*Usual disclaimer applies
~ Previously ~
"I…I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise" he mumbled in his sleep his face marred with guilt and regret.
"Promise…wha-" Siera gasped as a sharp pain shot through her head and interrupted her thoughts as she watched him.
"S…C-Claude" she thought to herself holding her throbbing head and fainting.
~ Currently ~
"What do we do Samuel…what do we do…" Kayla mumbled softly as Samuel held her tight in his arms. Samuel frowned as he felt her body tremble.
He tightened his hold on her.
"Relax Kayla…I'll find a way to get her back to normal" he promised. Kayla nodded as she placed her hand on his chest.
Samuel gently kissed her forehead gently holding her hand.
"This is Siera we're talking about. She always surprises us doesn't she?" he said a soft smile on his face as he caressed her cheek.
"Besides the more she is with Sebastian the more she faster she will break free of the spell cast on her" he said consoling her. Kayla nodded slowly.
"I'll head out and find out more about the spell and how to break it. Take care of the three for me" Samuel said and kissed her forehead one last time before heading out.
"Stay safe…" Kayla thought to herself as she sighed and sat on the bed.
-Meanwhile-
The bell of the clock that rang at every hour woke Siera. She held her head as she sat up and shook her head trying to shake off the after effects of fainting.
Siera stood next to the window looking considerably calm. She looked at the demon lying unconscious on the bed and sighed when he frowned and mumbled in his sleep. She sat next to him and propped his pillows properly her hair slightly brushing his cheek as she did so. She tucked the strand of hair behind her ear and watched him as he slowly started to breathe evenly a soft smile on his face. Unknown to her a smile appeared on her lips and her cheeks turned a soft pink. She moved a strand of his hair away from his face and watched as his peaceful expression returned.
"Just who is this demon…do I know him? Have I seen him somewhere before?" Siera thought to herself as she watched him her fingers still lingering on his cheek.
Suddenly a rough knock was heard on the window. Siera quickly withdrew her hand and turned to see a lower class demon holding a letter. She walked towards him and opened the window.
"Who are you?" she asked her voice crisp. The demon bowed,
"Greetings, the Third. I bring a message from Master Claude" he said his head lowered. Siera's eyes brightened immediately her earlier soft demeanor for Sebastian disappearing in the instant she heard Claude's name.
"Give it to me" she said holding out her hand. The demon handed her the letter and bowed one last time before disappearing.
Siera lost interest in the demon and impatiently tore of the envelope and took out the letter.
Dear Siera,
I apologize for not writing to you earlier my love. I miss you deeply and a part of my heart seems to be missing when I realize that you're not in my arms. I wish to see you soon my love. Meet me tonight at the moonlight hall. I will be waiting to see your beautiful face my love.
Yours truly,
Claude Faustus
Siera held the letter close to her chest a few tears slipping out of her eyes.
"Claude…"
-With Ciel-
"Bocchan I have brought your tea" Kiki said entering Ciel's room with a tray of tea. Ciel looked at Kiki.
"Change your attire. I won't accept you claiming to take over Sebastian's duties dressed like this" Ciel said and took a sip of the tea.
He spat out what he drank and threw the contents of the cup on Kiki. Kiki just stood there unmoving his bangs hiding his eyes.
"I hate this tea. Go and get me a cup of Earl Grey tea" Ciel said looking away.
"Yes Bocchan" Kiki said and bowed as he left with the tray.
As soon as he had shut the door to Ciel's room he broke the cup in his hand to vent out a little of his anger.
"I'm the fourth strongest of the highest class of demons…to be treated like this is a complete insult" Kiki thought to himself clenching his fist.
"Nee san…please…please break out of the spell soon…" Kiki thought to himself letting out a deep breath as he proceeded to change his clothes.
-In the kitchen-
"I heard Sebastian san was unconscious after he returned from the party" Meyrin said looking a bit low.
Bard nodded his face grim and Finny seemed low.
"I heard Siera san is looking after him…she doesn't even leave the room" Finny said his head hanging low.
"Matters regarding my sister and Sebastian do not concern you people. I do appreciate that you three are worried but please finish your work first" Kiki said entering the kitchen already wearing a fresh set of clothes similar to ones that Sebastian wore.
"Y-y-yes" Meyrin said stammering as she looked at Kiki.
The three of them quickly set to work and Kiki prepared the said Earl Grey tea, his thoughts revolving around Siera.
-With Siera and Sebastian-
Sebastian gripped the sheets of the bed tight and Siera kept the letter that Claude had sent on the table and immediately sat next to him. Her scent seemed to do the desired change and Sebastian's grip on the sheets lessened.
"Did he have a nightmare or something…?" Siera thought to herself frowning.
Unknown to herself she started to develop a soft corner for Sebastian. She watched him as he feel asleep with a soft smile on her lips. As if knowing that Siera was next to him Sebastian's peaceful smile returned and he unclenched the sheets.
"I wonder what was worrying him…" she thought to herself gently placing her hand on his.
