Agni walked into the room and looked at his master, he looked pale and sick. A blush was covered his cheeks showing that he was still feverish. The servant felt horrible. He had failed his master. He bowed on his knees and apologized over and over again.
''Stop Agni. It was not you're fault. I was the one who ordered you to stay away.'' the prince said with a weak smile ''But my prince... I still failed you. I should've been able to protect you and i wasn't!'' ''Its fine Agni, i do not blame you... Now please stand up.'' The servant did as is master ordered and stood up even though he still felt as if it was his fault his prince got hurt. The prince looked at his servant, he was fidgeting and looked very uncomfortable. ''Is there something you want to ask me Agni? '' The servant looked up surprised and then looked away from the prince, again. ''Well...'' the servant hesitated. ''Go on my friend... what is it? '' '' Well young Ciel and Mister Sebastian didn't want to tell me what happened to you. I was hoping you yourself would tell me. '' The prince looked surprised at the question and then horrified. '' I-I'm sorry Agni... but... but i can't...'' How could he face his servant if he knew that he had been disgraced! He could never tell him... Never. The prince suddenly felt heavy and tired. His servant also noticed it and asked him to go back to sleep and relax and that he would come back later. Unable to look at the sick prince anymore, Agni left the room feeling more guilty then ever. Soma, once again left alone fell in a deep sleep filled with tormented dreams.
Soma was running, running as fast as he could but the shadow was catching up to him and no matter what he did, he couldn't hide from it. Suddenly he fell on the hard floor and felt the shadow over him. His grabbed his cloth and teared them apart. He couldn't move nor scream for help. He was there, helpless has one again the shadow entered him. Finally, he found his voice again and yelled has loud as he could.
Screams was what woke the whole house. Screams of pure terror coming from the princes room. Everybody rushed to his side to find him kicking and screaming eyes closed. Sighing, Sebastian came closer to the bed. Avoiding a kick, he started shaking the prince a little to wake him up. '' Prince Soma, Wake up. It's only a dream. Prince-'' Suddenly the young prince open his eyes wide. He was panting and shaking. When he saw the figures he started screaming and kicked Sebastian trying to back away. The servant, not very pleased to be kicked back away from the bed. He was joined by Agni who stared worriedly at the prince. '' G-Go away! Please!... I beg of you... L-leave me alone!'' the prince pleaded. It seemed he was still dreaming even though he was awake. The prince back up against the wall behind the bed and curled into a ball. He continued to plead for them to leave him alone. He grabbed his head and, still panting, started digging his nails into his skin and scratching himself enough to bleed. '' We have to stop him!'' exclaimed Agni. ''He's hurting himself!''
The princes servant climbed into the bed and took his masters arm trying to keep him from hurting himself more. The prince started screaming and kicked the other man as hard as he could to get him away from him. Finny and Bard came to hold his legs but it seemed to only worsen the situation as making even more of a fuss. '' Let go! It's okay! You're only making it worse! '' screamed Agni over his masters shouts. Hesitantly, the 2 other servants let go and back up. As soon as it was done. Agni let go of his masters hand hand hugged him tightly. The prince screamed and started hitting, kicking and biting his servant. Even though he was in pain, Agni never let go of his prince. Finally, Soma once again fell asleep from exhaustion and Agni lied next to him, also exhausted.
The next morning, Soma woke up surprised to see Agni at his side. His throat was sore and was still felling a little sluggish. Not wanting to wake his servant, he got up, put his slippers on and managed to get out of the room. His head was still spinning a little and he headed to the stairs wit difficulty. He managed to walk through half of the stairs before losing foot and falling. Fortunately for him, he got caught. He looked up to see who saved him and came face to face with Sebastian. Normally, he would have back up but he had difficulty walking straight so he stayed there staring. '' What are you doing up my Prince? '' Sebastian smiled and for some reason, it scared the prince. With a raspy voice, the prince answered stuttering: '' W-Water... I-I wanted.. Water...'' Sebastian looked at the prince for a moment before smiling again. '' Let me help you to a seat and i'll go get some water for you after.'' The prince nodded and followed the servant who was holding his hand and back to support him.
''H-Hum...may i ask you something?'' the prince said as they walked to a couch. ''Well yes of course.'' ''Hum... Why was Agni in my bed?'' Sebastian stayed silent for a second. '' You caused quite a ruckus last night. You woke up all the mansion. It seemed you were having a nightmare. When we tried to wake you up, you started panicking. Agni stayed by you're side until you fell asleep again.'' ''OH...'' was all the prince could say. Finally, they arrived to the couch and Sebastian made the prince sit down. '' I will be back with you're water in a moment. Please stay right where you are and do not move.'' The prince gulped and nodded. Sebastian left and the prince was left alone in the room. Suddenly, he heard a voice calling him from far... He though it was his imagination but it kept calling. Unsure if he should go see who it was or stayed where he is the prince remembered Sebastian's word and shivered. He would definitely not leave his seat. Once again he heard his name being called. He wondered if it was really the fever making him delusional. He knew that voice... it seemed to get louder. Yes... he did know that voice but where had he heard it... Suddenly, the voice was heard again, this time closer... very much closer... he felt someone just behind him and then, he remembered where he heard that voice. A wet cloth was put over his mouth and he fell into the darkness.
Sebastian came only moments later with a glass of water to find the seat where the prince used to sit empty. One of is slippers was still on the ground and the window was wide open. The butler sigh. '' Oya, oya... It seems we have ran into some troubles again.''
