The next morning when I woke up, I saw Ash appearing down at me, smiling as he awakened me up from my slumber. "Good morning, Elena, we've arrived to France." He helped me get up from bed.

"Really?" The excitement in me was exploding. I wanted to looked around the place and see what they have over here.

"Yes, really. Let's go," he said, sticking his hand out to me and I took it to follow him out of the ship to the dock.

With a carriage arriving, Ash placed the suitcases at the back and I sat with him in the front. As we were making our way to art museum, Ash was pointing out places that he went before and saying if it changed or stayed the same from when he came to Paris. Just everything about Paris was beautiful. How lovely couples held hands, walking with each other out in the day with only them staring at each other because they're in love. I wished I had that love...but I don't.

"What's wrong? Your face shows envy of the couples around us. Do you want to hold hands with me to feel better?" He had no shyness from saying that to me. Wasn't he confident to ask me that.

With a rush of heat getting to me. "I… I'm good! It's fine really, I don't need it." I declined his bold offer because I had no heart to give myself hope. My feelings were undetectable with everything going on around or in me.

We stopped at the museum, but I decided to explore off by myself since Ash was busy watching the Queen. I walked around the shops located near the arts museum. The food were looking sooo good but I had no money to buy anything really so I could watch people eat, sadly. "Isn't this place call the City of Love as well or something?" I murmured, trying to remember where I heard that from.

Feeling lonely, I decided to go up on the Eiffel Tower alone. I will embrace my loneliness I'm feeling right now. I made my way to the tower and stepped inside the elevator as it pulled me up to the top. The door opened and I walked out, seeing a beautiful sight before my eyes. Up here from this high distance, everything was so tiny. It was cute. The people were like ants, crawling around the place. I felt big like a giant, staring down at this magnificent place.

I was getting hit by the waves of pain and nausea. I gripped onto the railing tightly, trying to keep my balance. I didn't want to move at all so I wouldn't faint, but even standing my head was spinning around. I slowly went down onto my knees to sit down from this headache that was taking over me. "Why not…?" My body slumped over and the dark shadows were slowly taking over my vision.

Sebastian POV:

I stopped in place to feel a familiar connection near me. I spun around to see if there was anyone that I knew or recognized from somewhere, but I guess wrong since there weren't anything that I could remember.

"What's wrong, Sebastian?" The young master asked, staring up at me, almost close to glaring.

"Someone I know is here somewhere, but I just can't put my finger on it." My eyes searched but no faces were known to me. I was going to push it aside since the feeling was just trying to annoy me. It was just irrelevant since I'm on duty.

"Ah, Sebastian, it's good to see you here today in Paris." It was none other than Ash who had to appear in my face.

"Oh, hello there, Ash. I didn't know you would be here with the Queen," I said in a matter-of-fact voice, not caring much about him or why he's in my face.

"And Elena. She's not here around me, but exploring around since she went off of her own. Don't worry, Sebastian, she's safe from any bad things...like you." He sneered at me with his piercing eyes digging into my heartless, black soul. "Don't your heart yearns for her? She hasn't been eating for quite some times because she needs to feed on souls." He balled his right hand into a fist and laying it over his heart.

I showed a neutral expression, concealing the feelings that were swooning inside of me, slowly taking over my words that I was trying to form. But instead, I chose not to say anything.

"Sebastian!" The young master called in the nick of time.

"I'm sorry, I must leave and attend to my young master." I bowed, happily, leaving from his pure aura that he was bringing out.

I quickly strode up to the young master, thanking him that he grabbed me out from that heavy conversation that Ash and I were having.

"Well, isn't it your fault?" Once again he had a comeback, cracking a glass cup over my head as it bleeds out regret.

"I like how you always have a comeback to everything, young master. You'll be having many, many money to raise for the orphans' houses with your sharp comeback." I tried to hold my sharp tone in, trying not to get totally angry with my master because he's only just an arrogant, sharp kid.

"I'm already rich, Sebastian. I can offer money to the orphans any time I want." He glared, then turning away from me.

Soon after the incident of the flying monkey attacking the young master, he ran off to safety as I fought to capture it. The people were screaming, running, just making things even worse than before. I finally caught the money. "This nuisance monkey, causing a big ruckus…" I mumbled, angrily, as this day of mine was being ruined by the magic of Ash. I even spotted him at the corner of my eye, but I could care less about it.

Elena POV:

"Elena….! Elena….!" I heard a faded voice calling out to me. It was audible, but was so far from reach.

Opening my eyes were hazing. I saw a blurry small figure staring down at me. The movement was small as their small hands shook me back and forth, trying their hardest to get me conscious.

"Elena, remember me?" The figure was getting crystal clear with in seconds. "Ciel Phantomhive? Do you recall?"

"Yes, I remember you." I slowly nodded, trying to get up from the ground.

"You're so pale and weak looking…" He muttered, staring at my poor condition.

"Oh Ciel, are you trying to ignore your Queen?" We both turned around to see… The Queen of England…?

"Isn't she a bit too young to be the Queen?" I turned my head to Ciel.

"I'll tell you about it later."

"Later?" Does he mean I'm going back home with Ciel and… Sebastian?

"Elena and Ciel! Surprise to see you here, mostly you Elena." Ash suddenly appeared from nowhere.

