Ricky

I struggle furiously against the demon Hannah, snarling at an amused Alois who stands in front of me, however keeping a safe distance.

"Such a pretty dame!" He says clapping his hands excitedly and I bare my teeth furiously.

"Go to Hell Alois!" I scream at him and this just makes him laugh.

"Aw, well sweetheart, I'm already there!" He grins, giggling and I cringe at the sound. He moves close to me, his lips brushing my cheek before moving to my ear. "You're mine now..."

I turn my head and snap at him, causing him to leap back, giggling the whole time. "Put her in my room. I want her waiting for me. Little Ciel must understand that he can't have everything." Alois points out, dismissing Hannah and I.

"You'll suffer for this Alois!" I shout at him as Hannah drags me through the halls away from the smirking blonde.

Hannah throws me into one of the large bedrooms, shutting and locking the door. I turn immediately and beat on the thick wood. "You think this'll keep me in here!" I snap, throwing my body against it over and over again, until my arm and shoulder are black and blue. I slide to the floor in defeat.

Where is my brother when I need him?

I hug my knees tears streaming down my cheeks.

If you haven't figured it out, I am a weak demon. I've never devoured a soul in all my life, for I've never had the gut to do it. Yes, it's true that it's in a demons nature to devour souls but I've never found pleasure in it. Actually, my abilities as a demon are so weak, I'm not even sure I can eat a soul. That is why I am such a disappointment to my brother. The only thing I am truly capable of is traveling through time, and the fact that I'm immortal.

I scramble to my feet when I hear the door unlocking, and Alois steps in. I clench my fists and he giggles, spinning around on the balls of his feet, then grins at me. "Let's have some fun shall we?"

Ciel

We burst into the Trancy manor, immediately brought to a halt by the demon Hannah. "Sebastian!" I call to him, even though he's standing right beside me. "Take care of Hannah!"

"Yes my Lord!" He responds before dashing towards the house-maid, silver knives in hand.

She remains calm, as she dodges him, pulling out her own weapon, it being a long sword, glinting in the light coming through large windows.

I skirt around the fight sprinting up the stairs and through the halls and corridors of the manor, looking into every room I come across. I dare not call out to her for fear Alois would hear and escape before I knew where and when he'd gone.

"Master look out!" Sebastian shouts to me and I spin around, finding myself knocked down as over a dozen knifes strike the butler in his back after having shielded me from the weapons.

Checking me over to make sure I'm alright he resumes the fight with Hannah, keeping her at bay for now.

Pushing the fight to the back of my mind I turn sharply into another hallway and burst into the first room I come to. Alois lays on the floor whimpering, clutching his arm which is bleeding.

"Ricky!" I scream for her, but no amswer comes and I storm over to Alois, snatching up the collar of his shirt. "Where is she!" I snarl and he sniffs, tears welled in his eyes.

"He took her!" He wails, and I can't tell if it's because of Ricky's sudden abscence or because of his minor wound.

I pull him closer my eyes a burning red. "Who!"

"Claude..."
