Yuri thrashed against the bed.

"Whats wrong with her!?" Ryu demanded over the phone.

"I have no idea," Sebastian said. Ryu cursed.

"I'm in Japan, with Miki, and we'll be here for the next month," He said. "Your best bet is to call a doctor" Sebastian was about to speak but Yuri screamed. Ryu had ended the call and Sebastian ran up to her.

"Yuri..." He said softly.

"Make it stop!" She said. "It's so painful!" She mumbled, her breathing irregular. His mark glowed on her chest. Sebastian placed his gloved hand on her chest. She seemed to relax. Sebastian shook his head, completely confused.

~o/0\o~

"Are you sure this is our only option?" Ciel asked, sitting in his study. He was unable to focus, his mind on Yuri. He told himself he would be worried about any of his servants if they were in such a state, but still. His feelings towards her were different. They weren't the same feelings that he knew Sebastian had, they were different sort of fondness. Like the love a son has for his mother. As much as he wanted to hide it, he knew at least Sebastian had noticed. He wasn't sure if Yuri had yet, and he sort of hope she hadn't. He was too embarrassed about his feelings. "Call them and arrange a meeting," Ciel said. "Promise me this will work," Ciel said, sternly looking in Sebastian's eyes.

"I would not lie, my lord, I simply can't" Sebastian responded.

"That's not what I asked" Ciel pointed out.

"That's all I can say" Sebastian admitted before dismissing himself and going to the phone in the hallway. He had a doctor to call.

~o/0\o~

"I came as quickly as I could, where is she?" Madam Red shook the rain off her umbrella before her new butler took her coat and said umbrella.

"Servants quarters, the butler's room" Sebastian answered. Madam Red raised an eyebrow but wasted no time, her hospital bag in her hand. Ciel came out from his study.

"And she just agreed?" He asked, watching as his aunt disappeared up the steps. He wasn't sure if he was happy to see her or not.

"She said that she owed Yuri," Sebastian said. "She's not wrong. If it wasn't for Yuri-"

"My aunt would be dead" Ciel gaze travelled over the new butler. "Who's this?"

"My name is Christopher, my lord. Christopher Rule" He bowed at Ciel. "Her ladyships new butler" Ciel nodded.

"Bard!" The chef came running up. "Please take care of our guest, take him down to the kitchens and offer him a cup of tea" Ciel shot Bard a 'be sure to watch him' look. Bard nodded, acknowledging it. "Sebastian, let's go" Master and Butler made their way up the steps.

"My lord, Sebastian?" Bard said. "Could you inform us when Yuri gets better? We're pretty worried downstairs" For once Sebastian wasn't angry about Bard caring about Yuri.

"We'll tell you news when we get it," Ciel said.

"Thank you, my lord" Bard turned back to the butler. "Now, Christopher, was it? Fancy some tea?"

~o/0\o~

"How bad is it?" Ciel asked Madam Red as she inspected the blood sample. She frowned.

"I'm not sure how to explain this to you. I've only seen this once before" She muttered.

"Whats wrong with her?" Ciel asked.

"The best way to explain it would be to say that her blood is basically attacking itself," She said. "It usually happens when a venom mixes with the blood. The blood force tries to destroy this unknown substance, but it can cause the blood to, ignite? I think that's the best way to describe it" She explained.

"You were talking about a case you had before?" Ciel asked.

"Yes, someone mixed 'demon' blood with a young child's blood stream. It was a toxicant that hadn't been given a name yet, and as far as I know it hasn't yet" She said.

"What happened to that child?" Sebastian asked.

"I don't know. They only had one appointment with me. They stopped coming" Madam Red said.

"Wait, what?"

"The young child was brought in by a teenager, no older than eighteen. I gave my diagnoses and we planned another appointment. Two weeks late, the man's body was found dead on the streets. I never saw the child again" Madam Red said. "But, I will give you the same advice I gave that man. If she does not improve within the week, call me again and I'll see what I can do" She said.

"Why can't you do anything now?" Ciel asked, getting angry.

"Because, my dear, if I intervene now, it might get worse. It needs to be a final resort" She explained.

"What is? What is the final resort?" Sebastian asked.

"Draining her blood stream"

~o/0\o~

"The doctor said to drink up" Sebastian placed the glass to Yuri's lips. The liquid slipped into her mouth and down her neck. "You're dehydrated," He said. She was barely moving but he continues to speak to her as if she could respond. "Are you hungry?" Silence. He sighed, placing down his plate before placing his hand on her forehead. He gasped as images flashed around him. Her memories.

