Frist of all this is a oneshot I did based off I plot I have for a roleplay, I don't plan to write anymore on this really but I might if I get the proper inspiration. The song Dance with the Devil by Breaking Benjamin inspired this as well so I suggest you listen to it while you read. I own nothing but the plot.

Summary: Elizabeth family took a trip to the orient where her family was killed. 3 years later after she has been claimed dead she shows up on a stormy night at the Phantomhive manor soaked to the bone and very much different than she was. She finally understands Ciel's pain and a certain demon now has his sights set on her.

3 years had passed since the disappearance of the Midford family. Ciel had slowly gotten over the death of his fiancé as he was no engaged to another girl who somehow had been far worse than Elizabeth ever had. Though he had moved on all the servants in the house hadn't quite gotten over the death of the female visitor and wondered what happened to take out a full family of knights. This included Sebastian, he knew the strength the girl had possessed and wondered what could have taken them out so easily. He remembered the way she turned into a lioness to protect Ciel aboard the Campania, graceful yet strong the way she moved with her swords and then in a trip to the orient, just like that, they were gone. It had been said it was just a carriage accident. They found 3 bodies. That had meant someone was missing and he had helped with the funeral seeing as at the time Ciel was too distraught to try. Though it didn't look it the boy was attached to his cousin. It may had been not in a romantic sense but she was the last thing left from his life before it was all shattered.

The weather was rainy and dark outside so it would be amazing if anyone would be willing to travel in this weather, yet as the butler walked checking things in main foyer there was a knock on the door. The butler raised an eyebrow as he went to answer the door. It was then he stared at the young woman in front of him soaked from the rain. Bright blonde hair that seemed to be suddenly dull and was down and stopping at the waist, Emerald green eyes that seemed to have the life sucked out of them and the once flawless, porcelain like skin was scared and bruised with both old and fairly recent scars. The girl was none other than Elizabeth.

Sebastian quickly let the sopping girl into the house. He didn't need to ask if it was her. Despite all the smells that lingered on her body, some that he wish hadn't been on her body, he could still smell the slight innocence that lay in her soul though something had left it tainted. It wasn't like Ciel's soul though you could say in a way they were similar. No hers had an even darker presences yet an even stronger innocence that the same time. It wasn't that she had a better soul then Ciel's, he was quite content with his masters, but the fact the blonde's would also make a nice meal if he could convince her to form a contract with him.

"Lady Elizabeth… may I ask what happened to you and your family?" He asked slowly as she then looked up at the butler a moment before she looked at the tiled ground.

"They're all dead… and it wasn't a carriage accident…" she spoke softly proving the demon's theory correct. He knew that something like that seemed highly unlikely.

"Murdered in cold blood, I was at least able to get away, though…" A shiver went through her small body as she clenched her eyes shot her hands balling up, but no tears. She hadn't cried in a long time, she wondered if it was because she forgot how to, or that she had no tears left in cry, that she had spilled them all the night her family lay in ruins.

"Though I wasn't as lucky as I would have liked" She said a slight amount of venom in her voice. She didn't speak much more and Sebastian didn't push either.

"Would you like to see the young master?" Sebastian asked he wondered what his reaction would be to seeing the blonde creature in front of him. A soft nod left her body. Of course she wanted to see her cousin. He was the only family she had left at all and she couldn't bear to not tell him she was alive. She slowly followed the butler through the familiar halls. The first time she actually started to feel safe in years and it wasn't with her cousin but rather his butler. She felt something off about him though. She hadn't been as Naïve as Ciel thought and knew Sebastian wasn't human, she didn't know what he was and didn't care to as long as he never turned his back on Ciel. He knew she knew of this and both had a silent agreement to never speak of it in front of Ciel and know he knew that if he wanted her to be his next meal he'd have to discuss it with Ciel due to him being his current master. Doors to the study soon opened.

"Haven't I told you to-"Ciel stopped midsentence seeing the girl with Sebastian. At first he couldn't recognize her. She was so different. 3 years had changed a lot. Her body had developed and her entire being seemed different but when the butler offered a small nod from behind the blonde confirming his lords thought he stood up.

"Lizzie?" he asked slowly. Hearing those words the blonde froze a moment. She hadn't heard anyone use a term of endearment to her in such a long time it felt so strange. She slowly nodded a bit now knowing how Ciel must have felt the day she came to find him alive. It was history repeating it's self yet at the same time the tables were completely turned. The young earl came up and hugged her slowly careful with her out of fear she might break or this might be a dream and she would fade away. He thought he had gotten over her death but it was now clear he had only forced himself to be numb. With her in his arms he didn't want to let go. The blonde slowly returned the hug as she understood everything now. Why Ciel had been so cold and different; she couldn't imagine what he had gone through.

He slowly pulled out of the hug.

"Dinner is over but I'm sure Sebastian can cook you something and set up a bath and room for you, your welcome to stay as long as you need" He said slowly as she nodded and then looked at the butler who nodded.

"I will do that now, Please follow me my lady" he said as she nodded. It felt awkward and strange to be back in a noble position after being a slave for so long. Elizabeth slowly walked through the twists and turns as she soon got to the dining room.

"Please wait here while I prepare dinner" he said as she gripped the back of his tail coat a moment making him stop.

"Is something wrong?" he asked slowly as she seemed to be trying to choose her words carefully.

"May I be in the kitchen with you I don't want to be alone…" she said slowly as the butler's expression softened a bit as he nodded slowly. He led her to the kitchen as he noticed she didn't let go of the tail coat till they got there. Sebastian moved a chair for her to sit in as she then looked around a moment.

