Episode Four
Ciel POV
I sat in bed with the case folder about those children in my hands. Even more children had gone missing and the queen was getting anxious.
The last two that had gone missing, were a boy and a girl, by the names of Rosa-Lily and Adam-Lee... (No one knew their last names...) they were young, just five and seven. "I swear, I will save those two littles." I muttered to myself as I set my folder on the nightstand and laid my head down but no matter how much I tried, sleep never came, I just simply laid there for what felt like centuries and just thought about everything. This current case... it was unusual... even when I'd had Sebastian look over it, he couldn't think of anything... suddenly I sat up and realization hit me like a stone cold brick and jumping out of bed, I grabbed the folder and made my way out of the room and ran to Sebastian's, as fast as I could.
Sebastian POV
Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see.
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.
Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like "I must leave," turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I was sitting on my bed, simply staring at a book that was obviously not going to get read tonight. Suddenly, there was a knock on my door and the young master entered breathless and looking as though Christmas had come early.
"My lord? May I ask why you are not in bed?" I asked looking at him in minor surprise.
Holding up a case folder, he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Sebastian, when we were looking at this case, we assumed that we'd looked at everyone right?"
I raised an eyebrow, "Are you referring to the case about the children?" I asked and at his nod, I continued, "What about the case do you think I missed?"
He smiled and handing me the folder, he said, "Vampire." I thought for a moment, then realized something that neither of us had noticed before... "None of the children that were ripped apart, were EVER lying in a pool of blood, nor was there ANY blood splatter round the crime scene, which means that either they were murdered in another location..."
"Or someone sucked their blood before they were ripped apart." I nodded, now understanding what he was getting at.
Ciel POV
"Sebastian, I want you to go inform Samantha of the case, then I'll go ask Cissillia if she can come with us to investigate further." I said as I stood up.
He stood up as well and raised an eyebrow "but my lord... aren't you tired?"
I shook my head, "No, I wanna save these two children first." I said and with that, I left the room and went to go see my sister. When I knocked on her door, there was no answer, assuming she was asleep, I entered and saw her slowly sitting up and rubbing her eyes. "Ciel?" She yawned and walking over I nodded and sat on her bed. After giving her a couple minutes to wake up, I began to explain everything to her.
Sebastian POV
As I made my way to Samantha's room, I couldn't help but think about how much harder its gotten to really speak to her, as the memories of our past, come back to haunt us. We'd have to talk about this sooner or later, I knew. However, it seemed that later would be what was to happen for right now, all we will need to be discussing is this case for the Lord. Sighing, I knocked on her door.
It only took mere seconds for her to answer, her long dark hair was braided and hung loosely over her shoulder. Closing my eyes briefly, I reopened them and began to tell her about the case. She seemed genuinely intrigued and opened her door with a smile and we both eventually ended up, sitting cross legged on her bed, across from one another as I told her about the children which were taken and everything to which the young master and I had figured out.
When I was finished, she nodded and stood back up, just as the young master and his sister entered the room. "All four of us are going," Ciel began then, "Sebastian, I want you to come help dress me in something simple so we can hurry, Cissillia changed before we came."
"And Samantha?" Cissillia began and the female demon looked at her master and tilted her head.
"Yes my lady?"
"Will you go prepare a carriage?" The young one asked and Samantha nodded and swiftly swept from the room, Cissillia following close behind her.
"Come my lord." I said putting a hand on my young masters shoulder, "Let's go get you dressed." He nodded and I led him from the room.
Ciel: Wow, that was good... I hope I get to those kids in time.
Me: I hope so to
Ciel: Sooooo... do I get to them in time?
Me: Sorry but I can't tell you that.
Ciel: *Sighs* Okay... *Sparkly eyed* may I have another brownie?
Me: *Smiles* Eh, why not. *Gives Ciel brownie.*
Ciel: *Nibbles brownie with innocent look on face.* thank you
Me: *Gives one armed hug.* Aaaawww, no problem.
