I'll Love You Forever: Ciel X Reader

56. Final Duel

"Please, Ciel! It's about (Y/N)!" Elizabeth said while she walked desperately behind Ciel.

Ciel ignored her. For all he knew she could be lying about everything. He knew Elizabeth didn't like (Y/N) because she took her place to marry Ciel. "Elizabeth please. Its early, I want to sleep."

Elizabeth grabbed Ciel's hand to turn him around but before she could Ciel yanked it out of her grasp. "Please, Ciel! You don't understand! She's in danger!"

"How do I even know you'll tell me the truth, huh?" Ciel said with a cold tone.

"Because I'm the one that planned for her abduction." She said. "I'm the one that gathered all of those people you saw when you tried to rescue (Y/N) at that abandoned house. I'm the one that couldn't handle the feeling of you breaking the engagement and choosing her. I'm the one that should be in her place right now... not (Y/N)...." Elizabeth fell to her knees and let silent tears run down her cheeks.

Ciel was shocked to know that Elizabeth was the one behind everything. He couldn't move or process what he was just told, he was speechless.

Elizabeth looked up at Ciel's blank stare at her. "I understand if you hate me, Ciel. I would too."

"No."

She furrowed her eyebrows. "W-What?"

He grabbed her shoulders and helped her back onto her feet. "I don't hate you, I never did. You're family and one of the only people I have left. I am disappointed and mad at your actions, Elizabeth, but tell me everything you know about (Y/N) and where she is."

Elizabeth nodded and told Ciel and Sebastian everything. She made sure not to leave out any details to make sure they fully understood the importance of it and even handed them the letter Alois sent her.

"So, you're telling me that Alois is the one that has (Y/N) and had her memories of me are erased?" Ciel asked.

"Yes. She has a ring that blocks them out. As long as she's wearing the ring, all of her memories stay gone until the creator of the ring takes it off themselves." She explained. "But we have to hurry and save her tonight or else she.... she'll die."

Ciel closed his eye and stood up. "What are we waiting for. Stay here as I tell Sebastian to gather everyone in the library."

Suddenly, there was a piercing scream coming from one of the rooms. Sebastian was the first to run. Ciel and Elizabeth ran to the source of the scream and found Laura on the floor being held by Sebastian. Her body was glowing and almost lit up the whole room as she yelled with pain.

"What the hell?" Ciel said. "Sebastian what's going on?"

"I think she's dying, master!" Sebastian said through Laura's screams.

Laura stopped screaming and tried to speak to them. "I'm sorry...I've been dying for the last four years... all this time I—" She stopped to scream. "—I've been elongating my life... just to spent time with my dear Sebastian and (Y/N)..."

Sebastian held her tighter. "Laura, stop screaming... let me help you, I—"

Laura put her hand on Sebastian's lips. "Shh... it's ok... don't. I've been stretching out my life too long that even if you tried it wouldn't work."

Then the unimaginable happened. Sebastian started to cry.

"I just wanted to see (Y/N) one last time... save her... please." Laura said with her voice getting weaker with every word she says.

"We will, dear, we will. I promise." Sebastian held her weak hand and kissed it.

"Thank you..." Laura used her last bit of strength and kissed Sebastian. "Goodbye everyone... goodbye Sebastian... you're one hell of a butler... I love you...."  After that her body stopped glowing and she started to fade more and more transparent. Sebastian let go once her body was completely gone.
