(Your POV)

"Stop fighting it and just give in already!" The blonde haired boy screamed at me, inches from my face. His ocean blue eyes piercing mine. "Mmmmmm." I tried to speak but something was holding me back.

I felt a rope tied around my mouth, cutting off my communication. "Claude! Try the needle again!" The man with golden eyes bowed, a syringe visible in his left hand. "Yes, your highness."

He stood back up and walked towards me, clenching the needle. My hands and feet were throbbing with pain, I looked down at them and my hands were nailed to the arm of the chair I was placed in. I looked down at my feet, my right foot was on top of my left, both nailed together into the floor. I couldn't move to stop what was happening.

He brought the needle up to my arm and shoved it through my skin, usually my skin is impenetrable. But, the weaker I get, the weaker it gets.

He walked over to me and shoved the needle into my forearm. He stuck his thumb on the plunger and pressed down. Exposing my veins to the warm liquid, going anywhere it pleases.

"Don't worry my dear Eva, Sebastian will be nothing more than a stranger to you." I looked up at him with big eyes.

'No, please. Not sebastian.'

"Eva? Evvaaa? Eva! Wake up dammit." I opened my eyes and saw Ciel standing in front of me shaking my body. "M-master? Is that you?"

He nodded his head and sighed. "God dammit woman we thought you were dead." I looked over and saw Sebastian standing with a very worried look on his face.

'Sebastian. That name. That face. Those lips. Those eyes. I've seen them all before, before he found me on the rooftop. But where? And when?' He snapped me out of my daze. "Eva, do you remember anything that happened?"

"I-i, I've seen you before Sebastian." He gave Ciel a small grin. "Yes my lady, on the rooftop." I shook my head. "N-no. Its was b-before that. I don't understand." He sat down beside me and hugged me. I looked around and noticed we were in my room.

"Sebastian?" He pulled away and looked into my eyes. "Yes, my lady?" I stood up and held his hand. "Would you like to come outside on the balcony with me?" He stood up as well. "It would be an honor."

I opened the doors that let outside. This view, it's so familiar. "S-sebastian, have I ever b-been here before?" He gave me a sympathetic look.

"Why does everyone keep doing that? Feel sorry for me? I don't need your pity, I just want to know what the bloody hell is going on!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me to a chair.

"There's something you should know my dear. You have to trust me okay?" I nodded. "Okay, I do." He began "Try to remember as far back as you can, past the rooftop." I thought for a moment as visions danced around my head.

It all came to me. I saw Sebastian and Ciel, and the servants. I saw fire racing through the manor. I saw the blonde boy and the tall butler injecting things into my tied up body. I saw my father. I remember everything.

I looked up at Sebastian and whispered. "I remember." He looked down at me. "What love?"

"Sebastian! I remember everything! How could I have forgotten about you, my love. About Ciel my only cousin and Bard, Mey-Rin, Tanaka and Finny?" I stopped for a moment. "My father." Sebastian stood up and hugged me.

"I can not believe this. You are back. I have waited so long to hear those words." He pulled away from me and kissed my forehead. He walked inside and got Ciel.

"Young master! She remembers!" Ciel came running outside onto the balcony. He ran up to me and hugged me surprisingly. "Eva, we're so glad you're back!" I hugged him back as tightly as I could.

"We have to get my father back Ciel." He let go and sat down in a nearby seat. "Yes, I agree. I'm sure uncle Spencer is more than ready to leave that repulsive place."

"When can we go?" Ciel thought for a second. "Well, we don't want it to seem like a rescue mission to the Trancy manor, let's throw a ball and invite them. They would have no choice but to come unless they wish to slander the Trancy name."

"How do you know they will bring father?" Ciel raised a brow. "Well it is Alois after all, he's probably a servant by now, and servants are highly expected to show up with their masters at balls to assist the other servers."

"I just hope they haven't hurt him too bad, I have been separated from him for years now, I hope he remembers me." Ciel and Sebastian exchanged glances. "What? Why are you staring at each other?"

"Eva, we rescued you six months ago. Months, not years." I looked at him funny. "No, that can't be right."

"It is very true my lady, you stayed at the Trancy manor for a month. That's why the injections did not last very long, but it's not the same case for your father I'm afraid." Sebastian gave me a sympathetic look.

'Great, I just learn my father is still alive, and now he won't remember me.'

"Sebastian and myself will catch him first, there's no telling what they've done to him. He could become violent towards you. They may have replaced his happy memories of you, with damaged ones, we don't want you to go through that. So, we'll use you as bait to draw in Alois and then Sebastian and myself will slip off while his is preoccupied."

'This could work, it really could. Don't worry father, everything will be back to normal. I'll save you.'
