A/N: I will be ending this story very soon, like maybe three more chapters. I hate to say it, but I am losing inspiration for this story, but it was my first, so I will finish it to the end. I hope all of my readers are still satisfied. Thank you.

Victoria's POV

-----

Where am I? It's too dark... All I could see was darkness. I had been aimlessly floating for a very long time now. I was getting very lonely and worried. I missed my Lady, Ciel, and mostly, Sebastian. Suddenly, I saw a bright light and I felt something warm.

"Is that Sebastian?" I asked myself, but I soon got my answer. The light got bigger, and bigger, and I started to run towards the light. Hold on, Sebastian, I'm on my way!

Third Person POV

Sebastian was sitting on the bed, holding Victoria's hand tightly. He used his thumb to gently stroke her hands. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, that is, until he felt a small twitch. Her hand had just moved ever so slightly, but Sebastian felt it.

"Victoria?" Sebastian held his breath as he leaned down to her face. "Wake up, love. We need you," She shuffled and groaned.

"Seb...Sebastian?"

"Victoria," Sebastian smiled as her eyes opened and he was greeted by those ocean blue eyes that he had missed. "It's about time the medicine kicked in. Everyone was starting to get worried."

"Everyone was worried about me?"

"Of course."

"Wait... what medicine?" Victoria looked up at Sebastian with a curious look as she leaned against the beds head board.

"You don't remember? While I was away, another demon by the name of Drake harmed you. He even had the audacity to poison you."

"Drake? Damn it... I should have known that he would try something like this one day."

"So you know this Drake?"

"Of course. He's my older brother. I apologize for not telling you, but-" They were interrupted as both Ciel and Elizabeth burst into the room.

"Victoria!" Elizabeth squealed. She lunged at her demon butler, nearly squeezing the life out of her.

"Elizabeth, I don't think that it's safe to do that to her just yet. Let her rest," Ciel wrapped his arms around his loves waist and gently tugged her back.

"But Ciel!"

"It's fine, my Lady. You just surprised me. I'm glad to see that Sebastian took good care of you while I was recuperating."

"Did you think I would do something else other than take care of her?" Sebastian asked with a raised eye brow.

"Well..." Victoria smirked as Sebastian huffed and turned away. "I'm just kidding! I knew that she was in good hands," she crawled over and laid her head on his lap. He smiled once again and gently stroked her hair behind her ear.

"Yes, Sebastian has been taking very good care of us both, but I'm also glad you're back, Victoria," Ciel said as he kissed Elizabeth's cheek.

"Thank you, Earl Phantomhive."

"Now, what were you saying before we came in here?" Elizabeth asked.

"We were talking about what happened with Drake. Please continue," Sebastian inquired.

"Well, as I was saying, Drake is my older brother. I'm surprised that he didn't do this sooner. Ever since we were of age, we were always at each other's throats. We were constantly battling for the family honor, but in all honesty, I never cared about it, but he was persistent."

"If you didn't want to do it, then why is he still after you?" Elizabeth asked with a worried look.

"He still sees me as competition. He most likely won't stop until I'm fully out of the picture."

"I won't let that happen," Sebastian growled. Victoria smiled and leaned up to kiss his cheek.

"I know." The masters smiled fondly as they watched their two butlers interact.

"We will give you some more time to recover, Victoria." Ciel nodded in her direction and left the room with Elizabeth in tow. Sebastian turned to Victoria and smirked.

"Well, now that were alone," Sebastian wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Sebastian!" Victoria smacked his arm. He chuckled and laid down in the bed with her. He wrapped his strong arms around her slim waist and pulled her close. She smiled and nuzzled her nose into his neck, inhaling the scent that is Sebastian.

"Don't worry, Victoria. We will stop him."

"I know, I trust you Sebastian. Thank you." They said no more, but simply cuddled.
