Everyone looked so stunning at the ball and the guests were so lively. It made me very happy. Claude dressed me in purple and kept the black suit. Every person I passed gave me a greeting and desired to dance with me. Pathetic. I was looking for Phantomhive and when I finally found him, he practically ran to me.

"Aurora!" He gripped me into a hug. His arms crushed me. I was utterly confused by him. How did he know me? Maybe I've met him before.

"It's nice to finally meet you Lord Phantomhive." I curtsied. He looked at me in disbelief.

"Aurora it's me. Ciel, your brother." He said with sad eyes. Two men in black were behind Lord Phantomhive with the same look. The one that was a bit shorter than the other started talking.

"My lady don't you remember me?" My head shook. This was getting weird. I felt someone was behind me.

"Lady Trancy." He handed me a glass of wine. "Here you are." I smiled and looked at it a bit disapprovingly. Ciel chuckled sadly.

"You never did like wine." He said. I stared at the glass of wine and Phantomhive lead me away from the three butlers and the guests.

"Aurora what are you doing here? I told you not to be around the Trancy Estate."

"I'm sorry Lord Phantomhive but I don't know what you're talking about." I said.

"It's me. You're brother Ciel." His hand was on my shoulder. I was completely clueless on it. I shook my head and he was getting more and more upset that I had no idea who he was. He looked so heartbroken when he tried explaining everything to me and I didn't understand it at all. I'm his sister? I contracted with a demon named Dimitri? He contracted with Sebastian? Hell I barely knew what a contract was! Nothing clicked in my head when he told me that my last name was actually Phantomhive and not Trancy. I've been here for so long that I should at least know who and what I am.

"You really don't remember me?" I think he was finally giving up. I still shook my head. "I have to make you remember somehow. Is anything coming clear to you? Please you have to remember me. Our parents died in a fire and we were…" He trailed off and his eyes went really wide. He turned me around and unzipped my dress.

"W-what are you doing?" I was about to scream till he covered my mouth.

"You have to remember." He traced something on my back and from the corner of my eye he was smiling. "This has to make you remember. You still have those scars Aurora." He turned me around again. "Look in the mirror tonight and let me know what you see. Please I can't risk losing you to him. He's trying to control you." I am so confused right now! I scratched my head. I blinked and nodded but I still wasn't getting it.

"Excuse me but I must be going." I curtsied and walked away. Claude was right by me the whole time. The crowd of guests opened a huge space, letting a blonde man make a grand entrance. My heart overfilled with joy and I ran towards him, into his arms.

"Big brother!" He hugged me eagerly.

"My baby sister. Are you enjoying the ball?" I nodded and kissed my cheek. I giggled but stopped when Alois and Ciel were having a stare down. I held on to his sleeve while he snickered.

"Trancy, what the hell have you done?' Phantomhive clenched his fists, trying to be careful in not to ruin his reputation in front of everyone.

"How about we talk about?" He looked at me and took my hand. We walked out and it was already late at night. Alois motioned me to sit so I did at the root of a tree. Ciel kneeled to me.

"Please Aurora, remember me?" I stared blankly and hung his head. "What did you do to her?" He screamed to the top of his lungs; Alois shrugged. I heard talking from a near distance. It's those guys and Claude. While my brother and Lord Phantomhive were talking, I moved a few feet back and followed the noises. I saw that guy, Sebastian, being thrown back but he landed steadily on his feet. The other guy was running at Claude with full force. I kept behind a tree and watched them.

"You brain-washed her!" That guy, what was his name? Dimitri! Dimitri yelled and flew himself again at Claude. Sebastian ran at him on the opposite side and kicked Claude clean in the face. He skidded on the ground and wiped his face. I was dying to go in and stop it but something told me that they should settle their dispute. The problem was that every time I looked at the Sebastian and Dimitri, I felt that something was wrong. Did I really know them? I am a Phantomhive or Trancy? I contracted with… Dimitri? Where would the contract be though? I turned my back to the fight and searched for anything unusual. Nothing yet, but when I pulled my collar down, I found it.

"A seal?" I said and traced the circle lightly. There was no special design in the middle in the middle, which I though was pretty important. My chest started glowing white and I couldn't see. I fell in pain and forced myself not to scream in any way. The words on my chest were glowing.

