Wow, this took forever. Sorry to keep you all waiting, but I was being distracted by my original stories and my schoolwork. This is what happens when you are nearly finished the last year of high school. So life got in the way, but I felt like I needed to post since the Book of Murder OVA was posted in English sub not to long ago. :3 That made me so happy. Anyways, I only own Sarah and Victor and other characters that weren't in the Manga or the Anime. Happy reading!

For Sebastian, life had become very dull. The demon had stayed in the moral realm after devouring Ciel's soul and after some time, the other servants had left in search of other things. As far as Sebastian knew, Finny had gone to work at a logging business, and Baldroy had returned to America. Even Tanaka had left, which left him all by his lonesome. Sebastian didn't mind the silence that now permeated throughout the manor, it was a welcomed change from dealing with the day to day chaos that would be caused by the other staff or by Ciel, but the problem was it gave Sebastian nothing to do. He was stuck, since he now had no purpose like he did as the Phantomhive Butler. He was a demon without a master. Sebastian sighed as he wandered the manor, cleaning the halls of dust and cob webs as he walked.

"Well, it seems that now that the king has fallen from his throne, all that is left is the castle that he called home." He muttered to himself. He had to admit that Ciel Phantomhive was the most interesting of masters that he had served in many years. He had began to pride himself on the fact that he had eaten a soul that so many were after; the only question was, now what? He started to think how he could amuse himself and get out of this rut he had found himself stuck in, but none of his ideas would have worked all too well in the realm of men. There were rules that he abide by, even if he didn't like it. Then one day, a knock sounded on the doors of the manor, shattering the heavy silence. Sebastian lifted an eyebrow at this. It couldn't have been one of the old servants, they had left a long time ago and the manor was isolated, who was knocking? When Sebastian opened the door, he had found the Queen's former butler, Ash Landers. A scowl twisted Sebastian's face when he stared at the angel on the opposite side of the door frame.

"Hello, Sebastian."

"What are you doing here? I thought I killed you." Sebastian retorted, not paying any attention to the polite greeting from the white clad man. Sebastian remembered all too well what had happened the last time he and Ash had met. Sebastian subconsciously rolled the arm that Ash had cut off as a reminder it was there still attached.

"You did, but that's besides the point. May I come in?" Sebastian blocked the door in defiance. He was demon and Ash was an angel, there was no way he would let a pure being of Heaven defile his space. Ash appeared to be slightly annoyed by this, but he didn't move to try and force Sebastian to let him in. Again, Sebastian cocked an eyebrow in confusion. Why was he acting so differently from the last time? He lost his mind the last they had tangled, now he just looked sad, like an animal that had been kicked.

"Listen, I don't like this as much as you do, but I don't have many opinions. I have a deal for you." That caught the demon's attention. While a small part of Sebastian was slightly irked by the fact that this angel was praying on his demonic habit of taking deals, that is if he stood to benefit. Sebastian lowered his arms.

"I'm listening." Ash ran his hand through the snow locks on his head. He glanced around, almost waiting for something to jump from the bushes by the manor. Sebastian was now even more confused by the angel's behavior. What was going on?

"There's this fallen angel that was cast out not to long ago. She was my friend and I lost contact, or rather, someone purposely hid her from me. I know the general location of where she being held, but I can't go and free her myself."

"Why?" Ash rubbed his head again.

"Well, to be frank, all is not well in Paradise. Leading up to her exile, there was unrest amongst the angels. Whispers of a war against Hell were heard and needless to say, my friend was too close and was cast out because of it." Now Sebastian intrigued. A war between Hell and Heaven was not good, but Sebastian also knew that the realm of man would the battlefield and hundreds if not thousands would die in the crossfire.

"I want you to find her, and bring her here."

"What I would I gain from this? Or rather, what would you gain?" Ash's eyes flicked to the bush again. Sebastian normally would find the angel's discomfort amusing, but right now he looked like a deer that knows that wolf is nearby.

"I would gain the knowledge that my dear friend is safe from harm. Well, I know that she would be able to handle herself in your presence, and you would gain a companion." A knowing smirk crossed the angel's lips.

"I know that you're incredibly bored being alone here. Besides, I can guarantee that things won't be boring when she's around." Sebastian considered this, before shrugging.

"Alright, fine. Have it your way. Where can I find her?" Ash smiled.

"There's a village near London. Just a little farming village that had managed to survive the Industrial revolution. I've been hearing reports that children have been disappearing from that village only to found as stripped bones. There were three children that managed to escape and when I spoke to them, they spoke of a woman clad in black with wings of silky black feathers." Sebastian blinked. He hadn't been on a case since Ciel was still alive and in this moment, his mind began to work like clockwork.

"The locals were saying that the forest near the village was haunted. Something about a curse or a witch that is stealing their children."

"Hm, I'll take a look." Ash only nodded before turned and starting to walk away, before he stopped and looked over his shoulder.

"Thank you. Heh, didn't think I would be giving my thanks to a demon." Sebastian smirked.

"That makes two of us." Ash then opened his wings and flew off. Sebastian only watched until the white of his clothing disappeared before slipping inside to grab his coat. A feeling of excitement fluttered in the pit of Sebastian's core. He was both intrigued by not only this 'Fallen' that Ash had spoken of, but also the growing tension in Heaven. He made a mental note to find a way to take advantage of the situation as he prepared a cart. He kept a hat with him just in case as he rode off towards the village that Ash had spoken of. He was looking forward to what awaited him there.
