Melody's POV

I am laying on my back, staring up at the white ceiling of my bedroom. Ciel and I are now immortal demons. What do we do now? We were only back at the manor because Sebastian gave us a few days to decide where to go from here. We had two options, but both have a similar ending. We could either continue our lives pretending to be perfectly normal humans, stage some tragic and sudden death, and then begin our lives as full-time demons. The second option was only different because we would be going straight into Hell. I groaned and covered my face with my hands.

I wonder what Ciel is thinking right now. . . . . .

Ciel's POV

I've never felt more alive! Nothing will stand in my way now. However, I still have my responsibilities as the Earl Phantomhive and the Queen's guard dog. At least now, I won't have to worry if Melody will be harmed because I now have the power to protect her from anything that would dare try to hurt her.

"Young Master, your afternoon tea." Sebastian said, muffled by the door. I let him in and he poured tea. Even though I am a demon now, I still hunger and thirst. Sebastian explained that the necessity will decline and eventually vanish after I eat my first soul. I would still be able to, but I would no longer have the need.

"Is everything alright?" Sebastian asked. I looked up at him, a semi-worried look was on his face. "Why wouldn't it be?" I replied. "You haven't made your decision yet," Sebastian replied. "You're usually not this indecisive." The truth is that I made my decision to leave this life behind. The problem was that I didn't know what Melody wanted to do. She hasn't really spoken much the past few days and has shut herself up in her room. Originally, I thought it was because she needed time to grieve her brother's death. But I don't think that is the case anymore. . . .

"Perhaps you should go talk to her." Sebastian said, as if he read my mind. I scowled at him, but he knew that he was right. This might be a lot for her to handle. I walked out of my study and made my way to her bedroom. I knocked on the door. "Melody, could we talk for a moment?" I asked. "Y-yes." I heard Melody say. I opened the door to see Melody sitting in the corner of her bedroom. I went to her and kneeled to look her in the eye. "You okay?" I asked. Melody looked up at me and slowly shook her head. "I'm scared." I barely heard her whisper. I reached for her hand and held it. "It's going to be okay. We're going to figure this whole demon situation together." Melody smiled at me, which made me smile back at her.

"Ciel?"

"Hm?"

"Would you mind staying on Earth for a little while." Melody asked innocently. "Just for a few months." I chuckled "Not at all." "I suppose that's good news for the Queen." Sebastian said, leaning against the doorway, holding a letter from the Queen in between his fingers. I ignored Sebastian's comment and read the letter, which also held three tickets for a to the Queen, a number of children had vanished in towns where this traveling circus has visited. All disappearing in the middle of the night, without a trace. "Looks like we are going to the circus."
