Grimns grabs my neck. His claws clutch my neck like a clam. He lifts my head up. I look at him. 

"You poor fool." He hisses.

"Are you going to kill me?" I ask.

He goes silent for a little while. I know this isn't going to end well for me. I let out a breath. I can feel the sun coming up. I can feel my power fading. Some of it anyway. I followed my master's orders. But I will soon not be able to serve him. At least he's safe, but I can't say the same thing about me. 

"You ruined our one chance boy." He says.

"I was just following my young lord's orders." I say. 

"And you will suffer for an eternity because of that." He says.

His scythe gem glows. I close my eyes. I know this isn't going to end well for me. At least Ciel Phantomhive is safe.

I wake up in a startle. I look around. What? I'm back at my house. Where is Sebastian? Grimns? Elizabeth. The sun was shining out. I look over and I see a cup of warm milk. I take it add some honey to it. I chug it down. I look at the clock. Sebastian usually comes soon. I look at the doors. He'll most likely come any minute.

I hear a knock on the door. My eyes widen. I knew he'd come.

"My lord are you up?" Mey Rin asks through the doors.

"Yes. Why the devil are you asking?" I ask.

Baldory, Mey Rin, and Finnian come in.

"Where is Sebastian?" I demand.

Their faces darken.

"We don't know." Baldory answers.
