... -waits for someone to ruin it-
Oh my goodness. -crying- Thank you all so much! At first I thought this story would be a failure- and I thought of stopping this story, and that nobody would review, but when people actually... followed, reviewed and favorited, it made me realize that I... will continue. I am SO sorry for the delays, peeps, I know I should focus on this story and this one only, but still. I have exams in two weeks and my whole class is behind Math and Science. I'm getting a C on math. Kill me now. That is the most depressing thing EVER. D:

Anyway, sorry for the long author's note, but thank you ALL so much! Even if you don't review, I would still like to thank you ;w;.

" Time is flying by
The only moment is now...
The only moment is now
Feel that everything is real
Everything is real in the dream

Going on a trip to somewhere I've never been
Across time and space
Time and Space, Time and Space
Time and Space, Time and Space"
-Historia Crux-

"But before I leave, Evarisse, I will give you another rewarding gift," she smirked, and with the last of her soul and power, she marked Evarisse.

Eva gasped as she felt a deep, scorching pain from the top of her right eye brow down to her lower eyelid. Gasping, she fell to the ground, one eye closed and the other dilating as she desperately tried to register into her brain what had just happened. She lifted a hand up and touched her right eye. It was bleeding. No, the cut was causing it to bleed. She panted and gasped for air before smirking, "I'll let this stay on my face," she stated, standing back up and smirking at where the Witch once stood, "I'll remember you."

Unknown to Eva, Sebastian was desperately calling out her name. He was becoming more translucent and less opaque. He was slowly disappearing and returning to the world where he belonged. Eva couldn't hear him at all. He could watch as his vision of her, standing proud, slowly disappeared.

Sebastian awoke with a jolt. He blinked twice before sitting upwards in his rather stiff bed and looked around. He had a confused look on his face, 'What.. just happened..?' he inwardly asked himself. He glanced around once more. It was still night time, and judging by how the moon was almost gone from his vision, it was almost time for the sun to be up. He clenched his teeth. Was all that just a dream, or was it real? It was almost like he'd traveled through space in his dream though. Everything felt so... real. Was this what humans called a 'lucid' dream?

He shook his head, running his long fingers through his raven black hair. In his dream... Eva had become a Witch. Something she'd never wanted to be, but had to become in order to take out her revenge successfully; and by doing this, she needed to defeat Allia. Something then clicked in his head. If Allia was dead, then her little entrance to another world would be gone too, right?

Sebastian let out a sigh as he stood up and out of his bed, fixing his pristine white shirt. He got out a pair of pants, took off his pyjamas and quickly slid them on. There was only one way to find out if he was right or not, and the only way was to check. He quickly got a pair of socks and slid them on before taking his shoes that weren't so fascinating to his eyes. He tugged his shoes on before walking over to the window, a thin line on his face as the clouds covered the moon. Sebastian opened the window, letting a breeze sweep his room, the curtains fluttering before launching out to find the rock boulders. He had of course, known where he was going.

The tall, handsome butler stood on a thick tree branch with a surprised look on his face as he stared at the spot where the once perfect stone boulders were.

The stone boulders and doors were now crumbled into miniature chunks. Dust flew around every now and then. It seemed almost as if someone had broken these boulders themselves and crushed them into tiny rocks. The stones were now just pieces of debris, they held no significance. Even the large amount of Magical Power had left. This could only mean one thing...

His dream was real.

He had somehow got himself to travel through something like the astral plane and made his way to another world in an almost translucent form. Even his presence was faint... so faint that even one of the most powerful ex-Witches couldn't notice him until something sounded from near him. Suddenly, he felt something he thought he could never feel again.

Joy.

He had long since forgotten that feeling, and it was quite a shocker to know that he could still feel. Why was he joyful, though..? He couldn't help but smile. The two children wouldn't be tormented any longer, along with himself. He would tell them tomorrow- no, today that Evarisse was still alive. But where was she? Doubt filled his mind though he desperately tried to ignore it. His smile faltered and he urged the feeling away. If Eva came back, would she still be the same? Or would she take advantage of all her new powers- not to mention her over powered title as a Witch.

He then turned around. Now was not the time to think about it. When the day came, and she came back, he would know.
Until then, he would wait for her.

Like he always did.

"Sweetie..."

"..Guuu~ten morgen!"

Her mother chuckled at her cuteness before giving her a serious look.

"Remember this, Elice..." The golden haired woman said, her beautiful dark, teal eyes glowing under the sun's spear of light. She had her hair pinned up, a few loose blond locks falling beside the right side of her face. Her bangs were naturally down as she bent over to look her daughter in the eye. "You might not remember what I am telling you now, but please," she let out a soft, warm laugh, "try for me, Elice dear..."

