Rachel backs away and stares at me with shock. "Y-you are!?" she asked her eyes glittering as only a demons can. I nod and take her hand in mine. She smiles and starts to drag me over to a group of people. I realize that Ciel was there. I find more eyes on my when I arrive. "Excuse me for a second." Ciel notified stepping away from the group. I avoid looking into his eyes as he talks. "Do you need something?"
Rachel looks over at me. I look up keeping my eyes off of Ciel. "Rachel told me that I was right. She did make a contract with Claude and….he turned her into a demon." I quickly add on "Are you going to freeze again?" Ciel shook his head and look down at Rachel right when her eyes flash with a demon red. Rachel hid behind me and I bent down and picked her up with ease. Ciel just stood there staring but he was not frozen just standing there. With a look of degust I turned around and lead Rachel over to Sebastian who was serving some food to a couple sitting on a couch. I placed Rachel back on the ground and told her "We are going to have to tell Sebastian about you okay?" she looks up at me and replies "But what if he does not understand and thinks I am a freak." I look at her in shock and see that her eyes are filling up with tears. I tell her to stay where she is while I go tell him. She nods.
I causally walk over to Sebastian who looks up. "Is there something wrong Miss Ella?" He asks walking back to the kitchen. "Well kind of. Rachel she spilled out her guts to me. She is a demon and Claude was her butler."I see that Sebastian already knew. Before he could tell me anything I add "And Rachel thinks that you would not understand and that you will think she was a freak." This got Sebastian's attention. He looked over at Rachel who was sitting on the stairs. He looked the same as when he looks at a couple of cats. I find him walking over to her. I follow impatiently.
When Rachel sees us approaching she rises off the steps and looks down at her feet. I walk in front of Sebastian and motion for him to wait. "Hey I talked to Sebastian. I think he wants to talk to you." I point out lowering to her height. She looks up at me and sighs. "I guess I will talk to him." I smile and look over at Sebastian standing there waiting. He nods and hurries over. I squeeze Rachel's arms slightly. I walk away just as Rachel starts talking to him. I see that Ciel is staring at me. I roll my eyes and turn my back to Ciel who I can sense is still staring at me.
All of a sudden a hand was placed on my shoulder. I quickly turn to see Ciel standing next to me. I refuse to look in his eyes so I look down at my shoes trying not to show how irritated I am. It showed. "Ella why are you so mad at me? Is it because I was still in shock when you started having a coughing fit?" He asked placing his hand under my chin forcing me to look straight at him. His other hand slid down my arm sending shiver through my body. "No I am mad at you because…..because you seemed more shocked that a girl who you barely know is a demon but you were fine when you found out that your girlfriend was forced to live in hell as a contractor for god knows how long!" I exclaimed not realizing that my voice rose a bit but not enough that anyone heard me. I backed away from Ciel who just looked sad.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When I reopened them I saw Ciel opening his mouth to speck but closed not sure what to say. Finally he explained "The only reason I did that was because I knew that you were strong but Rachel she is a little girl she must be scared to death. Her parents just died it is hard for her." I stood there shell shocked. I licked my dry lips and trying not to scream said "You think I was not scared!? I do feel sorry for Rachel but do you ever stop to think about how I feel? My parents got shot, I got stabbed god knows how many times, I have no one left in my family, I was dragged down to hell to become a contractor, I was almost eaten by cannibals, My own maid tried to kill me and my best friend tried to kill me not to mention that I had to murder him." I stopped to take a breath. "And for what? So that my boyfriend can completely ignore the fact that I am a total screw up and that I basically cry myself to sleep ever night because I have nobody to share my grief with?" Tears weld up in my eyes and I quickly ran off before I started to ball my eyes out in front of a crowd of people. I did not stop until I was in my room sitting on my bed with the door locked. I felt a sudden wave of sadness fall over me. I buried my head in my arms and prayed that I wake up from this nightmare.
