Chapter 2: Ciel: Love and Loss
I still remember that dreadful day. It was a day of loss, a day tears, and a day I will never forget. It was the day Lizzie was murdered.
-Flashback (Dream) to the Day of Dread, Ciel POV-
We were celebrating the eve of me Elizabeth`s marriage. It had started to storm and Lizzie was getting frightened.
"Ciel!" she yelled, "I`m scared!" her voice was high pitched and sweet. Our wedding was being rushed because of her family`s selfishness. Lizzie was wearing a pink poofy dress and her curly blonde hair was up on big pink bows. There was a man staring at her. He looked middle aged and was quite tan to be an English man. Lizzie leaped into my arms and started to shake in fear. We fell to the floor and I had no choice but to hold her in my arms and try and comfort her.
"Lizzie… it`s just a storm. Just think of this, a storm is just a big, pretty, wonderful rainbow being built by angels, and once the angels are done building it, you will get to see the rainbow." I said trying to comfort her and she looked up and said…
"Ciel… once the storm is over will you come and see the rainbow the angels built with me?" she laid her head on my chest and wrapped her arms around my neck.
I laid my head on her shoulder and held her close to me "Of course, Elizabeth."
"Ciel… I love you." She said.
"I love you too, Elizabeth." I replied. I didn't notice everyone was staring at us until they all said `aw` in unison like a choir singing the end of the song `Hallelujah`. The night continued for hours, I was getting tired. A slow song came on and Elizabeth wanted to dance with me.
We danced very slowly and swayed to the music. She laid her head on my shoulder and shut her eyes and embraced the sweet sound of the music. "Ciel… I`m really getting sleepy…" Elizabeth said.
"Heh…" I laughed for the first time in a while for happiness. "Me too, Lizzie."
"Ciel… you smiled and laughed…" she said in shock looking at my face. "I like it when you are happy, Ciel." She laid her head back down on my shoulder.
The song stopped and the party ended at near ten o`clock. I prepared for bed and went to bed at around eleven o`clock. It was approximately three o`clock in the morning when I heard Lizzie`s blood curdling scream.
"CIEL! SEBASTIAN! BALDROY! FINNY! MEI-RIN! TANAKA-SAN! ANYONE! HELP ME!" she screamed so loud it echoed through the whole manor. Then I heard the servants react. First was Baldroy.
"I`M COMING LADY ELIZABETH!" he screamed letting her know he was coming to help her. Then it was Finnian.
"LADY ELIZABETH! I`M RIGHT BEHIND HIM!" he cried. Then it was Tanaka, obviously not in chibi form.
"LADY! STAY THERE!" Then it was Mei-rin.
"MY LADY! WE ARE COMING!" she cried letting her know she was there for her. Then Sebastian was next to me.
"Sebastian! I order you to help her!" I yelled at him.
"Yes, my lord." He replied. Then he leaped out the window.
"CIEL!" I heard again. I started to get up and then I heard Sebastian say in my mind "No, young master. You must stay safe."
"Dammit, Sebastian!" I yell. "I need to help her!" But, reluctantly, I obeyed.
"HELP!" I hear. What is going on? Then, all is quite. There is no screaming, no crying, what had happened? Then I heard Mei-rin scream a scream of bloody murder. I ran to Lizzie`s room.
When I arrived I said "What happened?" then I gasped. I saw Lizzie on the floor, she was face down and was covered in blood, next to her was a masked man also coated in crimson. Sebastian reached down and pulled off the mask. It was the man who had been watching Lizzie at the party. I knew there was something odd about him. He was plotting her death. I closed her beautiful eyes and I cried.
Three months later we attended her funeral. Now she looked so peaceful and tranquil, it was hard to believe someone wanted a young blonde girl dead. Once everyone left I leaned over and kissed her one last time and said into her ear "Lizzie… the angels made the rainbow in the sky for you… I love, Lizzie…" then I wept. I could hear her say "I love you too, Ciel. Goodbye. Find love again. For me…"
"I will, Lizzie. I will…" I said aloud.
-End Dream-
I woke in a cold sweat and found Anna asleep on the couch. I guess I never dismissed her. She looked cute when she slept. I looked at me and Lizzie`s engagement ring. "Lizzie, is this what you meant by 'Find love again'?" I thought. Anna… what are you?
