A TAIL OF FEAR AND LOVE
Pandora hearts –GILBERT AND OZ Warning- OzBert (in part2) No likey No read- I'm not a professional just an Amateur : D ENJOY!
"Come on Gil, we're already late" insisted Oz as opened the front door and skipped down the stone steps that led to the waiting carriage. The clad black Raven slipped through the door and tilted his hat to block the sun from his eyes."We have plenty of time" he said as he closed the door behind him and descended down the stairs.
Oz sighed, "I haven't seen Ada in ages and since Sharon has taken Alice dress shopping it's the perfect opportunity to catch up "the blonde jumped into the carriage making his servant smile as he followed him into the box, closing the door as the carriage began to move.
Thirty minutes later, the duo arrived at Lutwidge Academy- a school where only those of high class can enrol. However visiting hours are strict along with security (those outside the school grounds must have a letter of entrance and proof of identification to access the building) as the carriage came to a halt Oz was already at the school entrance, leaving his servant to pay of the driver.
"I'm here to see Ada, Ada Vessailius" requested the excite blonde as he smiled at the Receptionist who took the letter.
"Okay... do you have proof of identification?"
Oz smiled as he rummaged through his pockets for his wallet, but he couldn't find it. 'Oh no I left it at the manor', thought Oz. He looked up at the women behind the desk; she seemed to be getting impatient. Feeling embarrassed Oz decided to leave when suddenly Gilbert emerged.
"Its okay, he's with me" said the Raven as he pulled Oz closer to him whilst smiling at the women before him- who suddenly became flustered.
"O... Duke Nightray... I...I do apologize, I wasn't aware that he..." Oz rolled his eyes at his valet's change of behaviour as the Receptionist stood up and walked to the door, opening it to let the gentlemen through."Please go right through" she gestured swiftly with her hand, while smiling at the tall man before her. Gil smiled as a sign of thanks and the women blushed as she closed the door behind them.
The school was empty as there was no sign of pupils or members of staff. Oz walked alongside his valet, making no eye contact "How come she let you through?" said the annoyed blonde.
Gil seemed surprised by the question "I've come here many times to see Miss Ada, practically every week" Oz suddenly felt embarrassed, 'Off course Gil would visit Ada he was considerate and that's what Oz liked about him (upon many other things). Oz followed the man through the building (since he had no idea where he was going until they stopped as they had reached a set of doors that led to 'the Library'. Gil opened one of the doors and let his master through first before continuing.
"And besides" The raven stopped and he stooped down to Oz's level. Meeting his emerald eyes "Being with Miss Ada... made me feel closer to you" he smiled. Causing Oz to blush and desperately wishing to hide his face. But then as though the man could read his mind, a black hat was placed onto the boys crown as the long rim shielded his reddening cheeks. The two then exchanged smiles when suddenly a voice appeared.
"Brother?" the voice sounded like it was coming form above. Oz looked up to see his sister standing on a ladder in her plain, white uniform, cradling a pile of books in her arms. "Brother, you came!" screeched the excited girl as she made her way down the ancient looking device. Oz noticed the ladder shake vigorously from under her.
"ADA, BE CAREFUL!" Warned Oz. But it was pointless. She had lost her footing and slipped losing her grip. Ada's arms hastily waved in the air, desperate to grab hold of something that would stop her from colliding with the hard, marble floor. She winced and closed her eyes for she was expecting to feel extreme pain... But instead she felt something curl around her back and thighs.
Her vision was blurry but through regaining her senses she could hear the distant voice of her brother calling her... "Adaaa!" screamed Oz "Are you okay?
Her vision returned and she could see the face of her concerned brother beside her. Then after realising that she was floating inches away from the ground her eyes were met by a pair of golden hues looking down at her. She blushed at the closeness and smiled as Gilbert held her in his arms. Oz looked at his blushing servant holding his sister. He was astounded at how quick his servant reacted and how strong he was. However the image of the two seemed to annoy him to an extent of shouting at his valet. "GIL LET GO OF HER!" commanded the jealous blonde.
The sudden awakening surprised Gil as he instantly let go of the young women, dropping her.
"OUCH!" expressed Ada, as she met the floor with a slight thump!
"Ada! Are you alright" said the concerned brother as he knelt down to his sister.
"Yeah, I'm fine" giggled the girl as she grabbed her brother's hand and was lifted from the floor.
Suddenly the Librarian came running and asked what the noise was about. But Oz excused her and she left, looking seemingly annoyed. Then Oz turned to his valet "What were you thinking, you could have hurt her" said the spiteful blonde.
