Thank you all so dearly for being very patient, I had just gotten married in October which took much of my time but here it is! Honestly I was truly sad to see this coming to it's end, this was such a thrill to write but I will be continuing on with my other fics! I do hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did finishing this. ((Honestly was a tear between wanting to do the wedding scene or ending it how it was.))

Ciel gasped as she attempted to move, the shackles limiting her room to move as glass shattered around her.

"Mistress Ciel!" Mai threw Daniel aside with one of her whips extending from her body before running to Ciel, ripping the comforter off the bed and wrapped her in it. "A thousand pardons, are you alright?" She nodded, both of the girls jumping when they heard a horrific shriek. "I'm afraid I must attend to this mongrel." Ciel nodded, feeling a familiar sensation on her back.

"I order you to dispose of him by any means necessary, do not fail me." Mai smirked, a slight spark in her eye as she let the black marks extend once again from the palm of her hands.

"As you command, so it shall be."

Sebastian followed Arok into the grand ballroom, sighing when he saw it was painted to mimic that of an fallen angel.

"Always with the horrible taste, such as stealing my Ciel." Arok bowed, narrowly dodging the forks Sebastian threw at him.

"Ah now, now Sebastian. You know nothing of what pain is. You took the single thing I wanted, the only thing I have ever asked for and now you wonder why I took yours? Don't you see, we are merely in the final dance." Arok drew two rapiers from their place upon the wall, tossing one to Sebastian. "Now, let us finish this." They leapt, meeting each others blows easily.

Ciel neatly stepped to the side as Mai threw the remains of Daniel into the corner of the room, briefly wiping her hands on the remains of her dress.

"Now then My Lady, let us prepare before we lea-" Mai swung around as the doors opened, Ciel cried out as Hannah entered, carrying a bag in her arms. She lifted her head, tears of blood streaming down her cheeks as she fell to her knees.

"Mistress Ciel, forgive me for now I see what I could not. I acted without binding, just allowing myself to be blinded by the rage I felt for my past mistress, she and her sister were all I ever had..." She turned her head down, holding up the bag. "Please allow me a chance to redeem myself, this was left at the front for you." Mai looked to Ciel, who nodded, before proceeding to pick up the bag.

Ciel groaned as Mai finished fitting her into the dress that had been concealed in the bag, the black ornate corset shimmered with each movement, the high-low skirt not blocking the knee-high boots to allow easy movement. Hannah stood off in the corner as Mai stepped back, readjusting her bow of her uniform.

"Now then Mistress, what are my orders?" Ciel smiled, looking to Hannah she felt a burning hatred rise in her, yet she ushered it down.

"Your orders... Take me to Sebastian." Mai made her way to the door as Ciel followed, stopping in the doorway she spoke quickly. "Hannah, come with us. Perhaps you could be of use against Arok." Ciel heard the steps following behind as they made their way down the hall.

Sebastian growled as he side-stepped again, attempting to get a blow upon Arok's unmarked body. He frowned as Arok landed a safe distance away, laughing slightly.

"Come now Sebastian have you truly dulled yourself down so much? What about that fierce creature that took my eye so many decades ago?" Sebastian smiled, holding his rapier eye-level.

"Come now you don't think I'd let you distract me so easily now would you? I can hear your succubi scrambling about in the shadows." Arok smirked, point his rapier to the Ceiling, the painted Ceiling once depicting angels now covered by five succubi.

"Do you not recognize them Sebastian? Leana would be very disappointed right now."

The men turned as the doors flew open, revealing Ciel followed by Mai and Hannah. Sebastian gasped upon seeing her, but he could sense something was different.

"Ciel..." He rushed towards her as she stood there in disbelief, only to find himself surrounded by the succubi.

"Oh dearest me, Ciel that color doesn't suit you one bit. And Mai, such a disappointment." Mai kept her stoic expression as she flung a black mass towards Arok, he tilted his head with ease avoiding it. "Now, now dear Mai there will be none of that." Hannah quickly grabbed Ciel, moving her swiftly away as chains grabbed Mai's wrists, burning the very skin that they touched.

"Mai!" Ciel felt tears in her eyes as she heard her scream in agony, turning she saw that Sebastian was swiftly attempting to take care of the succubi but as soon as he removed one, more showed up in it's place. "Sebastian! Take care of yourself, that is an order!" Among the swarm she caught his smile, his eyes shining brightly.

