I would like to thank XxJasper'sAngelxX and mione boleyn for going over my chapters :D

-Present-

A chime of an old grandfather clock echoed through the deserted hallways and woke up the sleeping brunette beauty in one of the large rooms that overlooks the large park opposite the street. Stretching like a well napped cat, she proceeded with her usual morning routine.

It was the start of the weekend which meant no studies for two days and to just relax.

Placing the delicate ceramic cup into its saucer after taking a sip of the soothing tea, she asked Sebastian, "Are there any plans for today?"

"No, my lady. You can do whatever you wish."

Bella hummed in happiness, "Perfect."

"Would you like some more tea, my lady?" He asked, holding a towel with one hand and tea pot on the other.

She smiled, "Yes please."

For the rest of the day she spent her time either reading on one of the large sofas in the library or on the rooftop facing the greenery across the street. She would never admit it openly, but ever since she had moved in with the two demons she had become more of a book worm, reading anything from classic pieces to intricate subjects such as science and maths. Having an intellectual demon as a tutor and a well organized schedule she had found subjects she used to hate or loath, quite interesting. Because of his fascinating teaching methods Bella was able to finish some of her subjects that should take up to a year in merely few weeks.

If they were here, would they be proud of me?

She sometimes wondered whether they were putting something on the tea she was drinking to make her brainy. One time she faintly heard Ciel grumble under his breath about his butler being nicer to her when it comes to teaching than him. It was too quiet to really recognized what he said so she brushed it off.

-x-

It was almost sunset when Bella decided to visit the park across the road. Grabbing her snugly red coat, gloves, hat and fixing her white medical eye patch making sure it was still in place, she made her way to the door shouting a quick goodbye to Sebastian, who was currently busy preparing dinner. Ciel was currently not home due to some business he had to attend to.

As she reached the edge of the path, she looked left and right for moving cars and seeing as there were none, Bella crossed the street merrily, almost skipping all the way.

They weren't kidding when they said they will leave Forks. It has been more than a year since she had met them and they had moved to four different places within that time span, the fourth being their current residence; New York. They had been in New York these past three months. Moving for the second time Bella concluded that Ciel was a big spender when it came to properties. Ciel always bought luxurious and spacious places to live, much like the Cullens. For living away from the city, he bought a very large house or manor...but she preferred to call it a 'gigantic mansion', as it had so many rooms that she wasn't able to count them all with her hands. However if they moved to cities, he bought spacious apartments with the best views the city had to offer. So for New York, he purchased a large apartment across central park. It was placed neatly on top of the building that on one side it had the whole view of Central park and the other side the cityscape of New York. After living with him for so long, she wasn't surprised anymore, whenever he spent tons of money on something or anything. She had learned after their first move to California that he is a businessman and as it turns out he was the sole owner of 'Funtom' company. It is England's top toy company that had rapidly grown in a little under the 3 years when it first started. Today they are still considered one of the most famous toy producers in the world, their products are so famous that one of their classic stuff, Bitter Rabbit, only 30 had been made during the first year they opened, are classified as priceless. It has been believed to have been said that the queen of England herself is in possession of five out of those thirty rabbits. The rest were either in museums, sold to private collectors, lost or destroyed by age and poor care.

She walked along the winding stone path, breathing in the cold winter air the outdoors had to offer. It has been a tiring week as always. Studying her usual subjects plus additional ones like German, French, Russian and last but not least, violin lessons. On weekends like this she dedicated the time for herself to stretch her legs and breath in the fresh air.

It was a chilly sunset when Bella decided to take her time to admire her surroundings. With that in mind she sat on an empty bench facing the lake ahead. Tucking in her cold freezing hands into her coat pockets she looked around the park to see it become magical. Small LED lights illuminated the trees and lamp posts like dancing fireflies. It was close to Christmas and looking around people were either hurrying to buy their presents or going home to their families.

Christmas...

Another Christmas without them, it still hurts thinking about them...no more laughter...smiles...hugs...all gone. The first Christmas without them were spent sitting on the floor, covered with a blanket opposite a lit fireplace, just staring into the empty space and trying to forget the world around her. It was too close to that dreadful day that she felt numb to do anything festive. She was alone...its true she lives with two demons, but they were strangers to her, they were not family.

Looking up into the darkening sky, she always tried to remind herself that even though they weren't here anymore, they were somewhere better, away from harm and the cruel life she was currently living in and soon she will follow them. 'Together again…, ' she thought.

Looking across the lake she saw a gazebo, the same type of lights that illuminated the trees decorated its beams and roof edges and right in the middle is a small group of musicians in their black tailored suits, playing their instruments in perfect harmony. Lights and music complemented each other and they made the simple park seem even more magical.

Looking at each of the musicians closely, one held her interest. The violinist, she couldn't help but chuckle at the memory of how she came about liking the instrument that she started to learn to play...well forced to learn... at first.

- 4 months ago -

Chairs...

Tied bodies...

Blood...

Note...

Bella's eyes snapped open as she gasped for air. Clutching where her thundering heart lies she sat up, chest heaving, beads of sweat and burning tears trickle over her temples and cheeks, the sheets were tangled around her body like a wrap.

