Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as Master Phantomhive finished reading the section from the Cinematic Record. She couldn't love her own child? Just because of what it was?

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a moment later Millie walked in.

"Master Phantomhive I-" she started but stopped when she saw the lot of us standing around.

"Am I interrupting something?" she asked.

"At the moment yes. What is it you needed Millie?" Sebastian asked.

"I was just going to say that a Mr. Wilson George is on the phone for you." She replied.

"Tell him I will call him back. I am dealing with an issue at the moment." Master Phantomhive replied.

"Very well." She said and with a final glance around the room she left.

"Well now that everything is out in the open I suppose I shall take my leave." Grell said and tried to pull from Sebastian's grip.

"Shall I let him go My Lord?" Sebastian asked.

Master Phantomhive sighed, "I suppose."

"Very well." Sebastian said and I could tell that he was disappointed.

"Congratulations on your Granddaughter Bassy. I must say…you're the sexiest Grandfather I've ever met." Grell winked and with that he disappeared out the window.

"Hmm…Grandfather Sebastian…it does have a ring to it." Master Phantomhive said as he walked back around his desk.

"No offence Master Phantomhive but I truly don't know if I could ever see Sebastian as my…Grandfather. No offense." I said looking at Sebastian.

"None taken I assure you." Sebastian replied.

"So what happens now?" I asked.

"The same as before. You will slowly come into your demon powers and Sebastian and I will keep an eye on you. However it will be easier than we previously thought." Master Phantomhive replied.

"Indeed it will be Master." Sebastian nodded.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Sebastian and I have a contract. As his offspring, indirectly or otherwise, that contract extends to you. Should you get out of hand I will be able to command you to stop." Master Phantomhive replied.

Some part of me want to scream that it wasn't fair that I was dragged into this but another part was relieved. I had been frightened that I might not be able to control myself and hurt someone I cared about. If this was going to keep me from losing it I didn't mind.

"Fine." I nodded.

"Very well then. Give me your hand." Sebastian said and moved towards me as he removed his glove.

I reached out and he took it gently. His skin was cold but a moment later grew warm. The warmth spread to my hand and a second later the heat centered in the back of my hand. A hiss escaped my lips at the burning sensation that suddenly intensified.

Then just as soon as it came it was gone. Sebastian let go and I looked down at my hand and saw the same black mark on the back of Sebastian's hand now was inked into my skin.

"Let's see how well this worked. Charlotte?" Master Phantomhive asked.

"Yes Master Phantomhive?" I asked turning to him.

"I command you to come and stand in front of my desk." he said.

"Yes My Lord."

The words came tumbling out of my mouth before I could stop them and then my feet began to move of their own accord. A second later I was standing in front of Master Phantomhive's desk.

A small smile crossed his face, "This will work just fine. You're dismissed for now. I'm sure you have much to think about."

"Yes My Lord." I replied and with a nod I left.

I walked back to my room in a sort of daze. Everything felt as if it had been turned upside down in just a matter of days. I had been determined to find out just what was going on with me but I never thought it would be this extreme.

Reaching the door of my room I walked in, closing it behind me before wandering over to the bed. I noticed it was made and wondered if Sebastian had done it while I was getting ready earlier. With a sigh I sat down on the bed, laying back.

Picking my hand up I looked at the symbol that was now tattooed on my hand. I was marked. I was a demon. This was my life now. I'd just have to accept it.

3rd POV

Ciel sighed, "I should have seen it ages ago. You two do share several features."

"It was something anyone could have missed My Lord. After all it was nearly a century ago that we met the Nun." Sebastian replied.

"Yes…yes it was. Well at least we've attended to matters. With the Seal on her hand keeping her in check will be simple. I can once again go about my business without having to worry about one of my servants going on a rampage." Ciel sighed.

"Indeed My Lord." Sebastian nodded.

"What is on my schedule for the coming week?" Ciel asked pulling forward a stack of papers he'd been neglecting since the incident with Charlotte attacking the lush.

"You have a meeting tomorrow at 3 with a candy company that would like to merge with the Funtom Company. Then later this week an important contact has invited you to a Masquerade Ball." Sebastian replied.

"Confirm the meeting tomorrow and decline the invitation to the Ball." Ciel replied.

"With all do respects My Lord I do no think you should turn that invitation down. The host of the ball is a very influential board member. I think it would be in your best interest to go." Sebastian replied.

Ciel sighed, "Very well then."

"I will gather a list of your female acquaintances for you to review. I'm sure one of them would be more than happy to accompany you." Sebastian said and started for the door however before he could reach it Ciel stopped him.

"There will be no need for it Sebastian. I already have someone else in mind."

Sebastian looked at him, "Who should I contact then?"

Ciel shook his head, "No one. I'll do the honors of asking her myself."

Hmm...I wonder who Ciel is going to ask to go with him as his date?

Anyone want to take a guess?

Everyone who guesses correctly gets a cookie!

Anyhow going to make this short since I have to go and make Chimichangas for my family.