'Haha (mother)? Chichi (father)? Soko ni iru ka (are you there)?' A young girl called, stepping into the house. Sebastian found himself understanding her speech. A younger girl came up from behind her.

'Haha?! Chichi?! Watashi wa kūfukudearu (I'm hungry)!" Sebastian presumed this to be Khun, and the other girl to be Yuri.

"Khun! Nigete wa ikenai (don't run off)!" The only boy said. Yuri carefully stepped inside, placing her school bag by the door, like she did every day after school.

'Haha? Chichi?' Her small feet walked to the kitchen. She gagged at the pool of blood on the floor. Then her gaze went to the body. Her father's body was face down in the blood. Yuri screamed, the sound echoing throughout the small house. The door swung against the wind as Yuri's small feet tried to step past the blood. She stepped out and saw her mother's body hanging from the tree in the garden. Another scream rippled through the house. Ryu and Khun ran out, their feet covered in blood. A gunshot sounded and all three siblings were frozen.

'Wow, you're a good bit fatter than my mistress wants' A man stepped out. 'Suppose it's all the carbs' He had dark eyes that were covered by a fringe. The children could not utter a word as the man pulled a small bottle out of his pocket. 'Sorry if this smells bad, my mistress doesn't want any fuss' Yuri pushed her siblings behind her.

"Per-lise" She said, her english shaky. She was supposed to have a lesson with father today. The man scowled. 'Donn'th hurth thum!' She said. He scowled more.

'Why would I hurt you?' He bent down, grabbing her chin harshly. "You're precious"

~time skip about a month~

'You're doing well!' The man said.

'th-ank y-ou" Yuri stammered. Her english lesson had been gruelling and she hoped now that she could say a few phrases she could learn to ask the chef to give Ryu and Khun more food. Surely Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't care if they gave them more food.

'You're doing great' He smiled. She smiled a little, careful not to stretch her face. She was afraid they'd know if she did. They didn't like her smiling, they said it gave her wrinkles. 'Okay, we'll let's stay at it! You'll improve with time'

~1 year later~

Yuri's hair was styled up, pulling at her scalp.

'You lazy bitch!' Whips rained down on the girl as she tried not to scream out. That would only make Grandfather sir even angrier. He had caught her slouch and he was now punishing her. 'You should be more thankful! We have given you everything, you ungrateful swine!' Yuri lay on the floor, her body aching. She took all the abuse thrown at her. Long after he was done, she lay on the cold kitchen floor, her whole body too sore to move.

'Chichi...? Haha...? What did I do?' Her voice was quiet. 'Did I hurt someone? What did I do to deserve this?' Tears fell down her face. 'It's my birthday, Chichi, Haha, what did I do?' She sobbed quietly on the floor, willing this nightmare of her existence to be over. 'I miss you'

~sometime later (about 6 months)~

The three children ran from the screaming voices and the threats. Ryu pulled his sisters along as they saw the front door. They'd been warned never to open it. Ryu had no other option. If Yuri didn't leave... they were going to kill her... They'd already killed the tutor for taking Yuri to the doctor. Keep running... Keep running... He slipped the key from his pocket and placed it into the door as the voices got closer. He pushed his sisters outside in the snow before closing the door behind him. He locked it again before flinging the key somewhere in the snow. The ran barefooted, in the snow, wearing nothing but night clothes. Yuri had wrapped the thin cloth around her younger sister's shaking shoulders before placing Khun on her own back. The three kept running till they hit the streets of London. They ducked into an alleyway, pushing slowly down. The went to hide behind a large wheely bin but there was a tunnel they hadn't seen behind the large bin. They slipped down before landing with a thud on cold wooden floors. Guns pointed at the children, more than Ryu knew to count, despite being nearly twelve.

'Who're they, boss?' One man asked. The boss stood up. He had dark brown, almost black hair but bright grey eyes.

'Just some beggars' The man said. 'we can bring them back up-'

'Please...' Yuri's voice was weak. She was the only out of the three who spoke good english. 'They're going to kill us if they find us...'

'Not my problem' The man said. 'Sorry kids but-'

'Please...' Yuri persisted. 'I can't go back there... I can't go back to that church-'

'Church?' The man asked, giving the girl his attention.

'Sir, look at her arm' The man bent down before gently picking up Yuri's arm. Barely any weight was on her small frame. A crest was burned onto her skin.