"Ma." The first word faded. My eyes widened and I read the words to myself. "Ton." The next word faded too. I saw that each word I said drew a line to the other end of the circle. My heart started pounding vividly. "Te." The next line and the faded word. I was scared to say the next two. What would happen to me if I did? I had no idea, but that's what was so scary to me. I remembered someone telling me that to get rid of any fears is to face and the unknown but I couldn't remember who. "Tra." The word faded followed by the line. Something started coming back to me. I was contract with him. I was a Phantomhi- Trancy! What the hell was I? My head rushed and gave me dizziness. My memories were foggy and on and off when I forced myself to remember. My brother was Ciel. "Gram." The last word faded and connected to make a pentagram. A tear fell from my eye when I felt even more pain and I couldn't hold back. I screamed with all the breath that I had and cried. The wind whistled through my hair and when I closed my eyes everything was starting to come back.

"Order me, my lady." I stared into the eyes of a beautiful demon. He wiped my tears away and carried me gently. "Do you know who I am?" My hand touched his cheek and he smiled. I softened and nodded.

"Dimitri." I hugged him and cried into his chest. He petted my hair and kissed my head. I understood every now, but how did I forget about everything? Dimitri jumped into the air and hovered over Sebastian and Claude. He landed right next to them and put me down. He nodded to Sebastian.

"Sebastian, I'm sorry." I said and looked at Claude, who was oddly confused by what was going on. The attitude he carried was replaced with anger. I took a step forward and didn't take my eyes off him. "What did you do?" I scowled. This time, there would be no hiding how upset I was about all of this. I was kidnapped, contracted, nearly killed, stabbed, and more in the past few weeks. I was pretty sure anyone would be upset if it happened to them too, but I would be like Ciel, calm and collected when I needed to be. Claude fixed his glasses and flipped his hair. Definitely not unusual of him to do that.

"I am only entitled to what my master tells me." He said and nudged behind him. There was something glowing a goldish color where Alois and Ciel were. It hit me.

"Alois and Ciel." My eyes went round and I ran without even thinking. Claude blocked my path and grabbed me; Sebastian swung a fist at him out of nowhere and took me into his arms. We stood on a tree branch. Dimitri yelled while facing Claude.

"I'll handle him! Go!" I was unsettled with leaving him there. I was about to protest when Sebastian rested his hand on my shoulder. Ciel needed me right now and this was no time to worry about Dimitri. He would be able to protect himself; he was a demon after all.

"Please be safe. I'll be waiting for you to come back to me." I whispered through the wind's breeze. I was glad that he could hear me. He gave me that angelic smile that made me shudder with joy and happiness, every time, hopefully not for the last.

"I love you," My eyes widened with tears. "Be safe and careful, my lady. Now please, order me."

I looked at Sebastian who gave a quick nod, we didn't have much time. I took a deep breath and showed the seal. In that instant, my chest glowed white again.

"This is an order Dimitri Alekez, kill Claude Faustus." I tried hardening my voice to show no fear.

He gave a bow, showed his seal and still kept that beautiful smile going. I would really miss him and be worried for his safety. Dimitri's eyes glowed red and he licked his lips thoughtfully.

"Yes, with pleasure, my lady." He said and ran towards Claude with a faster pace than before.

With that we left towards the bright light. When we finally got there, Ciel was strapped by wrists and ankles by a seal. The thing was that it didn't even look like Ciel's or mine, but it was more like a flower with 5 petals. He was hanging in the air and it looked like he was unconscious.

"Ciel!" I was blocked again but by Alois and he was holding a saber. I froze and Sebastian wasn't with me anymore; he was trapped the exact same way. That was a major surprise to me; he was always perfect and for my brother and Sebastian to be caught in this type of situation was so upsetting and ran at Alois. I gave a full blown punch in the face and blood squirted out of his nose. I could feel Sebastian smiling while he watched me take hold of the saber. I pointed it at him with full blown confidence when obviously I knew I wouldn't be able to stop him. I did the best I could though.

"Release them. Now." I said. My brother had has way too much confidence, I guess it kind of rubbed off on me at some point. Alois laughed hysterically. "This is no joke, Trancy. Do it. Now." He still laughed and I grimaced. What the hell was so funny?

"You're so adorable!" His eyes went big and I gave him a weird look. Wow…something really is wrong with this kid. I ran at him and swung my saber with as much force as I could. He was still laughing and he held my saber by the blade. His blood dripped slowly down till it reached my hand. I pulled back and ran to Sebastian, trying to figure out how to get him and my brother out the trapped that was made on them. I looked closer at the design and I recognized it instantly. I turned to Alois.

"This is your seal." It was fact but I'm pretty sure he took it as a question instead of a statement.

