Ciel flinched and wormed his arm out of the girls grasp. If Lizzy saw him with her, she was sure to be upset. "Felicity..." He murmured, just to make sure it was her. The girl smiled, moving in closer, this time to wrap him into a warm hug. "Ciel... Oh it's wonderful to see you." She breathed, her brown eyes grew watery. Ciel could only just stand there rigidly, as the girl clung onto him. "Pl-Please let go." The thin boy half pleaded half demanded. Usually he would've pushed her away, but he knew better. 1. He was in public 2. She was a noble and he knew better 3. She was a Lady and he tried to refrain from being to violent with them... At least, most of the time. This caused the girl to let go, a hurt expression on her features. Ciel could now fully get a view of her. Her black hair went down to about her mid back, she looked lively and healthy as any noble birthed person should. She was wearing a dark violet dress with black trimmings, accompanied by a small sun hat. "It's me... Felicity Montgomery... Do you not remember your childhood friend?" The raven haired girl demanded, voice growing quickly irritated. Ciel looked from Sebastian to her and sighed.

"Look of course I remember you... But seeing you here is quite a surprise." Ciel tried, hurrying the conversation along. "Excuse me? Says the one who disappeared and then suddenly came back and never told me." Felicity countered quickly, folding her arms. Her sweet tone had disappeared and she was beginning to sound more like the spoiled girl she was. "It didn't concern you, you were nothing more than a acquaintance, as a matter of fact, you still are." Now his tone was beginning to let anger be heard.

"Is that what you saw me as..." Her voice lowered, as she looked to the ground. "I'm sorry, but yes-" CIel started only to be cut off by a pressure on his arm. He quickly whisked around to see Elizabeth who was holding out a small carved bird. "Look Ciel, this is said to bring happiness to whomever has it. Isn't it cute?" She thrust it towards him. The girl didn't seem to have noticed Felicity and Ciel would like to keep it that way. "Lizzy, it's wonderful." He smiled, taking the small item and pocketing it. "I promise I'll treasure it forever, thank you." The boy quickly glanced towards Sebastian. The butler didn't waste a moment, understanding his Master's silent plea. "Lady Elizabeth, there's going to be a magic show on the other end of the fair, why don't you and the young Master go and watch."

"That sounds lovely." Elizabeth grinned, looking towards Ciel for his approval. "Well then, let us go." He agreed, offering her his arm which she eagerly accepted. Without hesitation he began leading her away from where Felicity was still standing, sulking and looking hurt. He spared her a glance over his shoulder, a cold look on his features before he turned his head back forward. Sebastian watched the girl a moment longer before he dipped his head in towards the young Lady and turned to follow Ciel and Elizabeth dutifully.

"That idiot..." Felicity's raspy voice growled as she straightened up and watched their figures disappear. The last thing she saw being bouncy blonde hair. Her... Elizabeth Midford, she had to go. "Miss Montgomery, how did the reunion go?" A smooth voice spoke as a hand was placed on her shoulder, Felicity looked up to see messy black hair along with gray eyes. Lucius Carlton... The Lord who had taken her under his wing when she had lived in Italy and had, ultimately, became her guardian. He was charming, handsome, smooth and witty. To others he was perfect (Others being women) To her, he was nothing more than somebody who took care of her, he had his flaws just like everyone.

"Lucius, we are returning to my estate. I don't wish to talk about it." She snapped. "Prepare the carriage." He watched in her in mild amusement, had she really just expected to walk into his life once again and everything would be alright? How naive. Still though, he nodded. "Alright, Felicity. We shall return at once." He removed his hand from her shoulder and instead placed it on her back so he could lead her away from where the incidents had just happened. Humans... They could be so foolish.

~Flashback~

"Mother, I don't want to meet the Phantomhives." Felicity whined as her mother did her five year old daughters hair up in a formal updo. "But darling, they're important friends of ours. Please try to understand, besides they have a boy around your age, I'm sure you'll get along." The girl fell quiet, grumbling to herself angrily.

