The duel.

CIELS POV
I was just getting into bed (I would need all my energy for my duel in the morning) when I heard a familiar voice. I couldn't pinpoint it though. It was beautiful, like soft velvet sliding off my hand -so soft and smooth it makes me shiver! There was a balcony to my room and so I quietly walked onto it. What I saw was something rare; Alois Trancy had his elbow resting on the railing and his cheek resting on his palm! His eyes seemed almost dreamy, as if he had been hypnotised by the singing. I was about to say something when he sighed, and as his shoulders slouched, I caught a glimpse of a black, wolf ear and long, (h/c) hair blowing and glowing gently. It was then that I realised the voice was coming from whatever was in front of Trancy! I leant over the rail and saw my maid, gazing up at the moon with her large, lapis eyes that were so smilar to mine, hair glow-blowing and ears and tail relaxing in the music. She was the one with that beautiful, no! Angelic singing voice. She sang 'The wolf' I recognised it from when Sebastian sang it to me on one of his first working days as my butler.
"She is angelic." I found myself muttering loudly.
Trancy turned, "isn't she just! Same time, same song every night. She glows when she sings it, even more so on the full moon a few days ago!" He smirked, "I bet you had wished you could of heard it as many times as I did! Don't you! And I shall hear it 100 times more once I have won tomorrow!"
"I highly doubt that, you see, I am the king in this game, you are merely another enemy pawn I have to remove from the game. A foolish puppy, trying in vain to steal the guard dogs bone." I told him in a threatening tone.
"Ha ha! Your always so funny Ciel! The way you loose your temper so easily is very amusing to me!" He giggled and clapped his hands once, "well, the song is coming to a close, you wouldn't want to be caught staring now would you?" He giggled and skipped into his room. He is such and insufferable little...! and how I wish I could just use my bare hands to.....
Humane thoughts Ciel, no inhuman thoughts Ciel, you can at least try. Even if they're about that b*stard Alois Trancy..
But I suppose I should get some rest. I turned and walked into my room as (y/n)a magical glow faded and the song came to a close...

ALOIS POV
Time skip to first light brought to you with the power of your
A-MAZING singing!
I yawned and stretched.
First light, time to duel! I would never admit it but, well, I'm scared. Scared of dying. I may not, i don't have to, unless Ciel is in the mood for a death match over one spectacular Demon girl. It seems a bit silly for someone like Ciel but still, I don't want to lose, not if it means to loose (y/n)! I thought of all this as Claude dressed me.
Time to wake Ciel! I thought as I left and ran down to his room. (which in all honesty was right next to my room literally, we're neighbours!) I burst through the doors and dragged him off the comfy bed and cheered, "wake up! It's time for our fight!" Claude dressed him, despite the protests and we headed to the main hall. He walked sensibly with pride whereas I danced and ran with mock happiness. I was terrified!
When we had our swords, my opponent made some speech or whatever that I didn't pay attention and we started walking. We both turned on the 4th which was technically cheating, but I don't think it mattered this time. We were fighting over the most talented maid either of us had ever seen! It was a savage battle, I had to shut out everything and focus on being lighthearted and playful, that was when I thrived most. When I felt as if I was playing tag with a childhood friend which of course, never existed. (And not Luka either!) That was when I had the most chance at victory!

