Here's chapter 3! Oh and yes, I always have to do the cliffhanger XD. Me and cliffhanger are like BEST FRIENDS! Lol.

Disclaimer: All blah blah blah Animes/Games/Movies blah blah blah I only own the characters I make!


Hope and Sebastian covered their masters from the flying glass. "Mister Hope! We have gunman in the front and back gardens!" A tall man in a gray suit said while opening the door quickly. He had short dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.

Hope ushered Ailey to sit on the ground beside Ciel, who had already taken the liberty to do so himself with a bored expression. "Can I have a headcount Steve?" Hope asked, standing to his full height and stepping to the side of the window seconds before another gunshot went off.

"Five sir. Two snipers, the other three have regular guns." Steve responded. "ALL RIGHT YOU PIECE OF CRAP! YOU HAVE THREE SECONDS TO GET OUT OF MY GARDEN!" A voice screamed from outside. Hope sighed.

"Go get Edward and tell him to guard Lady Lavender and Earl Phantomhive. Then I want you to find those snipers and eliminate them before they can do further damage." Hope said pinching the bridge of his nose. He then turned to Sebastian. "I realize that this may be terribly rude but may you assist me in this pest problem?"

Sebastian smirked and nodded. "It would be my pleasure." He said, following Hope out of the room. Ailey brought her knees up to her chest. "Why is this happening?" She asked. "Their boss probably read the morning paper. To them there's either a bounty over your head or they're here to finish the job." Ciel said blankly. Ailey looked at Ciel with wide eyes before gasping, looking toward the door as she heard more gunshots coming from the hallway.

"Mr. Edward, they're in the study." A small voice said outside the door. "Right. Now go help Kyo outside, Isara." A boy's voice, Edward's, said. A faint pair of footsteps ran away from the door. Seconds later, there was a knock. "My Lady, is everything alright?" Edward asked, walking into the study. He had blonde hair and golden eyes. He wore a dirty white shirt and brown pants. "Y-yes." Ailey said, nodding shakily.

Things were quiet for a few minutes and Edward paced the room. When he passed the window, a dark figure came up and grabbed him from behind. "Hey-!" Edward yelled before his mouth was covered. Two men with their faces covered ran into the room.

They grabbed Ailey and Ciel and chuckled. "This is too easy." The man holding Ailey sneered. "Yes, you are right sir." Hope's voice rang through out the room. The man holding Ciel started screaming and dropped the Earl before falling to the ground and curling into a ball. "Now if you would be so kind, could you release My Lady?" Hope asked.

The man holding Ailey started to breathe heavily and held a gun to her head. "W-where are you?!" The man yelled, "If you don't come out I'll kill her right now!" Ailey whimpered and closed her eyes tightly, lowering her head.

This wasn't how she imagined dying. "My my, what a temper." Hope taunted with a smirk, walking into the room. Behind Ailey and her captor, Edward brought his right arm up and elbowed the person holding him in the temple, knocking him unconscious.

"What?" The man holding Ailey asked in shock, turning halfway so he could see both Edward and Hope. "All you have to do is say the word My Lady." Hope said, putting his hand to his chest and bowing. "Hope, save me!" Ailey cried. "As you wish." Hope said before disappearing. The man holding Ailey had enough, and pulled the trigger.


This was shorter than I would have liked. I'll try to make the the next chapter longer. Oh and guess what?

CLIFFHANGER STRIKES AGAIN!
