Chapter 32
~ASC~

Sebastian stumbled into the house, he had searched the entire town, looking for Matthew, but couldn't find him. He walked up the stairs and knocked on Ciel's door, he didn't knew how he was going to tell the young lord about his missing Concierge, but he knew the other would not be happy at all. "Young Master." He opened the door and his heart almost stopped as he stared at Matthew, lying down with Ciel. "Matthew, you came back!" The young demon didn't even looked up at him as he ran his fingers through Ciel's hair. "Wake up Ciel." He whispered softly to the small child. He placed a kiss on Ciel's forehead, and the young lord mumbled as he woke up and opened his eyes, "Matthew?"

"Tomorrow's the last day Ciel. Have him take you up the Ferris wheel, the big one. You'll enjoy the view." Matthew removed himself from the bed and brushed past Sebastian. "What's wrong with Matthew?" Ciel asked as he yawned a bit. Sebastian stared at Ciel, and he told him of what happened.

Ciel's eyes widen and he struck Sebastian across the face, "You-you!" He didn't even finish as he striked him again. "Fix this!" He ordered. Sebastian nodded and went downstairs, finding Matthew in the music room. He was picking up the bloody music sheets and placing them on the piano. "Matthew, I want to-"

"Do you play?" He interrupted.

Sebastian stopped and raised an eyebrow at him, "I don't understand?"

"Do you play?" Matthew looked at him and pointed at the piano, "The piano." Sebastian shook his head, ignoring Matthew's question, "Matthew I'm trying to apol-"

"You know...I never really did hear the ending of this song. It requires two people to play. Would you like to try?" Matthew stared at Sebastian, and the demon sighed, and just nodded, "Ok." He gave up, he took the hint that the other didn't want him to speak, so he just hoped the other would let him show he was deeply sorry.

He sat down next to Matthew and stared at the music sheet, it was hard to make out the bloody notes, but he could see it just fine. They placed their hands in place and Matthew started it off. It was a soft, quick, light and sweet, and Sebastian followed after, his notes deeper and slower, almost like a husband and wife duet, yet the sound somehow blended perfectly together, different notes, but two songs mixed into one. The pages fell to the ground, one by one, as they neared the end of the song. Sebastian's right hand went to the middle keys, and Matthew's left did as well. Sebastian's larger hand was over Matthew's, and they pressed the last keys together. The piano hummed as they stopped and Matthew gave a small smile at this, "They really were amazing when they created this." Sebastian held his hand, his thumb lightly rubbing Matthew's knuckles, "I'm so sorry Matthew."

Matthew removed his hand from Sebastian and stood up, "I know." He touched Sebastian's cheek and gave the other a soft sweet kiss, but it felt sorrowful to the elder demon. He left Sebastian there and walked to the living room, passing Ciel on the couch.

"So your really leaving?" Ciel said as he clicked away on his ds.

"..." Matthew didn't speak at all as he stared down at Ciel.

"Don't you remember? You're mine." Ciel's hands shooked and he closed the game. Matthew didn't say anything as he placed his hand on Ciel's head, giving very little comfort to the small master. "Matthew, please..." Ciel's body started trembling and he looked up at him, tears falling, "Don't leave!" Ciel went to his feet and wrapped his arms around Matthew's waist as he cried. "Don't leave please!" Matthew stared at Ciel, he held him as the boy continued to cry, his small hands gripping the back of his shirt.

"Don't leave Matthew, I love you!"

"I love you too Ciel, but I don't want to see you or...anyone I love die anymore... That's why I want to protect you." Matthew whispered as he pulled Ciel away from him and he walked out of the home. Ciel fell to his knees and he called out to Matthew, "Don't leave me, Matthew!"

~ASC~

Matthew entered the building, and a woman guided him to a room and he sat in the chair. A man walked in and stared at him for a bit before sitting down as well. He went through the folder that was on his desk and he looked back up to him, "You claim to be Damien Ross?" The man said.

Matthew nodded at him. "Yes, and I've come for what belongs to me~"

~ASC~

Sebastian was utterly depressed, he stared at his hands that were slightly bleeding. Joey the small pup attacked him when he saw his master leave, and he sighed and clutched the pillow on the couch. His young master wouldn't even look at him as he just went up to the bedroom and hid himself there.

