I raced after them, trying my best to keep the damn butler in my view. Carrying Ciel and Nichole seemed to slow him down by a millisecond. Maybe less even. Twilight peaked over the horizon behind me, making it seem like I was chasing the darkness of night.

Anger pressed in on me, and I felt like ripping a few entrails out of some people. Yeah, that would sound nice currently.

Suddenly, however, a large cloud of dust blew right in front of me, blinding me. I couldn't see a thing ahead of me. Sebastian must've done it so I couldn't follow him. That sly man…

If I stopped I knew he'd be gone forever, and I didn't know where Ciel's mansion is. So sightlessly I ran as quickly as I could in the direction (I think) I was headed. Hopefully this was the right way…If it isn't, Nichole…she might…

No, I wouldn't think of it. She was going to be fine. She and I were going to live together….I know it.

Finally, I ran out of the brown cloud, cloaked in gritty dust. It stuck to my eyes, but I quickly burned them off. Yeah, my eyes can do that now. Demons are amazing.

Of course, my awful luck was apparent as Sebastian and the others have totally disappeared…Great.

"Crap…NICHOLE!" I screamed and ran faster in that direction. They had to be going this way. After all, I was going this way until that dust storm Sebastian made blew me hit. Did it turn me around or something? I was now facing the depleting sun and this road looks familiar to me…

I stopped and surveyed my surroundings desperately. Claude had kept me well protected while I he was alive, and didn't let me go out too far from my manor. Now I seriously want to find his corpse again and slap it until more blood came out.

I looked around again and felt sweat on my forehead dripping down. I could keep going this way and get even more lost or turn back to see if there was any other way those three could've gone.

Wait…what was…that smell? Three smells actually.

One smelled like tea and honey, one nail-polish and death, and the other like horse and sweat. Wait, it was them!

Bounding towards the smell of the tree, I knew it must've been the right way.

"Nichole…" I muttered, "I'm coming for you. Don't worry…"

…...

It took me an unfortunately long amount of time before I finally found Ciel's mansion. It loomed in the black of night and looked rather deadly. The perfect home for an evil dog like him.

As I ran to the entrance, I heard sounds of gunshot and felt my coat's end being torn right through.

"Damn it!" I said to myself, searching for the nameless attackers. Must've been Ciel's special guards or Sebastian…Whoever it is, they'll die. "Show yourselves!"

More gunfire returned my question, and I had to duck as small bullets flew right over my head, taking a few strands of my blonde hair away with them. At least it wasn't my head, huh? I knew demons couldn't die from bullets, but I guess the thought of getting hurt was still a thought for me.

More bullets shower over me, and I had to leap high up in the air (I wanted to yell 'DEMON JUMP' as I did, but decided it would look dumb) and raised Lævateinn up above my waist. As fun and appealing KILLING these annoying attackers, it would only waste my time.

More and more gunshots sound and rip my precious purple coat more and more. Ugh, Nichole has to mend that later…In all honestly, this felt like that fight I had with the boys next store back at Nichole's place. I was equally as powerless as I was here to hurt these idiots as I was back there. It all felt so long ago…

"TAKE THIS! I WON'T LET ANYONE IN THERE!"

Shattering my thoughts, I spun my head in the way of the girly voice just to see a giant piece of roof flying right at me. I quickly crouched down and jumped up right over the fragment as it spiraled farther and farther away.

Was that it? It better be…I'm sick of- REALLY?! More pieces of roof and bullets hit me square on, and I fell back onto the mansion's balcony. Blood poured out of some of my wounds, but I felt no real pain at all. Must be a demon thing.

"There he is! On Young Master's balcony!" The voice yelled and I heard others yell back.

Ciel's balcony, huh? Then that meant… I ran towards the giant glass doors and slam right into them. My force sent the door breaking into millions of little glass pieces that flew everywhere, including into me. But the thick pieces only dug a foot deep or so into my chest, so I was fine. I felt one poke my heart, but I was still alive.

I rushed deeper into the mansion, running out of Ciel's room. Now, where would they put Nichole…The cellar maybe? Perhaps I could smell her out.

I took a deep breath and smelled extreme fear from deep within the mansion, and rushed to there. She'd obviously that.

Spiriting through the dark, unlit mansion, I soon released the intensity of my wounds. Shards of sharp glass had found their place all over my body, and left giant cuts that left my green vest soaked with maroon blood. My arm had an enormous cut running all down my arm and dripping blood all over Lævateinn, painting its greenish-teal blade. There was also a cut right under my left eye making it look like I was crying blood.

"Ugh…" I muttered before biting my lip hard. This was shaping up to not be as easy as I hoped. As weird and awful as it sounds, I wanted Claude to come and KILL my enemies for me. Do it for yourself wasn't fun…

"AAAAAUUUUUUGGHHHHH!"

"Nichole!" I screamed back, instantly recognizing her voice. "I'm coming!"

I bounded towards the cellar door, guided by her screams and smell. Kicking the closed wooden door down, I ran down the concrete stairs as fast as my legs would carry me.

I jumped down the last flight of stairs and met Ciel. He was standing there in an all black outfit that made him look even more like a woman.

"Ah, Tracny. Hello." He stated calmly. Behind him I heard Nichole strife a scream.

"Look, I don't give a shit right now Ciel! Give me back Nichole! Now!" The last part came out dark and sounded how a demon should sound.

"I'm afraid you cannot have her currently. She is going through my torture chamber right now." Ciel said these words with a smug grin, which only fired me up more. "I'm afraid you can't see her. Sebastian is…working with her currently."

"I will KILL you Ciel." I I hiss, my eyes glowing and the blood dripping from my body collecting into a puddle at my feet. "A duel! We have a duel right here, right now. You don't cheat and I won't use my powers, alright?!"

Nichole screamed once more, and made me twitch. I'd be there soon Nichole, I promise… Ciel only laughed evilly and took a sword mounted on his wall. "Of course, Trancy…I look forward to your death. Sebastian gave me this sword. Apparently it can murder demons… "

"That threat doesn't affect me. I am not losing." I licked off the blood from my sword in a few strokes of my tongue. "I swear, I'll KILL you and take my Nichole back!"

Ciel raised his sword and lunged at me, and I did the same. This was the final battle. Winner lives, loser dies.

Yeah, I lied. Next chapter will be last and then the epilogue. Sorry it took so long to update. :( Anyway, hope ypu liked the chapter, even though nothing really happened other than FIGHTING! Sooooo see you guys later with the final saddest chapter EVER. Bai.
