Amybrine's POV

The mansion's gone. All of it. Along with Rachel and Vincent. Amy and Ciel both got seriously wounded. Scratch that, Amy was placed on death's door. Losing her lower left arm and the right side of her heart in the process.

Ciel's aunt Angeline has been tending to Ciel's minor wounds he has since he returned to us. The fire was two months ago, Ciel returned 6 weeks ago and Amy has been unconscious since the blaze.

"Blaze has there been any developments with Amy's state? It's been two months and she still hasn't woken up" I asked my betrothed.

"Only update I can give, is that the guy I asked to forge a new arm for Amy has finished it and is attaching it as we speak." Blaze told me as we sat in Ciel's study whilst he and the new butler were away to find new servants.

"That's a bit of a relief. What metal was used?" I asked

"Damascus steel."

My eyes widened in shock when he said that

He used the ancient metal of Gehenna?!

"D...DAMASCUS?! HOW DID YOU GET YOUR HANDS ON IT?!"

"I have my ways. Besides it was a betrothal gift from your uncle. Said I could use it whenever" then someone walked in with a leather apron on.

"Sire, it's installed now. Just need to wait and see if the young lady will regain consciousness. I'll be back at my shop if you need anything else" then he vanished. Blaze then went to check on Amy's state.

It's been two months. Scythe told me she would ensure the shinigami left Amy's soul but now I fear....some of them ignored her...

I felt tears roll down my face as I stared out the window of the study overlooking the gardens Amy and I used to train in before everything happened.

"Amybrine? Any updates?" Ciel asked. I just clenched my fists against my arms

I hate being immortal so much right now. It just pains me as an immortal hell-born princess to watch my MORTAL friend potentially die.

I walked to Amy's room and when I arrived, I saw Blaze crying with a smile.

I looked at Amy realizing, her eyes were opening which made me have the same emotional reaction so I knelt beside her

"Amy...brine?" Amy muttered as Blaze helped her sit up then we all saw it:

brine?" Amy muttered as Blaze helped her sit up then we all saw it:

(Imagine that...but left arm and in a more feminine shape)

Her arm.

"You've been out cold for two months. I gave up the left side of my heart to mend that problem and Blaze here had a heavenly blacksmith forge you a new arm. When the mansion was burnt, someone cut off your left arm from the elbow down and cursed your heart at the same time. Ciel has been pretty worried. Same to our royal friends: Tori and Bertie who left that necklace showing their royal protection over you. How are you feeling anyways?" I asked as she leaned against the pile of pillows behind her.

Her eyes were lifeless for now but in time we reckon they'll return to normal.

"Weak given how long you say I've been asleep but strong enough to walk about the mansion" Amy replied so Blaze left to sort out the blacksmith with the payment whilst I helped Amy get changed

Amy's POV

Two months huh. Sheesh. And I have a metal arm...not exactly what I expected to find out after my step-parents died but whatever. Life happens and we gotta move on. I am the Queen's Phoenix still and Ciel will most likely be the new Guard Dog

I walked through the mansion trying to get my bearings when I saw Lizzy and Angeline outside with Ciel and three others.

She sure is as hyper as always

"Hey Amybrine up for a race? No magic, just something to give my legs strength again"

"Sure but only if you promise to take it easy afterwards"

"In my condition that is guaranteed." I replied which made us  both laugh.

We stood on the back door step and agreed to run to the other end of the garden

"Ready?"

"Set?"

"GO!" And we bolted.

She is fast, but she could never beat me. Metal limb or not.

Of course I won and SHE HAS DEMON SPEED FOR SATAN'S SAKE!

Amybrine and I were both panting as I tried to not get my arm wet but apparently they used metal so invincible nothing can cause harm to it

"Nice race" I replied as I caught my breath

"Even with my demonic speed active, ya still beat me. I will never understand how" and that made me laugh so we just reminisced as we stood on the little balcony in the garden

"So little has changed these past two months and yet so much at the same time. Did Ciel become the Guard Dog like how I'm the Guard Phoenix?" I asked AB

"I sure did" Ciel stated

"GAH! C! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!!! *yelps in pain from arm sticking to outfit*"

It took a moment to untangle my arm so that will take some getting used to.

"Sorry but I saw you were awake. Sebastian come here" he stated then the butler came over.

"Yes young master?" he asked.

"Sebastian this is my older sister Crown Princess Amy Shadow of Mythalia and our friend Crown Princess Amybrine Morningstar Inferno of Hell. A demon-devil hybrid princess" Ciel explained

Sebastian actually bowed to us on one knee.

"A pleasure to meet you both your majesties. I am especially honored to meet my next queen herself" Sebastian told us.

"The raven demon himself. Technically then, my uncle Satan Morningstar's children would be your next rulers. I am heir to hell in the spirit world but you come from Gehenna where I tend to hang out. A lot" Amybrine explained
