(Hey only one more exam then all done! Because I'm so happy here you go...)
-CRACK- The marble floor made a horrible sound as Sebastian and Hana landed. Letting go of each other, they both took time to look over where they were. They had never actually been inside the castle, but they had a general idea of where to go.
" Sebastian I'm positive he's at the very top. "
" Me too Hana, but how can we get there, it's protected by souls and magic. "
" Dammit, come on let's go see. " Their auras still going strong, Hana and Sebastian went down a hallway covered in red, trying to sense where Ciel was.
" Sebastian I can't sense him, you? "
" Shit Hana, me neither. Let's hurry. " Slowly building speed until they were flying down hallways, sprinting up steppes and turning at dead ends, all the while trying to get a taste of Ciel's aura. Being demon it would be easy, especially in demon form, but they couldn't get a reading.
Growing anxious, Hana gave up on getting a reading at focused on controlling her emotions. Ciel would definitely not benefit from a demon wreak. Feeling her struggle, Sebastian turned to face her and gripped her shoulders tightly.
" Hana...love we can do this ok? We WILL find him and we WILL kill whoever was in charge of planning this. It will be fine... I promise. "
Staring into his ruby eyes, Hana searched for anything, but all she found was pain filled look.
" Ok Sebastian and I promise YOU we WILL find Ciel. " Showing a ghost of a smile, Sebastian quickly pecked one of Hana's cat ears and grabbed her hand again, pulling her after him.
With new determination, the couple continued their search until finally they found a staircase leading to a wooden door. When they tried to open it, the door wouldn't budge. Pounding again and again they finally decided it was pointless.
" We have too Sebastian. Time is almost up! "
" I KNOW HANA! OK! " Stunned by his yelling, Hana shrank back and turned back to the door hiding tears. She knew it was stressful for everyone and the nerves were mounting, but the worry just got the better of her.
Placing a hand on the door, she gave a light push, then a harder one, then a harder one, until all her weight was on the door. Pulling her other hand in front, she formed black and purple aura ball fizzling with power. Counting to herself, Hana at three smashed the ball into the door and was pushed backwards by the sheer force of two different magics interacting with each other.
After regaining her breath, Hana pulled herself up and stared at the staircase before her. She never thought what she did would work, but when someone's desperate enough anything can happen.
" Hana you did it! Come on let's go. " Sebastian held out his hand and gripping on, Hana pulled herself up and sprinted after Sebastian.
Please help it not be to late.
Running up a staircase is hard. Running up a swirling staircase that felt like it would tumble any minute was even harder. Persevering, Hana and Sebastian reached the top after a eternity of five minutes. They ended up on the highest turret on the castle and laying before them was Ciel, bound and gagged with tear streaks running down his face. Also standing there was the highest and most feared demon of all the elders, the eldest himself holding a dagger.
" Well, well, well, isn't my two favorite demons, Sebastian and Hana. Welcome. " What seemed to be a smile came off as a grimace as the eldest bent down to lift Ciel by his hair. Dangling in the air, Ciel gave a muffled cry of pain making Sebastian step forward as if in pain himself.
" You better let him go or I swear. "
" Or you swear what exactly Sebastian? Unfortunately for you, both of you were too late and now he dies. " Taking his dagger, the eldest slit Ciel's throat, making a large amounts of blood to start gushing through.
" NOOO! Ciel! " Hana cried out in pain and dropped to her knees, the note from before fluttering out of her hand. Sebastian as if everything didn't matter anymore launched himself at the demon.
" You die today basterd. " Without anymore words, Sebastian took of look at the demons face, then snapped it's neck in two. Throwing away the body, Sebastian knelt down beside Ciel and lifted the boy's head onto his lap. Stroking Ciel's hair, Sebastian made a sound that could have been a sob, but was pushed back down.
Hana recovering from shock went to kneel beside Sebastian and Ciel and started into the boy's clear face.
" Let's...get him home. He..he...he needs to go home. " Hana stuttered then started sobbing forgetting whatever else she was going to say. Everything to her was pointless now and seeing Sebastian so crushed made her feel like the whole weight of hell was on her shoulders.
" Yes let us bring young master home. "
