"Ngh…" Lizzy groaned as she sat up in the bed, holding her head as she looks up to the only light source illuminating the room. "Aah, Ciel? What time is it?" Lizzy mumbled while rubbing her head. Her eyes shifted from Ciel to Sebastian. She had a slight look of confusion. "And who is this tall, young man standing next to you? A new butler Uncle Vincent and Auntie Rachel hired?"
Ciel's eyes widened, he even felt the eye under his eye patch expand. He felt the blood in his face drain out. He grabbed onto the side of his coat.
Sebastian was also in a state of shock. His eyes also widened and he dropped the candlestick, the fire going out as soon as it drops on the floor, leaving the only light in the room is the light pouring in through the corridor.
"Oh! Ciel! What happened to your eye? How come you're wearing that eye patch?" Lizzy asked as she jumped off the bed and walked over to where Ciel stood to get a closer look.
Ciel looked down, his hands turning into fists. He was gripping so hard his knuckles were turning white, numbing the tension in his hands. He started shaking. "Se… Sebastian…" Ciel trembled.
The shocked butler slightly leaned down to his trembling young master, his face still in a slight daze. "Young Master…?"
Ciel's hands released from his fists and his hands swung across Sebastian's face. "What have YOU DOOOONE?!" Ciel kept slapping him. Lizzy backed up a couple steps, covering her mouth.
"Ci-Ciel…! Stop…!" Lizzy said through her hands. Ciel didn't seem to hear her, for he kept slapping the butler.
"BECAUSE OF YOU, LIZZY FORGOT EVERYTHING! SHE FORGOT THE MANSION BURNING DOWN, MY PARENTS' DEATHS, EVEN MADAME RED'S DEATH!" Ciel stopped slapping Sebastian and jumped up to him, pinning him down to the floor.
Sebastian looked up at Ciel in even more shock, and might have shown a slight blush. "YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE PHANTOMHIVE FAMILY!" Ciel screamed, his face looking down at Sebastian.
Having heard this, Sebastian jumped slightly, his face transforming into a hurt expression. I'm a… Disgrace? Sebastian thought.
Lizzy fell to her knees, her arms dropping in front of her for support, for if she didn't have them for support, she would have dropped to the floor completely. Tears streamed down her face, quickly spilling over to the soft, carpeted floor. A small sob escaped her lips as one of her fists slammed the floor.
"STOP IT CIEL! GET OFF OF HIM!" Lizzy screamed. Ciel came back to himself, realizing what he just said, as he looked over to Sebastian's face. He felt like he just kicked a kitten. He quickly got off of the hurt butler, looking away.
Sebastian got up a few moments later, his expression staying the same. "Sebastian, I am so s-" Ciel started apologizing, when he felt a little gust of wind. He looked over to where Sebastian was standing. He was gone. Ciel felt his heart drop as guilt weighted his heart down. He suddenly realized that Lizzy is bawling on the floor in front of him, remembering he just told her half her family had died off.
He walked over to his sobbing fiancé. He started running his fingers through her hair that was down because her hair got messed up as she slept. "Lizzy, I know it's hard for you to comprehend, but Mother and Father died in a fire that blazed in the manor we grew up in. This is an exact copy of the manor I had built. Madame Red was killed a year ago by a serial killer named Jack the Ripper," Ciel explained in a soothing tone.
Lizzy kept crying, but her sobs quieted down a little when Ciel stroked her hair, that was draped over her damp face. She whipped the tears from her face and looked up at Ciel.
He exposed a sad smile, and took a handkerchief out of his front pocket. He moved the hair out of her face as she hiccupped occasionally. He used the handkerchief to wipe her face. "Look at yourself. You look like a mess, nothing like a proper lady," he said, smiling and whipping the young lady's face.
Lizzy managed to show a small smile, while trembling a little with a slight blush exposing. "Mm! I'll try, darling Ciel…" she said up to Ciel. She sniffed a little, whipping her nose. "Ciel, who was that butler you had there?"
Ciel suddenly remembered that Sebastian had ran away, and stood up, looking towards the door full of light. "His name is Sebastian, but I'll explain more about him and the other servants in the manor. Right now I need your help. We need to find Sebastian."
He looked down at Lizzy. He stuck his hand out to her. "Are you going to help me, my Lady?"
Lizzy's face glowed. "Y-yes!" Lizzy said, accepting his hand while hiccupping. She got up, whipping her eyes, as she ran out the room into the burning light, running down the corridor.
Ciel's face changed into a look of concern, heavily breathing in and out as he tries his hardest to keep running. Sebastian, please don't do something that you might regret!
