Ciel's POV:
Where was I don't know, I woke up in an alley without any clue of what happened. All I can remember is that my house was burned down and my parents are dead. Where do I live? I felt very sickly for some reason, maybe I could find Lizzie's house. It's been awhile but what happened in all that time? The sun was blinding, I stood up and noticed a bag of money and a small bag of food.
A large building was the first thing I saw, no not a building a tower with no true inside. The streets didn't have many people roaming it at this time, it must be early. The only place I could think of going to before anything was my house, but it was burned to ashes wasn't it. Well I would still go, that would be my first journey. But do I have good resources to make it there?
I started walking when more people started filling the streets. Before that I was sitting in the alley petting a black cat that happened to be there in that time. "Excuse me Ciel?" I turned around to see a man who I didn't recognize. "Where's your butler? I'd suspect to see him with you," The man had long gray hair that covered his face and he wore all black. I said "I'm sorry sir I don't have a butler, by the way do I know you?" He put a confused face and said "It's the Undertaker, we've done much business together, and you always had Sebastian Michaelis your butler with you!"
"I'm sorry sir I never have had a butler, but it's nice to meet you Undertaker maybe we shall see each other again," I said. What was he talking about, who is Sebastian Michaelis. When he said that name 'Sebastian Michaelis' it gave me a strange feeling. Well I should be on my way to my manor just to take one last look. I said "Wait Undertaker!" He turned around and said "Yes Ciel?" I asked " Where are we, are we in London?" He said "Yeah, I thought you'd know that,"
Well being that I'm in London this will be a long walk, unless I can get a ride. I walked towards the way to my manor until I heard a male voice say "Ciel!" Who could it be now! I turned around to see two men that looked as if they were from India. I said "Oh hello sir, do I know you," They stopped and one of them said "Ciel it's me prince Soma and Agni,"
"Your majesty it's an honor to meet you, if you don't mind me asking are you the prince of India?" I said full of surprise. " Ciel why are you talking so formally to me, even when we first met you weren't so formal," I raised an eyebrow and said " When we met? I'm sorry prince Soma but we haven't met before, if you don't mind I'll be on my way," His jaw dropped and he yelled "Ciel wait!" I said " Yes," Prince Soma said " You have lost your memories haven't you," I said " Listen all I remember is my manor burned and my family died so I would like to go take one last look at the burned down house and maybe even find a clue, now I will be on my way,"
I heard sobbing in the back ground, I rolled my eyes and said " It was an honor meeting you...Prince Soma," He yelled " He must be playing a trick on us Agni, he doesn't know us at all!" Prince Soma said "Where will you go after you find the house! Do you have a place to call home?" I stopped in my place and said " No I don't but I don't think you would be of any help for me," He grabbed my shoulder and said " You may not remember but you helped me through tough times and I would like to help you Ciel Phantomhive, Agni we will help the boy and he will stay with us ok!" The one named Agni said "Yes my lord,"
Where have I heard that? 'Yes my lord' it feels so familiar to hear someone say that. Prince Soma said " Wait, where is that butler of yours I can't forget him when he is such an amazing fighter!" I said "I'm sorry Prince Soma but I don't have a butler," He said "What do you mean you don't have a butler he was always by your side, he was so devoted to you! Where has our past gone?" That is two people who have asked about a butler I apparently had. Who is this strange butler they speak of, Sebastian Michaelis?
We were in a carriage and the Prince was talking to Agni non-stop about something I didn't care for. All I heard was my name mentioned once and awhile, how strange he acts as if he's known me for a long time. I heard Agni say " We are here, Ciel if you'd like to go look around," I said " This isn't where I lived, I don't recognize this place at all," Agni said " We might have not ever visited you before the town burned but this is definitely where you lived,"
I stepped out and said " No this isn't I'm telling you, this isn't where my mom, dad, aunt, Lizzie, and I spent our life I would remember those days without a struggle unlike how I'm dealing with my situation right now," There jaws dropped and they said " You mean the house that burned three years ago?" I said "It's been three years? What happened between all those years?!" Agni said "Those three years you had three servants and two butlers, Tanaka didn't do much though he was a butler," I asked could you take me to the servants? WHERE ARE THEY?!"
We got back in the carriage and the prince said "I've heard that since you and Sebastian went missing they have been having a hard life, they would be excited to see you are alive," I said "They think I'm dead? AND WHO IS SEBASTIAN?" Agni said " You truly have lost your memory bad, Sebastian Michaelis was your butler he was like a shadow he had great fighting skills, he was very loyal to you, and he always wore something black mostly a suit.
We arrived at a small hotel that was very ran down and looked as if it didn't even have power. I said "They live here? Poor innocent souls barely have any power at all?" I opened the door and saw one man at the counter and no one else was in the room. He looked up and said "Oh Ciel Phantomhive is it? Do you have money now or are you going to give me that ring I took a liking to?" I grasped the ring and said "This is my only memory of my family why would I give it to someone like you!"
Prince Soma said "We aren't here to take a room I would like to know if three people came in here and took a room, their names would be Bardoy, Finnian, and Mey-Rin?" He said "Room 705," We walked down the hall that said rooms 650-750. We looked at many doors until we reached room seven hundred five. Agni knocked on the door and a familiar female voice said "One second I'll be there!"
A female older opened the door and froze looking at me. I said "Hello, are you alright?" She snapped out of her trance and said "Young master? Is it really you?" I said "I have no idea what you are talking about but these men say that we once knew each other?" Two men ran to the door, also older than me both with messed up blond hair. They both said "YOUNG MASTER," I backed up and said "So these people did know me?"
"What happened to him?" The lady asked. Prince Soma said " I am pretty sure he lost his memory somehow, Sebastian wasn't with him and Ciel doesn't even remember who Sebastian is, he only remembers to when his first manor was burned down and his family died," The girl had a heart broken expression as Prince Soma explained this. I said "Well if you knew me from the past three years could you tell me, what happened?"
" You see we were all employed by your butler Sebastian, he took us in gave us shelter food, and other needs if we worked for you, through the years with you we worked for you and you worked for the queen of England, but after you left for a trip to Paris you never came back, Until now! I'm so glad to see you Ciel," I tried to take it all in; I worked for the queen like my father how is that possible at that age?
"Well thank you so much for helping me, I hope to see you around town Mey-Rin, Finny, and Bard I will be on my way," I said to them. They all yelled "Wait! We just found you and you're leaving us here?" I said "If you want to see me or something you can contact them," Pointing to the prince and Agni. I turned around walking out the doors. The room was filled with silent and we left, leaving the lost workers in their troubled state.
"Are you going to do anything about them?" Agni and the prince asked. I said " They seem to be making it on their own, if they lose their shelter and all that I would help them but I don't have anything, I'm worse than them it's you who should be helping them," There jaws dropped and they ran back to the hotel. I sighed and leaned against the carriage, how stupid could they possibly be? Well I won't say anything because they are helping me out.
We all arrived at a small mansion that belonged to Agni and the prince. Mey-Rin and the others would be staying with us too, would we all fit! It turns out the inside was bigger than it looked from the outside. I said "So, where do I sleep?" There seemed to be more rooms then needed. I'm sure all of us would easily fit in this house. Prince Soma said "Agni take them each to a room, oh and guys tomorrow we can go to town and grab a couple outfits for each of you,"
I was in a small room with a full sized bed, a bathroom and some other furniture. I sat on the bed and sighed, who is Sebastian Michaelis the one who was so devoted to me but I have no memory of? I slipped of my coat and shoes and laid in the bed. I starred at a strange crow with red eyes that sat at my window and seemed to watch my every move. It flapped its wings and cocked its head, if it thought it was getting in it had something else coming! I laid in bed for what seemed like hours until I finally fell asleep.
Dream:
I was in a large meadow of black and white flowers, not one person seemed to be anywhere near me. I called "Hello? Is anyone there?" Not one voice was heard except the small echo of my voice. It turned around to find a small oak tree and in its branches sat the very crow that was at my window step. Suddenly I felt a burning pain on my right eye. I collapsed in pain and felt a hand on my shoulder.
A man all in black stood above me, he had black hair and strange red eyes. I said "Who are you!" He replied "Your contract with me seems to still longer in your soul," I said "You didn't answer my question, what are you talking about, contract?" I glanced over at the tree to see that the crow had disappeared; wait it couldn't be could it? Was this strange man that stood before me also the crow?
"That's not all Ciel Phantomhive but I am the crow that appeared in your window," He said. My eyes widened, why would he be watching me, and also it's impossible for a human to shape shift! I said "Would you please tell me who you are! You seem so familiar but it just doesn't came to mind," He smirked and said "You'll figure it out if you really think of your past,"
My eyes widened, he couldn't be the butler Sebastian Michaelis. I said "Sebastian?" A smile widened across his face but didn't answer. Could he be it, the butler who I used to be protected by and he did it for nothing? He put a hand covering my eye and I became very tired. I said "What...Sebastian," But before I could say another word my dream had turned black.
End of dream:
I woke up with sweat dripping down my face, that crow. I looked at the mirror but not one animal sat in the mirror. I sighed; I must just be paranoid besides the butler probably didn't turn into a crow! How stupid to believe that rubbish dream, the man in my dream probably wasn't Sebastian anyways! I heard a knock on my door and found Mey-Rin at my door. "Breakfast is ready my lord!" I said "Thank you for letting me know, I will be down soon," I closed the door and sat on the bed.
I walked down the large stairs and went to the dining area. There was a large buffet waiting for all of us. A chorus of 'Ciel' welcomed me. "Good morning," I said sitting down next to Finny. A plate of eggs, bacon, and a cup of tea was sat in front of me. The room was filled with silent until the prince said "Is there anywhere particular you guys want to go for shopping, if not we'll go to this new outlet that was finished about a month ago," I shrugged messing with the food on my plate once and a while taking a bite of the food.
