Just a side note, does anyone know which town Ciel lives in? I know he has a small house in London, but where does he live?

Chapter 7

Lost, Roy felt lost when the raid ended. He tried so hard, so dreadfully hard, to save Annalise. Gone, gone was she with her laugh and happiness. She was with them not even an hour ago, and she has left him. Roy had never suffered a feeling so dead and miserable in his life. His heart pained him, making him even more distressed. This sickness was killing him bit by bit. It was as if Annalise was the only anecdote, because only with her does his heart flutter excitedly rather than in pain as so.

A very irritable high pitched sound flew through the air, making Roy even more anxious. Then he realised it was coming from his when Ciel shouted to stay quiet. Hearing Ciel's voice made Roy perk his ears up. Ciel usually sounded irritated, but his tone was also full of something unfamiliar to Roy's ears, the tone of desperateness. Roy took another whiff, still smelling the faint scent of sweet honey lingering in the air. He smelled it off of himself and Ciel from the bath the other night, but there was also a mix of chocolate that distinctly belonged to none other than Annalise. Even with the scent nice and fresh, Roy couldn't help but to stick to only a quick trot. There were too many smells that distracted him.

There was a fishy smell around him, as small town boys and girls held their mother's hands to aid in carrying fresh fish for dinner. Roy never liked to eat fish though; it just had this peculiar taste that he never enjoyed. And those bones, he nearly died on one of those. No, Roy didn't like fish at all.

Salt, fishy, and even the smell of sweaty men filled Roy's nose, but only Annalise's was significant to him. The drive to find her was commanding, making every other scent unimportant. Well, they were of course. This journey was solely to find Annalise!

Roy couldn't help but to think that he had forgotten something, until Ciel started to mumble to himself. Roy's ears listened carefully, but he was still trotting along as fast as he could to sniff everything out. Where could that girl be?

"That Sebastian. 'Your life is my first priority'," he mimicked with a low voice that was unmistakably supposed to be Sebastian's, "And what about my priorities? Don't they matter?" Roy didn't like Sebastian either, and happily blamed him for Annalise's capture, but Roy still knew that he was guilty. He remembered those eyes, the ones that belonged to Annalise as their gazed locked onto each other before she was taken away.

"Why? Why did they take them?" Ciel murmured, putting his head down on the soft fur that puffed around Roy's neck. Them? Annalise were two people? Roy didn't count very well, but he knows well enough that Annalise was one person. Who was the other person then? The faint recognition of blonde curly hair flickered into his head, and then faded away. No matter, Annalise was probably more important anyway.

The smell was getting noticeably stronger, and with that he quickened his pace. Sniffing the ground, the boxes, and even ─ to their distaste ─ the anglers that worked around the ports. Everywhere, Annalise's scent lingered.

"Roy, hurry. Please," Ciel said, rubbing Roy right behind the ears roughly. Roy knew he had to hurry, knew he had to find Annalise. His trot started into a full run, the smell of Annalise even stronger before. His nose twitched into the air. Where? Where did they put her? Ciel's hands clutched onto Roy's fur to hold on, causing slight pain to Roy, but Roy didn't feel it. He only felt the crazy beating of his heart, as he found out where Annalise was hidden.

A shack: musty, and a nasty brown colour, was all Roy could see now. This was it! He brought his head down, and braced for the impact, he could hear Ciel scream, "Halt! Roy, I said wait!" But Roy could not listen, his paws were working on their own. He didn't think, only did. He could only hope that bursting through the doors would be enough…

Scene Change

The smell of rotten fish filled her nose, a smell she was definitely not familiar with. Elizabeth's eyes opened, and to her disgust a man was grinning at her, his yellow teeth being revealed from underneath his lips. Elizabeth's face pinched together, in obvious revulsion. Not only that but she was on the dirty floor with her arms and legs tied together.

"Get away you filthy man!" she screamed, not because she was scared by him, but merely because she had an aversion of his demeanor. There were other men around him, who simply frowned, but they also caused Elizabeth to shudder. These men were revolting, with their faces full of dirt and their clothes in rags. Elizabeth knew she couldn't take it anymore.

"What do you want already? If you must know, Ciel is going to come here with his butler and they will rip you to shreds!" She wished that she could rip them to shreds now, if it wasn't for her hands being tied to her back and her swords being held by the shorter one of the men. He was gleefully swinging them about, quite dangerously actually. If Elizabeth was not hoping to get them back, she at least hoped that he would trip and impale himself with them.

