Note: HEY a new chapter! Since I missed one last week and I want ch 29 to be posted on a Sunday I thought... why not? Anyway, I'm not quite sure when I'll be able to have pt 3 posted. I was hoping to start it two weeks or so after ch 30. But seeing as I haven't even started writing I'm not sure that'll happen. I'm not totally lost anymore, though! I've got a brief idea as to what I'm going to do :3 I just have to write it...
Sebastian was waiting for Ciel on the stairs just inside the manor, Rose in his arms. For once he wasn't coddling the child, but sat silently brooding, his eyes dark and menacing.
"Welcome home, my lord," he said. "I'm assuming you're ready to make the trade. The child for reality."
Ciel walked right up to Sebastian. "You will never know the end of torture again, demon," he hissed. "After everything you've said and done, all of the promises you've made…" He shook his head, disgusted. "I'm such an idiot to have fallen in love with your act. How did I not know any better?"
Sebastian was silent, looking down at Ciel, crimson into blue. Rose was between them, gurgling and trying to reach for Ciel's bow. He drew back, though, his gaze moving to the child. There was a terrible aching in his chest. He wished he'd spent less time wallowing in his own sorrows and more caring for his only daughter, but he supposed that it only made this easier.
"Take your payment, demon. Give me back my life."
Sebastian smirked. "Yes, my lord."
