Ciel walked in the enormous rose garden in the Trancy's backyard. He walked through silently while he was in deep thought. 'I don't understand it.' Ciel thought. 'Why does that man call me young master? Is Alois really dead? Did I really kill him? Can I really trust my sister? Why would Sebastian...?'
Flashes of all the times he spent recently with Sebastian. Him making his closed eyed smiles, always looking loyal. And then Ciel remembered Mystery. Her being silent and protective of him... but then remembered her eyes glowing. If Mystery was a demon, then wouldn't she be hungry for souls too? What if her kindness and innocence was a cover up and she wanted Ciel to herself...? What if she was after Ciel's soul like any other demon...? Ciel then remembered Sebastian turning Mystery into a demon and could only think that it was Sebastian's fault for turning her into a cold being.
Ciel gripped his cane and his lips were in a tight line. Ciel gritted his teeth and began destroying the roses around him with his cane. Each of the flowers' petals were smacked off as they were destroyed. Ciel kept hitting the flowers angrily. "Young master!" Hannah said running to him to stop but Ciel accidently hit her on the face with his cane. She yelped and hit the ground and Ciel had stopped and looked surprised. "It's all right, my Lord. Please thrash me" Hannah begged as she crawled on all fours and looked up at him.
"As many times as you like, if that will relieve your feelings." "What are you saying?!" Ciel asked as he took a step back. He then saw her bandaged eye. "Your eye... Honestly, this manor is filled with freaks!" Ciel said looking to his side, but then held his hand out to Hannah. Hannah looked surprised as the wind blew, making flower petals dance around the area. "Are you planning on just sitting there?" Ciel asked. Hannah lightly smiled and put her hand in Ciel's as she stood up. The Triplets passed by holding guns and other weapons. They had seen Hannah and Ciel in the rose garden then took off after Sebastian, to finish him.

It was dusk, when Sebastian and Grell reached an abandoned and ruined village. It was very far from the Trancy estate. Sebastian felt he would get answers here, but didn't know why since basically everything was gone or broken. "Ugh, what is this place?" Grell asked peaking around Sebastian. "But it's not bad! Sebas-chan nude among the ruins... not bad!" Grell said excitedly as he blushed. Before Grell could say anything else, Sebastian motioned him to be quiet.
"Care for a taste, you two?" a woman asked as she held her leg out as she sat on a few steps. "Just fooling. It's been far too long, I can't manage it." the middle aged woman said as she then stood up and dusted off her dress. This woman was once a prostitute. "Welcome to the cursed village of Arachnophile." she said. "I thought this place had been burned completely away. How is it that you're alive?" Sebastian asked. "Yes. I'm the only one who was saved..." the woman sighed but then looked to the side. "By a demon." Sebastian's eyes narrowed as the woman told her flashback.
The village was at its original form, still built and people living in it. Two boys laughed as Luka laid on the ground. "He's filthy! Kick him here!" One of the boys said and the other boy kicked and squished Luka on his ribs. Luka winced as he tried protecting himself and the boys laughed. "Don't bully the weak!" the same woman that lived yelled at them. The boys ran off. "Run! It's the ugly slut who tricks people with makeup!" The woman had ran next to Luka and shouted after the bullies. "For goodness sake..." she lastly said then looked down at Luka who then glared up at her.
"I'm not weak" Luka said as he slowly stood up and the woman kneeled down in front of him to help him regain his posture."Oh, I'm sorry, dear. That's right, you're tough! You look good out there, kid" she said as she rubbed his head. Luka then smiled at her. "Yeah! After all, I promised my brother! I won't lose to them!" Luka then held his arms out and danced around, "Everyone, everything, all gone! Everyone, everything, all gone!" Luka then stood in front of the lady and shuffled his feet. "But I'll give you a free ticket, lady! Everyone minus two!" Luka said and the woman looked surprised. "What?" "I made a contract! With a demon." Luka said leaving the woman staring at him in wonder.
"That boy told me he'd signed a contract with a demon to make his beloved big brother's wish come true. In exchange for his own soul. At first I thought it was just some children's story. But..."