"But brother I'm fine Gilb..." but Ada was cut off.
"Would you rather I just let her fall?"
Oz laughed sarcastically "Who do you think you are... you think that just because your a Noble that you can start falling for my sister"
"Brother!"
"What's your problem?"
Oz was stunned, he had never seen this side of Gilbert before and began to feel pissed of at the sight of him. He grabbed Ada's arm "Lets go Ada whilst we still have time" Oz refused to make eye contact with the man as he left the library with his obedient sister, Leaving Gilbert to clear up the books that had fallen. He picked up one and read the front, 'Spells for Beginners, why would she want this' Thought the Raven.
Meanwhile Oz and Ada were in the music room. Ada sat in front of the grand piano alongside Oz, "so... how are you?" asked Oz, desperately wishing to start a conversation. But Ada just kept silent, starring at the piano keys.
"Ada" started Oz but he was interrupted.
"Why were you fighting?" she said, refusing to look at her brother.
Oz couldn't answer. Seeing the two most important people he cared about. Together in THAT way, must have triggered something. 'was it jealousy'
"You two never fight... ever" It was at this point that Ada finally looked up at her brother with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Oz felt serge of pain in his chest at the sight of his sister. It's true. When they were little he and Gil had never argued or had a fight. They never had time as Oz was too busy teasing Gil. But Ada would sometimes get hurt and Oz would have to cheer her up, when she felt lonely or protect her when she was feeling scared. But now Oz was the one who was making her cry. Seeing her like this had him come to a sudden realization.
"Being with her, made me feel closer to you"- thinking about what Gil said caused Oz to laugh.
"Ha... I've been so stupid" said Oz as he sat in silence.
A confused sister asked "Brother... Are you alright?" suddenly Oz looked at her, smiling. He pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped away his sister's tears.
"Come on Ada... Lets go and find Gil" Oz smiled causing his sister to smile in return as the two went to find Raven.

After cleaning all the books, Gil settled himself on a coach with 'The Book of Spells' beside him. He rummaged through his coat pocket for his cigarettes and when he was about the light it, he spotted a 'No Smoking Sign' and sighed. He stood to retreat outside but realised that it was raining causing him to put the cigarettes back in his pocket. Seeing as there was nothing better to do. He sat down and began reading the book of spells. Flipping through the contents, Gil recognised a passage about 'Teleporting Chains'- Gil already knew about teleporting chains (As he was contracted to one) but everything else was about Voodoos and Curses, until something caught his eye. As he began reading a small shadow emerged from under his feet.

Oz and Ada were making their way to the Library. "So... How are Elliot and Leo?" Asked Oz, believing it was a good time to ask.
"Well... I haven't seen them... as Elliot's mother is very sick" stated Ada, suddenly feeling a bit guilty about revealing something so personal.
Oz decided to change the subject "so ... where are all the students?" realising the corridors seemed rather empty -noting the absence of the pupils as the two descended to the ground floor.
"O... their still here, well some of them, today nobody has any lessons so some pupils like to leave school and visit their families for the day, whilst others spend the afternoon catching up on sleep" smiled Ada.
They made it to the front entrance to the library. Oz was a little nervous about confronting Gilbert. He took a deep breath and opened the door and instantly took a step back as the Librarian ran out, screaming. Oz and Ada looked at one another then back into the Library from which the women escaped. Both were blinded by a beam of bright purple light that reached the ceiling, rays of light stretched throughout the room until it gradually faded from where it was most bright; behind a tall book case. Then suddenly Dinah appeared through the door and purred at Ada's feet "Dinah... what are you doing out of my room?" questioned Ada.
"Over there" shouted Oz ignoring the animal as he ran to the source of the light only feeling concern about the whereabouts of his best friend. "GIL!" screamed Oz "WHERE ARE YOU?"
"Mas... ter" said a distant voice
Oz turned to see the back panel of a couch with a gloved hand hanging over the arm rest. "Gil" said Oz feeling relieved as he looked over the coach, hoping to see his beloved servant.
It was when Ada arrived did she witness her brother fall to the ground, wide eyed and in a state of shock at the person lying on the coach. Ada responded with the same shocked expression as both starred at what used to be their friend.
The figure sat up "Master... what's wrong?" Gil looked across at the two. "Miss Ada... Are you alright?"
"Gil... Is that you?" stuttered Oz as he slowly approached his friend looking seemingly calm.
"Off course its me... but ... Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Gil" continued Oz "you're... you're a..."
"A CAT!" finished Ada.