"Yes." He licked his lips and gave away the glowing seal on his tongue. The exact same design. He ran at me with a sudden saber in his hand. We clashed our weapons, trying to out push each other.

"Where the hell did you get another saber from?" I said with confusion. He smiled maliciously.

"That's so not lady like, baby sister!" He shoved me back and I fell and hit my head on the tree trunk. I rubbed my head and got back up. My brother was still unconscious and hanging. Alois was looking at him like he was a meal.

"I finally have you, Ciel." He applied sweetly and licked his lips again. I ran at him again and pierced him on his side. The same side he did to me.

"Damn it!" He grabbed his side and swung at me. I caught it and pushed him back harshly. My hand was slit with a straight cut. We both panted slowly and heavily; I took a step back.

"No my lady!" Sebastian yelled but it was already too late. Alois seal was right under me and I was being strapped down while Ciel was released. Alois carried him like a baby and smiled.

"Finally, I have you all to myself. All three of you." He said and kissed his cheek. I gave a grossed out look. I pulled but nothing happened and I cried. After everything that I had done to Ciel and Sebastian, they didn't deserve what was happening to them. I did. These were my mistakes and I had let something so stupid take over me. I had failed terribly in my contract and now I would watch them be killed or worse. I should have died before and had never contracted.

"What do you plan on doing to him?" I asked; he looked at me with surprise and smiled.

"Kill him and transfer his soul into me." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, I figured as much. You would do something that crazy." I muttered under my breath. It seems he heard which was just what I wanted. He walked over to me with his saber and poked me with the tip. I grimaced to the pain.

"What do you mean that you figured as much?" One eye was half lidded and the other was completely wide. He was getting angry but if only Ciel would get up quicker. He stabbed my side and I cried in agony. "Tell me!" His saber went deeper in my skin and blood soaked my clothes. I didn't answer him and it upset him more. He swung at me over and over, cutting me deeply each time. I screamed in pain because each cut was worse than the last. "Tell me!" He cut the collar of my dress and the seal started glowing. My body felt that it was being burned alive at this point but the seal made the wounds hurt even more. I thought I was being put on a stake for a witch trial. I screamed again and Alois took a step back. My voice was cold and my body started glowing with my contract.

"Release them." The magic that bind me broke off and shattered into fragments. I landed gently on my feet and took Trancy by the neck, holding him high in the air. He wiggled like a pig out for slaughter. Pathetic creature. "I will not ask again. Do it!" He started crying terribly and he finally stopped moving. I threw without any hesitance and it seemed to knock him out pretty fast. I felt my body weak and the glowing fading away but I still ran to Ciel. Sebastian was already behind me when I reached him. He muttered curses and finally opened his eyes. I balled tears and hugged him.

"Thank god you're ok." I nuzzled into his neck. He looked at me and caressed my cheek.

"Do you remember me now?" I nodded and he hugged me. My heart's beating returned to normal and I helped Ciel up. "What should we do with him?' He brushed himself off. I started thinking about that.

"I will take him." A shadow emerged from the darkness and we saw Claude with so much blood and rips on his suit. He was panting heavily too. He walked casually over to his master and took him. "Till next time Phantomhives." He left, leaving us in the dust. I and Sebastian looked at each other for a little while. If Claude is alive then that meant…

"Dimitri!" My feet scurried over to the last place we left them and there he was. Lying on the ground. In a blood puddle. Dying. I fell on my knees and carried his face in my hands. He was barely alive but still.

"Dimitri, please wake up!" I cried. He coughed up blood and even after all the beating he took, he still smiled; only for me. He touched my face with the weakest gesture.

"Forgive me, I did the best that I could." He saw Ciel. "I'm glad you got him back. I'm proud of you my love." His hand fell but I took it before it could hit the ground and held it to my heart.

"Please no, we can try and do something." He barely shook his head and coughed again. My whole world was shattering into fragments.

"It is already too late but I am happy I was of service to you my lady." He still smiled and I leaned over him. My heart was breaking, he didn't deserve this. My brother kneeled next to me.

"Despite all the anger I had for you. You were a big help to me and my sister. I thank you for it." He said and stood up. Sebastian was on the other side of his becoming corpse. His face was impassive but his eyes gave away sadness.

"Dimitri Alekez," He looked at me and back at him. "I wish you luck in the afterlife." He bowed.

