this. So he moved to the square that read Your body is burnt by raging flames. Perfect. Tonight's entertainment was sure to be fun. Then Sebastian called us for dinner.

(Emily's POV)

I turned to the door and saw Sebastian was waiting patiently so I stood up and made my way out onto the patio. I walked in front of my brother most of the time but when we drew near to the table he made his way over to the place where I usually sit. I gave him a puzzled look but he just smiled and gestured for me to sit down. I nearly hit the floor...was he really doing this? I walked over to the seat and gave him a small smile. I knew this was an act he had put on but I went along with it anyway. I sat down and as he pushed my chair in he went too far and winded me. I winced, this was his revenge for earlier. However, this was nothing compared to what I have already felt. "Are you okay my dear sister? I'm sorry if I hurt you" I turned to him and saw the fake smile on his lips. I smiled back and replied "Yes thank you Ciel, and don't worry it was nothing."

Mr Deliano looked at us both in utter disbelief "What perfect siblings you two are. How is that so?" I looked at our guest and smiled "It was through Sebastian's hard work that I was able to become closer to my brother." Mr Deliano looked up at Sebastian and said "Well congratulations Sebastian, you have created the perfect pair of siblings." Sebastian bowed and replied "If I couldn't do this much for my young mistress then what kind of butler would I be?" I smiled at him and then he disappeared inside to go and fetch dinner.

(Sebastian's POV)

I had to walk out. If I didn't then I would of had a nose bleed or gone bright red. She gave me the praise for what she was doing and yet she didn't want it. I walked into the kitchen to see Bardroy and cutting the meat up like I told him to and Finny was helping. I couldn't stop thinking about what Emily had just remarked It was through Sebastian's hard work that I was able to become closer to my brother. Did she really mean that? I laid out the dishes on the serving trolley when Meyrin came in with the wine that I had ordered for our guest. Tonight would be perfect...for her sake. I walked out with the trolley in tow and pronounced...

(Emily's POV)

..."I would like to present tonight's dinner. Beef donburi courtesy of our chef." I turned to Sebastian and he had that tired stance that told me that he had done everything by himself again. As he came over to me I smiled warmly and I was sure a faint blush appeared but it was gone by the time he had reached Ciel. I turned to the bowl in front of me and it looked like a meal worthy of royalty. You could tell he had taken a lot of care while coming up with this dish. Beef donburi...what a creative name. "A pile of raw meat?" I turned to our guest. How dare he mock Sebastian's cooking.

"Oh no sir, this isn't just a pile of raw meat. this came from the high mountains in Japan where noblemen would serve this to the guest as a show of appreciation for all the hard work they have done. This is your reward for all the hard work you have done for the Funtom company Mr Deliano. My young master wants you to know he appreciates your work." I smiled. He had done it again and with absolute style and calm. "To accompany tonight's meal we have a wine that came from Italy...our maid shall pour it, Meyrin." He stepped back from the table and allowed her to pass. She seemed a bit shaky on her feet and when I looked her glasses were cracked. She went to pour Mr Deliano a drink when she missed and it landed on the cloth. No, this was it. We were going to be ruined. I noticed something from the corner of my eye and saw that the table cloth was moving down the table without anything being knocked over. At the end Sebastian held the cloth and stood by Ciel. Mr Deliano looked down and exclaimed "Where did the table cloth go?"

I looked at my brother and he simply replied "I had it removed, it had a speck of dirt on it and I thought that was most unsightly." Mr Deliano looked up and turned to Sebastian "My what an able butler you have." Ciel just smiled his evil smile and said "As a servant of my manor he simply did as he was expected." Sebastian just bowed and said "For if I couldn't do this much for my young master...well then what kind of butler would I be?" I stood up from the table "Gentlemen, I do beg pardon but I have me studies with Mr McGuire this evening so I shall leave you to talk business." With that I bowed my head and walked away from the table. How dare he take all the credit for what Sebastian did. He didn't need telling...no he just didn't want you to look a fool. He was always doing that and it wasn't fair on Sebastian.