Your POV
I dressed and started to collect the masters clothes to wash. Once I had finished that chore, Sebastian made me take the long way to the kitchen and gave me a cooking lesson where we had a cake mix fight. My brother leapt and danced and chuckled, while I was ducking and running and laughing and squealing in delight. We had much fun, which was strange. "Right, Sebastian, I need to tidy and take Ciel and Alois' breakfast now!"I squealed as I ran for cover. We had been flinging food for almost an hour, this was a side of my brother that no one other than I had seen, less professional and serious I mean. I loved it, this part of him!
"But we were just having fun!" He fake pouted.
"The boys will be mad if we don't bring them food in a presentable state!" I smiled as I cleaned my (h/c) hair in the sink and wiping my face with a cloth, "you of all butlers should know this!" I reminded him.
"Yes master. Of course my young lord. Shall I fetch your tea while I am away bathing?" He bowed. He was pretending I was Ciel. So mature, he always got like this when we were just having loads of fun.
"Yes, Sebastian, and what is today's schedule?" I imitated pretending to be busy and posh.
"Hmm. Today's schedule is food fights with your older brother and not entering the main hall." He bowed.
"Why not the hall?" I asked frowning. I dont recall anything happening in there, or bieng told to stay out. How peculiar...
"Oh, its nothing. (Y/n) you should really get bathed and changed, anyone would think you had just spent the last hour throwing food." He claimed, back in butler mode.
Suspicious.
I went and bathed, changed and crept down the steps. I was so close to the hall when Sebastian appeared in front of me suddenly, holding me back.
"Sebastian! Let me pass!" I shouted at him, trying to push past.
"I am sorry my lady. I have orders to stop you from entering today." He said.
"Oh! But! Hmmph, fine.." I mumbled turning and stepping back up the steps, swishing my braided, (h/c) hair at him.
He took his arms from the stairway and straightened his collar and I took the chance! I turned and Wolfed into a magnificent beast of midnight black fur and shimmering, amethyst eyes. I bolted passed him into the main hall. What I saw stopped me in my tracks! It was Alois and Ciel, trying to stab each other with swords, SWORDS!! Alois shoved Ciel off the top of the stairs and the dark haired boy lay, breathlessly panting at the roof, his eye was wide. Alois jumped and landed on top of Ciel, straddling him and he brought the sword down towards Ciel's heart. I started to slowly move forwards. I tried to move faster but the pain of seeing my two masters like this held me back. Luckily, my young lord caught and held the blade above him with furious, determined flames burning in his eye. It drew blood on his hand, a lot of it too! He wouldn't be able to hold it for much longer. They were exchanging words I couldn't hear and that was when I saw my young lord's blade sneaking up to pierce my second Master. I urged my paws forward, growling at myself until I was running towards them.
Just as Ciel's sword was about to stab Alois, I leapt and slid, quickly between them, so it was I who got stabbed, instead of one of my beloved masters and friends.
The devastating pain hit me almost instantly and I let out and agonized howl before collapsing onto Ciel who was beneath me. They got up and Ciel turned away, "foolish creature, it should of kept out of the way." But Alois, he knelt next to me and stared at my half open eyes and gaping mouth.
"No! She's not a creature! Look at those precious eyes! It's (y/n)! Ciel! We killed (y/n)!" He cried. His nose was running and tears raced down his cheeks and dripped into my plush fur, once midnight black, now blood red on my right side. Ciel instantly turned and saw my eyes. I was wheezing for breath and the noise and vision was being drained from me. He threw himself down beside me, "(y/n)! (Y/n)! Is that you?! You terrible fool! Why sacrifice yourself?!" He cried. I used some of my limited energy to UnWolf and cried out in the pain. I lifted my shaky hand to my wound and took it away soaked in reddish-purple blood, the blood of the last of a dying breed. Of a Demon that was also a Wolf. And I smiled at them and whispered, "to save you... both... so you could.. live.. your *hssss! Gasp!* safe.. now..." I reached up and stroked each of their faces with a hand each. "I...love you..... both.... my masters... my... friends..." my vision went black, all was silent and I felt myself fade. It was slow but warm. Cosy...
Alois POV
She went limp and her soft, (s/c), cold hand dropped to the floor. It was Luka all over again and I just couldn't bear it! I nudged her gently, before shaking her, "no, you can't go. You promised. You promised never to leave me alone." I whispered, tears trickling down my cheeks and nose runny. I fell down and hugged her body, for she was too beautiful and dear to be ever called something as hollow as 'corpse', I cared too much and by doing so, doomed her soul. I knew it would happen but I didn't bother trying to stop it, to protect my precious (y/n)! I.. I think I love her! This only made my cry more.
CIELS POV
She was gone, and I felt something I had only felt for my parents before. It was warm and tingly, but i see her body and it becomes torturous! I cried my heart out and shouted, "SEBASTIAN! I NEED HELP! GET YOUR DEMON *RSE IN HERE NOW! THATS AN ORDER!" I shouted. Sebastian had been standing, motionless at the scene the whole time. Too heartbroken to move but now, he ran at the speed of light to my darling's side. I stopped crying and wiped my face.W-wait! What did I just call (y/n)? My darling? Ciel, your engaged to Lady Elizabeth Midford, you cant love this girl. Because that's what I feel, love for this girl, this Demon, this maid.
I saw Sebastian -what! Was he crying? What am I saying? Of course he was crying! He had just seen his beloved sister, stabbed by none other than his master- He was also muttering something I couldn't hear. And I didn't want to, "Sebastian, I ORDER you," I said touching my eyepatch before tearing it off to revival the purple contract symbol on my right eye, "do whatever it takes and whatever you can to save (y/n) Tsuki Michaelis!" I know I didn't need to order him as he would anyway but her breathing was only just there and it was fading by the second. He should be trying to help prolong her life. It had influenced and become dear to many around her and there's that amazing, awful feeling I have for her.
"Yes, my lord." He replied standing up with her in his arms...
"Good." I said to him..
