Again with this shit?! What, does he have some sort of kitten hoard he needs to visit every day for six. Fucking. Hours?! I swear, if he didn't make my meals and tea I would've hung him from the highest point in hell. And his little kittens too.

I rubbed my temples. Not having any paper work in hell had its advantages but it was over all, a bore. Maybe Sebastian criiinnnggeeee can get me some job in demon politics or something.

Sighing heavily, I stood from my chair, and walked the manor one last time. Just as I thought. Gone still. A part of me felt...sad. It was just Sebastian and I in this manor. It was just the two of us from now on.

No clumsily lovable servants, no irritating yet friendly hell hound, no annoyingly sweet Lizzie. Just a sadistic, sarcastic demon angry for not getting his meal after years of servitude and an annoying orphan brat who got turned into a demon.

Just as I thought. There are no happy endings in life. Only sorrow and loss. A sad and lonely sigh passed my lips as I reclined on the couch in my library. Just Sebastian and I are left. Forever.

Dogs. I don't think I hate anything more than dogs. Despite the fact that I very much act like one. Especially towards Ciel. Loyal, kind, protective, cuddly...

Shaking my head, I made my way to the gates of hell. I whistled softly, loud footsteps approaching me. This must be what Jack heard after he entered the castle in the clouds.

The large being came to a stop in front of me, a deep growl resonating from its throat. "Cerberus. Sit," I commanded. Thump. I bounced slightly at the dog sat, panting happily.

Three heads looked down at me with hopeful eyes. I sighed in defeat. "Good boy," I praised, patting the middle ones head gently. The other two quickly got jealous of him, growling lowly and baring their fangs.

I smiled slightly, petting the other two equally. I guess dogs aren't all that bad. "You just want to be loved, huh?" I murmured softly, more to myself than anything.

"May I take a hair?" I asked kindly. The dogs looked at each other before nodding. I smiled and plucked a hair from their back, placing it in my coat pocket. I pet them all one last time before bidding them farewell.

I returned to the manor, quickly preparing some tea and warm oatmeal cookies for Ciel so he wouldn't get mad.

But after walking upstairs to his study, I realized he wasnt there. A frown graced my lips and I walked around until I finally found him in the manor library.

"Ah, my Lord," I bowed, tray in hand
"I have prepared oat meal cookies and some Earl Grey tea." I gently handed it to him. He waved me off. "Set it down," he said softly, not looking at me.

"My Lord, is everything alright?" I asked, genuinely concerned. "I am fine. Off with you," he murmured. I frowned, setting the food down and nodding. "Yes, my Lord." I sighed, leaving the room. I hope he's alright.