We all went in carriages to the outlet. I was in the carriage with Mey-Rin, Finnian, and Bardroy. After a couple minutes of silence I asked "This Sebastian, or my butler some say, what was he like?" They all seemed to jump from the sudden noise and Bardroy said "well he seemed like your shadow, always by your side, he wore only black, he also had black hair and brown eyes," He almost sounded like the man from my dreams except for one thing, the brown eyes he spoke of, the man from my dream had red eyes. Bardroy continued "He was also very tall but not very big, if you know what I mean," I said "I think I could picture him," The only person who came in mind is the strange man from my dreams. I shook that out of my mind once we arrived at a large area that had many buildings. We all stepped out and walked with the prince toward the outlet.
We were in just another shop, I already had a good amount of clothes, when I realized that I couldn't find any of the three of 'my servants.' I turned around when I heard my voice being called by Mey-Rin, she seemed excited and anxious. I said "Mey-Rin? Is everything alright?" I froze in shock at what I saw. She and the others found him, it couldn't be him. The man that appeared in my dream last night, could he be Sebastian my butler?
He seemed shocked also when he saw me. But right after he looked away and said "excuse me miss but if you could kindly let me go I would like to be on my way," I stepped back in shock when I saw his eyes turn bright red for a split second but back to a deep brown. Mey-Rin said "Come on Sebastian, look it's Ciel he was your master, REMEMBER!" I said "This man doesn't know me does he, if he isn't the butler you told me about then please let him go," Mey-Rin said "But he is Sebastian Michaelis, I could go ask someone else you both knew and they would say that he was your butler! Right Prince Soma,"
"Huh!" Prince Soma said turning around not even knowing what was going on. "Sebastian! It's been awhile how are you, I see that Mey-Rin must have found you," Sebastian frowned and said "I'm sorry but I don't know any of you so if you could just leave me to my business that would be kind," Sebastian said "Oh no! You didn't lose your memory too did you! Agni get Sebastian and put him in a carriage and make sure he comes back to the mansion with us!"
Sebastian's POV:
How did Ciel find all of them, does he have his memory back? I'll just deny any question about Ciel and I that should work. Mey-Rin said "Come on Sebastian, look it's Ciel he is your master! REMEMBER!" Ciel said "This man doesn't know me does he, if he isn't the butler you told me about then please let him go," So they told him, maybe he didn't get his memory back. Mey-Rin said "But he is Sebastian Michaelis, I could go ask someone who you both knew and they would say that he was your butler, right Prince Soma!"
The prince turned around and said "Huh! Sebastian, it's been awhile how are you? I see Mey-Rin found you," I frowned and said "I don't know any of you so if you could just leave me to my business that would be kind," The Prince said "Oh no! You didn't lose your memory to did you! Agni get Sebastian and put him in a carriage and make sure he comes back to the mansion with us!"
I struggled as I was pulled by Agni. I said "Why do you need me, I do have a family to get back to!" He said "Oh really well they'll have to wait," Damn it didn't help any. I was thrown in to a carriage and both doors were bolted shut. That wouldn't stop me, but I'm sure Agni is leaning against the door and if I just tore the door off he would see. My eyes turned red and I yelled "Get me out of here! Someone," I kicked the door not too hard but just so Agni would feel it. Agni said "quiet down Sebastian or else someone will get suspicious," I said "That's the idea!"
I thought of a little 'sob story' and said "Please let me out I have a very sickly daughter named Alisa Michaelis, I was getting her medicine, and if she doesn't get any medicine soon she could die!" He said "Oh really ok I'll make sure for the prince to send a doctor, what is your address," Damn you, figures he would do that. He said "Yep that's what I thought, not a real story," I kicked the door and said "You don't know who you're dealing with now let me out!" He chuckled and said "Nope,"
The prince, Ciel, and Agni sat in the same carriage as me. I sat in silence staring at the floor. The prince said "Don't pout Sebastian, it's not like you have anywhere's to go do you?" He was right; I truly have no where's to go, except hell which can wait. I could go to Grell...but I don't think I want to see him. The whole ride was silent, not one person talked after, Ciel stared out the window, Soma stared at the floor and Agni watched me making sure I didn't go anywhere.
We stopped at a small mansion and Agni grabbed me and said "Don't worry Sebastian you're not leaving just yet," I said "no need to be so rough I'll be a good dog," He smirked and pushed me out the carriage, I landed on my two feet of course without a trouble. Ciel seemed to try to avoid me at every moment, he truly doesn't remember but something seems to be sparking in his mind, I better keep up the clueless act.
"So why am I forced to come here?" I said. The prince said "It seems your memory but not too long ago you and this child knew each other very well, you were his butler," I said "I'm not owned by anyone, I don't work as a slave never have and I never will," Ciel asked "What have you been doing for the past three years?" I said "Well if you must know I've been raising a family, I have a daughter a wife and a son who is off in college,"
"Bring us to meet your family pleases mister Michaelis," Ciel said with a chime in his voice. I smirked and said "Why would I, you might just torture them as you will with me won't you," The prince laughed and said "Why would we torture you, you'd probably kill us you have equal fighting skills to Agni we have experienced it in person," I chuckled and said "Ok how about this Agni and I will do a fist fight and whoever falls first loses if I win you let me go and never bother me again but if you win I'll tell you everything you need to know," The prince put a smile and said "Sounds like a deal, Agni fight Sebastian and win that's an order," His bandage from his wrist fell and he said "Yes Prince Soma,"
He was good I admit but a demon could never lose to a messily human. I dodged his hand each time it came close and hit him many times, he clenched but didn't fall. I smirked and said "Are you going to give up, it would be so much easier," He dodged my next hit distracting me and I was flipped on my back. Agni said "Ok Sebastian spit it out," I stood up and said "Your good I admit it, I'll start off with I've been lying the whole time I have full memory of the past and yes I was Ciel Phantomhive's butler for a good amount of time,"
Ciel's POV:
My jaw dropped at Sebastian claiming that he was my butler. Without control I spat out "How did I lose my memory! What happened why did I wake up in an alley with only a bag of food and money that wouldn't even last a day?" Sebastian smiled and said "You see Ciel that's all I had with me, and the way you lost your memory I don't think you want to know, unless you would like to go to hell. I said "I find it hard to believe I would go to hell now tell me Sebastian!"
He pulled me off into another room and sat me on a bed. Banging came from the door and they yelled things like "LET US IN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DON'T HURT CIEL!" I said "well it must be a big secret for you having to have me in another room, QUITE DOWN GUYS JUST GO SOME WHERES ELSE FOR A SECOND!" Sebastian said "You may not tell anyone my true identity, on the day your parents died you called for me a demon to make a contract so I would eat your soul in return of showing the people who humiliated you what is was like," I said "Wait you're a demon, your eyes can change red right!" He raised an eyebrow and said "How did you know that," I said "I saw them change in the shop,"
"Now then as I was saying, so you lived in a manor that was very similar to your original home with the three servants and a demon dog along with two butlers, soon we...fell in love and after we completed the contract I couldn't kill you so I erased every memory of the past so you could live a full, happy life," I stared in shock. I was in live with not only a man but a demon butler. Sebastian stood up and held out his hand to me and said "Come on now, just don't reveal I'm a demon and you should be just fine,"
I took his hand and we walked through the door. Right as we exited the room Sebastian was tackled down by Agni and the prince. I said "Hey he didn't do anything why are you tackling Sebastian!" They stopped and sprung up. Sebastian stood up and said "Well I'm sorry I had to keep it from you but you see it's just one hell of a secret I'm sure Ciel won't tell," I looked at him and said "Oh yeah sure," They gave us a strange look and said "So Ciel do you know anything crucial that we could know," I said "He told everything you needed to know out here, the rest you can figure out on your own,"
I stepped in my room Sebastian following me along. I said "You know you don't have to follow me around Sebastian you're not my butler, our contract was broken so you're free," He said "Oh sorry force of habit," I grabbed some clothes and set them down on my sink. I turned around going to grab some materials when I was stopped by Sebastian crashing our lips together. I froze in my very spot, he released and said "I'm so sorry Ciel it's just..." I stopped him and said "I know if I were you I wouldn't be able to hold in, you still have every memory, I'd probably be worse if I could just have a day or two to catch up on my memory maybe then we could, because to tell the truth I liked that kiss,"
Sebastian helped me out of my clothes and had warm water running in the tub. I said "You really don't have to help me, I'm sure when the contract was still between us you worked very hard so you just need to relax and do what you want," Sebastian said "What I'd like to do is a little soon for that but just being with you is what I'd like to do," I blushed a little and said "Oh ok Sebastian,"
"Goodnight Sebastian," I said lying in bed. He planted a kiss on my forehead and said "Night Ciel," I blushed each time Sebastian showed any type of form of love towards me. Being the fact I lost every memory with him I'm not used to getting such love. I turned to face the window hoping to see the crow but all I saw was the black night sky. After minutes of sitting thinking to myself I fell asleep.
Sebastian's POV:
I stepped out the door and said "Hello Agni and Prince Soma," They gasped and Agni said "How did you know we were here, we were as quite as possible," I chuckled and said "It was actually quite obvious, I don't know if Ciel heard you but I heard you loud and clear," They sighed and Prince Soma said "Get him Agni," Agni grabbed me and I said "I won't hold back as I did before,"
I pushed away from Agni and said "Well if you don't mind I'll be going," the prince said "I figured you'd be tired because of how late it is," I said "and I would like to go to bed," Agni said "I don't think so," Grabbing me once again and pulling me from the hall. I said "so prince why do you want me," He said "Well you told Ciel but you never told us the details," I said "Because it's not something a simple human can know un less they have a wish for hell," I didn't realize my demon side was trying to take over and of course prince was cowering while Agni refused to disobey his orders.
"Well Agni I think this is the first time a human has not flee the scene of a demon, you truly a dangerous human. He smirked and said "who knew you would be a demon," He released me and said "I guess I'll see you around the house and Agni left the room," I said "well good night prince," Soma was still cowering in the corner of course, I said "Oh I hope my little secret won't get out or the gates of heaven will be out of your reach," over my shoulder as I walked up the stairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alois' POV:
"Tell me Claude, who made the contract with my little brother that day, or truly who ate his soul?" I asked. We stood in a meadow full of black and white flowers. He said " A demon, the one who took your brother's life I cannot say if we don't make a contract Alois so I'd like you to make your decision," I said " I want revenge on the one who killed my brother," Claude put a grin on his face and walked over to me covering my mouth and my world went black.
