Ciel was still in shock, however, when he saw Isiah kneeling on the ground with that tormented look in his eyes he started to go back to reality.
His eyes were empty as he looked at him, he was not ready to speak, and tears were still falling from his eyes, Isiah was also acting weird not like himself.
Then the moment Isiah said to him:" You are my family now" He felt like something he desperately wanted happening but just not as he wanted.
He wanted it to happen when they are both smiling and having a great time.
Ciel didn't answer Isiah's words, he just fazed out and looked beyond him to see the bodies that were burning, when Isiah noticed that he broke the eye contact he reached out to his chin and moved his chin to make sure that he was looking at him.
" Did you …? " Ciel didn't even finish the question.
Isiah didn't answer that, Ciel tried to break eye contact to make sure that what he saw was real, this time Isiah didn't say a thing he just let him see the result of his anger and revenge.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCiel was so scared when he saw the bodies getting burned by the dark fire.
A kid needed to see such a scene but Isiah didn't try to hide what he did from him, somehow deep down he only wanted him to know what he has become so that he wouldn't expect much from him .
Isiah kept silent after that, he released Ciel and sat on the ground, he kind of knew what was happening, the hunger was back, he killed so many people already and as a result, he should be ready for the consequences.
Ciel was still looking at all the bodies around them very terrified, Isiah was so strong and he didn't hesitate even for a bit to kill everyone there just because he could.
To a kid like Ciel that was a lot, the look of all that blood, the smell of the burned meat and hair was too much .
He didn't run either, he just stayed there motionless waiting for time to pass .
After a while he just touched his face because the scratches started to hurt more, and everything started to hurt, it was only because of his fear that he didn't feel anything .
Isiah closed his eyes and stayed on the ground, he tried to hold his breath several times to remove the hunger however his body was the one responsible for that and there was nothing he could do to stop it .
Ciel was thinking about a lot of things, he finally was capable of processing what happened there.
He knew that Isiah saved him and that was all that mattered to him. He looked at Isiah afterward, his voice started to raise, and he was crying intensely as he finally started to move toward Isiah .
He walked a few steps with so much hesitation but with each step, he was getting more reasons for him to forgive the awful act that Isiah committed .
And when there was only one step separating them, Ciel threw his body towards Isiah and hugged him tightly with both of his hands while resting his head on Isiah's shoulder .
Ciel was hugging Isiah in a way that he never did to anyone else, at least not with his emotions and consent .
As he did that, Isiah was aching with all of that hunger, it felt terrible during that time, Ciel was still crying as he said:" You are my family too…Isiah…you are my family too"
When Isiah felt that warmth coming from Ciel's hug, he just put his arms around him and hugged him too, Isiah thought that he would never feel something like that in his whole life after Rosa died, Ciel was the exception to that .
His heart was aching and he felt like his body was acting the same way as the past triple full moons.

Isiah started to pat his golden hair after a while, his being there next to him gave him some time to not think about that constant hunger.
" Isiah…I will be good, please, don't leave me alone, I promise you, I will learn how to fight, next time, I am not going to be useless and pathetic " Ciel was gasping for air this time, Isiah knew that he wouldn't be able to handle his feelings if he saw his face crying so he kept hugging him while waiting for him be calmer.
"Ciel, stop, stop, no more words " Isiah replied to him while still patting his hair.
However, Ciel just shouted:" I am sorry, I am sorry because of me you killed your parents, I thought you didn't have ones, I thought they were dead already"
" Stop apologizing, they deserved it, I was going to kill them anyway," Isiah said with a calm voice trying to make him relax.
"Your parents ….your parents …are dead " Ciel was devastated by that.
Even when they harmed him, he was just thinking about Isiah's feelings towards his parents .
At that moment Isiah felt that Ciel was a part of him that he needs to protect as long as he is alive.
Isiah pushed Ciel gently at that moment while moving his head away to create some distance between them so he is ready to see his features.
His face was so red because of how much he cried, Isiah wiped the tears from his eyes, he even wiped the scratches and the traces of that slap gently so that he wouldn't hurt him then said:" From now on, there is only you and me, call me brother, I think that is going to be strange at the beginning but …I think after a while you are going to get used to it "
Ciel nodded his head right away while Isiah was still putting his hands on his face, he smile while looking at him with his glowing blue eyes then said:" Brother"