"Okay, mama!" The brunette beamed back happily, her dark green eyes filled with innocence and curiosity.

"Never lose faith in yourself, and never doubt. Think straight, keep your head high, don't let words bring you down and stay strong. When you grow up, I want you to become a beautiful, fine woman, okay?" Lisolette smiled at her daughter before looking down, "Don't be like me... Don't run away..." she whispered in a sad tone.

Elice smiled, "It's alright Mama! Like Daddy would always say: 'There is always room for mistake, and thus there is always room for corrections'!" She giggled to herself, "El won't r...run..?" she looked up at her mom, who nodded, "El won't run away!"

Lisolette smiled, "Once you're older, we can sneak out of Paradise and go visit my family, okay?" She chuckled, "And you have a good, large use of vocabulary! Good-good, El!"

"Wow, good-good El! Ahahaha!" The five year old child giggled, lifting her arms up.

Loud shuffles could be heard within Luna's and Ciel's room. Luna, who was currently frustrated while being awake at six in the morning, was continuously rolling from left to right, and the object which seemed to be blocking her way to her right was none other than Ciel. The young Phantomhive boy also seemed to be irritated by Luna's continuous shifting. Luna had created herself a annoying pattern. Roll to the right, hit something solid, roll to the left, fall off a cliff, roll to the right, hit a solid body, roll to the left and fall off the bed. This pattern was repeated over, and over, and over until the ex-Earl woke up, his eyes glowing red. He turned around to face Luna, who was currently rolling over to the right, and gripped her left cheek.

"O-o-ow-ow-ow!" She cried as her cheek was being pulled, squeezing her eyes shut. When he stopped, she reopened them and stared angrily into his shimmering red eyes. "You!" She growled before forcefully opening his mouth. She took her other hand and lifted it up, curling a few fingers so only her index, middle and ring finger stood up. "How badly do you want me to gag you!"

Ciel glared at her before smirking. Grabbing her hand and putting it on his shoulder, he leaned in closer to her face, which was now turning into a bright, red color. "Good morning, love," he greeted her, feigning sweetness.

Luna cringed, "You disgust me." She firmly stated, letting go of his chin and pushing herself away from him.

Ciel let out an amused chuckle, "Soon, but not now. And that is quite rude of you to say, so early in the morning. Is that how you greet everyone? You won't even greet me in such a sweet manner?"

"No, Ciel," Luna rolled her eyes, "I will not greet you in a sweet, disgusting manner. Why, do you want me to come up to you every morning and go like 'Good morning sweetie, I love you by the way-' wait..." Luna paused. "No, never mind, that is... weird for a 'good morning'."

Ciel frowned, his eyes turning back to normal, his eyes half-lidded, "Can't you just say 'Good morning' back?"

Luna pursed her lips for a moment and gave his idea some thought before smiling. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a soft, sweet hug. "Guten morgen, Ciel..." she greeted him back, her voice like a whisper.

Ciel smirked, "Much better," he admitted plainly as he pulled away and covered his mouth to cover an incoming yawn.

Luna shifted around once more, recalling her dream. It was about her Mama... but why? She shook the thoughts away once she heard gentle knocking on the entrance of their room.

She flushed red. She was in bed with Ciel beside her. The person would get the wrong idea-!

"Come in."

Luna turned to Ciel, her face beet red. He only smirked at her knowingly, "No worries, dear, it's only Sebastian." He tried to reassure her as Sebastian walked into the room with a surprisingly bright smile on his face.

"But..!" She pouted, glaring at Ciel before turning her attention to Sebastian. A small smile crossed her face, "Guten Morgen, monsieur."

Sebastian rose an eyebrow, "German and French? What an interesting person you are, Luna."

"Thank you..." She bowed her head. A few familiar words nagged her head, a voice that she had recalled hearing nine years ago coming back as well.

"Good-good, El! Good-good, Elice!"

She flinched before looking down and smiling. "Good-good El..." She muttered under her breath.

Ciel twisted his head to look at her, her face facing downwards. He noticed that her cheeks were somewhat rosy. He half-smiled, figuring that he liked that color on her.

"My lord," Sebastian began, looking over to his Young Master, "and my lady Luna," he averted his eyes to the brown haired girl. She looked up expectantly with a confused look on her face.

"Me?" She pointed at herself.

Ciel rolled his eyes, "No, not you. The other one."

"Oh okay." She flatly said before stretching her arms and laying down in her bed- or... well... their bed.