Flash back/ Dream:
I ran from the woman and man and my brother not far behind with the bag full of foods and other goods. I laughed and said "Yes! You people don't understand anything!" We went in our small abandoned home and looked through the bag finding many food items along with another couple items. Luka asked " Is this the old man's medicine, he won't need it will he?" I said "Who cares, everyone has always hated us since the day our parents died, I hope everyone dies in flames except us," Luka kneeled down on his knees with a hand to his heart and said "Yes your highness,"
It turns out he wasn't kidding about making our wish come true, a couple days later the town was burned to pieces. Ever since I brought up burning the town he started talking about demons and contracts but I just let him go on with his fantasies not even thinking they were real. The whole town turned to ash and stone, no one lived except my brother and me. But after the town was set fire I found him laying dead, he had lost his soul just to help me.
From that day on I had no home and was sent to a child's home, but not a good one at all. It was not a child's home actually more of a slave house. I was kept in an unknown area and also I didn't have good living conditions. I turned around when I heard my name called and walked over to the maid. She said "Most of the slaves have become sick so you'll be prepared for the master," I just nodded and followed her down the corridor.
I was cleaned, brushed out, and made look 'good' they would say. They may think I look good on the outside, pure clean, perfect. But I've been scarred for life and should never feel the same. The made told me how to act then stepped in front of me knocking on the door. I just stood behind her and waited. She exited the hall and I just waited.
I opened the door and peaked in to see an elder man sitting in a large bath and many people stood around him. The one maid was being yelled at until I saw the man's fix on me and he seemed shocked. He grabbed a towel covering his body and walked up to me and said "Come here young man," I followed him and sat where he gestured me too.
I felt broken after the torture, I was now scared inside out. I had hickies covering my body and I felt as if all life inside me was sucked out. The man was asleep on the floor, how pathetic. The maid helped me up and we walked to the cells. I turned around to see a small child who had tapped me. I asked "Yea?" and the kid said "You wanna know something cool! I know how to call a demon, wanna learn?"
End of flash back:
That is how it began and now I'm pampered by a demon everyday and soon I will try to get Sebastian and his new food. Claude tended to my wounds and said "Today's schedule is empty, what would you like to do today?" I said "I would like to see Ciel, if possible," I had a grin across my face as Claude slipped on my shirt and buttoned each button. Yes I will visit my new little friend today, that would be nice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ciel's POV:
I now live in a manor with Sebastian; I still don't understand why he takes care of me even though the contract was broken. It must be just our past time; he has to be attached to his past time with me being that we liked each other. I heard a knock come from the door and Sebastian said " We have visitors if you could come down stairs Ciel," I walked to the door and saw Sebastian standing there, I don't blame myself for having feelings for him it's just I feel like we just met and that would be strange.
I sat on the couch across from the child about my age that had bright blonde hair and aqua colored eyes. He also had a butler, probably a demon, who stood by his side glaring at Sebastian with what seemed like a death glare. While Sebastian and the butler seemed to be having a 'stare contest' the boy was just sitting looking at me with a seductive glare on his face.
Sebastian said "This is Alois and his butler Claude," Which seemed to get the strange guest out of there state of staring. Alois said "It's nice to meet the head of the Phantomhive manor I've heard about your toy company," Toy company? I guess I worked in the toy company. Sebastian leaned next to me and whispered " Yes you worked in the toy industry just to let you know, your company is very popular in London," I sighed and said " Well thank you Alois it's nice to meet you too,"
Sebastian said "Well since we have a guest I'll make an afternoon snack and get dinner preperations ready, you kids can talk and whatever else you please," He left me in the room alone with Alois who seemed to a little happier about Sebastian leaving than any other person would be.
"So Ciel Phantomhive you do have a contract with that demon right?" Alois said. I smiled and said "So you have a contract with a demon, me I actually don't have a true contract right now," Alois seemed a little shocked at this and said "But why would he serve you if you don't have a contract with him?" I chuckled and said "That I don't even know but you can ask him yourself,"
Sebastian set tea in front of both of us and said " If you two need anything just call and I'll be there," I said " Thank you Sebastian now you can be on your way," Alois glared at Sebastian with hatred but didn't say a word about contracts and other things such as that.
Alois said " I know what we can do to make time pass a contest, who ever loses must do what the other want for one whole day," I said " Ok I agree shall we start with fencing?" He nodded and we headed for the library for our duel. Two swords waited for us in the large room.
"We start back to back take ten steps then turn around and start," Alois said. I nodded and said " Ok I'm ready," We started walking and I turned around on four but he had his sword ready and said " No cheating Ciel," With a wink on his face. I frowned and we started the duel which was much more competitive than I thought.
Before I knew it we were up the stairs still clashing swords together. He said " Ready to give in to my submission Ciel?!" I said "No way, it's you who will be under my control. I didn't realize I was against the railing which made me more frantically fighting. Alois had a smirk on his face as he hit our swords together one last time and I fell from the railing.
I clenched my eyes shut as I banged against the hard cold ground and I was out of breath. I gasped for air when I hit the ground and clutched my stomach. Not long after Alois jumped down from the railing next to me and kicked my sword from my side and had his pointed towards my chest. He said "Ciel Phantomhive my sword is a blessing and you shall experience it's blessing,"
At that line I clenched my head from a sudden scene that flashed before my eyes of a small girl speaking to me on a high platform next to a man dressed in all white. Alois yelled "Hey Ciel! What the hell is wrong with you?" The pain wouldn't go away as more and more of my life started flashing before my eyes until it settled down and the pain disappeared.
I looked up at Alois with a grimace and he put a smirk on his face and said " Well I may not get a full day of entertainment from you but killing you is just as good," His sword came to my chest but I caught the sword with my hand and I could feel the blade cut through my skin. Alois said "How is that possible it must hurt!"
I pulled the sword from his switching our placement making him stuck on the ground begging for his life while I have the sword to end his life. I said "Alois say goodbye to all you know right now because your life will now end," I brought the sword down and it pierced through his skin and a horrible smell filled the room. Too much blood has been spilled here.
The doors busted open and both Sebastian and Claude came running in the room. I ignored their presence and once again aimed the sword for Alois but he just stopped me by grabbing to my leg and started begging as tears streamed down his face. I didn't hesitate and went for hitting the sword to him but a strong hand stopped me and I saw Alois's butler. I scowled and slapped the man across the face; I am getting too stressed out by the situation to control the situation.
Sebastian came to my side and said "Ciel what happened?" I said " Well we started a simple competition and it got a little out of hand after I fell off the railing," He sighed and said " Be more careful Ciel I can't always be there to stop you, it's not like when we had the contract but I will try to protect you with all I can," I didn't realize how much my hand hurts until now.
Alois and Claude left the manor and now it was just Sebastian and I. He tended to my wound and said "Why did they even come? They didn't do much but cause trouble and glare at something or someone," I chuckled and said " It's true they did glare at things a lot," I looked out the window not even realizing it was getting dark and I was becoming tired.
I lay in bed and closed my eyes just wanting to go to sleep. So much has happened these past days and I'd just like to relax for awhile instead of having strange hectic days where people talk about things I have no memory of. I heard the door open but I didn't care I just want to sleep forever. I heard Sebastian say "Ciel?" I didn't open my eyes and just acted as if I was deep asleep.
Sebastian sat next to me leaning in planting a small kiss on my forehead and said " I really do miss you Ciel," He misses me? Well I guess since we used to love each other and now I lost my memory he wants the past back. But the past is gone and he'll have to wait. Soon after Sebastian left the room and I fell asleep still pondering my feelings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ciel's POV:
A knock on the door awakes me and I see Sebastian enter the room opening the curtains. Sebastian says "Today you're going to see Elizabeth not only a family friend but also your...fiancé," I said "Wait if I'm to marry her then why were we," I was stopped with Sebastian said "We didn't really care for those small problems until the contract was finished and all I did was take away your memory, I'll help you with anything she might ask about,"
I said "Why don't we just tell her I have amnesia?" Sebastian helped me into my clothes for the day. He said "I guess you can tell her that your choice," I sighed and walked down stairs to find a young girl sitting on the couch talking to a much older lady who say next to her. She turned around and came running to me and squealed "CIEL!" I said "Um hello Elizabeth," She said "Oh Ciel how many times do I have to say it but call me Lizzie,"
Sebastian tapped Lizzie on the shoulder and whispered in her ear. I was unable to hear what he was telling her but I'm sure he is telling her about the memory lost. Her jaw dropped and she said "Ciel I'm so sorry, so you can only remember to back when your parents died?" I nodded and said "But that doesn't change anything we can still go for the picnic and boating,"
In the boat Lizzie went on and on about something that happened to her. I guess I was there because why else would she tell me about this. I just sat in the boat and stared off into space. I realized Lizzie was saying my name and tapping my shoulder. I said "Huh!" Lizzie sighed and said "It's time to eat!" I said "Oh ok," and got the boat over to the side and held out my hand for Lizzie.
I made a plate for Lizzie and I and we sat down together. Sebastian came over and said "I hope the food is too your likings and if not just tell me," He walked away and left Lizzie and I alone, I'm not sure if that's good or not. After finishing up our meal Lizzie said "Hey Ciel I heard that the White stag lives here, the white stag is a mysterious deer that is supposed to give you good luck and happiness for your whole life do you want to find it,"
Of course that wasn't a question I was forced to follow her through the forest looking for a deer that might not even exist how sad is this. I dodged the many limbs of trees and was beeing pulled by Lizzie. I managed to get out "Lizzie could we slow down? Besides how could we find the stag going this fast?"She came to a complete stop and said "Oh come on Ciel get out of the house and live a little for once!"