'Fuck...' The man muttered. 'She is one of the victims from that family' He referred to the family in such a venomous way. 'My dear, whats your name?' The urge to say Lily was hard to ignore, as that had been how they had told her she must call herself.

'Yuri' She croaked. The man nodded.

'Well, Yuri, we're gonna take care of you' The man said.

'And Ryu and Khun? The girl asked.

'And your siblings' He said.

'But boss-'

'These children are going to die if we don't help them, we can't just leave them. We don't want another case like...' The man trailed off. 'Are you three hungry?' The nodded. 'Okay, we'll start you off with something simple, try not to shock you too much' He said.

'Whats your name, sir?' Yuri asked, helping her siblings stand. The man paused before bending down in front of her.

'Adam. Adam Sting' Yuri nodded. 'Now, let's get you all something to keep you going, then some clothes and a place to sleep, sound good?' Yuri nodded slowly. 'Good, men, say hello to our new members! Yuri, Ryu and Khun! We'll have 'em trained in no time!'

Sebastian had to take a deep breath as he left her mind. Was that really true? All of this? He looked down at Yuri. Her breathing was becoming regular, but her body was still inflamed. He sat down beside her bedside.

"Have you really suffered that much?"

~o/0\o~

Yuri stood in the bright room, blinking. "Hello?" She called. She knew this couldn't be real, considering that she was in immense pain only moments ago. "Hello-" The lights cut off suddenly. She slowly felt her way around till she felt a small string. She pulled it and the centre of the room lit up. Two dark figures stood in the centre of the room. A man and a woman. Yuri fell back in shock. Yuri closed her fear filled eyes.

"Honey! Knock off the act at once!" A woman's voice shouted among the silence. Yuri quickly opened her eyes. A woman was standing in the centre, where the woman's figure had been. Yuri had never seen anyone so beautiful, besides her own mother. The woman had these beautiful blue eyes, but they weren't light like hers, they were a dark blue. Her hair was deep black and pulled back in a long plate. Moon petals were braided in as well and they glowed in the dim light. She was dressed in a long black dress, with a Ravens crown on her head. She was shouting at a man. His presence was dangerous and Yuri could feel his power emanating, even from the opposite end of the room. The man's eyes were a dark red and they seemed to be piercing through Yuri. His hair was white and a dark red crown sat n his had. He was dressed in dark red and black robes. The woman turned back to Yuri. "I'm sorry, Yuri dear, my husband likes to play tricks" Yuri could only blink.

"My dear, she doesn't know who we are," The man said.

"Oh, my dear! We've probably scared you! This is not how we wanted you to meet us!" The woman said.

"Lilith, dear, you're rambling," The man said. Wait, what? "She gets it now," The man said, pointing to her.

"If you Lillith, that makes you..." Yuri trailed off, trying to keep her mind and thoughts together.

"Lucifer. The ruler of hell"

Somewhere, in all the madness, a table appeared. It had dark red cups and saucers. There was a pot of tea brewing and a large cake in the centre.

"My dear, we did not mean to scare you," Lilith said. "We simply wanted to meet you"

"Why?" Yuri asked. "Ma'am" She added quickly, feeling Lucifer's stare on her back. Lilith shot him a look and he knocked it off.

"There is no need to be formal, we're family!" She said. Yuri looked up at her as if she was mad. "Did our Lucius not tell you?"

"Who is Lucius, ma'am?" Yuri asked.

"I believe that human named him... what was it dear?" She turned back to her husband.

"Sebastian I believe it was," Lucifer said, wiping his mouth. He had devoured half the cake while the two had been talking.

"What about Sebastian?" Yuri asked.

"Don't you know? We're his parents" Yuri's jaw dropped. "My, he really didn't tell you?" Yuri shook her head.

"He probably didn't want to overwhelm her," Lucifer said. Yuri just stared at them in disbelief. "But, that is not why we are here," He said, sitting forward. "We are here to help you" Yuri's shock faded away.

"Why?" She asked. "Why me? Why am I so special?" Lucifer smiled

"From the minute you were conceived, I saw the light you had in you and I knew that one day, my son would find you and he would make you his. The mark on your chest only furthers my point" Lucifer said. "My son loves you, and I know you can make him happy. If you don't"

"My dear, I'm sure-"

"I would never hurt him," She said. "I could never hurt him" Lucifer's eyes seemed to soften.

