Making A Deadly Break For The Phantomhive Manor

Ciel ran with Lizzy across the fields of the Middleford Manor, hoping he wasn't pulling too tight on her arm, since he ran much faster than her now and she was already becoming tired, given that she doesn't run often.

When they made it out of the fields and away from her manor Ciel collapsed down on the ground, wheezing. "Ciel? Are you okay?"

"I... probably shouldn't have... ran like that..."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I may be a demon..." He choked from inhaling too much air. "but, somehow... I still have Asthma..."

He coughed, again and Lizzy sat down next to him, "Could it be because you just turned into a demon a year ago?"

"I don't know... but I don't feel to good..." The world swayed around Ciel and he feared he might pass out. "I need Sebastian!"

"Well, he's not here."

"Yeah... and I don't have the mark, anymore..."

"Maybe if you just calm down."

Ciel looked around crazily then started screaming, "Sebastian! Sebastian!" He clutched his lungs,"Sebastian! If you don't get your..." He choked from the lack of air in his lungs, again, "ass over here, I'll- I'll kill you!"

Tears started coming from Ciel's eyes as he moaned out Sebastian's name one more time, still clutching his lungs. He was completely alone in the middle of nowhere and he didn't know what to do.

Lizzy looked at Ciel, "What if I try to get to your manor before you?"

"It's too far... I'll be dead before you get there."

"What if I call a carriage?"

"I don't know..." He looked off into the night, "SEBASTIAN!"

Ciel continued to cry, then fell on his side in a fetal position, not caring if he looked pathetic in front of Lizzy. His lungs were burning and he kept thinking he should've stopped sooner, instead of letting his lungs burn out from the inside out.

Lizzy rubbed his back a little, then, got up. "I don't care I'm going to your mansion and getting Sebastian. I'll be back I promise."

She ran off, trying not to slow down or stop, just kept going. She had to help Ciel, no matter how tired and worn out she became.

After a long while of running and pacing herself, trying her best not to stop for any breaks she finally made it into town and flagged down a carriage, telling them to take her to the Phantomhive residence pronto, no questions asked. She had never done that herself, mainly because Paula had always called a carriage for her, but she'd seen Paula do it numerous times.

The ride was long and the driver refused to speed up no matter how many times she yelled at him. He only said, "I don't want my horses to get worn out before we ride back into town, little lady!"

But, they made it and she ran into the Phantomhive manor as fast as she could, running out of breath before she even got to Sebastian. She was practically breathing out her response, "Sebastian! Ciel is... field... Asthma... He Needs Help!"

Sebastian got up, following her out the door and leaving Ciel's servants questionable as to what just happened.

"The carriage is gone!"

Sebastian stared off into space, then went over to Elizabeth, and picked her up, "Excuse me, but I've got an idea that doesn't involve a carriage..."

He ran off through town until he finally found Ciel lying in a field looking like a thousand splinters were digging into his lungs. Sebastian went over. He had no idea what to call Ciel now that he no longer served him. He just sat by him with Lady Elizabeth.

Ciel told Sebastian to come closer and he obeyed, but that only gave him a slap in the face by Ciel, who spoke to him in a hoarse voice, "Sebastian I hate you."

"Do you, now?"

"What do I do?"

"Heal yourself."

"If I knew how to do that, I wouldn't have needed your help, now would I."

"Draw energy from Lizzy?"

"What?"

Lizzy, who was very, very confused, looked at Sebastian for answers. Sebastian looked at Ciel's hand that now possessed a mark and told them to touch palms. Lizzy looked at Sebastian, "This won't hurt will it?"

"No."

Ciel sat up still clutching his lungs with his one arm, touching hands with Lizzy with the other. Both their symbols glowed on the backs of their hands and it seemed like it was Lizzy who was healing him, but he was only making Lizzy more weak. "Ciel let go or I'm not making you any cake tonight!"

Ciel let go and Lizzy blinked a few times, trying to stay conscious, but it was really hard for her. Ciel looked at Sebastian, "Can we go home now? Lizzy doesn't look too good..."

Sebastian nodded and picked Lizzy up who fell unconscious in his arms, as the three of them went to Phantomhive mansion.