The haunting nightmare seemed so real that It was like reliving that night all over again. That certain memory played in dreams like a broken record, constantly on repeat and she spent her nights screaming or thrashing around on her bed until woken up by Sebastian or herself. It was always her dream until three months after she started living with the demons and it lessened, night by night, week by week. Sometimes she wondered what caused it to become less frequent, few assumptions ran through her mind, but one stood out the most, it may be because she accepted the fact that they are gone and will never come back and she will soon follow them as soon as every immortal who had caused their pain and suffering, pay.

First on her list ...Victoria.

Feeling the dryness of her throat, she padded her way to the kitchen barefoot for a glass of water, shivering from the cold wooden floor.

Silently walking along the dimly lit hallway she heard a sound coming from the direction of the library.

Violin?

Curiosity got the better of her and she made her way to the library. For each step she took the soft mellow melody coming from the string instrument became louder and louder. By the time she arrived outside the library door she noticed the door was ajar and peaking through the gap she gasped.

There in the middle of the spacious room was Ciel playing, his jacket was neatly placed on a chair nearby and the sleeves of his plain white shirt were rolled up. He was standing up, his posture was straight yet relaxed, eyes closed and a small smile graced his lips. He was so lost in his memories that he never noticed Bella standing out in the hall. Seeing him like that gave her a glimpse of a side that she never knew Ciel had. Around her he always acted cool, collected, serious and distant. He rarely showed any emotion around people or anyone for that matter.

His tone was relaxed, yet there was hint of sadness, it felt like...losing someone. She wondered what made him play that particular piece, 'was it from something that happened in the past?' she thought.

Feeling like she was invading his privacy she took one more glimpse at Ciels concentrated form and left.

It was the next night when she heard him playing again, but this time it didn't seem like it came from the library. Curious she explored the halls in search for the navy haired musician.

Barefoot she quietly made her way up the stairs leading to the roof terrace. As she reached the end she saw the door slightly open, letting in some of the moonlight as it shone into the open gap, lighting up the dark corridor. Bella peaked through to see whether she could see him, but unfortunately she couldn't. She could still hear the music and feeling brave she slowly crept through the door and onto the rooftop.

Soft harmony still continues to play into the night, she followed it's origin and there at the ridge of the triangular roof was Ciel, playing his violin. His eyes were closed again in concentration.

Bella stood there mesmerized at the sight before her. His dark almost black navy hair glimmered in the moonlight, making some strands almost silver and his skin glowed slightly highlighting the fact there were no scars on his arms and face.

Handsome... gorgeous...beautiful...

Realising her thoughts she chastised herself.

What the hell Bella! Snap out of it!

She was frozen in awe until he stopped playing and looked at her directly with his piercing blue eye.

Her eyes widened and she stumbled back slightly as the panic started settling in. Backing away slowly, her eyes darted from Ciel to the door and back to Ciel again. Feeling embarrassed she tried to bolt out the door, but was suddenly stopped by Ciel, landing right in front of her. She felt blood rush to her cheeks, colouring them with a lovely reddish pink color. Unable to watch her step and because of her clumsy nature, she tripped backwards over air. She closed her eyes waiting for the impact but felt none, instead two strong, warm arms wrapped around her waist, hoisting her up to a standing position. She looked up to find herself only a few inches apart from Ciel's handsome face. His warm peppermint breath swept her face like a warm summer breeze. Her sight darted back from his kissable lips to his sapphire eye, her heart thumping loudly. After what seemed like minutes, maybe hours, Ciel was the first one who snapped from the intense gaze.

He cleared his throat and looked away, she swore she saw faint colouring in his cheeks.

"Come," he ordered, dragging her gently by the arm towards the library.

Still shocked from the close proximity they were in, she followed him without protest. She couldn't help but relax from his touch. Tiny sparks and tingling sensations coursed through her body from his small touch, she wondered what it would feel like for his warm hands to roam her body. Shaking off such inappropriate thoughts she told herself, 'Stop thinking these things! He is a demon...your contractor! You can't... You have to stop feeling this way...It's wrong...'

As they entered the room he dropped her hand and went towards the oak table near the wooden shelves. There was a small container neatly placed on top. He walked towards it and a few seconds later she heard clicking and the rustling of fabric. Peeking to his side Bella saw Ciel bring out what looked like a used violin.

Turning back to face her, he walked back and held out the string instrument to her.

"From now on, you will be learning how to play the violin. You will be using this as your starter," he said in a tone that left no discussion.

"I...I can't accept this," she stuttered, trying to refuse his offer.

"Do I need to remind you of the contract, Miss Swan? There is no need to be modest, this is one of my old ones I no longer use and since you haven't learned any instrument before, wouldn't it be a great time to try and learn?"

She stared at the instrument for a few minutes before taking it in defeat.

"Fine…," she grumbled, glaring at Ciel.

"Your class starts tomorrow..."

-Present-

Bella's lips curved into a smile, at first she had difficulty learning, but a few weeks later she was so ecstatic about being able to play a simple short piece in near perfection that it resulted in an awkward hug between her and Sebastian. Ever since she was little she always preferred the violin over any other instruments and she found playing a violin to be a better outlet of her different emotions; happiness, sadness, frustration, anger and lots more. Because of her shy nature she never really had the courage to pursue learning it, just listening was enough for her. Although sometimes she wished to be able to play the instrument, to be able to express her feelings freely.

Looking at her watch it was almost 8pm which meant she was late for dinner. As she was just about to stand up there was a sharp pain on the back of her head. Her vision become blurry and black sports started to last thing she saw was a blurry figure of what looked like a female with red head.

"Isabella...," a female voice sang in a taunting way.
