Full Summery: "Elizabeth, after Christmas, how would you like to pick a date for our wedding." he asked in a serious voice before taking a sip of his own tea.

I was a little shocked to speak so I just sat there staging at him as if he grew two heads. 'I have the flu, I just know it. There is no way that Ciel just asked that. It has to be a delusion from the flu.' I thought to myself. Watch as a bad snow storm causes Lizzy to become sick and Ciel needing to care for his soon to be wife over the holidays.

A/N: I have redone this first chapter and have decided to continue this story. It will not be super long but I hope you will all enjoy it just the same.

Elizabeth's Pov.

You know when you get sick and you feel so bad you just want to die? For example, your nose gets runny and red from blowing it all day; your eyes are all watery and scratchy. Let me just start out by saying, I would rather pick death then feel like that. Unfortunately though fate likes to kick me while I'm down, so I am sick at this very moment.. It's not even really my fault that I'm sick right now. It is that stupid snow storm I had to endure that got me sick. The storm did it on purpose too, just so I wouldn't be able to spend time with Ciel.

I bet you are wondering who I am and who this Ciel person is right? Well, My name is Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford, but I prefer to be called Lizzy if you please. Ciel Phantomhive is the young leader and owner of his late father's toy company, and he is also my fiancé! We are to be married after I turns sixteen years of age. Ha-ha I bet right now you are thinking that is way too young to get married. I can assure you that it is perfectly fine and normal in this day and age. It's only the year 1898. It's December 22, 1898 in London, England to be exact. But our story doesn't start on this date. We will actually be going back two days before I got sick. And that is where our story begins.

The date was December 20, 1898. I was sitting in my room waiting for Paula, my lady in waiting, to come and help me get dressed. Paula is a nice lady and all but she is always slow in everything she does. It can become quite annoying really. Like now, I want to hurry and get my dress on so I can go to Ciel's house. Mama said I could spend My Christmas with Ciel at his house this year. Ciel really isn't the 'spend quality time on Christmas' kind of type, but still. I want to see him smile and I can't do that if I'm not dressed to leave! "Paula, I need your help getting dressed, hurry up please!" I yelled. Paula scurried into the room with my navy blue winter dress in hand. 'Finally' I thought to myself.

Standing up from my bed, I walked towards my bay view window to look out upon my property. There on the ground was a beautiful thick blanket of snow. I walked back over to Paula so she could help me in my dress. "Do you think the snow will affect our travels today?" I asked the young women. " I am not sure my lady" Paula said honestly, "I hope not! The people in town were saying that a big snow storm is on the way, so I think as soon as you are finished with breakfast we should get going to the young lords home."

I sighed and turned back to look out the window." I suppose you're right." I said.

As soon as I was done with my breakfast, I went to gather the things I would be needing at Ceils house. It's wonderful staying with my fiancé, but his house is not feminine ready. So I ran into my bathroom and grabbed the things I thought I might need. Then I ran into my room and gathered my night gown, two Christmas dressed ,and my winter coat. Once I was packed and ready to go I called my butler, James, to take my things to the carriage where Mary was preparing the horses you go.

" Hm, I best say goodbye to mother befor I depart." I said to myself. I slowly made my way to the library where my mother would usually be this time of day, just to be greeted by a note in her hand that was left on her desk. It read:

"Dear Elizabeth,

I hope you have a wonderful time with Ciel over the your holiday.

Your father and I are sorry to inform you, but something has come up

and we will not be able to make it to the phantom estate by Christmas.

We hope you can forgive us darling. We wish you and Ciel a wonderful Christmas.

Love always and happy Christmas,

Mother

Ps. Your father said to remind you that just because Ciel is your fiancé doesn't mean you are already married, so remember to be a lady and protect your virtue.

"I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up." I muttered to myself disappointedly. Shaking my head, I walked back to the front entrance to grab my winter cloak off the coat stand. I draped the cloak around my shoulders, tied it's fine stings, then headed for the door.

Once I was outside, I was overcome by the beauty of the now winter wonderland. There was about a foot of snow covering every inch of the land. From the tops of the trees to as far as the eye could see, blinding white snow could be seen. I looked up at the sky and was worried by what I saw. Yes it looked amazing outside right now, but the sky looked like it was about to do something so evil that you would have to be out of your right mine to stay outside.

