~*~SEBASTAIN'S POV~*~

"Sebastian! Get us out of here now! Avril's hurt!" the young master shouted to me.

He was standing beside a bloody, bleeding, and tense Avril. She looked ready to not only scream but cry. I had tried to stabilize her until we could get out of the building. I wanted to take her away that instant she had been hit but I needed to keep the young master safe, so I had to wait until the young lord was aloud to come out of the Reaper Library.

Suddenly Avril whimpered. Quietly, but I heard it all the same.

I was stunned for a second. I had never seen that amount of pain on a demons face. I shook it off as quickly as I could and rushed forward. I snatched the young master up along with Miss. Avril and ran.

I ran as fast as I possibly could with the two in my arms. Avril was losing blood and fast.

This was the first time I had been afraid for someone in a very long time.

~*~ CIEL'S POV~*~

Avril looked so frail. So weak. And I could do nothing but order Sebastian to help. I was weak and defenseless. Sebastian was running as fast as he could and I could tell by how tense he was. He was as scared as I.

That angel tried to kill me, change my ways, and now she has gone and killed-

'No Ciel Phantomhive. No don't think like that. She'll make it. I know she will. She has to. She..She can't...She can't leave me alone...'

I closed my eyes tightly and forced myself to not cry. I couldn't afford to think like that and cause myself to cry. I couldn't be weak. I learned that from that angel. Being weak only ends badly and in death. Exhibit A was cringing in pain right now in Sebastian's arms.

Why did she have to do that? Why did she have to try and fight the angel? Dammit all why did she have to protect me!?

~*~AVRIL'S POV~*~

It hurt. It burned. This angel certainly knew how to handle her enemies Holy Water, for pain. I was fighting every molecule in my body to not scream bloody murder. I was on the verge of tears. Then she mixed dogwood in it. That only made it worse. I took everything in me. I barely even noticed that Sebastian was running with me in his arms. I didn't care enough right now to fight. I was in too great of pain. I felt blood dripping down my side. It was already starting to burn its way through me. Inside out.

I heard a door open.

'We must be at the manor.'

Suddenly I felt a soft surface bellow me. Bed. I couldn't enjoy it. The pain was too great. It was hurting more now than before. I was bleeding more.

'So this is how I die...'

~*~SEBASTIAN'S POV~*~

She was fading. I could hear her heart beat rapidly. She needed help. My saliva couldn't help her enough. I needed virgin blood. But i couldn't ask the young master to give his blood. It would be too much.

"Sebastian I want you to keep her alive. Do whatever it takes. Do you need my help?" The young master ordered.

The look in his eyes matched how i felt inside. The young master looked terrified but fierce at the same time.

I shook my head slight and sighed.

"Young master there is one thing you could do but...it is rather gruesome sir. I would rather you not," I said timidly.

"What do i need to do? Tell me Sebastian this is an order!" The young master said coldly.

I sighed once more.

"I need virgin blood. You my lord are a virgin," I said reluctantly.

I reached over and grabbed a small cup from Avril's bathroom supplies.

"Please fill this cup with your blood my lord," I said empty.

The young lord paled slightly, but took the cup. He found a knife by Avril's bedside and sliced his wrist. The cup filled quickly. He handed it to me, his hands shaking slightly. I took it.

"Now young master if you do not mind could you please leave? I do not wish you to see this," I said politely.

Ciel tensed up and then walked out and shut the door.

I turned back to Avril quickly. I stripped her down from her clothes. She was in terrible shape. She was bleeding all over and suffered from multiple burns. I forced Avril's mouth open and poured the blood down her mouth. She screamed once her mouth was opened but fought it back enough to swallow. She was either very trusting or very desperate. Either way she was smart to swallow. I bit down on my own wrist while Avril started bleeding more and was trembling now. Her heart rate was going very fast. I filled the cup with my own blood and spit into it. My saliva and blood would make her heal faster and quicker. I was improvising here since i didn't know much about how to heal a half demon. I poured the blood into my mouth. She was reacting... venomously. She must've felt the demon saliva and didn't want it. I kept her mouth shut and made her swallow but she screamed again and again. She was not happy with me. I felt horrible. I remember her last reaction to my saliva and it wasn't a good one. Suddenly her wounds started to heal, slowly true, but they were healing. She was calming down. Her body eventually loosened up. She looked like she was sleeping now. Goodness she was beautiful.

I had been feeling this strange sensation for a while now. Since I saw her that day in the bathtub. Bruised, bloody, and crying. Call me mental but...I wanted to keep her safe since then. I cared about her. This is strange since I myself haven't cared about anything for a long time.

