Hours later i woke again, this time feeling better. Feeling something on my hand i opened my eyes and looked. Ciel was asleep holding my hand, his head on the bed. Looking at him i can't help but smile. He looked almost the same, yet 5 years have gone by. I felt glad to be near him again. Bring in this house brought so many memories. Ciel slowly woke and i smiled at him.

"Hi Ciel."

His eyes seemed to smile but his lips only twitched again, not smiling.

"Ciel? Why do you not smile?"

Ciel looked at me and quietly said

"After that day, i was hurt badly for 3 years. I lost my ability to smile from always crying and being sad."

He then looked away from me almost like he was embarrassed. I squeezed his hand.

"I was as well."

He looked up at me. "You? They hurt you?"

I nod and used my handkerchief and wiped the powder from my face and took off my gloves. He looked at me with sad eyes.

"My whole body is like this..."

He touched my eye that was still black and blue. "Did they...?"

I shook my head. "They never did...but it was every where else...they wiped and hit me and put things in me..."

Ciel hugged me lightly and i hugged him back. "Im sorry i was not there to protect you Cece"

i touched his face. "There would not have been anything you could have done."

He looked at me sadly. "If i knew, i could have saved you."

I lowered my head on his shoulder and he hugged me.

"Im glad i have you now Cece."

I nod feeling the same, then he lets go and sits next to me on the bed and holds me like he did when i was little. Suddenly i felt safe again, a feeling i have not had in a long time. A knock came on the door and we both looked up, Ciel answered

"yes?"

"Dinner will be ready soon, Bochan."

It was Ciel's butler who was at the door.

Ciel responded. "Alright, thank you Sebastian."

He then looked at me. "Cece...dare i ask?...when did you get out?"

I was surprised he asked that, looking in his eyes i responded. "It has been about a week..."

He looked down, then almost as quickly his hand was on my right eye and moved my hair that covered my eye, but it was closed.

"Cece...open your eye...please..."

I close my left eye a moment then obliged. Opening both my eyes, he saw my seal. He used his other hand and went to his eye and took his patch off, opening his eye.

I gasped. "You...?"

He nods "yes...three years i was there...they told me my family was all dead and i believed them...everyday my vengeance grew more...i wanted the people who killed our parents to pay an the ones who hurt me to pay."

I close my eyes and go back into his protective arms. "I was told from the beginning...that my family was dead...and if i was not good they would take mum's necklace from me. So i never fought back...i accepted my fate. Then a new man came and hurt me baddly...i wanted them all to pay...revenge for me and for our family..."

He nods holding me close. We had the same feeling about what happened. I wipe my eyes and produce a fake smile.

"Why don't we go for dinner?"

He nods an gets off the bed then helps me off, his arm went around my shoulders and i leaned on him. He was still taller then me but he felt the same to me. When we left the room i saw Thomas standing by the door, i wondered if he heard us talk. As we walked to the dinning hall Thomas followed us. Ciel's butler had put together a meal i had never seen nor smelled before. Ciel and i sat next to each other like we used to. When he brought the food he told us.

"For dinner tonight i have prepared veil parmesan with a baked potato and broccoli."

I looked at ciel, "What is veil?"

He looked back at me. "Just try it..you had it once before, you will like it."

I nod "Alright." I cut a small piece and took a small bite of it, then smiled. "This is really good."

Ciel smirked. "Im glad you like it."

I nod "it melts in my mouth...i don't exactly have to chew."

Seeing him nod proved i was right about the texture. We ate our meal in silence. When we finished his butler brought desert and tool our plates.

"For desert i have prepared chocolate turtle cake."

Ciel watches me as i take a bite of the cake, i smiled widely. "So sweet and delicious!"

He nod and starts to eat, i try to control my speed but i still finish before him. Then i looked outside and saw it was starting to get dark and looking at Ciel i asked.

"May i step outside a minute?"

He nods and i stand up, Thomas starts to follow me and i shake my head and he stayed still. I went outside and looked up at the sky. This had became a habit for me. Coming outside as it got dark and looking at the sky...i have been doing it every night since i left that place. As i looked at the sky, the yellow-orange moon seemed bigger then it has been this week. Then slowly the stars came out, they where more radiant then i have ever seen an i smiled looking at the beautiful sky. I heard a voice behind me and i jumped.

"You like to see the star's Cece?"

I turned and saw Ciel behind me.

"Yes, since i left...i look at the stars every night. I never went outside the rooms then. I never saw daylight. So i love to come and see the stars and moon now."

He nods and comes towards me and we look up at the sky. I concentrate on one star and closed my eyes tight and made a wish. When i opened my eyes i saw Ciel looking at me.

"What were you doing Cece?"

I blinked, had he forgotten what we used to do? "I still believe in magic...and i wish on a star...well since i left that place i have been wishing on a star at night."

"We used to do that didn't we?"

I nod.

"I sorta remember that...so many things have slipped my memory since then."

I give him a hug and he hugs me back.

"How are you still so happy Cece?"

"I dont know...i went through so much yet i still smile...i dont know why..."

He holds me close. "Where do you live Cece?" I hesitated a moment. "Our summer home."

He pulled away from me and looked in my eyes. "How?!"

"My butler rebuilt it after we made the contract...its exactly the same. It seems as though it was burned down that same day..."

He seemed even only for a split second, to smile. I tried to hide a yawn and he put an arm around me.

"Tired Cece?"

I nod. "A little."

He takes me inside and looks at me like he did when we were children. "Want me to help you get ready for bed?"

I simply nod and he goes and gets me a nightgown, then helps me undress. After he pulled the dress down he gasped at my body. Carefully he hugged me from behind then turned me around and i laid my head on his shoulder. I felt safe in his arms. I did not mind letting him see me like this. He gently held me close as i held him as well. After he had dressed me, he was about to leave the room when i grabbed his hand.

"Will you stay?"

His eyes seemed to smile and he nods. "Let me get dressed first."

I nod letting go of his hand. When he came back i was already in the bed and i moved over so he could get in. I rested my head on his chest with his arms around me and i fell asleep like that...feeling safe.
