Ciel's eyes were wide as his fiancee flew past him, her stomach punctured and coughing up blood.
"LIZZY!"
He ran towards her, thinking of nothing but her smile. And how, because of him, she had lost it.
"Lizzy! Lizzy!" he cried desperately, shaking her.
But it was too late.
She wouldn't respond.
She wouldn't wake up.
She was dead.
Dead.
Planting one last kiss on her paled cheek, Ciel turned around, his eyes alight with sorrow, anger and hatred.
"Sebastian, heel."
His butler looked at him questionably, but didn't want to deal with the fire that burned in his master's eye, so he simply said,
"Whatever you wished, Milord."
"Such a shame, a broad like her woulda been nice to have," the man sighed, "But what can you do?"
"You bastard!" Ciel shouted, in fury. With speed that he didn't even know existed, he ran towards the man, and pulled out his gun.
He couldn't see his target, and he didn't notice the blood that flew and splattered his clothing. The only thing he saw was Lizzy, her smiling face and her giggling. The fierce light in her eyes when she claimed to protect him. The sweet, loving, but sharp and witty fiancee. The girl he loved.
Gone.
"Young Master," Sebastian's voice sounded so far away. He felt a gloved hand on his shoulder, "That's enough. He's dead."
Getting back up, Ciel moved himself from the dead body, and said, "Get Elizabeth's body. We'll need it... for the funeral." Even he was surprised how emotionless his voice was.
"Yes, my Lord."
He was there for the funeral.
Donning his black suit, with his hair pushed back, Ciel stood in front of her grave.
Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Middleford
1875-1890
May her smile grace us everyday from the light of heaven.
When Lizzy's family had found out, Aunt Frances was the first to react. She had slapped him, called him a fool, and broke down. Edward glared at him, and then tried to attack him, only to be held back by Uncle Alexis. He wouldn't even look at his nephew in the eye, when he told him to get out.
"What will you do milord?" Sebastian asked, "You've lost your parents, your aunt, and now Lady Elizabeth is gone as well. Will you continue your path of blood, or will you abandon yourself entirely? Or run away, and never come back to the place you once called 'home'?"
"What can I do?" he retorted, turning around and facing the demon, "I won't rest until I get my revenge. Nothing will hold me back. Nothing..."
He took one last glance at his beloved's grave before walking away. Walking away from her, himself, and his humanity.
He was a demon, through and through.
A/N: We've never seen Ciel axe-crazy, have we? I always liked Lizzy, even before chapter 57, because she made him human. And I wanted to illustrate that. Without her light, he'd be consumed by the darkness that is his job, his work, and Sebastian. Annnnddd of course, right after fluff, we have to dive into angst. And character death. Because I dunno, this stuff is so much easier to write, for some reason. I actually intended this to come out after That Couple, Trick-or-Treating, but ya know. A Halloween fic ought to come out before Halloween... so I held off on releasing this. But you guys wanted the fluff, right? I'm pretty sure you did; I barely do fluff. It's so hard making everything so sugary sweet, ya know? But i digress. I hoped you guys liked this chapter, and stay tuned for... more character death x3
