"So you see a mistake was made madam" I smiled softly at my aunt. I was trying my best to be convincing….but it's so hard to be persuasive when your hearts broken. I hurt….my beloved so much over this….but its what's best right…isn't it?

"So you want to marry Lizzy then" she turned her head to the side with a questioning look on her pale face.

I swallowed air "yes, there's no one in the world I l-love more" my voice cracked when I said 'love'….I don't particularly like to lie so I'm not very good at it. And when the words 'I love Lizzy' leave my lips my voice will crack because that is defiantly lie.

"But Ciel" my aunt whispered pushing a strand of my black hair behind my ear "you hate Lizzy"

My face turned pink "I…I…I do not"

"I'll rearrange it for it and you'll be married tomorrow morning as was planned" she smiled a sad smile as if she'd seen into my soul…..my soul…the thing my beloved so desperately craved…the thing that bound us at first….now were bound by something more than my soul…..or I guess we were bound by what some call love.

I shook the though from my head….forget it…I told myself softly in my head. Alois left the manor in return of his own later that same night.

I sat still at my desk only moving to turn the pages of the book in my hands. My eyes kept drifting toward the raven haired demon that stood at my side pouring tea. I opened my mouth to speak but what I wanted to say never came out…instead I said 'trying to drown me in tea again?"

"No young master" the raven said softly avoiding my eyes. "Don't call me that" I hissed. "What would you like to be called" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Every bad name in every language you know" I sighed into the palm of my pale hand. "Why would you wish to be looked down upon" again the raven spoke softly just above a whisper.

"Such is the price for a liar" the word lair left my lips and left a bitter taste in my mouth.

"The price of a liar" whispered the demon "what lie have you told"

I bit my lower lip again until I tasted my blood in my mouth "never mind" I muttered throwing my book to the floor. The raven haired demon quickly picked it up but I was gone before he looked up again.

I was so mad….I had to marry….had to. There was no choice. But that girl….my god I hate her. And the one I love…is….taboo to my kiss…touch…voice all of the raven is forbidden to me. I walked slowly toward my darkened bedroom. I slowly sauntered over to my large bed and fell to the mattress on my stomach clutching the cold sheets in my hands.

I inhaled the wonderful scent that surrounded my room…it smelled like the red eyed demon I loved so dearly. I felt the tears bubble up to my ocean blue eyes…I'd miss the raven haired demon….after I married Lizzy.

I felt something tangled in the sheets I'd been holding onto. My eyes blurred with tears when I looked at the small piece of paper in my hand. The writing was neat and clear but my burred eyes didn't help me much at all.

The little note read…

Say you love him before you lose him
