Chapter 2: Ciel's P.O.V.
She looked up at me. This was the first time I had seen her face. She had very pretty blue eyes and very straight auburn hair. She would've been very pretty if she hadn't been crying.
"I'm sorry. It's just my parents," She started but couldn't continue because she started crying so hard. I sat down by her." My parents died a few weeks ago in a fire. All the rest of my family was already dead or had too many things on their hands already. I didn't think I had any family left. I eventually started coping but then they found my cousin, Finny. After that everything has just started coming out. I am,"
"Don't say you're sorry. There is nothing you have done so don't go apologizing. If anyone should be apologizing it would be me. But crying doesn't solve anything. At least you have some family that still cares for you; Finny took you in because he wanted to. You are not a burden to him." I said interrupting. She then looks at me again and then she does the thing you'd least expect her to do. She looked at me and smiled.
"I've never looked at it that way. Thank you."
'What's wrong with this girl? Why does she make me feel like this inside?' I thought to myself. We then go back inside. She goes to her room and I go into my office. I sit there for a while. Then Sebastian comes in.
"Young master, dinner is ready." He says.
"Why can't you bring it in here where I usually eat it?" I ask irritated.
"We have a few guests, and Finny, Bard and Mey Rin have been asked to have dinner with the young master." He says with the typical butler tone but I know he is laughing on the inside.
"Fine." I say. I then follow Sebastian to the dining hall. I am surprised to see all the people sitting there. I noticed Mey Rin, Finny, Bard, even Lizzie, but the one person I didn't see was Alice." Where's Alice?" I whispered to Sebastian.
"She was helping cook and got food all over her dress. She went to change. Why are you worried about it master?" Sebastian said.
"No reason. I was just wondering. Why is Lizzie here?" I ask trying to change the subject.
"Elizabeth had something she wanted to tell you. She came earlier today, but we couldn't find you so I invited her to dinner and she says she must talk to you in private after dinner." Sebastian answered not noticing my little change. I go and sit next to Lizzie.
Dinner seemed different the way it was served. A big majority of each serving of food was in its own dish. We all had plates in front of us but no food. Then Alice came down. She was in the most beautiful dress I had ever seen.
'Someday she will find a very nice husband.' I thought to myself. She sat down next to Finny. Then Sebastian sat down.
"Sebastian, what are you doing shouldn't you be serving us?" I asked with a kind of confused tone in my voice.
"You serve yourself in this type of meal." Alice chimed in. "There is no need for assistance" I stared at her with a confused look on my face and eventually she said. "You see these bowls. You pick them up and grab the serving spoon in the bowl and put some on your plate." She said that as if she were talking to a 3 year old. I then nod and dinner starts.
It was actually kind of good. I had never had this type of dinner before. Alice called it baked chicken. She made that and most of the rest of the meal.
After dinner Lizzie asked me to come with her. "Ciel, I am so sorry." She said once we were alone.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong?" I ask worriedly.
"My, my mom said we are moving. She also said, said I wouldn't be able to marry you because we are moving to a different country." She said between sobs.
I looked at her. "It's okay we can still stay in contact right? I mean we can write letters and stuff. Correct?"
"Yeah I guess. Bye Ciel. Maybe I'll talk to you later." She said and then walked out of the door. I felt warm water falling down my face. I touched my face gently. These can't be tears. I haven't cried in at least 3 years.
"Ciel, its Alice. May I come in?" Alice says from across the door.
"No, just go away." I screamed. Then there was silence then my sobs again. I didn't hear the door open but I felt her hands on my back.
"It's okay. Everything will be alright." I just sat there sobbing until she finally said, "Crying doesn't solve anything. Crying gets you nowhere in life, remember?" I look up at her. I know my face is a mess but just to prove it she says, "Let's take the eye patch off. It would make everything a whole lot easier." She then started to untie the eye patch. I tried to slap her hand away but it didn't work. She then took the eye patch off my eye. I looked down quickly. She then picks my head up so I'm looking at her. I close my eyes tightly.
"Stop you don't want to see my eyes. You'll think I'm weird." I scream quietly.
"Aren't we all? I mean aren't we all weird? In our own way, there is something weird that is in us all." She says. I then open my eyes. I look at her straight in the eyes. She sees my eyes and everything is suddenly eerily quiet.
