Melody's POV
As the fight began, a black smoke engulfed Sebastian and Ash. "Sebastian!" Ciel and I called out. Soon the black smoke began to surround me and Ciel. Then, I saw Sebastian's arm fly out of the smoke.
"Sebastian!" I called. As the black smoke was about to completely consume me and Ciel, it started to disappear in sparks of light. When all of the smoke disappeared, I saw Sebastian clutching his bleeding stump of an arm and Ash whistling for Pluto. When Pluto didn't come, I knew that the demon hound must be dead.
Ciel's POV
Ash then began to rise "Taste the flames of Hell!" Sebastian ran straight for me and Melody, grabbed us, and dodged the Angel's attacks. When the smoke finally cleared, Sebastian was on top of me and Melody was on my left. "May I ask for a favor?" Sebastian asked. "Please close your eyes." "Why?" I asked. "I am you butler," Sebastian said "It is not acceptable to damage my mater's impression of me. Until I give the word, please close them." I tuned to Melody, who nodded her head once and slipped her hand into mine. "Yes, I'll do it." I said, then closed my eyes and Melody did the same.
I got up, with my eyes still closed. I suddenly flew back, my hand still intertwined with Melody's and fell off the edge, but I didn't fall into the river. Melody held on to my hand, I assume she was holding on to the ledge. "Can you last long enough for me to count down from ten?" Sebastian asked. "Yes." I shouted. "Yes." Melody shouted.
As Sebastian counted down from ten, I could hear Ash's screams. I was struggling to keep my grip on Melody's hand. I opened my eyes, the battle was over. "I'm sorry." I apologized. Melody looked at me "What do you have to be sorry for?" she asked. I let go of her hand. I heard her scream my name as I plunged into the river and Sebastian going in after me.
When I opened my eyes, I was laying down on a boat. Sebastian was steering the boat with his only arm. "Master, I've seen you have awoken." Sebastian said. I looked over the edge of the boat. "What's this?" I asked. "This is your Cinematic Record," Sebastian said "Apparantly, it came to meet you." I watched some of the images. In one, I saw Melody, smiling at me and found myself smiling back at her. Melody. "Where's Melody?" I asked. Sebastian had an almost pained look on his face "She's alive, but was sobbing uncontrollably last I checked." I felt my heart grow heavy at the thought. I'm dead now, and I left her alone and hurting. "No, not yet." Sebastian said "Though Death will come to claim you eventually, I shall be here until the end. It is my duty as your butler." "Sebastian?" I said. "Yes?" Sebastian said. "Watch over Melody." I said "Even if I'm gone, I want to know she will be okay. She deserves that." Sebastian nodded "Yes, My Young Lord."
We arrived at a little island, where Sebastian carried me to the ruins of a stone building and put me on a stone bench. "So, this is where it ends?" I asked. "Yes." Sebastian said. "What about that bird?" I asked. "I will dispose of it." Sebastian said. "No, maybe you can give it what's left of my soul." I replied. "Will it hurt?" I asked. "A little. I will try and be gentle." Sebastian said. "No, be as brutal as you want." I told Sebastian "Etch the pain into me, It's proof I had a life worth living." Sebastian got to one knee "Indeed, my Young Lord."
The last thing I saw were Sebastian's glowing eyes.
Melody was found the next morning by Mey-Rin at the docks. "Lady Melody, what has happened?" Mey-Rin asked. The broken and sad look in Melody's eyes told Mey-Rin what words could not. "Come on, let's go home." Mey-Rin said.
Melody's POV
When Mey-Rin and I arrived at the manor, the fire had died down, leaving the mansion partially burnt down. "It will be rebuilt, exactly the way it was before." I choked out. "Yes, ma'am." Mey-Rin said. My mother, then Bella, now Ciel. All gone, leaving me alone.
