Claude and I, after leaving the room, started discussing the terms of the contract. I would serve Claude whenever he needed me and I would eat his soul, which pickled me a lot. He also told me that what we did to form the contract would not be needed again; it was only a first time thing that all demons needed to do to keep the design on them just in case. I asked him if it was even possible to eat a demon's soul and told me that it was very possible. It was similar to a humans; I nodded still anticipated about this but he smiled with certainty. I relaxed a little.

"The terms of the contract are sealed and also I would like to give you something." He said and gave me a silver box. It was fuzzy in my hands, probably made of velvet. Inside of it was a silver torque with a sapphire hanging down in the middle. It sapphire was shaped into my contract design. I traced it gently with a smile. "I take it that you like it?" He asked and I nodded; he opened his arms and I let him encircle me. I snuggled into his chest.

"Now what?" I asked him. He kissed my forehead.

"Go and do what you want for now. I don't need anything but I will let you know if I do." He said. I knew what I wanted to do. I told him I would go out for a walk and come back immediately if he needed me to at any time.

I went straight to her. I needed her and wanted to see her. She became my forbidden obsession. She was a beautiful creature that I desperately wanted but couldn't have. I was torturing myself with her presence. If she only knew what she did to me. I passed the iron gates and flew up to Ivy's window; the room was dark. I opened the window and came in quietly, seeing the small bump in the bed. I approached it and sat down next to it, removing the blanket from her face. She was sleeping peacefully, the moonlight colored her, wrapping around her face so I cool see her. I brushed her hair aside gently and smiled at the sleeping beauty. She moaned sleepily and opened her eyes narrowly; her eyes eventually rounded completely when she saw me next to her.

"Aurora?" She blinked a few times and rubbed her eyes trying to gain back vision. Her eyes watered when she finally got a full sight of me and she hugged me tightly, with tears falling down her cheeks. I stroked her hair lovingly and embraced her as if she was my own child. "Where were you?" She sobbed into my chest and I felt the water soaking my dress.

"I'm sorry. I was a bit…preoccupied with something." I said while kissing her hair.

"I thought you weren't going to come back." She looked at me with a wet face; I wiped her clean.

"Of course I would come back. Why would you think of something so irrelevant?" I asked her and pulled her back to see her face. She was smiling sadly.

"I just had a weird feeling that you weren't coming back." She went back into my chest; this was even worse than seeing her sad. Seeing her cry because of me, took a tight squeezed on my heart. I shushed her and eased her back into bed but she protested that she didn't want to me to leave.

"Don't ever think something that is never going to happen." I said and held her face.

"I'm sorry." She wiped her new tears and smiled sadly. I kissed her cheeks lightly staying in place for a few extra seconds longer than I should have. Her arms laid around my neck as she brought herself closer to me in a hug. I brought my face to her again to kiss her and held me in a hug. She didn't want to let go of me. How cute. I could hear her heart thumping harshly against her chest; it was music to my ears.

"Ivy…" I whispered against her neck and kissed her tender skin. She was like putty in my hands when I touched her. I guess I understood where Sebastian came from with teasing me. It was fun to see her reactions and I loved watching her wither beneath me. I pulled away and placed her head in my lap, stroked her hair until she fell asleep. When she passed out, I tucked her back into her blanket, resting her head on the cascade of pink pillows and kissed her one last time. I left the Mecacci Estate and wandered into the beautiful darkness.

The moon was full and was as calming as I remembered. Things were turning strange in the estate and I wanted to go home and be with Ciel and Sebastian again. I couldn't, it was a stupid idea and I didn't want to deal with it. I leaned my back against a tree, confused and down. Everything was becoming complicated and what was worse? It had to drag me into it.

I sensed something coming my way and by instinct hid behind the tree and waited. Nothing came so I forgot about it and started heading out but when I was about to move I heard a foot crunch a tree leave and went back to hide again. I turned my head slightly so I knew who was coming my way. I couldn't believe who I was…

He stood there in the open with the same clothing that he normally had worn. He was still as lean and perfect as when I last saw him too. I held my breath because I'd never been this close to him in years. His face was a bit slumped while taking any sort of path he could. The dirt crumbled under every step he took and I slowly paced myself around the tree to another so he couldn't see me but I was keeping an eye on him too just in case. His head snapped up but I caught it and froze in place.

"Come out. I'm not in the mood to play games anymore." He said with his a threat promised somewhere in all the anger he had. Then he chuckled darkly; I loved it. "I'm finally going insane now that she's gone. I'm actually starting to hear things. How pathetic." I couldn't hide from him; he would find me anyway. I made my way out in the open in front of him with my head down. "Who are you?" He asked me; I couldn't tell how he was feeling now. I didn't want to talk and I made out the plan that when he blinked, I would disappear…and it worked.

I ran back to the estate, crying. My vision was blurry and every few seconds I had to wipe my eyes but they continued on. When I got to the front of the mansion, I fell to my knees in more tears. I held my face and screamed as loud as I could, choking back. I didn't look up when I heard the double doors burst open. I kept sobbing and holding myself when Claude picked me up and held me. I clutched his coat and sobbed into his chest. He carried me back into the house and took me to a different room than the one I usually slept in. He laid me on the bed and leaned over my body, shushing me like I was a child. Actually I was. I saw the man that I was desperately in love with: Sebastian Michaelis and I weren't canonical by him at all…I was just another person to him now…

I finally ceased from crying and laid on my side with Claude stroking my face. I told him what happened, at least that I was taking a walk, and I didn't care about the look on his face when I said his name. He was upset that I was crying over him. I stared blankly at the black shade of his clothes, not looking at his face like he wanted me to. It was agonizing without someone you loved.

"I…want…" I choked on the next words. They were said involuntarily. "To forget him…" I choked back on the fresh tears; they were stopped by Claude's finger. He moved over me quickly until he was hovering. He gripped my wrists, digging his nails into my skin; I cried out in pain when he let go to tie my hands tightly with a piece of the blanket that he quickly tore off and tied the cloth to the headboard of the bed. I couldn't move and I could feel the burning from the sheet. What was he planning on doing to me? I didn't protest though, he was my master now after all.

"You want to forget?" He played with the back zipper of my dress and pulled fast. I gasped as he kissed me. "I'll make you forget…" He growled, holding a dark promise and bit down on my neck harshly, letting my blood flow down to my breasts. He tore off my gown and licked at the end of the trail of blood up to start of the wound he made. I moaned in both pain and pleasure as he abused my body for his own benefit.

He would suck, nip, bit and cut any part of me with his teeth or nails causing blood to flow out. The pain would sting from the cool air caressing the fresh wounds on my body. From the constant blood loss, I was slipping in and out of consciousness. He nipped mostly at my lower torso and flicked his tongue in my heated area. My body would move with his when he would move inside of me. He was rough and the weirdest part was that I liked it. He would make me beg for him to finish and anything else that he wanted. I had contracted with him so I had to comply. I felt like it lasted so long and what he was doing to me…caused me to go straight to sleep once he was done.
