Chapter 15
A/N: Hey my little yaoi kittens, I'm back with the next chapter of my story, sorry it's been so long since I've updated, but I've been dealing with the worse case of writers block I've ever seen in my entire life and it was a complete hell to get rid of it. Anyways, some of the lines in this chapter are lyrics from the Vocaloid song "Witch Hunt." I just thought the lyrics suited this story very well, especially what's happening in this chapter. Well, that's all I had to say and I guess I'll see you all in the next authors note.
Disclaimer: I don't own the song used in this chapter
Some of the lyrics have two people speaking, more specifically Sebastian and Ciel, so you'll see the line written in italics with bold text. If it's Ashe and Sebastian you'll see it written with normal bold text that's underlined.

(Ciel's POV)
I let out a light yawn as the feeling of someone lifting me awoke me from my slumber. My eyes opened slowly to see that my hands were bound again and my legs as well, I was swung over someone's shoulder like a sack, and I was outside, a crowd of people gathered around as the person carrying me stopped and dropped me on what felt like a wooden platform.
Someone behind me yanked me up by my hair, forcing me to sit back on my knees and be met with the merciless gazes of the angry villagers, but standing directly in front of me, dressed in a black robe, holding a long sword that glistened in the sun. "It appears you've finally awoken witch, just in time for your sinful blood to be used to forge the demon sword that will kill you demonic lover," Ashe said with a sinister grin, tilting my head up with the tip of the blade so my sapphire eyes met his lavender ones.
Gave him such a glare that it could kill, but all he did was laugh as he turned to the crowd and shouted,"everyone! Let us punish this witch for his crimes of black magic!" Ashe looked to Sebastian, who was baring his fangs and growling lowly as his pupils turned to slits and his irises glowed crimson.
I sighed, letting my eyes close as I tilted my head toward the sky, opening them once again to see the moon slowly moving toward the sun. "Held by the cross, I look up at the sky..." I began to whisper the setting of my death as the villagers in the background started chanting their prayer.
"Repent! Repent!"
I shut my eyes tightly and hung my head saying to myself,"please, erase the voices of prayer."
"Dedication reduced to nothing!"
Clenching my teeth tightly I growled out,"if you call this love black magic-"
"Repent! Repent!"
"Then light the flames of hatred!" I shouted in anger, my irises now glowed a bright-neon-blue, shocking the people that surrounded me.
"Do not be afraid! The death of this witch is weighing upon us!" Ashe settled the people who began to panic, some telling children to leave or stick close to them as they began chanting again.
(Sebastian's POV)
I listened as those damn humans started their meaningless prayer, but I could still hear Ciel muttering something under his breath, but when he shouted that phrase I looked in shock. Never in my entire life have I seen a witch act like this, not even during the Salem witch trials.
I was snapped out of my surprised state by the sound of a laugh, more specifically, Ashe's laugh. I let out a low growl, my feathers ruffling, and my tail lashing back and forth when I saw that white haired shift his eyes toward me for a second before saying,"a demon calls out, tied to a cross-"
"Repent! Repent!"
I narrowed my eyes as I saw his lips curl up into a grin that would go unnotic d by a normal human, but I could tell he was doing this to spite me and make me furious by the fact that he called Ciel a demon. "Before shouting out its evil spell-" he paused to smirk at me as the villagers continued chanting.
"Virtue reduced to vice!"
I couldn't stay silent any longer by the way these foolish humans treated him like some monster as I shouted in anger,"if you judge that this is a crime of black magic!" All those humans turned to look at me in fear and back away while I tried to break these stupid chains that bound me, but it take them long to recover and start chanting again.
"Now, everything is!"
"Then light the sacred flames!"
"He's lost his way!"
(Ciel's POV)
I glared at Ashe, he should've known better than to test a demon. I looked at all the angry people surrounding me and said,"the foolishness of empty headed people!" Loud enough for everyone to hear, but I was surprised to hear Sebastian and I speaking in unison.