There was a moan beside her and she found Annalise awakening. She felt a small flutter of happiness that someone sanitary was with her when she realised something with sadness. The poor girl was captured, on her birthday! Elizabeth hoped to help her feel better by talking to her, so she did so.

" Annalise! We'll be alright! I just know it, Ciel and Sebastian will-," at the word "will" a rough ─ and dirty, Elizabeth noticed with horror ─ hand descended upon her mouth and secured a dirty cloth tightly around her head. Elizabeth tried to scream, but it was all muffled and she could barely breathe. She choked miserably on the gagger, and the taste made her want to vomit. How dare they do this to someone like her? She lifted her eyes to glare at them, but they had all turned their attention to Annalise.

Annalise's eyes were opened now, and she looked powerlessly towards Elizabeth, distressed that her comrade had to endure such pitiful care. Elizabeth looked empathetically back, knowing that Annalise meant well and that she couldn't help even if she had tried.

"You," the short man pointed the sword at Annalise, apparently done with his antics, "You know where the rich boy's money is?"

Annalise shook her head, and boldly replied, "No, I do not. Now release us." The man just laughed a gross wheezing kind of laugh that made Elizabeth want to retch.

"We're not letting you go. Not until you tell us about that boy's money," another man scoffed roughly, taking over for the still laughing short man. His eyes were stern and intimidating. Annalise did not say another word. She just looked away, as if she had other things to do. This angered another man, who walked over and pulled Annalise's hair upwards, causing her to yelp in pain. Elizabeth lunged towards them, forgetting that she was tied up, only to find herself fall back to the grimy floor with her face. She glanced up to see Annalise struggling to ease the pain. Elizabeth couldn't do anything but watch the poor girl be tormented.

"You speak, we let you go!" the man yelled harshly. Annalise still wouldn't say anything, and the man was about to jerk even harder when he paused to listen to something.

"You hear that?" the short man was saying, his hand with the swords pointed towards the double doors that were closed off with a lock. Elizabeth couldn't hear much on the floor, until she realised that there was a commotion outside.

There was a scuffling of feet, and a sound of heavy panting. The sounds got closer and closer and Elizabeth even thought that she heard Ciel cry, "Halt! Roy, I said wait!" Then there came a crash, and a burst of light entered the shack, making dust billow up from who knows where. Standing at the wall of light was a huge brown demon hound, and sitting on his back was her lovely Ciel.

Roy's POV

Roy sneezed, the dust tickling his nose and aggravating it to no end. They really let this place go. Then he realised that he needed to get into battle mode when one man swung fancy looking swords towards him. He barked and leapt away, the sword only grazing his fur. Roy felt a small weight lift off him as Ciel jumped off, landing neatly onto the ground in a circle of men. Roy knew that all these men were bad guys by how Ciel was fighting them, flinging his tiny fists at them. Roy can fight too! He jumped, simply crushing whoever he stepped upon, and slashing with his teeth at the men he didn't step on.

This was kind of fun! Taking down enemies, Roy could do it for a living! He noticed Ciel struggling with a big man that merely picked his up by his shirt. Roy's anger flared, raging into a furry whirlwind that crashed into the man, slicing meat and crunching bones with his mouth. No one touches Roy's master that way! He continued to crush and kept an eye on Ciel's back, when he noticed something at the corner of his eye. One man was pulling Annalise's hair, talking gruffly towards her. Annalise was in obvious pain. This made Roy madder than ever, even madder than the time that Ciel was picked up by that man. His paws flew under him as he dashed over to the man, growling as viciously as ever. He grabbed the man's whole upper body in his mouth, and the male released Annalise with surprise.

The taste of blood grew even stronger as Roy chewed the man into mush. How dare he touch Annalise like that! How dare he! Roy spat out the red lump and turned around, seeing Annalise's eyes shine happily, yet a bit loathing the idea of the dead man. Annalise was joyful now, and it was all because Roy saved her! Roy sniffed her to see if she was alright, and finding the ropes he chewed her free. His heart felt like it was going to thump right out of his chest! He had never felt so happy, licking Annalise. But his happiness was his own demise, because right after he started to lick Annalise she screamed. Something sharp had cut into his side, the pain agonizingly flaming. His vision flickered as he looked to his side, the short man with the swords laughing magnetically, one sword dripping with Roy's blood. Roy gave one lick to Annalise, before he collapsed, a warm pool forming around his body…
