Author's Note: Hello! FYI this thing includes spoilers. This is my first fanfic - ever - but not my first piece of writing, so hopefully it'll be ok! Feel free to point out any errors, incontinuities, mistakes, sentences that don't make sense, and the like. Just so you all know, this is based off the Anime as I have only read #1 and #2 of the manga.
I chose to a "Ciel x Doll" (My apologies, I am not very familiar with fan fiction slang yet) because I really liked Doll and cried when it was implied that she died. This is mostly me taking her "Death" and making it into a... A "live"? The actual Ciel x Doll thing is probably not going to be very pronounced, but hey.
(I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put links... But I can't find a rule against it sooo...)
This little 4 minute clip starts with Doll arriving at the burning manor and ends just about where I start, if you need a refresher: watch?v=wRdzH_yZDUA
-~Ciel~-
"You'll pay, Smile!" She screamed as she ran at them with her knife drawn.
Her bangs blew out of her eyes and for the first time, Ciel saw her other eye. Ciel buried his face in his butler's coat, "Sebastian..."
"Yes, my Lord."
Ciel felt his butler move and heard the clang of Doll's knife hitting the ground. He felt a tear roll down his cheek, but why? She was just another pawn.
Wait, what was this he heard? A girl crying!
Raising his head, Ciel looked around. Sebastian had a firm grip on Doll's wrist while she sagged, sobbing. Why wasn't she dead?!
"My lord, what would you like me to do with her?" His butler smirked. What a know-it-all.
"Why haven't you killed her?!"
"My lord, I though you may have formed an attachment to her. Do you wish for her to die? Think hard, that which is lost cannot be regained, as you say so often."
"Sebastian..." Ciel said with a note of warning in his voice.
Sebastian tightened his grip on the sobbing Doll's wrist in response and she made a pathetic sound of pain. Ciel watched her for a moment. Could he do it? This girl who had befriended him, shared with him, helped him... and lied to him, tried to hurt him, and kidnapped children?
She looked up at him. No. He couldn't.
"Sebastian, help her up. How dare you treat a lady like that?!" Ha, the irony.
Ciel guessed she could be considered nobility; she did refer to Lord Kelvin as "father" so perhaps... Oh, where was he going with this?
Sebastian relinquished his hold on Doll's wrist, and Doll immediately dove for the knife. That lying !
Sebastian was too quick for her, however. In an instant he had set Ciel down, grabbed the knife himself, and pinned Doll's arms behind her back.
"Young master," Sebastian said, "I do not think she is safe."
Doll struggled against Sebastian's iron grip.
"Nonsense. She is merely grieving. I did the same thing, except I had you on my side then," Ciel paused, how could he get Doll to calm down?
"Smile... Why? Why did you kill Joker... Where are the others?" Doll looked at him pleasingly.
Damn. The others. "The others were sent to my mansion... Unfortunately I had hired some private security for the time I was at the circus," Ciel lied quickly, "I fear that they may have killed the others. And while my orders were to 'erase' you, I can't bear the thought of more people, more friends, dying. And now that Kelvin is dead, the kidnappings can all stop! No one else has to die. Now please, we need to hurry!"
"No!" Doll cried, "Why should I trust you?! You killed Joker!"
Sebastian, still pinning her arms, let go with on hand to rest it on her shoulder, "Miss Doll, I apologize. It was I who killed Joker."
Doll looked revolted and tried to pull away, to no avail.
"It was an accident," Sebastian continued soothingly, "I only meant to stop him, but I... I made a mistake."
Good thinking, Sebastian, shift the blame to yourself.
"Please, Doll," Ciel begged, "Come with me. As it is, we may be too late, but I want to help you!"
Doll stiffened, she clenched her eye shut, which was still producing tears. After a moment she relaxed, "Yes. I will come with you."
Good. "Sebastian, can you carry both of us and get us home quickly?" Ciel inquired.
"Yes, my lord. But do you think that's wise-"
"Sebastian, don't be a fool. She has already seen my contract symbol and your eyes and power. Just get us home!"
"Yes, my lord."
Sebastian scooped up Doll with one arm and Ciel with the other. It was a bit awkward but it worked.
Was this wise? She had tried to kill him and now he was taking her home. He also had to tell the servants about the lie he told before they said something that would ruin this fragile peace. Ciel cursed the fact that Sebastian had carried him here; this would be so much easier if they had a carriage!
"Sebastian," Ciel whispered in his butler's ear as he ran, "Peux-tu parle avec les domestiques, et dire que ils sont obligé de mensonge. Dire que il y a des mercenaires qui a tua la famille de Doll, et que les mercenaires ont partent après cela. Nous ne pouvons pas permettre Doll à savoir que c'est les domestiques qui a tua sa famille." *
-~Doll~-
Doll's world had just collapsed around her. Kelvin was dead... Joker was dead... The others were likely dead... Smile was Ciel... Black was a monster, a monster who had carried her and Ciel to the lavish mansion which was where her friends had met their fate.
Upon arrival they quickly discovered blood splatters all over the steps and a huge, blood coated hole in the wall.
Doll felt her knees go weak. Her friends... Her family Sebastian sprinted inside as soon as he had set them down and tied an eyepatch on Ciel's eye. What was he?
Looking at the blood again made her want to puke and she felt light headed. Suddenly, there was a hand in front of her. It was Ciel's. He... He wanted her to hold his hand?
"Master!" Came a voice from the doorway. A small, blond haired boy had appeared, along with a taller man and a maid.
Ciel dropped his hand, "Hello Finny. Mey-Rin. Bard. This is Lady Doll. She will be staying with us."
"Hello!" said the three.
"What is all this blood from?" Ciel demanded; although Doll knew that he knew exactly what it was.
"Oh my! I'm so sorry master! Oh please don't fire us!" The maid, Mey-Rin, said.
"Young Master!" Sebastian was back. The sight of him made Doll's skin crawl, "I can't find the mercenaries anywhere!"
"They took off after a huge fuss in the middle of the night," Bard informed the group from around his cigarette.
A huge fuss? A huge fuss?! That's all they say about the murder of my family?! Doll didn't want to hear any more of this!
"Smi- Ciel! I need some rest. Can we talk about this later?" Erm, how did a noblewoman talk?
"Certainly. Mey-Rin, fetch a night gown for her." Ciel took her hand this time and led her around the pools of her family's blood and into the house.
The inside was almost worse than the outside; there were huge, broken statues everywhere and bullet holes... And throwing knives... Dagger... Doll looked at the floor and let Ciel lead her to a room. Mey-Rin helped her change into the elaborate nightie and wished her goodnight as she blew out the lights.
Doll curled up on her bed and felt alone... Again
After Note: Hope you enjoyed the first chapter. I shall endeavor to write as much as I can. Sorry about the french,, but we know that Ciel can speak it, and he wouldn't want Doll overhearing his secret plan... Here's the translation:
*"Can you talk with the servants, and say that they have to lie. Say that there were mercenaries that killed Doll's family, and that the mercenaries left after that. We can't allow Doll to know that it was the servants that killed her family."
