Feeling a funny little flutter in her stomach at about Ciel talk about proposeing, Isabella tried to quell the uneasy feeling that had been growing inside her.
"You said that you do things for the Queen of England right? Well, my family does something of the same but....but....what we do is not always for the King and country, we Torquemadas are....." She hesitated,"....are very strong in their faith and...." Somehow she couldn't quiet get it out
What would he think of her if she told him? He would come to hate her? That thought stilled her tongue. Bella looked up at Ciel, miserable with this cruel twist of fate, she wanted to say it but...
Claude walked in, looking very displeased. "My apologies for interrupting but Lady Isabella, your servant Sammael wants to speak to you in private, he says it's an emergency."
Bella bit her lower lip. "Alright, I'm sorry Ciel, I'll be right back ." She got up from her chair and hurried towards the door, hoping against hope that it wasn't what she feared.

He noticed that she looked very concerned about something, and he had a feeling that there was something dark and twisted about her family. That was fine with him whatever it is, because he runs in the underground as well, doing all of the Queen's dirty work. He really doesn't do it in her name. He's just after who ever did those things to him, and he thinks that working for the Queen can get him to them faster.
"Please hurry back." He waited patiently in his chair for her.

Sammael's eyes widened at the girl who was wearing a revealing dress and.....her hair. "Lady Isabella, that dress."
"Never mind Sam, What is the message?"
Wisely the message had been sent written it down on a piece of paper so that there was no chance of the message being over heard, He gave her the piece of paper, Watching her read it while standing in the hall way holding onto a suitcase.
"To Lord Ferdinand Torquemada,
It has now been four days since sightings of the possessed where confirmed. We still have yet to hear of your success in vanquishing the demon in our midst.
From the time this message reaches you, you have 24 hours to exorcise it."
"....oh no." Bella reread the letter, The note was written by bishop here in England a holy man who was in close contact to some powerful member of the church, a secret society within the Vatican. A society that the Torquemada's where a part of as their demon hunters.
Isabella crumpled up the paper in her hands and hand it back to Sammel. "Make sure that get brunt, Do you have everything?" She asked.
Sammael nodded. "I do."
"Go up to my room and wait for me there, this is an order."
"Yes My Lady."
A moment later, Isabella returned to the dining table. Her dessert was already there waiting for her, it looked yummy.
"I'm sorry about that Ciel." She said sitting down.

Ciel smiled at her. "No it's no big deal at all. You had something to take care of, so it's understandable. You were about to tell me something about your family? I'm in the underground business as well, so I can honesty promise you that whatever it is that your family does it still won't change my mind about you. You gave my word as a Phantomhive."

Isabella looked down at her slice of cake. "My family? My family.....comes from a long line of Spanish inquisitors nearly four hundred years back. My ancestor burned over 2,000 people at the steak in his lifetime. And that's the only the ones history knows about....the actual number is much higher." She looked at him. "The Torquemada's are assassins, we kill people who threaten our country's welfare from inside and out."

"Assassinations you say? Well that's really interesting. And not going to hate you or your family because of that. I still have strong feelings for you, and I would still like you to talk to your parents about being here in England with me. I know that you make me smile again...I like that."

"Ciel...." Isabella stood up, her voice wavering. She couldn't keep doing this. Deceiving him like this. Turning her back on him, she walked to the nearest window and pushed it open. once it was wide open, the beautiful girl turned around. "Assassins are not only what we are...." She slowly pulled off the long black gloves from her arms. "....I am sorry, but I have Sinned against you and God. Forgive me Ciel Phantomhive, it's to save your pure soul that I do this."
Lady Isabella held out her hand palm up. the mark there glowing
"SAMMAEL! I Summon thee to my side!"
The servant appeared in the open window. Sammael stepped down. "I'm here."
"Quickly restrain Ciel Phantomhive so that I can exorcise the Demon from him." Bella said, She wasn't smiling at all.
"As you wish My Lady." Sammael launched himself towards the boy.

As Ciel was easily restrained by Sammael he was working things out in his head without saying a word. He quickly remembered that that the people from a church were involved with the invasion of young earl's homes, and even remembered that man that they had taken in for question. He had drawn two demons, a cross, and at him as well. Ciel quickly found out that the church wasn't after him. They were after Sebastian and Claude. Sebastian is most likely in the Shinigami Realm with Grell right now because of my written contract. He's safe from them for now. Hope Claude can put up a fight. Sebastian will be upset if he dies here.
He wasn't going to call Sebastian to his side this time because he didn't want him to fall into their trap. She was the one causing heartache to his Queen....The one he was told to stop. He couldn't though....because of love. Ciel smirked a bit. "My soul? It's far from pure at the moment..with or without the demons...My need him...for my revenge. I called him for a reason. I need to get back at them for what they did to me..." At that moment his eye patch fell off to reveal his contract mark. "Sebastian isn't in the manor right now. Claude belongs to Alois, not me."

"I am aware of that." Isabella picked up the glass of water that was on the table. She made a sign over it blessing it, "As a priest and holy sister of the church, I can Absolve you of your sins so when you die, your soul can go to heaven......As for your demon, Sebastian. The contract between you will be broken once I removed it's mark from your body." Bella dipped her fingers into the holy water and with it drew the sign of the cross on his forehead. The mark in Ciel's eye glowed brightly.
Sammael heard the sound of the doors being opened and there was that sound of metal whistling thought the air. He bolted out of the way still holding Ciel as silver knives thrown by Claude embedded into the floor where they stood.
"Damn it!" Isabella yelled and threw the cup of holy water in the demon's direction.
Claude avoided the blessed water and prepared to throw another knife. But Sammael instead let go of Ciel to engage the demon. "My Lady the ritual, Hurry!"

