Next chapter guys! Finally!

Disclaimer: I don't own Black Butler, only my OCs and the plot.

On with the story!~


Normal POV

Ciel narrowed his eyes at Michael.

"W-what? What do you mean she's missing?"

Michael almost looked at him coldly. "Oh, I don't know! Weren't you the cause of why she ran in the first place? But yes, she's missing. I couldn't find her anywhere, and I searched the whole London. I called in the Phantomhive manor too and they said that they haven't seen Lady Elizabeth since this morning when we left."

Ciel looked to him deadpanned. 'He seriously searched the whole London...?' Then he turned serious again.

"So she must have been taken outside of London..."

"Hmmmm, although it's cowardice, I'll have to say that it's clever somewhat. If you hadn't searched the whole London, we wouldn't have concluded that they took her outside of the city." This sure is tricky... there's so much places that they could have taken her in, but...where?

"Let's find out where she was last, then we'll go from there."

They ended up outside an abandoned house, miles away from the mansion.

They couldn't see quite clearly as it was evening and there was barely any light.

"That's the ribbon Elizabeth was wearing on her head!" Ciel informed the others.

They jogged over to the tree where the ribbon was located near.

"How in the world did Lizzie run this far!? Even I'm out of breath from running here as fast as I could!..."

"Well, young master, if you'd like. I can teach you how to run long distances without getting fatigued easily..." Sebastian said as he took the ribbon oh his hands and began to examine it. He ignored Ciel's mortified look at the thought of running everyday.

"It's wet...must have been from the rain..."

"That would explain everything. Lady Elizabeth ran out of the mansion and must've stayed here until early evening, when it rained. She didn't have any cover and so got wet. The young mistress must have gotten sick and that's when the attackers decided to commence on their plan. You yourself, young master, know of Lady Elizabeth's special fencing abilities. If she was on full body health, I certainly have no doubt that she would have taken them out very easily," Michael concluded.

"The attackers must have been watching her for a long time, then..."

"You are correct, my lord. This kidnapping must have something to do with the other two prior incidents. One person seems to be behind all this." The ever so loyal black butler told his master.

Michael was thinking hard. "The real question is... Why?... Why did they kidnap Elizabeth, if you, Ciel Phantomhive, claim to be who they're after?"

He continued. "There's only two answers to that."

"One: They're trying to lure you out. But the chances are slim. Nobody yet, except milady and I and her cousin, know that your alive."

"Two: They think Lady Elizabeth is more of a threat due to her sword skills, and would like to eliminate her."

Ciel's eyes widened at the information he received.

'Lizzie...if anything happens to you...

...I will never forgive myself...'


Elizabeth's POV

My hands and feet are tied...

And I'm lying on a very cold floor...

Why?

My eyes blinked open and I tried looking at my surroundings, but it was pitch black and my eyes was still blurry...

I thought of the past events that happened. I was sitting near a tree...

Crying...

I felt so sick and then...

I was kidnapped...

.

.

I was kidnapped! I mentally slapped my face for not being aware of my surroundings. Mama will surely scold me...

'Sighs' ...and the kidnappers took me at my weakest moment too...

This is surely an embarrassment to the Midford and Phantomhive families...

Suddenly, all the lights turned on. It seems like I'm in a sort of a warehouse with lots of different corridors.

A maze...basically...

I saw a shadowy figure pass by, and...

"I see that you're awake... Countess Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Phantomhive..." Then he smirked.

It was none other than

.

.

.

Count Nile Emereon.

'That damn bastard...' I mentally gritted my teeth. I didn't want to show that I was getting mad because he'll think that he was getting to me, which I assure you is the last thing I want to do.

My body felt so tired and I couldn't move much because I still had a high fever, but despite that, I smirked at him slightly while my face was still on the ground. "Well, well, well...if it isn't the oh-so-noble Count Emereon. I can't say I was surprised though... because somehow I always knew..."

"With the way that you were so interested in the business of the Phantomhive family during the ball of my dear beloved cousin's birthday, it was obvious that you were plotting something against me."

'That bitch...' He scowled, then smirked again.