"Me? Why me?" I didn't understand what was going on.

"Come here dear," Ash motioned, and I looked back to Ciel, not knowing if I should go or not.

I get up, slowing walking to Ash, but something inside of me had a bad feeling. I slowly saw Ash pulling out his sword that he carried and it clicked, Ash was going to kill Ciel! I turned myself back around to grab Ciel, but instead I was grabbed along with Ciel to be protected by none other than Sebastian. He pulled me close to his chest, making me scared yet shocked with my heart pounding as if he was my crush that made me go crazy.

I heard Ash scoffed, slowing down his pace, staring at me, only me. "So, I see… Going back to that demon who left you. Why be with him if I could give you something better?!" He voice and expression changed drastically. His twisted expression showed a killer man in his eyes. His voice deepened in disappointment in me. "Why do you carry his demon child?! You are dying, Elena. Come here with me to purify the child. No harm will be done." With opened arms he held out.

In my guts, I knew if I return back it would be bad. "So he knew…" I whispered. I couldn't believe that he knew… Maybe what Sebastian said was right. Ash is a fallen angel.

"She doesn't want you, Ash. Right from the start she has chosen me not you. It never have been you." Sebastian declared, before Ash went back to charging at us.

Sebastian moved to protect us by fighting against Ash. I was breathing quite heavily and Ciel took noticed of me, scooting his way to support me as I leaned all my weight onto him. I looked up at where the both men were fighting. "Ciel, stop them. They're going to destroy the tower and kill some people because of it." I softly spoke, feeling tired again, wanting to sleep once more.

"Sebastian, stop!" Ciel yelled, making Sebastian jump back in front of Ciel.

"Why?" Sebastian questioned, but couldn't he see it was obvious that people will die?

"You're causing a commotion, and plus people will die." Ciel retorted back, caring about the people who's getting involved.

"Why should it matter? They're just human." How coldly Sebastian felt about humans.

I wish I didn't hear that, I wish I wasn't here... I moved myself away from Ciel, putting my distance between them. "I guess I can die too, right, Sebastian? Because I'm just human… You never cared about me that's why Ash was the only one I went to because he actually did care, but I'm just surrounded by lies." The emptiness was growing larger inside of my heart. I was nothing to people, and I hated it.

I stormed off to the elevator, leaving behind everyone. No one won't care if I'm dead because I wasn't important to them. "This baby can be the death of me…." I opened the door, stepping a foot in, but then I was suddenly lifted up in the air.

"Elena, let me take you back home since Sebastian doesn't want you. I know you heard it too. He doesn't care if humans die because they're just humans." Ash thinks he'll get me back, but he's wrong, way wrong.

"Put me on the ground." I was hanging on his hand, not being carried.

He did what I said and landed me on the ground gently. "Well are you going to come back with me?" He asked, still wondering.

"Take me home. I want to go home."

"As you wish," He bowed, not asking me anymore questions.

I didn't turn back to stare at Sebastian or Ciel because I just couldn't... It was painful.

Sebastian POV:

I watched her walk away with Ash and the Queen.

"How cruel you sounded in her ears. You could tell she was going to cry from what you said about humans." Ciel scoffed once more.

'I guess I can die too, right, Sebastian? Because I'm just human… You never cared about me that's why Ash was the only one I went to because he actually did care, but I'm just surrounded by lies.'

Her words were glued in my head, making me feel like the bad guy in this situation. But I lost her again after just holding her in my arms for those last seconds. I shifted my gazed up to the young master, "Let's go home."

Elena POV:

The day after the trip to France, I walked inside the castle to see if I need to take anything back so I can go find another place to crash, and even maybe die. I was packing little clothing that I brought over here. I angrily stuffed it in the bag that I carried. There was knocking on the door, but I didn't want to answer. I hoped that they'll just go away, knowing that I'm not in here or I just don't want to answer you.

"I'm coming in, Elena!" It was the voice of Ash.

I didn't want to see him either.

"I don't want you in here!" It was too late, he let himself in without my consent. "Ash-" before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed ahold of my face, squeezing it to give me little pain.

"I see that you're leaving. You're not going to leave, my dear." He was totally changing on me. He's showing his dark side to me and I was scared of him. I fear the most of me and the child.

With all of my strength, I pushed him away from me, stumbling back. "I am no prisoner, Ash! I am human with dreams, achievements, and-" He pushed me down onto the bed, pinning me down with his hands and body.

His face was close to mine. "What dream and achievement? You have nothing on your dirty little hands. All you achieve was carrying a demon's child, is that what you call an achievement?" He quickly pulled back. "You let him take over you just like that? How weak of you. You didn't fight back with him because you thought he was just so handsome that one day you'll never have the chance to meet him again! Isn't that why your friends you made betrayed you? Because you weren't anything value to them. They used you. You're only a toy… And you're already done for."

I couldn't help but cry. Everything he said were true. I'm just a weak person after all.

"Admitting it already?" He scoffed, then walking out of the room, locking the door, making my eyes widened.

"No…!" I ran to the door pounding it hard, trying to break it open or just something for the door to open. "Let me out, Ash!" I yelled, hitting the door with my fist.

"Tomorrow, dear." That's all he said before retreating his footsteps from the door.