He felt hollow inside, though the other didn't break the bond, he was still locked away from his love. His legs curled slightly, and he brought a corner of the pillow up to his mouth as his eyes trembled slightly, and he buried his face as the bloody tears fell.

Come back to me Matthew, please don't leave me...

~ASC~

Matthew walked down the streets, it was already late afternoon, as he headed to Tabitha's apartment. He knocked on the door, and heard a bit of rustling coming from the inside, and he could have sworn he heard a yelp. "Coming coming!" She said over the door. Matthew waited for her for a few minutes and she opened the door, and Matthew couldn't help but notice that she was dressed up, and very lovely in fact. The soft pink dress fit her body like a glove, the hem reaching up to her calves, little white heels on her, and her hair had soft curls that went down her back beautifully. He blinked in surprised and shook himself out of his stupor.

"Damien?" She asked, noticing the other had blanked out.

"Hey. Going somewhere?" He said, a slight smile on his face as he slipped his hands into his pockets. She raised an eyebrow, wondering what he ment, and her eyes widen and she shook her head, "Oh, no I barely came back from dinner with John. You look troubled, is there something wrong?"

"I came to ask a favor."

"What is it?" She asked as she stepped outside and closed her door. "I want to see Sister Iriam, but I can't go alone." She stared at him, slightly surprised, and his eyebrows furrowed when she stared at him. "Is it a bad time for you?"

"Ah, no! Just give me a second." She rushed back into her apartment and came out with a purse and her keys in her hand, "Gots to lock up." She jingled the keys at him, and locked the door. "Lets go." Matthew said as he started walking forward, his hands still in his pocket. She ran after him and they both headed to the orphange.

Little kids ran in and out of the gates as they walked up the cobble stone steps. They went through the doors and a young nun spotted them. "Tabitha, did you come over to visit? And who's your friend?"

"This is Damien. We are here to see Sister Iriam, is she available?" The nun nodded and pointed to the left hallway. "She should be in her room right now."

"Thanks Annabeth." Tabitha grabbed Matthew's hand and took him to the room. She knocked on the door and heard, "Come in." Matthew opened the door and they both stepped in. An old nun was clutching a rosary and reciting scriptures from memory, the old woman stopped and turned her head, her blind eyes staring straight ahead at them, "Tabitha, is that you?"

"Yes, Sister Iriam, I brought someone to meet you."

"Who is it?" Sister Iriam said.

Matthew walked over to her and he took her hand into his, "Still alive, huh you old woman." The Sister gasped and she brought her hands up and touched Matthew's face, "Damien, is that you?"

"Yes Sister. I thought it'd be good to see you again." The old women smiled and patted his cheek, "You've grown big my boy." She suddenly slapped him and Matthew stared at her in shock, "Are your fingers broken that you cannot pick up a phone!"

"Sister!" Tabitha shouted.

"No buts! Even God will forgive me for striking such a selfish boy! Next time don't worry us half to death!" Matthew touched his cheek and he chuckled softly, "You old bag. Always nagging my ear off. When will you give me a break."

"Never! Not if I have something to say about it." She screeched.

Matthew shook his head and took her hand, "It's good to see you again." She stopped yelling and nodded, "Yes, it is good to see you too, my son." They spoke for a while, Matthew telling her that he had been doing fine, made friends, had a good job, and enjoyed his life greatly, but he left out several major events, especially what had happened last night, and he took her hand again and place a small kiss on it. "I'm sorry for making you cry Sister, I never meant to left, everything just happened so suddenly." She smiled and shook her head, "It is fine Damien, as long as something makes you happy, that is where you belong." He stared at her, and he agreed, though inside he knew he was lying, and he released her hand.

They left the orphanage, the sun already setted and Matthew looked to Tabitha, the girl was silent, but a happy smile on her face, "Thank you for coming with me." He said. She shook her head and stared at him, "It was nothing." They walked down the street, everyone already gone inside, and Matthew looked up at the sky, "It's going to rain in a while." He announced.