My thoughts were interrupted my Paula calling me. I wasn't close enough to hear what she was saying but I think it she said something along the lines of we better hurry. It was when I started walking to the carriage, that I noticed the small flurries falling down on my black winter cloak. Seeing the snow was already coming down I rushed to the carriage and got inside before I chilled myself to much. Once I was inside I heard Paula get settled in front of the carriage so she could control the horses.

Settling down in the warm carriage, I took out my book that I've been reading recently called Little women. I got about three chapters into it until I felt the carriage suddenly jerk on the road and tilt slightly. This caused me to worry, so I opened the little window that allowed me to talk to Paula as she kept the horses in order. Unfortunately, while I was at easy in my nice warm carriage, I failed to notice poor Paula was driving us through a blizzard!

" Paula!" I called out hopping she could hear me over the howling wind. "Yes my lady!? Is everything alright back there!?" she yelled back to me. " I am fine, but are you alright? I just felt the carriage tilt and got worried." I replied back. "Oh don't worry my lady, I'll be fine! It's just that the horses are having a very difficult time pulling the carriage through the snow storm!" she called over the wind.

The snow was coming down so hard it made it nearly impossible to see at all. The wind was like an angry bird screeching so loud that you'd think your ears would bleed. It's defiantly was not safe right now to continue out travels to the Phantom Estate. Just as I was about to tell Paula, who looked to be struggling to see the road just as much as me, that maybe we should stop until the storm was over, we hit what seemed to be a tree that had fallen over in the storm.

The moment we hit that fallen tree was when all our problems started. When we hit the tree it caused our carriage to tip over and crash to the icy snow covered ground. With me still being inside, it wasn't all that fun. " Lady Elizabeth, are you okay!?" Paula screamed.

I hit my head pretty hard when we crashed witched caused me to become quite dizzy, but I was okay other then my head hurting along with the dizziness. " I'm okay. Just help me out of here." I called out hoping she could hear me over the screaming wind. I tried to open the door to get out but it was to dark and the snow was coming down so fast that the door was to heavy to push open. "Paula, I can't get the door open!" I said with panick in my voice. " I know my lady, I am trying to get the snow off the door as fast as I can. Just give me a second my lady!" she said just loud enough for me to hear.

I was trying to keep calm as best as I could while Paula pushed off as much snow as she could to get me out. It was about ten minutes later until she finally was able to pry the door open.

Sighing in relief I thanked Paula as she helped me climb out of the carriage. Once I was out, Paula reached back in the damaged carriage and grabbed my luggage out of it as well.

Paula went to untie the horses from the now destroyed carriage, so they wouldn't get stuck on something of hurt. "What do we do now?" I asked in hopeless voice. 'please don't say we have to walk' I thought to myself. " Well we are going to have to walk until we find someone to help us or just keep walking until we get to the estate I guess, The Estate is about five miles away from here." she said in a chipper voice that made me want to scream. "how is she so happy at a time like this" I mumbled under my breath.

"Come along my lady. We must hurry." Paula said as she picked up our luggage. After wrapping my clock tightly around me, I followed after Paula.

After walking for an hour I felt just awful and angry. I was so cold that I feel as if my bones would break into a thousand little pieces if something hit me. Did I forget to mention that I fell into a slush puddle about thirty minutes ago and I am now wet andfreezing! I felt as if stomach kept getting stabbed by sharp knives every time I realized just how hungry I was. Let me say it again for you, I am cold, wet, hungry, and my feet hurt so bad that I'm sure I won't be able to walk tomorrow. To top everything off, The storm had not let up one bit. If anything, I'd say it got worse. The snow was now mixing with freezing rain, the wind was blowing really hard, and the sun had gone down hours ago so everything was dark. I think it's safe to say that I am really mad and cranky at this point.

Then there was Paula. I don't know how she does it, really I don't. she has not complained once the entire time we have been walking. She's just all chipper and happy talking to me as if we were not traveling through a horrible snow storm. If I wasn't such a lady I would have told her to shut it and that she was making me sick with how calm she was being.

