Lucy's POV

I whip my left leg out at Ashe. Just barley, he misses it.

"Your in over your head, little girl." He says to me.

"I can hold my own." I say, looking the damned angel in the eyes. He draws his sword, and lashes it out at me. I dodge side to side, barley missing it with every stroke. I pluck out a few of my black feathers from my right wing, and throw them at him like Sebastian does with his knifes. All but one hit the angel-straight in the chest. Anger rages across Ashe's face. Quick as lightning, he lunges at me in the air. His hands cuff tightly around my neck. As I feel one hand come off of my neck- I feel something crack in my wing. The angel throws me to the bridge like a piece of scum you're trying to flick off your gloves. As I land I slide across the bridge on my back. I come to a stop as my head hit's a spare metal bar. Sebastian helps me up with his remaining arm and says,

"Please keep an eye on my Yong Master while I squash this vermin."

"O-ok," I say, "But how are you going to-"

"Leave it all to me." He says. "And thank you for all of your efforts." He walks toward the Angel-I walk over to Ciel-whom has his eyes closed.

"Why are your eyes closed?" I ask him.

"Sebastian told me to close him. He said he doesn't want to damage my impression of him." Ciel tells me. Stiffly, I sit next to him on the ground. I now take notice to the blood oozing out of my back and head. I turn to face Ciel- so no blood will drip on him. I look over to Sebastian.

"Now then," He says to the angel, "You'll get to see my true form." As he walks toward Ashe, black feathers, different than mine, cloud around him. "It's unsightly," Sebastian continues, "Disgusting, repulsive. But it is my true form." The sound of his footsteps changes-like clanking metal. Terror storms over Ashe's face.

"A-a demon." He says. The feathers clear, and I see Sebastian's true form. My eyes stretch wide at the sight. Thank goodness I'm half angel! I think as I eye Sebastian. I slowly turn around, not wanting to look at the scene anymore. I'm going to be haunted with nightmares for years to come! I hear Ashe scream in agony, and strong gusts of wind. The bridge begins collapsing. Ciel slides toward the end. I let myself slide in the same direction-in order to get to Ciel. Just as he is about to fall off the side into the river, I catch him by the wrists.

"Master," Sebastian calls to him. "Can you last long enough for me to count to ten?"

"Yes." Ciel replies. I dig the toes of my metal boots into the bridge.

"Just hold on!" I say to Ciel. "I promise I won't drop you." He nods his head-still keeping his eyes closed.

"And here we go." I hear Sebastian say. "Ten, nine, eight," I hear something squirt and gash.

"No, wait," I hear Ashe plead.

"Seven." Sebastian continues counting.

"Unwanted, useless, evil." Ashe says.

"Six, five, four,"

"Filthy, defiled,"

"Three,"

"Filthy, filthy, filthy, filthy," Ashe repeats over and over.

"Two!" I now hear Ashe's screams of agony. "One." Sebastian finishes counting. A huge flash of light streams and bulbs out. Then, just like that, everything is calm. I hear footsteps coming my way. Taking a nervous gulp, I look over my shoulder. To my relief, it's Sebastian in his human form. "It's over now, master." He says to Ciel. Ciel smiles at him-weird. Making sure he has a good grip on the side of the bridge, I let go of his wrists. Just as I step back, Ciel lets go, and plunges down into the river. As he falls, I see Ciel's cinematic record appear.

"NO!" I scream as he crashes down below the surface of the water. I see Sebastian dive in after him- I do the same. I put my arms over my face as I break through the surface of the cold water.

As I swim down after Ciel, Sebastian grabs hold of him. I turn upwards, and follow them back up to the surface. I take a long breath of air as my head breaks the surface of the water.

"My, my," Sebastian says, "The angel has completed it." Looking at the bridge-I see what he means. In the very middle that was unfinished is Ashe's corpse. "Now the bridge truly is…holy." I smirk and say,

"In one sense or another." We head back to the shore and in seconds, Sebastian shows up with a gondola. I put Ciel(who's passed out) in the middle. Sebastian rows on one end, and I sit on the other-now back in my human form. We ride down the river and under the bridge. A heavy fog cover the water, and I see nothing.

After about five minutes of blinding white mist, the fog clears to reveal a mysterious body of water.

"Where are we?" I ask Sebastian.

"We're heading for a special island. It has been precious to demons for countless centauries, and it is where the last chapter shall end." Understanding exactly what he means, I begin to cry waterfalls. I look down at Ciel, who's now in a black suit with a white rose in the pocket-he opens his eyes. "Master," Sebastian says, "I see you have awoken." I turn around so Ciel won't see my cry.

"Where is this?" He asks Sebastian. "Where are we?"

"You wish to know?" He asks Ciel.

