(Eva's POV)


When I awoke, I found myself in complete darkness, alone. My wrists and ankles were bound by chains.

I felt a singe of pain come from the back of my neck. I brought my hand up to it and felt a bandage.

What happened to me? Why am I in here, and where am I?

"H-hello? Is anybody there?" I quietly called out.

Quiet footsteps approached me. Have I been captured again?

Red eyes poured out from the darkness. "W-who are you?"

The footsteps got closer, and soon enough a man was standing over me.

"S-Sebastian, is t-that you?" I whispered.

A white gloved hand reached out for my own. I slowly accepted it.

"It is me, my love. Are you feeling better?" I felt his breath against my face. It smelled of vanilla and mint, concluding that it was Sebastian.

"I believe so, what happened?" I whispered.

He caressed my face with his hand. "You drank Ash's blood and went on a rampage."

I lowered my head. "D-did I kill anyone?"

Sebastian kneeled down beside me. "Yes love, you did."

A tear threatened to escape my eye. "H-how long have I been down here?"

"A few weeks love. I have checked on you every day and you have been unconscious until now."

A few tears dripped from my eyes. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to kill those people. I could not control myself."

He stroked my hair and whispered. "I know love. It will be alright, I promise."

I buried my face in his chest and sobbed like a small child. He rubbed circles around the small of my back and cooed in my ear.

"C-can I go h-home now Sebastian?" I asked, fearing the answer.

He looked at my face and nodded. "I believe so. The young master ordered me to retrieve you. Do you think you're alright?"

I slowly nodded. "Yes, I no longer feel the need to drink blood."

He nodded and pulled a key from his pocket. He unlatched the two cuffs on my wrists and then the two on my feet.

He lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

He leaned down and picked me up bridal style.

"Sebastian?" I whispered.

"Yes, my love?"

"Do, you still love me?" I answered.

He looked down into my sad eyes and caressed my face. "Of course I do love. There is nothing in this world that you could do to make stop loving you. You are my life and my eternity."

I nuzzled my face into the crook of his neck, pleased with his response.

"Do you still love me, my dear?"

I looked up into his gorgeous sparkling eyes. "Why would I not?"

"Because I did not save you fast enough and you were injured."

I remembered the bandage on my neck. "What happened?"

"Alucard shot your neck with a tranquilizer bullet, to stop you."

I lowered my head in shame. "W-was I really that b-bad?"

He slowly nodded his head. "Do you not remember any of it?"

I though hard for a moment, but nothing came up. "N-no. I do not remember anything."

We arrived at the top of the stairs and he opened the door, revealing the hallway in the lower half of the Phantomhive manor.

"I have been here this entire time?"

He nodded his head. "Yes love. Now, when we reach the young masters office you shall see that there's something that occurred while you were unconscious, but do not be afraid."

I raised a brow and slowly nodded. We reached the staircase leading to the mid level. He slowly climbed up it.

When we reached the final staircase leading up to the young masters office, a familiar scent hit my nose.

"Sebastian, is there another demon?"

He smirked and remained silent. We finally reached his study and Sebastian quietly knocked on the door.

"Come in." Ciel said in his usual monotoned voice.

Sebastian slowly opened the door and I stepped in.

Inside sat a red eyed Ciel. He no longer wore his eye patch covering his contract symbol with Sebastian.

"Please, have a seat and I shall explain."

I did as I was told and sat down, he cleared his throat and began.

"One day while you were unconscious, Drocell Keinz kidnapped me while Sebastian was tending to your wound downstairs. I could not exactly fight back, so he took me back to his manor and turned me into a doll. A little while after I was gone, Sebastian noticed I was no where to be found so he came to look for me. When he arrived Drocell and Sebastian fought. During said fight, Drocell cut off Sebastian's arm, the one that shows his contract symbol. Since you killed Ash, Sebastian's contract had been fulfilled. So while he was fighting, one of the reapers I have never met before, came and took my soul. Sebastian had no choice but to turn me into one of you."

I slowly nodded and took all of the information in. "Then why is Sebastian still serving you?"

Sebastian glanced between us. "I will remain his butler for eternity love."

I slumped back in my chair.I did not realize this was possible.

I turned to Sebastian. "How are we supposed to wed now?"

Sebastian turned to Ciel. "I will still allow it. I am not completely heartless. I will give you two vacation days, to go on your honeymoon and do as you please."

I sighed a breath of relief. "Thank you my lord. That is very kind of you."

He sat back in his chair and crossed his legs. "It is the least I can do, considering you will be caring for me for eternity."

I shivered at the word eternity. I guess this is my life now. At least I get to spend it with the ones I love and care for the most. We can be together for as long as we'd like now. I guess it's better this way anyways.