All I wanted was go to my fiancés home for the holiday, that's all! But no, our carriage just had to crash, causing us to have to walk. I bet your wondering what happened to the horses, right? Well, Paula couldn't keep hold of them while we were walking so they ran way. Right now I am at the point where I don't care what happens. All I wanted to do is get to the nice warm estate.

"Paula how-how much longer?" I stuttered from the cold. " I'm not sure my lady, she said, but I-I think I see a light in the far distance!" I looked to where she was pointing and I saw it. It was faint but it was defiantly there. What the light was coming from I didn't know and I didn't care, all I knew was I was going where ever that light was. We started to walk faster and faster, well that's what it seemed like at first, but then I realized the light was coming towards us. "Paula stop!." I called over the wind and falling snow. We stood there and waited a moment to make sure the light was indeed coming toward us. I was too! I was excided but at that moment I was just felt to sick and cold to show it.

As the light came closer I finally could make out was coming toward us. It was Ciel's personal butler Sebastian! I had never in my life been happier to see that man. 'Thank you god!' I thought with relief. " Sebastian over here!" I yelled as loud as I could. Paula and I started waving our arms around so he might stop up. Fortunately for us he did see us.

Sebastian pulled up in front of us in a big black sleigh being pulled by some of ceils horse and our horses! " I found your horses wandering around the young lords estate about twenty minuets ago so I just assumed something had happened on your travels to the manner." he said loudly over the wind. "You have no idea" I said to myself. Paula and I quickly hopped in the sleigh, happy to relive out poor feet from walking. Sebastian then turned us around to head back to the Phantomhive Estate.

It took about fifteen minuts to get back to the Estate. Even with the storm still going on around us, I didn't care one bit. I was to tired and reliever when I spotted the manner in the distance to care.

When we reached the house I was just about to pass out from exhaustion. Sebastian finally pulled the sleigh into the barn. Upon arriving, Ciel's servants quietly took care of the horses as Sebastian picked me up and Paula grabbed out luggage. As we made out way to the house my eyes were beginning to close. Even with my eyes closed thought, I was fully aware of the voices around me and the person who was carrying me inside the warm, beautiful and safe manner.

" Sebastian, what happened?" Ciel asked Sebastian who was carrying me. " Mrs. Paula has informed me that there carriage crashed into a fallen treeabout 5 or 6 miles away from here. And they have been walking in this blizzard this whole time. I fear the lady my be ill my lord. Should I call for a doctor?" Sebastian asked. "No, you take care of her for now. Lets see how she is in the morning, for now take her to her room I had you set up this morning." Ciel said with no emotion in his voice as always. I really was trying to open my eye and tell them I was just sleepy but before I knew it I was out like a light.

The next morning

I woke to the feeling of someone's hand touching my forehead. Opening my eyes, I looked up to see my fiancé staring at me. " Good Morning Lizzy." he said with a small smile on his face. "Good morning Ciel." I said in a horse voice. Ciel laughed a little at my attempt to talk. "Lizzy don't try to talk to much, okay? You must have strained your voice last night. I must say you had me quite worried last night my dear Lizzy. When you got here you had a terrible fever, You are still a little warm this morning as well." Ciel surprisingly said sweetly.

I just nodded my head. That's all I could really do with the splitting headache that just hit me. My body hurt all over. For example, if you get really cold then go and try to take a hot bath right after, then you'd know the pain I was in. I felt super hot and a little dizzy but I still managed to sit up and look at Ciel who was sitting at the end of my bed.

"Ciel would you mind getting me some tea. I don't feel well enough to get it." I asked him slowly. " Lizzy I have servants remember. You don't need to get it." he said in an amused tone. I just shook my head and said, "Ciel I want You to get my tea, not the servants. And when you get back I'd like to talk a while." He sighed but did get up and leave the room.

While he was gone I noticed I was not in my usual room. Ciel usually has me on the east said of the manner while his room is on the west side, as far as possible from mine. From the years of coming to this house I know every room inside and out, so it surprised me when I realized I was in a room directly across from Ciels room. ' Well, this is new. I must say I do like this room better then my last. It's bigger and has it's own bathroom.' I thought to myself.

