Come on guys! I need some encouragement or some type of review! How do I know if my story is good if only one person gives a review?! Give me some advice! It really helps to know if you are the right track or not...and don't be all haughty taughty, you can state your opinion in a nice way :D ENJOY!
Sierra:
I had two mannequins in front of me. Working in the tea parlor was the perfect place to create the outfits without Ciel knowing. The window cast a bright light on the two figures. I took all of the measurements I needed...and a little unnecessary measurements... Now all I had to do was start Sebby's designs. His black tailcoat is bordered with black lace and the pocket had a red outline. Creeping up the two tails are red cherry blossoms. His buttoned shirt is black lace over black silk and his vest is a sheer velvet crimson red. I made a bow tie of red silk cover with black lace. Instead of him wearing his traditional white gloves, he will wear red gloves. My ball gown would match his in unison. I made mine fairly easily since I didn't have to keep checking up on my own measurements in the book. The material for the draping of my dress is red and has a net like feel to it. It is extremely thin so I had to add 10 layers so that the dress wasn't see through, and then I sewed the crinolette to make the gown puff out. The corset was the only difficult task to make since the boning had to be seemed inside. It was a red silk with lace cherry blossoms that wrapped up the corset on lace branches. Black lace bordered the corset and the bottom of the dress which slightly trailed behind two inches or so. The dress matched the flowered lace design and it looked quite elegant. I would be wearing long black gloves. Together, we would represent a field of dying flowers splotched with blood. The ball is a masquerade, so I had also made masks to go along with our outfits. Both masks were completely identical, only the coloring switched. Instead of a traditional mask, I created a mask that seemed as if it was made out of thin, gnarled branches. The vines would crawl outwards at the temples and cheek bones. Cherry blossoms would adorn the mask in several places as if they were growing on the branches. This would match the design on the clothing. For Sebastian's mask to contrast with his dark suit, his branches/vines were the red color of my dress and his cherry blossoms would be a black lace. For my mask to contrast with my dress, the branches would be black, and the cherry blossoms would be a red lace.
I slowly backed away and looked at my finished work, it was absolutely amazing. Now I needed to find Sebastian and help him with the hors d'oeuvres. I went to open the door and then I began thinking to myself, I haven't seen Danae yet...ill ask Ciel if she stayed here. It is only 8 o'clock so it wouldn't hurt if I told Bardroy and Mey-rin to started breakfast. Jumping on the staircase railing, I ran to the servants floor and woke everybody up,"GET THE HELL OUT YOU LAZY BUMS! CIEL HAS COMPANY AND YA NEED TO START THE COOKING FOR HIM CUZ IM NOT GONNA PUT UP WITH THIS BULLSHIT!," there was no answer,"I KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE, CUZ I DIDN'T HEAR ANY SMASHING PLATES OR SMELL ANY BREAKFAST SO YOU BETTER HURRY THE HELL UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB!"
Still no answer. At this point, they wouldn't be there. I don't even hear breathing...in fact..I can't hear them anywhere on the property...
Glancing over the balcony inside, I leapt over and landed kneeling. The only sound I heard was in the kitchen. And the only thing I could feel was Sebastian's presence pulling me into his strong aura. I floated into the kitchen and noticed a very handsome Sebby concentrating on a book of appetizers and writing down notes. He could feel my presence from a mile away, and he smiled.
"Would you care for some help? I have time to spare, I have finished sewing our outfits."
"They turned out fabulous, I imagine?"
"Nothing but."
I walked over and glanced at the book he was looking at. Inside it had recipes for baguettes, bruschetta, fondue, Rillettes, Pâté, Tapenade, Gougeres, and miniature sandwiches. I looked at Sebastian,"Sebby, tell me something. When is your birthday?"
He glanced up at me and laughed,"My demon birthday or my human birthday? There are two you know?"
I playfully rolled my eyes,"the one most important to you."
"Hmm that would be my demon birthday about 900 years ago around the time of September 14th. Why do you ask?"
"Ok then, September 14th? And I ask because I want to do something for you."
"I'm hungry."
"Bite me."
"What?"
"Bite. Me."
"What the hell?"
"I'll bite you."
"Sia. Why do you want me to bite you."
I sat on his lap putting my legs on either side of his hips,"I have the teeth of a shinigami and of a demon, which makes me look like a vampire...I wonder if I would be able draw blood from your neck Sebby...but I want you to bite me."
"It must be hard for you to resist me with the ring, am I correct?"
I tilted his head to the side revealing his perfect neck,"Se-bas-chan...please..."
"I love it when you say my name..."
In the blink of an eye he turned my head to the side and bit my neck causing blood to escape onto his lips. His eyes turned red.
