Sky

Chapter 28

Sebastian was on his knees and had a look of shock on his face.
I can't choose one! But I have no choice!
"Well?" Said the voice, now getting impatient with him.   
Sebastian didn't answer.
Ciel looked at Sebastian.
"Sebastian I order you..." He began. Sky quickly got the idea on what Ciel was going to do and quickly followed.
"Sebastian I order you..."
"Save Sky!"
"Save Ciel!"
Both of their eyes flashed at the same time giving the order, however Sebastian remained where he was, he didn't move, he stayed where he was. Ciel was confused and so was Sky.
"But why didn't that work?" Asked Sky.
Ciel then realised something and answered her question.
"He can't fulfil the orders because they cancelled each other out..."
"Huh?"
"He can't fulfil the order because it would result in breaking the contract, also he can't disobey orders from us and since we ordered something that would mean disobeying one of us he can't act on any of the orders, in effect both orders were given however they were useless" Ciel explained.
Sky thought for a moment then came up with a idea.
"Ciel, do you really want my to live?" She asked.
"Yes, I do"
"Ok, I will order Sebastian to save me then" she said.
Ciel nodded and closed his eyes ready to die. Sky turned to Sebastian who was still knelt on the ground.
"Sebastian I order you... Save Ciel at all costs no matter what he says or orders, you are to get him out now!"
Ciel looked at her shocked.
"Sky no!"
Her eye flashed giving the order, it was now too late for Ciel to stop Sky's order. Sebastian stood and bowed.
"Yes my lady"
He rushed over to Ciel and grabbed the bars of his cage.
"No! Sebastian stop! Save Sky! No stop Sebastian please save her!"
"I'm sorry master, but the order has been given" replied Sebastian giving a sad smile as he wrenched to bars apart.
"NO!! SEBASTIAN!" Ciel screamed, he hit and kicked at Sebastian while he scooped him up. Sky turned away and began to cry at hearing Ciel scream, she cried at the realisation that she would die, she wanted so badly to order Sebastian to save her and not Ciel but she with held the order and remained silent, she turned and saw Ciel being carried away. Ciel looked at Sky, sadness in his eyes. Sky held her hand out to him.
"Ciel don't worry about me, live your life don't throw it away like I have for you, please don't let me die in vai..." She was cut off as a flaming arrow went straight through her side, blood poured from the wound. Sky's eyes went wide with shock, she was shot with more flaming arrows that buried themselves into her skin and began to burn her setting her aflame. Sky began to cry with pain as blood and crystal tears streamed down her face.
Ciel stopped screaming and watched as her eyes closed as she fell to the ground.
"Good bye Ciel Phantomhive, it was nice while it lasted" Sky breathed. A final breath left her body, she then fell silent forever.
Ciel watched as the tent began to burn the fire spread quickly.
Sebastian kept running and made it out the tent and kept running into the night, he quickly got to the carriage and placed Ciel inside, he closed the carriage door and quickly got on the drivers seat and made the houses gallop away as fast as they could go to escape the fire.
"I'm so sorry Sky and to you young master, I couldn't save you both"
