A few days passed rather quickly but I didn't mind; it only made me anticipate the trip even more. Whenever he saw me happy and excited, he would chuckled and kiss my head. The day we left, we waved goodbye to the others as they saw us off on the boat. We waved goodbye and when the boat was far enough from the deck, Sebastian made me tea. I sat silently, taking light sips and for the first time ever, Sebastian was sitting with me having tea too. I stared at him wide eyed in shock. He's never done that before. He looked at me half way through sipping and smiled. His hand reached for my chin.
"What?" He asked. I flustered and shook my head.
"I've never seen you do that before." He chuckled and tapped my nose. I grimaced goofily.
"Do you not like my company?" A beautiful brow lifted.
"Of course I do!" I looked down sadly. "You're the only thing that keeps me sane now." I sighed.
"No." He got up and came over to me, dragging me closer to his face. He stared into my eyes and whispered between us. "I want you to only focus on what's going to happen these next few days. Do I make myself clear?" I brung myself closer to kiss him and blushed when I let go. He stroked my hair. "Good girl." He kissed my forehead and instead of sitting across from me, he brought his chair next to me and sat there. I didn't even notice but Sebastian was actually wearing normal clothes. He was wearing a suit, black of course, but it wasn't his butler uniform. My eyes completely bugged out but he was getting such a kicker out of it. I rolled my eyes and finished my tea.
The weather was utterly beautiful and I sighed to the graceful breeze that brushed against my face. The clouds slowly moved and the air was salty. Ciel would've been happy to see that it's such a nice day. I shook my head in protest. No! I need to stop thinking about him. Even for a little bit! Sebastian had already taken our cups away and he was sitting next to me in a split second.
"I…" I hawed and then got stopped by Sebastian's lips. He let go slowly and rested his forehead against mine.
"You must be tired." He said and got up. I nodded and stood up, letting him take me to a room and rest. He sat next to me as I laid on my back, caressing my cheek.
"I miss him." I know I shouldn't have said that but I just had to. I missed my brother. He was the only family I had and I lost him. I hated that fact and I still didn't want to accept it but my mind always persisted. I was mentally forcing any recollection of Ciel to stay put as if it was in a box with a lock and chained where it could never open again. The problem was I wanted it to open again. I wanted to remember him even though I would never see him again. Even if it caused a hell hole of pain to me and I would be sad forever, I didn't want to forget him. I couldn't. I sighed and looked at Sebastian.
"I know. I'm sorry." He said and kissed me. A tear fell down my cheek and soaked into my pillow. I cried until I fell asleep.
Flames engulfed my whole body. The heat was intense and the smoke blinded me. I was trapped between boards of wood and my ankle was broken in several places. That sickening crack kept replaying in my head and I struggled for an exit. I forced my ankle to take steps and I winced to the broken bone and the pain it gave me while I walked to what seemed like my brother's office. My breathing staggered and I coughed from the lack of fresh air. The roof was caving in and I fell to the ground from my injury.
I crawled towards the room, hoping to find some shelter even if for a little while. When I finally made it, I hid under my brother's desk and a burning block of wood fell right in front of me. I was trapped again…my body was getting weaker and weaker. The whole room was filled with a sea of flames and I was the only one in there. Dying…
"Ciel…" I coughed and closed my eyes, bringing my knees up to me in fright. Where was Ciel? I hope he made it out alright. My ankle throbbed and I heard another crack. I screamed in agony and cried dreadfully. I was afraid. I was going to die…just like Mother and Father. The fire that bathed me stopped all of a sudden and a pair of hands grabbed me gently. I was being carried but I couldn't see who. My eyes were tearing and the smoke was too shaded for me to actually see. Whoever was carrying me, kicked open a door and there was Ciel. Sitting in a chair, burning alive, just like our Father, was my older brother.
I pushed myself off my protector and fell by twisting my ankle again; I didn't care about the pain anymore. I reached for my brother with tear filled eyes and screamed his name to the top of my lungs. The only thing that seemed to have light was the family ring. I slowly inched myself towards my brother's hand and tried to ignore the falling panels and pillars that held fire. When I touched my brother's hand, his blood stained my skin and dripped down to my dress, soaking it. I couldn't see any better from the fresh tears that swallowed my eyes.
I quickly grabbed the ring from his thumb and let my whole body fall to the ground in sadness. My own flesh and blood was dead. The person that held me before took my body again but I protested for him to let me go and I reached for my other half desperately. The person wouldn't let me go and his grip was too firm on my body. I screamed for my brother over and over until his corpse was completely gone from my sight. I was laid down onto the cool grass and my breathing still staggered. I coughed until I was given a cool glass of water. My heart sank in depression from the sudden loss. It was my fault for letting Pluto in. He was provoked by the treats in the kitchen and he argued with the servants, but it was my fault for letting him in. I couldn't hold back anymore. The heat and fire engulfed the whole estate and I was left alone with his shadow to live a life without happiness. I couldn't stop the tears from falling and my voice reached to the sky in despair and misery.
"Ciel!"
