Sebastian opened the door with his key. A butler welcomed him and took his coat. Sebastian smiled at the servant like he never left. He looked at the butler, with a concerned face, who nodded. The house, at least the entrance hall looked the same as ever. In front of the door was a big stair. The steps were covered with a bloodred carpet. The railing was a very dark purple, almost black. At the top were two separated stairs, one on the left and one on the right. Those were also the dark purple with the red carpet. Above the little platform was a portrait of the current head of the household, Sebastian himself. Being gone for years is not uncommon, demons live forever so a year is over in a heartbeat. Sebastian looked very serious on the portrait, you could even say he looked sad. There was no sparkle inside his eyes. They were dull, not like now. Even though the demon doesn't know where his love is, his eyes showed emotion. Sebastian's heart was full of Ciel, he missed him so much. He went up the right stair.  The demon went to his room. It was the room at the end of the hallway. Only a huge door parted Sebastian from Ciel. He hoped at least. There was still a possibility Ciel wasn't behind the door. But something told him his love was inside his bedroom. The demon took a deep breath. 

He grabbed the doorknob and opened the door. He looked inside the big room. It was a big bedroom. The lights were off, he couldn't see a lot. The only color he saw was brown. Sebastian's red eyes filled with tears as they met with the blue one. Sebastian walked into the room slowly. He couldn't believe it, he found Ciel! The boy stayed seated, didn't move, didn't look happy. The demon put his arms around the little body. Tears fell on the floor. Ciel's expression didn't change at all, like a porcelain doll face. Sebastian let the little boy's body go and cupped his face with his hands. The demon smiled through his tears, but it didn't last long. Even now, Ciel didn't move a muscle, not even the smallest ones. ¨Ciel, it's me, Sebastian.¨ No movement. ¨What's wrong, let's get out of here.¨ No movement. ¨Why won't you answer, Ciel? Ciel!¨ No movement. Tears rolled down the face of the demon, but this time not of happiness, but of sadness. Sabastian didn't understand. The little heart was beating inside the boy's chest and lungs filled with air. He should be okay, physically at least. Ciel's eyes didn't sparkle, they were dead. His soul was gone. The Ciel before the demon was just the body. Sebastian's mind went blank. He looked at the floor. The little spots on the carpet became bigger. Sebastian felt even more tears coming out of his eyes. He fell on his knees and put his hands on Ciel's knees, his head faced down. The demon cried in silence. Seconds, minutes, hours passed. 
Sebastian heard footsteps going his way. The sound took him out of his ¨trance¨, but he stayed in the same position. The footsteps became louder and louder. It wasn't one pair of footsteps, but 3.  The sound Sebastian heard was the same as heels, high heels. 3 women were walking towards him. The heels entered the room. Sebastian didn't change his position, the women were supposed to think he didn't notice them. Laughter and footsteps filled the room. They walked toward him, 2 stopped beside him, 1 on each side, the third one walked to Ciel and stopped right behind him. The laughter kept going. The demon felt humiliated. He was laughed at, but had to endure it. ¨We know you're not crying, you know.¨ ¨So just look up, dear cousin.¨ ¨And admit your defeat!¨ The woman burst into laughter, the other 2 sighed. ¨Sis, don't take it too far.¨ ¨Relax cousin. We aren't here for that.¨ ¨Just stand up already!¨ The man stood up and looked at the woman around him. His eyes, even though there were bloodshot, glowed. The women kept their cool, even kept a sly smile. ¨Come on, cousin. You think we'd be scared of you?¨ ¨Don't even think of trying something funny.¨ ¨You're alone, we're with 3.¨ That was true. There was no way Sebastian could take on the 3 of them, let alone in this state. But the man would not let them make fun of him and take his love without a fight. He thought of a new strategy. ¨I could ask them for a glass of water? It could work,¨ he thought. ¨Ladies, may I presume I'll call you by the names you choose for the human world?¨ ¨Sure!¨ Dee answered happy, ¨we love those names!¨ The other two had a slight blush, they thought their new names were way cooler than the old ones. But admitting it, embarrassing.¨Lilith, could I get a glass of water?¨ he tried. All of the women had a surprised look on their faces, but Dee already went to the kitchen to get the drink. ¨Let's go to the living room, cousin,¨ Lora suggested,¨relax, the boy will stay here, with the door locked.¨ Sebastian still looked at her with distrust. Lilith let out a sigh, ¨and we'll give you the key, if that makes you more comfortable.¨ Lora looked irritated at her little sister. ¨Calm down, Lora. You'll get wrinkles if you frown. He can't do anything, so why not give him the key?¨ The oldest growled but gave Sebastian the key to the room, ¨shall we go?¨ The other two nodded and followed. Sebastian was the last to leave the room. He looked at Ciel one more time before he locked the door carefully. ¨Cousin, what's taking you go long?¨ He checked one more time if the door was locked carefully. ¨I'm sorry. Hold on a little longer, Ciel.¨