I didn't have long to ponder why Ciel had moved my closer to him because he then arrived holding a tray with two plates and tea cups on them. Ciel walked to my nightstand and set the tray down. He handed me my cup of tea and set a plate of cookies on my lap.

"Happy now?" he asked in a amused voice. I smiled and just took a sip of my tea. It felt so nice going down my dry throat. 'When was the last time I had anything to eat?' I thought to myself. " Ciel do you think I will be better in time for Christmas?" I asked. He thought for a moment then said, " If you stay in bed and rest for a while I think so." I just nodded and set my cup down now that I drank all of my tea. I reached for a cookie when Ciel asked a Question that caught me off guard. "Elizabeth, after Christmas, how would you like to pick a date for our wedding." he asked in a serious voice before taking a sip of his own tea.

I was a little shocked to speak so I just sat there staging at him as if he grew two heads. 'I have the flu, I just know it. There is no way that Ciel just asked that. It has to be a delusion from the flu.' I thought to myself. Ciel was never one to really talk about our engagement unless it was in front of important people or my family. So it's just a little startling to hear him ask such a thing.

Normal Pov.

Ciel was waiting patiently for his fiancé to recover from his question when she finally spoke. " Ciel what has brought this on? You don't usually talk about our engagement unless you have to." Lizzy asked in a curious voice. Ciel smiled and said, " Well, My dear Elizabeth you had your seventeenth birthday a few months ago, and if you recall we were supposed to marry after you turned sixteen. So really I am quite late with my question, and for that I am sorry." he said in a sincerer voice. " But to Answer your question, it just think it is time. I am already a year late and I also don't want to anger your father. You know who he is when it comes to our engagement. So after Christmas we shall pick a date. Is that okay with you?" He asked kindly.

"Of course Ciel! I think this is wonderful hahaha!" Lizzy shouted as she lunged in to hug Ciel tightly. Ciel just shook his head with a smile and held her in his arms. After a moment passed Lizzy pulled away and laid back onto her pillows.

Lizzy's Pov.

"Good. It's settled then. We can discuss it with your parents when they arrive today." Ciel said. I frowned and looked away. "Mama and Papa said to wish you and I a happy Christmas but they wont be able to make it again" I said disappointedly. Ciel must have noticing my sadness because took her hand and said, " It's okay Lizzy. We can just set a date without them. If they ask why they weren't involved in picking a date then we will tell them the truth. They weren't here when they should have been. So they have no say in the matter." This caused me to smile and squeezed his hand a little.

" Thank you Ciel. Anyhow I am a little hungry now, so can I at least get up and come down for breakfast with you?" I asked in hope. He didn't answer for a while but did end up saying only for breakfast. He was right to say that thought because as soon as he left to find Paula and I stood up, I went into coughing fit. It felt awful. It hurt every time I coughed and I couldn't even breath before the next cough would hit me. " Oh no. I can't breath and I feel dizzy." I thought as I continued to cough. I reached out to grab my night stand to steady myself, But I missed and ended up on the floor gasping through each cough.

Finally I stopped coughing. I tried to stand but I was way to dizzy to even move my head, And when I did move the room would dance around my vision. The dizziness was to much so I just closed my eyes hoping it would stop. It didn't. I could slowly feel my consciousness slipping, and before I knew it everything went black.

Ciel Pov.

After finding Paula in the library, she and I walked back together toward Elizabeth's new room. I had her moved closer to my room as a way to get more comfortable with her being so close, seeing as we will be getting married soon and will be sharing a bed. ' Sharing my bed is not something I will like but I'll get used to it.' I thought to myself as we walked down the hall from the library.

We finally came to a stop in front of Lizzy's room. " Lady Elizabeth may we come in?" Paula asked in a cheery voice that annoyed me. I ignored her and waited for a response. None ever came, which worried me a little so I knocked on the door and asked, "Lizzy are you decent?" Still, there was no response, so I opened the door and walked in to find my fiancé on the floor.

"Elizabeth!" I heard Paula shout loudly as we rushed to Lizzy's side. After turning her over, I put my hand to her forehead and gasped.

"She was Burning up! Sebastian!?" I shouted to my butler who was instantly behind me.

" Yes, my lord. I shall get the Doctor at once." He said quickly, and with that he was gone.

I
