'Pain..Pain..Pain..'

Those thoughts raced on Ciere's unconscious mind. A few of her senses are coming back, she felt a breeze of air touched her back and her body trembled in response. She was being carried, by someone. Someone she does not recognize, the structure of the arms were too sturdy and masculine for it to be Ciel. It was different and she started panicking a little because she can't see who nor can she open her eyes yet. In the midst of her panic a familiar voice was heard and her body immediately relaxed.

"..S....tian....c..er..h..."

Her hearing slowly regaining its sense and she was immediately tried to know a bit of what her brother was saying. Focusing on her ears to listen more, when suddenly a warmth spread through her body and she concluded that she was wrapped up by something. She could hear trees as well as grass being stepped on, does it mean that they're outside? Why is she alive? Didn't she die? A lot of questioned formed on her mind and her body started wriggling as an attempt to move her body but only end with a gasp of pain from her abdomen.

"Young Master, it seems that the mistress is awake." the butler informed and Ciel was immediately beside him.

"Ciere?" Ciel called out, questioning her consciousness if she was really awake.

Slowly and barely Ciere was able to gasp out Ciel's name, pain was clearly evident on her voice. Ciere's eyes slowly fluttered open, her sapphire eyes unfocused, trying to reach out to her brother whom immediately grasp her hand.

"W-Where *pant* a-*pant*re we?" Ciere asked, warmth covering her hand. "Don't worry, we are safe now. Rest for now, Ciere. I shall wake you up once we arrive." Ciel assured, thumbs moving in circle at her hand.

Ciere smiled and once again closed her eyes, seemingly entered into a deep slumber. Once Ciel was sure that Ciere was asleep, he glance at the demon.

"Sebastian, Let us return to the mansion." Ciel ordered in determination as they have been roaming around aimlessly at the forest.

"Finally a work to do" Sebastian mused, he was quite bored for a while now, just walking carrying a almost lifeless girl in his arms without fighting a bloodbath battle.

"Well then, shall we return now? Would you mind leading the way, Young Master?" Sebastian politely asked with a fake smile while Ciel on the other hand just stare blandly at him.

"I don't know where it is. In fact, I do not even have the slightest clue on where we are right now." Ciel deadpan, sighing, shaking his head as if disappointed. An irk mark throbbed on Sebastian's head, still smiling gracefully.

"I have a relative in the Royal Hospital. Let us head there first." Ciel ordered. It would also be a great opportunity to have someone to aid Ciere's wound.

Heading their way Sebastian slowly placed Ciere at his one arm and grabbed Ciel's waist, carrying him like a sack of rice causing the earl to complain and struggle. "Young Master if you do not want the Young Mistress to fall you might as well as behave yourself." with that being said, Ciel immediately behaved.

Although the way that Sebastian handled him was rough, Ciel did not complain and obediently wore the clothes and eye patch that Sebastian stole for him and Ciere. His younger twin was now a lot more presentable than earlier but their clothes was still poor quality which would fit a commoner.

Sebastian wiped out the blood from their bodies however they were still a little bit dirty.

Without wasting any seconds they were finally at the entrance of the hospital. Ciel entered first, his butler carrying his sister followed. They've gained a lot of disgusted look and a lot of hateful glare, clearly seen that they are unwelcome. Gossips surrounds the room as Ciel went to the front desk.