"Really? How can you tell?" She said as she looked up at the dark sky. Matthew just shrugged and stopped in front of an alleyway, a lone street lamp shining down on them. He stared at the ground and Tabitha looked up at him, "Is there something wrong?" Matthew ran his hand through his hair, starting to feel troubled and he looked to her, "Tabitha I-" Cold metal pressed against his skull, and he could feel such wickedness in the air. He stood still and Tabitha's eyes stared in horror as three men surrounded them. "Give me your money, and you'll be fine." The one with the gun said. All three of them look no older than 16 years old, and were wearing beanie caps, and heavy jackets, and all three had weapons, the one next to Tabitha had a aluminum bat, and the one on the left had a steel pipe. "Easy there, don't do something you'll regret." Matthew said calmly, "Tabitha, give them what they want." She nodded and handed her purse to them. They took it and she gasped, and tried to reach for it, "Wait, my keys are inside!"

"Lady, back the fuck up!" The one that took her purse shouted, obviously this was his first time, and he was scared at what would happen..

"Calm down guys, look if you want, I can give you more money. I have it in my back pocket." He slowly lowered one hand to reach for the money and the guy behind him pressed the gun harder, "Stay still!"

"I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to hurt you." Matthew said, though it was a lie to himself as he almost released a deep growl.

"Shut up!" The boy shouted.

Matthew took in a deep breath, and could feel his teeth growing, one of them smelled delicous, and it has been a while since he has last eaten. "You got what you wanted, now leave us alone." Tabitha demanded as she stared at them. The third one with the pipe started hyperventilating and he screamed as he raised the pipe up and swung it at Tabitha. Matthew grabbed the pipe and twisted out of the guy's hand, "Don't touch her!" He shouted.

"I said stay still!" The one with the gun shouted.

"Stop, before you do something stu-bang!" Matthew didn't even finish as he felt the bullet rip through him, and he stared at his chest, there was blood coming out from where his heart is. The boy with the gun started shaking and he screamed as he fired off a few more rounds into the blonde's chest. "Matthew!" Tabitha screamed as the Blonde fell forward and she tried to catch him. "Stay!" The boy with the gun shouted as he pointed it to her, "Kain, I think you killed him!" The one with the bat said. "Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Kain shouted.

"Rupert, shut the fuck up!" The one that had the pipe said as he stared at his friend nervously.

"Dave, Kain, we have the money, let's just go." Rupert told them, feeling scared at how Kain was suddenly acting.

"No, we can't leave her alive! She saw our faces, and she saw us kill him!" Kain argued, a craze look in his eyes. Tabitha stared at them and her hand crept for the pipe. "We have to kill her too!"

"Kain, do you hear yourself! We're already going to be in deep shit if we kill two people!" Dave shouted.

Tabitha grabbed the pipe and swung it, hitting all three in their heads. They fell to the ground and Tabitha ran into the alley, trying to remember where the best place to hide was. "Hurry up and get her!" Kain shouted as he went to his feet and ran after her. The other two followed behind and Tabitha tried to pick up speed, 'John, I need you!' She screamed in her mind, wishing she took back her purse from the guys.

She took a sharp turn, and immediately skidded to a stop and looked at the fence in front of her, "No way! No way! There wasn't a fence here before!"

"There she is!"

Her heart skipped a beat and she tried to climb the fence. Dave grabbed her legs and pulled her down to the ground. All three surrounded her and she started panicking as they move closer. "Stay back, st-stay back!"

"Shut up you stupid girl!" Kain pointed the gun to her, and Tabitha stared into the barrel, her body quaking in fear.

A cold wind passed them, and there was a painful grunt. "What was that?" Kain looked to Dave, and then looked to Rupert, but the boy was gone. Something warm and wet dripped down on Kain's face and he touched the substance, "What is this?" He sniffed it, and gave it a lick. Immediately he spat it out and screamed, "It's blood!" More of it spilled on them and they screamed and looked up. The pipe slipped out of Dave's hand as he stared at his dismembered friend Rupert, his body and entrails hanging on the clothesline up above.

"Hehe, pretty like rain." Large green aurora borealis eyes with a constellation in them, stared at the three and the owner of the eyes scaled down the wall. "But, it didn't suit my taste~ Now which one is it?" Dave shivered in fear and he made a mad dash out of the alley.

