NORMAL POV

/Prolouge/

Six months earlier...

The golden lights on the chandelier twinkled, setting the ballroom aglow as the guests swayed across the floor in a smooth motion. Red, Green, Blue, Pink, every color ballgowns with ribbons and frills bounced around women's heels, their merry laughs filling the large hall.
It was quite the special ball, held in celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday. Needless to say, hundreds were invited, including the mysterious Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his butler, Sebastian Michaelis. "Please do act, at the very least, like you are enjoying yourself, Young Master." The dark-haired man murmured to him just to receive a glare.
"Oooh, Ciel! You look so cute in those clothes!" A voice that was all too familiar called out from behind them.
A blonde-haired green-eyed girl who was several inches taller than the young Earl embraced him roughly and giggled. "Oh isn't the ball just marvelous, Ciel! Its totally cuuuute!" She grasped his hands and He forced out a mutter in agreement. Elizabeth, dressed in a bright pink and white gown with ruffled sleeves, was the Earl's fianc e, and quite frankly she drove him crazy.
"Oh, Ciel, I haven't introduced you to Pluie!" She grinned, and ran off into the crowd of guests.
"What is she talking about?" The Earl spat out.
"Pluie is the French term for rain, and quite uncommonly a name.." Sebastian replied, raising his eyebrows into the crowd. Moments later, the blonde returned with another girl in hand.
Her hair was jet black, with a thick layer of bangs that half covered her eyes, which were a pretty blue. She had very fair skin, was an inch or so shorter than Ciel, and was wearing a black and grey gown.
"This is Pluie, she's from France! She just arrived here last week, and she's living at our house now!" Elizabeth smiled and explained.
"Pluie, this is Ciel, he's my fianc e! Do you know what that means? Were gunna get married someday!" Ciel grumbled to himself, wanting to tell Elizabeth that of course she knew what that meant, it was a French word. To Ciel, the girl was quite odd. She didn't speak a word, didn't smile, and stared dully at the ground.
"Well? This is a dance, isn't it?" The blonde girl exclaimed and took Ciel by the hand, waltzing him away. To Pluie's surprise, a butler took her hand in his and danced her across the floor.
"E-Excuse me.." She mumbled, obviously embarrassed to be dancing with a complete stranger who was so much taller than herself.
"Think nothing of it, My lady, tis an honor to dance with you." Sebastian smiled, and Pluie was suddenly aware of his hand on her waist.
"Lady Elizabeth said you were from France, but I must say you certainly don't sound the part!" He laughed, and a slight blush appeared on Pluies face. Suddenly she was spun and tossed a few feet away into the hands of the blue-haired Ciel Phantomhive, as Elizabeth danced merrily with Sebastian. "You seem to be enjoying this ball just as much as I am." Commented Ciel, noting the sour expressions spread across both their faces as they quickly waltzed across the floor. "At the end of the day, frilly gowns and laughing is absolutely a bother." She replied quietly, so much so he had to strain to hear her. "I couldn't agree more." The Earl and Lady exchanged a disgusted look with each other and continued dancing, until the music had ended and the ball had come to a close.
"Nice dancing with you, my lady." Sebastian bowed politely as Pluie and Elizabeth made their way to the carriage just outside the ballroom.
Pluie and Ciel exchanged another cold glance before she took her seat inside the large carriage.
"Not the sharpest tool in the shed." Ciel stated was the carriage waddles past them.
"Pluie?" Sebastian asked in a surprised way at his master.
"No, Elizabeth. Pluie is..." His butler waited for a response but never received one.

That was the night of the kidnapping.