We stopped when Sebastian stopped us and said "It's just about time to go we better head back," Lizzie said "But we haven't found the stag yet!" Sebastian said "We can come back tomorrow if you want," But Lizzie said "What if the stag leaves!" Sebastian sighed and said "One more hour then I'll be back and we'll leave," Lizzie smiled largely and said "Thank you Sebastian,"
It seemed as if an hour would never pass, all Lizzie would do was look for the stag. We soon came to the edge of the forest and Lizzie pulled me towards the river saying "I saw it I saw it, we have to cross the river!" I said "Lizzie even I could tell the rapids are to fast to cross no matter on boat or foot," Lizzie ignored me and stepped in the boat.
Right after she stepped in the boat it started trying to go straight and left the side. I looked all around me and noticed a crack in the damn that Lizzie was in front of. I yelled "Lizzie its going to flood! Just stay there and I'll get you," Sebastian came to my side and said "Your orders," I said "Just stop the driver from flooding," and dived in the water towards Lizzie. The current was very strong which made it hard to get to her but I soon made it to her.
I climbed in the boat and said "Ok can you trust me?" She nodded and took my hand. But before anything else we were covered from head to toe by water. I held my breath and looked for Lizzie but she wasn't anywhere's near me. I looked for the top of the water but I couldn't find it before blacking out from lack of air.
I woke up coughing up water and gasping for air. Lizzie, Sebastian and the three servants sat beside me with worried faces. The sky was now clear and beautiful and the river now calmed down. I sat up and said "Sebastian I thought I told you to stop it from flooding?" Sebastian said "I did stop it from flooding but that's all you told me to do so I didn't take pre-caution to you in the river figuring you could swim but I guess I was wrong,"
Lizzie said "Guess what I found the white stag come and see!" We followed and found a meadow of black and white flowers. Suddenly the same pain as yesterday filled my head and another scene filled my head of Sebastian and I in the field and making the contract. I clutched at my head and fell to the ground in pain, why would it do this if I already know of Sebastian and I making the contract?
Sebastian kneeled beside me and said "Ciel are you alright?" After the scene ended the pain slowly went away. I stood up and said "Sorry I'm fine just uh..." Sebastian said "You don't need to tell me I think I know what happened; we better get you home,"
I lay in bed and Sebastian brought in a single cup tea. I took the cup and said "Thank you Sebastian, I still don't understand why you take care of me without a contract?" Sebastian said "Well if you want we can make a contract but make sure your sure about the answer," I said "I would like to make a contract to kill Alois and his butler," Sebastian said "Are you sure, the gates of heaven will forever be out of your reach?" I sighed and said "I have no doubts,"
Sebastian put his hand over my left eye and I felt a shock of pain before I went numb and was beginning to get tired. The last thing I saw was the smirk on Sebastian's face and he said "Good choice Ciel, after you wake up you'll have all memories back and we'll resume but with a new target,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ciel's POV:
I woke up and all my past and feelings flashed in front of me and it stopped with Sebastian's last painful words. I went to my mirror and saw the same purple mark covering my left eye. I sighed and said "It's nice to be back but what will happen in the end?" I felt Sebastian's hand on my shoulder and I looked up, he had a smirk on his face and he said " Welcome back Ciel, do you have your memory back now?" I nodded and said "Sebastian bring tea to my study," He kneeled on his knee with a hand on where his heart would be and he said "Yes my lord." and left the room.
I sat in the study when I saw Sebastian enter with the tea. He also sat a letter on the desk. I opened it and read through the letter. I said "I thought the queen was supposed to be killed whatever happened to her?" Sebastian said " I was only able to kill Ash I didn't know where the queen was at that time, besides I wasn't ordered to on those last minutes," I sighed and said " So there is another killer, it's not another one of those right?" Grell came to mind and I just pushed the thought right away from my mind. Sebastian chuckled and took a look at the letter and said "I believe not but don't be surprised if we encounter with him with this many killings,"
I looked over the letter and asked "Who is the spider?" Sebastian said "Even I don't know this my lord," I sighed and said "Well we better go and investigate the scene," Sebastian and I walked together to the carriage and we were off to town. In the carriage and I said "Sebastian why did you make the choice of leaving me with no memory of our past?" Sebastian said "Because I don't want to kill you," I said "So what will happen when this contract is over?" Sebastian said "We will figure out that in the end, I don't plan on leaving you alone again,"
We arrived in London after a long trip. We approached the scene and I said "Well it looks like you haven't found anything yet? Maybe I can be a help," I held out the letter and he scowled. "We don't need your help Phantomhive!" Sir Randal exclaimed. I smirked and said "If that's so let's be on our way Sebastian," We walked from the scene and headed for the Undertaker once again.
His laughter filled the room. I said "What could be so funny about that!" putting my face in my palm. And said "Well where is the corpse and also I'd like to ask you a question alone after I see the corpse," He handed me a small bottle of gray dust and said "Here ya go Ciel," I said "I want to see the corpse not your silly fairy dust or whatever this is!" The Undertaker said "That is all I could find of the corpse," I pulled the Undertaker into the next room.
"Ok,Ok!" Undertaker said "What do you need," I said "Why did you say I would die the night London burned?" He chuckled and said "Well you were supposed to die but here you are, Sebastian surprised me not taking your soul," I frowned and said "Oh that stuff whatever," and left the room. Sebastian set his hand on my shoulder, not sure why, and asked "What were you doing?" I smirked and said "Just asking a simple question,"
We stood in the back of the small crowd for the funeral of the lady from the case. All they had of here was her one shoe. I turned around when I heard a lady say "We are the Turner Photographer's and we have the last photo taken of your wife and you," The man walked over to them and grabbed the photo with his burned hands but it dropped.
"She truly was beautiful we are very sorry for your lost," the woman said. She turned around and left the scene with a trail of the same substance from the bottle. I looked over at Sebastian making sure he saw this and he nodded back.
"Ciel?" Sebastian said entering the study. "I called Lau and it is the same substance from the bottle I believe its called magnesium which happens to be very explosive," I sighed and said "Anything else I should know?" Sebastian said " I found that all victims had two things in common one being newlywed and the other being they just took photos from the Turner's" I replied "So obviously the Turner's have something against newlyweds? Am I right?"
I grabbed my gun and we ran to the carriage. Sebastian jumped in the front and I was in the cart. We were moving quickly and before we knew it we were in town which was normal except the small burning area. I stepped out and said "It's Mrs. Turner just as I thought,"
We ran towards her but she turned around yelling "No one can get in the way of my happiness," and a large explosion came out of no wheres. Sebastian pushed me out of the way saying "Young Master!" I said "Go capture her now!" Sebastian replied "Yes my lord," and we both started following her.
"I've been dying to see you!" a man with long scarlet hair. Wait I've seen that red before, it reminds me of Madam Red! I said "Who is this?" and Sebastian explained "It's a grim reaper who takes the dying souls of humans, he's probably doing that right now," The reaper said "Actually I'm only scheduled to only one soul which is Madam Turner who will burn herself at five after midnight,"
I sighed and ran around them yelling behind me "I don't have time for this!" I stopped at Big Ben and saw smoke coming from the top and also I saw the sparks falling from the top. I ran into the building and went up the many stairs. Some explosions slowed me down but I didn't stop until I reached the top to find Turner dropping the dust from the balcony.
I said "You are pathetic wallowing in despair and destroying others to make you happy instead of moving forward, your worse than a pig," She said "I despise happy couples that try to come in my way, I'll destroy any man or child who gets in my way!"
I dodged the first explosion leaning against the wall. Without warning another happened and my eye patch fell off. I said "Sebastian how long do you plan on messing around, save me!" Turner said "Oh talking to yourself isn't going to help honey,"
I pointed my gun at her and said "You are pathetic not even worthy of being called a pig!" She said "Did you just call me a pig?!" I laughed and pulled the trigger but before the bullet came out Sebastian pulled me back and another explosion came out of no wheres.
She was just about to ignite another but Sebastian kicked the camera and took it for himself. Miss Turner soon burst into flames screaming and laughing. I sighed and said "Let's go Sebastian no need to do anymore," We walked through the streets and Sebastian said "You told me to capture her but," I cut him off saying "This is good enough we'll just tell the queen what happened and she'll understand, besides she doesn't want any more people getting hurt so she won't mind,"
Sebastian slipped my night shirt on me and laid down next to me. I said "I'm sure your glad for me to have my memory back," He chuckled and said "And I don't plan on letting you lose it again," He gave me a peck on the cheek and embraced me until I fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ciel's POV:
Today we would pay be boarding a train towards the Trancy estate for business and maybe a little pay back in my opinion. The servants were packing my stuff as I just stood looking out the window. Finny said "That's it Ciel, we got all you need for the trip!" I sighed and said "Ok thank you, you guys are dismissed," I smiled remembering that it would only be Sebastian and I but we are going to be on a train and all that stuff so it will be limited.
We were now on the train just sitting in the small room in silence. I looked out the window and realized we were stopping. I said "Are we taking another stop?" Sebastian nodded and it soon became silent again. If this is the whole ride then I might as well jump off the train just for excitement, but that would be spoiled for one thing.
The silence was interrupted when on the overcome a voice said "We will be arriving soon so please get your stuff ready and thank you for joining us," I sighed and said "Onto train number two," Sebastian and I boarded the next train and sat in the seats. Sebastian but a grin on his face and said "On this very train a criminal is being transported,"
Maybe this guy can be some help, not that I want people hurt it's just kind of quite the whole ride. Sebastian sat next to me and said "I can tell your restless, if you want I can entertain you," Sebastian leaned in tracing my figure. I smiled and said "We are in public let's limit it, that means I'd like both of us to keep our clothes on," Sebastian chuckled and leaned in kissing me first on my cheek.
"Sebastian that is enough I think something is wrong, on the train that is!" I said. Sebastian released me from his grip and said "Sorry my lord, what do you worry for?" Right when he said those single words there was a banging on the door. Sebastian walked to the door reaching for his forks and knifes and they would be needed for this situation.
