Prologue
It's October 31st and do you know what that means? You guessed it- Halloween is finally here! Lady Elizabeth Middleford bothered and begged her fiance – Earl Ciel Phantomhive – to throw a Halloween party at the Phantomhive Mansion days ago. The young earl said no thousands of times, but after reassurance from his butler – Sebastian Michaelis – he decided he would go through with it. Invitations were sent out to everyone, including Earl Alois Trancy. Everyone had to come in costume, or so Elizabeth declared.
The mansion was decorated oh so spookily. Fake spiders hung from the ceiling, the lights were either an eerie green or a bright orange, witch, ghost, and vampire cutouts were taped to the walls and stood up around the mansion. There was candy, Halloween treats, punch, and other refreshments. Elizabeth wanted Ciel to dress like a cat since cats were cute, and so was he. Two hours before the party, his butler started to dress him in his costume of choice. He was going to dress as a devil, and his butler would be a vampire.
Ciel's costume was a white blouse with ruffled sleeves, a crimson red vest, black booty shorts, black thigh high socks, and red heeled boots that went to his knees. The accessories were a red, devil horned headband and red devil tail. Sebastian's had a white dress shirt, plus a black vest with a gold, Victorian design on it. Then there was black slacks, black shoes, a crimson red cape, black gloves, and a tie that was also black. For an accessory, there was vampire fangs. They were fake, but it made the butler look like a real vampire.
"Ciel!"came a squeal from the door."You look so cute!"
And then there was Elizabeth with her servant, Paula. The two of them couldn't decide what to be, so they chose things for each other. The blond female had chosen her servant to dress as a bunny. A sexy bunny. Paula had decided the young lady to dress as an angel. The angel costume had went well with Ciel's devil one- which made the young earl regret choosing such an outfit. He let out a deep sigh, and walked over to his fiancee, Sebastian right behind him.
"You look lovely, Elizabeth."Ciel spoke up, trying to sound nice even though on the inside he wanted to switch into the cat costume that was in the back of his closet. Just so he didn't match with Elizabeth.
"It's Lizzay, Ciel! Lizzy!"
"Right right."
Elizabeth's outfit was a flowing, white dress, sleeves that showed her arms. A silver design was on the front and the sleeves, giving the dress a shiny look. On top of her head was a shiny, golden halo, and on her back were angel wings with fake feathers on them. Paula's was a black leotard with no straps, cleavage showing at the middle. Underneath were black pantyhose and black heels. On top of her head were black bunny ears, and around her neck was a white collar, a black tie hanging from it. To complete the outfit, there was a white bunny tail, and white cuffs. In due time there was going to be males that will hit on the fair lady.
"The mansion looks terrific."Elizabeth complimented, walking around the floors carefully so she wouldn't trip."Oh, and Sebastian, nice costume."
"I thank you for the compliment, Lady Elizabeth."the butler answered, bowing slightly.
As hours passed, the mansion soon got filled with people dressed as cats, dogs, zombies, clowns, witches, ghosts, monsters, and more. Everything was going fine.. Until a certain shinigami decided to show up. Grell Sutcliff walked through the door, dressed like a female vampire. Long black dress, crimson cape, red hair tied back... even heels. Sebastian's eyebrow twitched, wishing he could just up and leave the scene, but it was too late.
"Sebby!~"squealed Grell, running to his 'lover'."We match~"
"Sadly."he mumbled to himself, which made Ciel grin."Young Master, where is Earl Trancy? Wasn't he supposed to come?"
"He probably decided not to come."Ciel answered, sipping his punch.
"Shieru!"
The young earl swallowed hard, which made him cough harshly. Luckily, he butler pat his back, making sure the punch went down right. There was Alois Trancy by the door. He had a white shirt, purple vest, black booty shorts, purple heeled boots, and a purple witches hat. Claude Faustus – his butler – was dressed as a hooker. Alois got to decide his costume, and he choose that. The blonde boy walked over to the smaller earl, Claude right behind him.
"Am I late?"he asked, looking at the other with a grin.
"No, you aren't."Ciel answered."Although I thought you wouldn't be able to make it."
"Oh no. I wouldn't miss a Halloween Party."
"You wouldn't miss any party."the boy hissed."Sebastian, go get Earl Trancy some of the refreshments we have."
"Of course, my lord."
When the demonic vampire walked away, Grell didn't want to stay. He ran after the other like a puppy, which was annoying. Alois and Ciel talked amongst themselves about the party, and Elizabeth even tried to feed her fiance some sweets. Although, he refused. He said he could feed himself, and didn't need anyone to feed him. The boy sat on the steps, playing with a piece of Halloween cake. When his butler walked over, his attention went straight to him.
"You know, master,"Sebastian started."You shouldn't be sitting here by yourself. Perhaps you should go dance with Lady Elizabeth."
"I'm fine sitting here by myself, Sebastian."he spoke, looking away from the other male."Besides, Lizzy is talking with Earl Trancy. I'll interrupt them if I ask her to dance."
"Very well. Maybe she'll ask you-"
Right before the demon could finish his sentence, the power in the whole mansion went out...
