-Your P.O.V-

After dinner you and Ciel went to his drawing room. You played chess with him for a while. A couple hours the game ended. "What?! H-how?" Asked the surprised earl when he found that he had lost to his princess. "It's simple really. I had nothing to do in the castle, so I had my maids and butlers teach me when I was little. They showed me everything and how to beat anyone in any situation. Soon I even beat them." You said with a giggle.

'She's the first person who's beaten me in chess.' Thought Ciel 'Incredible.' You sat there with a smile on your face. Suddenly Sebastian came through the doors with some tea. When he saw the board and saw the player's facial expressions he too was a little surprised. When he saw your smile and the shocked expression on Ciel's face he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Here is your tea my lord and lady." He said. That instantly snapped Ciel out of his thoughts and back into reality. "Thank you, Sebastian." You said as you took a sip of your tea. "This is good."said Ciel. "Yes, quite." You added. "Thank you, my lord and lady." He said as he bowed and left. Once he left silence braced the room. Neither one said anything. You hid behind your bangs.

"Wow, the garden looks beautiful. The white snow just adds to its beauty." You said finally breaking the silence. When you took another look outside you saw something or someone running in the garden. "Mister C-Ciel, is there something or someone besides the servants at your manor?" You asked.

Ciel was a little confused why you would ask that question, but he soon remembered that Pluto was outside. "Oh, that's just Pluto our demon hound." He said. "D-demon hound." You said shakily. "W-why would you keep that as a pet?" "That wicked angel angela made us take care of him." He said as he started to remember all the terrible things Angela did to him. "Oh. Should I be worried that he is breathing fire?" You asked. "No. That's normal." He said as he noticed the slight expression of fear and worry on your face.

You took a deep breath and stood up. "Thank you for letting me stay." You said as you got up and hugged him. Yet again it took him by surprise, but he still ended up hugging back in the end. "If you need me I'll be in my room down the hall." He said. Ciel secretly hoped you would need him. Needless to say he has developed feelings for you, and so had Sebastian. Sebastian came in yet again out of nowhere. "Let me show you to your room, my lady." He said. Since you had your back turned to him you didn't know he was there at all. When he spoke you jumped a little bit. You had to put a hand over your mouth to stifle the yelp. "Thank you, mister." You said as you regained your composure.

That night you had a nightmare. You were tied to a chair. You heard your mother's voice and your servants Arthur,Peter, Gale, and Angelica. "I can't believe she actually believed she could get to her castle without her mum noticing." Said Angelica. Then you saw your mother cowering over you. "YOU CAME TO STEAL THE THRONE DIDN'T YOU, YOU BLOODY WANKER! WELL THAT ISN'T' GOING TO HAPPEN! THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! Especially when you're dead." Said your mother, Queen Victoria. She took her dagger and struck your arm. It started bleeding. Blood spread all over the arm your (colour) dress. You tried to scream, but you had tape over your mouth. "I hope you have a painful death." Your mother said. Then she struck you right where your heart lied.

Right as she struck you, you woke up, you realized that you were crying and that you let out a scream, because right then Ciel burst through your door. When he saw the tears streaming down your face like a waterfall he felt his heart drop to the pit of his stomach. He couldn't stand to see you look like that. It hurt him to see you like that.

"(F/n) are you okay?" He asked. You could hear the concern in his voice. "Y-Yeah. I-I-I'm fine, Ciel." You stammered, not wanting to tell the truth. "You're lying. Tell me what happened." He said as he sat next to you. You told him everything. You didn't leave out a single detail. When you finished, his eyes were wide with shock. You refused to look at him. Then he tried to soothe you.

"I won't make you go back. I promise." He said as you held onto him tightly. You didn't want to let go. You didn't like showing weakness in front of other people, so you lowered your head in shame and embarrassment. When you pulled away you couldn't bring yourself to look at him. You felt his thumb wipe away the remaining tears. "I won't let you go." He whispered in a soothing manner. A small smile graced your features at his kind words and soon you fell asleep knowing that Ciel would be there for you if you needed him once more.