He didn't even make it far, as his head split clean off and landed in front of Kain. "Ah!" He screamed and backed away, from the head. He looked forward and saw the headless corpse wasn't there. He looked up and saw it now dangling upside down off the higher clothes line, it's blood dripping like an open faucet from the neck. "Hahaha." Matthew laughed and Kain screamed again, the Blonde demon was in front of him, letting the blood drip on his body and he twirled around, as if he was dancing underneath the rain, instead of the warm sticky blood. "So warm, so nice." He held out his hands and collected some of the blood, and his tongue snaked out and licked the pool of blood, "But still not good enough." He gave off a disappointed moan and ran his bloody hands through his hair, dying it red. "I wonder if it's you." He looked at Kain and stalked over to him.

Kain lifted the gun up and shot at Matthew. The demon took the bullet in the head and just smirked as he continued forward, the bullet falling out by itself. "That's not nice. That's not nice at all~" Matthew licked his lips, a large smile on his face, and his beautiful white teeth sparkled in the dark as he tilted his head to the side, "Can't we be friends~" Kain pulled the trigger over and over, nothing coming out at all, "Please don't kill me. Please!" The boy begged. Matthew cornered him against the wall and shook his head, a small fake frown on his face, "Don't beg," A large grin grew on Matthew's face, "It makes me want to extend this even longer!" He pressed his hands on either side of Kain's head and he brought his face close to boy's neck.

He took in his scent, and he moaned softly, "You smell divine~ So wicked you are~ How many did you kill, 1, 5, 100? Hmm~" His tongue slipped out and he dragged it up to Kain's cheek, licking the tears away. "Your heart, it's beating soo~ loudly. I could dance to it." Matthew placed his hand over Kain's heart, "Ba-bumpba-bumpba-bump~ Music to the ears." Matthew trailed his hand down to Kain's stomach and gave him a pout, "As much as I'd like to play, I'm a little busy~" He stabbed his hand into Kain's stomach, sinking it deeper up to his chest cavity, and ripped out the boy's heart, the large muscle beating in his hand. "Ah, so small, it feels like a butterfly." Kain slid down the wall and his hand tried to reach for the heart. "Did you know even if your heart stopped, or I guess in your case, ripped out, hehehehe~ That your brain is still alive, for seven minutes." Matthew smirked and opened his mouth and he swallowed the heart whole, "Mmm~ that's good. Now let's try the rest." Matthew grabbed the boy and slammed him against the wall, he ripped the boy's shirt off and went down on his knees and started tearing into the boy's stomach. Tears continued to fall from the boy as he watched in horror, his body slowly dying from the horrible torture.

Tabitha watched from the opposite corner, she had hid herself behind some garbage bags when the boys became distracted. She looked around the ground and spotted her purse on the ground, she crawled slowly to her bag and took out her cell phone and she called John.

"Tabitha? It's 10 o'-"

"John, help please!" She whispered, her eyes stuck to Matthew, who was still eating the now dead boy. "Where are you?" He asked, noticing the worry edge in her voice.

"I'm at-" The phone was taken from her and Matthew crushed it in his hand. Tabitha fell backwards, and stared up at Matthew, "Damien!" Matthew shook his head as he dropped the broken pieces, "No Damien~" He whispered as he stalked over to her. "Matthew then, just please stop!" Tabitha asked as her back hit the fence. Her hand gripped the fence and she forced herself on to her feet. "Please." Matthew stared at her, his eyes devoid of emotion and he brought a bloody hand towards her, "My mate is angry at me because of you...I must make it up to him by bringing him your heart~" His hand brushed her cheek, leaving small streaks of blood. "Don't hate me for this~ It is fault of my own weaker side to care for such a being like you~" He raised his hand, claws growing even longer as he aimed for her neck, and she stared at him, tears falling down.

"Stay away!" Matthew was sent flying backwards as a demon with burning yellow eyes, golden hair, smooth pale skin, large bared fangs, and an unearthly look to him, stood between him and Tabitha. It was John, and he looked ready to kill Matthew. A growl came from the Blonde as he stood up and stared at John, "...Hmph..." A smirk blessed Matthew's lips and both demons disappeared and reappeared midway in the alley, trying to attack each other. They went at it like animals, trying to tear each other apart with their claws and fangs. Matthew stabbed his hand into John's chest, and John punched him in the face, causing the blonde's neck to break.

