Episode Three

Cissy POV

A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. Dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east. I Sighed as I sat in the tall green tree, just outside the estate. It's been just over a fortnight since I arrived here and was reunited with my brother, and despite such acceptance from him, Sebastian and the other servants, I seemed to feel lonelier then ever and to top off the horrible loneliness, I seemed to be coming down with something. I felt so very sick all the time and I seemed to be throwing up round the clock.

I looked up at the sky and smiled, this spot had become my sacred sanctuary of sorts... The pale stars were now sliding into their places. The whispering of the leaves were almost hushed. all about them it was still and shadowy and sweet. It was that wonderful moment when, for lack of a visible horizon, the Sky was not yet darkened, when the world seemed infinitely greater, a moment when anything can happen.

"My lady?" I looked down, and saw Samantha standing at the bottom of the tree, a warm smile on her face.

"What is it Samantha?" I asked giving her a small smile.

"Well, my lady, your brother wishes for you to come in so that you may share the evening meal with him... if you prefer however, I can go tell him that you are not hungry." She suggested and shaking my head, I climbed down from the tree and stood beside her.

"I don't mind eating with Ciel." I said and made my way back into the manor.

When I entered, Sebastian was standing at the door to greet me. Taking a bow, he led me to the dinning room, where Ciel was sitting at the large table sipping a glass of wine. He smiled at me when I entered and I returned the smile as I sat down. Sebastian and Samantha brought us our food and we began to eat as they went to draw bath water. I took a bite and as usual, the food was delicious. I continued to eat and sip at the wine Sebastian had given me. I wasn't the biggest fan of wine but after a few sips, it made my sickness feel better and I felt more relaxed.


Samantha POV

I walked a bit behind Sebastian as we walked through the halls of the manor, on our way to fill our masters baths, despite trying not to, I couldn't help but watch him thoughtfully, as we walked... we separated and I went and filled the young lady's bath, after I drew her bath, I headed to my room and sat at my desk, Cissillia liked to bathe herself, so i have a bit of time to myself before its time to get her ready for bed.

As I sat and thought, my mind drifted to the demon butler, who's room resided so close to mine and I sighed, Why is it that I still care? After all these years... over one thousand years and I still care... maybe it's because I'm weak, or maybe not but for whatever reason, I couldn't seem to let it go...


(Flashback)

~Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another, and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.

When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.

There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A letter or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby.

Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart, knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.

You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.~

"Why?" The girl began trembling as she looked into her friends eyes, which had gone dark from lack of a soul, "Why must you leave?"

He tilted his head slightly to the left and said with a sigh, "I apologize, but I need you to see, I know this doesn't make any sense now but someday you will see that this is for the best... I do not belong with humans anymore... I just don not belong."

"I hate him." The girl growled as thick wet tears filled filled her saddened brown eyes and the young raven haired boy in front of her sighed.

"Emilyne... it is not his fault... I sold my soul, and if you think about it, you should be thankful I did... if I had not I would have never met you right?" He asked and sighing, she reluctantly nodded but still continued to let the tears flow from her eyes.

He smiled sadly and taking a step toward her, he wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug. "It's not fair!" She cried into his chest as she gripped the young nineteen year olds shirt as he ran his cold pale fingers through her hair.

"Em? You should know by now, that life is not fair... we try and smile and be as happy as we can be but in the end, we all must pay our debt for each smile and every laugh " he whispered and she nodded. "Well... I better get going, I shall he hungry soon for my very first soul and I want to be far away from you when I do get hungry." The young man said as he pulled away and she nodded and with that, he turned and ran into the dark thick forest, leaving his only friend all alone to fall to her knees and cry into the dark red sunset lit sky.

She laid there for what felt like years simply crying, he'd been all she'd had left and now he was gone. "You know? I could help you." The brown haired girls head suddenly snapped up and she growled at the man in front of her.

"You..." she spat at the man, "You're the one who did this to him..." the man just nodded with a large smirk on his face.

Seeing no reason not to ask, she asked, "How... how can you help me?"

The man only continued to smirk as he said. "I could make you one as well."

"A demon?" She questioned and at his nod, she knew that she'd much rather live a long sinful life with the man that she loves and go to hell, then a blessed short one without him and go to heaven.

"Hurry up and get it done with." She snapped and nodding he licked his lips and took a step toward me.

(End Flashback)


Samantha POV

"Are you okay Samantha?" My head snapped up and I looked at Cissillia with a sigh.

"Yes I am quite alright my lady, I just got distracted... I am terribly sorry my lady." I said and she shrugged and holding up her hair brush she asked with a smile, "Would you like to brush my hair?"

Nodding, I stood up and went and sat on the bed and she came and sat in my lap and taking the brush, I began to brush her smooth, long hair.


Ciel: OH MY GOD, THAT WAS...

Me: Simply amazing.

Ciel: *Looks at Sebastian* You were a human...

Sebastian: Uh... yeah...

Ciel: TELL ME HOW IT ALL HAPPENED!

Sebastian: Sorry my lord, but I mustn't reveal the story.

Ciel: *looks at me with panic* Hurry and update.

Me: Okay, I'll do my best. *looks at readers. REVIEW PLEASE...