They Montgomery family arrived at the Phantomhive manor an hour later, Felicity stood behind her fathers legs as the door opened. At first she was slightly upset to see a young smiling couple welcoming them. Her mother had lied... There was no boy. But after a small amount of talking they were invited in. Trailing after her mother, Felicity entered the house only to have the Phantomhive man crouch down infront of her. "Why hello there, you must be Felicity. My name is Vincent."

In an awkward state, she curtseyed towards the man. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Earl." She said, thanking her memory for reminding her that he was an Earl and not calling him something as Viscount, or Duke. He stood and turned to his wife, for the first time, Felicity let her gaze travel over to the woman, her eyes widened as she saw her pushing a navy haired boy in her direction. "Say hello Ciel..." She had whispered in a kind manner. The boy stumbled forward, before he gave a shy smile. "Hello Felicity, my name is CIel, would you like to play?"

Adults were watching her, in embarrassment Felicity didn't reply for a moment, before Ciel leaned in a bit closer and she was brought back to reality. "Oh yes, please!" She squeaked. Ciel gave a joyous laugh, and took her wrist leading her towards his room up the stairs where he had many toys. Felicity was giggling as they ran, only half aware of the adults chuckles coming from behind.

Ever since then she and Ciel had grown to be close friends, they would play together whenever the chance came up. As she grew, Felicity began to realize her feelings towards the boy, but she also wasn't the sweet little girl she had used to be, at the age of nine she had became more confrontational, opinionated and protective. One day, she and Ciel had been walking around her estate garden, when she suddenly leaned forward and pecked his cheek.

In shock, the boy stumbled backwards. "What was that for?" He questioned in surprise The girl narrowed her eyes. "Did you not enjoy it?" She demanded. Ciel blinked, "Well, I, uh... You see." He had only seen her as a innocent friend, and well, his parents taught him that kisses from people outside the family were only meant for marriage. And well even though Lizzy was his cousin, he knew she would be the only girl around his age he would ever kiss. Well that's what his mother had said. But then, why had Felicity kissed his cheek? Was it different because it wasn't directly on the lips? He was so confused.

"But what about Elizabeth?" He asked, meaning to ask about what type of kiss it had been, but Felicity had taken it the wrong way and her eyes sharpened. "Who the hell is Elizabeth, Ciel?" Before he could answer, she had jumped on top of his and smacked him hard across the face. Suddenly her mind began to whirl and she repeated the motion again and again until his shouts and pleads for her to stop were eventually heard by her parents who came running out. Ciel had gone home, and she didn't ever see him again. Mostly because soon after her parents decided to move to Italy.

Stupid idiots, they died from illness, luckily she had been confined from it, being at a boarding school. It was there she met the slightly older male, Lucius, who was also born in Britain, but his mother was Italian and he was staying with her at the time. Or that was at least what he claimed. The boy, feeling pity, became like an older brother, protecting her, supplying basic needs and even teaching her things she didn't understand in school. She had grown quite close to him and that was why when she was reading and artical from a British newspaper about the Funtom company, she invited him to return home with her.

"Lucius!" A loud voice called. The black haired male, who had been in the middle of a conversation with four girls turned to the person he had grown so accustomed to. Excusing himself, he left his previous group and headed towards the young girl. "Felicity, what is it?" He had asked in simple curiosity. She shoved a newspaper abruptly into his face. "It's about the Funtom company. Run by the Phantomhives. Remember how I was telling you about my old family friends that perished in a fire? Well, obviously one had to live to run it right? If you read further down it mentions a 'Ciel' He's alive, Lucius and I'm going back for him." For the past two years she had thought of nothing but him, he was the boy she had loved and still did. And now he was alive, nothing was stopping her, she still owned property back in England. And with her status and late parent's money, she could easily leave Italy. "Lucius, I want you to come. Will you?"

Without even hesitating, he grinned and dipped his head. "Why Ms. Montgomery, it would be my pleasure..." She failed to notice the small smirk he gave soon after.
