        The disturbing silence took over that room, but it didn't take long, for his mother soon arrived with Mr. Spears. The farewell was brief, and as soon as it was over, the girl went to her quarters. She felt the world on her back, she felt exhausted and too sad and bitter, she didn't know what else to do.

          And these days she went on, and on her chest she carried a weight that left her bedridden and very sick, she felt that at any moment she was going to die and she cried out for death to take her soon, because she could no longer bear such a burden.

           But it was enough for Ciel to return and soon she was better. Her fear of death, which plagued the rest of the family, subsided. When she was fully recovered, she was able to see the boy, and her happy face when faced with the boy's lackluster features, she died. And Grellie saw, that child was not her cousin, it was the shell of what he was, because Ciel, the chatty boy died.

           In front of his half brother, after his mother hugged him, Grellie said nothing, just hugged him tightly, smelling the faint scent of honey and milk. With her eyes closed, the young woman felt that the boy in front of her, literally, was not Ciel, but Sirius. The girl saw her soul fragmented and the golden sweetness, little by little, dissipating from that body giving place to hatred and that made her tremble with fear of what would come next.

           When she pulled away from the embrace, looking at the floor, she felt a strong and demonic aura, when she lifted her head, she saw the demon in human form beside her cousin, and then, in the young redhead's head, everything made sense. The boy made a pact with the devil, and offered his soul as a bargaining chip. Without saying anything, Grellie just left in fear of those two.

            The girl spent weeks locked in the room, she was afraid, she did not recognize her cousin, because her cousin she loved, went the same way as her father, and that left her totally depressed and bedridden again. Her mother knew nothing about the man who was with Sirius, and Grellie refused to let off steam with her mother, and the fear of death coming over her again plagued the rest of the family.

             And then, one day, she received a visit from her future fiancé, who at the request of Madame Red and with the news of her state of health, was concerned. Assessing it and noting it as stress, William began to insist that the girl tell him about what was going on, and fearing that he would call her crazy, Grellie said nothing, she preferred to keep all that pain inside her. But then, the man had an idea, gave her a diary and promised not to dwell on it any more.

         Since then, the young woman began to vent in the diary, her fears and everything that weighed on her heart. Over time, she had improved, and her health was back to normal, and then she mustered up the courage to face the demon who was the "shadow of her cousin", as her mother had reported. Grellie was willing to find out everything that involved her, and take her half brother out of the demon's clutches.

       And it was on a visit to a boy's pension, that Grellie, together with his mother, would come face to face again with his half brother. In that red dress with white accents, she sat on the armchair, while her mother and Lau made a mess inside that office that she saw the boy for the second time. He was recovered, but the aura was too dense, and made his stomach churn.

            Her mother without hesitation, hugged him and threw a party for her boy, after that, Madame Red remembers the reunion.

—I didn't even introduce you, did I?—She was so debilitated. Meet my beloved daughter! Grellie Durless Barnett, this is Mr. Sebastian Michaelis, he is the personal butler of your cousin, Ciel.

—Nice to meet you, Miss Burnett.— Sebastian said, kissing the back of the hand that was covered by the white lace glove, that gesture made her dizzy, she felt the aura of that being becoming more dense and the devil eyes devouring her.

           The truth was that Sebastian, when he first saw her, already knew that the girl was aware of what was going on, that girl's eyes didn't lie, she wasn't human, but she didn't seem to be completely aware of it. Seeing that girl, despite the nature of the two being different, awoke something in Sebastian, something he didn't have in Sirius, he had a desire, a desire not necessarily sexual, but out of curiosity, he saw her as free food, a bonus that his amo offered without permission. The man began to desire her and wanted to have her for himself, but he knew that she did not have that desire, but being aware that he was a demon, he wanted to use his wiles so that she would yield to his charms and fall into the sin that he wanted to get it dirty.

          Grellie felt the sin in front of her, and her greatest desire at that moment was to kick that man in the face, but she did nothing. She just made up an excuse to leave the environment, said and done, she left feeling the look of that man burning on her back. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she cried. She did not want to make the same mistake as her mother, she would fight everything and everyone to avoid falling into that man's antics.

            When she recovered and returned to the place, there was that man looking at you, that look made her whole body shiver, making her tremble.

—I would like to be closer to you, I fear what happened in that incident may be repeated again and I want to be with you,.—she said to Madame.

—There is nothing to worry about, my aunt, because Sebastian will be protecting me.—the boy said.

—I insist!— Angelina continued and Sirius rolled his eyes.

—That's right, I will receive you at my home.—he replied, receiving his aunt's warm embrace. Seeing that scene scared the girl, because the girl feared what that man would do to her while she was in that environment.