Sebastian:
She sat on me, putting her chest on mine and her legs were on either side of mine.
"...I want you to bite me"
Her touch was so rough but soft and her voice was poison to my hormones.
"It must be hard for you to resist me with the ring, am I correct?"
She tilted my head to the side and begged me with my name. She knows just how to get me to do anything she wants...it is so..so sexy.
"I love it when you say my name..."
As fast as a demon can move, I turned her head and bit down on her soft neck. Her blood was so ravishing...I needed to pull away because this couldn't happen every time we saw each other. It wasn't the gentleman thing to do.
Very quickly I got her off of my lap and stood up. Looking into her ocean green eyes, I could see the disappointment.
"Sebastian...where did everyone go?"
"Ciel took Danae out for breakfast...I'm afraid Ciel has taken quite a liking to Danae which won't turn out so well for his relationship with Elizabeth...they would get into quite the predicament."
She didn't look to pleased...she was contemplating the situation when she brushed it aside and changed the subject,"Shout for me when you have picked out all of the delicacies, in my opinion, we should make several plates of at least 100 recipies since all of downtown London will be here. Nothing big really, I could make them three days ahead to make sure that we have enough time. When people start arriving, we will have Bardroy stand at the door making sure the townsfolk have the proper attire, Finnie will help people out of the carriages...I'm sure Mey-rin wouldn't mind staying inside to help with security and to get the chance to dance..."
"It sounds like a good idea. I will shout to you as you wish. I think you should talk to Ciel when he comes home, you know...about the fiancé situation. I have a feeling it would be taken into consideration if he heard it from Danae's friend...instead of his butler."
"Hmmm ill make sure the words...sink in. Just so he gets the memo."
She turned and walked out. Ciel should be scared, messing around with Danae was a dangerous thing to do, not only would he need to worry about Elizabeth, he would need to worry about Sierra...
Sierra:
I swear that son of a bitch...my eyes kept flashing red, they must've looked like blinking light because Tanaka looked at me funny when I walked past.
I could see why she would like Ciel, Danae is a 17 yr. old girl that likes to...get around. Ciel is pretty attractive, intelligent, respected, and straightforward. Most guys with these attributes are either already taken, or they are about to be. Ciel is taken. Nobody is going to change that. Even if Ciel falls for Danae, he can't break it off with Elizabeth because that would be burn many many bridges. If he hasn't been able to realize this so far, then I'm going to have to put some sense into him somehow. And I think I know how...
Ciel:
A nice fancy diner sat on the shore of the English Channel. The sky was cloudy, the English flag was wavering in the wind, and I could taste my intentions on my tongue. I had fooled around with girls before (without Liza knowing of course) but those girls were completely ignorant. You take a girl out someplace nice, buy her some jewelry, and you have an open invitation into bed with her. Elizabeth was one of those girls, although I have and would never use her like that. I don't really have any respect for Elizabeth though. She resembles the stereotypical bimbo a bit too much.
Danae on the other hand is more down to earth, I know she isn't going to let me pull a stunt like I did yesterday. Her shame is shown in her eyes and on her cheeks. Her dress is very intricately put together. It is a very light, short pink dress with bows and lace in all places making it look like a piece of art...or rather a scattered, shredded, lovely dress. The waitress looked familiar...she had gray hair with a purple maid outfit. She glanced over at our table a little too much, which gave me the feeling that we should take our leave soon.
"Earl Ciel, did you enjoy the Cannoli and blueberry scones? I found that the scones were quite scrumptious. Then tea was fresh as well."
"Yes everything was fine, next time ill let Sebastian cook for us. He is one hell of a cook."
She looked away at the quickly moving channel. Her eyes grew wide and she returned her glance back to her barely touched teacup.
"Is there something bothering you today Danae? Are you uncomfortable?"
"No I am quite alright," lie. "Thank you for taking me somewhere, I am really enjoying myself," lie "the channel is quite pleasant." Lie.
By the way she looked at the water, I have a feeling that she is scared of swimming or she can't swim.
"There is one thing missing from this arrangement. It is troublesome and I feel as though it is of my accountability."
"What is that my lord?" She had a helpless, concerned look on her face.
"There is the absence of a most cheerful smile upon your lips. Would you care to join me in a walk by the channel?"
The wide eyed look returned to her face as she once again looked out of the window, then she turned back with the most cheerful facade on her face,"that would be absolutely lovely."
We stood from our chairs and strolled out the door while the three stooges paid the tab. I led Danae over to the very edge of the seawall,"are you scared Danae? Are you frightened by the sight of water? I can see through your facade."
She was startled by the question. Quickly she looked up at my face,"yes. I am terrified."
