Sophia wanted to scream for Claude to stop but couldn't. He was going to work her up to an orgasm in only a few minutes. Sophia wished like hell that he was inside her so that she could feel his warmth. She shut her eyes and shuttered as her climax continued to approach. How was Claude doing this? Claude stops as if reading her mind. Sophia is left feeling unfulfilled. Claude pulls Sophia closer to the edge of the piano.

"We can't." says Sophia

She lifts a hand to stop Claude but he pushes it back down to her side. Sophia realizes that Claude is lowering himself between her legs.

"No you can't do this."

Claude begins and Sophia quickly learns there's no place Claude's shy about licking. His tongue flicks against her little hot button while using his fingers to probe deeper inside her. He swiftly moves his tongue downward below her opening and toward her second hole. Claude doesn't stop this time. He allows her to climax and spill her lady juices into his mouth. Sophia trembles and screams pulling his hair as she releases into his mouth. How did he make her body respond so powerfully? Claude comes up licking his already moist lips and smirking.

"Delicious." He says

Sophia can't believe it but the first orgasm only makes her want more. She stares at Claude with anticipation.

"Shall we stay in here for the day?" he asks

His brown eyes glisten.

"I—I have to go!" shouts Sophia

She had feelings for Sebastian still and until they were able to talk again she couldn't go forward without feeling overwhelming guilt. It was already bad enough that she had allowed Claude to go this far. Should she tell Sebastian about this or keep it to herself? Would he already know? Where could she find him? Surely Master Phantomhive knows. Sophia slides off the piano landing on her feet not giving Claude the chance to stop her. She runs to the door and opens it never looking back at Claude. She was too afraid that if she did she would be stuck in those eyes and not be able to go through with the right thing. Claude doesn't try to stop her as she dashes out through the door. She runs down the hallway as far away from Claude as she can. She has so many mixed emotions that she suddenly feels sick.

Where was Sebastian, and when was he coming back? She had to get answers, but she had no power to demand them she was only a maid. Things were worse without Sebastian's presence. No! She had handled worse situations all on her own. No one fingered her as the murderer of Ms. Wiser. What was the difference between then and now? Why was she always running scared? It all started with that thing in the woods. Maybe she should have confronted the thing. After making that suggestion to herself Sophia shakes her head. She had to be going crazy. This must just be bad karma because of her past dirty deed.

Sophia stops at the top of the stairs she almost misses the first one altogether. She tries to calm herself for a minute by taking deep breaths. Suddenly Sophia receives a hard shove from behind. She doesn't have the time to turn around to see who pushed her. She watches the stairs come closer it seems like their coming closer, and closer to her face in slow motion. She tries to throw up her hands but her entire world seems to turn upside down as she rolls down the stairs. It's a long fall, and her head clunks against the stairs because she can't seem to shield it. After a long fall Sophia lands at the bottom of the staircase unconscious, and broken.

Baldroy was the first to find Sophia laying at the bottom of the stairs. He yells right away for help and tries talking to Sophia but she remains unconscious. Ciel orders Baldroy to put her in bed and send for the doctor. Claude is ordered to keep the other servants busy. Ciel insists on waiting for the doctor alone with Sophia in her room. Ciel sits in a cushioned chair that has been set for him next to Sophia's bed. He stares at Sophia with his uncovered eye.

"Sophia you have become a great bother to me." says Ciel

Sophia doesn't move from the bed or show any signs of consciousness.

"You have done things here that I can't put my finger on. You were the cause of Sebastian going away. He wasn't as composed as usual. It's all your doing. I have a contract with him that I will see fulfilled. No one will get in my way."

Sophia remains in a deep sleep.

"Even if you have given him your body I have already given him my soul."

Sophia is surrounded by darkness but a thumping sound begins. It starts softly but begins to increase in volume. The sound has rhythm, the sound is music. Sophia wakes startled by the sudden higher volume of the sound. She looks down and she's wearing her night gown. What happened last? She ran away from Claude but why was she in bed now? No matter how hard Sophia thought back to the past events she couldn't recollect ever changing, or getting into bed. Sophia moves her body to get out of bed. What time was it? It must be nighttime because not the slightest bit of light shines through the curtains in her room. How long had she been sleeping? All of her joints are stiff and there's a terrible pain in her right shoulder. Just as she makes up her mind to get out of bed Finnian enters the room carrying a long copper tube on a tray along with a bowl filled with what looks to be soup. He almost drops the tray on the floor after he sees that Sophia is awake.