The terrorist stood at the door and said "I want to see all people who are in here," I walked to Sebastian's side and said "Is this who you spoke of?" Sebastian said "Yes this is the man supposed to be captive but I guess decided to come out to play," I said "Well what should we do,"
The man said "Well while your friend ponders about that I'll take you, being you're an earl you'd get me big money!" I was grabbed by my arm and pulled away from Sebastian only for seconds. I yelled "Sebastian! Save me now!" A gun was put to my neck pressing against my skin so no hand could catch the bullet.
Sebastian's POV:
My eyes widened when Ciel was grabbed and pulled from my side with a gun pointed at him. I grabbed the man from running and said "I'm sorry sir but I can't let anyone touch my property in such ways get away without punishment," His eyes widened and said "I'll shot him!" the gun now touching his skin where I couldn't catch the bullet.
I went behind them grabbing the man by the neck pointing a knife to him and said "I don't like people who try to hurt my master and you've just become a problem," I threw him to the wall and said "Will we have any problems here?" He shook his head and had his eyes squinted for mercy.
Ciel's POV:
I said "Well not what I expect, such a wimp just turn him in and lets be on our way now," Sebastian dropped him in front of the police and they all seemed surprised. But before exiting the room the terrorist said "When the train stops we will all be dead," I stopped and said "What exactly do you mean by that?" A psychotic laugh filled the room and he said "There is one tiny bomb in this large train, I won't tell you where it is but you have until those breaks are pulled and then-"
"SEBASTIAN!" I yelled "Would you go defuse the bomb, I'll be in the room and don't fail or else," I walked away hearing the same laugh come from the strange criminal. I sat in the room and sighed "What shall I do the rest of the way?" I exclaimed but with that a hand covered my only way to breath and I fell unconscious.
Sebastian's POV:
I had now found the bomb but wasn't sure how to stop it. But I couldn't do anything else when I could sense through our contract that Ciel had become in trouble. I threw the roof off the train recklessly and in a hurry I started for the seats. I pushed open the door to find Ciel on the ground dripping with blood still alive but hurt badly. What had done this I should've known if he was in trouble? I picked Ciel up and said "Will this be the end of our contract?"
There was no medical kit in the room or anything that could help. "Damn what kind of place is this; they do take precaution don't they!" I froze when I felt a gentle shaking hand touch my neck. I looked down to see Ciel with a forced smile on his face and he had become much paler. I ran into the hall and yelled "Is there anyone who could help he has been hurt traumatically!"
A crowd rushed over and luckily a couple people had first aid kits with them. As I worked healing the wound in his neck the crowd was kneeling over my shoulder, could it get any worse? I finished wrapping his neck in bandage and helped him back into the room. Ciel was still either asleep or unconscious, he may be adorable when he is asleep but what will happen when he wakes up. I wasn't there for him and now he has been hurt.
"Sebastian there is no need to worry I'm sure you couldn't have handled with the person anyways," I said "Who could I not beat in anything, for you at that?" Ciel chuckled and said "Well the man who was in the room we had already met, the leader of demons he did this," I said "WHY! Do you know why?" I shrugged and said "The same reason as before we got a warning that's why, by the way the bomb, we don't want to explode," Sebastian said "I got it before this happened,"
We have now exited the train and were headed for the Trancy estate. Sebastian carried me because of the injury, even though it was on the neck! The sun was beginning to set on the day and I was beginning to become tired, great we're staying the night there, this must be a nightmare! Sebastian set me down and knocked on the door. Alois opened the door and a grin spread on his face. "Hello Phantomhive welcome to my manor, I hope you'll enjoy your stay,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ciel's POV:
I lay in bed not wanting to move one muscle, maybe I was just tired but I sure felt out of it today. Sebastian was opening the curtains and he said " Come on Ciel the dance is tonight, most of your friends will be there along with some family and servants," I sat up and said " What friends, I don't have friends and I'm doomed to hell," Sebastian said " Don't think like that right now, we are the guest so just be kind and courteous,"
The dining table was silent; the butlers seemed to be just standing by each master in silence. How boring this is, I seriously have to stay here another night?! Not long after breakfast some of the guest who would be attending the ball started arriving, Alois went off for some business and Claude was left to deal with the guest while Sebastian and I could do whatever.
Every guest had arrived for the ball that was in about half an hour. Sebastian was helping me into costume; it is a costume ball so that's why I have to be in such strange clothes. Alois still doing his business, which isn't my problem because I don't want to have to deal with him, Alois already tried to kill me once let's keep it at that.
After awhile of talking with friends I got bored and went towards the drinks. I bumped into a maid and she said "Oh my I'm sorry sir, here if you follow me I can wash your coat off," I said "Ok," We walked down the halls that were empty and had not one sound. We ended in a small room and I sat down removing my coat, the girl sat in a chair with a wet cloth. "I truly am sorry just ask me for any favor if needed,"
I found it strange that the girl seemed about the same age as me and was a maid. She handed me the jacket which still had the purple stain. I raised an eyebrow and was about to talk but she stopped me by climbing on the bed and said "Ciel Phantomhive I don't want you to ever leave my sight again," I said "Uh...well actually I'm leaving the manor tomorrow," She said "No you're not that would make my master very unhappy, and me too I would be sad if you left us,"
The maid pinned me to the bed and had a smile on her face leaning in for a kiss. I said "I told you I already have a fiancé!"She smiled and said "I know you don't even want her, I know your little secret with your butler," My eyes widened, how does she know that! The maid leaned in and licked my ear and taking my eye patch off. "Hey!" and the maid ran out the room.
I covered my right eye while running after the maid. "Come back with that! Is this really the way you treat a guest," Well this is the Trancy house so I'm not surprised, the maid was now outside and I followed. What a fool I was, the maid was Alois cross dressing as a female. I admit it was believable, I even fell for it. "Ciel I now have you in the palm of my hand, will you give up or give a fight?"
"The thing is Ciel if you refuse I have a machine that will kill everyone in that ballroom," Alois said while all of his servants joined him. Sebastian also came to my side and said "Orders young master?" I said "Sebastian protect me and don't let them get to me," Claude said "And your orders your highness?" Alois said "I want Ciel get him for me no matter what,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh where did the young master and Sebastian go?" Mey-rin said. Bard said "Oh don't worry about them, we shouldn't bother them except if truly needed. I'm sure they're fine Mey." The ballroom is filled with many friends of The Phantomhive's along with dearly loved ones all in costumes not suspecting a thing. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the party as if no danger was near, but they didn't know what will happen. All of the Trancey servants are serving the guest with first class hospitality even though in the end they think they might have to kill all of them, everything in this room depends on Ciel Phantomhive's actions along with his butlers, but the guest don't know a thing. "I say, what is that thing? It is very big yes it is!" Mey-rin exclaims pointing at the large instrument the Trancey Maid pushed in. She has silver like hair and has the common purple maid outfit you'd expect a maid to be in. Hannah, the maid, is more than that though. Trancey has many servants that seem to all be demons. How will he repay all those demons? "I say that is a very strange thing she's pushing in what can it do?" Bard said remarking at the same object. In the background Prince Soma says "Oh what a lovely party and look I think the lovely young maid is about to put on a show!"
The maid known as Hannah sat down in silence placing her fingers carefully upon the strange mystery object that sat in the middle of the room. Soon she moved her fingers gently making a horrid glass like sound. In the ears of the humans in the room it seemed like a simple melody. But the melody had a meaning, one person after another soon felt pain then couldn't control a thing. This song seemed to posses the guest as Hannah who just played as if nothing was happening. The people couldn't control their own body and started attacking each other without control of what would happen, what a horror.
Ciel's POV:
The butler now fight to the death determines who will get the other master while the two children are left on the hill. I said "Your butler will not beat mine and you will die tonight Alois." Alois taunted "Don't plan on it Ciel you will become mine and then your death will become for you." We couldn't do anything to each other without a weapon so we just stood there watching each other like a hawk making sure the other didn't make a move. What I didn't know is in the ballroom every person he knows and loves is attacking each other against their own will.
Sebastian comes back but not Claude to my surprise, I thought both of them would come back. He comes to my side and says "Come on lets go stop the performance in there." Alois says "Where is Claude?" Sebastian replies "Oh him...yeah don't worry he's still alive probably just a bit slow." I chuckled and we both headed for the estate. "Young master cover your ears." Sebastian said right as a paining sound filled the air. I covered my ears clinging to Sebastian as the sound could still be heard through my hands. Sebastian set me down and I realized we were in the manor but the sound seemed even louder. "Stay here and don't come into the ballroom until the sound stops, okay?" Sebastian says. I say "Okay." and watch him walk away.
Once I was sure the sound has disappeared I walked into the ballroom to find many people clapping and Alois's maid being dragged away unconscious, I obviously missed something. I walked over to Sebastian and just hang around the party expecting Alois to walk in any minute. Right then Alois and Claus come in the room and the many guests surround him glad he was here; they don't even know that the act was meant to harm every person here. I growl to Sebastian "Finish it with them and I want Claude dead when you come back." Sebastian says "Yes my lord." as Alois orders Claude a similar order as Claude says "Yes your highness."
I sit there waiting for what seemed like forever until I see Sebastian coming in causing a devilish smile to go on my face which quickly disappears as Claude comes out as well. When Sebastian walks over to me I ask "Sebastian why isn't he dead that was an order, are you attempting to break the contract?" Sebastian replies "No young lord I made a deal with him and once this deal is over I plan on killing him, don't worry I will be the one to end his life." Sighing I say "Ok lets go I am tired." All of the guests have already left leaving only Sebastian and I and the Trancey residence. I glare over at Alois before walking out of the manor with Sebastian.
