Ciel looked at the last remaining cult members huddled in a corner in the basement of the Phantomhive manor. They looked pitiful, Ciel thought. Almost as pitiful as himself when they held him captive like a wild animal. "Sebastian, I think they have suffered enough humiliation." Ciel said without pity.

"What are your orders, my Lord" Sebastian replied with a grin.

"Show them no matter how much they beg no one will help them and kill them," Ciel said his voice cold and merciless. He clutched his right hand. This felt complete to him in his own way. Soon every human that had wronged him would be dead.

"As you say," Sebastian smiled. At that moment he threw a string of 5 knifes, pinning each cult member to the wall. Sebastian, with his demon hearing, could heard them muttering for mercy to their god. But he knew it was not loud enough for his master to hear them clearly. His eyes lit up a bright red and a thin layer of smoke surrounded the demon. "What's that? I can't hear you." He said walking across the room. He grabbed the biggest man and held a knife to his neck. "God, help me," the man screamed. Sebastian looked around the room and teasingly. "It appears he is not showing up," he said and slit his throat. The man died quickly. Sebastian killed the other four cult members, in the room, in the same fashion.

After the task was done Sebastian looked back at his master. With previous cult members he killed Ciel looked emotionlessly back at him and continued his day like nothing ever happened. But today he gave one of his rare small smiles.

Ciel looked back at Sebastian. "I suppose you will want your pay now," Ciel said and was surprised on how easy it was for him to keep his voice steady.

"Very soon, my Lord. But might I suggest we go to a more suitable location?" he said.

"Very well."

"I'll prepare the carriage then," Sebastian walked towards the door and gave a half bow before he left the basement.

15 minutes later Ciel was in the Phantomhive Carriage. Sebastian was driving. He was curious where the demon was taking him but didn't ask. He would know soon enough. He looked out the window everything felt surreal to him. The sun was shining bright with only a few thin hazy clouds in the sky and he felt calm like today was just an ordinary day. He was unsure if what was going to happen just didn't sink in yet or if he simply didn't care. Either way, for right now, the world felt peaceful.

The carriage stopped. Sebastian got off the coachman seat and walked towards the carriage. "Wait one moment, my Lord." After hearing no protest from his master the demon left.

After about 5 minutes Sebastian came back and opened the carriage door. Ciel got out not saying a word.

"Master, You're rather quiet this evening?" The butler said in a questioning tone.

"There is nothing to say," Ciel replied sharply.

"My apologies. In any case for dinner this evening I've prepared meat sandwiches and Earl Grey tea," he said as they went around the carriage and a set up picnic table was in plain view.

Ciel looked dumbfounded. "Dinner?"

Sebastian took out his watch. "It is dinner time, my young lord."

"Indeed it is," Ciel said. He grinned to himself. He should have known Sebastian would not rush things. One last picnic was poetic in its own way. Ciel looked at his surroundings. There was the picnic table Sebastian had prepared and next to it an old abandoned house that looked to be barely standing. As Ciel walked up to the table he could see it was rather old too but Sebastian had a fancy white tablecloth over it and a cushion for him to sit on. Ciel wondered where Sebastian found this old, out of the way, dump.

He sat down and his butler poured him a cup of tea. "Sebastian, as you know, your services will no longer be needed soon. Do you have any future plans?" the boy asked and took a sip of tea. Ciel didn't know why he was curious but he was.

"I believe I will go on a vacation of some sorts for a while until something new peaks my interest." The butler said courteously.

Ciel nodded the answer satisfying him. "Would you like a letter of recommendation?"

"A kind offer sir. But fortunately my line of work has high demand. The hard part is finding people that can afford me."

Ciel grinned and finished the rest of his tea in silence taking a bit of his sandwich once in a while. It was excellent quality like usual. Looking at the sun beginning to set in the distance Ciel pondered how long it has been since the day he first made the contract with Sebastian. It had to have been at least four years ago but it felt like only a few months. He finished his meal and looked at Sebastian, "What's next on today's schedule?"

"Follow me," he said and went towards the abandoned building.
