Waiting in the carriage was very boring. If I remember correctly, Sebastian gets chomped on by a tiger, Ciel has an allergy attack, and Sebastian comes back with the grand plan of going under cover. Hmm... Lane hasn't said anything in a while since I told him about what Ciel can do. I pull my bag up onto the seat and open it up. I pull out the scary stories book and set it on the seat. I frown, looking at the manga's. I need to put those away. Who knows what could happen if these guys got their hands on it. Though, now as I am thinking, why did our stuff come with us?
I shake my head and hide the manga's under my night clothes. I then grab the first aide kit. Yeah, its weird that our stuff came with us, but I am kinda glad it did. At least I have my medical grade first aide kit, and Lane has food and sodas. Back to my kit. Its huge. It is like 4 pounds, but it holds SO MUCH. Anyways, I know Ciel is going to have that allergy problem. I have antihistamines in here. I might as well give one to Ciel. I open up the kit, pulling it open to the meds. I grab one of the 20 packs of diphenhydramine and put it on the seat on top of my scary book. I close up the pack and put it back in my bag, closing the entire thing up. I am so glad we decided to use our really, really big bags for this trip.
"Hey, Lane?" I say, grabbing his attention. I put my bag on the floor and look over at him. "Do you have any of the drinks and snacks in your bag?"
He nods and pulls his bag up to his lap, opening it up. "Yeah, what do you want? I got those small cans of sodas, a few bottles of Gatorade, and some water bottles. Oh! I packed you a few of those Ito En Jasmine Tea bottles. I know how much you like those." My eyes light up and I give him a huge smile and hold out my hands.
"You are awesome! I want an Ito En now, and I will need a water bottle for Ciel later. What kind of snacks did you pack for me?"
He frowns, pulling both bottles out. I put the water bottle on the seat, and crack op my tea. I take a sip as Lane speaks. "Why do you need a water bottle for him?"
I swallow my sip and point to the med package. "Ciel is going to come back sneezing with a runny nose. He is allergic to cats and Sebastian is going to be bitten by a tiger. So, I thought I might as well help a little and give him an antihistamine. But seriously, what kind of snacks do you have for me?"
Lanes eyes bug out when I talk about the tiger, but doesn't speak as he reaches in his bag. He pulls out a package of sea salted seaweed and hands it over to me. Once I take them, he talks quietly. "He's going to be bitten by a tiger?"
I nod my head, opening my seaweed with one hand. "Uh-huh. On the head. He is gonna be okay. He is a demon after all. But this is a great time for them to infiltrate the camp to find the missing children. So, Ciel comes back before Sebby does, has his little attack, and then Sebby is going to come back and tell Ciel that they are gonna go undercover. Which the kid isn't going to be happy about. Oh well. Thanks for the snack!" I grin, placing a strip into my mouth, humming happily.
"Chelsea, this is really freaking weird." Was all Lane said before he goes quiet again. He moves to the end of the seat, away from the door and closes his bag. He places it on top of mine and leans his head on the side of the carriage.
"Take a nap Lane. We have a bit to go. You will either wake up when we start moving, or ill wake you up when we get to the townhouse. Assuming we make it that far." I pop another strip of my snack in my mouth and smile. Lane just shakes his head at me and closes his eyes.
I grab open up my book, keeping the pill and water on the seat. Horror stories for a new life filled with actual horror. I sit and read this story about a bride who goes missing on her wedding day. While I am reading, I finish my snack and put the trash in Lanes bag. I am so immersed into this story, only looking up when Ciel enters the carriage. He takes a look at me and then proceeds to sneeze. Cute.
I put the book down, grabbing the water bottle and meds. Ciel takes a seat next to me and sneezes again, muttering about a damn tiger.
"Hey, so. I have something to help you with the allergy thing." I whisper. My eyes shoot over to Lane to see him still sleeping then look back to Ciel. He looks at me in slight hesitation before I hold my hands out. He looks at the package and the bottle then back at me.
"What is this supposed to do? You wont get away with-" He sneezes again and wipes his nose with his handkerchief before continuing to speak. "If you are trying to poison me, it wont work."
I roll my eyes and hand him the water bottle. I open the pack of antihistamines and hold it out to him. "Look, you are sneezing, and I know allergies suck. I have stuff that will help you. It is an unopened bottle of water and medicine. I am not trying to poison you. Just take the stuff and swallow the pills."
He hesitantly opens the water bottle after looking at it curiously, then sneezes again. He sighs and holds his hand out, and I drop the two little pills in his hand. He takes them quickly and leans back against the seat, sneezing again.
