A/N- hello friends~ I'm back
You ran through the halls in desperation. You had to find Ciel as quick as possible.
"Young master!" You called out, "where are you?!"
Ciel's tiny figure came running at you.
"Y/N!"

Protectively, you wrapped your arms around him, greeting him with a warm embrace out of pity and guilt.
"Young master, you're not hurt, are you?"
He shook his head and leaned into your chest. You could feel his tears penetrating your clothing.
"I-I saw my father. Y/N, i-it was so horrible. Mother's gone too. Everyone."
You held him tighter, "I know. I saw it too..."
"Y/N? W-why did this happen to us?"
"Sometimes bad things happen to good people. It's just the way it is." You sighed.
"Why isn't god helping us? If he cares so much," he gritted his teeth and yelled, "why is he letting this happen?!"
"God won't help you now. You have more chance of getting help from Satan himself."

Both of you were silent until you spoke up, "young master, we need to get you out of here." You gripped his hand and whispered, "I'll protect you."

Once the two of you got outside, you sighed a sigh of relief but also regret.
"Young master," you spoke, bowing your head, "I'm sorry. Sorry I couldn't stop this. I have failed as a Phantomhive servant."
"No, don't apologise. I'm grateful actually. Thank you for not leaving me."
You smiled sympathetically, "I promise you that I'll never-" you froze. Not because you wanted to. You, for some reason couldn't move. A searing pain exploded from your back as if you'd been shot. Your vision began to blur as you fell limp on the ground.
"Y/N! Are you okay?!" Ciel rushed to your side and began shaking you, "please don't leave me.. you can't"
He didn't know this, but you were fully conscious. You just couldn't move.
'Why?!' You mentally yelled. You just wanted to hug him and tell him everything was okay. Panic set in when you say three hooded figures approach Ciel and forcefully pulling him off you. They blindfolded and gagged him, much to your horror.
"Y/N!" His muffled screaming filled your ears. The three hooded figures began to walk away with Ciel in their constricting grip. Why couldn't you move? Why couldn't you protect him like you promised?
'I'm so sorry, Ciel'
"Y/N!" He constantly screamed your name, his voice getting quiter as the distance between you and him grew until he was completely out of sight.

A wing figure approached you, a winged angel to be exact.
"My, my, Y/N being beaten by an angel so easily?" The angel chuckled, "you've sunk so low, haven't you?"
"A-Angela..." you choked out.
"Oh? So you remember me? It has been many years since we last spoke, I'm surprised."
The pain in your back suddenly intensified and spread across your whole body. You winced.
"Y-you b*tch... where are they taking him?"
"Now, now Y/N, do you honestly think I'll tell you?"

That did it for you. You had had enough of her already. Despite all the pain cursing through your body, you began to stand up, much to Angela's surprise. You were very unstable however.
"Oh wow, Y/N. As stubborn as ever. You really haven't changed." She smirked, "but don't think I'll tell you where the boy is."
"I don't need you to tell me." You stumbled a bit, "I promised my late master I would protect his son. I don't break promises."
"How touching, staying loyal to your dead master."
"Shut it!"

You sent her a glare before stumbling away. The further you got, the more you noticed your deteriorating health. Leaning on a tree for support, you sighed. What the heck did she do to you back there? And why was it making you so weak? Nevertheless, you needed to focus on getting Ciel back. The thought of what they were going to do to him sickened you.
"Just wait Ciel" you whispered to yourself, "I'll find you again."
