Heeeey... after crying for 20 minutes and listening to Yiruma, I decided to write yet another chapter. Friends, STOP RUSHING ME! Enjoy T^T

~Chapter 6

Ciel was in his bed, his room dark, sheets snaking around his body, sweat on his forehead, face twisted into a painful look of suffering and horror. Mace and Sebastian stood in the door frame, watching as the young master tossed around in bed, panting. Mace took a step forward but Sebastian pushed her back. The man walked up to Ciel's bed side and started to remove the sheets around his body.

Ciel's purple iris flashed open, within an instant Mace was in front of Sebastian holding the bullet the lord had shot, only centimeters from his face. Sebastian fell back in utter terror of Mace. She looked at him with surprise. Surprise of what she could do, and what she had done. She didn't know she could move so quickly. How did she know Ciel would fire at him, and why did she save Sebastian, when clearly he could have saved himself. Tears welled up in her eyes, for she feared Sebastian would send her away from the manor. She heard weeping, but it wasn't her own.

Behind her, Ciel was holding his head in his hands, pistol cast to the side of him. Mace sat down on the bed and opened her arms. Ciel flung himself into her warmth, crying into her shoulder.

"I can't believe... I am so sorry... I thought... I thought he was one of the men that took me away to that horrible cell, sold me to that cult..."

"Shh Shh, Hush my darling." Mace rubbed Ciel's back and pet his hair. How lovely the sight was. A mother holding her horror-struck child. Mace began to cry as well, While Sebastian watched on, captivated by this woman yet again.

"Ciel, it's alright. No one will hurt you, especially not Sebastian. He has been your faithful servant since that day you summoned him. He wont ever lie to you, Nor I. As long as we are here, nothing can harm you. I will give my soul to Lucifer if I ever let you get hurt. I won't let that happen, I promise. Shh, it was just a dream, just a dream. Lay back down."

Ciel obeyed, slowly releasing his arms from around Mace's neck, letting her guide him back down to the sheets. She brushed the bangs out his face and looked into his deep, blue and purple eyes. With a swift movement she had the pistol in her hands, and snapped it in two. No noise was made. In her hands lay the gun, deemed completely useless.

"Guns are dangerous in the dark. Besides, Your servants are bound to you, to protect you. We wont let there ever be a need for guns in this house." She kissed his forehead, pulled away, and started to stroke his hair again. In all of her life, she had never felt such a deep love, understanding, or trust for another human. She liked the feeling of being wanted, needed. She felt someone's presence behind her and looked up to see Sebastian there, smiling. She stood and allowed him to move towards the young master. Instead, he grasped her wrist and pulled her into a long-awaited hug. She let her head rest on his shoulder and she held on tightly. She was so scared that he would turn her in to the police, after seeing what she could do.

"Mace. Never in my time on this planet, ever, have I encountered a woman quite like yourself. I saw your mark and assumed you were in contract with a demon, yet, my read on you suggested you weren't human at all. Not fully demon either. In fact, from what I can see, your soul is completely immortal, insuperable, impenetrable. Now, after seeing what you just did, I know what you are, and I will not let you be captured by anyone. Police, Scotland Yard, or hell, even the Queen. You were misunderstood, mistreated, but not here. You have finally found your home."

Mace felt someone take her hand and hold it. Through tear filled eyes she saw Ciel, almost as if he were five years old, holding her hand to his face. She bent down, picked him up, and put him back down in the bed. She then got up, looked at Sebastian and Ciel, and walked out of the room, her hands held to her chest, tears streaming down her face.

The last glimpse of Mace that both saw was her breaking into a run down the corridor towards the back entrance and out to the garden, where they both knew it was pouring rain. Sebastian tensed up, but held back his urge to run after her.

"Go Sebastian"

The Man looked down at his master, sitting up in bed.

"Well? are you going to go find her and keep her safe like you told her or aren't you?"

"Sir, m-may I?"

"This is an order!"

Sebastian ripped down the corridor, stripping from his tail coat and white gloves in pursuit of the woman, not afraid to get soaked to the bones. He had to keep her warm, he had to keep her safe.