I opened the door to the library and walked over to the shelves. I found Treasure Island and walked over to the window seat in the library. I took off my shoes and places them near the door neatly and started to read. I had barely got two thirds of the way through the book when Sebastian entered with a tray that held a cake. I placed the book down by my side and walked over to the little desk that was near. "Treasure Island...not very good for studying geography in is it my lady." I took a hold of the fork and replied "I was on a break." I ate a piece and he instantly knew I was lying. I just couldn't let him know about my feelings.

(Sebastian's POV)

I stood beside her and when she couldn't look me in the eye I put my hand under her chin and puller her a little closer to me. "My lady, lying achieves nothing. I understand your brother can be a pain but you will have to live with it." She had gone a bright shade of red and I could tell that she was embarrassed or nervous. However I knew something I could tell in her eyes...she loved me. I let her chin go and as I pulled my hand away she retrieved it and looked up at me. She grasped the hem of my white glove. I started to protest but she gave me that look that told me to hold my tongue. I stood perfectly still while she took the glove off and revealed the mark I truly hated. She caressed the mark and then brought my hand up to her lips. She kissed the mark but it wasn't a short kiss but a long lingering that felt like it didn't want to end. I shivered with pleasure...this was perfect.

She lifted her head up and looked at me with those pained eyes. All I could do was stare into them mesmerised. Before I could stop her she had a hold of my head and I could tell what she wanted. However I couldn't...not yet. I couldn't get attached, not to her. She was my prey but I so wanted to love her. Why did fate do this to me? I grasped her hand and took them away from my face and said with regret "My lady, I have to attend to our guest but I will be back when you are ready to retire for the evening." With this I walked out and left her standing there. Why? I don't know but I couldn't get attached. I had a service to provide and her soul would be her payment. Why is it like this?

(Emily's POV)

I looked down to the floor. Why? Why did he stop? I know he wanted it...but he stopped. I looked at the book I was reading. I sighed. I wish I could be transported to a different world where my pain could disappear, but then I would have no need for him. I returned the book to the shelf and walked out of the room and down the hallway. I entered the study where my brother was sat with the game board still out. I heard Mr Deliano scream and that's when I knew what Ciel had ordered Sebastian to do. "What an unattractive scream." My brother turned around and replied "That's what he gets when he goes behind my back and sells the Indian factory without me knowing...then has the audacity to ask for more money. Be careful you could end up my enemy as well." I walked up to him and pushed his head back to back of the chair to ensure he was listening and replied "Just try it and I could kill you within an instant. Degree of relation does not matter to me." I released his head and left the room.

I walked into my room and shut the door. I didn't want to hurt him but he was getting on my nerves. I sat down on my bed and waited for Sebastian. It was going to be another sleepless night. I never slept because of what happened two years ago. Those people that tortured me and Ciel and took away everything we stood for are still out there...and they want us. I have to keep him safe but when he acts like a jerk I can't bear him. Which is why we made a contract with Sebastian. I touched the eye patch and I a tear fell from my eye. I gasped as a cold hand touched my face and I looked up to find Sebastian stood there. He had come in so quietly I hadn't even heard him. "Are you ready for bed my lady?" I simply nodded and that is when he pulled out my night gown. I stood up and closed my eyes while he put it on then I opened them to find him with a blind fold on.

He untied his blind fold the looked at me. I saw the crimson eyes that peered into my soul and all I could do was look away. I saw lust and something I didn't think demons were capable of: Love. I looked up at him and asked "Do you think I am attractive?" He looked a little surprised by my question but he replied "My lady, I could never think of you like that." I looked down and mumbled "You didn't answer my question." He knelt down and pulled my chin so it was level with his and smiled "The most beautiful girl I have ever met, My lady Emily." I grasped his hand and replied "Your lying to try and cheer me up." He pulled me closer and whispered "Lying is a human thing in which I would never engage in, I don't lie to my mistress." With this he opened up the covers and laid me down. He tucked me in and left the room.

I sat there and shivered. Everything I wanted was coming true and now I knew...Sebastian loved me. He was an able butler...able to love. I curled up and watched the moon rise in the get black sky. How perfect our...no my butler was.
