My eyes darted to the blood covering young lord's hands and I felt sick to my stomach. "Ang...Angela-" In an instant he was cut off and doubled over to throw up on the floor. "Young master!" We both dashed to his side. Even I knew how unusually wary I was of Sebastian's skin.

"Help...my body is...on..fire." Sebastian picked the boy up and dashed out the room. Down the corridor to master Sullivan's room.

"Master Sullivan! Please help us master Sullivan!" He exclaimed, banging on the door.

All I did while master Sullivan led us to the basement was stare at young master. He looked defeated from the ailment upstairs and I knew that this could be nothing but the witch's curse. 

"Quick Wolf! Prepare the pot for the purification ceremony!" I understood master Sullivan, I even understand Wolf as he murmurs to himself the appropriate elicits to put into the pot. But I only stand and watch as Sebastian disproves along with young Lord and jump into the pot. I suddenly feel an amiss feeling.

Sebastian funnels medicine down young master's throat and he looks panicked to the point where I turn my back. I have this feeling, this feeling mixed with doubt. I don't think this will resolve the problem.

Later

Young master has been sleep ever since the ceremony two hours ago. I am worried to say the least. But he soon wakes up with a start. I walk over to his bedside but when I grab his wrist he starts to thrash and scream. I stumble back and fall on the ground.

"Young master!" He slaps Sebastian's hand away. And clings to Finny. "No! Ciel doesn't want pain any more!"

"It's dark...where am I? I'm scared." I grab my chest.  This is the feeling I've felt. Seeing young lord's face stained in tears.

Sebastian steps forward."Young master...What do you mean, it's not dark at all..." He reaches out for the cringing boy but Tanaka grabs his wrist. "I'm afraid the young master's eye is..."

Mey Rin gasped, "Could it be..." She started to weep and we all went into the hallway. Finny was left behind to calm young master.

"Young master's eye ughhh...!" Bard scolded her fiercely about crying but he still seemed hurt.

"But we can't take care of him while he's like this either...says Keith." Snake states.

"Yeah, he even rejected Sebastian. Just what happened to him?"

"What should we do, Sebastian?"  Tanaka asked. The demon took out his watch, "In any case, let's wait until master Sullivan gets up to talk it over. If young master orders me not to touch him then I cannot go near him. You all should get some rest too."

Mey Rin sniffles,"But what about you?"

"I have other things to do." I watched his retreating from and knew instantly again that Sebastian is hurt, worried at the least.

The others went to their rooms but I didn't need rest, so I followed Sebastian into the woods. I took precarious steps on dry leaves and looked around.

The fact that we haven't exchanged much words since arriving here went out of my mind.

"Sebastian?" He turns around before I call his name. Sebastian gives me a wary look. "You need comfort. That was, really shocking what happened to young master."

"...yes." He looks down and a part of me can't believe seeing Sebastian like this.

"You seem distraught."  I say. "That's one of many reasons." He takes off his give and his hand, just like the rest of his visage, is spotted in the marks gradually healing.

"There's no way a demon like me could be affected by some evil spirit's miasma." He says, looking at me.

"Why aren't I affected?"

"Because the miasma's gone. I'm certain that you would be affected too." I nodded, still thinking of young lord.

"Is there any way we can stop this, at least prevent it from getting further?"

"I believe master Sullivan is the key to that." He takes a small twig from a tree,  "Anyhow. It seems it'd be better if we stay in the werewolves' valley until young master recovers."

At the entrance of manor Sebastian turns to me. And at the moment I hope that he gives me useful instructions because without young lord what can I do?

"Angela, we have to stay together in this. Your legs are still shaking." I look down and the slightest tremble cause my legs to wake at spontaneous moments. His voice softens for the first time, "While young master isn't with us, I'll have to look over you once again." He sighs as he says it but I hear a joking tone in his voice.

"We will, of course have to serve under another."

"Of course." I reiterate.

"And that will be master Sullivan, the Green Witch." I nod in understanding. Young master, we will return soon.

So, I know this chapter is kind of lame. I'm sorry, I've been real busy but I'm trying to squeeze this stuff in. I hope that you guys keep reading, voting, and commenting. Until next time.