"Thank you for trusting me. I know that is hard for you. I promise it will start to help you soon."
I get a nod from him. "You know what Sebastian is." It wasn't a question. I kept my mouth shut and watched this boy speak. "You know what I am capable of. Did you remain in the carriage for fear of what I will do?"
I shook my head and took a sip of my Ito En that was on my lap. "No. I didn't remain in fear. I stayed because I am stuck in a place I have limited knowledge about, except for your story. My best friend got dragged here with me, and I have to keep him safe. He has been in some bad situations before because of me."
Ciel sneezes and looks at me. "Bad situations because of you?"
I nod, taking another sip. "Uh-huh. It was kind of a similar situation as this. Little girls were being kidnapped. Lane and I were walking around San Antonio and we watched this little girl being grabbed. I jumped in, thinking it was just these two guys. I saved that little girl, but they had Lane with a gun to his head and so yeah. We got kidnapped. Saved me time from having to track down where they were keeping the girls, but I was still upset they had used Lane. Found out it was the Cuban mob that were trying to sell these girls into sex slavery. Nasty business. I took three bullets, Lane got grazed once, but I took those guys down. Only this similar between this case and that one, was that children were being abducted."
Ciel is just staring at me with his mouth wide open. I gave him a small smile but jumped when I heard Lane speaking. "She took them down all right. They were all twice her height and three times her weight too. Idiot didn't want to wait for the police to come get her."
I smile sheepishly at Lane. "I was already there, so why not do something?"
Lane sighs and rolled his eyes. "You got shot. Three times."
I shrug. "Still took those bastards down."
Ciel is looking between the two of us, staying quiet. I think I shocked him. I turn and look at him. "Am I correct in assuming that Sebby told you what Lane and I said to him? You know, when you tried so hard to make Undertaker giggle?"
His blue eyed narrowed but he nodded. "Yes. You obviously know much. Why don't you just tell me where the children are?"
I sigh, looking over at Lane. He is sleeping, again. I look down at my lap before speaking. "I wish I could, but that is cheating and cheaters never win. I don't know what is exactly going on as far as timeline stuff, but if you don't go through what you need to go through, the whole space time continuum may be screwed up and I can't have that coming back onto me. By the way! You are not sneezing!"
Ciel keeps his eye narrowed at me. "I am not. You have a use after all." Mental fist pump! "What do you mean by timeline?"
"Well. How old are you? Oh, and what is the month?"
"15. It is the beginning of March."
I hum quietly for a minute, looking down at my lap. In the manga, he would have just turned 13, not 15. Though it seems the months are kinda the same. So, this means after circus thing, its Easter and Lizzy will be there and oh my god.
I look up as Ciel speaks. "What is a manga? What do you know of Elizabeth?"
Oops, I guess I spoke out loud. "Well, a manga is like a book but with pictures. I know that she is your cousin, but also your fiancée. Its kinda weird, but I mean, we are in Victorian London. There is quite a bit of inbreeding in the nobles. I also know of her attitude, secrets that you don't know and that I will not tell you, and that you find her kind of annoying."
All I get is a 'humph' before the carriage door opens and Sebastian's face appears. He gives us a smile as he climbs in. Ciel looks at him for a moment before hitting his cane on the roof.
"Sebastian. When we get to the townhouse, prepare two rooms for our guests. They will be staying with us indefinitely. She has much use, yet wont go anywhere without the male. You shall also make a call to Nina to have them fitted with clothing."
I frown at this. "Doesn't Nina only work with people until they hit like, 16? I am 19 dude, I think. Time has confused me."
Ciel looks at me through the corner of his eye. "Time is the same, though you are just not from here. Also, where exactly are you from?"
I giggle. "Time is not. I am from the past. Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff happened and poof! Here Lane and I am, without the help of a TARDIS!"
Sebastian cocks his head to the side, looking at me curiously. "TARDIS?"
I nod my head with a big smile. "It's a thing used by The Doctor and it means 'Time And Relative Dimensions In Space'. Basically, he is a time traveler and can travel all across universes and galaxies and stuff. Though, he isn't able to do what Lane and I did as far as jumping into a story. Ah, I am rambling. Sorry. Back to topic. Nina doesn't do of age people."
Ciel raises an eyebrow at me. "We shall see." He turns back to Sebastian. "What did you find out?"
I sigh and lean back against the seat, drinking my Ito En. Oh well, I am excited to meet Prince Soma and Agni!
