Victoria slammed the door behind her and collapsed in front of it, the door hitting her head in frustration. She hated being told what to do anyway; she couldn't wait until she turned 16 and buy a house on her own. Now, she'll be living with a burden that the one thing that she could choose has been taken away from her. She had only talked to him one time!
She heard a knock on her door. "Madam?" Sara said quietly through the door. "Y-yes?" Victoria stuttered to keep from screaming bloody murder. "May I come in?"
"…Yeah." Sara opened the door. "We need to get ready for the party."
"I'm not going." Victoria said stubbornly. "Madam, you must. This whole party is for you to meet Earl Phantomhive." Sara said, hiding disappointment. "…Really?"
"Yes, Madam."
"…Fine." Sara's eyes became softer and calmer. "Good." She headed to the wardrobe and opened it to reveal tons of colorful, frilly dresses. Much different than the dress that was currently on her, plane, washed out, tattered. And that was the most formal this she owned.
"Which one would you like?" Sara said, while taking out the dresses and placing them neatly on the bed. A lacey yellow one, a blue one with ruffles, and the pink one with lace, ruffles, and flowers. Defiantly not her taste. However the final one was the one who looked somewhat decent. I was dark purple with black lace at the bottom of the dress, top and sleeves.
Now, it wasn't screaming Victoria Ravensong, but it was the one that was closest to her liking. When Victoria held up the dress, a feint look of disgust shown on Sara's lips. "What?" Victoria asked to the look on her face. "Nothing." A fake smile swiped across her face, she walked over to Victoria and unbuttoned the top button of her shirt. She slapped away her hand. "I can do this myself!" Victoria hissed. "Y-yes Madam. Call me when you need help with your corset."
"C-corset?" With that, Sara left the room.
Victoria pouted and proceeded undressing.
Sebastian tightened Ciel's bow. Ciel wasn't fond of having to choose between two fiancées. He was hoping that she was at least a little better than Elizabeth. He didn't like her, but he could deal with her. Now he is going to have to meet another young woman? On top of that, if he chose another girl he could never face Elizabeth again. She would be heart-broken. Ciel thought all 13 year old girls where the same. Energetic, sensitive, girly, and worst of all, annoying. "Young Master," Sebastian began, Ciel glared at him. Of course it was only visible with his eye that wasn't hidden behind his eye patch. "Are you nervous?"
"No. Just annoyed."
"Young master, please be a gentlemen in front of Lady Ravensong."
"Ravensong?" Ciel asked remembering the name. It was familiar to him, somehow.
"Yes. Do you remember? She was the young lady whose father did those mass murders a while back. She helped us close the case."
"Her? She's a noble? I thought she was relatively poor."
"She was, but when her father was hung, she went to live with her grandmother whose husband is Earl to the Rogerson estate." Ciel was astonished. Wow. I would have never thought that our paths would cross again. She identified the bodies, and confirmed cause of death. She is very bright. Ciel let out a sigh of relief. He hadn't talked to her much. She was very quiet when he met her. He knew nothing about her. Anxiousness flooded the boy's brain. He quickly shook it off. It'll be fine. He assured himself