When we arrived at the manor it was already three in the morning and I was more than exhausted if I even lay down for a second I would fall asleep. Before retiring Sebastian helped me take a warm bath and helped me into night clothes. Laying down my eyes could barely stay open as Sebastian laid beside me planting a small kiss on my forehead making me hungry for more. Before I could even react to the kiss I fell asleep exhausted from the long day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alois' POV:
I walk into the main room and say to Hannah "Hannah! I'd like to give Ciel a visit drive me." She says "Of course your highness." and walks out to the carriage as I follow not far behind. Sitting in the carriage seat I think of the past times with Luka and I. How horrid that time was especially after words when I was forced into many things I didn't want to do and things I don't want to think of. Sebastian killed Luka at Ciel's order and because of this they both must suffer, they killed my only loving family. Sighing I look out the window and watch the trees go by, surprised when I see a flash of red run at the speed of light right past the carriage. It's probably nothing. I gasp when the carriage swerves out of control and hits a large tree.
I peak out of the carriage and find Hannah fighting with a man dressed in all red and had very... woman like looks. As quietly as possible I crawl away into the forest desperately wanting Claude to be here. Sitting against the roots of an oak tree I look over to see a wolf walking over to me with the look of danger and hunger. I flinch as the wolf quickly swipes its claws at me scratching me across my face causing me to bleed. Suddenly I see Claude walking up to me with a smirk on his face as he kneels in front of me. I manage to say "C-Claude s-save me." With a smirk on his face he touches the scratch licking the small drop of blood on his finger shaking his head. I'm shocked when Claude takes me by the neck saying "I think your soul with be useful." A cry of pain escapes my lips as my neck is snapped ending my miserable life, able to join my brother.
Grell comes over to the area and says "So you killed the rat? I guess that means one less job and the closer I get to seeing my Bassy!" Claude takes the ring from the young boy's finger and stuffs it in his pocket. "Yes he is for sure gone for good, you won't have to worry about his shenanigans and you won't have to rid of him, I will be on my way now."
Ciel's POV:
Sebastian enters my study and hands me a letter that is from the queen, opening it I look over it reading it. "That's repulsive, gorging children's eyes that I can't even imagine the feeling. I guess that's another trip to London?" Sebastian says "I guess so when will you be ready?" Sighing I say "Whenever really, we can go anytime as long as it's today." Sebastian gives me a small kiss and says "Let's hurry up and go so we can get back and have some fun." Smiling I stand up from my desk and follow him to the carriage
When I arrive at the village in London we go to one of the victim's home and talk to the parent and child asking about the incident. Sebastian asked "Do you have any clue what the child looked like? If so could you please describe what he or she was like?" The little kid said "Well he was dressed in fancy noble man like clothes and I think he had blue eyes and blond hair." The kid almost sounded like he was describing Alois how strange. I said "Thank you for your help I think we got what we needed." Sebastian and I walked out and he asks "Did you conclude anything?" I reply "I think the description sounded like Alois which is why I let them go. Sebastian says "But how do we know it truly Alois?" Shrugging I say "It's a onetime shot we'll see what happens."
I took out a map and say "Look at this he mocks me," I trace each marking of the attacks to make a spiders web, he must still be alive. "He survived. Each place of the attacks trace out to be a spiders web, he's mocking me." Suddenly there was a large explosion blowing the wind out of me as Sebastian grabs me dodging it making sure I don't get hurt. Through a growl I say "Alois." Sebastian says "No, I don't believe this is him...it is," He sets me down and says "Stay here don't move from here at all cost, just trust me." With a sigh I curl up at the corner of the box where Sebastian has set me and wait for him to return, what is this if not Alois and the Trancy estate.
Suddenly I'm put in a state of shock when the box opens and Hannah is standing over me with a smirk and soon two men from Scotland Yard join her. "This is him, my master Alois. I'm sorry for his recent doings. You see his father always tortured him and it soon got to him making his lose his sanity." In confusion I say "What are you talking about I am Ciel Phantomhive, the head of the Phantomhive estate! Sebastian!" One of the police questions "He seems pretty confused are you sure this is him?" She nods and says "This is Alois Trancy I am sure of it, his eye is proof of it. You can check if you want, this is the evidence." They throw my eye patch to the floor to reveal the contract seal glowing just barely brighter then surroundings. I say "NO, this is a sign of the-"
I stopped there as they pulled me away pushing me into the carriage driving from the scene with only one trace that I was gone, my eye patch. There is no way for me to cry for help now or even give a sign that I was stolen away by Hannah. Soon we arrived at a small building where I was forced into a room where five investigators questioned me. "Why don't you start by telling me your name?" With a huff I say "Ciel Phantomhive. Really, treating a noble like this? Have you the proper permission?" He lets out a sigh turning his head from me showing disappointment; with a growl I spat "The Queen! Contact the queen! Yes or even sir Arthur. All I've said can be easily-" He punched me in the gut causing me to fall in pain soon losing my senses. All I could tell was they were now talking, what will they do to me now?
They tied me to the chair above the pool of the liquid green substance, my eyes bulged and I yelled "What are you doing to me! Let me go please!" Out of the blue the chair fell from it's spot and into the pool causing me to cough and gag for air. It rose back from it's spot and I gasped for air and shaking now freezing cold. I stuttered "S-Sebast-tian." One of the nurse giggled turning her head to the side with her hand to her mouth, does she think I'm cute REALLY! The chair fell again causing me to get drenched in the substance once again. Everything is receding...Everything is...
Sebastian's POV:
I jumped atop the building to find a pile of men and women dead with golden knifes punctured in their head creating a large pile of blood. Scowling as I dodge a sudden amount of gun shots all aimed for me joined with Hannah saying as they stopped " I apologize for not sending someone to fetch you, Sebastian." With a smirk I say "No need. Your invitation was easy enough to understand. This is the exact center of the web with the attacks you made." She shot at me once again and I dodged each bullet swiftly in the air.
Ciel's POV:
"I-I am... Ciel...Phantomhive. The Queen's...the Queen's...guard dog. I lost...my father and mother." I stuttered holding onto the cloth around me, shaking uncontrollably. Claude asked "How did you lose them?" I reply "The mansion burned." Claude says "Yes it burned, the village burned." I say refusing "I ran down the corridor..." He fought back "Yes, you ran down the path on the outskirts of the village." My sight would blur as I spoke and I would shake still clinging to the small blanket around my shoulders. He took my hand placing the ring on my finger, Alois' ring...no or is it mine? All my thoughts are clouding away and I can't keep my mind straight on what's right or wrong, what's true and what's lies or what is love and hate. "You ran and then you found," He said laying my hand on the chair shoulder, I raise the hand to observe the ring in confusion. "I ran and then I found my dead mom and dad." He says "You ran to find your dead brother and then?"
Brother? I say telling all my past "They took me away," Claude says "The old man took you away and..." I say remember the different past that now is in my mind "He humiliated me." He says "The earl Trancy did." I gasp all my past memories were now beaten by a new different past and a different reason for revenge against...Sebastian. "Tran...cy" A devious grin forms on Claude's face as he says "Yes." I say "I made a contract with Sebastian." and Claude replies "Someone made a contract with Sebastian, he started the fire." I question "A fire," and Claude says "Yes. Sebastian made a contract with your younger brother Luka, and burned your village to the ground, killing your only living relative." Suddenly there was a great pain in my right eye where the contract mark laid, I clutched at my mark screaming in pain, losing everything.
Sebastian's POV:
Right as Hannah ran out of bullets I jumped in front of her punching her in the gut causing her to gasp in pain and fall in my arms. "The sheath that holds a demon's sword, why serve Claude?" I say feeling where the sword laid within her. She simply replies "Claude..." not answering my question. I grasp her by the neck holding her in the air and say "We have a contract, even if he is stolen from me he will still belong to me. None of you will even be able to taste his soul as long as he is my young master." Hannah stutters "Navy...and...Midnight blue...Two very similar memories. True, none of us will be able to taste his soul, while he is still entirely your young master." My eyes widen in shock I couldn't believe they were doing this to him. I dropped Hannah hearing her laugh from behind and ran for Ciel; I have to get him back.
Ciel's POV:
I fall to the floor in pain not making another sound feeling hopeless and useless; my whole body felt like giving up as every good and bad memory was burned and replaced. The door bursts open suddenly and Sebastian's voice, no, the murders voice says in surprise "Young master!" When he reaches for me I turn around scouting away and scream "Don't touch me! You killed them, you killed my parents. Sebastian Michaelis!" A look of hurt and shock was on his face as he says "Young Master?" He looks back towards Claude, stands up, and says with amusement in his voice "I didn't expect you to merge their memories, clever I admit it. A ploy that would cloud the taste would never occur to me. He soaked through; did you dip him in medication to confuse him?" Claude takes a step forward and asks me "Should I answer that, master?" I stand up wobbling from side to side struggling and say "No need." He walks over to me and whispers "He is still in your control; you can order him to do anything." I reply " I know that. Sebastian, I order you to get out of my sight!" He backs away slowly with a look almost as if I had shot him, how pathetic. Claude says "To a butler, the master's order is absolute." He bows with his hand on his chest, and without a word he leaves me with my...true butler. As he left I fell into his arms and say "I...I'm tired. I need some sleep." Claude replies "Yes your highness." as I fall asleep in his arms, in the spider web.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ciel's POV:
I wonder what has gone through my head and why I believe Sebastian is the killer of my parents, I mean we had such good times so why does this sudden shock change everything. Sitting in my bed I'm looking at the ceiling almost tearing up at the thought of Sebastian; did he really kill my parents, why did he do it he was the one who said he loved me! Now scowling at nothing I wipe away the tears from my eyes and sit up heading for my restroom, that bastard why does he have to play my feelings in such a way now I'm stuck at the Trancy manor. But the strange thing is I haven't seen sight of him since the day I stabbed him, could the blow possibly caused this much harm to him that he refuses to show. Or maybe I killed him but it just seems so unlikely that I killed him, I'm sure Claude could patch him up easily stopping the eternal bleeding so he should be fine. Unless he just happened to get stuck in some sort of tragic situation where he got killed somehow, after washing my face and clearing my mind I walk back to my bed sitting down staring at my legs trying to keep myself intact, why does he have to play with my feelings so much does he not care for me? Stupid Butler.