Danae:
He caught me completely off guard. Then when I finally answered him, he looked straight forward with a blank look of contemplation. Next thing I knew, I was falling over the edge of the 30 ft seawall. When I looked up through teary eyes, I saw Ciel with a disgusted smirk on his face. He pushed me over. Then I felt it. The icy channel paralyzed me. It hit my head first since I was plummeting upside down. As I said, I am terrified of water. The waves seemed to engulf me, and the current pulled my entire body another 15 feet underwater. My dress had restrained my legs, so even if I could find the energy from the freezing waters to fight, I wouldn't be able to move. The extra weight caused me to sink at an even faster pace. Now I was 25 ft under the surface in a matter of 10 seconds. This was not my ideal way to die. Drowning wasn't my favorite thing in the world. I opened my eyes. I felt hopeless and weak. I saw my shoes, and the back of my dress was dancing at my ankles. Sunlight outlined the waves. Disorientation took over my mind. My body was growing cold at an incredibly fast pace. At this rate, I would only need to wait 10 seconds before I die.
Now it has been 35 seconds. My lungs cannot withstand the lack of oxygen and my eyes slide shut.
For a second I thought I felt something grab my arm, but my skin was too cold to be sure.
Sierra:
"HOLY SHIT!...IM GOING TO MURDER YOU CIEL PHANTOMHIVE!"
I spotted Ciel and Danae walking along the seawall. The tension in her steps told me she was scared of the channel. She didn't trust her situation. Then he did it. Ciel pushed her over. I was so shocked...so pissed. I froze for a few seconds. Finally getting a grip on my movements, I dove into the cold water. My cold surroundings didn't phase me, my target was set on saving Danae and that's all that mattered. She was being pulled deeper at a rapid pace, one that would be difficult for any human to keep up with. Reaching her body, I instinctively grasped her arm.
She was freezing.
I threw her onto the dock after breaking the surface. She was out cold. The wind put her in a very bad situation. I jumped onto the high seawall with Danae in my arms, and began to sprint.
At my current speed, I would make it to the mansion in two minutes and thirty one seconds. Precisely.
Ciel:
Looking around I found the absence of Danae. Where in hell did she go? Then I heard the screaming of my name and a few foul words in the voice of Sierra. Turning towards her, she jumped into the water and only moments later rushed out with Danae in her arms.
Then reality hit me. I threw her in there. I threw Danae in the water. I was completely unaware of my actions before...what the hell happened to me...
Running over to the carriage I hopped into the coach man's seat and started making my way to the mansion immediately. It would take me about 20 minutes.
Sierra:
I kicked the door in with so much force, an indentation of my foot made itself a home in the wood.
Sebastian was standing, waiting with his kitchen utensil weapons.
"What in hell? What the hell happened to you?"
Ignoring Sebastian's words, I threw Danae in a bathtub which quickly filled with hot water. Slowly I shut the curtain and my body instantly slumped against the wall. My eyes were glowering as I thought of Ciel. The ticking of my watch became louder as my demon side slowly seeped out. My ring was red hot. I didn't notice how soaking wet I was until my body became so hot, steam lifted from the fabric. Foot steps could be heard outside the door, Sebastian's foot steps. I could smell Ciel's contract on him and my self control vanished. Throwing open the door, the handle made a hole in the wall. There was Sebastian Michaelis in the hallway, I pushed him hard against the wall and took out my pocket watch. The chain was sharp now, I brought it to his neck. His eyes peered into mine, I didn't see fear or anger. I saw confusion and worry.
I spat out my words,"your master screwed with the wrong demon."
I almost felt bad. I made it sound like it was almost Sebastian's fault. But I was too distracted to care.
"This is why I don't make myself a servant. It's disgusting."
He was hurt by my words.
"Why do you love me then, if I am so disgusting?"
My eyes filled with guilt. Sebastian pushed my hands from his neck and I dropped my weapon. He pulled me into a hug. His hand caressed my hair and I became weak. Honestly, I didn't think Danae was going to make it. I was still furious. Nothing could stop me from punishing that brat.
"What happened?..."
I told him what I knew...what I saw...Sebastian looked at me knowledgeably, he knew I wanted to kill Ciel.
"You know I can't let you kill him..."
"I wasn't planning on killing him..."
"You can't hurt him, Sierra."
We were standing outside the door of the bathroom. I wasn't going to listen to him. I walked in the bathroom when I heard the rippling of water. My eyes were wide open and I heard Danae's voice trying to make out my name. I kneeled next to the tub, to see Danae trying to make her way out of the water...a failed attempt.
"Hey Danae...you scared the hell out of me...Don't do that again."
She chuckled. I pulled her out and gave Sebastian a look that said get the hell away.
He obliged.