Ciel could've sworn a nerve just popped. "You imbecile! I'm talking about you!"

"Oh." Luna sat back up with an embarrassed look on her face, "Yeah, go on..."

Sebastian smiled, closing his eyes, "It seems that what you've witnessed yesterday, Eva's death, was a fluke. She is alive and moving."

Luna gasped excitedly, her eyes gleaming to the brim with joy, "Really? Is she here?"

Sebastian sucked in a breath of air, "No."

A disappointed look washed over Luna, her eyes narrowing down at nothing. "But then..." She slowly began, her voice coming out as soft and quiet as a whisper, "you said..."

Sebastian closed his eyes, a frown on his face, "She is not here, but she is somewhere else. Knowing her, she'll soon be coming back to us." He said this without hesitation. He knew her. He knew about how she acted, he knew her favorites and he knew most likely everything about her more than she does herself. He knew her more than anyone did.

"I... I see..." Luna had a stern look on her face, though it looked as if she had just swallowed something hard that she couldn't eat.

"Don't let this sadden you, Luna," Ciel sat up from the bed, taking the bed sheets off him before standing up.

Luna looked up at Ciel, "A-Alright..." She clenched her teeth. Now she was feeling excited. Once she saw Eva again, she would hug her. That was her plan once she saw Eva.

"And," Sebastian smirked, "get ready. Today is the last day we'll be spending her."

Ciel rose an eyebrow, "Have you already found the killer, Sebastian?" he queried his butler, not wanting this to be a false alarm of any sort.

"No," Sebastian answered, looking at his master's disappointed eyes, "but I have found information. Someone has just died. I have discreetly investigated the site of the murder and have found out that once again, the body was mutilated and cut with a sharp string. The end of the string was covered in blood, and it couldn't possibly be the victim's blood. Judging from that girl we saw back then- Erika, was it? Her hands were bandaged."

"And what if what she was telling us was the truth?" Ciel stood up, pulling Luna with him.

"Well, young master," Sebastian smiled, tilting his head, "nobody else in this village seems to have cut their hands. I have seen some burns from the... 'Witch hunt' from the previous night on their hands, but honestly, they were small burns."

"I see..." Luna broke in, her eyes narrowed. "Then this investigation will end today and..? How will everyone know the crime was solved by us?"

"Sebastian," Ciel smirked, "will send the Queen- or one of the Scotland Yard a letter saying that we have found the mysterious killer. Of course, I shan't write our names down. I shall write the letter 'X' instead."

"Genius!" Luna complimented the dark haired boy, sticking her thumb up at Ciel.

"Aren't I?" Ciel rose his chin up high, a crazy smirk on his face.

She frowned. He was narcissistic in a way, now wasn't he?

"Now," Sebastian smiled, "if we could get going..."

"The fog is so thick..." Luna whined as she walked down the long, winding street. Many people had piled up and had started to do their daily jobs. The town of Letum was always odd weathered. From foggy to just clear, sunny days with crisp, cold wind. It seems the townspeople have got used to their presence, as they seemed to not mind them as they sold hard-to-find crops of such and such. The artisans were gathered in a bunch near one of the crafting stores. They all seemed to be... lively for this time of day.

Neither of the demons responded to her as they continued to walk down the path. The short demon preferred silence after all. The older demon seemed to be thinking things through.

"Does she really live near here, Sebastian?" Luna queried, looking up at Sebastian with wide eyes.

"Yes, I am sure." He responded stiffly, a firm, stoic look on his face.

"How did you even manage to find her?"

"Simply because," Sebastian's firm look softened into one of pride, "I am one hell of a -no," he smirked, "now is not the time. Maybe after this."

The young girl only furrowed her eyebrows. Her eyes wandered from the tall butler to the short one. She examined his face. He seemed pretty serious- and relieved. Was it because the quest was ending?

Ciel turned to look at her with a winning smirk on his face, "Do I look that attractive to your eyes?"

Luna could almost strangle him. "Oh, yes, totally. I mean, look at you," she pointed at his chest, "you're so manly... and muscular... and all... nothing compared to Sebastia-haha-n..." She began to laugh at her own sarcasm. Though Ciel was a boy, he certainly did have some feminine attributes to him, but then again, that's one of the reasons why Luna liked him in the first place.

He seemed unnerved by her comment. He glared at her from the corner of his eye, "That was rather rude of you."

Luna didn't say anything. Instead, she stopped dead and watched as a familiar, blonde haired, brown eyed girl ran past them.

