Stayed up later than I should've to write this, but hey, you guys (readers and reviewers) deserved it ^^ I hope it suits your tastes, so please review!

I woke up wearing nothing but bandages and some boxer shorts in my human form, something warm pressing up against my back. I was about to get closer to the heat source, when I remembered what had happened and just who I was with. I sat up quickly, but was pulled back onto the bed by none other than Sebastian. My body screamed in protest at the sudden movement and I gasped in pain, glaring through one eye at the damned butler.

"Should such a face be aimed at the one who saved you?"

"Saved me? All you've done is made my life even more hellish than it already was. Sharing a bed with a demon is far more tortuous than being beat and locked in a cage."

He just closed his eyes and smirked that infuriating smile.

I swear, I'm going to wipe that smile right off his face one day.

He got up and went to leave, but was stopped by Will and his trusty hedge clippers.

"It's past lights-out time. I cannot tolerate your soul stealing, so cease your wandering whilst I sleep."

"This is going to be a long night."

"You're telling me."

He turned back to me, smirking sadistically like he was plotting something. So, I changed into my wolf form and curled up at the foot of his bunk. His smirk vanished and became a scowl before he laid down.

Take that.

Ciel was woken up by a, rather feminine, scream and someone clinging to him.

"W-What?"

"S-Smile!…W-Wolf!"

Ciel quickly put on his eye patch before looking at the red wolf that was sitting patiently at the foot of his bunk. His room mate was shaking in fear, but Ciel just sighed and began getting dressed clumsily.

"A-Are you crazy? There's a wolf!"

"It's fine. Se- I mean Black has taken care of it."

"Oh…well, in that case, hurry up 'cause us newcomers hafta prepare breakfast."

He took one look at me and hurried off as Ciel struggled with his clothes. I couldn't hold back my snickering.

"Shut up, Damon. Unless you're gonna fix it."

"If that's what you want, Master."

I changed into my human form, dressed the same as last night, which caused Ciel to blush madly as I helped him dress. I smirked and whispered something in his ear, turning his face a deeper shade of red, before changing back.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Lizzy."

Ciel struggled to carry the heavy bucket of potatoes. I nudged his leg and rolled my eyes toward my back. He nodded and placed the bucket on my back and we both walked to a crate so he could peel the potatoes. I heard whispers behind us.

"Woah, that wolf is really nice to Smiles."

"Yeah, no one could get near that beast before."

I turned and growled menacingly, shutting them up instantly. Oh, and it turns out Ciel cannot peel potatoes. Sebastian took his fail and went to make fish and chips, so I followed him. Ciel was beginning to bore me.

Breakfast finished quickly and Sebastian gave me some leftovers before we headed to the practice tent. Sebastian told me to stick with Ciel, who mysteriously couldn't balance as well as he first did.

Figures. Sebastian probably had something to do with his success to begin with. This can't be too hard.

I jumped onto one of the large balancing balls and easily rolled in circles around Ciel, just to tick him off. His room mate chuckled at how a dog could balance better than he could and I hopped off the ball. Ciel was exhausted, but immediately perked up when his companion mentioned showers.

Won't he be surprised when he sees what their showers actually are.

I followed him, merely for the enjoyment of seeing his face and it was SO worth it. Watching him argue with his companion was funny and all, but when Ciel was pushed towards me, I was not pleased to be dunked in the freezing water with him. I went to shake myself, but when I heard Ciel yell, I ran over and tackled his companion. I growled and barred my teeth, but it was too late. The damage was already done.

Ciel ran off as the circus people tackled me, tied me to a stake, and tied my mouth shut. I didn't hurt the circus people, since they were only trying to protect one of their own, but I was only trying to prevent that…girl from hurting Ciel even further. I struggled against the ropes, but relaxed when I saw Sebastian heading to Ciel with some new clothes. I shivered in the cold winter air, curling into a ball as I thought.

He'll be able to take care of Ciel, but will I be able to take care of myself? I better not get a cold.

I sneezed, shivering in the cold night air. I had been forgotten…again. The rope was cutting into my snout and would probably leave a scar. I chuckled, thinking about how I now have two scars on my face, over lapping to look like an upside-down cross.

Fitting for a demon straight outta hell.

I heard some noise and saw Ciel sneaking into one of the tents. A long whiff of the air, and I also smelled Beast getting closer to the same tent.

Get out of there Ciel.

I struggled against the ropes again, but only caused it to cut into my neck as well. Beast entered her tent and I just caught Sebastian's scent. Since I heard no other noises, I assumed that he had somehow saved Ciel. Sure enough, Sebastian sped out of the tent to return to the show.