"Repent! Repent!"
"That evening sun's red will continue to burn!"
"Death is weighing upon us!"
I looked up again and saw that the solar eclipse was starting and I could feel fear begin to take over as my eyes glazed over with unspilled tears. Ashe walked over to me and pressed the cold blade of the sword against my cheek and slowly moved it away, making a cut deep enough that blood spilled and dripped onto the wood below.
My breath hitched as I muttered to myself in a shaky voice,"held by the cross, I look up at the sky."
"Repent! Repent!"
The tears that I was holding back began gradually spill as I tried to stop them, whispering in a pleading voice,"please, erase the voices of prayer."
"Dedication reduced to nothing!"
I looked up at Ashe with a sad smile and saw him recoil back in shock as I said loud enough for him to hear,"if you call this love black magic-"
"Then light the flames of hatred," I said in a tone not as angry as the first time.
"He's lost his way!"
(Ashe's POV)
These damn demons are trying to contaminate me with their words, but I won't let them corrupt me as I saw my vision become blurry for a brief moment. "What's happening?" I asked as I wiped my eyes with my hand to show that they were tears.
"Just like this red, burning flamed!"
"Repent! Repent!"
I could feel the tears in my eyes begin to stream down my cheeks as I felt my heart tighten again, just like it did yesterday. Why does this keep happening? I shouldn't feel any guilt for what I'm doing to these creatures.
"Don't forget the reason for your bitter tears!"
"Death is weighing upon us!"
The moon had finally covered the sun completely and the village was shrouded in darkness except for the few lamps and candles illuminating the ceremony happening before us. I walked over to the witch and raised my sword then brought it down, slashing across his chest as he gasped for breath and blood spilled from the wound and onto the blade, slowly corrupting it until he warped into the shape of a demon sword.
(Sebastian's POV)
My pupils dilated at the sight of Ciel bleeding out. I felt something inside me snap as my natural instincts took over, I am going to rip that priest apart for what he did.
Since the solar eclipse was happening, I was a lot stronger, and that meant I could break through this damn barrier with ease. I let out an ear piercing screech as I broke the chains pinning me down and destroyed the barrier as well. I lunged at Ashe, pinning him to the ground as I growled, baring my fangs, ready to rip out his throat when he kicked me off.
"I'll kill you, I'll Kill You! I'LL KILL YOU!" I shouted, dropping down to all fours and trying to lunge at him again, my claws unsheathed as I caught the blade in my hand, feeling the blood well up on my palm, but the pain was nothing to me as I called at his chest, sending him stumbling back, until he fell, dropping the sword.
"I'm going to rip off every single one of your limbs!" I growled, stalking over to him as I lifted a clawed handed, ready to plung it into his chest and rip out his heart, but just as I was going to, I felt a chill run through my body and coughed up blood.
Shakily, I looked down to see the demon sword run me through. I snarled at the priest who was smirking at me then thrust my hand into his chest and crushed his heart in my hand as I shakily stood and pulled the sword out, stumbling over to Ciel who was breathing heavily, holding his stomach and coughing up blood.
"C-Ciel," I fell to my knees once I reached him and held him close, feeling his body tremble," Se-Sebas-Sebastian...I'm-I'm sc-scared," he said, looking up at me with tear stained cheeks. "I know your afraid, but it's going to be okay, just rest," I said, nuzzling his hair. I could hear his heartbeat steadily getting slower, meaning he was going to die soon, but I was too.
"Seb-Sebastian, ca-can you sing me the re-rest of that lullaby?" Ciel asked in a quiet voice, practically a whisper. "Of course my little butterfly." I watched as he closed his eyes and rested against my chest, drifting off into a dreamless slumber as I sung to him, nodding off myself until everything was black.
So rabbit please stop looking the other way
It's cold out there so why not stay here
Under my tail.