"Of course my Ciel, as you order so it shall be done." Ciel screamed as she felt herself ripped from Hannah's arms. She hit the stone floor hard, just in time to see Arok standing over Hannah's pierced body. Hannah coughed as she smiled to Ciel, her lips moving but no words coming out as she began to alight in a white blazing flame.

"Now, now Hannah of you I did not expect treachery, is it true that only men show true loyalty where it belongs?" He turned to Ciel, a sadistic smile upon his face. "Did you honestly think that these three would be able to help you? That you could cast me aside with such petty pawns?" He threw away his sword, still impaled within Hannah as he made his way to her, timing each step with every word. "You know nothing of the life you have Ciel, you bind yourself so blindly just to get your way and for what?" He stopped, motioning behind him with a flick of the wrist. "For you to think of yourself as the girl who can overcome anything? You may have killed the queen, you have had your impudent butler at your call and for what? To defend you? To taint your heart with this false hope of love?" Ciel clenched her fists, trying to find the right words to say but could only come up short as Arok grabbed her chin, forcing her to stand as he made her look into his eye, the colors swirling around the slit in the center. "You are but a pawn in my game, Sebastian took what I loved for so long from me, now I will take you away from him!" Ciel closed her eyes, waiting for something to happen, but instead she felt a warmth upon her hand, blinking she opened her eyes to see the ring Sebastian had given her glowing brightly and Arok cursing. He grabbed a fist of her hair before turning to Sebastian, now restrained by the succubi to see his smile.

"I know your trick Arok, I always have. I have a contract with my Mistress to protect her, and that is exactly what I have done." Arok swore once more, turning back to Ciel he began a chanting in a language she could not understand. The succubi restraining Sebastian repeating after Arok him quietly as they fought to keep him restrained.

Vos belong ut mihi , atrum pectus pectoris

inficio EGO mos putus vos

obaudieritis vocem meam ambitio haec vox veritatis

iam audite mihi

Ciel screamed as she felt the ring glow brighter, holding it up she gasped as she felt the gem snap causing the white to swirl around her, suddenly swirling above her heart before entering her. Something within her snapped, she couldn't help the screams of pain as fire seemed to burn through her, the blinding light coming from within her slowly wrapping it's way around her body.

"Yes! Be mine Ciel! Forever we are bound to another!" She heard Arok's hysterical laughter as her feet left the floor, her head tilting back to see Sebastian struggling against the other succubi joined in singing again, Mai fighting against the white shackles around her in a vain attempt to escape, she felt the tears flow from her as the pain became too much, her screams becoming louder as the light became blinding.

She saw the cottage, a quant small building but turned smiling as the man walked beside her. Taking her hand in his white glove she looked to him, smiling at his gorgeous face she had grown fond of his mirrored eye. He laughed, turning to her as they stopped in front of the white rose bushes. Sweeping her up in his arms he spun her around-

something isn't right... this isn't who I'm with. What is this place?

A flash of someone's face flashed in front of Arok's, a scream from somewhere outside that she felt she could trust.

Who is that?

He laughed as he laid beside he on the bed, twirling her hair around his fingers as he praised her so highly. "Ciel, my love we will always be together."

This is wrong, this isn't my memory, why can't I remember?

Once more she saw the flash of a man, the voice clearer.

"I swear to you I will not let that happen, I am your Butler and lover and I will never let another man touch you in such a manner. You are one of the strongest mortals I've ever known and I will not let you break, you will always have me by your side as long as our contract holds. You are my love and this is my vow that nothing will happen that you don't so long as long as is in my power. You made me swear to never lie to you and this is the honest truth, I love you Ciel."

I am Ciel Phantomhive. I am the lover of Sebastian Michaelis, my Butler, my Demon.

Mai winced as she watched the blinding light, a feeling of dread seeping over her.

"Sebastian, we must act upon this!" Sebastian stood calm now, the succubi stopping their chanting as Arok's laughter stopped short.

Suddenly the entire room shook, the Ceiling cracking through the center of the beautiful portrait. Everyone cried out as the once shining light turned pitch black, a cold laugh escaping beneath the smoke.

"Sniff out the unclean..." The Succubi hissed, stepping back from Sebastian as their wings tucked behind them.

"What the hell is this?" Arok shouted as he stepped towards the black mass, only to be thrown back by an unseen blast. An arm reached out from within, dripping with black as the black glove separated into fingers.

"Clear out the unwanted..." Another laugh rang as the delicate fingers snapped, Mai looked down as the shackles around her fell consumed in black flames. The succubi screeched as the flames danced from where the chains once were to around them; each of them tried to fly away only to be engulfed one by one. Arok stood, wiping the blood from his face.