"H-Hey! Wait up, Andre!" The girl wailed, her dark, blue, worn out dress fluttering as she desperately tried to find a person through the thick fog. She narrowed her eyes, "Andre! Come back! Mom will get mad!"

Sebastian took this as a chance to strike. He walked up to her casually and tapped her shoulder.

The girl looked over. Her face was scrunched in confusion, the confusion turning into surprise and realization. "Oh it's you!" She giggled, "What was your name again?"

"Sebastian," he introduced himself, bowing.

The two younglings from behind him walked up, Ciel with a indifferent look on his face while Luna plastered a fake smile on.

"Hi!" Luna greeted, lazily waving a hand.

"Hello... umm..." the child fumbled with her fingers, trying to remember her name, "L-Lu...Lucy?"

Luna giggled, "No, it's Luna! Close though!"

"And..." She looked at the dark haired boy. Her face turned red. "Ciel right? I'm Erika!" Her eyes turned wide as she neared him.

Ciel unconsciously backed away from her, "Yeah."

Luna blinked.

"Do you need help finding someone?" Sebastian patiently asked the girl as he eyed his young master, who seemed uncomfortable with the girl's closeness.

"Yes," Erika smiled, turning around, "My little brother Andre. He was just here..." she pretended to search form him before backing into Ciel's chest, "but I can't find him..." she seemingly purred.

Luna's eyes widened, her eyebrows furrowing. Her mouth fell into an open frown as she shuddered. "Oh-God-Why-!" She pretended to cough. The fact that she was stuck onto him like glue was slowly annoying her. Why? She didn't know.

Sebastian silently chuckled at the two's faces.

"Can you help me find him, sir?" The girl who looked about ten smiled innocently up at Ciel.

Luna ran over to Sebastian, urging him to lean towards her. When he did, she whispered something to him.

"Harlot."

This made Sebastian chuckle for a moment.

Luna giggled for a moment before yelping as Sebastian whacked her head.

Sebastian cleared his throat, "That is unbecoming of you, my lady."

"Oh, who cares, right?" She giggled, touching her head.

Ciel made a 'tsk' noise, glaring at the couple before him. His eye then refocused onto the girl clinging onto him. A cold smile washed onto his face, "You know, I hate clingy girls."

Erika wasn't fazed. Instead, she giggled and stepped back. "Yes, sir!"

"E-Erika!" A boy's voice echoed. Just then, a small boy with blonde hair ran their direction, making his way through the thinning fog. He wore a simple shirt and a pair of dark shorts, his pretty hazel brown eyes shimmering when his eyes found that people were around his sister.

Luna twitched. She had expected the boy to be younger than Erika... but it seems she was wrong. He seemed older by a few years. His age... 16? 15? She wasn't sure. She realized that the boy was staring at her. She clenched her fists, biting her lip. She had a terrible feeling.

For a moment, she could've sworn that he had a smirk on his face, but it was just for a vague moment. She didn't know for sure. The young girl felt mistrust already between the two siblings. The girl of all people, was already on their suspicion list. They could not afford to let their guard down.

"There you are!" Andre grinned sheepishly at his sister.

"I thought you were finding him," Sebastian firmly stated.

"Yeah, but I guess he found me first." Erika smiled.

The two siblings seemed to look at each other with a wicked smile before turning to the three.

"Hey," Erika smiled, "would you all like to come to our house?"

"Err-!" Luna was going to respectfully decline this until Ciel spoke up.

"Yes, of course."

Luna clenched her teeth, inwardly screaming at him.

Sebastian seemed indifferent as he watched the new situation unfold in his eyes. He frowned. Though today would be an interesting day, he felt as if Claude had just came back- no, he still was alive, so he felt that Claude had just appeared and punched his gut. Was it because of Eva..?

"Come, come!" Erika grinned, giving some distance- some meaning a few centimeters distance away from the young Phantomhive.

Andre also seemed to stick to Luna.

The said girl felt annoyed. She briefly turned her head to face Ciel, who happened to stare back at her at the same time. She cringed her nose and pretended to slit her throat with her hand. Ciel silently chuckled and smirked. He gave her a small wink, watching as her expression faded into an amused, reassured one. She turned her head away and closed her eyes.

Her heart... was beating unusually fast.

She bit her lip again and ignored it.

"This is our house!" Erika beamed, pointing at the small, almost-shack-like house.

Luna flinched. Seeing the house reminded her of her... rather horrid and recent past. She shuddered.

Andre noticed this. The blonde, messy haired boy who towed her slightly turned to face her, "What's wrong?" He asked her, a questioning look in his eyes.

"U-Um... unpleasant memories." She gulped, feeling uncertain of whether she should enter the house or not.

