Author's Note: Total apology for not updating sooner. Got my laptop taken away but its back. At least for the night… If I don't update sooner, I apologize now. And I'll try to write longer chapters. A thousand words minimum. Enjoy this chapter!

Holly

She stepped inside the dark, mahogany door that Sebastian held open for her. The room was decently sized for guests. The room was not as fancy as her grandfather's was but still quite nice.

The walls were rather tall, with a floral pattern with reds and golds. A desk stood against the farthest wall, covered with several books and lit candles. The bed was a four poster with elegant designs etched into the wood. The designs were of angels and… demons? Holly laughed softly as she looked at them. The bed had multiple pillows and soft looking blankets. Her bags were piled neatly in the corner

Holly, yawning, realized how tired she actually was. Turned back to the door, she saw Sebastian staring at her oddly. His eyes seemed to be glowing a deep red as if they were staring into her soul. It sent shivers through her.

"Um… Sebastian, could you bring me some tea before bed?"

A blush covered her cheeks as he sent her a smile. "Of course, my lady."

With that, Sebastian turned and left, shutting the door behind him.

Most of the evening went uneventful. Until...

Ciel

A scream echoed through the manor, jolting Ciel out of his dream. It wasn't a feminine scream but more of a masculine one.

Ciel sat straight up, jumping when Sebastian came bursting through the doorway. "Young master?!" His eyes were glowing brightly with worry. He immediately relaxed when he saw that Ciel was fine.

"Find the source of the scream."

Sebastian nodded and vanished.

Holly

The scream came from down the hall. She climbed out of bed, wrapping a silk robe around her body. She fanned herself as she went to the door and opened it. It was a very humid evening.

The long hallway was pitch black. She could barely see anything. She took of down the hall, searching for her grandfather's room.

Sebastian

He darted down the dark hallway.

The scream had not been female.

It could not be Holly.

That was when her scream echoed through the hallway.

Sebastian tensed and ran faster.

Holly

Red. So much red.

Her grandfather was gone. Tears welled up in her eyes, streaming down her cheeks as she fell to her knees, cradling the old man's head in her lap. At least it seemed that he put up a fight.

Sobs wracked her body, her hair, which had lost its curly bounce and had become wavy, fell over her shoulders, brushing against the Marquis' bloodstained face.

Pure sadness overwhelmed her. He had raised her after her parents had been killed and Holly had thought that she'd gotten over the loss of her family but after losing her beloved grandfather she couldn't take it.

Looking around, she saw a broken mirror.

Gently, she placed her grandfather's head on the floor and grabbed the blanket, covering his bloody body. Then she crawled over to the broken mirror, pain causing incoherent thought.

She grabbed a shard, gripping it tightly in her hand.

She had every intention of slicing that sharp edge across her wrists and neck. She had every intention of killing herself.

Until.

Sebastian burst through the doorway, eyes glowing bright red. But she didn't see him.

She could feel the cold glass against her skin. It was when she felt a warm body pressing against her that she came to her right mind.

"Holly..." His voice penetrated her mind like a drug, causing her to drop to the shard. "Stop..."

She looked up at him, eyes full of tears.

"Sebastian."

Sebastian

The way his name was said on her decadent lips was too much for Sebastian. He could barely control himself when he had first met this little siren.

She was just so beautiful.

He pulled her close, lifting her into his arms as he stood and left this room of death.

Holly

Sadness was replaced by anger.

She just couldn't let these men kill of her family.

She and her grandfather had been the only Desmarais left.

With him dead, she was alone.

She wanted revenge.

Sebastian

He smiled when he felt the change of emotions in Holly.

He knew what she wanted and he could help.

In return for her soul of course.

"Holly."

She jumped, pulled out of her thoughts, and looked up at him.

"Do you want to avenge your grandfather?"

Holly's eyes widened and she nodded.

Ciel

He waited in his room for Sebastian to return.

When he did, Ciel couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Sebastian carried Holly like he used to carried Ciel before Ciel was turned into a demon. In all technicality, Ciel had released Sebastian from their deal but Sebastian had remained around, helping Ciel out.

Ciel had expected this soon but not with one of his own relatives.

"The Marquis is dead."

Ciel was shocked yet again. This week was turning out to interesting.

Holly

She was laid in one of the large arm chairs that was in Ciel's bedroom. Sebastian had wrapped her in his coat, which was a comforting gesture but it was sort of hot. Almost hesitantly, she shrugged it off, accidentally revealing her cream colored shoulders.

While Ciel and Sebastian talked, she could only think about how she was going to avenge her grandfather. She would, of course, inherit all his money and his estate but that wasn't going to help her.

"Holly."

Sebastian's voice caught her attention. Him and Ciel had stopped talking and were now staring at her. Sebastian was different now. His eyes glowed even brighter than normal, illuminating the room, and his pupils had turned into cat-like slits. He wore a wicked smile on his face.

"Let us make a deal."