"Ah...it seems that you were more intelligent than I thought... You seem to show more promise this time. You also probably found out that I was behind the theft and the attack a few days ago."

I didn't answer that because I was boiling mad inside.

Then he left with the smirk still on his face.

Ughhh! I'm gonna wipe that off your face soon enough!

'Cough,cough!'


Nile Emereon's POV

'That girl'... I smiled to myself.

I know what to do with her. I'll make her mine. I'll do whatever it takes.

Her fencing skills are impeccable as I've heard. A true genius.

That's what makes her so valuable to me. She knows the secrets of the Phantomhive. With that, I can control them and eventually the whole England...

What better way to start than with the Queen's watchdog herself?...

I stopped at a door and opened it.

Chris Enfield. Leader of the Logos, my assassination squad.

"Chris... make the girl open up to you. Then use that..." I ordered him.

"You won't fail me...will you?"As the leader of my assassination squad, the word 'failure' wasn't in his vocabulary. Good...just what I needed.

He nodded and left to see the girl.

'Hn...I wonder what this will bring...'


Elizabeth's POV

'Cough, cough!'

My lungs were hurting so much from coughing, and this cold hard floor wasn't helping at all...

I could feel my fever getting higher by the minute.

Michael...

Justin...

Ciel...

Are they looking for me?

Are they gonna save me from this horrible, stinking pl-

"What are you thinking hard about..." Somebody drawled out.

My eyes snapped open above me and I saw a guy, probably the same age as me or a little older, with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. He was leaning against the wall in front of me, with his eyes closed.

'Who is he...?'

"If you're thinking about who I am... The name's Chris Enfield."

'How did he know what I was thinking...?'

"It's written all over your face..." His eyes was still closed.

'How can he see my face if his eyes are closed!?'

Just when I said that, he opened one eye and...

.

.

Started laughing.

"I'm kidding... You're probably thinking about how I could see your face with my eyes closed, right? Well...no, I can't. You're just easy to tell from, that's all."

How dare he?!

"Excuse you, but I see no reason for you to be laughing. Why are you here anyways?" I demanded from him.

But he just snickered and replied, "Oh no, princess... I don't matter, you do."

Princess...?

I blushed at that in which he smirked at. The git!

"Why, princess? Are you flattered?"

"If you don't stop I'll smack you!" I tried to rip the rope off my hands, but to no avail.

"Smack me, huh?... Why don't you try getting out of the rope first before you start dreaming..."

My face reddened at the comment. Ughh...he infuriates me to death!

'Coughs, coughs!' I started coughing again. My whole body started weakening so I just had to lay down on the cold floor again...

The guy must have noticed it because he came towards me and crouched down beside me.

I unconsciously blushed at the very close proximity.

"W-what a-are you doing!?" He was taking off his jacket.

"Giving you my jacket obviously. You're clearly freezing..." He proceeded to put the jacket on me.

So this guy still have some niceness in him after all, huh...

"T-thank you..." I told him slowly.

He stood up and pretended to bow at me saying, "Glad to have been your knight in shining armour, princess. I'm just gonna go make you tea to lessen your coughing and warm up your chest."

"H-hey! I'm not a damsel in distress!"

"You sure act like it..."

With that, he left.

He seems like a nice guy after all...

No, Elizabeth! He works for Emereon! He must be a bad guy, too!


Chris's POV

That girl sure is interesting. I smirked to myself.

Never met anyone as bipolar as her. One minute she's in a bad mood. The next minute she's thanking me. I don't understand her at all.

Hmmm...but that's what makes her interesting. Now I know why Nile-sama wants her. She certainly has a very strong personality.

As I made her tea, I took the vial in my pocket containing a clear liquid and pour some of it to the tea.

'Heh...that girl won't know what got her...'


Elizabeth's POV

I saw Chris coming back this way with a cup of tea in his hands.

"Here..." He handed it to me.

"Thanks again..." I told him without making any eye contact.

As I took my first sip, a loud explosion was suddenly heard to the east of the warehouse.

'BOOM!'


What do you think is the cause of the explosion?

So what do you think of the chapter? Good? Bad? Review and tell me!