"Aurora, I…" His hand gave up on his strength and it fell down again but I didn't catch it. I knew that it was too late. I had really failed him in the end after all. The tears that had fallen had dried and fresh ones took their place. "Love…" His eyes were half lidded with that gorgeous smile and his face grew paler. His heart stopped all together and I cried over his chest silently. I didn't need Ciel's comfort. I didn't need Sebastian's. I moved to his face and kissed his blood covered lips. The pain I had all over my body didn't hurt anymore or at least I was too much in the moment of mourning for someone I had loved and lost dearly. I stood and fought back fresh tears; I turned to Ciel and Sebastian.

"Let's go home." I said with no emotion. Ciel carried me in his arms as we walked back to the mansion. I couldn't stop looking at his body while being carried away. A bloody angel, still so beautiful. I knew in my heart I would never forget him but trying to forget how he left me would be unbearable; I would still try my best to move on and be happy though. He would have wanted it that way.

Months later

I was sitting with my brother in the office, talking about the company when Sebastian came in with our tea. We thanked him and continued on. It had been months since the recent events and I've come to calm myself whenever I thought about him. His eyes, his smile and the way he did things around the mansion. After a couple of hours I was standing on the balcony of my room. The wind whistled softly to me, a repeating song.

"You alright?" I turned around and met face to face with my brother's shadow. My heart fluttered, hoping it was Dimitri but it was still nice to see Sebastian too. I didn't respond but I looked outside and closed my eyes. His arms encircled me and my head leaned back into his chest. He turned me around to make me look at him. He brushed my hair back. I took a deep breath and smiled sadly.

"Just trying to adjust. I know it's been a long time but…" I fought back my tears and looked at him. "I just need some more time to…" he silenced me by kissing me lightly. My arms captured his neck and his hands gripped my waist firmly. He hand skimmed my body up and down while the other kept at my waist. We let go and I was flustered.

"I want you to relax. He would've wanted it that way." He smiled. "Besides, I can't have you falling in love with someone else." He said. His eyes were so gentle but I could tell he was jealous about Dimitri. I thought of him every day.

"Yeah." I nodded again and hugged him. He kissed me again and went out of the room.

"After all," I pulled my collar down still having the seal there but faded more than it was when it wasn't active. It meant that my contract was invalid. We were both free in more ways than one. When I looked outside there was a crow sitting on the fence. The way it looked at me gave me an impression. "It was what he wanted." I walked over and pet him; he came on my shoulder. It nuzzled to my cheek. "Dimitri?" It brushed my cheek again and flew away. I smiled and watched it go into the air, soaring in the sky to something new. He was free and unrestrained. The contract would leave the scar but I would be alright. I knew I would be and I could still imagine his smile. I wasn't bound anymore and I felt that there had been a weight that lifted off my shoulders.

"You are my only shadow." I whispered to myself and saw Sebastian with Ciel outside sitting. Sebastian smiled and giggled to myself. The rest of the day was normal like any other. The sun was setting and the sky was an orange pink. I talked with Ciel and met with Sebastian, talking with them about random stuff. We decided to save the company meeting and interviews for tomorrow. I was laying bed and I fell asleep; my dream was what should have happened to me.

The environment was gloomy and dark but I was sitting on a stoned bench. There was a cold feeling but I didn't feel it too much. He was there I could feel his presence there, waiting for me.

"Dimitri…" I smiled as he walked into the dull light. He walked up to me and caressed my cheek. Then I remembered, this isn't what was actually happening. This would never be real. His face was inches to mine and his breath tickled my face.

"Yes." He said and kissed my cheek. Those eyes were a dangerous red but I still loved them so much. As much I wanted to slap my head, I believed it was him the whole time. The whole death and troubles felt like a beautiful nightmare. I didn't care anymore though. It was just me and him.

"Will this hurt?" I felt myself crying but it was silent.

"It may but I will make it as painless as possible." He drew down my collar and removed his glove, showing both seals on each other.

"No. I want you engrave every painful action that has happened to you to me. Carve my soul with as much pain as possible." For the first time ever he smiled to something so sinister and dark. It was surprising, but it didn't matter to me because I would become one with him. His eyes drew closer and I was gone. This would happen to Ciel, the only living thing that I ever loved and didn't lose to something so ridiculous. My parents would be upset and so would Ciel but I didn't really care either. I would be with my shadow again. This was the Phantomhive's curse.

"Well then, my lady."

Then…there was darkness…

I'm not sure why I didn't write anything at the bottom to ensure that thre is a sequeal to this story, plus another after that one but I just wanted to make it clear so the ending wont be so confusing. The next story is 'Her Silent Requiem' and then after that is 'Whisper my Reflected Unrequited Love'. Hope you enjoyed this as well as the other stories. Thank you.