After that I fell asleep again and wake up to the sight of Claude at my bed side, sitting up I say "Is that earl grey I smell?" Claude replies "Why yes it is, I thought it would suit you," he has clothes in hand and a tray on the night stand beside the bed. Remembering when I woke up in the middle of the night I ask "Claude, where might Alois be he is still alive right?" Claude says "No he isn't for the sword that belongs to you and the blow you gave brought him down." I smirk and once he has untied my shirt I stand up so he can put on the rest of my clothes. It feels so wrong to let anyone other than Sebastian see or touch me but Claude is my new butler and since he is my butler he will most likely see me every day. How long will this last how long will I be in this manor as a guest, how long will I be apart from Sebastian. No, I can't want to go back to him he is the murder of my parents he is the main part of my revenge from here on, and I'm sure the only way for me to get revenge on a demon is with a demon by your side. I sit back down when he slides the socks on my legs and slips shoes on my feet.
I'm surprised when I hear a large crash come from outside, is it Sebastian, I may have ordered him out of my sight but if I can't see him he could be anywhere. I ask "What was that it isn't him is it?" Claude lies "No I doubt it it's probably just a cat." I reply "Very funny I don't think a cat could be so loud, make the protection around here stronger make sure I don't see Sebastian at all cost." Kissing my foot he says "Yes young master," disgusted I kick him and say "Don't touch me that is repulsive." I say it's disgusting yet I let my old butler Sebastian touch me in ways someone's lover only would, but we were lovers in our own worlds until stuff happened and I learned the truth. I stand up walking over to the window looking out but not seeing anyone, how strange I wonder what made the noise. I'm positive it's all just Sebastian, why would he even come back for me he has no use for me unless his true goal is still my soul. "Hannah please watch and protect the young lord," Claude says before leaving the room.
Sebastian's POV:
I can't just sit here or else Claude will get to Ciel no matter if it's just making a contract with him, he can over write our current contract and then I wouldn't get his soul or even have him by my side ever again. Truly he doesn't want me near him now because he was tricked to believe that I murdered his parents and started the fire, but I didn't the fallen angel did why can't you see that. I narrow my eyes when Claude comes out and our eyes meet, that bastard is the one who stole my Ciel and I will be the one to get him back. A yellow bird lands on Claude's finger and he starts to talk to the thing walking over to a flower bush which is covered in pink flowers. "Wouldn't this flower be wonderful for the young master I think it fits him, yes it fits my young master." He smirks before walking away with the bird still on his finger and the flower in hand, not saying a word.
The sound of clicking catches my attention and I hear the hushed voice of Grell, when did he get here? No matter he could help me so I can't be to rude, but truly I don't think I would have to because Grell is so attached to me. Walking his way I pick up the statue he is behind and Grell says in shock "Oh Sebastian when did you get here?" Smirking I say "I was going to ask you the same question." Grell nervously laughs and says "Maybe just one more, oh what a wonderful pose... Ah!" I smash the statue on top of him.
After making Grell the tea to per-suave him I got him to talk some about Alois, apparently Claude killed him so that he could use his soul to confuse Ciel's mind. "The town Alois lived in burned to nothing but maybe there would be something there that could help us." Grell says shrugging. "If you think there might be something there then show me the way, I'd be in your debt." This causes Grell to squeal and say "Anything for my Bassy!" Rolling my eyes I follow Grell until we reach what just seemed like a pile of rubble, except there was the scent of one lingering human in the air, I thought everyone died. Right then I spotted a lady who was sitting on steps that lead to a pile of more rubble. She says "Well hello there boys are you looking to have some fun? Ha, just kidding I don't think I could handle that anymore, well anyways welcome to the cursed village of Arachnophile." I say "I thought this town burned with no survivors, why only you?" She replies "Well me, I was the only one who was saved. By a demon." My eyes narrow, so it was the work of another demon. She continues "It was like any other day when I saw a kid being bullied so I went and shooed the kids away and helped the little boy out. He started talking about his brother and being brave, then he started talking about what seemed like just another fairy tale. Contracts, demons, fulfilling wishes none of it made any sense until the next day. The whole town was burning down and I was the only one who survived just like he said I would be."
Before she can say another word she is suddenly shot by a bullet and falls blood leaking from her head, Grell and I look behind us and find three demons with guns. These demons belong to the Trancy estate so it figures that they are here, Claude wants me long gone...dead. Scowling I say "I am sorry but I won't die any time soon." Running their way I take out some knives and forks, when they throw their weapons at me I dodge each time not getting hit once. After a bit more of fighting with the triplets I take out a thread and hang them all together dangling from a tree, "Grell could you finish them with your scythe?" I ask looking his way. Grell replies "Oh you can finish them yourself Bassy can't you." Sighing I say standing from my knees "Oh what a hot day it is," Brushing my hand through my hair I hear Grell squealing in the background and the sudden start of his chainsaw scythe, he is too easy to manipulate. The record starts play and the first thing that appears is a burning town and them up a hill watching it all. It suddenly changes to a scene I'm not pleased with at all, Ciel is with Hannah in a field holding her hand in a field. That demon is as good as dead getting anywhere near my Ciel. "Well that is surprising... Sebastian. You're demining Sebby you're demining!" I reply cruelly "That's fine, just fine."
Ciel's POV earlier in the day:
I'm walking through the field with my walking stick and the only thoughts going through my mind is me trying to sort through how Sebastian is the murder, it just doesn't make since. When he comes to mind I can't help but blush, why did I let him do such things to me when all he really wants in the end is to suck the life from my body. This little act of his is all over now that I know the truth and I don't think I could ever trust him again after what he did. I notice the blush rising to my cheeks causing me to get angry and slash my walking stick at the nearest flower bush. Why Sebastian why, suddenly the stick hits a person causing me to jump when I hear a female whimper then Hannah says "T-thank you young master, if it pleases you to thrash me then go ahead and thrash me all you want." I mutter "Is everyone here crazy," and now towards her I offer my hand and say "Well are you just going to sit there all day?"
~~~~Time Skip~~~~~
"NO!" I yell throwing the vase where I thought Alois mockingly stood staring straight back at me, both Hannah and Claude run into the restroom and Claude says "Are you alright young master, are you hurt or anything?" I simply reply "I am fine, it's just I thought I saw Alois in the mirror but I guess I was wrong," Claude says "Hannah clean this up and I'll take the young master to retire." I interrupt "No Claude you clean this up and Hannah come with me." She nods and comes to my side leaving Claude confused. When I'm sitting in bed Hannah is at the side of the bed kneeling to my level giving me an apologetic expression. "I'm tired of this manor I just want to go back to my old one but I can't with Sebastian there, why did he deceive me I... I trusted him?" She places her hand on my cheek and says "You can trust me Ciel I am here to help and protect you, now I want to show you something just watch my mouth." Confused I do as she says and right then her mouth opens inhumanly wide to reveal a gaping pit and in there is what seems to be my eye. Pain erupts in the back of my head causing me to scream clutching at my head. After minutes of the torturous pain it soon turns to a numb feeling and I fall back into the bed falling into unconscious.
Sebastian's POV
Right when Claude comes out he says "I expected you to be observing from afar but I guess you decided to risk it and come closer." I reply with a smirk "As long as the young master doesn't see me I am still following orders, and as of right now he doesn't see me so I am perfectly fine." falling from where I stand to land in front of the other demon. I continue "Our little contract we made in between us has been terminated as you would know." Claude replies "It's not like a demon to give up on a contract," I say "I wasn't the one who broke the contract first." Claude smirks saying "You're right my flower has been infested." Throwing up the rose slightly right when it is in line with the other demon I kick him and the rose as the rose petals break into pieces. Claude gets up again and as he dose he takes his rose from his breast pocket and says "What a shame that both sides of the contract were terminated," as he says this the flower disintegrates and he drops the stem and continues "At this I am determined to eat his soul, not just sample this amazing taste you speak of though all of it. As a demon you live forever and your life soon grows dull but the young master is a sudden spark of interest and now we have many demons fighting over it."
"Sebastian!" I'm surprised as we stop fighting as I hear Ciel's sudden call to me off in the distance. He repeats "Sebastian, save me Sebastian." Claude grins and says "Oh my Sebastian you aren't worth the title of his butler you've been seen by him; he is calling for you which means he's noticed you." Ciel calls again "Sebastian I'll climb and climb Sebastian save me!" That isn't Ciel I know it I hear Alois in his voice, somehow Alois has taken over Ciel's body. "No I haven't just yet that isn't my young master." I say, Claude continues the sentence "You are right that is," Hannah says from behind us "That is my young master Alois." I could hear the grin in her voice as I look in horror as Alois threatens "I'll jump Sebastian save me!" Whatever shall I do, I refuse to lose my one and only love Ciel Phantomhive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 10: [Ciel's POV]
"What is going on, where am I?" When I wake up all I see is blackness except a small platform that I am laying on. Sitting up I rub at my head in confusion until I remember last night's events and mutter "Damn demon," So what am I dead is this it or what is going on; I can't possibly be dead Sebastian would save me from death no matter what the costs. Or would he; he believes I hate him because I'm sure he is the one who really killed my parents but now... I'm not sure anymore. All my memories seem jumbled up in a mess and it's all so confusing, did Sebastian really do it; it just seems impossible. When I try to sort through my thoughts neither of the possible truths seem correct perfectly; why would Sebastian help me when the target all along was he. Maybe it was all for my soul but why would he be the one to accidentally show his true feelings to me unless it was part of it all. I truly wouldn't mind if I was dead it would make things a whole lot simpler, all I want to do is to be left alone so I don't have to think about any of this. Why was I dragged into any of this; why did I have to want revenge, why did I have to fall for him, why couldn't he have ate my soul then and there if he did this none of this would've happened. But maybe if I fight back I can regain my soul and order him to do what he should've done long ago; I'll order him to take my soul it's what he wanted long ago and it's still a craving he has and I'm well aware of that.