Sebastian turned his hand and held hers gently. Her eyes widened but she didn't remove her hand from his.
"Why…why does this feel so right?" she thought to herself, as she saw her hands being held by his,
"Why does it feel so warm?"
Siera was becoming more confused by the minute and she slowly tried to take her hand out of his. Sebastian's hand tightened the hold on her hand a frown appearing on his face.
"Siera…don't leave" Sebastian mumbled in his stupor.
Siera's cheeks turned a soft pink as she heard his mumbling and she slipped her hands into Sebastian's hand. The frown on his face slowly morphed into a gentle smile. Siera watched his facial expressions change and she found herself more drawn to him as the seconds ticked by. She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear as she watched him.
A soft breeze blew in through the slightly open window and the letter at the table softly moved. Siera's sharp eyes caught the movement and she immediately pulled her hand out of Sebastian's hand before she walked towards the letter.
"I'm sorry Claude…I will meet you tonight at the moonlight hall somehow…just wait for me Claude" she thought to herself as she gently picked up the letter and held it close to her chest.
-Meanwhile-
"The letter has been delivered to the Third, Master Claude" the demon said bowing lightly.
Claude smirked,
"Perfect" he thought to himself as he regained his composure.
"If today goes according to what I planned no one will be able to separate Siera and me…not even Siera herself" Claude thought to himself his sinister smirk returning.
-With Kimi-
Kimi opened his eyes slowly and sat up rubbing his right eye.
"I sure took a lot of time sleeping" he thought to himself as he stretched.
His cheek was now completely normal and showed no signs of being slapped by the second strongest demon of the highest class of demons.
"Damn Mama is strong" Kimi thought to himself rubbing his cheek a little.
"I wonder if nee san is alright…I should go check on her" Kimi thought to himself as he walked towards the room where Siera and Sebastian were.
He came across Kayla sitting and looking out of a big window. He sighed softly and tapped her shoulder from the back.
"Pull a chair and sit Kimi" she said softly.
"How did you know it was me Mama?" he said smiling as he sat next to her.
"I'm your mother" Kayla said with her expression unchanged.
"Mama…I…" Kimi began only to have Kayla place her hand on his cheek gently,
"I'm sorry for earlier…I shouldn't have lost my temper" Kayla said looking at him tenderly before looking out of the window again her eyes becoming cold.
"Don't say that Mama…i-its fine" Kimi said smiling holding her wrist.
Kayla sighed and her hand dropped to her lap. Kimi looked a little forlorn as he looked outside like her.
"If only nee san could remember who she actually loves…if only she could remember all the memories she shared…everything would be alright" Kimi said softly.
"Remember all the memories she shared huh…" Kayla said softly looking down at her fingers.
A sudden idea hit Kimi,
"That's it!" he said and quickly turned to her.
"What is it Kimi?" Kayla asked raising an eyebrow,
"Mama I have an idea on how to break the spell put on nee san" Kimi said smiling broadly.
"What are you saying Kimi?" Kayla asked looking confused.
"Nee san is acting like this because she has a seal on her memories right? If we make nee san remember all her past memories then we can make her break the seal placed on her memories" Kimi said.
"I don't get it Kimi…how can we make her remember all her past memories?" Kayla said frowning.
"It's alright! We need Sebastian to wake up as soon as possible. That's the first step to healing nee san" Kimi said pulling Kayla to the room the two of them were in.
"Nee san" Kimi called out as soon as he opened the door.
Siera turned to look at him and Kayla who entered the room her eyes expressionless. Kayla looked at her a soft look in her eyes.
"What is it this time Kimi? Do the First or the Second have any more orders to give me?" Siera asked her voice cold.
Ice struck through Kimi's heart and Kayla tightened her fists.
"Nee san…" he said softly his eyes shaking. Siera sighed and hugged him,
"I'm sorry…I vented my frustration on you…" she said softly as she kissed the top of his head. Kimi held on to her tightly.
Kayla sighed,
"I'm leaving. I don't know what you thought of Kimi but I don't think I'm needed here. Siera, you know your order I don't need to remind you" Kayla said and walked out closing the door behind her. Siera watched her leave her heart almost breaking into two,
"Why are we even in this situation…what is happening to our family…why did it end up like this?" Siera said breaking down.
"It's because of that low class demon who dared to mess with us" Kimi thought to himself tightening his fists.
"Nee san if this low class demon is alright Mama and Papa will let you go right?" Kimi questioned making up his mind. Siera nodded,
"I'll help you nee san. If you believe it's Claude you love…I will help you" he said his bangs hiding his eyes. Siera was delighted,
"I truly do believe that I love Claude Kimi…I really do…" she said softly holding his palms.
"Okay nee san…I'll help you" Kimi said smiling at her.
"And I will make sure you break the seal on your memories…" he thought to himself as he helped her change his clothing.
Kimi seems to have found a way to help Siera break her spell on her own. What is his plan? Will Siera go off and meet Claude?
Wait for the next update to find out ^^
Till then adios amigos :D
