Ciel was led to the basement, his eye-patch long forgotten. He went wide eyed when he saw the candles with their unnatural purple, red and blue flames. The color was different for each candle. There was a circle of them, and in the middle a black flame billowed. Lavenders hair was being whipped about by the wind that was coming from no-where. She eyes had seemed to be merciless from the way the purple color shifted around dangerously. blood flowed from each of her wrists and was being devoured by the flame as it slowly flowed to the ground and trailed towards the flame. Whispering sounds could be heard, which terrified Ciel for some reason he didn't understand... Bloody tears were running down lavenders face now. But she stared on, unblinking. Her eyes alive but her body frozen in place, deathly still. Suddenly, her head turning towards him. She grinned with bloody fangs and the sight was almost too horrifying for Ciel. Voices started chanting a single phrase. "Amonka o'chariel Sadoniel o'rikia Sadomia Richel!" They said, the voices said it quietly at first, but it slowly increased in volume as Ciel approached Lavender. Claude waited from a distance for his part to come in. She still wore the horrific grin as she was approached. Her head tilted to the side, and her eyes turned pitch black. Ciel flinched, but kept slowly walking towards her until he was in front of her. Her head slowly tilted back up, as if she was a moving wind-up doll.

"Step into the flame Ciel." she said in a low demonic voice that chilled him to the core. Tehn he started hearing voices, and Claude heard them too, which startled him. this had never happened before...

"No! Ciel please! Dont do it!" Wept a woman's voice. His mother.

"Ciel, you dont have to do this... Please.." His father's voice pleaded.

"Please, my darling nephew... they have led you astray... Come back to the light... be with us." Came madame reds voice. Ciel had started crying unwillingly. He snarled in anger.

"NO!" He screamed. "I LIVE IN THE DARK! NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT! I WONT LOSE IT! I WILL NEVER LOSE MY HATRED! MY DARKNESS!" He shouted. he stepped into the flame and a agonized scream left his lips. It was short. And when it was over other screams could be heard.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" His mothers.

"AHHHHGHHH!" His fathers.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Madame reds.

and then he saw nothing but blackness, but he could still hear and feel. he heard a demonic shrieking sound and flinched, it was lavender.

He heard the chanting so loud in his ears he thought he might faint. "AMONKA O'CHARIEL SADONIEL O'RIKIA SADOMIA RICHEL! AMONKA O'CHARIEL SADONIEL O'RIKIA SADOMIA RICHEL! AMONKA O'CHARIEL SADONIEL O'RIKIA SADOMIA RICHEL! AMONKA O'CHARIEL SADONIEL O'RIKIA SADOMIA RICHEL!"

and then his whole body started to burn, but at the same time he felt frightfully cold. Pain filled his body and then everything stopped.

It just stopped...

This was Claude's point of entry. he cut his wrist and ed some of his blood to Ciel. and he motioned the now back to normal lavender to come over. She fed him some of her own blood. Tehn they poured the aging potion into his mouth. In the morning they would both be eighteen year old demons...