"Why else did I ask?" He responds. "No," Ciel says all of the sudden, "Now that I think about it, I do not. I feel as though I've been asleep for such a long time." I look down at the water. In it I see Ciel's cinematic record. I see a women wearing red being killed by Grell, Ciel being kidnapped, Ciel in a…dress? And many more of his memories. "What's this?" He asks Sebastian.

"It is your cinematic record. Apparently it came to meet you." He's looking at the water too. More tears stream down my face.

"I see," Ciel says numbly. "This is my life. This is how I lived. But…I'm dead now." I put my head in between my knees to muffle the sounds of my crying.

"No not yet." Sebastian says. "Though death will come to claim you soon, Young Master. And I shall be here to the end."

"You did leave, you know." I manage to choke out.

"You're here too, Lucy?" Ciel asks me.

"Of course I am." say, wiping my eyes. I turn to face him. "I still need to say goodbye." He looks back down at the water.

"Knowing Elizabeth, she'll be quite unhappy." He says.

"Yes," Sebastian agrees, "Lady Elizabeth's love for you runs quite deep. But she is among many whom care for you." I see him look over at me.

"Oh yes," Ciel continues, "She was a sobbing mess when Madam Red died, too." I see the cinematic record showing the same women with red hair-that I saw was killed by Grell.

"Was she a relative?" I ask.

"Yes-mine and Elizabeth's aunt." Ciel replies.

"You and Lizzy are…related?" I say.

"You say it as if it's uncommon." Ciel says to me. "And the servants," Ciel says, directing his attention back at Sebastian, "Are they dead?"

"Well," Sebastian says, "They were breathing the last time I saw them."

"You must admit, they are uncommonly stubborn." Ciel says.

"You say that as if it's uncommon." I joke.

"And Pluto?" He asks Sebastian.

"I can connect his bones later." Sebastian says.

"His bones," Ciel says, "No. What real meaning do bones have? Everything.."

"Everything." Sebastian repeats. Little green dots begin floating past us in the air.

"No, never mind. Everything isn't important." Ciel says.

"What are these little dots in the air?" I ask.

"The thoughts of the many people who have passed through the Young Master's life." Sebastian says. "The warm regards they held him in."

"All the people's feelings, huh?" Ciel comments. "They're nice."

"Nice?" Sebastian asks.

"Yes. I can leave them without loneliness and sadness. But…it's still…it's still nice." Sebastian hands Ciel a diary. "What is this?"

"Oh it's just a little something I brought along." He says to Ciel. "To keep you occupied. A diary Tanaka left behind before departing."

"It's from Tanaka?" Ciel asks. "So that angel actually did know something after all." He says after reading part of it. "She wasn't just making it all up."

"And what now, Young Master?" Sebastian asks.

"There's nothing left to do. My targets are all gone." Ciel says. "Besides which-just take a look at me. I'm gone." Tears well up in my eyes once more. A crescent shaped island comes into view. We dock the boat, and walk out in the island. With his remaining arm, Sebastian carries Ciel. I walk numbly beside them. We walk into what looks like an old stone building with no roof.

"We're here, Master." Sebastian says as he sets Ciel down on a stone bench in the middle of the little area.

"So this is where it ends." Ciel says.

"Yes." Sebastian replies.

"What about that bird?" Ciel asks. Looking up at the top of a wall I see a black crow.

"I will see to it." Sebastian says.

"Maybe you can give it whatever's left of my soul." He says to Sebastian.

"As kind as ever." Sebastian says.

"So will it hurt?" He asks.

"It will a bit." Sebastian says. "I'm sorry. But I will try ever to be gentle-"

"No." Ciel interrupts. "Be as brutal as you want. Etch the pain into me-it's proof that I had a life worth living." Sebastian gets down on one knee and says,

"Indeed, My Young Lord." Tears shining in my eyes, I walk up IN FRONT OF Ciel and say,

"This is it. Goodbye Ciel."

"You don't have to cry." He says.

"I want to. If it wasn't for you, Ciel, I would still be isolated in my Manor. I don't care if my past was a lie-you gave me a purposeful future. And I want to tell you, before you pass on," I crouch down and look him in the eyes, "I love you-with all my heart. I couldn't say anything after I met Lizzy, for your and her sake. But I wanted to tell you before you left." He looks at me with somewhat of a smile and replies,

"Glad to know, thank you." He says to me. He rests his head on the back of the stone bench. I step back as Sebastian removes his glove with his teeth. I stare at his black-nailed hand as it brushes across Ciel's face-removing his eye patch.

"Keep it." Ciel says to me. I grab his eye patch off the floor and nod. A steady flow of tears streams down my face. Ciel closes his eyes as Sebastian looms over him and says,

"And now, Master."