The village was on fire and people were running and screaming! Many were dead, and the houses and stores were burnt down. The woman watched everything happen before her eyes and then looked up upon a hill and saw the boy, Luka, watching the village burn with satisfaction. The woman stared at him in fright.
"That day, everything he said came true..."
Everything, the village, the fire, the people and their screams disappeared and everything turned black.
"Back then, I never found out who the other person that was also spared. But then, I remembered a certain young girl..."
The woman watched as Luka, Jim, and this girl wearing a red cloak spend time together. It was obvious that the two boys knew the girl for a while. The woman first spoke to Luka yesterday and now he was with his brother and this girl. The woman had noticed the girl was the one taking care of them.
"I remember her appearance quite well. She was young and I admit, I envied her beauty. The girl was kind, but I could see she was lost in a way. I could also see she was close to those boys as well as they were close to her... I then thought that she was the second person that would be spared..."
The woman then watched as the girl talked with Luka and Jim and gave them a hug. The girl walked away from the village and was further and further away as the two boys watched her leave.
"The girl had left the village for some reason.... but before the village was destroyed, she never came back..."
Sebastian and Grell stared at her as she finished her story. "I never knew the girl's name, but I knew she had a kind, and warm heart. However, I was indeed the only one who survived and I've managed on my own somehow... But that's all over now, too-" a bang was heard and the bullet shot into the woman's head. She fell lifeless and Sebastian and Grell looked behind them and saw it was none other than the triplets, one aiming a gun from a recent shot.
"Let's get started" Sebastian said as he took off running and Grell watched him. Sebastian ran quickly while dodging each shot and took out his forks and knives. "Oh, no, I let the second handsome pose go to waste! I swear I'll get the next one!" Grell said running after Sebastian with his camera out.
The triplets used their different weapons to fight Sebastian, but he dodged all their attacks, making them crash into each other on the ground. "Ah, things are heating nicely!" Grell said as he snapped pictures of Sebastian. "Those spry limbs!" Sebastian swiftly kicked one of the triplets to the side. "Look at that cruel gaze!" Sebastian's crimson eyes showed, "Those ankles peeking out from under the cuffs of his trousers!" Grell snapped the picture of Sebastian's ankle and swayed side to side. "He's simply tossing out the poses right to left!"
Sebastian then took out a spool of white thread and in a flash, had the triplets wrapped in a huge cocoon hanging from a tree. "Drat, it's over already?" Grell asked disappointed. "Now, Grell. The death scythe." Sebastian said looking over at him. "Hmm? Why don't you just finish them off?" Grell waved his hand. "Please?" Sebastian struggled to say. "What?" Grell said as he turned and put a hand on his cheek. "Oh, Sebas-chan, you always do this..." He heard Sebastian sigh. "What a hot day it is." Grell looked at him, interested. Sebastian closed his eyes as he dramatically ran his gloved fingers through his hair and beads of sweat glistened around him and Sebastian let out a sigh of pleasure.
Grell blushed and had a nosebleed as he squealed in delight. Grell took out his death scythe as he laughed. He cut through the triplets and their cinematic records poured out. It showed the village burning meaning they were the ones that caused it. Sebastian and Grell watched the records play. "Well, what do you know? So that's what happened. There's just no accounting for demons." Grell commented. "It's essentially what I'd expected," Sebastian said and Grell looked at him. "It is?" "However..."
Sebastian's eyes stuck on one part of the record. It showed the rose garden and Ciel was helping Hannah up as the rose petals flew with the wind. "That, I did not expect" Sebastian said coldly. Grell turned and got frightened when he saw Sebastian's shadow glowing and growing huge. "S-Sebas-chan, you're demon-ing! You're demon-ing!" Grell said shaking. "That will do," Sebastian said while ready to pull the end of the thread. "I'll use the spiders' threads you fancy so much." Sebastian pulled the string and the triplets' bodies were cut and fell from the cocoon in many parts and Grell shivered at the sight.
"I can't stand for people putting their grubby fingers all over my dinner, also having my mate caged like an animal..." Sebastian said then took off running back to the Trancy estate. "Sebas-chan, wait! You still have two handsome poses left!" Grell ran after him but stopped when he saw Sebastian get more further away. "He's fast." Grell sunk to the floor as he was left in the wind....