Matthew chuckled at that and snapped it back to place and he stabbed his arm through John's heart. He gasped, blood coming from his mouth and he raised his own hand and stabbed it into Matthew's own heart. They roared in pain, and the kept their onslaught, blood covering their bodies, their sanity slowly being devoured by their beast inside. Tabitha watched all of this and she shouted, "Stop it!" The two stopped and Matthew fell off of John and clutched his head in pain.

"GAHAHAHA!" His back arched as he laughed and screamed, sounding like a mad man. John stared down at him and Matthew face the sky and let out a howling scream, as if thousands of demons were roaring into the night. They shivered at the scream, never once hearing something like that in their entire life, and he suddenly stopped. He stayed still, and rain started to fall, slowly at first, then immediately drenching all three.. "Damien? Matthew?" Tabitha called out as she went over to him. Matthew's eyes drifted to her and he stood up, "I'm sorry, Toby!" He ran away and Tabitha tried to reach out to him, "Damien!" John grabbed her and held her close, "Don't. He'll lose control again." She stared at John and pushed him away, "W-what are you?"

He looked at her, and simply said, "I'm the demon that...killed your friend's parents."

~ASC~

Run away, don't go back, never come back! All you do is bring death unto the people who love you, just run away, run away to a desolate place, to wither and die alone~ Away from everyone I love!

Sebastian I'm so sorry, but I don't want you to die, I lost you once, I can't lose you again! Forgive me please~

~ASC~

Sebastian turned the t.v. off. He watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, thousands of times, and he couldn't figure out how to get Matthew back. Jack made it seem so easy as he went to Sally, somehow they just both knew, and everything was fine, so how come his and Matthew's love continued to be in the pits of hell?

He sighed as he buried his face into the pillow again, if only to give him some comfort, knowing that Matthew had held the very same pillow. He felt tired, and self-loathing, and he wished Matthew would just kill him, instead of leave him, because he prefered to just die by his hands, then to suffer with out him by his side.

The roof creaked and Sebastian stood up, he could sense Matthew outside.

The shadows surrounded him and he was outside, the rain gushing down, and he could see Matthew, first clutching his head in pain, then suddenly he looked up at the dark raining sky, and his arms stretched out, blood washing off his body. Sebastian opened his mouth to say something, but stopped. Last time he tried to apologize, Matthew refused to listen. He looked at the other, seeing him with his back there, he wanted to run to him, to pull him into his arms and just hold him tightly, refusing to let go, but he didn't want the other to run. What should he do? How should he do it? And will Matthew stay? An idea blessed his mind and he cleared his throat and softly whispered to him.

"My dearest friend, if you don't mind~"

Matthew's hands went down his sides, but he still looked up at the darkness, he was listening to Sebastian, and pink tears mixed with the rain.

"I'd like to join you by your side~
Where we can gaze into the stars."

Sebastian waited for Matthew to sing back, just like Sally did with Jack, but the Blonde didn't respond at all. Sebastian sighed, his efforts were wasted, 'I really messed up this time.' He thought as he turned around and headed back inside. If Matthew really wanted to leave him, he could not force the other to stay, he loved him to much to do so.

"...And sit together~"

Sebastian paused, his heart skipping a beat, and he spunned around, Matthew looking at him, the rain slid down his eyes like thousands of tears, and his real ones dropping like tiny rubies, shimmering in the dark.

"Now and forever~"

Sebastian walked over to him and wrapped his arms around Matthew's waist.

"For it is plain as anyone can see. We're simply ment to be~"

Matthew smirked and shook his head, the water dripping off his hair, and feather, "You're really corny sometimes you idiot~" He laid his head on Sebastian's shoulder and his hands grasped the older demon's sides, "I found myself coming back here...Why can't I leave you? I don't want you to die Sebastian! So why couldn't I leave you?" He cried as he buried his face into Sebastian's shoulder. Sebastian held Matthew tightly against him, and he gently ran his fingers through the wet yellow hair. "It's because we love each other to much to let go of one another, because through all the pain, and the anguish, and the sorrow, we can't let go of each other." Sebastian whispered. They stood there in each others arms, the rain washing away the blood, mistakes, anger, sadness, denial, fear, and even the past away, it was only them and the crying heavens.
