Time was not something Ciel had a lot of, this became more apparent when he made a deal with the devil. As time went by he realized long ago despite his misfortune he was also had rather good fortune. A money, title, loyal butler, loving family, a purebred wife, parents who once loved him, and rather interesting acquaintances. Though his life was indeed well, he felt empty, especially when he held a gun to some mortal, especially a defenseless one. Today, he had to shot a child, a defenseless child, out of mercy because he was dying. For some reason, it hurt more then the others, it actually hurt him. The kid was a little girl with brown hair and eyes, pale skin of illness. Those eyes filled with pain begging to be put out her misery, she was young, nine years old.

"Hey Solider, why so gloom?" Her voice drifted through.

Ciel turned around, Drake was their sitting on his bed, it hit him, the child was her... It was her past self.

"I-I."

Drakes elegant bowed brows knitted in confusion, "Ciel? I know you don't stutter."

The earl took a deep breathe, "Today was caught a mass child kidnapper, one of his prisoners was a nine year old girl. She had consumption, the look she gave me a look..."

Her light brown eyes soften, "Kill me, right?"

Ciel looked at her eyes, they told all he needed to know, that she was glad he didn't let her suffer, she appreciated it.

Drake pulled him down to the bed, "Sleep now Ciel, I am going to wake up soon."

Ciel smirked as he laid on the bed next to her, "You said that last night, but when I woke up, you were still here and I will wake up, confident you will be here."

Drake stroked his face, " But the thing with coma's you never know when you will wake up."

Ciel wrapped his arms around his mistress, "If you wake up."

Drake curled into him, " Will you find me?"

The Earl kissed her forehead, "Give me time. We will be together, in my world or yours."

Drake was his light, and until the day one of them died, she would remain so. He felt guilty about making her only his dirty mistress, but she didn't mind. After all, no one could tell, her birthed name was Elizabeth, Ciel did eat at strange times along with being recluse and she was flickering in and out of Ciel's life.

She made his life worth living.