"I know. That's why we are helping you" He gave her a small smile. A door appeared at the other end of the room.

"Go on" Lilith said. Yuri rose before slowly walking over to the door.

"And Yuri" Yuri turned back to look at Lucifer. "Say hello to our son for us" Yuri smiled.

"I will" She turned back around before opening the door handle.

"Good luck my dear!" Lilith shouted. Yuri smiled before stepping into the dark hallway.

She snapped open her eyes and she nearly jumped when she saw Madam Red leaning over her.

"She's awake!" The woman said. Sebastian was at her side in seconds.

"My dear? Does it hurt? Are you okay? Did you-" She stopped him but smashing her lips against his. She felt Madam red and Ciel leave before she pulled back.

"I couldn't think of a better way to ask them to leave," She said. Sebastian gently stroked her cheek.

"My dear, I was so worried..." He said. She smiled at him. "I'm so glad you're okay"

"I admit, I had a little help there" Sebastian looked at her puzzled. "Someone you know, Lucius" Sebastian's eyes widened.

"How- what- how did you know?" he asked. Yuri giggled, pushing a strand of his hair away from his eyes.

"Your mother and father came to me in what I presume was a dream" She responded. "They told me to tell you they say hi" Sebastian kissed her again. This time, he didn't pull back after a minute. He held her close. His lips moved in sync with hers and she melted under his touch. Her hand ran through his hair while the other interlocked with his. He slowly climbed up on the bed. She found that if she tilted her head to the left, she could deepen the kiss, and she also found she like that. His support his weight with his free hand. He loved her touched against his. She was wearing a thin night shirt and he had taken off his coat and vest. Only thing material rested between the bodies and Sebastian resisted ripping it off and taking her there and then. He wanted her first time to be special, something that was at just the right moment. He was willing to wait for forever if it needed to be. Eventually, he remembered she needed to breathe and pulled himself back. He pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"My dear, can I ask you something?" He said.

"Mhmm" She hummed, gazing into his eyes.

"Is your hair naturally blonde?" Silence. He looked down at her as she avoided his gaze. He released her hand and focused her gaze. "Tell me"

"It was," She said. "When I was younger... Then, when I was brought here... I believe they call it Marie Antoinette syndrome. My hair turned white from the physical and mental pain I was put under. By the time I escape, it was too late to save it. Now, I just dye it"

"I found a bottle of the dye when you fell asleep after the ball at Lord Druitt's" Yuri nodded

"When it's wet, the dye tends to come out, so I usually have to re do it," Yuri said. Sebastian nodded.

"Why didn't you want to tell me?" he asked

"I don't like talking about..." She trailed off. He nodded.

"When we were at Lord Druitt's, he said something about your eyes..." Yuri nodded grimly.

"They... they injected something into my eye, some liquid. It stained them pink. So now, I wear contacts" She explained.

"Why don't you just leave them pink?" he asked.

"The cult that abused me... all their victims have pinks eyes, and they're all dead. I didn't want to end up like them" Tears gathered in Yuri's eyes.

"You won't. You will never end up dead. I will always protect you. Till the day I take my last breath" He kissed her gently. "Get some sleep, my love, you'll need it."

"Please... I don't want to talk about it anymore..." Tears splashed down her cheek.

"You can't bottle it up," Sebastian said, wiping her tears away.

"I'm not helpless..." She muttered. "I don't want to be like I was... I was helpless..." Something clicked inside Sebastian.

"Is that why you don't accept my help?" Silence. "My dear-"

"Promise me something" Her eyes were glistening with tears.

"What is it?"

"Promise me, if I ask you, you'll leave me to sort whats happening" Her voice was weak and her eyes were scared.

"Yuri-"

"Promise me" She sounded desperate and Sebastian was torn. "Please... Sebastian" More tears fell down her face. "Promise me..."

"I promise"

"You won't. You will never end up dead. I will always protect you. Till the day I take my last breath" He kissed her gently. "Get some sleep, my love, you'll need it."

HOLA!

How are you? I'm doing pretty good. A little tired (it's only about 5.30 am here) but other than that good. I put in a little back story plus meeting the in-laws :)))))) In case you're confused, Adam Sting is another gang leader. I mentioned him in the first chapter. More back story will be released as the story goes on.

I just want to make sure y'all know this takes place in the Victorian era. Not sure if I made that clear.

As for now, tell me what you thought and if you enjoyed it. Thanks for all the comments and love.

Goodbye Pixies,

Fairy OUT!