Ciel was still in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he was lied to, or the fact that this girl was the one behind his home getting attacked before, as well as the home of many others. He was still processing it in his mind so he didn't move an inch from his spot when he was let go by Claude. I need my revenge. I must have it. She understands that...right? Well if she thinks that my soul is worth protecting and pure....maybe I should just let her...
"Claude! I order you to leave at once! This isn't your fight because you're not my contracted demon. Go...do some of the chores inside the manor." He would see what she would do without anyone stopping her.

Both Claude and Sammael stopped their fight, freezing at the words in shock, What did he say?
Claude frowned, turning around to leave as ordered, but.....he wasn't Ciel's He didn't have to listen to the boy, His master was Alois Trancy, just as Sebastian's master is Ciel.
Claude paused, why is he disobeying a direct order? The impulse was still there to follow but something far stronger was giving him strength to resist. Claude turned back around and glared at Sammael but didn't move. "Young Master, Please give me the order to fight them, Miss Isabella is the one behind the attacks on the manor."
Sebastian was also bound to Ceil thought the contract mark, if anything should happen to Ciel then Sebastian might....he might....
Isabella stood looking at the mark in Ceil's eye,
Normal demon possession was easy to be rid off, but not easy as the possessed often lost their memories, but this was a contract for revenge. Ceil had admitted that he summoned Sebastian to create the contract. Removing it will also kill him in the process.
Bella had been prepared to do it. She believed that his soul would go to heaven once she absolved all of his sins
But things had changed, He was willing to do it, willing to throw out his chance at achieving his revenge.
"But Ciel.....You'll die." She didn't stop the tears this time.
((Sorry I completely changed it at the last minute I didn't like the last one.))

Ciel shook his head no. "I'm not giving you the orders to fight him. Yes my revenge is important to me, and I know how bad Sebastian wants my soul but....he can't be free to be with you if he's tied down to me. I had forgotten what it meant to be happy and to smile, and laugh. I forgot how to love. I was reminded of that when Lady Isabella came into the picture. My revenge might die from this, but I would be gaining something far greater. Claude what are you willing to do for love? This is my fight, and this is my choice. My soul is tainted with feelings of love, so it might not be worth as much as Sebastian saw and thought at first. I noticed that when I was laughing with her, finally happy for a change, I saw him smile. I know that Sebastian wants me to be happy. There are tons of other souls that he can have, but he wants you more then anything Claude....so do the right thing and follow my orders."
He then looked at Isabella. "Go on and do it. I trust you enough to not kill me. The Phantomhive's are known for their strong hearts."
~~~~~~~
While Sebastian was being literally raped by Grell he felt a sudden pull on his contract symbol on his hand. It started to glow. Sebastian raised it up to look at it and saw that it was starting to fade. "He's trying to get free..." Grell looked at him curiously, wondering what got his attention. "What's wrong Sebby?" Sebastian looked at him and simply smiled. "Ciel needs me. Can I go? Please?" Grell thought about it. Grell knew that this was only going to be a one time thing, but he couldn't beat what he had with Claude, or with Ciel. He sighed before he got off him and got dressed again. "Go on sexy demon. I'll see you later Dahling." Sebastian bowed before quickly getting dressed, and made his way back to the Phantomhive Estate.

Claude looked like he was about to say something. Sammael had been listening carefully and watching the demon's face the whole time Ciel had been talking.
The spider demon looked torn, in between wanting to protect what was Sebastian's and following the boy's orders. Also, what he said did ring true about his lover not being totally free. What could he do?
"Mr Claude, may I have a private word with you?" Sammael asked. He too had something to say but it was for demon ears only. He turned around to Ciel. "When Mr. Sebastian arrives can you please tell him to look for us? What I say to them may solve this dilemma, Lady Iasbella, please don't do anything until I've spoken to them.
The girl was only half listening, trying to process in her mind what Ciel was saying. "Uh, what?"
Sammeal smirked. "Don't do anything rash My Lady...how about you finish off your dessert while you wait? Mr.Claude, can you help me clean this mess up? Mr.Claude?"
Claude seemed to shake himself out of a daze. "Yes."
Together the dinning room was all put back to order except for the spilled holy water which they avoided.

Ciel got himself off the floor and dusted himself off. "Yes I will tell Sebastian to look for you." Ciel then took a napkin and began cleaning up the holy water himself, seeing as the demons couldn't touch it. When he was finished he turned to see that Sebastian was standing right next to him. The demon showed him the fading contract with a smile on his face. "What would you do without me Bochan? Always getting yourself into trouble." The two shared looks before Ciel opened his mouth to talk. "Sammael and Claude wish to speak to you. Go find them." Sebastian bowed. "Yes my Lord." He then got up and found the two of them.
"You two wished to see me?"

After Sebastian had left, Isabella dipped her handkerchief in clean non blessed water and pressed it to Ciel's forehead, wiping the blessing away. While she had a didn't know what Sammael was going to tell them, for a moment she allowed herself to hope that something, anything could be done.
--
Claude and Sammael where standing in the music room, the one with the large bay windows and the piano. The demon with the white bangs nodded. "There had been soon developments that wold be important for you to know. Mr Claude?"
Claude nodded, and started to tell Sebastian about what had happened that day, from the romantic lunch he set up for Ciel and Isabella to the events that had happened at dinner. "Ciel Phantomhive and Isabella Torquemada are falling in love with each other. But, as it turns out the Lady is a demon hunter sent by the church, it was her group that attacked the manor the day I came."
Sammael explianed."The ritual that would have freed you from him would have killed Lord Phantomhive, she is hesitant on doing it even knowing that he could be sent to heaven when the ritual is complete, Her heart faltered at the final step."