"Would you like me to actually cook something or would you like me to use my abilities?" he asked seeing as she knew of his true nature.

"…. I don't really care either way." She said slowly as he nodded a bit. He then set a table cloth on the wooden table as then at that moment a small amount of food lay on it her eyes widening slightly. She glanced at him as if asking if this were real as he nodded and motioned for her to eat. The first thing she reached for happen to be a roll of bread and she took a small bite of it her eyes widening slightly as the taste filled her mouth. Smooth and soft, light and airy, she hadn't had food like this in such a long time and she forgotten how something as simple as fresh bread could taste so good.

She soon finished eating as he helped lead her to the bathroom.

"I can set up the water for you but as you know I can not be in there with you" he said slowly as she nodded as she saw the steam rise form the water. A hot bath for the first time in a long time would be so nice. He soon left as she got out of the torn and stained dress slowly dipping into the hot bath. She flinched slightly as it touched some cute and scrapes on her skin but soon the burning died down. She washed her body slowly and then her hair. She rested in the water a bit longer before a knock came at the door.

"My lady due to such short notice on your arrival you will have to borrow a night gown from May-rin but I think this time it may fit you… I shall leave it right by the door for you to get" She heard Sebastian's voice as she slowly got out of the water seeing it was now a murky color due to all the grime that laid on her body before the wonderful hot water. She saw the towel and slowly dried off as she then cracked the door to see Sebastian still there but his back to the door as the dress was on a small chair. She slowly took it and got dressed before walking out.

He looked at her and then found that her hair had at least regained its shine.

"Let me lead you to your room" He said slowly as she nodded and followed him

"The young lord had already retired himself for the night, If you would like I can prepare a cup of tea before you sleep if you like" the demon spoke as she nodded

"If it wouldn't be too much trouble." She said her voice was still a lot softer and shyer then he remembered but he knew it couldn't be helped with what she could have gone though. They slowly got to the room as she took in the lovely lace and silk covered room. She slowly made her way to the bed as Sebastian smiled already having the cup of tea in her hand.

"Chamomile, to help you sleep" he said slowly as she nodded a bit taking the delicate china in her hand and slowly taking a sip of the hot drink. She felt it move through her body warming it up again as she drank it. Not long after the butler was gone and she lay sleeping in the bed with the lights off but the curtains open letting in the now clearing sky show and moonlight peak into the windows. Her rest wasn't peaceful. She woke up in a cold sweat the breath caught in her throat as she then tried to catch her breath. She only knew of one person who would be up at this time of night.

"S-sebastian?" he voice was soft and cracked but only a few seconds there was a knock at the door.

"Lady Elizabeth may I come in?" She heard his voice.

"Yes" another soft whisper left her body. She was trembling as she could still feel the pain that seared from her dream those cold eyes peering at her. The butler was soon at her side as he saw her body shaking as he had seen this with Ciel; nightmares did terrible things to humans. He slowly moved to comfort her when he realized he shouldn't do so but before he could move away she clung to him. For the first time since the night of her parents' death she cried. She let it all out on the butler clutching onto him as his face softened once again his arms going around her. He remembered his chat with Ciel. He had said it was Lizzie's choice because it would be hypocritical of him to suggest otherwise, He knew if she didn't want to talk about her past that it meant something dark had occurred.

"My lady…. I wish to tell you what I am, and what I really am to the young lord" He said slowly as she slowly started to calm down and nodded though she didn't move from the butlers arms.

"I am a demon, I am a tool for him to use to gain his revenge on those who killed his parents and put him where I found him, he was just as broken then as you are now" He said slowly as she seemed to tense up at the information but it didn't last long as she looked up at him. Her eyes were swollen from the crying and also blood shot but she didn't care.

"… A contract with a demon means you will never know the joys of heaven, you will be forever bound to who you make the contract and they have your soul that is all they ask for." She slowly processed his words and then understood why he was saying this. He wanted to make a contract with her as well. The memory of the nightmare and her families death played back in her head as she closed her eyes and let her head fall to his chest.

"I understand what you are saying…. I wish to form a contract with you…" she said softly as he nodded a bit using his teeth to pull off the glove that laid on his left hand.

"Where do you wish to bare the mark of our contract" She looked at his now demonic glowing eyes. They seemed so cold yet at the same time so warm and inviting. She had no clue where one should be placed. She swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and then spoke

"It is your choice anywhere is fine" she said slowly. She saw a smirk make its way to the demon's face. He felt like his mark this time should be poetic and laid his hand on the spot in which her heart beat quickly underneath. She felt like her body was on fire at the touch she wanted to scream out in pain but let it get stuck in her throat as he then pulled away. A mark quite the same as the one on his hand lay a top of her breast as she panted from holding in the scream.

"My lady seems to have a high threshold for pain now I see" he said slowly making it sound more or less normal conversation rather than what it felt like to her. She knew know she was dancing with the devil but somehow that didn't seem to make her uneasy but rather she felt more in power of her own life. They were forever bound by chains of their contract. She looked at him as he looked at her as well.

"My lady you should rest, I am sure tomorrow will be busy, after all you will need your strength for your revenge" She nodded as she moved back under the covers.

"Stay till I fall asleep please…" she said softly. Something so simple and so childlike right after all this had happened and he couldn't say no.

"Of course My lady" he said as he then watched her slowly lull to sleep the moonlight being the only light in the room before he left quietly.