I sighed, a cough racking my small frame, as I curled up again trying to keep warm. My fur was still damp since I hadn't dried off properly, and I knew now that no one would come for me. I sniffed the air and smelled something getting closer to me. I stood up quickly, coming face to face with one of the venomous snakes that are normally inside one of the tents. I stepped back as the snake got closer, but the rope could only go so far. The snake launched itself at me and managed to nick me on the paw. I yipped.

If I'm going to have to deal with this, you're going down with me!

I growled at attacked the snake the best I could, being tied up and all. Just then, I heard Sebastian yelling. If he was yelling, something was obviously wrong. The snake got me again in my distraction before I finally managed to trap the sucker. I was about to kill the stupid thing, but the owner of said sucker quickly stole it from me. I could feel the poison sinking in and I began to shake rather violently.

"I'm sorry for biting you, but you shouldn't have gotten in my way. Says Wild."

I collapsed not much later, shaking from the cold and the poison. I smelled Sebastian's blood in the distance and managed to finally pull the stake from the ground and drag myself to where his scent was coming from.

When I finally got there, he was not there so I continued to trail his scent. When I poked my head into Beast's tent, I finally snapped. I left, not making a sound. Left the tent, left the circus, left him.

Ciel's fever had lowered considerably since the night before. So Sebastian lifted him up and began to head back to the mansion. They passed Will on the way, and he looked rather pleased.

"We've finished our business, so we will excuse ourselves now."

"It matters not to me where you go with your master. It just means I can move around at ease again."

Sebastian continued to walk, but turned around when he remembered something.

"You haven't seen the wolf have you?"

Will pushed up his glasses and looked at the showers where the wolf was before.

"She was left by the showers, but it seems she has escaped and left before you. It seems I'm not the only one who can't stand your presence."

Sebastian frowned slightly and quickly reached the mansion, where they changed and prepared to leave once again. They were blocked by Agni and Soma, both upset about Ciel trying to leave with a cold. After some aggressive discussions, Sebastian left Ciel to rest and began his search for Damon.

She couldn't have gone far from the circus. I could smell her scent heading into the forest, but why would she head away from the mansion? She was more than willing for our help before.

He got closer to where her scent was, but when he found her, she was surrounded by her captors.

"You thought you could get away from us? Hah! You should know better by now mutt!"

She wasn't attacking and didn't look focused at all. Sebastian began to worry and quickly took out some of the men.

"What're you doing Damon? You have prey here in front of you and you're just going to let them take you?"

She looked up, but the normal spark in her eyes was gone. She didn't even fight when one of the men slashed at her hind legs with a knife. Sebastian killed him immediately after, but Damon didn't move an inch. All the men were dead now, but she just turned and walked away, not even bothering to acknowledge Sebastian. Thoroughly pissed, Sebastian tackled her to the ground, cutting off the ropes around her mouth. She didn't even blink.

"Where are you going? I thought you wanted to return to the mansion."

"There's nothing there for me. I'm better off on my own."

She got out from under him and began walking, only to lean against a tree when she began coughing.

"You're obviously not better off here. Return to the mansion or I will have to take you by force."

"Really? Like how you forced Beast to your bed?"

Sebastian was taken aback by that, wondering when she came in and what she saw. Damon took this chance to put a little distance between her and the still shocked demon. She didn't get far, for the poison caught up and she collapsed, seizing and convulsing. This knocked Sebastian out of his thoughts and he immediately rushed over to her, only to have her snap at him.

"Stay…away from me!…You damn demon…You've helped enough…"

She passed out and Sebastian quickly ran back to the mansion, laying her down on the bed in his room, to keep Soma and Agni from getting in the way. Damon had changed back to her human form when she'd passed out, and Sebastian now had a full view of the snake bites on the back of her hand and the left side of her chest.

When did she get bit? Why couldn't she have told me?

He thought back to when he last saw her and remembered that Will said about being by the showers and escaping. He also remembered the rope that he'd cut off as well as the one that was hanging around her neck when he found her. The last thing he thought of was when he released the snakes, knowing that some had gotten outside.

Shit! I was so focused on Ciel's mistake that I wasn't careful! She got hurt again…and this time, it's my own fault.

He knew Damon wouldn't die from the bite, but he also knew that she was in immense pain from her wounds as well as her body fighting the poison. He cleaned her up and placed a wet cloth on her head to cool her fever, before he sat on the bed and played with a strand of her hair.

You unlucky pup. I'm one who promised to protect you and yet, I'm the one who caused you to get hurt. I swear, I will not make the same mistake again.
