Phantommhive Estate: New Arrivals

My Fair Lady, Caught In the Middle.

Sebastian walked back to the dining room, about to tell Ella. When he walked back, he saw Ella at the window, admiring the birds. One flew out and touched her hand. Sebastian soon had a flashback...

"Oh! Sebastian, you truly are amazing! Even the birds obey you!" She said.

"Well that's because you are around, my love."

"S-Sebastian do you mean to call me beautiful?"

"Of course I do."

"O-Oh! This is too much."

He then got down on one knee.

"Josie Eleanor Greene, will you marry me?"

"Yes!"

****

"Honey, I have something I must confess."

"Whatever is it, Sebastian?"

"I-I'm, I'm not who you think I am."

"Who are you?"

"The more accurate question is what am I. A demon."

"W-What?"

"Josie I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. Please, I won't hurt you."

"Get away from me! The wedding is off!"

And just like that, Sebastian lost.......... everything.

*************************************

He dropped the tea set. Ella quickly turned around.

"Sebastian! Are you ok?" Ella asked.

"Yes I am, my love." He replied.

Sebastian knew he had to tell Ella. And maybe, just maybe, she'd except who he really is.

"E-Ella?" He began.

"Yes?" She replied.

"I must tell you something."

Her heart sank.

"Oh. You don't...love me."

"No! Not at all. I mean- that's not what I meant."

"Well then, what is it. Don't worry, I won't interrupt."

"Will you promise to still love me?"

"And to hold and to cherish, yes."

"Ella I'm not who you think I am."

"I beg to-"

"Ella I'm a demon."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"I thought..."

"You thought what?"

"N-Nothing. It's not important. I'm not mad, I just...need to be alone."

Ella ran into the garden, crying.

"I thought he was an angel! Not something from hell!" She screamed into the sky.

Ciel was soon by her side.

"Whatever is the matter, Ella?" He asked.

"Did you know?" Ella said, eyes filling with tears.

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me! Why didn't anyone tell me! Why did you let me fall in love with him!"

"Just because he's a demon, you don't want to love him?"

"No! I do love him, with all my heart. It's just, I always knew he was supernatural, but I never thought he was something of evil nature. I thought he was an angel, sent to help me cope with my parents' death."

"My dear Ella, those only exist in fairytales."

"I know."