~*~AVRIL'S POV~*~

I felt strange. I swear I heard my master's voice in the distance but I couldn't be quite sure. I forced my eyes open to see I was in my bedroom, on my bed. I sat up and looked around. Then it hit me.

I burned a little first off. The main thing I felt though was the inappropriate feeling I had. I felt dizzy and very hot. Like I was under demon saliva influence.

"Avril...You with me?"Sebastian said, gently.

I tried as hard as i could to focus my attention to him. He seemed...concerned about me. Worried even.

"I-I am. Sort of. What are you doing here? Wh-Where's Ciel...What happened?" I stammered out.

Good God I sounded intoxicated...

"The young lord is fine. I brought you and the young master back to the mansion and patched you up. You've been out for a few hours. The young master fell asleep waiting for you to wake up and so I put him to bed. He refused to leave you to go to bed. I am here to help you get better. The master-"Sebastian said but paused.

I started swaying slightly, sitting down. I frowned a bit frustrated. Then i figured it out...Sort of.

"Sebastian Michaelis, I swear to God if you put demon blood on my wounds, i will strangle that pretty raven like neck of yours and snap it like a twig..."I slurred out barely audible.

Sebastian sighed heavily.

"Miss. Avril you do not understand. I had to. You would-"

I punched him in the face. Or tried to. I must've missed because i fell flat on my face. The world was spinning and it was hard to focus on one object, like Sebastian's bloody face.

"Miss Avril I had to. First off the young lord ordered me to save you. Second off you would have died if i didn't mix together-"

"What did you mix together...What the fuck did you put into me..."I snapped at him, trying to sit up and then punch him again.

I missed. Again. I hit his leg instead. I realized how firm his leg was and-

'Avril Phantomhive no! This right here...that thought you almost thought about...That was close to suicide. No...Stop now...'

Sebastian sighed again and he sounded tired.

"Virgins blood, my blood, and a dash of my saliva. It was the only way to heal you. Avril...Avril are you alright?" Sebastian started calm but ended shakily.

I looked up at him, or rather the seven of him.

"I'm still a little sore and my heads spinning like a top but besides that...I don't know...Sebastian why do you-"I started but was interrupted.

By a kiss. Sebastian was kissing me. I didn't know how to react at first. Then something took over me. My instincts must've kicked in. Because I kissed back. I couldn't help but melt into the kiss. I pushed myself closer to him.

'How could I let this happen...'

I was fully done for now. As soon as his lips touched mine, I was doomed. I couldn't pull away, I was stuck like a fly in a spiders web. My mind was no longer in control. My body had the reins of my actions. He was cool as ice and I was burning up, I needed to cool down but I was only getting hotter. His mouth opened wider, letting his tongue come forward to invade my mouth. I was hesitant but I allowed it, welcomed it in fact.

~*~SEBASTIAN'S POV~*~

Avril was now in his lap and he tried his best to keep his hands off of her, truly the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I was starting to slip through the cracks because of her own saliva. Half-bloods have a different chemical compound in their saliva that affects demons much like an aphrodisiac. Avril pushed me down on the bed completely and I could not believe it. I could feel myself blushing. She came down to my ear.

"You're mine now, dog."

The word dog made me almost lose all control.

"Woof."

I said with a smirk.

"Meow."

She purred. God, it made me shiver. I don't know why but I felt as though I had to be gentle with Avril. Not anymore. I was done with control. I flipped her so that she was underneath me now but it didn't last long and I was soon back down on the bed, underneath her again.

"Clothes...off. Now."

She ordered. I chuckled at her aggressiveness. With a smirk, I very slowly undressed. I literally counted the seconds it took for me to undress.

'1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.'

I removed my tie and tossed it off to the side.

'1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.'

My jacket was off now. I tossed that too. Avril bit her lip in anticipation. I bet she was counting as well.

'1, 2, 3.'

My vest was off of my body and instead across the room now.

She began to kiss me again and unbuttoned my shirt while doing so. Without my permission, a growl escaped my chest once her hands had found their way in the blinding dark to my pants. I unzip and unbuttoned the back of her dress before sliding it off of her smooth shoulders. I felt my chest tighten for some reason...I hadn't the foggiest idea why it had occurred. Our hands drifted to places on each other's bodies that they had never drifted before. And for one night, one shameless night, we molded together as one. The passion between us both...It was unlike anything I had ever experienced in my long lifetime.