"What the hell is this? That spell cannot be broken! My words are the only truth!" Once more the laugh came, Sebastian gasped when he saw the ring glittering upon a finger, completely intact, suddenly more of the body began stepping out. The once hidden body began to show it's color, a perfect almost porcelain skin began showing through, the dress looked to be out of smoke, wrapping around the body, barely covering the full bosom; lacing around to show the stomach but wrapped back around to cover it down to the knees yet the back hung to the floor. The feet showing became wrapped around with the smoke, presenting knee high heels, the heel replaced with a blade which scrapped across the floor with each step causing sparks. The shadows receded towards her face, raven hair cascaded down as the red lips twisted into a smile before two eyes shined. One a deep blood red, the other a symbol of a contract tainted in the same red.

"Purge the world of those unwanted." Black wings rose from her back as she raised her arms, turning her heated gaze upon Arok while black feathers torn in places. Arok stepped back, fear finally showing in his eye.

"Impossible, this is impossible! If the spell were ever to be broken-" Before he had a chance to finish Mai stepped forward, her head twisting left and right.

"Ciel broke it, a mortal who refused a angel and a demon... One whom surpasses and picks her side, her soul no longer touchable." Sebastian fell to his knees, his eyes showing his disbelief. Ciel laughed as she flapped her wings, taking a step towards Arok.

"Someone with power and yet he does not understand what potential he can do. You focused so much on revenge that he could not realize your own demise." With swiftness Ciel was in front of him, her hand wrapped around his neck. Arok clawed at her gloves, attempting to attack her but only to find he could hardly touch her. Ciel laughed as she brought her wings around them, lifting them into the air as the black began creeping from the corners, swirling around them. The cries echoed through the mansion, blood painting the white walls red as a howl from beyond began to drown the cries of pain.

Slowly the darkness subsided, Ciel stood alone in her torn dress, her steps uncertain as she stood at the spot where Arok had been. She looked to Sebastian, her eyes still red as she began to fall, his name unable to cross her lips before he was there, holding her. He cradled her carefully as Mai slowly walked over to Hannah, drawing the sword quickly.

"Ciel... Ciel are you alright?" Ciel groaned, looking up at Sebastian she smiled softly with tears in her eyes as she placed her hand upon his cheek.

"Sebastian... I'm sorry you are bound to me now, I have no soul any longer..." Before she could finish his lips were upon hers, she gripped his shirt attempting to keep the kiss longer before they heard footsteps, breaking apart they saw Mai holding Hannah up.

"What are your orders My Lady?" Ciel gasped as Sebastian stood with her in his arms, sighing she looked to him.

"Sebastian, you know my orders. Burn this place down, leave no evidence behind." Sebastian nodded before heading out. Ciel watched over her shoulder at the mansion as it begin to burn, enjoying for once in her life the flames of destruction.

Ciel groaned as she sat up, finding herself back in the apartment. She was surprised when she spotted Sebastian sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling at her.

"You know we only need to sleep recreationally, and yet you passed out like a light as we were walking away." Ciel blushed but smiled as she sat up, stretching a bit before noticing something in his hands.

"Sebastian what is that?" He handed her the letter, smiling softly.

"It came yesterday. Glancing at him once she opened the letter, recognizing the writing immediately.

My dearest Ciel,

I am grateful for Earl Michaelis finding you safe and sound, please accept my sincere apologies for what I am about to say. Due to Sebastian taking up the mantel of the household in your absence I can not bestow your property back to you, however you will always have your title. I hope to see you soon, as we are throwing a ball tomorrow I wish for you to be the guest of honor.

Always with love,

Queen Victoria

Ciel felt herself shaking as she handed the letter back to Sebastian, letting him read over the words. She watched his back straighten before he stood, looking to her briefly before excusing himself. She quickly got up, only to find her legs weak; she gasped as Sebastian caught her again, sitting down with her upon his lap.

"Ciel… No matter what the Queen says…" He paused long enough to catch her in a kiss, before smirking at her. "One day you will be my wife, back in your rightful place and the world will be yours to rule again…" She blushed, turning away from him she felt a single tear roll down her face.

"Sebastian… our contract..." She looked to him, letting him wipe away her tears as she spoke. "What happens now that I have no soul for you to claim? I broke our contract…" He smiled, kissing her upon the forehead before pulling her close he rubbed her back.

"Ciel, worry not about that. Our contract now stands never ending. And I will never leave you…" She smiled, leaning into Sebastian enjoying knowing that finally they would indeed be able to be together.
