"Doll of Phantomhive Manor"
CHAPTER 1
Doll arrived at Baron Kelvin's manor to see it totally engulfed in flames. She is stunned by what she sees. She can't believe what is happening.
"What is this? What the hell is this?" She says. Then, it occured to her. Joker was inside. Horrified, she rushes to the manor.
"JOKER! JOKER!" She yells out, hoping that he can hear her and make his way to the entrance. She begins to cough as smoke begins to fill up the air outside.
She then sees a dark shadow make it's way to the entrance.
It must be Joker, thank God, she thinks to herself. The shadowy figure exits, and to Doll's surprise, it's not Joker, but Sebastian, carrying Ciel.
"Black?! Smile?! What are you doing here? What happened?! Where's Joker?!"
"He passed away, I'm afraid." Sebastian said in a cold, nonchalant way. The way he said it unnerved Doll.
"What are you saying, Black?" Doll said with dread in her voice. She turns to Ciel and grabs his shoulders and shakes him. "SMILE, TALK TO ME!"
Ciel recoils at being touched.
"DON'T PRESUME TO TOUCH ME!" He snaps.
Doll is stunned by this. This isn't like Smile. She's wondering what the hell is going on,
"We've been investigating a series of child abductions, on Her Majesty's orders." Sebastian said.
"You really are with the Yard? You came to catch us?" Doll asked.
"No, not all. We came to erase you, in the name of Phantomhive, the Queen's guard dog." Sebastian replied.
Doll is shocked.
"The Queen's guard dog...Phantomhive...don't tell me...Smile? You're Phantomhive? Then it was all a lie? All of it?"
"That's right. My name is Ciel Phantomhive. I have just one job: to dispel the Queen's worries. So I killed them. Kelvin and Joker. I killed them both."
Doll is shocked by all this. The weight of this news causes her to fall to the ground. She begins to cry, and is suddenly fueled by total anger at the loss of her loved ones and Ciel's deception. Before all of this, she had fallen in love with the boy she called Smile. She even dreamt of marrying him when they were older, and them spending their days happily in the circus with Joker and the others. But now those dreams were shattered. She looks at Ciel, who stares back at her without emotion.
"You'll pay...You'll pay... YOU'LL PAY!" Doll says, tears streaming down her face. At that moment, a gust of wind blew the tuft of brown hair that covered part of her face, revealing a horrible scar around her permanently shut left eye. Even with it shut, tears flowed through it.
She pulls out a dagger, her hand trembling with the emotion of a heartbroken girl.
"You'll pay... you'll pay... you'll... you'll..." she drops the dagger and collapses to the ground once more and sobs. "DAMN YOU, CIEL! I LOVED YOU! I LOVED.." Doll's voice breaks and she continues to cry. Ciel decides he's had enough.
"Let's go, Sebastian. Let her be, but get her dagger so she won't do anything foolish with it like killing herself."
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian replied.
Sebastian walks calmly to Doll, picks up the dagger, and continues to walk.
As Sebastian and Ciel leave, Doll continues to weep loudly. Ciel frowns. He knows he can't just leave her there, and despite her faults, she was kind to him, even watching over him when he was sick. It was a debt that needed to be repaid. He doesn't know if she'll accept help from him now after all of this, but it will be negligent of him if he didn't offer it. He sighs.
"Sebastian, stop. Let me down."
Sebastian stops, but is hesitant in letting Ciel down.
"I think it would be best if we were on our way. We need to leave before this fire attracts any attention."
"We will, but we can't leave her there."
"Do you think that's wise, thinking about bringing her along? There's no telling what she would do, and I can't carry the both of you."
"Then, you can carry her. Let me down."
"Yes, my lord."
Sebastian lets Ciel down, and Ciel walks back toward Doll, still lying down on the ground crying.
"Doll..." Ciel says.
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! LET ME BE!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that. I'm not going to leave you here. I know you'll never forgive me for this, but please understand, Joker and Kelvin were not the men you thought them to be. If you saw what they did in there, you would have been appalled."
"What did they do in there?"
"Do you really want to know?"
Doll nods.
"Okay, then."
Ciel tells her in graphic detail what happened. Brainwashing and drugging the kidnapped children and making them perform deadly circus acts and using their body parts in constructing artifical limbs. Ciel could tell by her reaction that she wasn't aware of this.
Doll felt queasy after hearing the graphic details laid out bare before her. She felt guilty in participating in the kidnappings. She wishes she never participated in them.
"Dear God." She says.
"Now you understand why I had to do it."
"What do you plan to do with me?"
"Nothing. As far as I am concerned, the guilty ones have been dealt with. So, come home with me, and I'll set up a place for you to stay and work at my manor."
Doll shakes her head.
"Thank you, no. What I would really like to do is go back to the workhouse where I was from. I was happy there, and would like to be happy again."
"If that's what you wish, me and Sebastian will take you there."
"You will?"
Ciel nods. He reaches out his hand and helps Doll up. They walk up towards Sebastian.
"Shall we make our way back to the manor, my lord?" Sebastian asks.
"Not yet. We have one more stop to make first. We're going to take Doll back to the workhouse where she was from."
Sebastian bows.
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian replied.
