『Chapter 31』

"I didn't know you had a younger sibling." Sebastian started, walking up beside you as you sat on the bed. You curled your hands, a sigh escaped your lips. "Yeah well... There's a lot of things you don't know about me." You put your arms around yourself, brushing yourself. You didn't felt like telling him all that. Yet you wanted to. You looked up at Sebastian as he looked at you systematically.

"It was my fault. I left him and I didn't run back to him."

"Don't blame yourself, Y/n," Sebastian said, sitting next to you. He took your hands, pulling them to his lap. "You were a child, it's not your fault." He cooed. You looked away, "Yeah, tell that to my mother," you scoffed. You remembered that day too well. You shook your head, pushing yourself off the bed. You slowly walked towards the window, looking up to the starry night.

"Anyway, ...sorry I ditched you both." You said, crossing your arms. You were suddenly wrapped in a pair of strong arms as you felt Sebastian's chest against your back. "Don't worry about it, kitten. You did what you had to do." He spoke, brushing his thumb to your forearm. You smiled at his warmth, snuggling onto his neck.

You closed your eyes, leaning against his touch, "You're warm." You mumbled. He chuckled shortly, picking you up in his arms. "Do you want me to stay with you through the night?" He offered, walking you to the bed. You smiled sheepishly, "That would be nice," you replied. He put you gently down the bed before he took off his coat and vest. Laying down next to you, he planted a kiss on your head as you slept through the night.

The next morning you were in Ciel's room, checking up on his condition. You picked the thermometer from his mouth, "He looked a lot better than yesterday," you said. Though he was still pale, he was making a progress. You put away the thermometer as Sebastian pulls the blanked to his shoulder. "They do say that sleep is the best medicine. Let's not wake him, then." You continued, brushing your hands to your skirt. You walked to the door as Sebastian followed suit, closing Ciel's door.

In the hallway, Agni called out, "Sebastian!" You turned back to him as did Sebastian. "Yes?" He answered back. Agni bowed slightly, you noticed he was carrying a sleeping Soma on his back. "I apologize for getting carried away yesterday." Said Agni with an apologetic tone.

Sebastian shook his head, "Nonsense, it was very illuminating advice," he responded with a smile. Agni smiled uneasily, "I couldn't presume to give you advice. You're a better khansamah than me." He spoke up. "But you're not kind enough!" Soma shouted behind him. Agni noticed but Soma didn't want him to know that he was awake. He told Agni to move his mouth as he talked instead. Sebastian was too scary to talk to was his reason.

"You're nowhere near as kind to your master as I am," Soma said as Agni moved his mouth. You narrowed your eyes at his words, somehow agreeing with him. "I'm not kind?" Sebastian asked.

"That's right! He should be spoilt when he's sick. And you should be more kind." Soma continued before he jumped from Agni's back and ran away. "Be kind to him. Just do it!" He yelled as he took a turn. Agni pleaded and followed his master.

"That was.... odd," You paused, raising a brow before continuing, "...although he got a point," you shrugged, leaving him in the middle of the hallway. He watched you for a moment before following you. "You were saying?" He walked alongside you.

You looked up at him as you made your way to the living room. "What? He's right. You're too... How do I say this..." You trailed off, thinking about what should you say. "You're too... Not-human-y." He raised his brow to you at that.

"How would you suggest me to do?" He asked. You casually shrugged, "Don't know, maybe show compassion?"

That same night, the three of you made your way to the kidnapper's mansion. You had a very bad feeling, the place looked like it was abandoned. Sebastian scanned the area, sensing if there anything in particular. "Well?"

"Yes, I don't know if they're all here but those who are seemed well," Sebastian replied to Ciel as he nodded. He walked up to the door, with you and Sebastian trailing behind. The front door opened before he could even knock, revealing Joker in the dark.

He looked down at Ciel with empty eyes, "Welcome to the manor, Lord Phantomhive."  Joker greeted you three, moving away for you to step in. You weren't surprised, you knew he was behind this all along.

"Please, come in." Joker pleaded. Inside was dark, very dark. You could barely see anything. There was not a single sound or light. That was when you heard a music box started to play, echoing to the hall. A sound of creaking echoed to the room and was soon illuminated by the candles which were light. The candles were lit up, illuminating the room slightly.

The room was filled with what it looks like dolls and mannequins. Or maybe parts of the prosthesis like the ones that the doctor explained back at the circus. On the walls, up the ceiling, sides of the stairs, everywhere you look it was there. Your brows narrowed at how bizarre the room was. How could anyone cope with this?

"This way please." Joker led you to where he was going. He walked down a hallway as the three of you followed him. "Dinner is ready," Joker said, opening up two big doors ahead of him, revealing a dining room with a long table.  You stepped in and Joker pulled out a chair for Ciel. He sat down as you and Sebastian stood by him.

"Lord Phantomhive. You came!" The doors on the other side opened. A man in a wheelchair appeared. He had bandages all over his face with a wicked smile. Your brows furrowed at the man, the same man you saw on the photograph you found in Beast's tent. You saw the person who wheeled him in, of course. Dawn was there, she pushed him in, setting him on the other side of the table. She looked at you with sad eyes, you frowned, looking away.