[Hannah's POV]
I watch Alois with a worried expression; he doesn't realize if it was up to me I'd give him all the love he wants but I can't do that anymore it seems impossible. He keeps everyone at a distance except Claude who doesn't really seem to care for him much anymore. Ever since Phantomhive came into the picture it was only about him; every demon wants his soul and his alone. I don't want it in the end; I want to be happy I'd like to just have a pleasant normal family and I wish both Claude and Alois could be part of it. I watch the two butlers working there ways through the maze causing me to frown, it never had to be this way in the end if Claude could've just been happy with what he had in the first place. He doesn't know what true treasure he had but he wasn't pleased and he had to interfere with other people. I look over to Alois to see him scratching at the Phantomhive's body while laughing in a psychotic tone I say in a worried tone "Alois please don't do that it will not only hurt him it will hurt you too." He says in an annoyed tone "So you're worried about that Phantomhive boy, am I not enough for you or anyone else?" I reply "No I am not worried for Phantomhive I'm worried for you, I could show you what real love is like Alois, I want to show you what it's like to have a true family but... we don't have any time on our hands. The day is coming to its end, the game is coming to its climax and the winner will be announced. But I wish I could show you real love Alois."
Suddenly Alois starts to struggle in pain and I quickly go by his side and say "Master?" But instead of Alois answering me it was Ciel, the boy who has lived through it all. He looks over to me and shrugs my support away walking over and looks over the maze. "Why is he still fighting for me, am I really anything to him anymore? He should've finished all than when he deserved my soul. I don't care about the rest anymore," I am watching him with fascination as he is saying this until he walks away but as he does Alois seems to try and take control once again but fails. "Young Master!" I hear Sebastian yell from below and Ciel looks over to him and with tears forming in his eyes he says "Sebastian this is an order... eat my soul!" There is a great silence in between them until I hear a depressed and still shocked tone say "Yes my lord." Phantomhive isn't happy with his life is he? I don't think I'd be if I was being chased after a bunch of blood thirsty demons. Ciel suddenly falls and I catch him in a flash but when he opens his eyes it is Alois this is such a confusing state. "Hannah I want to make a deal with you; I want them both to suffer for what they did," With a sympathetic smile I bring him into the clock tower and put him on his feet. "What would your deal be young master, I am at your will give me your request?" "I want neither of them to get Ciel," Alois says and I assume "Does that mean murder?" He quickly replies "No not that I want..."
[Sebastian's POV]
"Has it really come to this, I guess we must work together to achieve the young master." I say with an un-pleased smirk; I am still unhappy with the most recent order from Ciel but if it's what he wants then I'll give it to him. "Yes we better get a move on." Claude says and at that we run straight towards the door and bust it open. We start running for the tower cutting the vines that attempt to grab at us with the silverware. How I hate having to alley with Claude but I guess it's come to this point where it is necessary, in the end I will get Ciel for myself even if it is only his soul. We soon reach the top and we run into the tower where the scene reveals Ciel and Hannah standing there; both rings that represent their souls... drained. "Claude all I wanted was true love and you didn't seem to want that you were un-pleased with me; all you wanted was something that didn't belong to you. I wish you could've been more but you were just blind and didn't see you had something better than you realized." Alois has tears escaping his eyes as he fell into Hannah's arms. Hannah faces us and says "The contract is complete; I have formed a contract with Jim Macken and Ciel Phantomhive along with him."
[Hannah's POV]
"My master has took over Ciel Phantomhive's body and now he nothing but a helpless soul that won't see the light of day until the contract between Alois and I has been fulfilled once that is done he will come back." I say holding the unconscious Ciel Phantomhive in my arms and the two butlers standing in front of me. "What are the terms of the contract?" Sebastian asks with glowing demonic eyes causing me to chuckle and say "That is a secret between my master and I but I will give you this; he doesn't want both of you to survive. You will battle to the death and once there is a victor Alois has agreed to let his soul go and after that," Claude asks "And what keeps us from killing you?" Smirking I reply "I am suffused in the deepest blue and your precious Ciel will come back to life." We travel down the tower out into the city of London until we reach the water side where a small boat waits for us where I gently set Ciel's body on the boat sitting beside him and the two demon butlers stand at the end and start rowing the boat towards the sea where we would travel until we reach the island of death. "This island is a sanctuary for demons and it seems Sebastian you left if in a rather pitiful state; you should learn to control your temper." Claude says towards Sebastian who ignores him and asks "You brought us for a reason now what might it be?" I reply kneeling beside Ciel "This is an ideal place for a dual between demons; you two will fight demon against demon until there is only one."
[Ciel's POV]
"This is ridiculous a battle between demon butlers," I say, sitting back to back with Alois Trancy inside the pit of my body that is sealed. "Yes it is amusing to see two grown men acting like desperate children." I ask "Then what happens?" There is moment of silence before Alois answers "Then my wishes become true and once they do I will die for real, Hannah will eat my soul. After that I will return this body to you!" I smirk and say "Return this body to me huh." Alois says "I did a terrible thing to you Ciel, both Sebastian and Claude love you and I wanted to punish you for living such a blessed life." I let out a chuckle and say "Really love, I don't think that is true anymore it may have been once in a different life but now I don't think there is anything there. I pity Sebastian as he doesn't know that in the end he will get nothing he is fighting for nothing more than a dead person."
[Sebastian's POV]
Taking off my glove I look over to Hannah who is forced onto Claude's lap so I could remove the sword from her. Reaching into her mouth I reach further down until I feel the sword and I slowly pull it out; just so this bitch knows the pain. When the sword is out Hannah starts choking and tears fight their way out for a moment until she brings herself back together and walks over to me grabbing the sword. "No human weapon is strong enough to fatally wound a demon with that being said this is the only sword that is made to kill a demon. Any soul punctured with this sword has no hope left. Now than let's get this over with." We are now both poised to kill standing about a yard away from each other with Hannah in between us. At the moment her hand goes up it all begins; all I have to do is get the sword and I'll be off to a good start. Running in the opposite direction of Claude I jump up trying to reach the sword but Claude takes out string and grabs the sword pulling it down to him. Scowling I land and right as I do Claude start throwing the sword at me and I dodge each time until I kick him in the shin causing him to drop the sword and I grab it immediately. "The small place like this hinders my ability to move freely but I can change that. Let's open this space up a bit." I stab the sword into the ground and cause the ground to split and the top of the cave to open up. Hannah grabs Ciel saying "Young master we must go," and leaves us a lone to continue fighting. "Damn you Sebastian Michaelis." Claude says causing me to give a sly grin before we both go running for each other and I aim the sword for him but he kicks it out of my hand and it goes all the way into a pit.
"The demon sword!" I say and Claude says "Phantomhives soul!" Smirking we say in unison "I will have them both." Grabbing the sword I try and take it but Claude grabs the other end with a devious smile; his eyes change along with mine as we both try to take it over. I end up with the sword and with a devious grin I aim it for him and as if a miracle Claude slips on a rock which he slips off as it breaks causing him to fall and I stab him in the chest with the demon sword. I won. I have my eyes closed as I am breathing hard from the battle and a slight smile is across my face. "It is all over," I say opening my eyes again and see Claude is there frozen with a look of pain plastered on his face. "The battle is over as it was a good one; I just wish I would've gotten one taste of the young master's soul. The young master's soul... it smelled so good," Claude says in a bland tone. Smirking I say "No you are wrong, you have only desired the soul of Alois Trancy's, can't you see you've been under his control the whole entire time." Claude says "Alois Trancy, was it?" He coughs up blood and after that says "My spectacles," Raising an eyebrow I ask "What?" He replies "I have a spare in my breast pocket." Ah now I understand he wants them, grabbing the pair I ask "Do you have any last words before the end?" He takes in a deep breath and says "Yes; day into night, sugar into salt, living to dead, and sliver into gold, passion into insincerity, lies into truth, and a stray dog into an earl. That's what makes," Before he could finish his sentence his heart stops and his life ends. "Yes but who's butler were you in the end?" Sighing I stand up and start heading back for the young master, and eat his soul as ordered.
[Ciel's POV]
"No Claude!" Alois yells suddenly which gives away the truth of what has happened in the time being; Claude has lost and Sebastian has one. "Are you satisfied now?" I ask not looking at him; him and his butler are the cause of all of this. And if Sebastian didn't hesitate that day none of this would've happened. "Truly I don't know but as weird as it sounds I don't mind that at all," He evaporates into nothing and so I am free of the cuffs; I stand up and say "So here we are Sebastian the answer is right in front of you, how will you react?"
[Sebastian's POV]
I am standing on top of a cliff and Hannah is at the edge of the cliff holding Ciel and she says "At last master we can be one and happy again." Growing impatient I say "Hannah," She looks over to me and says "The terms of the contract between my master and I has been fulfilled all you have to do is kill me now; but even if you do get him back he is as good as a dead person to you. There is still one thing my master required to complete the contract and that is," the cliff breaks off and she along with Ciel fall down towards the ocean. This can't be what she intended this must be some sort of sick joke; I have to save the young master this can't happen! I jump of the edge and look for them but all I see is the ocean they must already be underwater. Diving in I see Ciel not far away sinking further and further into the deep water. Even I can't fulfill his final wish at this point; this is definitely an unexpected turn in the end. It was Trancy who did this in the end wasn't it; he created the contract with Hannah and this was his sick idea to get revenge over it all.
When I reach Ciel I gently grab him pulling him into my arms and look at him waiting for something to happen; he will have to wake up eventually human or not he will. Moments later his eyes open up but instead of their normal deep blue color they are deep velvet red; and so it is true he has become a demon. I swim to the top ignoring the master the whole way and help him into the small boat. "I expected much more than what you did when I opened my eyes; you were much gentler than I expected." Ciel says as I get in the boat myself, looking his way I don't say a thing but get the ores so we can head back for London. For awhile it is complete silence until I say "I'm sorry I let any of this happen Ciel I wish we could've avoided it all, I'm sorry I let them get to you." He replies "It wasn't your fault really I'm sure you couldn't have avoided the contract they made, you couldn't change the ending. But understand this; I don't trust you as I did before all of what happened those past years disappeared. If you want me again you're going to have to earn my trust again, Sebastian Michaelis."