"A-ah!" Andre smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head, "then would you rather go somewhere else with me?"

Luna was about to say something to Ciel until she noticed that he had already entered the creepy home. She nervously turned to face him, "S-Sure..."

"Alright! Let's go!" he grinned, taking her hand and running off.

Meanwhile in the house, Ciel had noticed Luna had vanished. He narrowed his eye and looked around suspiciously. Andre wasn't here either.

This raised a red flag.

"Where is my lady?" He stiffly and rather angrily asked the young girl.

Erika swiveled around to face him, a smile on her face, "I saw them enter the house. I think they're just playing in the garden," she smoothly replied.

Sebastian frowned. He regret not looking after Luna at the time, now.

Before Ciel could shoot at her another question, Erika frantically got up and tried to find something. Grabbing the first thing she found, she gave to Ciel. "L-Look! It's- umm..." she fumbled with her words. She peered over at it, her eyes widening along with the male demon's.

It was a plan.

Though it was mapped, clearly, on the map, was a bad example of their house and a church which was colored in red. Ciel eyed the map a few more times before it got ripped out of his hands by the girl.

Her face was red with embarrassment, "S-So sorry about that! That's... the church I love going to!" She lied hesitantly.

Sebastian smirked, "Why was it colored in red, if I may ask?"

A twisted grin grew on her face, her eyes wide, "None of your business."

With that, she turned around and hummed, "My mother died, my father died, and everyone else died with a fire and a string~!" She sang, "And now we are the only few left~!"

Luna watched as the boy began fumbling with something in his pocket. They were sitting on stones by the river named Thames. They had managed to get that far out, and Luna was slowly wondering if Ciel and Sebastian even cared for her. She was quiet, and when the boy asked her questions, she only managed a nod and a shaking of the head. Overall, she stayed stoic. She didn't feel familiar with this boy, and she felt that she had no reason to familiarize with him.

"So," Andre began, breaking the awkward silence, but adding more awkwardness to it with his dull question, "tell me who you like out of the two."

She stopped breathing for a moment.

"What?" She said as if out of breath, eying his face.

He smiled, "Do you like the old guy, or the young guy?"

"Um," Luna narrowed her eyes, "I like them as friends."

"Is that so..?" He shuffled closer to her, leaning close to her face. He took a piece of her hair and smelled it, "Then tell me," he whispered, "what type of boy do you like? This type," he smiled sweetly at her, attempting to charm her, "or this type." He aggresively growled, tugging at her hair playfully.

She bristled, clenching her teeth, "None of the above."

"Then, I'll assume you like going in a fast pace..." He leaned in closer to her, reaching into his pockets.

She was about to push him away, only to realize that he had something shiny and familiar in his hands. Her eyes widened.

...

She coughed and sputtered as she felt the sharp object delve into her intestine area.

Andre smirked as her eyes slowly began to roll to the back of her head. He realized that out of all the people he had killed for money, she was the easiest to die. He pushed her body back away from him and grinned. Her bright, red blood began pouring out of the wound as her eyes fluttered closed. He had brought her here because he knew that nobody would look for her body here. It was the most discreet place he could think of. He then hummed and began searching through her small bag, only finding useless things like water and such. He slid a hand through one of the pockets and sneered. He found a small bag which was carrying her money that Ciel had given her this morning and snatched it. With that, he turned around and smiled. "Easy," he commented after her death.

The girl with now, dirty, muddy, blood-stained hair rose up from behind him, the knife still in her intestine area. She looked down, her eyes covered as she took the knife out without hesitation. She didn't even flinch while she was at it. Though her footsteps felt heavy, she tried to use her skills from training to good use. Luna handled the knife in one hand, the other wrenched into a fist onto her dress. As she pulled the heavy piece of cloth up, she quickly ran to him.

The boy turned around with a look of question, only to see the girl rush at him.

She plunged the knife into his heart, watching the scene from her fallen, now messy side bangs. The light in his eyes slowly faded away as he opened his mouth to let out a shrill scream. She covered his scream with her hand. "Shh," she whispered, "now we don't want anyone to know that you've died, no?" She pulled the knife away from his heart roughly, turning around as the boy fell to his knees, his white, long sleeved shirt covered in blood now.

She stopped, tossing the knife into the river, "Sorry, Andre," she apologized, "but you started it first." She looked up, her apple green eyes darker than before as she smiled slightly, fixing her bangs and dress, patting off any dirt from her shoulders as she ignored the annoying pain near her stomach. "Now, to find my way back..." She mumbled before walking away from the scene.

Well, that escalated quickly.
