Hannah got medical equipment and wrapped Sebastian's shoulder. "This injury is going to take a while to heal, after all the sword is a demon sword." She told him. Ciel was trying to keep the babies calm, Luca wailed, not liking being near a stranger. Rachel whimpered, obviously scared.

sebastian nods 'thank you, how is alois?' lucifer was crying tremendously, he was surrounded by snow. sora got to the room where ciel was and sighed, picking up luca 'you can come back up now, lucen is dead'

"How is Sebastian?" Ciel asked, a large gash in his shoulder from cutting it on a piece of jagged metal as he was running. He had completely ignored it, focusing on protecting the babies. "He's in terrible condition but with time and a lot of care he'll be alright again. He suffered many injuries protecting Luca and the twins as well as Ciel. He really does care for Ciel, having suffered through the same situation as him, losing one who was dear to him, he sees himself and Ciel as the same."

sora frowns and sighs 'im not all to sure sweetie, he was stabbed through his shoulder with the demon sword but i couldn't see any other injuries. now lets get you back upstairs so we can clean out your wound' lucifer was starting to have red hair from the gash but the snow he was creating was freezing the wound. sebastian nods smiling slightly 'and aya?'

Ciel stood up and nodded. "What injury?" Ciel hadn't even noticed it, the adrenaline in his veins made it not hurt at all. Rachel clung to Ciel. "He broke a few bones but other then that he's fine. He'll be good as new soon." Hannah said, tying of the thread of the stitches. "There, have Ciel or one of the others in your manor change the wrapping every few hours. It should heal fine."

'you cut your shoulder hunny, now lets get back...alois has been looking for luca ever since he woke up... poor dear wants his little brother.' 'thank you hannah. i'll go check on him, he's probably already healed.' he left for the room where alois and aya where in.

Ciel looked and saw she was right, "I didnt even feel it..." He sighed and followed her back.

Hannah followed him with the supplies.

'it's because you were in mommy mode, sweetheart, i go into the same mode when my babies are in trouble.' she climbs up and helps ciel up.

Ciel nodded. "Where is Alois?"

'he should be in his room, he was very hurt... im surprised he stayed awake.' aya was walking around, trying to steady himself on his newly healed bones to make sure they heeled right.

Ciel went to Alois's room and sat Luca and the twins in the bassinet next to his bed. Claude was stitching up the gashes and wrapped the larger wounds up. He put casts on the broken bones and propped them up. "Don't move my lord. It's important for the bones to heal straight." Claude told him. He had told Hannah to go pick up pain medication for him. Ciel looked at Alois. "Thank you Alois... You saved the twins and Luca, not to mention me. But I have to ask you...why? I'm never nice to you and I treat you so badly."

alois sighed 'we are the same yet we are different...' he turned his head to look at ciel 'we both have no parents, watched our loved ones die, our only companions are our servants, and we both love games.' his eyes closed 'i was with my original brother, luca, as a baby...i love babies, everyone loves them and they are taken care of...i know what its like to wish for the things you want, even crave... i know what its like to live without parents, i don't even remember them i don't know their names.' he sighed 'luca gave up his life for me to be happy and i wanted to do the same...besides he'd still have his parents, and if i let you die the twins would only have one maybe less...i can't do that to a child, a baby...i don't want someone to grow up like me...'

Ciel sighed. Alois was correct. They were the same, just with different circumstances.

alois looked at claude 'claude...'

"Yes my lord?"

'kill me'

"...What?"

alois closed his eyes 'kill me please'

"...I can not do that."

alois looks at him tiredly 'why not?'

"I can not kill the one I love."

alois stares at him

"I will heal you to the best of my abilities but death is not something I will let happen."

alois starts giggling hysterically

"My lord?"

't-this must be a-a dream!'

"I assure you this is no dream."

'then you have to consume my soul...you saying that you loved me was my wish'

"I will not do that."

'then i'll do it myself' alois begins to claw at his stitches.

Claude grabbed his hand. "I do not advise that."

alois bit his fingers and lifted his broken arm.

Claude growled. He made everyone leave along with the babies and locked the door,

alois bit the wrappings and started tearing it off.

Claude grabbed his wrist. "If you do not stop i will be forced to punish you."

'NO, I DON'T WANT TO STOP!' alois bites him again.

Claude's eye flashed red and he slapped the blonde.

alois looks shocked then he narrows his eyes and makes another tear

Claude glared. "If you continue to act like a spoiled brat I will bind you to this bed until you are healed."

alois glared back 'im the master here not you!'

"You are the master for show. You do not own me. I own you. Your body, your mind and that feast of a soul you have."

'then eat it! kill me already or i'll kill myself! i'll do it!' he peeled off the bandage, blood running down his arm.

Claude got restraints and re-wrapped the bandage. Afterwards he tied Alois down, pinning his arms to his side.

alois started to kick.

"I'll restrain your legs as well."

he kicked claudes waist 'fuck off!'

Claude restrained his legs. "If you wish to act like a mental patient i will treat you like one."

alois glared at him 'i hate you'

"Hate me if you wish. It is my job to care for you."

'go drown in a river!'

Hannah came in with the medication Claude sent her to get.

'im not taking it...' he closed his mouth tightly

Claude forced his jaw open and dropped the pill into his mouth.

alois spat it in claudes face.

"Hannah. Fetch me the liquid pain medication and a syringe." Hannah nodded and left to get the items asked for

alois starts screaming at the top of his lungs and thrashing.

Claude sighed. "Really now. Is that necessary?"

alois continued, only stopping to suck in another breath.

Luca could be heard crying from a few rooms over, not liking the fact his brother was screaming. "If you continue to scream i will have to gag you." Claude warned

alois stopped 'im not stopping for you... im stopping for luca' he continued thrashing more violently

"If you wish to keep thrashing and harming yourself think about how that will make Luca react."

'shut up!' he bit at the restraints

hannah returned with the medication, Luca in one arm

alois looked at luca and bit his tongue.

Claude took the medication and filled the syringe.

'do it and i'll bite my tongue off and drown on my own blood'

Luca whimpered at the threat.

alois looked at luca and closed his eyes 'i'll do it'

Claude gently turned Alois's arm so the crook of his elbow was exposed. He cleaned the area and injected the medication into Alois' veins.

alois quickly moved his arm so the needle snapped, the tip inside his flesh still. he bit down on his tongue.

Claude sighed and got a pair of tweezers and pulled the needle out. "The needle was already empty. This medication is a sedative as well as a pain killer."

alois glared and bites down harder on his tongue, blood welling in his mouth.

Luca reached for Alois. "No little Luca. Alois is hurt." Hannah said

some blood runs out from the corners of his lips

Claude sat in the chair by Alois' bed and began working on a lace web. Hannah left with Luca

alois begins to gurgle as he falls asleep, coughing up some blood.
